Umm......no.

A little off-topic (or on-topic, if you will), but I just finished Psychonauts (great game, but you all knew that), and I don't know what all the fuss about Meat Circus was about. IMO it wasn't much more difficult than the previous levels.

But the ending just screams out for a sequel!

Spiwak · 03-23-2006, 05:43 AM

Meat Circus overall wasn't all that difficult, but I hated (HATED) the acrobatics part. And it took a few deaths at least to figure out the strategy killing the butcher all three times. The final final fight was simple, but it was supposed to be (like the final confrontation between Cloud and Sephiroth)

I still think the ending was supposed to be humorous/sarcastic.

Congrats on beating the best game of 2005!

You sent us in this direction

I'm still sitting on the ending of this; I need to find the resolve to finish the damn Meat Circus level

.

Spiwak · 03-23-2006, 06:51 AM

Mail it to me along with $50* and I'll gladly beat it for you.

If you're so close you just HAVE to beat it. Totally rewarding. And the ending, I thought, was a perfect closing.

*I also accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and PayPal.

Fop · 03-23-2006, 06:53 AM

I had to buy a pad to beat Meat Circus. It was worth it, though.

Kolzig · 03-23-2006, 07:06 AM

I don't think Meat Circus is that hard, the beginning is maybe a bit frustrating at first but I think that it is as good as the rest of the levels.

Well maybe not as good as Milkman conspiracy and Goggalor.

Fop · 03-23-2006, 07:18 AM

Or Black Velvetopia or Waterloo, but better than the agents' levels for example.

A Psychonauts sequel is optional.

I see your point. It's still very convenient for a sequel, though.

Since we're speaking about the ending here, I have one small complaint with the game...

Spoiler:
The game lacked a good villain. Dr. Loboto was more like a sidekick to Coach Oleander, and Oleander himself wasn't much of a villain in the end, either. I guess it does kind of tie in with the theme of inner demons, though. But I still think the game could have benefited from a decent villain.

The agents level? you trying to say Meat Circus is better than the Milkman Conspiracy?

*Melanie68* · 03-23-2006, 10:41 AM

I'm having a good time seeing where you took this thread.

It really didn't matter where it went to me - I love seeing how conversations evolve.

No, I'm saying Milla's disco level and that cube level were worse.
