If you want a console with lots of well rated titles for Christmas this year, you have to get the Wii U. But no one will.

No one cares about the Wii U and that's a bummer for Nintendo because they had everything placed right to dominate this Christmas in terms of having good solid system selling titles, but the press and the reception of the Wii U has probably made that impossible.

So everyone will get xboxes and ps4s and people will complain they have no game selection on them. Uh yeah? Its fucking November and they're launching, you think on December 25th of 2013 there's going to be shit on them to play?

Next year will be badass though.

Right after I called bullshit on it

If I was Sony I would love to have someone that did my PR work for me for free. What a sheep
Uh, no. You did not call bullshit on it. I posted all of the GT reviews together. Seriously, you're really slow on the uptake today.

A 7.0 is fine for a shooter. Call of Duty got basically the same score in a lot of places. Knack was never expected by anyone to be anything above mediocre at best. I feel like a record repeating this over and over. No one "bought" knack because they expected it to be the next Grand Theft Auto. There weren't a lot of choices for non sporting gamers in the buy 2 get 1 deals. Knack is fine for free.

I never expect launch titles to be above shit. I've been doing this for a long time now and I've yet to see launch titles be worth snuff. PS2 and PS3 and the Xbox all had shitty launch titles (no, I never cared about Halo and still don't. Its probably my least favorite shooter of them all actually)

The system is a long term investment over several years. Its not worth buying right out of the gate unless you are an enthusiast. It never is. There's nothing to regret because most of us buying in are going to buy a ps4 or an xbone no matter what. Its happening so might as well happen now.

My Wii U sat on my table unplayed for a solid 6 months before I had ANYTHING but Monster Hunter on it. My ps3 was used to play Persona 3 and 4 and metal gear solid 2 and 3 and GTA San Andreas over and over during the first year, year and a half I had it.

This is nothing new to enthusiasts. Launch is just an excuse to buy something you're going to buy anyway. I had zero expectations out of ANY of the launch titles because I didn't think Killzone 2 was all that impressive, didn't expect knack to be anything except maybe a glorified tech demo that might appeal to kids and had no intent to buy AC4 in the first place and have already gotten my monies' worth out of it and it has exceeded all expectations.

I'm just completely don't give a shit whether these first titles out the door are any good or not mode. Never did. Its irrelevant. They're just an excuse to plug the thing up. I preordered the console without preordering ANY games for it and its only been in the past 2 weeks with the buy 2 get 1 free deals that I've even given a shit enough to actually buy any games for the thing. My original plan was to buy it, and then probably not even plug it up till the semester was over.
Now, this I can agree with. Another good post.

AC4 is a decent enough launch title if you didn't own it already on another system. Resogun looks to be getting good reviews.

The PlayStation 4: The Kotaku Review (In Progress)

Kotaku telling people to hold off on buying the console. Lack of any decent launch titles, the launch titles it comes with suck, and out of five systems they have already had one defect.

Also, quote of the day from kotaku. Paging foggy.
Oh noes some idiot on Kotaku has as shitty eyes as you, I better cancel my PS4 and return the three games asap.

I don't understand the holdoff sentiment. Great you wait 6 months to a year and still pay $400... gratz?

Is there a point to all this Utnayan, beyond making yourself the most useless poster in the Other Games forum?

Didn't expect many launch titles to blow people away, but surprised at how poorly Knack is doing.

Ready for Friday w/ NBA2k14, Killzone, AC4 and will be buying Madden digitally.

Probably snag Ryse and Forza (or NFS Rivals depending on reviews) next week, and Skylanders on BF ($38 at Walmart for the starter kit... but do I really wanna deal with that place on BF... ugh) for one of the two.

There hasn't been good launch titles since the SNES basically. I mean there's sometimes decent games, like PS1 had a few ok games but yeah mostly it's shit games.

I just posted the entire listing of every review out there. So there you go. Holy fuck, you need to get your head out of your ass. You don't need to go on some idiotic attack spree over something you imagined that I did. Dial your idiocy down a notch.

I *never* ever cover up shit about games, ever. I post every little detail about them. So stop trying to make up bullshit to fit your little agenda. The crap you do is getting old.

You are so absolutely full of shit. You are biggest Sony fanboy on these boards and now you are denying it now?? haha

everyone is talking shit about Knack.

So your first review is a 8.25??

In which I immediately call bullshit,and then you posted the 5.0

BAAAAAA

Also I post Gametrailers stuff because regardless of score, their videos show off a game well and you can get more information there than you can just in a written review.

Knacks very negative shortcomings were on full display there more than any piece of writing could describe to you.

GI was the first site I happened to load up. There's absolutely nothing to it beyond that. You have a serious inability to think logically and you're an idiot if you think I'm a fanboy to anyone. I just always bet on the best horse. I was called the biggest X360 fanboy on the boards before this and I was the biggest PS2 fanboy before that. Your labels are fucking meaningless and all that shit is entirely in your head in whatever little fairy tale make believe land you live in to make up for your lack of IQ.

Are you for real? Do you really have nothing better to do?

GT gave Knack a 5.0. Do you even know what you are attempting to argue at this point?
