Knack

Re: Knack

If this wasn't answered yet you are correct. There's no online coop. Shame really. If games like this and Lego Marvel had online coop they'd be higher up on my Day 1 Games to play list.

That's what I feared when all the previews said co-op was a great excuse to get a second controller.

A buddy and I were going to get this as a nice of change of pace co-op game. But no online kills that since he lives 1,500 miles away.

Re: Knack

Seeing scores being low for several other games as well and never really being into AC should I hold onto this?

Re: Knack

I saw a lot of reviews yesterday and was glad I didn't buy this. Can't believe how bad it tanked.

I saw the gameplay videos and decided to pass, hunch was right.

Re: Knack

I still want to play this and I'll take their complaints with a grain of salt when they still award COD: Ghosts and BF4 highly when they have the same issues.

Re: Knack

I still want to play it too. It doesn't look all that bad to me in the Giant Bomb Quick Look. They don't outright dismiss it, just sound indifferent towards it.

Re: Knack

I bought it and I'm playing it. Forget those reviews. It might not be super mario brothers bit who's expecting that anyway



Galaxy Note 2

Re: Knack

I guess I was expecting that game to be something similar to my first game on the PS3, Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction. That game was amazing and really shined in what was next-gen then. After looking at the reviews and the videos, this game didn't appear to have that affect. I'm sure I'll play it eventually, but it isn't going to be a launch game for me. I want my PS4 launch game to blow me away like Ratchet did on the PS3.

Re: Knack

I honestly don't think most of these games will blow us away seeing as though most are ports.

The good ones got pushed back so good things to come

Re: Knack

I'm having fun with this game. I picked it up because my fiancee isn't much of a gamer, but she enjoyed the demo in the store and it gave me a perfect reason to get a second controller as we can try co-op.

She's off at work and we still haven't had the oppotunity to play it together... but even the single player is fun for me.

Also, the game is simply gorgeous. I know the art direction/style may not be for everyone, but I'm pleasantly surprised considering how bad this game got knocked. All I can say is I've been having fun taking it for what it is while enjoying the beautiful visuals it has.

Re: Knack

I got this to play with my 5 year old daughter who is new to gaming. We tried it out today and I think it's perfect for beginners. The co-op mode is perfect in how they can contribute, but if they die they're right back in with no penalty. My daughter had a lot of fun with it.

Re: Knack

So can anyone else weigh in on this title? I have it, unopened with the ability to exchange it (part of the buy 2 get 1 deal release week) but no other PS4 titles that jump out at me. Perhaps Lego Marvel would be a better bet.....however that game would seem to lack and Next Gen "pop". I do have a 12 year old daughter who I originally was going to play this with, but she is having a blast with Little Big Planet 2 right now....which....seems to be a much more difficult game than Knack.....at least on the surface.

Any reason to hold onto this title?

Re: Knack

Im going to get into it a little today after I eat since I haven't opened it yet and will weigh in. Anything you want to know?

Really just wondering if anyone is having fun with it. The reviews have been weak and even when adjusting for the kind if game it is, it still doesn't seem to meet those lower standards.

I know in the past I have been okay with more kid like games that I play with my kid. But even based on this criteria it seems reviewers think it misses the mark.

I'm not into first person shooters and not really into fighters, so bf4, ghosts and injustice don't seem like better options.

I have considered getting NCAA 14 as a trade, but fear I won't really get into football on previous gen platform now that madden has upped the ante.

So any new input would be nice.

Thanks.

Re: Knack

I've enjoyed it, and Mel loved it (it's actually the first game she's ever beaten.)

It's difficult, especially when played on hard. Not necessarily the controls and such, but you will die when playing it.
