Can anyone tell me why this game is considered the best in the series?

>THAT FUCKING BOSS BATTLE. YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
I mean, it's not a bad game, not at all, it's very good, but I would still play the original over this. And that game didn't even strafing.
I thought Up Your Arsenal was considered the best
It's admired for how many gameplay changes happened between rnc and GC
Sure UYA is better but it'll be viewed as how well insomniac really revolutionized the gameplay and slowly improved upon it in later games.
>>336025804
>>336025931
I prefer deadlocked honestly
>>336026023
this tbqh
>>336026023
Gotta love how much insomniac told everyone they hated the angry ratchet design from the 1st one and yet deadlocked exists
I guess angry ratchet =\= edgy ratchet
>>336025804
you could strafe with the hover feature in the first one
>>336026008
This, the addition of strafing alone made GC an extreme improvement over 1. It pretty much set the standard for all of its sequels.
Going Commando was a massive improvement from the first game, and everyone liked the new weapons. Levels design was fine and the new areas looked nice.
UYA is objectively the best, but I hate the orange UI.
>>336025804
I think UYA is the best one personally.
I wonder if Insomniac is gonna reboot all the ps2 games
>Deadlocked with the engine of the new RnC games
Sign me the fuck up.
>Mocking Fox with Vox and getting away with it again.
>>336026354
I never played Deadlocked. I don't own a PS2 anymore.
Should I buy the PS3 port?
>>336026614
You're better off finding the ps2 copy and ps2,the ps3 pack wasn't done correctly
>>336026739
alright then. thanks.
which game has the cutest ratchet design
>>336025804
>worse level design than the orginal
subjective
>unbalanced weapons
in a single player game = fun
>shitty flying sections
i find the controls better than SF Zero's, and the gameplay isn't meant to be godlike. it's a mini game.
>if you don't buy the overpriced armor, you'll get absolutely raped in the later levels
I beat the whole game in tier 2 armor. If you're a shitter you can use the shield charger.
>THAT FUCKING BOSS BATTLE. YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
No, I really don't, but even negative attention is attention, right, not-Sony contracted shill?
>More than 1 Ratchet thread up on /v/ at any given time since the movie promotions started appearing
How's working the weekends?
>>336027338
>No, I really don't
I'm pretty sure he's talking about the giant robo dude battle.
>>336026614
It's fun, however it's nothing like the others. I went to it straight after UYA and hated it, but I liked it after a while. >>336026739 is completely right also.
While Deadlock isn't viewed as the best game
Definitely one of the best spinoffs created of all time
A perfect example of how spinoffs should be made.
>>336025931
It always comes down to these two.
They are my favorite two so I don't mind.
>>336028034
I think deadlock was an experiment to see how high they could crank up the difficulty and firefights because the games after that have been slightly harder than the previous with ItN and RnC boot getting even harder.
>>336027338
>subjective
I guess.
>unbalanced weapons
I guess that's okay too.
>i find the controls better than SF Zero's, and the gameplay isn't meant to be godlike. it's a mini game.
That is where I call bullshit. It's not a minigame, you HAVE to beat those levels to progress the story. It's literally just get shot, wait until the enemy flies right into your fire range and kill them. And you do this 20 times per level. It just fucking sucks man. At lease Star Fox Zero had alright level design.
>No, I really don't, but even negative attention is attention, right, not-Sony contracted shill?
are you serious dude
>More than 1 Ratchet thread up on /v/ at any given time since the movie promotions started appearing
I bought the original trilogy on PSN, played the WHOLE Future series and played fucking Size Matters and enjoyed it. I love Ratchet and Clank, man. Fuck off with your console wars shit.
>>336027338
>in a single player game = fun
What
> Worse level design than 1
Really? I consider 1&2's level design to be more or less equal. Both have at least 2 paths on all bar 1-2 planets, both generally loop back around, both had a good balance of combat and platfroming/puzzles (but 2 made combat much better). 1 probably had more memorable levels, but that's just virtue of being the first, 2 had tons of great ones as well.
> Unbalanced weapons
I'll take "useless after a point in the game" over "useless 100% of the game by virtue of being useless from a design, not stat perspective". 1 had so many weapons no-one used, ever (every time I replay it I'm shocked to find the Drone Device is a thing because I forget it exists every time). Insomniac made sure to make everything mechanically viable, and encouraged upgrading and buying new stuff. It wasn't perfectly balanced, but by End-game "Ultra" weapons were all balanced again, some weapons just had a bout of uselessness mid-late game on first playthrough.
> Shitty flying sections
Best flying sections in the series. I loved these things.
> If you don't buy armour you die easy
WOOOOOOOOOW! Armour isn't done right in any of the Insomniac games, Size Matters had it perfect. But it's not that big of a deal and certainly not unique to GC, unless you mean to say 1 or Deaslocke are your favourite.
> That boss
What's wrong with it? I beat it without using the turrets as a kid because it was such a cool fight wasted on easy-mode turret bullshit. I fought that mech with my weapons and it was intense. Nothing wrong with the fight.
Going Commsndo's only issues are the Final boss was super lame, the Ice Planet made by one guy in a few days and the story kinda drags in some places.
It's definetly my favourite, it fixed the gameplay issues of the first, introduced almost all the mechanics that became series trademarks (Collectathon planets, arena's, optional extra races/fights for money, weapon and health leveling etc....). All while keeping the special charm and atmosphere.
>>336028847
I think what he's trying to say is, if you already completed the game and play NG+, it's fun to just fuck around with overpowered weapons. And while I agree, it does get boring very quick.
>>336025804
>unbalanced weapons
They're actually balanced pretty good in challenge mode
>>336026182
>UYA is objectively the best
Going Commando and A Crack in Time are objectively better.
>>336028932
The boss is still slow as fuck.

Also, "best flying sections in the series"? I'm not trying to be a dick in any way, but ACiT had much better flying sections than this one. In my opinion anyway.

I'll give it a look again
>>336029374
Oh, trust me, I absolutely DESPISED those things. (Especially Visi-Bomb Maratho-I mean Veldin 2. Seriously, what the fuck?) But the good levels like Kerwan, Pokitaru and Rilgar make up for it.

Played it on PPSSPP not to long ago, I just set the strafe to the analog stick only when I'm holding a weapon instead of switching back to d-pad then analog.

Let's be honest here
Everyone prefers UYA over GC just because you can get the plasma coil and the bouncer which are objectively the best weapons from GC
>>336029726
>Playstation Move Heroes
dear god dont remind me
>>336029874
im up to Veldin 2 right now, and i just cant fucking get through it with the piss poor 5 health slots.
i should have gotten the health upgrade instead of the tesla claw....
What the fuck, man, i thought these games were so easy as a kid, why am i having trouble now
>>336030157
I still prefer GC. UYA strayed too far from actual platforming for my tastes and some weapons I just never used (plasma coil, infector)
Never played this series but kinda got interest in the Vita collection. What is their average length and how is the replay value?
Damn I feel old.
The generation who grew up thinking Ratchet and Clank was actually good post on /v/ now.
>best in series
That title belongs to A Crack in Time
>>336030341
1. Don't get the Vita collection.
2. Around 10-15 hours each, plus Challenge Mode.
>>336030368
And you probably don't play video games anymore because everything must be shit.
>>336030368

Trust me. Just use the Visi-Bomb. Don't use anything other than the Visi-Bomb.
>>336030341
Playing them on an original PS2 is the only way to go. They didn't port well, and they don't emulate well.
3 > 2 > 1
Only played the ps2 trilogy and none of the ps3 games.
>>336030623
The PS3 Future series is pretty good imo. Even the short ones like Quest for Booty and Into the Nexus are quite fun
>>336030515
Nothings better than a hidden bottle of vodka and vidya gaems anon
>>336030341
The Vita ports aren't great, the performance is pretty disappointing compared to PS3 or even PS2. That said, it's far superior to e.g. the Jak collection, still playable.
I'd recommend getting it on either of those platforms.
They last each around 10 hours, but starting with 2 there's a lot of replay value thanks to new game+.
You guys think RnC will die out like other long franchises, or did the movie and new game breathe air back into the series.
>>336029437
Crack in Time had cool space exploration, seamlessly landing on moons and stuff, but the combat was really lackluster.
It was also on a 2D plane, so it was more like boat combat with a space background than actual space dog fights. GC gave you a large 3D space to work with and you could end up fighting at any angle, like actual space.
ACiT style exploration with GC flying would be cool, but probably end up really disorientating and frustrating for the player.
>tfw probably the only person who thinks Tools of Destruction is the best game in the series
>>336030878
The remake is one of the best selling games in the franchise, reportedly. At worst there won't be any more movies, which isn't a bad thing.
>>336030583i dont have enough bolts to buy it

>>336031045
It feels kinda dead to me. What do you like most about it?
>>336030878
Movie apperently sucks and will likely flop.
Game is selling faster than any previous Ratchet title, so hopefully this means we get more (properly budgeted) Ratchet games and more lighthearted 3D playformers in general.
>>336031140
literally what the fuck
also,
>he didn't get the Visi-Bomb
I'm so sorry
>>336030583
I 100%ed the game (all skill points and gold bolts) today and Visi bomb is not needed except for the dropships. Devestator is much more effective at killing the crowds of Elite Troopers.
>>336030487
>>336030614
>>336030826

Good. His segments are always ass.
>>336031340
Sister was a bully.

>tfw she's 24 now and buy's me booze because im poor.
Does it take those fucking dropshits out in one hit?
i have to limit my rocket launcher fire to 4 per dropship and 2 per tank, then using the tesla claw for all the fucking shitcunt blargian spec ops.
Think i should go back to another planet to hunt for the 10k bolts for the visibomb?
>>336031676
His only good segments were ACIT and GC
>>336031656
The Ratchet games are some of the worst emulated.
You must use software mode, which requires an extremely powerful CPU and ends up being no better than playing on a PS2.
Hardware mode has broken textures everywhere.
>>336031530
Forgot to mention...
If you don't buy anything but the Blaster, Pyro and Devestator (skip all the other weapons and health upgrades) you can basically afford the RYNO before the final level, which is the most satisfying thing to do.
>>336025804

>>336031838
holy fuck.

>>336028818
>literally just get shot
You know you have these great things called items that make those sections easier. Mines in particular are great for taking out ships tailing you, and you can beat even the hardest levels without taking more than maybe 3 hits if your good
It's fine if you don't like them, but don't tell me they were bad
>>336032146
it's not.
fuck it's even called Gladiator in Aus.
the humor in it was top notch though, but the same cant be said for the reboot.
>>336031771
I think it get's destroyed in 2 hits. And yeah, grind some bolts and get the Visi-Bomb.
You don't have to use that much like
>>336031530 said, but still. It's very useful.
Agree with the unbalanced weapons, some of them get completely useless later in the game unless you shoot out half of their ammo.
Also, what's up with the shitty health bar? You still die in 4 or so hits most of the time, was it really necessary to change it?
>>336031838
Holy shit, that looks absolutely awful. Why does it look like that?
>>336032268
I never bothered with the upgrades. I didn't want to waste my bolts on them.
I am honestly worried for the series' future
I want to see the lombaxes, I want another villain that's not nefarious. If they have to keep making reboots so a sequel can be well though out I'd be okay.
Was making the story being more serious in the future series a good or bad thing for the series?
>>336031530
>>336031915
>>336032440
Thanks mate's.
there was some guns i skipped getting and stuff got and used probably once (Decoy for Orxon crab beast things.)
would have thought Visi bomb would fall into that category.
>>336032525
Custom mipmaps.
Basically Ratchet and Clank is one of the few games that took advantage of a feature of the PS2's GPU that few other developers used because of tight memory constraints (4MB of VRAM). It makes things run significantly faster and stops "shimmering" textures at low resolutions though.
When PCSX2 was designed, so few games utilized the feature that it made things a lot simpler and faster to ignore it. Now their graphics driver is so titanic that adding the feature at this stage would require a major rewrite.
You know, i remember clocking at least the first 2 games in the same day as a kid.
like 4 hours each.
i also remember waking up at 10, starting UYA for the 50th time and finishing it by 2.
are the games as short as im remembering or was childhood me some sort of autist speed runner
>>336033227
I swear I got through Challenge mode like 20 times.
After that you can beat it in just a couple hours.
>>336033061
>so few devs actually made use of the ps2's GPU features that PCSX2 ignored it.
makes me sad Tbh pham
>>336032747
It was a good thing, cause its better to have reached the apex and then fall down than never to have reached it at all.
Lets face it, Ratchet ain't getting better that Crack in time ever, so lets remember the games that lead up to it instead of those after it.
>>336033409
It's also the reason Ace Combat has fucked up ground textures.
The problem with emulators is that people want them to work today, and not on computers 10 years in the future. They also generally only care about popular games. So they design emulators around speedhacks and you end up with clusterfucks like N64 emulation.
>>336025804
Going from R&C1 to R&C2 is literally one of the most dramatic original-to-sequel improvements in the history of video games. Only other thing that comes close is Assassin's Creed.

What exactly was edgy? I've beaten that game three times, and nothing ever struck me as edgy. I don't even think he got as angry as he did in the first two games.
i think the core gameplay, weapons and movement are much better than in the first game, and i had a lot of fun in the arena modes, flying sections and racing sections. i also really enjoyed being able to level up weapons
i did not enjoy the third game as much, because it felt like the focus went from being an action-platformer to more of a straight third-person-shooter and those aren't really my thing. the second strikes the best balance
just my two cents. last i played of these games was literally when they came out
>>336033868
It's good, but I always remember it as being really fucking long and hard to play in one go
I think ToD's problem was Tachyion was shaping to be a real menace to the lombaxes and he gets defeated in one game.
>>336034617
he was also not Dr Nefariouswhy do they keep reusing him anyway?
should have just let him die with his cameo at the end of Deadlocked

Can't really say anything about the level designs from a mechanical standpoint but from an artistic view a lot of them were fucking concept art tier & some of the best in the series - Endako, Feltzin, Siberius, Todano, Boldan, Gorn, the list goes on (although they chose forgettable names; had to look most of them up)

Pfft. The only time I buy ANY armour on R&C is for the final skill point/trophy after 100%ing the rest of the game. The games actually get EASIER as you go through - you get more HP & better weapons. Glass cannon gamplay is fun
>THAT FUCKING BOSS BATTLE. YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
Agreed, although it gets piss easy on challenge mode because they don't scale his HP at all

Piss off. They may not have been good R&C weapons but it Deadlocked had some of the best gunplay in the series & the overall most enjoyable weapon selection (minus the B6 Obliterator - that thing sucked)

I think the orchestral stuff will be exclusive to the Future series. It was supposed to be a more serious, movie-like series.
This reboot did contain a few tracks that were very reminiscent of the older PS2 games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTMlSE8q6lo

pretty much every starting weapons as well as every incarnation of the blaster, and every weapon that isn't close to the game's RYNO variant in challenge mode as much as i love this series they suck dick when it comes to weapon balance in the latest one the combuster can be upgraded to shoot TEN shots per round but because enemies are bullet sponges it still sucks , even if you use for small enemies the sheepinator can do its job infinitely better
>tfw my favorite gun is the lancer and N90 Hurricane but they suck so much dick i never use them

>>336026123
He wasn't edgy in the first game, he was just a selfish asshole at first.
>>336037763
He's as good as dead at this point, since they probably won't do anything with the Dimensionator again, and was nowhere near as charismatic as Nefarious to be worth bringing back anyways.

>>336030878
It's currently the fastest selling R&C game so if they were using this as a way to gauge interest on whether or not they should continue making more Ratchet games; they probably will.
Honestly I kind of hope they just take a break from this series. It's great but they've been putting out so many games since the original debutedthat and I fucking hate neo-Insomniac. Michael Bross, TJ Fixman and whoever was the retard at IG saying that 60FPS doesn't matter anymore need to fuck off
I feel like they really should have just stopped at CiT.
>>336031771
Go to Rilgar and turn on the hologuise before speaking to the racing girl. You'll be able to walk on the track and break crates which respawn instantly the moment they get off screen. If you have the taunter you can use that to break crates off screen and since they respawn instantly you'll just keep on breaking them and getting bolts. Try doing it under that elevated platform with the wall of crates on it, during a race you normally jump through it.
>>336040040
We did? I thought they were the same thing
>>336038810
The meteor gun was such a disappointing way to finish off the based lava gun's upgrade cycle. I'm glad they replaced it with the liquid nitrogen gun in UYA.
That thing was superb.

The remake is the last game Fixman is involved with, and Bross' OST for the remake is pretty decent.

>>336040995
I prefer this style than the one in 2.
I'm playing this after years since i played it as child
I remember desperately trying to beat the impossible challenge at the arena, it took me over 10 tries at least, gruelingly trying to defend myself in the last few stages
Now I completed it on second try, wew lad. wasnt even hard.
same with rachet and clank 1, i defeated chairman drek on the third try, and not because the combat was hard but because i fucked up the slingshot jumps and fell to the abyss.
>>336040881
That was a fucking gauntlet.
>>336041116
Ah, yeah. You get Raritarium in that desert, right? I really enjoyed that part.
>>336041240
The worst part was if you lost all your lives you went right back to the start of the ship level and that was no picnic
>>336040573
2's OST always reminds me of robocop for some reason.
is it because Ratchet is a wannabe Corporate Commando in it and the music reflects this?
or am i just sleep deprived and looking to far into it.
we'll never know.
>>336041147

>>336041147

>>336041258
You got it from the desert and from destroying enemy ships
I liked how in UYA as you upgraded your weapons they'd get parts added and things added to their behaviors before the big V5 upgrade.
Like the N60, the game's blaster, for example. One level it might get a scope on top, next a guard for Ratchet's fingers in front of the handle. And the shots would change to, at first they're just shots, then they bounce from enemy to enemy, then they shock enemies, etc.
It was a little touch but it really helped you feel like you were getting more powerful as you leveled up weapons. Wish they would do something like that again but I know they won't because it'd require making more than two models per weapon.
>>336025804
Better story, you actually feel like uncovering a mystery. The last game where you do not feel completely OP after upgrading everything.
>>336027237

I like to think Megacorp and the Bogon Galaxy in general just has a different way of thinking when it comes to robot design and aesthetics than the Gadgetron/Solana Galaxy mindset.
What's your favourite boss in the series?
For me, it's definitely Doctor Nefarious. His moves were pretty unique and cool for a RNC boss fight, and it just felt satisfying to shoot the Bouncer right in his fucking robot face.We don't talk about the Biobliterator. What a disappointment.

Nah, 2 is definitely the best, it was my least favourite for ages then I went back and did the original trilogy back to back. Loved 1 and 2 much more than I remembered, 3 was always my favourite and I came out of it severely disappointed. 2 had an excellent difficulty curve, some really neat level design (looking at you Silver City), a really sleek aesthetic for everything and introduced lots of neat shit that became constants in every game afterwards.
Plus that "ratchet and clank YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FROM angela YOU LUCKY DEVIL" line always cracks me up
>>336041183
The sheepinator, original or black doesn't matter, makes the Impossible Challenge a joke since it doesn't use ammo. So you're able to unload everything on the two bosses.

>>336044069
And repetition. What was good about the original OSTs was that they picked a good sounding snippet of music and used it lots of times. I know it's kind of cunty but there's too much variation in the news tracks to get them memorised.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMPsMETuaNc
For example, take the beat of Blackwater City. As an individual beat its pretty good but consider how it's repeated constantly as the core of the song. You will never forget that song because such a good beat was drilled in.

No, it's perfectly playable. It's just that there are minor glitches (that could have been fixed but Sony said SHIP IT). Some water/lava/laser textures are WORSE, Ratchet's helmet is too big, auto-targeting does not work on gravity ramps, music loops improperly.
I don't know if there is anything else.
If I were you, I would just emulate. Screw what everyone else says, the games are playable. The thing is, it will get better. Emulation always gets better.

However, my point is that, if you buy the PS3 port, every bug it has will be there forever. No one will fix the PS3 versions now. Everything wrong with the ports will remain there always.
However hard, however unlikely, the PS2 emulator can always be fixed. It can get better. The PS3 versions will never get better.

Anon said he had the PS2 original. He may as well just play that instead of twiddle his thumbs, waiting for PS2 emulation to get gud. Because it won't reach an adequate enough level to emulate Ratchet & Clank any time soon.
The Vita port is pretty good in my opinion. Although I might just be blinded by the novelty of playing a PS2 game on a handheld.
>>336048330

I remember doing the same thing as a kid to the point that I got the bolt counter in all 3 original games to cap out on the savefile(in game it still incremented properly, but the savefile just showed 9s).
I even did first person runs of Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal.
>>336048682
If that ever happens, they will use the PS3 versions to port. Or maybe they won't. But either way, it will have even more bugs. Mark my word. Screencap this if you wish. Sony is no better than any other publisher, in that they are not concerned with preserving games intact. Pic related.

>Nexus Zurkon: Upgrades to have Zurkon, Zurkon Jr and Mrs Zurkon
>RC 2016 Zurkon: Only adds Zurkon Jr
mrs zurkon being a boss was not a good excuse for that either.

Man the Zurkon family in Nexus was amazing. Best iteration of the weapon, hands down.

"refined online"
online has never been good to ratchet and clank
with the reboot did anyone else notice how broke the Rhyno is against the final boss?
I had him on 1% during his first cycle. It was weird.
>>336029726
I stayed up all night downloading quest for fuckin booty on my last days of summer vacation 2010 and for what? a shitty 2 hour game that just hinted that it was all nefarious's godamn doing. fuckin zoni man
>>336029449
The Leviathan Flail was one of the best weapons in the whole series.
>>336052047
Damn right. I actually stopped using it because it took my 30 seconds to bring him 3/4ths down and I wanted the fight to last at least a minute.
>>336052047
You can kill the final boss of going commando within 5-15 seconds with the RYNO II
>>336030074
i played that game on ps2 and it was alright, i gave up on ng+ though, couldnt beat the last boss and stopped playing forever
>>336052047
I never used it against him(If only because I didn't assemble it)
Speaking of the final boss man either I'm just shit or something else because it took me like five tries.

Talk about worthless, I stopped bothering to play it and just stuck with binding of isaac.

RY3NO
Not only does the name not make any sense, but they made the same fucking mistake they made with the lava gun, immediately after they learned their lesson about what went wrong with the lava gun.
I didn't want another fucking zodiac you cumchuggers, I wanted to run around shooting insane amounts of missiles at everything. One of them is visceral and powerful and fun as missiles fly around and impact shit, the other one is 'press X to make everything disappear'.
I never played deadlocked, I always thought it was just a multiplayer arena based thing.
did it actually have a decent singleplayer campaign or what?
>>336052651
>Rip Ya 3 New Ones
Makes enough sense to me.
But I agree, RY3NO was so good until you max it out.
>>336052651
>RY3NO Name doesnt make sense
>Rip You 3 New Ones
>>336052737
>did it actually have a decent singleplayer campaign or what?
It was okay. But that's about all.
>>336052737
The campaign is the majority of the game. The best bit about it is co-op, Deadlocked with a buddy is GOAT. Otherwise the campaign is just OK.
>>336041147
In UYA it's pretty clear it's meant to be a masturbation device. But the problem for Qwark at the end of GC is that they had yet to fine tune it to be gentle and actually something you'd want on your dick and balls without causing horrific pain.
>>336052737
It's got an entire singleplayer campaign with the same humor of the rest of the series. Ratchet makes a note of his armor not having room for his tail.

A mix of the Zodiac and the other missile launching RYNO's, only it actually works, fantastically at that.

Probably never gonna happen. Insomniac wants that cinematic music. R&C is just another victim of the "Cinematic Experience" fad.

The armor / health system is at least a helluva lot better than any RC game since. It felt like I was getting 3-shotted in UYA even with the best armor and 200 health.
I'd like to see a 2D metroidvania R&C with character swapping between Ratchet and Clank a la Portrait of Ruin. Handrawn cartoon graphics would be nice.

oh shit niggerrate each RYNO from most fun to least fun (this includes harbinger)
>>336055542
It's getting better, especially with the latest version of the emulator. But even still, you need a powerful recent PC. And software mode.
Ratchet & Clank are second hardest to emulate, after Jak & Daxter. That is because Insomniac and Naughty Dog used PS2's extra power through HAX.
OH FUCK
HE TOOK AWAY MY GIANT CLANK.
FUCK FUCK, GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT THE CORPORATE MENACE OF SONY
>>336055542
No, it emulates awfully.
>>336055649
Going Commando RYNO is the best, because as powerful as it was, it was never as OP as all the ones that followed. It also id not destroy everything you see, instead opting for "one shot = one enemy damaged".
PSP games do not count in the comparison.

>>336056608
Truthfully, I enjoyed it. But it's just a few levels of base defense.
There's nothing wrong with it, and I don't regret buying it, but I wouldn't exactly recommend it unless you're a huge fan of the series or find it for really cheap.
>>336056432

I FUCKING GOT THE BASTARD
>>336057213
Do the bolt glitch
>>336057213
There's an exploit that's basically getting onto the hoverboard course on rilgar on foot and using the taunter to break the infinitely respawning crates in every version of the game, though it got more complex with each re-release
I recently found out that you can get gold weapons on the first playthrough
>>336057213
Look it up, there's some way to sneak into the hoverboard course and use the noisemaker to destroy off screen constantly respawning crates.
>>336029449
>Best weapons
>Best weapon customization
>One of the best villains
>Best side characters
The fusion rifle is the best sniper rifle in the games, the hunter mine is spectacularly useful and the best mine weapon in the games, the dual vipers are the best blasters in the games, the leviathan flail is the best melee weapon in the games, the rainbow harbinger is hilariously awesome, this version of the holoshield and miniturret gloves are the best versions in the games.
And with the absolute best modification system that allows you to turn them into your own unique weapons for your style of play, they become insanely useful for whatever situation you want them for. So quit being wrong you faggot.

I agree with you in everything else but there has never been an edgy Ratchet. R&C 1 may have had a chip on his shoulder, but it's to be expected in a Teen game.

>>336057692
would have shed a tear if he just left him.
starting on 2 now, disk is all scratched to hell, let's hope it works
>>336055649
The original RYNO still the best. The only time the missiles do not hit a target is when there are no more targets to hit. Everything else either has serious aiming problems or they're a reskin of the Zodiac which is shit.
>>336057932
The crates don't come back if you try the glitch again
>>336057404
>more complex
I agree that just starting the race with hologuise enabled is easier than pushing yourself through the wall, however the clip is nowhere near hard. Used it in the Up Your Arsenal to get into the Museum and rest of the ship outside of the attack.

>>336058351
The Ultra Mini-Nuke was absurdly strong, it was still able to one-shot enemies by the time you reach Megacorp HQ. That's one of the reasons it's still my favorite bomb launcher in the series. And both the Heavy Lancer and N90 Hurricane are also excellent in their Ultra and Omega versions respectively, both are still reliable in the late-game of a challenge mode playthrough and are examples of how the standard blaster weapon SHOULD be in these games, unlike the Magma Combuster which shall always be useless in any game it's in.

I worded it poorly. I'm not saying that RC one Ratchet was edgy, just that if you were to compare him to Deadlocked Ratchet, RC one Ratchet is edgier.
I don't even know what Ratchet did that everyone calls edgy in Deadlocked? He was never really angry at anyone except Ace, and that's because he considered Ace a traitor at first, and because he shot Al later. he seemed to take pretty well to being kidnapped and put in The Running Man. Didn't even get angry at Vox, just called him an idiot if he thought Ratchet would ever kill other heroes for fame and fortune.

Is it wrong if I kind of liked All 4 One just because I could play as Nefarious?
Man, I'd love a Nefarious spin off where the whole goal is conquering a galaxy. Shit, maybe throw in elements of base/boss building where you can create your own super evil lair and giant mechs. And, if I can be extremely unrealistic and silly for one moment, the next Ratchet game involves taking down Nefarious and his new evil empire, and it reads save files to implement some of the things you created, like your personal giant mech from the Nefarious game is now a boss in the Ratchet one. Unrealistic and would never happen, but I just think being able to create some massive powerhouse and then have it turned on you would be great.
>>336036031
the winterizer and the sheepinator in the remake are pretty good
but you're right, the early versions of these weapons were awful

>>336061212
You don't think Clank is worth investing the time and money into letting him kill shit with you rather than just lazily lay against your back?
It and the Tesla Barrier together made the yetis a complete fucking joke without having to expend any sort of ammo whatsoever. You need to experiment with more options more.
damn, this thread made me dust off my PS2
>>336060806
It's basically a "An enemy is behind you off screen" warning system that does chip damage. It would have been better if it was both cheaper and you could find it's ammo in crates.

Am I being picky or does breaking crates not seem as satisfying in the remake as it did in the older games?
The debris has more force behind it and doesn't last as long before disappearing as I would have expected.

It was a shocker when you could do that.
Anyone got R&C artwork? Always liked concept art and sketches.
>>336061565
I could have sworn it was a vendor only ammo.

Next you're going to tell me the Spiderbots are useless because they don't kill everything in sight with one single spiderbot, and that anything that isn't the Plasma Coil or Bouncer are a waste of time.

You don't get to be upset by Quest For Booty and Into the Nexus for being short. They were priced accordingly.
You can hate them for other reasons all you want, but it's pretty damn stupid to be mad about something that they lowered the price of the game to represent it.

Telsa barrier is vendor only everything else you can get from crates even the zodiac
>>336061761
How did you get that I was upset from that post? I'm not, I enjoy QfB, but it's just an extended level.
Well fuck
something's gone wrong, because im caught in a loading screen on my way to the maktar nebula
should i just kill myself?
>>336061808
synthenoids are also vendor only
>>336061893
Forgot about them
>>336061893
R&C3 sniper rifle is also vendor only
not sure about R&C2 though
>>336061720
Spiderbots had some utility to them and didn't cost 1 million bolts.

this >>336047095, both hacking puzzles in 2 were pretty great. The first few Electrolyzer puzzles were kinda dull but they got better near the end of the game, and the Infiltrator minigame was short, simple and sweet.

The one from 3.
What was the worst though?

The PS4 sold well despite the movie possibly flopping. Due to the director wanting more something on the lines with the Minions instead of the Ratchet and Clank style writing they were originally going with.

>The fuckin Sixaxis circuit one
You can go into the options and change it to use the analog stick instead.

Deadlocked had a good soundtrack. Better than Future

I'm sick of Zurkon.
I want synthetic Qwarks. Starts off like an immobile turret with a Qwark robot that has a spring base, like the one from the Swingshot obstacle course. Gains a robotic wheel like the ones from Qwark's hideout to be able to move. Spits hero catchphrases and advertisements for shoddy Qwark-brand goods.
It's basically an amalgam of the mini-turret, decoy, and agents of doom/dread gloves.

The reason Nefarious didn't work in PS4 is because there was NO FUCKING LAWRENCE!
You can't have Nefarious without Lawrence.

i love everything you described

>played the shit out of the original, greatest hits, and HD version
>Never heard this song
I will always consider Drek's theme to be the regular Veldin 2 music
>>336062178
Bolts are fucking worthless once you hit Challenge Mode. The fuck are you going to spend that million on once you've upgraded everything?
>>336057567
Late reply just to say you have amazing taste, Anon
UYA is so tedious to replay with those battlefield missions and Quark comic levels.
>>336061653
Lookup CreatureBox. The guys who did the RandC art also did art for some tv shows of a similar art style.

>hunter mine launcher
Nobody would play with me on multiplayer because I was that faggot who would dump all mods towards his hunter mine launcher (good ol' magma mod) and shoot some spare ones in random places while charge booting straight into them to kill them instantly.
Only better weapon in that game was the leviathan flail. God damn was that a satisfying weapon to git gud with.
>>336062654
This is the best idea I've seen in a long time.
>>336061319
The Insomniac that you are thinking of has long been forgotten.
