I really liked Ratchet's personality in the first game. He wasn't a pushover. And I'm glad they actually let him get revenge on Qwark and it didn't lead to some tired, worn-out moral about how revenge is wrong.

@lukemorgan6166 Год назад

I mean we didn't splatter his brains out on that planet unfortunately

@user-pi1lb4tf2f 11 месяцев назад

Well it's not that kind of game. But ultimately, the game is about space exploration and Racthet's maturity over the years aged well becoming more selfless, especially when every person he encounters actually are more of a survivalist than a hero. At least Ratchet for one is a thrill seeker.

@synysterdawn8913 10 месяцев назад

It still does present Ratchet’s pursuit of vengeance as wrong though, and Ratchet admits that himself in the game. Like he still gets to kick Quark’s ass, but it ultimately didn’t do anything for his development and was just a selfish waste of time.

@imafreakinninja12 10 месяцев назад

@@synysterdawn8913 Why is it selfish? Why does Ratchet have an obligation to save the galaxy? Why can't other citizens get their asses of the couch and fight Drek then?

@synysterdawn8913 10 месяцев назад

@@imafreakinninja12 I mean, don't take it from me, Ratchet himself is the one who says he was being selfish and that the situation with Drek is far bigger than him and his personal vendettas. It wasn't until the latter 3rd of the game or so that he decides somebody needs to stop Drek and that he's the best guy for the job. And given the way the PS2 games satirized hyper consumerism and capitalism with Ratchet being the outsider able to cut through the bullshit with his genuine attitude, he was in the best position to stop Drek and took it upon himself once he pulled his head out of his ass. Even after beating the game, the helpdesk robot acknowledges that Ratchet is Gadgetron's most valued customer now that Drek is gone, so not even the most powerful corporation in that galaxy was willing to do anything about it because they still profited from Drek's actions. And not many other citizens had a little robot fall onto their planet with an infobot detailing Drek's plan who can also start their hand-built ship for them to go on a planet-hopping adventure. Plus Drek was being actively antagonistic towards them from the very start of the game to the point where he's going to personally destroy Veldin, so it's not like there isn't any personal shit there. Also, does it really need explaining why going on a personal revenge trip is selfish when you could be stopping a guy from destroying entire planets, who then also later reveals that he's doing it all purely for money? "WhY iS iT sElFiSh?" like c'mon dude, you ever heard of Spider-Man? Great power, great responsibility, all that jazz?

@ShizuruNakatsu Год назад

This is one of my favourite things about the original games. My biggest gripe with the reboot was that Ratchet wanted to be a hero from the start. He was already too pure and innocent. And that's another thing, I miss the adult jokes and innuendos that were *abundant* in the original trilogy. I love the plot, and the depth of the story and the character arcs, in A Crack in Time. But in the newer games, I just miss what made the original trilogy so special. I need more of Ratchet's sarcasm - and his original design.

@yoshihammerbro435 Год назад

Ya I mean the adult jokes were sorta pubescent-school-maley though.

@The_Knowledgeseekers Год назад

It make sense with the first game that ratchet became more than happy to be a hero, but you could still see that selfish side of him in the older games. Deadlock come to mind with that. It's why the reboot is just bad, it take what made the first game good in term of character and remove it.

Combat was great in the first game. The two can't even be compared, really. The first game was more like DOOM Eternal honestly: you had to match the correct weapon type for the obstacle of enemies ahead. The second game and beyond the combat is much more about how good your movement is to dodge enemy bullets and melee attacks.

@lukemorgan6166 Год назад

Ratchet and clank is is one of the few games that was a masterpiece AND had a masterpiece sequel. A very rare thing. Both voice actors were great and suited the personality of ratchet. In the first game ratchet is just minding his business and who can blame him, he's just one guy, a mechanic at that trying to save the galaxy before becoming a reluctant hero simply because he can't afford to ignore the problem, to let somebody else deal with it... However only he can do the impossible and in the second game he's a little more cocky because of his training and previous experience and the voice actor (Johnny test guy 😂) does a perfect job of acting that out. One of my favourite games and they still hold up to this day

@Hysteria98 Год назад

This is still the best R&C, by a mile. This game was just perfect.

@heavymetalthunder4934 8 месяцев назад

One thing I especially enjoyed about R&C1 is that Ratchet gets to exact his revenge on Qwark. So many other franchises would have gone with the option where he chases revenge for most of the story only to finally realize that it isn't worth it or something like that.

The friendship between ratchet and clank is strained throughout but when the going gets tough, they're got each others back quite literally.

@nerdstorma8427 Год назад

It's such a shame that such a unique and iconic franchise lost everything that made it special, opting to try and do the same thing as everyone else. Especially It's style, personality and context that communicated the character's role in the universe. It's commentary on selfishness and greed in a widespread future of people desensitized to the tyranny of corporate control. But DEFINITELY It's characters more than anything else, have been wrung completely dry of substance and... edge that makes sense for the world that they are meant to interact in and embody. I'm so sick of people defending the modern writing in the franchise when it's contributing to killing something I have cared about for years. Rift Apart and 2016 look objectively terrible and people are like "I mean it's still Ratchet so it's ok" these characters are becoming generic, cardboard archetypes when their initial concepts were anything BUT generic. "E for EVERYONE" doesn't mean "for toddlers." I'd say "for kids" but there are probably kids' shows that respect the intelligence of their audience more than modern Ratchet and Clank does. It's ironic that Ratchet and Clank has become the very thing it's made fun of for years: the peak of soulless corporate lies that are shiny on the outside but lack integrity beyond making money. Shameful. But you do an awesome job of showing what made this franchise so great, and what Insomniac needs to learn to ensure this franchise doesn't go the way of it's siblings, Jak and Sly. Thank you for making this. The more people that demand better, the better these games will be.

@toranine09 Год назад

so *this* is why the reboot bothered me so much! having played the original at such an early age, i kinda passively absorbed the story and never had the deeper understanding of the writing. when the 2016 reboot came out, the whole thing felt kinda... flat? it puts the duo on much similar footing, and rather than the jaded smartass and naive emotionally driven characters we get in the original games, ratchet is this starry eyed underdog who's primary motivation is to prove himself and clank's the sense-talking straight man. in that sense, their writing is kinda inverted. much of their interactions in the original games' riffed off of their first characterisations - the kind of quips and digs that friends who forged a bond as the result of some shared hardship make. the reboot? they were kinda already a unit as soon as they met. they were already a team. working together. the reboot kinda just bins all that development.

@lukemorgan6166 Год назад

I'd say ratchets attitude was more about being a mechanic dragged into combat, betrayal and being a forced hero all because clank wanted to find quark. I'd be annoyed at clank naivety too but its this dismissive attitude that then turns aggressive before accepting he has to save the galaxy that makes his personality great and makes the bond between ratchet and clank great, sure they got on each others nerves but in the end they never really hated each other

Well Ratchet and Clank works for the same reason Banjo Kazooie worked before, 2 characters with movesets that compliment each other and the same kinda personallity. Of course Banjo and Kazooie were way more timid, while kazooie made some really dark jokes especially in tooie. if they had an argument with one another they would totally be in the same boat however they split up without that and you notice how their movesets relied on another especially when you first do it in witchy world

@user-pi1lb4tf2f 11 месяцев назад

Ratchet Deadlocked Proved Ratchet didn't need Clank. However, it also proves Clank is a bot of his own. In Crack in time it even proves that Clank is powerful on his own right and simply joins Ratchet for the sake of being with him in an adventure. The thing is, they're partners and treat each other as equals. Overtime, Ratchet didn't need to rely on Clank explaininh Sci-fi stuff. And Clank can even be given an upgrade to fight just like Ratchet like in the 4 Player Games. They just stayed together for the sake of being together as best friends.

@nehehehgraylois Месяц назад

That one Canadian short from a few years ago was really god damn annoying to watch because the constant fighting gives me the idea that this is what writers THINK the original dynamic between Ratchet and Clank was. Just "Ratchet is a whiny bitch" without any of the context or nuance that justifies the actions and general jadedness Ratchet has in the original game. Like yeah, Clank was on the right side of the argument but that doesn't mean Ratchet isn't justified in being selfish after finding out that the world outside his "rock" sucks and then getting nearly killed because of Clank's naiveté. It also gives his character an edge that a lot of other leads don't seem to have, at least in scrimblos. He's a blowhard, he's a wiseass, he's impulsive, but not in a "Haha isn't he so funny???" way, more in a way that makes his character interesting and memorable.
