Ratchet and Clank | The Completionist 

there is but quark isnt one

+Toxic-Vermin Really? Who? Dan?

+Jake Eyes I wonder if the citizens or Burbank count...

I think Ratchet is the only character in the game with more than 2 fingers.

well it is a completely different galaxy

I remember seeing boxes numerous times in the movie, but I don't recall a single one getting broken. It was a travesty.

mariokarter13 None of the boxes were destroyed in the movie? *Grabs Cross* OUT OF THIS HOUSE! OUT OF THIS HOUSE! SPIRITS GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE!

ALL BOXES MUST DIE!!!

Crash Bandicoot trained us well. Lol

Taco Percy WHAT CRAZED MANIAC WOULD DENY US THE BOX DESTRUCTION?!?

Clay Stewart What about the girl Lombax in Going Commando?

Aestras she's not confirmed to be a Lombax. Insomniac said she's only a similar species like a hybrid between a Lombax and another species which is why she's literally twice his height. That being said people only believe Ratchet is the last one because they're that rare. As far as I know it's implied they can't be confirmed extinct or confirmed how many of them there are left. It's implied their are others potentially out there but a handful in an entire universe means that chances are if you meet or know one not only would you assume it's the only one left but you'd also be experiencing something only like 0.00001 percent of people in the universe would see.

@@pfitz9346 Wasn't she confirmed to be a Lombax in A Crack In Time through one of the Space Radio Newscast things though?

Clay Stewart that’s why he should have played the original games

@@slothoverlord4388 yes but they also say that she’s been missing for years by that point. Because of that from everyone’s perspective Ratchet is the last of his kind. Basically people in universe think she died

timhatten Don’t forget Sly Cooper!

timhatten if you were like me in R&C, your ammo was at max 100% of the time and your wrench was the ultimate weapon

Sly Cooper: am I a joke to you

R&C is the closest you can get to a playable Pixar movie.

LMFAOO i was so stuck at the early levels as a kid coz i wouldnt use any of my gadgets and would rather use the wrench @@basketbomberslackingson4417

+Gamblord That's not necessarily a bad thing, though.

Well yeah I know that. I was just referring to when he said that it was basically a remake and that veterans might not like the game because it's too similar. The early game is pretty similar but the ending levels are wildly different

+Gamblord I miss Lawrence though...

And Helga :(

+Gamblord Helga is gone?!?! Nooooooooo

+That One Video Gamer Don't worry, man. I don't like the new Sheepinator design anyway. :P

please do The Evil Within

You didn't disappoint anyone, it's good that you make these edits explaining errors :)

jirard im begging you do the entire cratchet series. ittl make me forget gregs gone :'(

+That One Video Gamer Well, technically, you DID show the Sheepinator, but the model that was originally used for the old games rather than the reboot. The one you actually mixed up was the Groovitron, where you showed a picture of the Pre-Order Bouncer weapon instead. Of course I'm saying this for trivia sake, not to make you feel bad.

he probably just got it or something for the background of the set hes recording in

He does mention fans would mail him games to review so

He also has an entire production team that may have played the series and supplied the games.

floating helmets

A gamer like him, you know they've collected so many games, that it is maintaining their future video game agenda.

Dude the flamethower is in the og ratchet and clank and some others

dr nefarious was in the original game, he just wasn't shown until UYA, he created the amoeboids.

Same

That's 11% true, and I wish they would just remake deadlocked or any of the others for the PS4 but this is all I have for my Father fix RN 😥

Who hurt you?

+Brocktimus Prime True enough, Chairman Drek in the first game was far more evil.

+ThePalerider12 Yeah Drek was really castrated in this game, along with the original more fleshed out development the characters had in the original game. Ratchet was honestly a selfish bastard with a adventurous heart of gold in the first game, hardly a bad person but still, and the growth he underwent with Clank throughout it was what made the foundation of the friendship the characters would later have.

+Brocktimus Prime ...I'm fairly certain it's ALWAYS been light-hearted despite there being a dark story when you actually think about it.

bubbajoe117 Agreed!

+Brocktimus Prime As someone who's played since the start of the franchise, I never liked Ratchet's dickish attitude to Clank in the first game. It was inconsistent from level to level and just wasn't good story telling, IE you probably shouldn't dislike the character you're playing as. I feel like I see a lot of people defending things like this because its old and what they grew up with, rather than in an objective matter. This remake is a net gain on all fronts as far as I'm concerned, save maybe Starlene's design and the lack of that goofy easter egg.

Arin worthy

It's also released at half the price of most retail games, so you are getting a pretty great bang-to-buck ratio. And hey, if you want more, the older games aren't going anywhere.

+Grample Gust Across 2 playthroughs :P Although new game+ adds some extra stuff.

+Grample Gust to be fair tho the games are short: i remember one summer several years ago i burned though the original series in 4-5 days total

+Grample Gust That's why they have new game plus with every single game :)

he was playing tracks from it in the review, so i think he knows. David Bergeaud is amazing and it's a pity he stopped scoring the games.

Looks like he still prefers the gameplay of the 2016 over the ps2 ones after seeing his review of them

You know I played the reboot first and went back for the older ones, and the soundtrack in the new one is not bad either. I like the 2002 soundtrack better, but I can’t dog on it it sounds pretty good especially the first couple tracks in the reboot

+Noeabe Carrillo Don't forget how the metal in James Cameron's Avatar is called Unobtainium. Somehow even less original. Go figure.

+Aresh Septango and it doesn't look like they have the flight stages or boots and hats.

You unlock hats with the golden bolts, from the Captain Quark one, to the Snagglebeast hat.

+Aresh Septango It's a shame because Nefarious is a great villain and all.... but so was Drek, originally. It's like Insomniac really just wanted to get Drek out of the way so they can make everything about Nefarious instead. Which I disliked.

Antiform Well Nefarious became the main antagonist for the series when Quark became good so they want to start that off early which is a shame because I loved that last few scenes in Ratchet and Clank.

+Aresh Septango It's basically a reboot between both the first and second game, both telling the story of Chairman Drek, and telling the story of how Nefarious became the evil ROBOT overlord he is in the originals. We never really got to see him as a squishy, just as a robot overlord with a space butler. It's fresh paint, on a fresh canvas, giving us the same picture.

Setting up for the sequel.

+Ethan Prince So it's more like "you got a pet dodo? How!?" than anything else.

Volvagia1927 precisely

He was only the last of his kind in the newer series, in the original series there was a notable Lombax character in the second game. Although the second game took place in a different galaxy from the first so... One Lombax on average per Galaxy is still freakishly, astronomically rare.

Ethan Prince I never thought they were racist.

.......underrated? what the heck gives you that idea? they are some of the PlayStation icons, up their with jak and Daxter, Laura croft and so on. every PlayStation fan knows these characters and their games. and each has their own massive fanbase to take in consideration as well. trust me, these game series are far from underrated. real underrated games/series are the dark cloud (dark chronicle in the UK) series, brutal legend, blue dragon, and so on.

Lara recently jumped ship to MS, though RotTR is coming to PS4 in Winter...

SolarstrikeVG well old before reboot Laura croft. Nathan Drake would be the better example.

Master Illusio It's Lara, not Laura.

SolarstrikeVG I'll spell it how I feel. Never was a real fan of hers anyway so it really doesn't matter to me. Long as people know who I'm talking about right?

+Game Over I prefer Up Your Arsenal, but Ratchet and Clank 2 really did raise the bar and improve on the first game in every way

+PervertedNovaxc3 It was really hard tho.

I only have 1&3.

Game Over Wait which one? 3? I never found that one particularly difficult, except for maybe Nefarious's boss fight at the end

+PervertedNovaxc3 Is it me? Or did any else think that the Nefarious fight from the third game was really hard. Even on challenge mode with everything at max level.

every character just denies angela ever existed and its great

But Is Angela really a lombax? It was never stated, apart from her being very similar to Ratchet, and having 5 fingers. The only character we know for sure is a lombax is Azimuth from ACiT.

Pretty sure it's canon.

Kibop actually a Crack in time supposedly confirms it but at the same time insomniac said once or twice she's only a similar species. Hence being twice as tall. In cannon she could very well be a hybrid between a Lombax and another species.

@@Skyfire-dy4yw can confirm, was actually replaying it, and they mentioned they were on the hunt for her, and called her a lombax. She is also confirmed to just be what all female lombaxs look like, since they don't have tails. Also, the poor male news anchor got a rude comment on the subject.

flip that’s the first thing I said 2 min into the video. The 2016 just went through the motions while the 2002 game was more meaningful.

@@Jtob410 I agree. I think the originals characters are better but I do think its funny how the reboot is telling it through quarks perspective which is why ratchet is so different compared to his og version.

+That One Video Gamer Does anybody remember the contest with the first R&C where you needed to design a weapon and if yours was picked out it would be put into the sequel.

+WOAW WOWOWOW No, but I'm pretty sure the one giant energy saw gun from Crack in Time was the winner of a fan contest

The Pun Gun It fires physical puns at Mach speeds you could say it's quite PUNishing

+That One Video Gamer I'd probably make a penis gun that shoots suspicious white fluids, but that would be too obvious, too overdone and too immature. No, what I'd make is a rocket-launcher that fires boxing gloves like from old school cartoons

That One Video Gamer​ dank meme cannon m9 😎

+Andrew Hooven I think the only game I've ever played more than Up Your Arsenal is Resident Evil 4.

+Andrew Hooven dont forget Tools of Destruction and Into the Nexus!

+ootdega Resident Evil 4 was an amazing game

as much as I love the ratchet and clank games I have to admit the first one doesn't hold up too well. I think of it like the first assassins creed game. definitely play it it's the start of something big but you can definitely feel that it's a little dated.

AMR15x Still better than the reboot though

Issa banger

SpongicX same took me an hour

SpongicX just did it today.

SpongicX Would you like a medal? His point was that it's EASIER, not that it's impossible

Liar

I got them all before cause I wanted to get that special item which was not quite as useful as I'd hoped but hey I still feel accomplished

No, no the PS3 trilogy is absolutely horrible. It drops frames frequently and the helmets don't freaking fit Ratchet. Wtf, how the fuck did they manage that. I found that the brighter colours made the graphics of the originals games look awful.

Bevan Smith ikr but since its on the ps3 i just thought of it. but play the ps2 versions if you can

Yeah true. I am also worried about the Crash trilogy going to be released on PS4 as the said a "Remastered" series. So if they do what they did with the Ratchet and Clank games with a PSone series, we're not going to have a good time. If they to a full re-imagining like this game it should be a lot more fun. I'm not optimistic though.

I just ordered a PS3 for it lol

ps2 trilogy is way better though

+SBCannon Nah, there are a couple others. Played ratchet and clank 2 and crack in time? Yeah. Can't blame you for saying that though haha

Bozolink Well yeah there's Angela and the one from the Future series. But the main point of the comment was that most people think they're extinct lol

+SBCannon Angela was never actually confirmed as a lombax though

+The dirty midget Actually she was, it was mentioned in the Future games on the Radio how she had went missing.

no he isnt

+Slyron gotta admit, the way they explained that in the movie cracked me up XD more the imagery, but still.

+Slyron Yeah, they could have made that a little clearer in the game/movie for newcomers. The whole point of everyone mentioning his species is because they were supposed to be extinct, as well as it making him easy to identify on sight

+Slyron It's a bit weird, because they didn't brought that plot point up until in tools of destruction which i believe still is within the timeline of the first 3 ratchet and clank and you see 2 female lombaxes in 2 different games, Angela Cross from going commando and Sasha Phyronix from up your arsenal and Ratchet seems to have neutral reactions to them and they seem to be treated like any normal species, nor is rarity brought up. Hell I didn't even know Ratchets species name until Deadlock with hat comment about the lombax ears selling more then the Ace hardlight figures. Sasha is also apparently mentioned in tools of destruction but I missed that and maybe Angela? I guess they rebooted the game in order to transit that Ratchet is alone in the universe thing more smoothly, because they somehow forgot about it? Or maybe there going to have those 2 and make their reveals more emotional or surprising. Anyhow I kinda hope Angela does come back, she was one of my favorite characters in the series.

rorrim0 Sasha's not a Lombax. She's the daughter of the galactic president.

Antiform I did read a bit more and it says shes a Cazar but can you really blame for making that mistake, she looks like she can be a sub species of lombax, anyone that doesn't explain Angela.

+Atticus Jackson It IS called Unobtanium in Avatar. XD

Weird. Wonder why he thought otherwise.

+Atticus Jackson I think that Rarubtinium is the currency of this game

I believe it's "Raritanium"

GUYS : Raritanium + Unobtainium = Rarubtainium . BELEIVE IT OR NOT, IT'S A JOKE ! :O

It's fps is 30 because that's its main fps. It runs at 30 to compensate for the great graphics, it's not due to lag.

@@charKT-7461 and drops alot

@@rayyisbaee9132 if your fps is dropping even when it's running at 30, you might need to get a new PS4.

@@charKT-7461 i have a ps4 pro that I bought in january. Every other game works fine

Rayy Is Baee, then it’s either your game or console there’s something wrong with, because my PS4 Pro runs at 30 at all times.

Well in this dimension...

+Michael Aiyedun In the main universe,there's also that Lombax from R&C Locked and Loaded

Except for that other female lombax in the second game.

+Tyler Lindsey-Delise which we never see again for some odd reason even though she was very cool and I wanted her to return to be ratchets love interest

+Bulink She was basically Lara Croft but with more sass and slapstick

+ZwitchUp He says plenty of times that he hasn't played the others, of course he wount know that raritanium shows up the other games and before avatar

+ZwitchUp Not to mention that it isn't even called rareobtanium in avatar. It's Unobtanium.

+ZwitchMasterHD Both Raritanium and Unobtanium as well as a few others are pretty standard engineering slang for materials with impossible properties. You'll see it in prototype designs or fantasy designs like space elevators. Generally these materials are used as stand-ins for materials that need to be developed to achieve some goal and fall between known materials and neutronium (a material made out of pure neutrons which is also a fantasy with the maximum possible mass and strength as it is essentially shaped custom atoms with no charge)

martinxy95 He did say he looked up the other games So he's just misinforned

Yes he has the game, but that doesn't means he has played it. I have a lot of PS2/3 games, but I haven't played them. What I am gettting at is, even when someone has a game it doesn't means that the person has played the game.

+capy bara He usually puts something that pertains to the video not random ones, and he's never played another ratchet and clank game so you wouldn't see it.

capy bara I know that's what I was saying.

SonicMaster211 why the hell would you buy a game and not play it??? That makes no sense to me

@@Badboy20400 I have a hell of a back library of games I own that I haven't played yet. I will eventually

+Spoil Sport Glad I wasn't the only one that was thinking that! It's been, well, seven years since I saw Avatar though so I didn't wanna call it out and be wrong lol

+The Golden Bolt Not to mention the fact that raritanium was included in Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando from 2003.

But I think we all have to admit... they're all pretty stupid names haha

+Spoil Sport Grade-school me didn't mind back in 2002, but yeah, I agree.

evilyoshi18 True! haha

+Silim's Let's Plays It doesn't run at 60 fps.

***** Ah dammit, it was too good to be true. Maybe next generation we'll get consoles that aren't woefully underpowered.

Silim's Let's Plays Keep your fingers crossed, and so do I.

As much as I hoped it would run at 60fps, it's pretty much confined to running at 30fps with some (but not excessive) frame drops. But yes, besides that and perhaps the overall story, this is a solid reboot.

You're on the right track but do you want to hear the funnier thing. Its a game based off of a movie based off of the first game of the series told through a different character's perpesective...

Drew Orscheln I don’t take great issue with the voice acting itself but I despise the character animations. They’re so god damn lifeless and ironically inanimate. Characters are just staring into the nothingness when talking. How is it that a game done in the early 2000 managed to make its characters more animated and alive feeling than a game in the 2010’s is beyond me. Bad writing too. It’s a crying shame and yet so many people have fallen for this game. I’m stunned every time someone that said they’ve played the OG games that would them say that this game is acceptable and/or even better

The developer got flack for how they portrayed Ratchet in the first game and immediately changed him in the sequel.

I was also disappointe by the weapons. was hoping for tesla claw at least. An how awesome would it have been if there were more end game levels like Oltanis and hoven. The game was fantastic up until the first visit to quartu, from that point on the story becomes too disjointed and rushed and the levels feel "thrown in" for extra length.

Bevan Smith i agree kevin james richardson played a very serious and threatening drek which made his comedic moments way more funny this new drek feels like a joke from the start

Mathieu Leblanc True. But Ratchet acting the way he did in the first was good for the development of his character later on in titles

Kevin James Richardson? This isn't The King of Queens lol. It's Kevin Michael Richardson. Also, the current game gave Ratchet & Clank NO development time. They hardly even make eye contact in the game. Nobody has personality or character animation, the jokes are the scum on the bottom of the bucket tier and "le maymays xD". Ratchet is too similar to Clank in interests, when in the first game they were polar opposites. And as stated before, going into the second game, you can really see how much Ratchet matured as a character when he realized how important his actions were.

+MLGF I know. I feel like it's been teased for over a year now.

+zerolbez l why?

+zerolbez l never played it so just wondering

+MLGF I hope he plays the PS3 version and not the GC one just cuz the original game by todays standards looks like shit

I miss the Casino in Vesperia, man... PS3 english port when ;_;

+Stephen Kelly Well, to be fair, the RYNO in R&C 2016 sort of plays a knock-off version of the 1812. You're thinking more of the Mega RYNO V from A Crack In Time, which *does* play a small snippet of the 1812 Overture on loop as you hold the trigger down.

Actually, the Insomniac Museum only appears in the following Ratchet and Clank games: - Going Commando - Up Your Arsenal - A Crack in Time - And this one

Thanks for the correction; still does not excuse the completionist from GOING TO IT!

FROM NOT GOING TO IT* Grammar correction.

I went there but I didn't really get it. I guess it showed all kinds of stuff from the previous games but this is my first Ratchet and Clank game so I just checked every hangar out and left.

I guess they went in a new direction with it... The original Insomniac museums, notable from Rachet and Clank 2 and 3, along with Crack in Time we're always a lot of fun to unlock and to look forward to. Mostly because of what was in each one; they would include enemies without their textures, small mini games that never made the final cut, all sorts of things. Examples in each museum: In 2 and 3 of Rachet and Clank, they had an effect generator where you could make your own bullets pull off interesting colors and effects. In 2, there was a cut race track they left in the games code; you can race it, but there's no competition. In Crack in Time, there was a setup to fight and lead Argonians (Red-Warrior-Like-Alien-Race) against other Argonians and switch fighting tactics mid fight. In 3, there we're extra hacking puzzles that we're more difficult to solve, though if you beat them in the said museum, you would get a voice clip of the developers talking about the game, the development cycle and the museum. It was content like this in those museums that was always a joy to literally look forward to. While the museum in the PS4 is a little disappointing to me, it was a trip down memory lane for me and each of those pod-bay door rooms included gear from every Rachet and Clank game except for the Video Room. That just included the very first Rachet and Clank Game Commercials + All the Games Cut scenes.

+Guilherme Brasil There's also Nefarious being a game or two early and Ratchet being much less of an asshat from the original.

julie martinez More like fuzzball.

+Nana-Kyoto I KNOW!

It's an awesome system! :)

+Nana-Kyoto Ikr, i'd want to buy one too :3

+Nana-Kyoto But my only feeling is, is that, there isn't all that much on their's either, at least for me. Uncharted sure, and this, and KH 2.8. But other than that, not much else. For me. Either way I agree.

+Nana-Kyoto Yeah, might get one just so I can get the ratchet and clank bundle :3

How do you know?

+tjlnintendo It's really clear that it runs at 30 when you play it.

solid 30 is just fine . so who cares?

+Pelaajakingi There is a CLEAR difference.

+tjlnintendo They have bad TVs, its 60 fps

There's one game when mr Zurkon has a family

Same and that one game was in the nexus

+Hot Rodd24 And the ps4 Ratchet and Clank, but Zurkon Jr is a weapon and Mrs Zurkon is a boss.

Crates? You waste mr zurkons time with crates

+patyos2 I kinda still liked A Crack In Time just a bit more.

I'd say Up Your Arsenal.

i'd say Super Agent Clank

+patyos2 Crack In Time and the original were the best imo. Btw is that a nymph avatar ? :)

+patyos2 Personally I liked Crack in Time more. Best in the series imo

+Crape Maybe it's apart of his backlog.

Totally with you there.

Sony could buy it but unfortunately I don't think they are going to do it.

+RJTheHero The worst part is that Spyro wasn't supposed to be in Skylanders at all. They slapped his name onto a generic dragon design to exploit the nostalgia crowd.

+Antiform I heard that before all the amiibo stuff Activision tried to convince Nintendo to let them use their IP for skylanders (to add nostalgia effect) and, of course, Nintendo rejected the offer (probably because they don't like to handle their IP to other companies) but Activision still wanted some nostalgia to sell this new type of game and... they see Spyro.

... And then Nintendo ended up making Bowser/DK Skylanders anyway. Wonderful.

+hhheeeccckkk526 While the gameplay in the reboot is far superior to the original first game, I still have to agree with you. They left out the differences in character between Ratchet and Clank and had Drek as a villain I just could not take seriously. They really should have left the story and the amount of planets untouched.

+hhheeeccckkk526 Yeah honestly I liked the original game better too. I liked the fact that Ratchet and Clank didn't quite get along and had a lot of different ideas. The character development was so much better.

+Void (SheldonCoopersBrain) I don't think you were meant to take drek seriously. Also, this game is 40 dollars not 60, so I'd assume that means they had a smaller budget and had less to work with. If I'm right which, don't take my word for it, they probably couldn't fit in all the content they wanted.

Sanic Fast That might be true and would be quite unfortunate.

+Sanic Fast The fact that we aren't meant to take Drek seriously is demeaning to what was formerly a really memorable villain. I will say, at the fucking LEAST, the movie still has Drek land on his new planet and get hit with the deplanetizer, UNLIKE the game which doesn't show it (and also, for whatever reason, has a completely different ending??)

also congrats on 600 subscribers Jirad!

He has 600,000, not 600...

+Shrek The Ogre yeah ikr I just noticed that. I dun goofed. XD

The first one was the easiest to 100% imo. The hardest for me was 3 actually, because of the qeark minigames time trials

the fps jumps between 30fps and 60fps

+Pelaajakingi No. The originals and the PS3 remasters run at 60. This runs at 30. Go see a doctor if you can't see the difference.

+Pelaajakingi No it doesn't?

IKR?!

+TeckGeck Yea I was really disappointed too. Kevin is soooo good, great at serious roles and comedic ones. I guess he doesn't really fit the character though with his voice. He fits better with big, burly characters.

They are two very, very different takes on the character, though I personally prefer Paul Giamatti's Drek.

Uh... because celebrity? But Giamatti's Drek isn't bad.

+Antiform they I guess decided to do something different

Agreed, it's by no means a bad game. But as a R&C veteran as well (the trilogy was my childhood basically), it pains me that the reboot completely ignores the original storyline. For example, galactic rangers? What? And why is nefarious here?

And why does Drek suck so much in this one?

Dalzombie Now that spyro is coming out though, I think we'll find something good here.

Agreed but the gameplay is not as good.

MysterIschism Its called "Unobtanium"

Yessssss. This Completionist dude needs to stick to reviewing games he actually knows.

yeh i always remember that cus of how dumb it was when i first heard it... i guess these guys just warped it in their heads to sound more like the ratchet and clank version by mistake

@@Auron710 Yeah, but that turned what would have been a kinda funny bit into some cringe-inducing attempt at a joke...

+Blaze Does Gaming I did just that already! xD I was upset at first tho cuz I preordered it but in the shop I pre ordered it from it didn't do the bouncer so I didn't get it :(

I'm pretty sure it was only if you pre-ordered on Amazon because it mentioned the bouncer code there.

Blaze Does Gaming You could on the Ps store aswell. I already ordered a code tho so I am getting it. Just unfortunate that i had to pay an extra fiver on it.

+ionic0 well, fuck that
