Between ka and boom

 

[typhonsentra]

It bombed hard.

 

[boutrosinit]

Yeah. I heard like less than 50k. A sad, tragic shambles of a shame. And it's not like they didn't try either!

*stunned*

...It's not pretty:

PSYCHONAUTS 12,912

 

[VALIS]

About 12,100 in April, if I remember correctly. In other news, every gamer on the planet besides 12,100 of them are a bunch of sorry ass chumps.

XBX PSYCHONAUTS $640,731 12,912

 

[AniHawk]

God you guys are slow.

Think of a low number

Now imagine you are playing Bruce Forsyths 'Play your cards right' And the number you thought of represents an ace (which is low).

(now imagine that image works cause pedigree chum ruined gaf for everyone).

Bruce: "Higher or lower than an Ace?"

Crowd: "LOWER!!!!!!!"

You: "Higher, Bruce"

Bruce: "Ohh, taking a risk lets see, is it higher or lower than an Ace, if its lower then the other couple get a free go at the board and the chance to win a grand..."

*turns it over to reveal "The rules for stud poker"*

Bruce: "ITS LOWER! Margret and Kenny its your turn.."


You get the idea.

So who sucks more, GC owners for not getting RE4 or Xbox owners for not getting Psychonauts?

 

[distantmantra]

So who sucks more, GC owners for not getting RE4 or Xbox owners for not getting Psychonauts?

As much as I love Psychonauts on my Xbox, we all know the answer to that one.

 

[AniHawk]

So who sucks more, GC owners for not getting RE4 or Xbox owners for not getting Psychonauts?

Well Xbox owners, because at least RE4 got SOME recognition.

And the PS2 version of Psychonauts has been delayed forever. I thought it was supposed to be out in May, and now it looks like a July release. You get a cool shirt if you preorder though.

From the psychonauts newsletter:

It’s been a long wait but while you were waiting, Budcat was putting the finishing touches on the outstanding PlayStation 2 version of Psychonauts that recently went gold. The assembly line has whirred to life and as you read this your precious copy of the PlayStation 2 version is being manufactured so you can play it in a few short weeks. We’ll be bringing you review coverage on this bad boy soon but until then make sure you blow off all other commitments so you can dive right into camp life on the 21st.

 

[NWO]

So who sucks more, GC owners for not getting RE4 or Xbox owners for not getting Psychonauts?

Well RE4 has sold around 1.3 million worldwide in 4 months while the other game can't even break 40,000 worldwide. So I think the answer to which owners suck the most is an easy one. Plus RE4 will continue to sell and get a boost from the PS2 version and once it hits Player's Choice and Greatest Hits where as nobody is going to be buying Psychonauts anytime soon.

Underage drinking rocks.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Why hasn't it dropped in price yet? I'm waiting for it to drop, then I'm picking it up, without hesitation.

 

[Dilbert]

Is the PC version just as good as the Xbox version?

 

[Amir0x]

Everyone who didn't buy Psychonauts will die a destructive death. And that's almost everyone, apparently!

Can this ***** writer be trusted to cover his end of a beer offering?

Don't be cheap! Support this fantastic game.

 

[boutrosinit]

Yes it does!

You'll love London!

Funny guy. and I don't write for *****. Did like 2 years ago for a day, but that was it.

 

[FortNinety]

Don't be cheap! Support this fantastic game.

Seriously. A problem with hardcore gamers is that they know a game is really good despite causals really not giving a shit, and yet they're also the type to wait it out for a massive price drop. Support something good right out of the gate from Chrissakes!

Double Fine for taking so long then getting dumped by MS.

Your whining pass for games not being original/fun/cool/well-produced is revoked. Who cares how long it took? It turned out well, and I bought it on day 1 for full price. That's all it boils down to - supporting the stuff you believe in when it hits the market.

I agree completely, but with how quickly it seems like titles drop in price it makes waiting a little easier for some.

Yep, that shit happens way too much. The hardcore folks (like most on this board) bitch and moan about companies like EA playing it safe and destroying creativity in the industry. Then DoubleFine puts out a fucking fantastic game and those same people wait for the price to drop.

Maybe the death of creativity shouldn't only be put on the shoulders of the suits at the big publishers. Support a good game by paying full price.

Actually, if you're talking about GAF, people bitch and moan about EA etc. for playing it safe then don't buy Psychonauts because it isn't Japanese.

 

[MetaKnight]

Is that Xbox only? What about the much superior PC one?

 

[Uncle Dukey]

Is the PC version just as good as the Xbox version?

PC version is fine. Plays nicely with a Playstation->USB controller converter, but even a keyboard and mouse setup will suffice.
