Same here, and same sentiments.I had 0 interest in this game but got it just because of the Amazon b2g1 free sale. I'm glad I bought it, fuck the reviews I've watched a few hours of it on twitch and it looks great.
Anyone else think the very low score reviews for this game are overly harsh after watching some streams? I've been watching the Shu Yoshida stream playing Knack for the past 20 minutes and it looks like a fun little game tbh.
I think Vita games have sold well proportionally to the number of consoles out. I think it has a good attach rate. The problem is system isn't selling so the max sales potential is limited.
I'm curious though. Are those games Vita exclusive titles or cross buy downloadable titles you can play on PS3/Vita?
People will find the Rev 3 review to be the most accurate by this time next week. Crap story and dialogue. Very tough. Quite fun. Cool levels. Fun bosses. 3/5.

I am reminded of why I don't listen to reviewers. I love this game.
everytime i watch something for this game be it a review or a vid, giant bombs quick look, whatever. i hear what they're saying and in most cases i feel they are true. but as far as launch titles go, i'm kinda stoked on this new console euphoria to where a basic attack list game that sticks to standard conventions and has pretty visuals but nothing dropping everyones jaw that can have a pretty strong level of difficulty leading to repetition actual sounds like a good clean fun time to me. i'm gonna die and die and die until i know exactly what double jumps, dodges and strikes will take out a wave flawlessly. i think the enemy variety that i've seen so far in videos and when pairing certain ones with others seems like a perfectly acceptable combat puzzle, if you will. we'll see how i feel of course when all is said and done, but i'm still very much optimistic.

i dont really have any interest in the game, but i find it sort of weird that people are lambasting the game in the way they are. the game isn't meant for core gamers as much as it is for "family play" and "game that isn't a shooter" crowds.
This is probably going to be a bargain bin game pretty soon, but i think it serves its purpose as a launch title fairly well -- there's not a lot of competition at the moment, so anything released is going to sell a lot.
I'm like 4 levels (little less than half way?) in and the game is fun. Simple, but fun. If you enjoy those Lego games, you'd probably enjoy Knack.
If it means anything to anyone, I played those 4 levels straight in one sitting and I kind of forced myself to quit because it's time for bed... otherwise i could have kept going quite easily.
Those low low review scores are pretty unfair because while the game isn't for everyone, it is a game of some quality. 3/5 seems like it's about right.
That audience argument is such utter bullshit.
That audience argument is such utter bullshit.
But still the truth. People like differend things, it is utterly shocking. That is why I care more about informative reviews than any reviewers opinion or number. Only thing more worthless than game review is movie or music review.

As much as I'm sure Cerny's intentions were good, he may have done the "old school" style character action game more damage than good here. Based on reviews, this may lead pubs to the conclusion that the formula's not viable when there just doesn't seem to have been a huge amount of "effort" put in here.
Even stranger that it's being used to demo the PS4 all over the place.
Let's give it a few weeks. PS4 owners don't exactly have a lot of exclusives to play right now. Console launch is one of the few times I personally trust reviewers more than gamersThing is, every live stream I watched so far, people have been saying that they love the game.
Exactly. The big problem for Knack (disclaimer: basing this on reviews I've read) only is not that it is a simple game for kids and families. There's simple proof available: this fall we've gotten 2 games that have the exact same audience, and they've been getting good reviews. I'm talking about Lego Marvel and Skylanders SWAP Force. Those two also happen to be very good games.

^nice use of gaf lol
Definitely getting this, can't stop watching the stream.
Co-op will be a nice bonus too, some reviewers clearly messed up, don't see how someone can give it less than 5-6/10.
Keep telling that to yourself. Good child friendy products are getting good reviews, believe the truth or not.
Just because it's supposed to be a family game and not a shooter doesn't mean people shouldn't be critical about it if it's crap.i dont really have any interest in the game, but i find it sort of weird that people are lambasting the game in the way they are. the game isn't meant for core gamers as much as it is for "family play" and "game that isn't a shooter" crowds.

Sales would probably affect publishers decisions more than review scores.

I'm with some of y'all, IDGAF what these reviews say. It looks like an enjoyable game to me. It's something different. I picked it up in the Amazon B2G1 free deal.
I spent a few moments trying to figure out what Doom cheat code that was.^nice use of gaf lol
Meanwhile on Wii U:
What are you posting that for? Different kinds of games, and nobody would pretend this is going to be like Mario.
This shouldn't transform into a Knack vs. Mario thread.
As much as I think Knack stinks and the people who ignore the reviews just to justify their future sucks, your post is one idiotic embarrassment.
I mean; So fucking what?
Ya but you'd have to buy a Wii U to play it, and no one wants to do that.
Oh come on. That shit is just uncalled for. I'm as hyped for Mario as you are, but this has nothing to do with Knack's review scores.
Pretty game but was that gif supposed to show some kind of deep gameplay? Nothing in that looks more than basic Mario platforming stuff.
Lol, sorry guys. I admit that I was being a bit of an internet rascal on purpose. I knew that posting that image would produce a reaction but I didn't think it would result in responses like these.Not even trying hide your trolling, wow
