Where did this "Mario killer" meme even come from? Knack is fucking gutter trash. It amazes me someone somewhere thought it deserved a sequel of all things.

bros... how could this happen...

>>389353264
How could this happen to KNACK 2 BAYBEEEEEEE?

So it's better than gooka maymay?

>>389353264
damn, i actually thought it would be a lot better than the original. why even make a sequel if its barely better than original? did knack 1 even sell well?

Who ever said it was a mario killer?

Why do sonyyggers even exist?

n-no... no
NO

it was meant to DESTROY nintendo, not ourselves!

I wish the 3D platformer meme just disappeared, Mario 64 was a mistake

>>389353264
Btw, how is 70 score bad?

I know that /v/ermin is pretty extreme, but 70 basically that the game is just ok, not shit but not great either

i thought the whole Knack 2 being an actual thing was just a meme

HZD came out ages ago and Destiny 2 is a loot grindfest.

>>389354590

You're telling me that you can't think of any games released in the last 35 years that are both cheaper and better than Knack 2? What a stupid question

lol 80-84 is an A-, 85-89 is an A, and 90+ is an A+ here

Sometimes you don't want to wait. Sometimes you just want to play a certain type of game.
If you have a job buying some games at launch isn't an issue.

I'm talking playing some older game you've interested in for a while but haven't got round to playing which will definitely be cheaper instead of buying some mediocre new game for full price

Because I'm in the mood for a 3d platformer and reviewers say that the gameplay is good?

>I'm talking playing some older game you've interested in for a while but haven't got round to playing

I can't think of a single one. I have a backlog yes, but the reason I have one is because I'm not always in the mood to play those games.
I don't just play games to cross off a checklist, I play what I want to play. I'm especially not in the mood for anything grindy or with randomized loot in it. Nor something that focuses more on quantity over quality.

For example, I almost have to force myself to play through Shadow Warrior 2 at the moment.

>>389356485

A 70 on metacritic is fucking terrible when you realize that most retail game releases get around an 85 average, even if the games are actually bad. Games typical,y don't get a red score unless it's broken and unplayable.

that means it's several times better than knack
maybe they'll have a good game by knack 4

No, it's not. Anything below a 90 is not an A. I don't know where you got that chart but it's not true for American grade scaling.

A- is 90-93
A is 94-96
A+ is 97-100

Anything in the 80's out of 100 is B- to B+ territory in America.
