[Ashes]

Wait, so this can't be free on psn+ because it scored too low right?

 

[cripterion]

Dayum.. Watching the Knack IGN review I expect the same score for Ryse.

 

[Somnid]

It always looked bad but I was expecting more in the 7 range with hype-bumps. Ouch.

 

[paradox121]

Poor Knack. I was kinda expecting average-ness but 4's...wow.

 

[Alpende]

Kind of expected this. It didn't convince me in the trailers. The game looks so empty.

 

[CitizenCope]

Does upping the difficulty bring it to a 10? God if I had to hear about that hard difficulty setting one more time.

 

[thenexus6]

Maybe wait until this is £20...

 

[plagiarize]

Wut? Kameo had a decent to good reception.

Knack is getting blasted.

yup. at least now I don't have to pick between AC4 and Lego Marvel Heroes. I can get both.

 

[Dead Prince]

Kyle Bosman are you okay? tell me youre okay.

 

[sixamp]

I guess cerny should stick to engineering hardware . Poor knack it looked kinda promising

 

[Begaria]

I feel incredibly vindicated in not buying into next gen yet. My "at least one year" policy rules the day! I'll just keep on trucking with PC.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I knew this game looked mediocre, but I wasn't expecting this bad of a reception. Ouch.

 

[Izayoi]

Panned. Looks like Sony forgot to line some pockets.

 

[flatearthpandas]

So I guess the stupid looks on everyone's faces in the PS4 hipster ad was because the game was so boring, not because they were all idiots. Here I thought Sony was insulting us, when really they were just keeping it real.

 

[casnix]

Ouch. That's a bummer. I'll still give it a go though.

 

[DrFunk]

I knew it looked bland as all get out, but this is unexpected. lol

 

[Hurricane43]

Game was fun when I played the demo at Gamestop, but who am I. I enjoyed it.

 

[Oersted]

Greatness awaits, please keep waiting.


I know, way too cheap.

 

[trixx]

People called this when they seen it at e3. Just pick up a lego game.

I didn't know it wwas going to be this bad, though.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Dayum.. Watching the Knack IGN review I expect the same score for Ryse.

It's got blood and violence. Expect higher reviews.

This looks like it would be fun with the kids in co op. Would like to try a demo on the store at launch.

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Wow @ the Eurogamer review. "Wretched and clunky" 4/10.

Not buying this game, sorry mark.

 

[fantomena]

Seems like there is still a big bomb that needs to be launched.

 

[LiK]

Maybe wait until this is £20...

Or free on PS+

 

[darkwing]

poor Knack, was sent out to die

 

[Majestad]

Knack? More like Knock'd.

 

[Ovek]

It doesn't surprise, all the videos of it looked boring as hell. Still going to buy it though probably.

 

[travisbickle]

I expected uninventive, but technical design issues I didn't expect.

Still believe Cerny was right to produce a game like this for launch, it just would have been nice for it not to be a repitive bore.

 

[stryke]

This is brutal

 

[Frumix]

 

[phosphor112]

Lol! Oh wow. Those are brutal.

 

[mclem]

Whoa, the truth was in the title all along.

("Kack" = German for crap)

It's generally "Cack" in the UK, but the principle is much the same.

 

[FreeMufasa]

Warned u guys about Cerny for months.

 

[Takao]

Could this be SCE Japan Studio's worst game?

 

[Paracelsus]

Anybody against me when I say they should have let Naughty Dog handle a platformer rather than forcing them on Uncharted and more Uncharted clones?

 

[Gamefreaks221]

.... ummm why am I buying this again....... oh well.

 

[symphonask]

Panned. Looks like Sony forgot to line some pockets.

Yes that's definitely it. Meanwhile Nintendo is sending bags of money and cocaine to reviewers for their Mario review next week. Watch it get much higher scores than Knack.

 

[ieatzombies]

Thank zeus I left in the wrapper..aaand back to gamestop it goes. Damn knack..

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Gametrailers review makes me regret even getting this as my free game
-a game that looks like a rejected Saturday morning cartoon
-Whether youre 5 or 25, Knack is boring throughout its 10 hr duration
-5/10

 

[Metalmurphy]

Brutal scores, but not unexpected.

 

[Sid]

Dat Cerny.

 

[zinder]

 

[Bad_Boy]

 

[dreamer3kx]

Rev gave it a 3.5, good enough for me, I only care about a couple of reviewers.

 

[Lumination]

The good news is that the lower half of the grading scale isn't dead!

 

[KOHIPEET]

Well. Fuck reviews, my personal experience will decide everything.

Spoiler

Still buying it. Yes.

 

[Prevolition]

Why do you guys care so much about scores? Play the game yourself and see if you like it.

 

[BPoole]

Pre order cancelled (not joking this time)

 

[QaaQer]

Panned. Looks like Sony forgot to line some pockets.

Reviewers don't like tuna-mayo flavored doritos and salty watermelon flavored Mt Dew.

 

[SiRatul]

Damn...I actually thought this could end up being a surprise and would get decent scores. Was gonna wait for it to come on PS+ but who knows what will happen with those scores.

 

[flkraven]

Wow. This game got grilled harder than I expected. I thought I'd see 7s but tons of sub 6s. Ouch.

So the new game is, which will have the higher Metacritic score? Ryse or Knack?
