I don’t understand the Knack meme. We should probably just get rid of it

There is no meme, other than people saying they ironically like it. And worst games than Knack come out. I'll take Knack any day over any lootcrate driven online shooter.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I guess you could say people are getting quite... knackered.

Yeah its ridiculous how they made this huge detailed city that they actively disincentivize you from driving in (messing up in traffic deducts from your score) and nothing to do. i think its the most superfluous open world in all of games.

Having thought on this a bit more last night - I set a custom marker for one of the cool Hidden Vehicles way at the NW corner of the map. Then I got in and drove myself to the crime scene (back Downtown since I'm on the Murder desk still). I didn't stop at EVERY red light but I didn't drive like a maniac. It took me 20 minutes to get back Downtown.

And you know what? It was awesome! It might be the most versimilitudinous game ever - sure you can't go into every building or diner (though you can actually go into a bunch of places that have no story purpose) but would you do that if you were actually a detective anyway?

The Wikipedia description makes it sound fascinating. Apparently animals can talk like the toys in Toy Story but they have an unspoken pact not to until non-conformist bee Jerry Seinfeld falls in love with a human woman who he dates and serenades but then he successfully sues the entirety of humanity because they violently steal bee honey but without a demand for honey bees are out of a job and all the flowers in the world die so humans and bees have to put their differences aside to acquire "bee certified" honey.

A grand strategy series. Sort of Nobunaga’s Ambition for Gundam.

Never came outside of Japan and it’s frustrating that the popular Gundam games are pew pew giant robots but I like the series because it can also do smart war stories and the series’ huge lore works well in a strategy game setting.

Giant robot fighting is cool don’t get me wrong but also the refugees we’re carrying are staging a mutiny because they want to die on earth not in a tin can forced into combat, do we jeopardize the mission and detour or toss these elderly civilians in the brig?
