I've heard great things about Psychonauts, but what is Stacking like? Is it just a simple puzzle game?

 

[EDUSAN]

stacking is a very weird game... you have levels in which you need to solve puzzles (situations), each situation has (if i remember correctly) 3 solutions, using 3 different "dolls"

so you basically are switching dolls and using them all the time.

i liked the game... is very unique in its own way

Is it just me or did they tease at the end of the email that they were going to add Fortnight and Amnesia to the bundle?

Psychonauts and Costume Quest both really good. Moreso the former, but still.

Neither of those games are Double Fine games. Just a pun on their part.

Ah, no they Amnesia Fortnight was the time off of programming Brutal Legend given to employees that produced Costume Quest and Stacking. It also produced Iron Brigade and Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster.

Holy crap, this just reminded me that I still have not redeemed my THQ humble bundle from November. I better get on that; don't even remember what games were in it. :hmm:

Good bundle

So good I have them all already, well except Brutal Legend

 

[Craig234]

Very good deal, if you like the games.

Stacking is basically like an adventure with a unique mechanic of the dolls.

 

[Barfo]

I feel stupid for preordering Brutal Legend and hardly playing it.

 

[gothamhunter]

Might pay a penny for the Stacking and Costume Quest I don't own.

I've been thinking about getting their new Kickstarter game since I missed it at the cheaper ($25) price. For the current $35 price ,I would get the new game, some games I already have, and Brutal Legend (don't own). Not too bad. Is there any info I can check out to see what the new game is about? I know they have a lot of videos and stuff, but they're for buyers only.

 

[EDUSAN]

i know im a cheap bastard.... but considering that i've got the other games and i only want brutal legend i dont feel like paying 8 bucks for it :S

i know begging is bad but... anyone bought the pack and already had brutal legend and wouldnt care giving me the spare key?

Wait until next week, maybe they will add a few games to it to add to the value for you.

Costume Quest caught my eye last fall, but I never investigated much. I was interested in it for my 7 year old son. Anyone that's played it.....would a second grader like it? How about Psychonauts?

Thanks!

Been a while since I played Psychonauts but I think some of it would probably go over his head plus some of it might kind of creep him out. It's a great game but he'd probably enjoy it more in a couple years.

Costume Quest is right on though imo. Goofy humor, not particularly complex combat or puzzles and not really long either.

Plus the french fry costume is awesome

Pay the penny (or dollar for Steam) and get them. If your 7 year old doesn't like them then you play them

Anyways, I think so.

 

[rivethead]

Yes, that's probably my approach (paying a buck). I want Brutal Legend for myself....so I'll end up with Costume and Psycho anyway, but I don't want my seven year old to have access to my Steam account, so I'll probably just get them separately for him on the cheap.

darkwaffle/gothamhunter - thanks for the input!

Aw did double fine run out of money from their kickstarter game and need more?

 

[Piotrsama]

^That's what TB was guessing yesterday.

 

[JujuFish]

8 prototypes added to the bundle.

 

[slpnshot]

What are prototypes? Beta access to games?
