I thought Tim Schafer straight up said that Psychonauts takes place in the 90s, but I can't remember where I think I heard or read that.

You want the big prominent one that's towards the back on a ledge as you enter the cave. Just gotta stand in front of it to get the interact prompt.

Is it just the Steam version, or is the Game Pass version affected as well? There was an initial stuttering with whatever way the Gamepass version was set up for PC. There's bugs of course but I think that specific one of stuttering had to do with that. I also think it's fixed? I played through just fine on PC on an 3080 but I also know that's not going to be every PC lol

Played the whole thing (Steam version) at 1440p on an an rear end-old 1070 at pretty much max settings, never experienced any performance dips or crashes.

Are you actually in the cave behind the falls you get to by riding a log up or just the forest area next to them because the former is where you need to be.

I KNEW there was a cave behind the dang waterfall! It kinda looks like there is but you don't really get a good look at it for long enough when the logs go up  How do you even get in there easily?

It kinda looks like there is but you don't really get a good look at it for long enough when the logs go up As you progress through the game and gain additional powers, one of them in particular will be of use there. Specifically, you'll get a power that allows you to slow down objects in time.

It's also possible to get in without using that power, just very finicky.

Nope, just a ton of weird movement tech. Apparently there's some way to clip through water and run around underneath it. Here's the current WR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4ym8U7WEW4

There's one figment in [spoilers]Nona's[/spoiler] level that I can't reach. It's in the second area, with all the rail(ing) figments, at the end of the second rail. They're in an arc, like you're supposed to somehow exit the grind and get air when you do, but I just drop to the ground. Lev jumping doesn't get high enough no matter where I did it from. How do I get this one last figment?

I don't even see anything at the end, and I rode them until Raz was on the ground. I'll try again tomorrow maybe, I have a sick kid who just re-enacted Boole's boss fight.

You have to get on the rail early enough that you spool up the yarn into the ball.

Avoiding most of this thread since I don't want to get spoiled, but I read somewhere that there's a shortcut for the Levitation powers so you don't have to waste a trigger button on it. I found an option to use the balloon if you hit jump again in midair, but is there any way to get the rolly ball without actually binding it to a button?

Same option menu also has a toggle for the ball on the next press of the jump button.

I've done everything except getting all the figments, and I'm missing basically 3 or 4 of them on every level and the idea of running through them a bunch of times to find whatever nook or cranny I didn't go to is awful. Even using a guide would take forever and feel pretty unsatisfying and annoying. Its a drag because I'm really close to getting that platinum trophy.

Agreed, especially when some of the fuckers blend in against surfaces. I reckon what they could've done is make the Stray Thoughts Detector detect Figments while inside minds.

Just finished the story as well as the last few collectables to 100% the achievements.  Really enjoyed the game!Caesar Saladin posted:I've done everything except getting all the figments, and I'm missing basically 3 or 4 of them on every level and the idea of running through them a bunch of times to find whatever nook or cranny I didn't go to is awful.

I used this list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1brszMl9RLbrGcf_HPtpKvNhagy_f-z7i9hbEWiN9hO8/edit and compared my Figment graphics to the screenshots pictured to figure out which ones I was missing. It also provides enough description of where to find it in the level (the square brackets usually indicate where to fast travel to) so you don't have to search every nook & cranny.

In general I think the in-game figments list works well to push you in the right direction, though things like grass are hard to tell where they come from. Also, there is no 0/1 shown, so if you are missing one of those you're out of luck.

God, I'm missing 4 PSI challenge cards and I have the platinum. I'm seriously going to have to run through entire videos following youtubers to get these. Its two in the forest, one in the quarry, and one in the gulch. They could be anywhere, i wish there was a decent way in game to track them. The figments weren't that bad at all with the google docs guide. Is there a google docs guide like that for the PSI cards?

I don't know how you were supposed to know this mechanic introduced at the end of the game, and is only on these two railing, was going to be a thing. Just a few more levels to 100%, and fill my wallet, and I'll have this 100%. Hopefully before more Deltaruin comes out tonight or something.

The figments weren't that bad at all with the google docs guide. For cards in the gulch, they are spread out fairly well and there IS one by Cassie's building. I missed it entirely because of the hazards getting there. If you stand on the platform right by her building and look back toward where you came from, it's on a building to your right. E: also check the top of and bottom of the tower to Bob's building, there's a couple sneaky ones For the one in the quarry, there's one that you can only get by boat. Check under the motherlobe I can't help you with the forest, I have one loving card left and I spent an entire episode of The Adventure Zone poking around there to find it with no luck.

I played Psychonauts 1 many years ago and loved it. I just beat 2 and enjoyed it thoroughly as well Getting it on game pass was awesome. I downloaded psychonauts 1 on game pass. Any tips on modifying it to run on modern hardware with a wide screen 1440p monitor? Is rhombus of ruin worth the $20 for a two hour game?I have an oculus but get VR headaches easily so I was considering just watching a play through on YouTube.
