Knack 2 FREE on New Zealand PSN
- Thread starter Bustanen
- Start date
Considering Sony's account management database apparent mess of a structure, perhaps it is difficult to determine whether or not a license was 'purchased'.

It was scheduled as a PS+ game, but went up a month early, so Plus subscribers were going to get it anyway. I'm not sure if it was available to non-subscribers as well.
Yeah their infastructure is a mess, that's why it would not surprise me if they would never revoke it at all.
Yup my guess aswell.

I think of you delete the game, you won't be able to reinstall it without buying it.

If it was on the US PSN they would revoke it for sure but maybe on NZ it was a small enough incident to not bother.
I can still install it and I can't purchase it again.

Played it more than halfway with my 8 yr old lil bro in coop, he didn't wanna play anymore lol says it's bland he'd rather play a Lego game
Awwww
my 6 y.o daughter likes it, though. Opinions.
I find it dull, but okayish gameplay wise. This games aren't my cup of tea though, like Mario and sonic. I find them boring.
Some people won't forgive the first game sold more than Mario i guess, or that it got a sequel and insertgamehere didn't.

So the deal is dead, right? Has this thread become "Is this piracy? What will Sony do?" kinda thread?
Nope, more of a general shit on Knack kinda thread.

LOL. Typical.
Nah, more just people taking out their life's frustrations on a platformer.

He is probably ranking "competent" in the 7ish range, aka Shit Sux...
Put this graph a little bit to the left and it's accurate.
Anything below 6.5 is "shit sux"

Damn.
Actually, Taiwan PSN once screwed up and I end up buying Red Dead Redemption and its DLC for NT$80 (roughly US$ 2.70). It was a ''glitch'' or something.
Lego games are much better than Knack and not really bland, so...eh.> says it's bland
> rather play a Lego game
I know he's only 8 but jmon
I'd put Knack 2 above my favourite Lego game (Marvel), the combat is deeper, the platforming is more engaging and it offers up a surprising amount of variety.
Yup, same. It's a much more enjoyable game than the Lego games.
I hooked up a new ps4 pro last night. I originally "purchased" and downloaded this game on an original PS4. I signed into my NZ acct on the PS4 Pro this morning, was able to put it as the primary console, went online to the store > Library, and downloaded the complete game and soundtrack without an issues.
it's not just NZ,the majority of EU region was free for several hours
NZ/AU/RU/SA and other countries.

I'm having way too much fun with this game on Very Hard. It's gotten to the point where I kinda regret getting it for free. Then again, I did pre-order the first game, and I did plan to get this one down the line, but saving $40 is not a bad deal (and I'll be able to pick up Steamworld Dig 2 for the Vita when it's out).

Seriously this is game changer and needs its own thread!!! Thank you
Haha, no. That one button combat system already sucked in 06.
It's been done before with Fallout 4's season pass, a third party product. In most other similar situations Sony usually just eats the cost and moves on. There's been quite a few free games given out and not revoked.
Took four days for FO4's pass to get revoked.
I'm often surprised on here that so many people aren't aware of the + & . gmail options. I do wish that more people used these options to improve the security of account access.
What I've actually done is to set up more than one email account which I set up with a randomly generated dicewear address, such as.
I'd also recommend not simply using things like...
Because if your email address is included in a data breach somewhere it makes it easier for people try brute forcing your login deta.ls for other sites. It's still more complicated than just using a simple gmail address but I do like to make it as difficult as possible for people.
If you don't want to make it too complex then you can do something like this. This sort of thing is pretty good if you're having to type the email address often.
If you really want to complicate it for others then it's best to completely randomise it so you end up with something like.
Obviously, people really should be using a password generator anyway. There are many out there that people would recommend, the one I use is probably obvious from my avatar. I'm not going to name it though as it's going to look like I work for them or something, which I don't.

Yes, Lego Marvel is my favourite Lego game and 5 hours into Knack 2 I'd put Knack 2 above it if it holds up. I like Lego games but there are some significant factors in those holding them back for me. If anything, Knack 2 shows how a game can succesfully offer an experience both accesible for little kids and challenging for adults, with way better gameplay mechanics. But I remain by my stance that Knack 2 has far more in common with the God of War titles than with Lego titles.
Don't know about Knack 1, never played it and probably never will.

Did you also know that m.y.g.m.a.i.l@gmail.com and mygmail@gmail.com are the same. Lol you can put a period anywhere and it still directs to the one without any periods.

Forget about free Knack 2, this is the real gift of this thread.

I don't get the people who are trying to put down the guys who are saying that getting it for free wasn't morally wrong. Is it not the exact same as the Amazon Price Glitches? Are those magically morally right to do, but getting a game for free on PSN isn't?
Unless these are both the same groups I'm pretty confused.

It's immoral when you do it against their favorite company Sony.
