Watching people defend knack just reminds me of people defending crap like gun and perfect dark zero.

Well there's this thing called opinions...

 

[CambriaRising]

People with different opinions than OP = thread shitting. Right.

Spoiler

You're lost if you think the OP is serious

 

[AzureSkies]

Game is trash, sorry.

Go play 3D World to see what a real platformer is.

This is like calling Perfect Dark a bad adventure game.

Knack is not a platformer.

 

[Gilby]

Nah its like that the entire time. I imagine most of the hype is that its a playstation exclusive and not the actual quality of the game.

Well that's too bad. Maybe the devs were rushed, maybe a sequel will have time to make some interesting new mechanics.

 

[Atlas157]

People with different opinions than OP = thread shitting. Right.

Even though I asked in the OP for all Knack haters to go somewhere else. If you want to shit on the game, then make your own thread for it.

This isn't even a serious thread.

 

[SRTtoZ]

LOL

 

[maxcriden]

You're better off setting up your PS2 and playing Vexx, Sphinx, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, Scaler or Ruff Trigger instead.

Scaler and Ruff Triger are new to me. I've got Vex on my radar, and own Sphinx and I think Ty 2. Any other recs? Were Scaler or RT any good? I was bemused and surprised to see RT's website is still up:

Knack dancing during the credits was the only good thing about this game

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Gotta love all the salty people coming in here and taking this seriously.

 

[mothball]

Omg, I still remember how fucking salty this made Nintendo die-hard fans. Even though it was obvious trolling, it was amazing how mad it got people.

Looks like it still works quite well.

You know Carrington, I really am the Perfect Dark.

 

[Floridian]

People with different opinions than OP = thread shitting. Right.

Your last post was thread shitting and has a "Stop liking what I don't like" tone to it. It's not necessary to dismiss fans of knack just because you may not like the game.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I've been meaning to give Knack a try. Is it $20 yet?

 

[twisted h3art]

Even though I asked in the OP for all Knack haters to go somewhere else. If you want to shit on the game, then make your own thread for it.

This isn't even a serious thread.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

omg my sides :lol

 

[Skeff]

Played the game, enjoyed it.

Posting knack gifs that seem to make non fans angry is just a bonus, was gutted knack 2 wasn't announced at PSX.

 

[jack_package_200]

Well that's too bad. Maybe the devs were rushed, maybe a sequel will have time to make some interesting new mechanics.

I doubt that. The overall gameplay is so simple and unambitious.

What they should have done is a kid/family hack n' slash God of War esqe game. Easy for the kids but with plenty of depth for a more hardcore audience.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

 

[Shin-Ra]

Add Vexx to the list of ugliest character designs.

That was some Sudeki tier shit.

 

[Khaos_Knight]

 

[alr1ght]

Anyone have a link to the thread where this was first posted? I wanted to read all the salty reactions.

also, this

 

[Tallshortman]

Drawing out the people who get salty over others liking knack is the best part of knack threads.

 

[Bold One]

 

[lumzi23]

What is that?

 

[Theecliff]

Lol @ people getting upset over this thread. Calm down, let it be. Embrace Knack and all your worries and problems will fade away.

 

[MegamanPoweredUP]

Many games are so bad they're so good.
Knack wasn't one of those. It was bad in a way that makes me really sad.

Well, planning game mechanics out does take time. And each new mechanic increases the amount of testing and design work significantly. A simple beat-em-up without as few moves as possible seems like it's a great design to get something out the door quick.The character design also seems like a graphical "showpiece" for new hardware that could be done very quickly (look at ALL THESE PARTICALS) and with enough artists and a lack of interactivity level assets can be made very quickly.

That said, you're probably right.

 

[Always-honest]

Why did they never release a demo?

 

[NastyBook]

Of course.

Are you trying to convince me to purchase this digitally? Because it's working.

Also, LOL.

 

[hwy_61]

lol

 

[Naughty_Doge]

Amen.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

What is that?

NaCl

 

[halfbeast]

next gen? more like Knack's gen! amirite?

Spoiler

I got nothing.

 

[Rajang]

So many people got knacked in this thread.

 

[GYNGA]

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Perfect.

 

[krae_man]

Good thing it's not true.

Anyway, Knack is way better than the metacritic. I don't know why reviewers went against this title as much as they did. A solid 7.5/10 game.

They had to play it in one sitting during the PS4 launch event and didn't have access to the friends list functionality.

 

[Acquiescence]

I'm thankful for Knack. Not because I played the game and enjoyed it (I haven't and I doubt I ever will), but because were it not for Cerny's beady-eyed, jagged-ass mascot, this glorious thread would not exist.

This thread is fucking hilarious.

 

[Floridian]

What is that?

Edit: It's snow apparently.

 

[Rajang]

Hahahahaha.

This will never get old.

 

[jackissocool]

I love Knack. I truly do. Fun game.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Well there's this thing called opinions...

Yes, there certainly are. Some people can like really simple games with repetitive combat mechanics and simplistic enemy/encounter design. That doesn't mean that the game doesn't have those flaws, it just means you don't care about them.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

What is that?

Salty Johns.

 

[grap3fruitman]

I'm in as soon as it's $5 new.

 

[Zaventem]

Knack might be shit but this thread is great.

 

[Naughty_Doge]

Glorious.

 

[Coffee Dog]

I'm in as soon as it's $5 new.

It really isn't even worth that.

I'm not joking when I say that you'll have a better time with nearly every LEGO game released in the past few years.

 

[Atlas157]

Yes, there certainly are. Some people can like really simple games with repetitive combat mechanics and simplistic enemy/encounter design. That doesn't mean that the game doesn't have those flaws, it just means you don't care about them.

You have to respect the fact that people like Knack. If you don't like it then deal with it.

If you want to shit on the game go make a thread for it. This thread isn't meant for that garbage.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

okay this is great

Of course.

dawg you silly mofo

 

[zroid]

Knack dancing during the credits was the only good thing about this game

It's like the video game version of stockholm syndrome
