Why I feel Knack and Ryse: Son of Rome are best launch titles.

Both are great concepts that lack polish.

That said, Ryse gets points for its graphics, story and bad-assery. That is something metacritic won't tell you.

Reviewers always take graphics and story into account when rating a game, so I'm not really sure what you mean here

Fair enough. I am saying that while their metas are near identical, most core gamers you approach would prefer Ryse due to those points I mentioned.

That said, that is just my take and hope this doesn't escalate (that goes for others who read this!). These are the flops of our launches people......no need to get defensive here (not you celador but prospective fans).

I haven't played either of them but Ryse seems like the better game from the videos and reviews I have watched and read, so I agree with you there.  I just wondered why you picked that one out as a game where Metacritic doesn't tell the whole story, when really it very rarely, if ever, does.

But that's Metacritics problem, not yours or mine
