So it's in line with the rest of the Knack franchise

Knack 1 sure, Knack 2 on very hard with the combat improvements and solid platforming. Not so much

Some guy who cosplayed as knack stepped on my shoes at E3 so I hate it.

Im glad to know Knack 2 has a chance to be Dunkey's 2017 GOTY

Mastahpieeece

 

[Jawbreaker]

That video made me come away with the impression that he didn't actually play Knack 2. I'm not saying he didn't, but that was incredibly low effort, and it said nothing about the game other than it has QTEs (which have really generous timings, thus making them rather inoffensive).

 

[Complicated]

That was perfectly appropriate for Knack 2. Well done.

I saw a video of someone missing one and having to do an entire sequence all ovet again. That sounds like the worst

Yeah. This video feels like "people expect me to make a Knack 2 video, so I will - but I don't want to play Knack 2". It's disappointing, I was actually sort of looking forward to this and then it's just... he doesn't really sound like he's having fun talking about Knack or joking about Knack 2. I kinda wanted to hear a serious Dunkview for once just because of his history with Knack, and then he just talked about Knack 1 for 90% of the video and then reused his "Knack is a masterpiece" jokes when he got to the actual Knack 2 portion of the video. Feels like something he slapped together really quickly and uploaded as soon as it was sort of watchable, just to have it out there because it was expected.

 

[Twilight Princess]

Maybe its an improvement over 1, but 0 * 1.5 is still 0.

 

[HammerFace]

That was incredibly lame. Actually expected more out of the video.

 

[Astral]

I enjoyed it, but I have a hate boner for Knack so maybe that's why. He really does have a hideous design.

 

[HowZatOZ]

What a terrible video. Over half of it was Knack 1 and he barely said anything else about 2 than "Oh it has boring QTEs"

That's the joke. It is Knack 1 but "prettier" in a really not-so-pretty way. Why people are getting upset at his review is a bit perplexing to me, Dunkey is a character that reviews games differently to your typical form. Sometimes he's serious, sometimes he's not. If you were wanting a super serious review then Dunkey is not that serious.

Your definition of platforming interests me. I mean, Knack 2 definitely has some platforming be it the camera shifting to make it feel like you are but it doesn't seem to convey solid platforming like say Mario or Sonic.

No it's not mario or sonic levels but it breaks up the fighting enough that it strikes a fun balance. Mario I would consider excellent or best in class platforming not solid xD

You just need to wait for a Knack 3 so he will review Knack 2...

It's not a good or entertaining joke. That's the issue. He literally says nothing about the game.

 

[Anonymous Tipster]

It's almost as if he decided to subvert those expectations for the sake of comedy instead of playing it totally straight.

Dunkey is playing some sort of meta-level game here then. He made a terrible video because people were expecting it to be good. That'll show 'em.

If only. He was building up to this joke for so long and the video doesn't work in any form, even meta humor.

 

[PK Gaming]

dunkey being a general asshole = fine
dunkey making a bunch of unfounded statements directed towards reviewers = fine
dunkey calling bayonetta a whore = MOTHERFUCKER YOU CROSSED THE LINE

 

[Battlechili]

I found his complaints about game reviewers pretty spot on. Some of which were a result of what they are (like complaining that there's a lack of consistency on game review sites, which is pretty much due to them being review sites run by multiple people), but even then, it wasn't any less a problem that comes from such sites.

What is this game, lol. Is it actually called "Battle Beasts"?

This is exactly how I feel about the Metroid games (not Metroidvania's on a whole) before I played Samus Returns.

[Exotoro]

The video game critic shit hes trying to do is so dry, dull, and really has like one thing to say... if he's gonna do that he could at least be something that isnt so basic. Really not enjoying the shift he's taking. His last overwatch video was pretty dull too.

 

[Khezu]

Yes, I wish he would stop playing Overwatch, terrible game, and not fun to watch.

Needs to go back to weird shit.

It's interesting to see how they are behind the scenes. They seem to be charming people and Jason is (to the surprise of no-one) a funny guy.
