I feel like it's been a while since J has played something he whole heartedly loves. Sure, I'm sure he has fun streaming B4B or Dead by Daylight but seeing and hearing him in a child like whimsy was a blast.
I ended up playing this for 11 hours the other day without noticing i spent my whole day feeling like i was in middle school again experiencing the psychonauts world once again
I'm genuinely surprised this is just under 20 mins. This man played this to 100% completion in two 11ish hour streams, we had to yell at him to get some sleep. I thought we'd get at least a 30 min video, if not two parts. J literally had a moment he started blubbering over the game and it was such a strangely wholesome moment. Hope you do more, J, show everyone your passion for this game!
They nerfed glide because you can still kind of break it like the first one. You can ground pound but press the glide button a couple frames later and you gain height. If you had infinite glide you could literally get ANYWHERE lol
I also assumed that abilities like Psi-Blast, Levitate, or Pyrokinesis were nerfed because, as opposed to unlocking them through ranking up in the first game, the player gets these abilities very early on...but also, probably to encourage more thought in combat.
Its a special kind of feeling here. A game that we all loved as a kid, now adults and the sequel coming out 16 years later...watching J play this first section of the game was like my own. Its just something we all can sahre.
I only played it this last year, heard about the sequel, it's been a great time. Helps I'm a big fan of double fine (my brother started me with Brutal Legend, and I realized they made point and clicks and some other well known games and fell in love because your not guaranteed great mechanics, but your guaranteed good style and interesting characters)
Now all I wish for is a new sly cooper so I can have my own form of childish glee. Probably won’t happen with what’s going on with the franchise, but it’s all I can hope for.
Well, supposedly they are indeed working on a Sly 5, according to a leaker and a industry insider (Nick Baker, who is usually very trustworthy). Lets hope its true. Then we would only need a new (good) Jak and Daxter! :)
9:31 Brain food/Food for thought. 11:21 Right idea, wrong aquato. 14:13 16 years - ~4 days. 15:41 People could see him do this the whole time apparently.
I played Psychonauts for the first time just a few weeks ago in preparation for this game to come out, and I fell in love. I wasn't quite so taken by nostalgia, but I loved it all the same, especially seeing all of the things carrying over. Hopefully you make more videos on this, because I'd love to see what you think of my favorite mind later on!
Psychonauts 2 is SUPER fun, really enjoyed the game to it's fullest. And sure the story was a tad predictable in some spots but that twist at the end...OH BOY!
between this and NEO TWEWY the fact that we got two NEVER EVER sequels this year and they both turned out fucking incredible is nothing short of a miracle
I just 100% this game. I almost teared up, this game hearkened back to the days of the ps2 era where games were just supposed to be fun. No bullshit microtransactions, grindy gameplay to make you buy exp boosters or general corporate greed getting in the way of the devs and the fun factor isn't sacrificed for realism. Also thank you Microsoft for supporting Double Fine! I doubt the game would've been as good without you! Brutal Legend 2/Psychonauts 3 next plz thank you.
This video really just flew by for me and I mean that in an amazing way just from having it being a jfj video. J has really made me appreciate games such as psychonaughts and tons of other games just with his views and personality alone and this is just another great example of that and makes me look forward to the more content he has yet to make.
I really REALLY HOPE there is a pt2. Sam is halarious later on. I remembered paying the DEMO of the first game trying to break out of the map, finally played that game and loved it! This game was just a perfect touch to all that.
I never got to play Psychonauts growing up, but I knew it was something I would have loved as a kid so I bought both 1 and 2 and binge played both games on the weekend and they are now my favorite
was that at the end a reference grim fandango ? in the second year manny runs a casino and in the base a teller says that constantly. in the same accent and pronunciation.
I watch jfj's psychonauts 2 videos when feeling down for a little bit since they came out. His pure joy is contagious and helps remind me there is a little bit of joy in the world. That helps alot. No joke these videos are helping me get over the death of a close friend. What I am trying to say, is thank you JFJ.
Psychonauts was how I found this chanel. I came back to an old game I loved as a kid after seeing it on steam. Then I went to TH-cam to see if anyone else liked it. Here I stumbled across one of my favourite content creators.
8:40 and here we see why Hollis shouldn’t be a psychonaut. Because raz in the span of about 30 hours saved the world, saved Truman, healed the minds of 5 people and a fish. Raz earned the psychonaut title. If he wasn’t at that camp, Hollis would be forced to send the organization to battle against the tanks and face meligula under prepared
I finished Psychonauts 2 last night & yeah. It was amazing. One of the best games I’ve played in recent memories. Only issues I’ve had were judging jumps but that’s about it.
I loved this game, I felt they did a superb job in being faithful. but I did have a few nitpicks. I miss the playable title screen where raz could run around the brain settings. I miss the item menu where you can use gadgets. and the smelling salts only being a pause screen exit items. there weren't any Psychic animals at all as far as I've found. and the npc's weren't as visually scary and bizarre as the kids. most the agents kinda look like muppets
i haven’t watched the other other videos so i’m not sure if ya found it but i’m fairly certain that if you grab a pole and go to the maternity place, and use maxed out pyro, it shows an alternate “beginning” that’s an animatic of raz in the hospital
I played Psychonauts for the first time last month, and I installed Pyschonauts 2 yesterday. I will say, I kind of adore the many improvements to the system that were made. The psychic badge system felt much more natural, I love not having to run around for ammo for the laser, and I am not seeing an obnoxious cobweb collector in sight! Sure, I miss a few things like the ridiculously OP levitation, but it is a great sequel.
Everyone: 16 years
Raz: its been 3 days
I feel like it's been a while since J has played something he whole heartedly loves. Sure, I'm sure he has fun streaming B4B or Dead by Daylight but seeing and hearing him in a child like whimsy was a blast.
And he continue to do that for 12 hour until they beg him to go sleep ... stream so good i watch for straight 3 hour and i tot its only 1 hour
I ended up playing this for 11 hours the other day without noticing i spent my whole day feeling like i was in middle school again experiencing the psychonauts world once again
Plus, unlike those two games, this one's actually good

no way there isnt a part 2
@@jamzilla960 I *REALLY* hope there will be.
as far as i know there were 2 more parts to this series
J seems like so wholeheartedly happy and that's nice. It's been a while. Hope he has more fun like he did this game.
God, i was watching it too, and he was so fuckin happy.
Also pretty sure that he streamed for 10 hours straight.
@@fish2845 he was, even 100%ed it cause he could. Even did another 10 hour stream after.
Xxxx

Watching JFJ play this was a joy, he was just elated about it.
They nerfed glide because you can still kind of break it like the first one. You can ground pound but press the glide button a couple frames later and you gain height. If you had infinite glide you could literally get ANYWHERE lol
i saw a vid of the devs watching a speedrunner break psychonauts he was flying everywhere

Sadly I've never played the first Psychonauts but I remember watching J play it in the past if I recall correctly.
"THIS IS A MUSLIM'S WORST NIGHTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE" i lost my shit at that
Same
I think this episode is the funniest
"Ew! I love it!" Is the perfect line to describe these games. I'm over the moon for Psychonauts' return!
13:18 As a Muslim, I can confirm that this is what Jahannam looks like
JFJ, the most wholesome misogynist. We love you sockman
"My name is..."
"Starts with a D!"

Rasputin:🤨
@@Jackillantern “Please don’t kill us lake monster!”
Deez nuts ha got him.
The fact that he cried because he loved this game is so heart warming!
12:23
The best edit in the world, I laughed for longer than I should’ve LMFAO
Now all I wish for is a new sly cooper so I can have my own form of childish glee.
Probably won’t happen with what’s going on with the franchise, but it’s all I can hope for.

9:31 Brain food/Food for thought.
11:21 Right idea, wrong aquato.
14:13 16 years - ~4 days.
15:41 People could see him do this the whole time apparently.
And a game like this wouldn't be complete without J having to ban someone.
Dude that Nukes Top 5 reference at 13:40 is amazing I love it
The fact we waited so long yet it turned out great is proof that their must be some good luck out there for humanity
The Clairvoyance parts made me laugh so much. They were just so funny especially the bacon one XD
Watching JFJ have such wholesome fun and complete joy in this game is so fun to watch.
7:53 i think the million dollars was too much for loboto to handle
13:22 if u don’t laugh at this you’ve never known true happiness

Finished this game a few days ago and it is was indeed worth the wait after so long
Psychonauts 2 is SUPER fun, really enjoyed the game to it's fullest. And sure the story was a tad predictable in some spots but that twist at the end...OH BOY!
Is Raz voiced by invader zim?
@@JeiPegOfARaptor Yes, Richard Horvitz
@@JeiPegOfARaptor The little paper Raz projection power you get later is voiced by Rikki Simons who also voices Gir so Zim and Gir are back together 😂
You can just hear JFJ's smile turn into shocked realization with that pitch tone at 13:53.
Seeing this after hurricane Ida was much needed, thank you so much J
8:13 malig-my nuts
funniest. line. ever. XD

Same could be said for Hi Fi Rush
Idk why but i love Jfj's childlike joy to see his childhood game back into well...this masterpiece
This video really just flew by for me and I mean that in an amazing way just from having it being a jfj video. J has really made me appreciate games such as psychonaughts and tons of other games just with his views and personality alone and this is just another great example of that and makes me look forward to the more content he has yet to make.
The genuine joy this game brought you is just- incredibly wholesome.
I just finished this last night, easily my favourite new game I have played this year. Hopefully there is a sequel
I never played the first game, I wasn't even born yet. But watching J play this was one of the most heartwarming things I've ever seen
13:20 god that came out of nowhere and i love it
"Crumpled paper gave me that shit!"
0:04
Every man deserves an experience like this, one of pure, unbridled joy…
1:38 Oh look Moxie from Helluva Boss
7:00 good, i'm not the only one who tried to do this
I really REALLY HOPE there is a pt2. Sam is halarious later on.
I remembered paying the DEMO of the first game trying to break out of the map, finally played that game and loved it! This game was just a perfect touch to all that.
I can't belive you parkoured your way up to that card and Psy marker in the atrium! That's so badass, I couldn't do it all without the stray thoughts!
The only problem with Psychonauts 2 is that eventually, you run out of Psychonauts 2.
Also, Norma is just the absolute worst.
For whatever reason, I genuinely didn't know Psychonauts was on the PS2. I always thought it was just on the Xbox
It got a PS2 version slightly later so most people think of it as a original Xbox game unless they were someone who only owned a PS2.

It's so cool to see J or anyone play something with this level of legitimate excitement. We need more of this.

This is actually the video that introduced me to your channel! And since then I’ve been a big fan of
This was so fun to play, I can’t wait to see the next episode 😆
Yeaaaah I'ma need a whole series of this videos, that'd be great.
Hearing J literally almost cry on stream and in the vid made me feel so happy. I haven't gotten the game yet but god damn do I love these two games
Someone has to tell him to buy that Bobby pin at the beginning because he is going to absolutely love what happens when you stay still
I was basically the same when I started the game too hahahah
Just screeching at everything, giggling. I cried a little bit at Raz' voice.
throughout the game I kept saying out loud "this is so freaking charming" and I kept screaming it st the end credits
Patrolling the majove makes you wish for a nuclear winter
Just realized that raz's VA is also the VA for moxxie. (From helluva boss).
Also hope y'all are having a great day!
he did invader zim too i think
@@ipza4968 think so too, overall good VA
That means hearing him say fuck will never be out of your mind
@@ipza4968 and his archetype is voiced by Rikki Simons, who voiced Gir. They hired him solely to reunite em again as a pair.

I can't wait to see you play through the rest of this game. Hearing you gush about smaller details like Bobby Pin is the best.
The pure joy that randomly erupts out of you makes for awesome viewing.
I was born In 2005, same year the og Psychonauts was released so I could never experience it but I can say J is the reason I love this Franchise now.
Thanks for the recommendation bought it beat it, to quote a really smart and cool guy I talk to in a stream chat "best game of 2021"
9:21 I’ll take any opportunity to listen to starscreams voice, be it buttery smooth or nails on a chalkboard
I finished Psychonauts 2 last night & yeah. It was amazing. One of the best games I’ve played in recent memories.
Only issues I’ve had were judging jumps but that’s about it.
"Ladies and gentlemen...this game is already better than _The Last of Us: Part 2."_ Mr. Sock Puppet, I am now DEAD.
11:20 bruh I’m fucking crying 😂
I've never played Psychonauts, but i'm loving how much you're loving it.
I been watching the streams. Can't wait to rewatch this too till it's at 10,000 views
I played through the game just recently, and I loved every second of it
I did the exact same thing with the paintings I feel that
So i watched the full 20 hours of JFJ streaming this and that was good
I'm just happy to see Richard Horvitz getting work again. I was so happy when Invader Zim got a movie and I was surprised to see him in Helluva Boss.
Nothing could've been better than getting another Psychonauts and it actually being WEIRDER
I cant unhear it that the main character came from the deepest hells of hazbin hotel
8:11
Ford apparently had the same thought too.
Thanks Steve, We'll always recognize and appreciate your voice for all of .5 seconds
Yo dude I got this game like a week ago and I fully understand why he’s gushing dude it is so goooood bro
I laughed so much at his reaction to the way NPCs see raz
The comparison to last of 2 is an understatement.
People that recognize Raz’s voice and say “it’s the guy from Helluva Boss” genuinely need to go somewhere.
I loved this game, I felt they did a superb job in being faithful. but I did have a few nitpicks. I miss the playable title screen where raz could run around the brain settings.

I am the milkman, my milk is delicious.
i haven’t watched the other other videos so i’m not sure if ya found it but
i’m fairly certain that if you grab a pole and go to the maternity place, and use maxed out pyro, it shows an alternate “beginning” that’s an animatic of raz in the hospital
I love your vids it brings me joy and happiness. I hope you’re doing good and have a nice day jfj
More of this please, hearing you being happy makes me happy
I am so happy for all of you Pyschonauts fans, getting a sequel, and finally getting to enjoy your sequel.
I burned all the paintings too hoping I’d get an achievement and when I did it all I felt a heavy dose of sadness.
Just realised raz has the same actor as moxxie from helluva boss, I love that
I love how it just cut to black after he got dragged down lmao
10:16
JfJ:oh holster for lollipops oh bobby pin
Me:ah Hell naw the made musa chef in comsublme
No shit just realised the voice actor for raz is the same for moxy in helluva boss, makes me want to play more now
which is also the voice of Invader Zim
I played Psychonauts for the first time last month, and I installed Pyschonauts 2 yesterday. I will say, I kind of adore the many improvements to the system that were made. The psychic badge system felt much more natural, I love not having to run around for ammo for the laser, and I am not seeing an obnoxious cobweb collector in sight!

Death + Socks with sandals = "I'd rather die than wear socks with sandals!"
I just find it neat that the opening intro was done by moxxie, what a swell guy.
We waited 16 years for this... It was worth it.
This will be the silksong of 2021.
Just finished my playthrough this morning and I see alot of my feelings mirrored in this video. Long wait, but well worth it.
