I'd be in the dick
That Knack score is one of the lowest I've ever seen from Famitsu. I thought the game was just OK but I thought it would do better in Japan.
 
there's a Yakuza game for PS4?

Sega pls :(


ouch at Knack score but NBA 2K14 god score B^)
garbage server aside the my career mode was really fun.

Can't wait for Strider.

Some of those scores are a somewhat generous, but then this is Famitsu. But Resogun deserved better.

EDIT: To be fair, two of the reviewers gave Resogun 9/10, and I can appreciate it's not everyone's cup of tea.

knack is being bundled in free initially anyways so i don't think anyone cares about the score too much
 
Knack at 28/40 gives it a 70% so Yosp = vindicated.

All in all, pretty favorable reviews across the board. Let's shoppers know that they really can't go wrong with any game they buy for their new ps4 and that even Knack may appeal to some more than others.

I am one of those who think its great

This is the first time in a while that I've seen a sub-30 score in Famitsu. That or I haven't been looking hard enough.

Dat Ghosts score.. It's easily the worst COD in years, granted i haven't played all the recent ones but they really messed up with this one.
