Zero Punctuation: Psychonauts
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
I can say that I absolutely loved this game when I played the demo. I plan to buy the full version soon.
And, as a random note to point out, the summer camp gate shown at 2:00 of the video was the entrance gate to a Boy Scout camp known as Camp Woodruff that I attended once.

Clever and imaginative games don't sell well these days (Psychonauts, Beyond Good and Evil, Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, Fahrenheit, etc), this isn't the fault of the general gaming public but more of the passionless distributors that give no advirtising on these games and only seems to produce a limited number of copies so they can make sure no one buys them.
This crap happened with Zone of the Enders: the 2nd Runner in Europe and Australia, Atari practically cancelled it the week it was released, and this game I thought was one of the best action games on the PS2.
It seems that companies only want the FPS and Nintendo titles to succeed and that's about it, like Sir Croshaw said about Mass Effect; Bioware needed to say the game had some polygonal sex in it for it to sell. This begs the question why Omikron: The Nomad Soul didn't sell.

I got this game recently and I have to say it is awesome. The levels are so bizzare it actually feels like you could be in someone's mind. It's a shame that this game will probably never see a sequel.
I have yet to play a game that matches the sheer brilliance of Psychonauts, regardless of it's flaws it was an amazing game!
Maybe he just fudged the list to dick around with people.BlueInkAlchemist post=6.47939.624353 said:
I got to thank Yahtzee for thís review. I had never heard of Psychonauts before this, and I got my righteous punishment for not buying it before. That is corrected now, and I'm a proud owner of the game. This is also a great review in itself. This is the video I show my friends if I want them to watch zero punctuation.
Thanks for the game tip
