Lol ouch

 

[SgtCobra]

From Eurogamer *spoilers*:

There are two women in Knack; one of them is evil and the other one starts off bad, realises she was wrong and asks the men to save her. These are some last-gen gender politics.

Sony Japan am sexist?

Spoiler

jkjk

 

[CitizenCope]

Saw this coming with every video they showed.

 

[CambriaRising]

Glad I only spent $28.00 on it. At 11 hours long it sounds meaty though.

 

[KillerTravis]

Holy shit!

 

[Mobius 1]

Gamestop gave it a 4.

Shame

 

[Majestad]

This is even worse than Genji for PS3.

 

[Kerub]

That Joystiq review..oucchhh.

 

[Kosma]

Daaaaamn.

This is going to be free on PS+ within 3 months.

 

[RoboPlato]

Ouch. Getting it for free but damn these scores are worse than I expected.

 

[Bookoo]

considering that 7/10 on IGN means "literally unplayable", what does 5.9 means?!

No, that is what users think it means.

 

[Amneisac]

Man, I paid $40 for this, but I still might not open it after these reviews. This is far worse than I had expected. I bought it specifically for the co-op.

 

[Moz La Punk]

The Dutch gaming websites Gamer.nl and InsideGamer give a 6.5 and 4.5:

[hwy_61]

Perfect

LOL

 

[PAULINK]

Can't say i'm surprised, though I guess I was hoping it was going to be better than the demo has left me to believe.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

haha oh boy.

 

[Hot Coldman]

" A must-buy. It will redefine the platformer genre forever. 10/10."

 

[darkwing]

Puppeteer should have been a PS4 launch game

 

[Raw64life]

About what I was expecting. Blatant launch fodder.

 

[Ashes]

If it looked as good as Ryse, maybe it would had scored higher.

 

[fi1ip]

Ouch. I had a feeling about this.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

I didn't expect this bad...

Feeling better about making FIFA my third game instead of Knack now.

 

[LordBaztion]

Look it from the bright side, in three months will be free on PS+ and going to make a good Final Bosman episode.

 

[Crisco]

Welp, trading in my unopened copy for a good game.

 

[flyinpiranha]

The game doesn't look finished. The demo I played seemed like just that, an early demo of a game that needs to be filled with "life". You literally would walk down a closed off street with just one or two enemies, nothing else moving, all static.

I think the idea is great, the execution seemed rushed.

I really hope it doesn't deter him from making a second game. I think if he actually has time to make his game, and not build a gaming console, we could have something special. But it really feels like an early PS2 game with fancier graphics. (I only played about 10 minutes of it).

[x-Lundz-x]

Disappointing reviews so far. Still bought it though, hopefully I'll enjoy it.

 

[daveo42]

Oh wow. That's very disappointing. I'm still going to get it and play it on launch anyway, but not sure if it'll be one of the games I'm going to keep.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Well Dayum

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Lol god damn

 

[UberTag]

Should have ported Gravity Rush instead.
What a disaster!

At least the Vita will get a decent platformer this month.

 

[Listonosh]

Definitely expected these scores, but after playing at the Sony Store, it was definitely a game I'll enjoy, despite the low scores.

 

[Sanke__]

cough....gameinformer 8.25/10....cough

 

[ShogunDarius]

thankfully i dont let reviews disuade my playing choices otherwise I would have missed out on some games I loved over the years, i'll still play this around launch time.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

I'm surprised at the surprise.

 

[Majestad]

I wonder if Knack was a Nintendo game how it would be perceived. Not making excuses but I think the general consensus is this game is filling a certain category at launch? Parents with kids or mainly for kids but elements thrown in for the more advanced user? Someone feel the same way? Chime in if Im looking at this right or the wrong way.

If it was a Nintendo game, it would probably have, you know, good gameplay and level design.

 

[mclem]

Wow, hyper bomb. More like...Krap? Lol

Kack.


I wanted this to be good, I really did. Rather disappointed.

 

[Sendou]

Man, platforming is dead

I can't quite put my finger on it but I almost get the feeling that something very promising is hitting the stores 29th November.

 

[RumblingRosco]

So it's averaging a 5.6 based on 5 reviews so far, one of those reviews being an 8 and the rest being no higher than a 7.

That's rough. =\

 

[Mik317]

Well shit.

Vire was right... More than he knew lol.

Shit oh well its free but I doubt I will hold on to it for long lol.

 

[TheChits]

Man, platforming is dead

Tearaway and 3D World next week. Hush

 

[maquiladora]

Brutal.

 

[Sorc3r3r]

Going to cancel preorder sorry Cerny.

 

[Suzzopher]

Well that has saved me £45.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Kn4ck

Still want to try it for myself though.

 

[Nestunt]

people that have more than , i dont know, 10 years of gaming should not be admired

just look at those videos

most was justification for ps4 pre orders

and watch dogs delay

 

[TerryWogan]

The exclusives aren't up to much it seems. Ass Creed 4 for me then I suppose. Was really hoping Knack would be good.

 

[darkwing]

somebody twit yosp, hope he is ok

SCEJ you had one job

 

[Black Republican]

Good lord

as i said before, Free PS+ version i'll get. The free indies and KZ will fill the platform void for me
