It's much much much less of an issue than it ever was in the series, on the 360 version of Black Flag at least. AC3 was really jarring to me but Black Flag is one of the best performing open world games on the 360 by far, very rarely did I notice a drop down to the low 20's (mainly due to the design of the game as most of your time isn't spent in gigantic cities).
I usually avoid multiplatform PS3 titles as they range from slightly worse running to fairly worse running lately.
Knack outsold Super Mario 3D World
Quality means nothing. We are doomed to an endless sea of insanely profitable mediocrity from here until the end of time.
What are you trying to tell me facebook?
I like that you're following the sloth appreciation page too.

Same lol
(although I'll buy this once it hits $30 so the boy and I can play it once he hits that perfect Nintendo age range before he discards the WiiU)

A hell of a lot of people are more interested in Knack than another MP Mario game.
People are itching to validate their recent console purchase.
Edit: Check steam.
I'm with omi here, if Knack hadn't been the launch day family title I don't think it would've done as well.

Variety of factors in play here
Launch title
Nostalgic take on PSOne style game
Bright, colourful with impressive character effects
Stronger than expected marketing message
Playable at every demo unit before/during launch
Bundled with console at some retailers (like Mario Bros or Wii Sports back in the day!)
No competition on the platform
Other family friend games are on platforms no one gives a shit about
New IP intrigues the consumer

3DS vs Vita suggests it's still software that sells hardware
Wii U is just unsellable hardware regardless of the software.

Having demo units doesn't mean it's fun to play.
The greatest gaming news the Wii U could hope for.
So uh has anyone here actually got their Good Guys games? Any of them?

Nope. They were still sourcing stock at the end of last week iirc

Being the only PS4 game available to demo before launch does help its sales thoughHaving demo units doesn't mean it's fun to play.

I don't understand why people me are giving Knack a hard time. Maybe it's one of those games that's boring to watch but fun to play like dotas
Man it's really a damned if you do damned if you don't deal with you isn't it
I hope your 3ds melts into a million bits of shrapnel on the floor and you are shoeless!
Its 55 on metacritic indicates that is unlikely.
That's our Markot! *audience laughter*
It is curious that the podcasts I hear are all mostly positive about yet its trashed on reviews.

I didn't mind what I played of Knack on a demo unit at Dick Smith's but it definitely felt like something you'd buy because you need a game to go with your new system rather than something you'd get specifically on its own merits.
Stop listening to them and start listening to me.
That's just what Hitler said.
Markot was just markotted.
Are you sure? Every movie I've seen of Hitler has him speaking English in a German accent. Movies don't lie.
That... is actually a pretty short list for a steam sale!
My damage:
AOEII HD
Poker Night 2
CS:GO
Gone Home
Rogue Legacy
Sleeping Dogs DLC
Gifts Received:
Don't Starve
Gifts Given:
AOEII HD x 3

I picked up Skyrim. That is all. The only other one I thought about getting was The Wolf Among Us.
Something something buy Assault Android Cactus something something.
OK well I guess I'll keep waiting for my Kid Icarus and whatever else I got from Good Guys. If I get that $40 voucher maybe I can use it to get Zelda or finally get Luigi before his year is over. I'm hoping next year is the year of Cranky Kong.

I thought Good Guys were liquidating their game stock? They're gonna keep selling them?
What were they thinking with that sale then? lol

1 arrived today and Luigi U is apparently enroute. I have another 2 games on order that I've heard nothing about though.
Android Cactus is pretty good!!

I haven't liked any politician's pages though... and what has that got to do with sloths?!
I heard that knack was surprisingly good but was marketed incredibly poorly. I don't think I'll pick it up but if some time down the track I get a PS4 and it's free for the month I'll give it a go.
I got uncharted. Still waiting on the other three though. I feel a bit bad for them honestly
