Johnny vs. Ratchet: Deadlocked 

And I'll fucking do it again!

Johnny vs Caps

Jhonny coming closer and closer to the TF2 review, let's GOOOOO.

What is this? A TF2 video?

@@SomecallmeJohnny do it, you won’t!

Couldn’t agree more

But his face is kinda weird its much round and uglier than the OG model.

Ow! The edge!

Nowadays, He's as dull as a pair of safety scissors, that he couldn't even cut through *butter.*

I slightly jest, ofcourse. Rift Apart looks awesome, and I did get a kick out of TOD, Booty and Clockblockers

Whats in the secret sauce! His favorite cookie is a snickerdoodle!

"I'm gonna break character for a sec and say, WATCH OUT! IF YOU DON'T WE ALL DIEEEEEE!!"

Annilation Nation has a great demo plan.

@@r10101 I thought it was 'dental plan'

I'm so glad you have the option to take out the commentary from those two. Made the game far more enjoyable.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is another example I've seen regarding Silver's potential.

meh, for me personally, i think a dmc vergil style game would fit shadow much more, i mean come on, chaos control as darkslayer style, chaos spears as summoned sword, chaos form as devil trigger, chaos blast punches and jet-boot kicks as beowulf, maybe even go full archie and give shadow a melee chaos spear to attack with like the newly introduced mirage edge, it would be perfect in my opinion. if you want a ratchet and clank style sonic game, then tails already exists and it fits him much better than shadow. at least in my opinion.

@@alimowla3204 I mean, sure, if they wanted to take the character action route then I would love your idea too. It’s why I’d love to see Platinum take the challenge at some point considering they’ve worked with SEGA multiple times. The thing is, they settled on guns *specifically* and the Ratchet series (especially Deadlocked’s explosive, over the top combat and dark aesthetic) shows that you can do much better than just… Sonic Heroes with realistic weaponry randomly thrown in the stages and a mission-based structure.

If Tails were getting R&C-inspired gameplay, I think gearing it more like the original would suit him better than, say, the more shooter-first emphasis of R&C3 onwards. I've seen the weapons of the original described as platformer power-ups you can use indefinitely. You had to be more thoughtful about how you used your weapons. They were more tools than killing machines. Plus, there were so many wacky gadgets for a plethora of scenarios.

Crypto in the DAH games also makes silver look like shit.

I understand that. I'm a sucker for my own

@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32 Same, I have my own memories of a "man, I really loved that hat, wish I could find another like it" hat.

it was a pretty cool hat. Notice how he still keeps it on the design of his avatars for his channel lol

I agree a look at furthering the combat for one title was fine not that direction the rest of the series. It's why I don't hate that All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault exist they wanted to experiment I'm fine with that they did the main three besides the core gameplay. The mod system is awesome I wish they brought it back I hate the Rarititanium skill tree personally. That and the moon's from crack in time. It's the combo of ideas I want but they seem to not implement them I assume due to effort to code/thinking fans want the same old but to me the same old was never Tools of Destruction ideas that's for sure. Deadlocked is just fun to 100% too I find no need to but it's fun to me. All the jackpot containers, skill points, 100 level weapons so good. But obviously for 1 title. Wouldn't want it going this way or it would get boring and the quality change I expect to not be great and the platforming makes the series interesting not just action all the time even if the bots add a fair amount to situations even if the level design is multiplayer maps used fairly well but not as great as others.

I kinda wish Johnny took a chance to experience the multiplayer in its true form. Local couch multiplayer in games like ratchet 3 and deadlocked are kind of unsung heroes. They weren't halo levels of crazy but damn they have a lot of charm and since they're the focus of 3 and deadlocked it's unfortunate he couldn't go to Them.

GC: best ratchet game UYA: my favorite ratchet game Deadlocked: best spin-off/"gimmick" game (and personally my second favorite from the PS2 era, or third depending how I feel about GC that particular day)

Not to mention Co-Op Campaign! 💕

I wouldn't be suprised if that's how Insomniac actually reacted, since Jak & Daxter games were always ahead of Ratchet & Clank games in terms of release.

@@Asaylum117 Sumo Digital did just that with the reveal of Mario Kart 7 showing off the hang glider and underwater mechanics since they were developing Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed for a while before 7’s reveal.

@@SonicXAmy121Gamer oh yeah, I remember that from didyouknowgaming

Ghost Station, Dreadzone and Final Boss theme slap.

@@leithaziz2716 destroy the east generator, king of the leviathans, marauder tournament soundtracks are all sick

He played way worse than that at this point.

What wrong with those games?

@@GenerationZ313 They're not good at all. And no. I won't hear anything about how "The PS2 butchered this PSP classic" no. The PSP version was never good either

@@GenerationZ313 Weapons deal almost no damage by the halfway point of Size Matters and the game becomes a slog the more it goes on. The minigames are also terribly clunky to control.

@@GenerationZ313 Size Matters is infamous for all the enemies and bosses (specially the Technomites) being extreme bullet sponges. It is a hore to deal with them. There is a particular bossfight that everyone hates, and that is Luna and the last boos being Otto Destruct. Other than that, the game is fine and it added an interesting gimmick of adquiring differents suits that you could combine to get the game style you want.

There was nothing wrong with your English here dude :)

@@TCGJAyandGian131 thank you for saying that

And literal dark times they were. 2005 was the same year Shadow the Hedgehog came out and then 2006, FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus came out.

The good old days where dark green or dark red was the most colorful you'll get,

Early 2000’s edge.

Yeah... Chicken Little sure was a crazy game XD

from what I gathered from the Golden Bolts video on Deadlocked it was basically a combination of low budget, short deadline, and trying to port the game to a completely new engine .

I don't think underrated describes it, most who played it think positivity about it. I would say OVERLOOKED is more accurate.

That's my top two as well. Going commando and deadlocked. Lol.

technically true, but also even when i checked out the custom servers a bit ago, no one was really online, which was a shame

@@internettoon people tend to play more at night since majority of people have jobs so maybe check at a different time

I liked it too. The mission system kept things engaging just enough that I didn't mind it, along with getting a new vehicle every so often to drive around in

Overall? Or just within the original era? Because for me, Up Your Arsenal is my favorite in the original PS2/PSP era, but for the PS3 "Future" era, my favorite is A Crack in Time, hands down. I absolutely LOVE A Crack in Time.

That’s really cool to know. I always love learning about stuff that ends up on the cutting room floor.

Clank was also seemingly going to be kidnapped by Vox in the Ghost Station according to a cutscene that can still be found in the files. At one point in the game, there was going to be a Lombax character like Ratchet. I think they did the right thing scrapping it for later with Crack in Time and Rift Apart.

@@leithaziz2716 wonder if they'll finally pull the trigger on the lombax enemy/rival idea in the next game (unless alister already filled that role, i won't know i've yet to get to the ps3 games), honestly, hoping they just conclude the lombax stuff next game.

@@alimowla3204 The answer's kinda spoilery, but they already did this in a Crack in Time.

@@leithaziz2716 ah, very well then, i'll play the future games eventually (and replay nexus). still, the lombaxes as a whole are still a loose end as of rift apart, so hopefully that gets resolved, especially considering the lorbs.

Each one chewed the scene pretty well honestly. Shell Shock, Vox, Ace Hardlight, and even the announcers

@@DirectorOfChaos9292 that's probably why I liked the characters. You can sell me on well performed cheese.

Insomniac is too busy to experiment with the series anymore, I doubt it'd be viable these days and barely was in 2011-2012. Hell it's a miracle they give enough of a fuck to still want to continue the series; *especially* now as I feel the last era of the series will be the PS5. Also I consider this game half spin-off due to it sharing a lot of key aspects to UYA.

I can't believe RvB ended after 5 seasons, but it ended on a good note. Imagine if they milked the HELL out of that series and made it serious all of a sudden. Granted, I could imagine it having some good movements, but then all I can imagine it having "Return of the King" styled multiple "endings" where it truly NEVER ends, then it gets bad all of a sudden, and you truly WANT it to end, like the sick, old dog that it is. But thankfully, we don't have to worry about that. There's only 5 seasons...

@@Mekboy_ComputerMonster I could say the same for season 13. Season 13 was a great series finale. It would be ashamed if they keep making more. The quality probably would have dropped

@@jakeconercan you imagine if it drove their business into the ground? Yeah, that’d be weird.

Ya but the liquid nitrogen gun only froze enemies when they died, not before, so it wasn't really the same.

That would be a round 2

Fuuuuuuuuck yaaaaaaaaaaa

He stopped composing after QfB also you could just turn the sfx down.

Bro this was my first ratchet game and I loved every bit of it! The explosions, the guns, the music, playing it was like dying in heaven in my childhood!

@@toony9986 same 🙂 though it was the only I was interested in, haven’t played the others funny enough despite how much I enjoy deadlocked

My neighbor had the game and we played multiplayer CONSTANTLY it was fun. Favorite vehicle was the landstalker, and I liked The flail weapon

@@DirectorOfChaos9292 the flail was good but I fully upgraded the ng+ twin vipers and those were so versatile

Highly underrated

@@megachaosblast126 I know! I’m trying to inspire THQNordic to remake the trilogy Tak was on there list of remakes so it can happen! I also want a big reviewer to give them the respect they deserve! Because to me personally there better than most 3D platformers that get mainstream attention and it bothers me

@@Gamingwithahandicap Kinda one of those franchises that were just forgotten. Kinda insane since it had it's own TV show on Nickelodeon afterwards and nobody really paid any attention to it.

Honestly, I don't think that was the issue. Ratchet Gladiator maybe "darker" but it's far from edgy, and that also applies to Jak and Daxter as well... yeah the plot gets more elaborate and introduces shades of grey but it's far from dark. No the main issue with this game, is it's gameplay... it's kind of mindnumbing to some extent.

@@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective Not necessarily with Rachet or Jak, I mean in the media industry at large because some series are better executed than others. The vast majority of movies, games, tv shows etc. aimed at the 8-15 range tried to appear dark and "mature" and I wonder if the designers legitimately thought they were making bold creative decisions, or if they knew it was just a temporary market trend.

Honestly I'd say that's a fair assessment. I wouldn't say Ratchet Gladiator was as drab as murky brown shooters go as there is still character to it but comparing it to UYA and GC it's definitely a noticeable drop. The games not bad but it is honestly kind of mindless and for me it's not one I can play for long periods.

I'd agree with that, mostly because if you dunked a snickerdoodle in tea it'd last but not for long.

Isn’t he described as being dead in this game though? Or at least retired since Sasha is president?

@@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective sasha is actually the new mayor of metropolis in this game, not the new president.
