Is Up Your Arsenal the BEST game in the series? 

I have this issue sometimes, do you sometimes feel a bit alone about how much you love Ratchet and Clank and not quite understand what other people don't see in it? These games are literally brilliant and sell amazingly, but no one really talks about them in pop culture. It's super weird.

I feel like Going Commando and Tools of Destruction have the best/most fun planets. But Up Your Arsenal and Crack In Time have the better stories, focus and weapons. But that's subjective. Also Deadlocked has the best combat and weapons overall. Haven't played nexus or rift apart yet. But every game is great for different reasons which makes the games very hard to rank against each other.

I was an infant when I played Up Your Arsenal first and I only remember 2 things. The Starship Phoenix being the absolute best thing to explore, and changing the colour of my ship. Overall a 10/10 to 5 year old me

Up your Arsenal is awesome I love the Courtney Gears boss battle as I make Ratchet fight using only a Plasma Whip because it the closest thing to dancing along with wearing a Tuxedo (this is what happened if you play New Game Plus too many times)

Still say this one is my favorite of all RnC games, sure they may have gotten rid of some of the mini games, but they double down on what felt great, though the joke at the end of RnCGC can't be beat in my eyes, can always go back to 2 and 3 and always enjoy it just as much as the first experience

“ I think it was banana or maybe it was… ONE OF NATURES BIGGEST MYSTERIOUS” BUT WHAT WAS QWARK HOLDING?

Loved the intro! I definitely get why many people were disappointed in UYA, but what's included in the game is so smashingly good that even for all it's faults it's still my favourite Ratchet game of the PS2 era. Looking forward to way down the line seeing your potential videos on my favourite games: Crack in Time and Rift Apart!

This series is just amazing, I've played every single one of them, when rift apart launched the first trailer I was like YEEEEEESSSSSS now I can't wait for the next game, in my opinion all ps2 and psp ratchet and clank games should have a remake like the 1st one did, I just don't understand why people don't talk to much about this, these games are awesome

I've just finished your R&C trilogy, and man your videos are fantastic! You deserve way more subs! Keep up the great work 😁

Great video as usual! Makes me want to go through all the games again. Side note, octopus have 6 legs and 2 arms!

I think why UYA is considered the best is not because of all its content but probably because it’s the least bullshit ratchet and clank game. Think about it, ratchet one has the economy problems with bolts and difficulty, going commando has a lot of pacing problems and difficulty spikes. UYA is basically the easiest game for anyone and everyone to start playing. Sometimes an adventure that’s slim and simple can be better than a story that’s massive but have a few problems with it. On a side note writing with an iPad is hell on RU-vid

I find it funny people only started criticizing this game after TGBS made his video back in 2017. Personally, I enjoy this game more than ratchet 1 and 2 because the weapons are a lot more exciting to use (quality over quantity), and the controls feels a lot better. Ratchet snaps to a direction when you actually move the stick and it doesn't feel as sluggish. Also makes speedrunning a lot easier for correcting mistakes.

Just here to say your channel is amazing man! Keep it up! And greetings from Brazil

By the way, the multiplayer mode IS playable online on PS3 today, the servers got revived by fans, and it's as simple as changing the console's DNS. Same goes for Deadlocked HD. Even the PS2 versions are back online, even supporting custom arenas which is crazy, though only the NTSC version is playable online. There's even cross-play between the original consoles and emulators if finding original hardware is too hard for you but you have a powerful enough pc. There's Discord servers dedicated to these online revivals and it's a real shame these projects hardly get any notice.

RC2, RC1, RC3, i still think that they are really good but RC2 is God tear

Imagine if 2 and 3 had an extra 6 months-a year of development

That intro was pure gold 🤣

I still think is better than the original 2002 game due to having better controls and i aprecciate the upgrades for the core gameplay, but Going Commando i think it has some of my favorite levels in the franchise. I find the minigames to be the least annoying of the trilogy though, and in an action game is something very relevant for me. Imo Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal are very close in terms of quality, i still cannot decide the best. Thats when you realize it really doesnt matter since you know the trilogy ended up being so good.

It's really hard for me to compare Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal. I think both games are excellent. But UYA rose above in one thing - every boss battle is a spectacle, and the bosses themselves are memorable and nicely balanced. I'm glad the devs managed to do this because the bosses were either frustratingly hard (Drek, I spent an hour trying to wreck you), too easy (the Protopet was defeated on the second try!), boring (just die already, Thugs-4-less leader), or just plain uninteresting (Snagglebeast). And Qwark's stupid face on the vid-comic loading screen cracks me up every time I see it.

Spiders have 8 legs. Octopuses have 6 arms and 2 legs. Yes, they actually use two of them to walk from time to time.

This game is old enough to drink, I remember my dad getting it for me back in 2004. Good memories.

While UYA does lack weapons and a variety of planets, the big seller for me is the multiplayer.

I absolutely love the game its the first one I got when I got the ps2

Yep He definitely deserves more subs and views

If I may, will you do Ratchet Gladiator/Deadlocked, I'd LOVE to hear your opinions on it (And please play the PS2 version, I heard the PS3 one has quite a lot of bugs xD

Octopus = 8 arms Spiders = 8 legs

It is still a nice game, the Gameplay is fun.. But the Hacker is annoying and it misses many things from the other Games. It is a fun game, and should be played by fans. But it is not the masterpiece many people claim it to be.

I cant count how many times i have finished this game

Its called playing claw <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="240">4:00</a>

Hi man! Loving the videos youre putting out! Just dropped a sub :)

I can literally watch a video of you just doing jokes about “one of nature’s mysteries!” Lol I am now wondering if an octopus has 8 legs or 8 arms

2 is the best

UYA was very disappointing to me. The multiplayer levels they slapped into the campaign, the lack of multiple routes in the worlds, and really only one enemy type made the game boring to me. The puke yellow UI is also a bit off putting to me as well. It didn't deserve the praise it got. Hearing that I get to go back to Veldin, Blackwater, Metropolis, and Aridia got me blue-balled once I realized that it was just a shitty multiplayer maps they threw into the campaign. I hated it. Up Your Arsenal is a 6/10 campaign.

For me it is the best game in the World.

It was the very first game i completed to 100% back on PS2, i was so fond of it After that i turned back to Going Commando (Locked and Loaded or oddly "Fire At Will" here in Italy) despite was the first game of the series i've bought. The only things i hate of Up Your Arsenal was the lack of weapons and the fucking RYNO 3 at level 5, i fucking hate that weapon at level 5, it was a great weapon until level 4, then it became shit, just like the Zodiac of the second game Funny thing, in Italy in the first game the RYNO was renamed MIPS (Muori In Pochi Secondi = Die in few seconds) but from the second title onwards it remained its original name, i know that the weapon was renamed in some european countries

ONE OF NATURE’S MYSTERIES hahaha bloody brilliant

It used to be one of my favourites, however as time went on I found myself liking it less and less, to the point that now I see it as the worst of the original trilogy. I put it on the same level as tools of destruction. 1. Crack in Time 2. Rift Apart 3. Going Commando 4. Ratchet and Clank 6. Deadlocked 5. Up your Arsenal 6. Tools of Destruction 7. All 4 One, Full Frontal Assault, quest for booty Into the nexus is tough for me to place because of its length. If it was a full length game then I'd likely put it in 3rd, but because its so short it probably goes in 6th.

I agreed, as a child this was my favorite by far, but the older I get the more I appreciate the first game design and themes, r&c3 is not bad at all but it think most of the praise comes from the humor and how easier and accesible is and how "rewarding" the game is, with this I mean how the game constantly spams you rewards, like leveling up very fast so your guns do more flashy stuff which is neat but is very superficial and covers a lack of detail, challenge and clever level design previous games had, for me it was like a sugar saturated candy, adictive, simple and sweet, that's why worked for me back then, but now is for me the weakest in terms of gameplay of the trilogy

Really enjoying your videos. I am a graphic designer and would love to make you a free logo and a banner if you'd like. I think it would help with getting more views.

Up your arsenal is great, but it's definitely not the best, it's so unfinished and bland at a hard degree, in my opinion deadlocked IS the best in the series
