Wasn't it meant to have been a launch title? Talk about missing the mark.
Ah well rest I assured, I've got it. It does indeed rule.

I was late to the party with this one, but I think it's great. Some stages have a "Disney World" feel to them if you can understand that in any way. Like, when you would go to Disney as a kid and feel like you're in this little world that doesn't exist and you're experiencing it, it's an odd comparison but that's exactly how it feels to me.

Probably didn't help that this game was pronounced dead at one point.
I'd say what's depressing is that from the time I clicked on this thread until I hit the "Submit Reply" button, about 200 people died worldwide.
I've been playing Psychonauts on the PS2 and have been enjoying it somewhat, but I think the game would have been much better off on Gamecube than PS2.
The ideas and the world are really cool, well thought out and very funny, but the game has been developed for something like the X-box and it shows. The PS2 just doesn't do this game justice and I think the gamecube would have handled it better, technically, and there probably would have been more of an audience for it.

The Nintendo DS' Japanese sales? Man, it's depressing to think that there's folks out there who hate gaming enough to buy one.

I tried Psychonauts and couldn't really get into it. I don't find Tim Schafer as funny as some of you apparently do, and I'm really not into ZOMG WACKY.

Shut up; you like Killer 7, which is arguably the most suicidally retarded game of this generation. At least Nintendogs has the excuse that it isn't actually a game.

Psychonauts is pretty easily more fun to play and more humorous than frickin' Conker. And it's not bogged down with a bunch of fart humor and parodies of movies that came out nearly a decade ago.
Cube audience loves platformers, and there weren't any other Cube games released for the entire month. Psychonauts would have done much better there due to the audience as well as the lack of competition. These are the goofballs that made A PORT of Tails & Knuckles Shitty Adventure 2: Battle a million seller.....surely DoubleFine's game would have gone over well.GhaleonEB said:
I wonder if this is a case where releasing a PC version hurt the overall sales. I mean people who would buy this game for Xbox are nerdier folk who know more about games and since own an Xbox are more technically minded. Falls in well with the type of person who downloads PC games as well.
To me, Psychonauts falls into that special category of games that are unlike anything on the console shelves.
It plays like a platformer, but feels like a PC adventure game. As for the Xbox, I think the game joins the ranks with Phantom Dust as things you really should play if you're sick of the same old stuff.

Well, I'm waiting for the PC version which is due out any second now, then it'll be 25,500.. +1.
There's something quite nice about playing Psychonauts at 1920x1200/ 60 fps/ 4x FSAA on a 23 inch monitor with Digital DVI input... And I got it all playing on a Dual Shock 2.
The PC demo was so good, I nearly cried. No kidding.
If you want more games like this you gotta make sure you go out and buy it. With sales like this Double Fine will never make another game like this. So go out and support it. Put the DVD burner down.
