Ratchet & Clank on PS4 Actually Sucks 

Ratchet was way more interesting in PS2. He wasnt a massive Qwark fanboy, that however was Clank. But Ratchet was more smarter and cynical. I always felt Ratchet and Clank 1-3 was aimed towards kids and teenagers. But ever since "A Crack in Time" game, it has been mainly aimed at just kids in general. It just lost that edge and so did the design aswell

This video is great. I’m glad to be here before it hits a million views! I also strangely feel like playing Jak and daxter

It's actually not a remake at all. The 2016" Remake " as everyone is calling is in actuality the story of a holofilm based on the events of the first game told by a former Captian to his cellmate. This is proven by the line " They are making a game , based off a holofilm , based off my life ?!?!". The holofilm is the movie that was released in 2016. The "Game" is the game based off said film . We are playing that game in the 2016 version it just has quarks storytelling being narrated over it. Keep in mind Quark has been in jail and is very full of himself. So being Quark he tells a extremely exaggerated version of the first games story with stuff added in by his cell mate who has seen the holofilm . The entirety of the 2016 version is just Quark being Quark telling a huge story. Parts he doesn't know he just makes up or its added in by his cellmate who has watched the holofilm and thus is not a reboot at all ! Don't hate on it love Quark XD

Rondo and Robot I'm fucking dying

THE lowest point in the series history, almost killed the series in my opinion

Honestly, my probably biggest gripe about the game. If they're gonna give Ratchet armor in this game, why didn't they just have optional armor upgrades mainly either for skill issue purposes or design purposes. At least when you collect enough gold bolts you can change the design of the armor to PRESET color palettes.

"There is inherently meaningless about Rondo and Clank." ....Rondo and Clank? I thought this was Rondo and Robot? Are you even reviewing the same game??? GOOOSSSHHHH!!

I loved this game until I went back and played the originals again

Infinite Warfare, but it's for younger folks. Also, this is still better than any CoD games today.

I was a little thrown off at first but then really liked you style. I am one that never played the original so this was my first experience. You were right in hoping that this was able to do well enough for the new to R&C to make them want more of the series. I agree with a lot of what you said with your analysis but it still brings fond memories for me and makes me want it to be better in seeing what it was and could be.

I would like you to review the ps5 ratchet edit: i see you hid it in your "A Complete Critique of the ENTIRE Ratchet & Clank Series" video

Look - the plumber's... back

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Rift Apart video on Monday! -- UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Hey everyone, hope your holiday season's safe and jolly! Just wanted to update that everything below is still relevant, but I wanted to add that it looks like the Rift Apart video will be a January release. It's had more than a few rewrites and restructurings, but I'm pretty pleased with the current skeleton and am working every day to get it out soon! Also, I do have a video planned for talking about my personal 2021 GotY, but I can't say yet if it'll be ready before or after Rift Apart, which is my main concern given how long it's taken! Again, super sorry for the long wait, but it's a hefty-ass video and I wanna make sure it caps off this channel's coverage of Ratchet & Clank right! Talk to y'all soon, and see you next year! Got some big plans... -- Hey everyone, is Scott! Since I'm not yet a big enough channel to have a Community tab, I thought I'd hijack the pinned comment of this video to address the obvious question going around: when the heck is the Rift Apart video coming? Short (and probably obvious) answer? It's coming, but it's gonna be a while longer! The Rift Apart analysis/critique has become a FAR bigger video than I had anticipated! In fact, with current prospects, it's due to be a longer video than even 'The Last of Us Part II Actually Sucks'... yikes... This has been a super difficult video to script and put together, I'll say that. I'm trying to balance thinking about the game on its own merits, while this time embracing the (unfavorable, spoiler alert) comparisons to previous games, all while balancing real-life responsibilities in the background since, y'know, I can't make a job of this quite yet. It's gonna be at least another month before it goes up, and I'm sorry about that! I do feel really bad to leave such a long gap between releases, so I've been considering tossing out a smaller / different video or two to entertain you in the meantime, either compiling all previous Ratchet videos in one, or maybe pulling from stream highlights, I dunno, still thinking about it. If you see this, lemme know what you think. Thanks for all the support, y'all, I mean it. It's a little thing, but since starting this series, over 100 new subscribers have officially joined the channel, which is nuts to me. Hopefully see you sooner rather than later

Totally accurate video

it was ALRIGHT but i mean could have been wayy better. Me personally i did not experience any glitches or anything but even if this game sucked rift apart made up for it and i know that the story sucked in ratchet and clank 2016 but the gameplay was fun atleast.

It just looks bad in general, The PS2 And PS3 and PSP are better

I totally agree with this video.

I have to play It, but thous far i understand, they 're trying to make a game based on a movie on a short time. Never like the original game. Hope in the future they gonna make a 2.0 version of the original calling David Bergeau tò redo the soundtrack in stereo

Subbed.

Love the humor of this video. Especially Rondo and Robot. Subbed.

Fun gameplay and great graphics are the only positives imo. They ruined it with the bland, pandering garbage story, constant talking, and emotionless cutscenes. I blame the movie for the story being so bad. Rift apart is much better but nothing will beat the OG trilogy. Wish they would’ve just remade the 1st game with these graphics and gameplay and changed nothing with the story.

20:45 exactly. If it were just called "Ratchet & Clank: Qwarktastic" or so. I would just say, OK. Really low Budget RaC but OK. But now, it says, hey I am your beloved PS2 Game in Larger, bigger and better, but it is the opposite. It is really the OG Game. The OG Game was Platformer Fist and Shooter Second. This Game is Shooter First Platformer Second. This is the reason for the hate.

The REE heard 'round the world...

Ppl hating on ratchet n clank? That’s new. Going to a whole another level. And I holding my self to not explode with this video.

With mods you could fix this game some what, add original music, remove the cutscenes and voices lol

If we would have gotten just a remake of Ratchet and Clank 1 with strafing included, I would have been happy.

If this is your first RaC then yeah, you could be impressed. But if you are a long time fan, then you think yeah, this is the real basics of a modern RaC. Where is the stuff that makes it stand out? (Graphics don't count, RaC1, ToD all were awesome for it's time. But with Rift Apart you can't really say this is the best, if you even like the Artstyle in the first place) It has nothing to stand out. And if you play this Game, you have 0 idea how the OG Game is. Even when it is a reimagining, I think you should have a feeling for how the old game was. This Game is a entirely different Genre.

11:40 Thanks.... finally someone catches the Problem with the levelsystem. As much as I like the leveling of Weapons, it has this big downside you mention.

this video deserves more love for sure

i think the reboot is a VERY fun game, maybe even more so than the original, but yeah the story and cutscenes are bottom tier. Even secret agent clank has better story and character.

Next vid when?

11:03 Fortnite boogie bomb? 🤨

You’re page is sooo underrated

Its a good game just to short 4hours and the game is out pff

It is pretty bad lol

Eh i don't really care still had fun with the game.

Are you Southern

TBH you hate all the games at this point. I still respect your opinion tho

But this is the game i love

i know people are going to hate me for this but I like this one better then playing the first one again the first age badly I have them both or the three games on ps2 and ps3 and i never beat the first one until i got 2016 i wish they would make remake the other two games wait I forgot we will never get that because 90s and early 2000s will never stop hating on shit that is not from the 90s or 2000s so my gen cannot have shit seriously like come on let us have something.

Sorry but his armor set is cool. I can give the game that at least. The blue one mostly

This was so disappointing, ratchet was more cringe then ever, loved the original serie 1-3 but the newer ones just don’t have the same vibe to it, to geeky, childish humor etc and the game just missing personality
