[QUOTE=usaokay;52750553]Remind me why I should hate Tim Schafer[/QUOTE] You're perfectly welcome to like his games. He's definitely been deeply involved with some good ones. Doesn't change that the guy is an insufferable pretentious douche.
I'll say my expectations when I found out this was funded with FIG were pretty low, but I'm liking what I'm seeing. And despite being more of a point-and-click thing, Rhombus of Ruin felt like a TRUE Psychonauts experience. Not gonna get hyped, but I'm hopeful. Psychonauts is one of my all-time favorites, so it has a lot to live up to. Hope it can come even somewhat close.

As far as I know, those are the big things, so if you want to hate him for that, there it is. Personally I find those to be kinda shitty, but ultimately eh. Disappointing, but not enough to HATE the guy like some do. He's a genuinely passionate developer. He's had his low moments, but I can't help but respect him.
Tim has said some stupid things and has a bad track record with management, but other than that I can't help but like him. Especially in the Psychonauts vault viewer commentary.

Tim is a fucking asshole, but damn does he and his team make good video games
