Best in the Series (kind of )1=2=CiT (for different reasons each)
i agree you have good taste OP
this is also great game
>>320910668
Everyone loves it, though.
great game until it bugs for you
>shooting your pistol in the area has a chance to corrupt your HDD
IF ONLY I KNEW
There feels like there was so many of these games, I have fond though fragmented memories of all of them. I saw a friend play the first one and that looked boring but the rest of them were great, fun worlds and crazy guns.
I never thought the dialogue was funny or anything more than quirky in a lame way but still good fucking games.
How is it underrated?
It's regarded as good-great by almost all the Ratchet and Clank fanbase, was massively critically acclaimed and sold pretty well.
It's a fantastic game but not at all some kind of hidden gem.
This is now a Ratchet and Clank thread. Post favourite

It's the best in the series.
>>320910668
Please. I haven't met anyone who really dislikes A Crack in Time.
You're always gonna have people talking up the original trilogy, but A Crack in Time is a respected game, overall.
If you want a real underrated game, let's talk about Tools of Destruction.
>>320913710
That was really fucking good, but I don't really remember its plot besides Talwyn appearing. I rememeber Quest for Booty even more than I do ToD. I'll have to replay it.
>>320911204
Man, I appreciate the first for several reasons, but I can't get over the lack of strafing for most of the game. Really bugs me to no end.
Resonance of Fate
>>320914781
This desu, it's really good.
>>320913710
Tools and Crack were both good. I was majorly disapointed with Nexus. It had an interesting idea but needed the plot and budget for a full game.
>>320915187
I'm going to be disappointed if they don't follow up with the ending.
>>320914781
Resonance of Fate is a really neat game, but to be honest I couldn't get into it.
The story feels so... disjointed. And the combat got cumbersome eventually.
>>320912084
Since when? I've used every weapon in the arena and never had a problem
>>320910668
Hands down, the very fucking best Clank puzzles. Especially the optional ones at the end for Gold Bolts. Shit was insane and super rewarding when it all *clicked*.

Hoping they don't fuck up.
>>320910668
Never played it. Were the weapons any good? At some point, I felt like the series was getting too formulaic with its weapons. Especially Tools of Destruction. You have your blaster, your bomb glove, a machine gun, a shotgun type, a saw blade gun, a flamethrower, and some beam sniper. I remember thinking that the coolest weapons in ToD were the Razor Claws but they kind of sucked overall because they couldn't stun anything and they didn't do very much damage until charged to red.
>>320916171
I will never understand why people think GC is the best R/C game when UYA, ToD, and ACiT exist.
>le chosen one ancient elder robot god figures plot
Fucking shit desu.
Apart from that it was alright.
>>320916372
>were the Razor Claws but they kind of sucked overall because they couldn't stun anything and they didn't do very much damage until charged to red.
Someone didn't use the Magnet Launcher to keep them in place and then go beast on the stunned enemies. ToD is a really good game, it has one of my favorite upgrade systems with the raritanium.
>>320916369
Sorry forgot weapons:
Dual vipers and fusion rifle.
>>320916375
Because GC had lots of great original assets and a preferable aesthetic. UYA reused lots of stuff (eg music), and I dislike post-ToD due to bad weapons and meme weapons. RaC 1-4 are all great though.
>>320916973
>1
>Great
I've seen milk age better than 1.
>>320916973
RC1 is really bad compared to later games.
>>320917128
>>320917180
The ONLY problem with 1 is the lack of strafing. Otherwise the game is literally perfect.
>>320916973
I honestly don't see how anyone could play both RC1 and CiT and say that RC1 is better.
CiT feels like the definitive Ratchet game to me. It fixes all my problems with the older games and its additions only add to the experience. Everything just feels so smooth and there's more to explore/do. But to each their own, I suppose.
>>320910668
Camera was shit tbqh faam.
>>320917914
The only good thing about CiT's story is nefarious though. At least in RC1 Ratchet gets actual development.
>>320917128
Kinda this. RC1's okay, but Going Commando was such a big step up from it and the series has mostly only improved since.
>>320917914
The graphics are definitely superb in CiT, and there is a lot to do, but I found it far more repetitive than any other R&C game. Enemy variety is virtually non-existent (compared to previous games), NPC variety if virtually non-existent other than le goofy *MEEP* aliens, and endless amounts of moons that feel the same every time with increased difficulty. The weapon ammo counts are also very annoying, eg. the main blaster having 60(?) ammo capacity at the start, compared to 150 in 1 and 2.
Size Matters was alright too to be fair
>>320917914
>It fixes all my problems with the older games and its additions only add to the experience.
I disagree regarding the 'additions'
Levels in ACIT are significantly more linear, there are rarely ever (if any) branching paths, there is hardly any exploring and almost all collectibles are just hidden behind a corner with a bolt trail blatantly leading you towards it.
Space overworlds and all the moons were really neat, but it was at a resource cost to the actual levels I'm still not convinced was worth it
It's still a solid game, one of the best, but it's below GC and UYA
>>320912084
I can't find anything on this, can you explain it?

New 'timeline'/possibly just an inaccurate retelling by qwark if the narration is anything to go by
Groovitron is a neat weapon though and they do at least change the music each game, not a fan of zurkon's attempts at humor
>>320924346
They're definitely going to have rhe game be a story that Qwaek told and have it take place in the original canon.
>>320912084
>shooting your pistol in the area has a chance to corrupt your HDD
This is an A bug and would have never ever been allowed to exist when the game launched.
Either you're making shit up, your HDD just happened to kill itself when you did that, or you're terribly unlucky.
>>320924646
But qwark being the one telling it means any of the differences to the original game are qwark's fault and it's not actually retconning anything
It's better than any R&C game.
Only literal faggots hate this game.
>>320912084
Now, this may not be true, but im currently replaying it, and now im kinda scared to use the pistol in the arena
>>320926005
I love Resistance
SSX on bikes

>>320926005
Thought the original was shit, even though the bong settings were novel, and I love War of The Worlds-type stuff set in the past, and I thought the sequel was as bad even though it received shitloads of praise, so I never bothered with R3 thinking it would be more the same bollocks.

The 30fps puts me off a bit. Will still get it though.

Aside from the dumb as fuck ending, I enjoyed this a lot more than previous PoP games.
>>320927625
Isn't the reboot 60fps? I could've sworn they said it was. I thought only A41 and ItN were 30.
![BFBB[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/rV78RM1.jpg "BFBB[1].jpg")
>>320926005
I love Resistance as wellalthough 2 is the ugly bastard child it still excels in certain areas.
3 felt like a great combination of classic FPS (non regenerating health, weapon wheel) mixed with modern FPS (aim down sights, the same control scheme as everything else etc...), it was something that hasn't really happened before. Wolfenstien TNO is like this as well.
I still prefer Fall of Man, as it's a similar hybrid of old and new, but leans heavier towards old with fast movement (but no sprint) and lots of strafing to avoid bullets, level design is also very old school FPS. Shame it's story was so obviously just something made up to fit the levels.
>>320929717
Not to mention it had a good balance on regen health with health pickups. You lose too much, you could be fucked unless you find a health pack. Honestly, I felt 2 was better paced and controlled better. Though I won't deny the full on regenerating health took away a lot of the stress the original game created
>>320922948
Kevin Miller was told about it ahead of time that he wouldn't be in it or he was never approached I can't Remember which one though. Check out the gamerland podcast were Kevin goes into detail about why he won't be in the movie. It's a shame though since the dude loves that role though.
>>320922585

>>320910668
deadlocked is the must underrated game
In the ratchet and clank series
Just going to leave this here
>>320916375
All 3 of the first 2 Ratchet games are the best in my opinion just because they have a better feel to them.
The overall design of things and story in general became too important in the PS3 games. The writing was better in the first 3 despite story being less important.
Not to mention they replaced the great memorable soundtracks the first 3 games had for generic orchestral bullshit.
>>320926005
It's a good game but just doesn't hold the same place as the R&C games do for me.
>>320911470
It's an incredible game but the gameplay made it impossible to fully enjoy
Do you think we'll get to see one day all the R&C games on_PC_?
>>320924707
Even if you don't believe it, it could happen.
ToD had save corruption problems and it was never patched.
>>320932939
>QFB
>optional
I'm fucking triggered
It has some of the best platforming sections out of any PS3 Ratchet
ITN is better than you're giving it credit for
you've got pretty pleb tier disregarding so many of them
>>320933297
No, it's Sony owned.
>>320933397
QFB is optional though, I thought it was boring as fuck.
>>320933397
QFB is like 3 hours long.
ITN runs at 30fps (Which is generous given the framefrops) and is like 6 hours long.
>>320928183
It's 30.
>>320933506
>QFB is like 3 hours long.
That says nothing about the quality of those 3 hours. Also plot wise it introduces the fact that nefarious is back, there's no valid reason to ignore it
>ITN runs at 30fps
But it has good GAMEPLAY
>and is like 6 hours long.
But it has good GAMEPLAY
>>320928183
30 with motion blur
I think its biggest problem was that it was too good. The only way you can top it is if you had the size of the planet maps from nexus. Everything else in crack in time was perfect.
>>320933613
>says nothing about the quality of those 3 hours
Those 3 hours are typical R&C affair. Maybe they're amazing if it's your first R&C game or something
>ITN
First off the awful framerate directly affects your buzzword "Gameplay". And secondly "Good" gameplay completely justifies its LITERAL "Good Tier" ranking on the power rankings. So thank you for agreeing with me.

>unironically calling gameplay a buzzword when you are using the length of a game as a metric for its quality
what a fucking faggot
I fucking hate CiT. All the graphics are blurry as fuck, the space sections are utter shit and the levels are even more dumbed down than the other Ratchet games.
>inb4 nostalgia
I wasn't a kid when the ps2 games came out- they were kids games but they didn't treat you like you're stupid. CiT is basically "wait a minute that card" tier, especially the Clank sections, you'd actually have to be a braindead retard to find any sense of accomplishment in solving those easy as fuck puzzles.
>>320934289
If you're looking to get QFB cheap, there's currently a UK sale on all Ratchet & Clank games on PSN.
Crack in time is £6.49. ToD is £5.49. The trilogy collection is £11.99. And QFB is just £3.99.
>>320934349
>i have no comeback
Okay samefag.

All the other spins offs and pseudo sequels didn't quite appeal to me, but they had their moments I guess.
Why is it somediocre?
>>320934791
Are you dense as well? I'm calling you out on thinking that the length of the game is more important than the actual content in that time
your rating metric is absolute shit
>>320933780
>Gameplay is a buzzword
This must be the new low.
>>320934642
To be honest the clank sections are around the hardest the series has ever had.
The "control the bots and throw the banana" sections are literally "wait a minute that card" tier stuff.
>>320934840
Because it was made by a group of ex-ND, ex-Imsomniac employees.Rip Dan, though.
>>320930067
Controller layout is irrelevant since it was fully remapable (at least in 1&2).
2 suffered from all the things that have ruined post Modern Warfare FPS.
> You're slow as shit. You can't dodge anything, so you just have to hide behind cover or tank the damage.
> regenerating health means tanking damage and hiding for 10 seconds is a viable stragedy.
> Hipfire accuracy is dogshit, you have to stay still or move like a snail to use anything properly unless your at point blank range. Further promotes sitting behind cover.
> 2 weapon limit means your mode of engaging the enemy is limited to what the devs want you to do, you can't "save it for later" since having 1 gun is neutering yourself and you lose it all at the end of every mission anyway.
2 had some great missions and levels, but they would have been so much better with FOM or 3's gameplay.
>>320934960
>The "control the bots and throw the banana" sections are literally "wait a minute that card" tier stuff.
Clank gameplay prior to CIT always was, the devs themselves have admitted to this
the reason clank gameplay is full of wacky robots and a zany bananna gun and shit like that is because at its core the gameplay is very basic and they needed to distract you from that in order to make it fun
>>320934642
>All the graphics are blurry as fuck
This was as a result of the low internal resolution of 960x704 and a somewhat iffy framerate. Tools of Destruction had the same low resolution, but ACiT also used some weird AA technique which blurs it further. Digital foundry said "we peg A Crack in Time at 960x704 in the final analysis, but the proprietary AA buffer merging technique does an astonishingly good job of creating the effect of native 720p, albeit with a slight blur.".
And here's a framerate analysis. Skip to the Ratchet part in the second half.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epabOVZVx-8
>>320934960
Gameplay is as much of a buzzword on /v/ as fun is. The guy was literally capitalizing GAMEPLAY - a key feature of buzzwords.
>>320934642
> Wait a minute that card tier puzzles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MWbgm4_fJk
You sure you don't mean ToD? It's puzzles WERE braindead and all your other complaints could apply as well.
>>320935469
Gameplay combines the fucking gameplay aspects of the game whether it's platforming, shooting, collecting whatever.
Fun is literally just "fun" which means nothing on its own. Saying gameplay is a buzzword is the same as saying how graphics are a buzzword or how music is a buzzword or whatever.
>>320934874
>I'm calling you out on thinking that the length of the game is more important than the actual content in that time
I never said that, but length is still matters.
>your rating metric is absolute shit
Yet you agree with it. It has good gameplay, so it's on good tier. Your original complaint was about not giving credit and disregarding games, yet credit was given where credit was due. It's not like ITN is as good as UYA or ACiT.
>>320935469
I was capitalising it because you seemed to be ignoring it completely despite how important and relevant it is when judging the quality of a game
>>320935925
>Yet you agree with it. It has good gameplay
The way I used good is binary, as in it wasn't bad. I wasn't making a statement of its ranking of quality other than the fact it's positive and not negative
