All hail Knack

Fun fact: contrary to popular belief, it's actually pronounced "k-nack"

Source, please? Anyway, if that's true, it seems everybody in Russia and German were pronouncing it right, with a distinctive [k]. And now I feel sorry and stupid for mocking people for this.
 
Ah, how nice of all the communist satan worshippers on NeoGAF to gather in one place out in the open like this. Convenient.
 
Knack sold more than Forza Horizon 2 and Sunset Overdrive, so clearly it is the superior game. Anyone that disagrees needs to get their head checked.

I still need to play the full game. I tried the demo on Hard before the PS4 released in front of a few Sony guys and they thought it was funny how fucking pissed off I was at the bullshit checkpoints.

If the game is too hard for you, try it on a simpler difficulty setting :p
 
The local co-op was fun for a few hours, but then quickly became boring as hell and felt like a chore. I can only see the same damn rooms copy and pasted for so long...
 
It was ok. Bit too long. Not enough likable characters for a mascot platformer. A solid launch title. Co-op was a bit busted, but better than nothing.

lmao, this is great
 
Knack was tough. I loved the game but it was brutal on my anger... Then I beat the game and thought cool I played it on the hardest difficulty so it shouldn't be hard to plat. What. The. Fuck....another difficulty level...shit... I'm waiting on the Plus version for another run at it. :)

Wait people actually like this game?

Its a bland repetitive game made for children. Mark Cerny did a pretty bad job with with this game

Everyone always says to think of the children, and when someone finally does, it's all of a sudden a bad thing? Why I never.

Please read these quotes.

You can be childlike without being childish. A child always wants to have fun. Ask yourself, 'Am I having fun?' - Christopher Meloni

I do have a childlike enthusiasm at times. I certainly enjoy life and get pleasure sometimes in childish things. - Brian Baumgartner

When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. - C.S. Lewis

If it seems a childish thing to do, do it in remembrance that you are a child. - Frederick Buechner

If you smell what The Rock is cooking. - The Rock
 
This game must be really something special when all you need to do to defend it is post annoying gifs and memes.

Knack fans are like the Gaming side equivalent of PopGAF.
 
Having not played it, does the game have anything cool about its mechanics or is it just string-of-pearls level design with hack-n-slash combat like the GB quicklook made it look? Maybe it gets better later on?

nope . Knack becomes more dumber and grows into a big ugly monster with a deep ass unfitting voice.

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.

No it outsold it for several months. Knack was longer than Mario in the top charts in the UK.

Yes, because as in a fuckton of place Knack was bundled with the PS4, a very successful console.

I played it recently and thought it was alright, not too bad. Pretending it outsold Super fucking Mario or that it would have any merit doing so even for shits and giggles makes absolutely no sense.

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

I haven't played it in quite some time (sold it back when Gamestop was offering $40, anticipating that I'd see it again for cheap or on PS+ eventually) so I'm a bit fuzzy on the specifics, but I guess I just liked the fact that it had simple gameplay with the kind of graphics and polish you only get from games with a decent budget. Plus there was a lot of challenge in the combat, even with Knack's limited moveset.

Sweet, thanks. I'll try to check it out at some point.

I don't want to let Russians or Germans down, so perhaps I was serious and it's pronounced like Austin's premiere indie radio station:

After all, Mark Cerny does moonlight as a lawyer in Austin.
