Way to contradict yourself. You say it's the only game on Wii U that's not a rehash of another game then say it felt like a rehash of SM3DL. Anyways I'm glad that what game sells more in the UK doesn't affect your purchasing too greatly

:/ I was saying that some may feel it's a rehash of SM3DL by the look of it but from what I played it didn't feel like it. I don't think you read it properly.


Oops, read it again and realised my mistake. It's 2am here in Australia so I guess I can use that as an excuse

No worries, I know exactly how that feels

Ah well, maybe I'll get Knack 2 when it's released so I won't feel like I've lost anything Surely it'll be as decent as Knack!

No worries, I bet Knack will be one of the first, 1st party games to hit PS+ if we're not counting the stripped down version of DriveClub



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

I recently bought Far Cry 3 instead of Dead Rising 2.

Should I put that here or does it need its own thread?


IT NEEDS ITS OWN THREAD! On a serious note, I only made this thread as a reference that just because a game is selling better than another game, it shouldn't affect what kind of game you buy. Unfortuantely, a lot of people missed the point. I probably wasn't as clear as I needed to be.

I was being more tongue-in-cheek than critical.

Though "buy the game you want to play the most" does seem like the most obvious thing in the world to me.  Most of the Knack vs. Mario threads aren't saying Knack is a better game, just noting a surprising turn of events--and it is note-worthy, just as a Nintendo Bayonetta game out-selling a God of War game would be.  There would be a million threads about that, were it to happen, and everyone knows it.

No one should ever buy a game simply because it sold the most.  Of course, that happens all the time, and franchises like Mario (and Halo, God of War, etc.) are usually the ones that reap the benefits.

D'oh missed that lol definitely agree with your final paragraph.

I also think I didn't explain myself clearly. I think everyone (or most) can agree SM3DW is better than Knack and that Knack surprised everyone in terms of sales in the UK. I was just using that information and playing around with the whole thing.I was also establishing the fact that I am a Sony fan but the games I play don't neccessarily need to be on my console of choice.

Don't listen to the haters that haven't even played it. Don't even listen to the haters who have played it.

Knack is a great game. SM3DW is better by just a bit though. It's like

GOTY
SM3DW>Knack>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TLOU

You only tell me this now?? Why did I give TLOU my 2013 GOTY status -_-

Oh well, 2014 is a new year, I'll need your expert advice the next time I select my GOTY.

So you don't think SM3DW is the Wii U savior, eh? Looks like you've run out of places to turn to.
