Bastion: Amazing game that you probably barely tried written off cause "diablo 3 is better"
Amnesia: Amazing game that you for some reason refuse to install without giving it a chance.
Psychonauts: One of the best and most original games of the past 10 years written off cause it's "not worth playing".

I didn't write it off. It's an okay game but I'm not really sure about why I would want to play it instead of AS (which is basically the same game minus falling, the story, the enemies and the persistence) or D3.

Why would I want to play something that's deliberately designed to be scary?

From what I've seen so far it seems to be pretty typical. And I said that it didn't seem to be worth dealing with the crashing and the mouse feeling like using a WiiMote.
And really, crashing twice before even managing to finish the tutorial is ridiculous for a game that's been out since 2005.

...the thrill? You know, like how people watch movies that are deliberately designed to be scary? It's a genre called "horror", look it up.

Here's you're problem: You're not using a controller. Both Psychonauts and Bastion are best played with an Xbox controller or similar.
Any crashes are your own fault. Update your drivers.

The story doesn't seem very interesting so far and Sabaton beats Bastion's music any day.

Thanks you for saving me the work of having to type out a proper reply.

The difference is that Bastion is completely playable with a mouse/keyboard while with Psychonauts it feels like they just copy-pasted the controller code. When you provide a feature it's supposed to at least be usable. Releasing a PC game without even making it usable for what is pretty much the control scheme for it is a pretty big whoops.

Yeah, that's why nothing else crashes on a regular basis. And the drivers are up to date.

Because I wanted to see what the Psychonauts/Bastion/LIMBO hype was about.
