IGN: Knights Contract Review

Knights Contract is a miserable game that IGN hopes you do not have the misfortune to play. It completely blows up a cool premise with maddeningly stupid AI (a death sentence in a game that’s a glorified escort mission), a terrible camera that enables its unfair (and un-fun) instant kills, and a boss battle formula that should have never made past the first month of development. If you manage to run the gauntlet and make it to the end of Knights Contract, you will have undoubtedly let loose a string of paint-peeling curse words not only at the screen, but also at your wallet, which is now sixty bucks lighter with nothing remotely fun to show for it.

you are really comparing god hand to this piece of crap? The game is bad just watch any gameplay vid to see that.

CaptainGreece4816d ago (Edited 4816d ago )

Not comparing just making a point how IGN is unreliable and how they are fake gamers. I don't care what they gave Uncharted 2 there God Hand review was so insulting and despicable to Platinum they worked dam hard to make that game.

@Chaos Striker i have a girlfriend so i automatically win :)

You want to trust them for gaming that is fine just saying i wont FatOldbitch i mean man :)

@despair You know what you are right maybe i was too hard on IGN. Just seeing that score gave me a flashback.

despair4816d ago

Unreliable? In what way? I see reviews that sometimes I agree with and sometimes disagree with from a variety of reviewers. You pointed out 1 game that was reviewed a long time ago by someone who isn't even at IGN anymore, other than they giving games you like a score you don't agree(or vice versa) with what else shows unreliability?

Oh and for the record there are many times I don't agree with IGN reviews or Point of view but that does not mean I would call the website unreliable or their reviewers "fake gamers".

Ducky4816d ago

So... IGN reviews a game in 2011, and you bring up a game from 2006~2007 just to bring up the point that they can't be trusted in their reviews?

Way to be relevant dude.

Darkfocus4816d ago

it's an opinion as all reviews are, no one should rely on a single review to decide anything..by the way godhand does have terrible music...imo

GrandTheftZamboni4816d ago (Edited 4816d ago )

I have a feeling I'll love this game. The trailer reminds me of Folklore and Days of the Blade which I both loved (even with bad camera works for the latter). After buying into GTA IV hype, I trust studios' names and trailers more than reviews.

Wow, I knew it wasnt gona be good, but damn.

What is wrong with you Namco Bandai?

Infernostew4816d ago

What's wrong is they're choosing to waste their money on garbage games like these instead of bring over all the tales of games.

the_kutaragi_baka4816d ago

people will never learn that reviews of ign are useless.

Chaos Striker4816d ago

So I must assume that you have already played the game. What score did you give it? Seriously, criticize someone when you actually have some EVIDENCE to support your claim.

Quagmire4816d ago

What people dont seem to understand is that while many dont agree with their scores, its their criticisms which you have to look into.

CaptainGreece4816d ago

Don't listen to IGN they gave a game like this a 3 they are spawns of Satan.

Chaos Striker4816d ago

Right. IGN sucks, they gave Uncharted 2 a 9.5. They gave inFamous a 9.0. They gave Metal Gear Solid a 10/10. I should not listen to them because their reviews suck. Get a life.

Sticking with current-gen? Here are six you may have missed

GamesAsylum: "If you’re remaining loyal to your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 for a while longer yet, you may be looking for something “new” to play. If that’s not the case now, then it may be in the not too distant future – a quick look at April’s release schedule reveals that there’s very little out.

We’ve taken this fleeting chance to round-up six games you may have missed. And if you have played all of these, then you sir have very fine taste"

yea im still using my 360 and didn't buy a nest gen , ive tried some next gen games but none was too wow to make me buy a console (titanfall will be released on 360 and that was the only game that made me want to buy a next gen)
so to the end of 14 the price would be cheaper and the games would be better :D

DeadRabbits3688d ago

Just bought Bully and Manhunt for my PS3! I will keep going back to my PS3 like an French Mistress whenever my urges take hold!

Horny3688d ago

My buddies and I were just talking about Bully. I hope Rockstar makes another one. Manhunt as well.

dazzrazz3688d ago

Current ? More like last 0_o

ShaunCameron3688d ago

So far I only bought one new game for either 7th-gen console this year. And that was Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z for the 360.

jetlian3687d ago

I got yaiba , fable ann, castlev,ng3 re,mgs5, bio in,killer is dead all this year

BattleN3688d ago

untill they stop supporting 360 I will continue using it!

ShaunCameron3687d ago

I''ll continue using my XBox 360 for multimedia purposes in between whatever games grace it from here on end.

I agree. I played the Bodycount demo and it was the worst FPS I've ever played. I didn't know shooting a gun in iron sights made the screen look as if a earthquake was occuring. LOL. Very disorientating. Duke Nukem Forever and Dungeon Siege III - I love both so I obviously wouldn't put them on the list. The others don't look interesting to begin with so I never gave them anytime.

Tody_ZA4519d ago

Yeah, reactions to Duke Nukem Forever were heavily divided, but in the end the Most Disappointing and Worst Game Awards are very subjective in nature :)

Bodycount was really, really bad, I mean like, everything about it :P Dungeon Siege 3, as we said, wasn't really horrific, we just grew bored of it much too quickly and it just wasn't any fun.

ShaunCameron4519d ago

I actually thought of buying Knights Contract, but when I saw the gameplay having to get the main character back on his feet if he took too many hits and watching how the AI co-op partner could never seem to stay out of harm's way causing a GAME OVER if she dies, I said it wasn't for me.

Tody_ZA4519d ago (Edited 4519d ago )

It was a game where the ideas were great, and the premise and story were really interesting, but everything fell flat as far as gameplay was concerned.

And your partner really seemed to always contradict her desire to live a nice long life, the way she couldn't stay out of harm's way. You can imagine the frustration involved when you're trying to feel bad-ass pulling your broken bones and limbs back together but she's off busy trying to block swords with her boobs \:D?

I wish it had been a CGI movie. It could have been really cool.

ACE: Knight's Contract Review

ACE: It may be difficult to believe, but Knight's Contract is a game so average and that I forgot I was reviewing it.

A good game will spur me on to finish as quickly as possible. A bad game will hold my interest if only to see how bad it gets. Knight's Contract is neither.
