Ratchet & Clank Used to Be Great 

Having grown up on the first three, I'll always go back to 1 for the atmostphere and GC for the gameplay. Uya is fun too, but not on the level of amazing as the first two

ikr? I felt Ratchet was justified in his anger towards Clank, and if it were me, I'd just be like "Alright, I'm done with this adventure. Let me go back to doing my own thing on my own planet."

I'd agree if not for the fact that they are constantly in shoot outs and shit is going crazy. Ratchet knows what he signs up for anywyas

Well, I mean sure the first few times were justified. The other times not so much. I mean Clank made an honest mistake in that situation. He was just born with instructions to find Captain Qwark, he literally couldn't have known at that point.

@@nickNcar Yeah I can agree with you there, they do kinda overstate his anger a lot

Idk man id be on drugs

Ayo fancy seeing you here if you want to see a good video talking about all that stuff watch the gaming Brits Ratchet & Clank videos specifically why the movie failed and the Golden Bolt makes some good ones too.

I agree with all of this, but I think Insomniac over-corrected with Ratchet's character a bit. Ratchet & Clank are more likable for their reactions to the world around them and the absurdity of their universe than as actual characters. Both of them are pretty much the same people from Going Commando to Deadlocked. And Ratchet only becomes more bland in the future series. But yeah, I still love 'em anyway.

@@SyntheticMan Yeah, futura series while still good, did do some... questionalble things. Especially the recons.

@@SyntheticMan I don't think that is really a case Tools of Destruction Ratchet has a pretty bad fight with Clank and do have their differences still, but it is shown despite the strain they still have the friendship they developed post PS2 era A Crack in Time is rather showing their growth as characters together and how Clank would give up his purpose of being the keeper of time to continue being Ratchet's best friend, and Ratchet would continue his life with Clank rather than go back to the Lombax dimension. Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank have almost identical writing to the PS2 games, with Size Matters Ratchet still being more of a wildcard and Clank being the rational one All 4 One's story focuses more on Qwark and Nefarious's relationship as a point of interest, and Full Frontal Assault has almost no story. Into the Nexus mostly focuses on Ratchet's decision not to look for the Lombaxes. But overall, the games past the first game still do a good job comparing and contrasting ratchet and clank while keeping the friendship they developed in the first game

@@SyntheticMan it's half and half people are also obsessed with the lombaxes

Yes, just yes.

Yes!!!

Best soundtrack in the series

Yep. The OST for the newer games don't even come close to the style of the PS2 games. The OG still being the best.

@@DeadCenterCrow nfs the techno soundtrack as a kid inspired me to love music as an adult

Agreed!

Literaly kiddie shit.

Yeah, they really just made him a side villain and also made him boring, im sad they didn't just remaster. Never played the original but it seems more fun than what I got

@@Zacatito The original is a masterpiece only topped by the sequel.

While I have a soft spot for the re-imagining (it introduced me to the franchise), I have to agree that the original was the better. I also think it was a necessity to both bring in new fans and seeing that the movie was a box office bomb while the game was a financial success probably taught Insomniac Games to stay out of the movie buisness and stick with gaming.

While I agree with you, I'd say this is a bit too much overanalyzing 😂 It's a PS2 Teens videogame, they just wanted a main character that was a bit of a jerk.

@@Talking_Ed i think the fun is in how deep people can go with seemingly surface level content.

@@PiggyMonsta2009 Yeah, people are kinda invested in stuff it's interesting.

@@Talking_Ed a jerk for getting angry at someone who almost got him killed because of naivete? I guess you would be the jerk to get angry at someone when they killed your loved ones according to your dumb logic.

@@randomvideoboy1 Man it's a videogame, chill lol

It's definitely either 1 or Deadlocked that have the best story, every other one has at least one major flaw in its cohesion that once noticed kinda spoils it. I distinctly remember laughing more at 1 than any other game though, more like chuckling actually but still.

@Prince Lorian There actually was a Rachet and clank movie based of the 2016 game and it was pretty awful, but I think the orginal ps2 version had a decent story and had a cool universe

@Prince Lorian Honestly shit like Fast and Furious is no better.

@@kingdomkey2262 I thought the game came after which is why they got to use the movie scenes as cinematics in the 2016 game.

@@kingdomkey2262 The game is actually based on the movie since that was announced first and then they made the game to come out a few weeks before the movie came out. But honestly I felt like the movie worked better than the game version but that can also be with what you watched/played first

Mikey Kelly was the man. Then they cut him off and James Arnold Taylor took the role and has been Rachet ever since. He sucks. Which is one of the reasons why I gave up playing the series after the 3rd game. Gameplay elements were perfect for the original Rachet and Clank. Wasn't a fan of the whole RPG like elements of 2 and 3.

So wait, you gave up playing ratchet and clank because of a new voice actor? Also, what part of the rpg elements did you not like? I hope you don't mean the leveling systems and the experience gained. You literally didn't like that they gave us more content? Help me understand I'm just a bit confused.

@@SaCrEdHuMoR I guess I just wanted something done differently for R&C 2 and 3. But hey, this is just me talking. I'm sure you and others think different, which I do respect.

I feel you. I do prefer his older voice but I loved all of the R&C games. I'm 26 so I was pretty young when the first R&C dropped so I wasn't a super big game expert. I just loved all the advancements since the first. I think Going Commando and Deadlocked were my all time favorites.

@@SaCrEdHuMoR Fair enough, bud.

I have difficulty going back to R&C 1 simply because the other 3 PS2 games in the series are just so much more my style but I will fight anyone who dares to call it clunky!

@@GodOfOrphans I mean more the no strafe(if that is how you spell it). I don't have a problem playing it either haha

@@maxlauman8753 fair point. Edit: btw you spelled strafe correctly since you asked as much in the brackets, so good job ;)

Agreed Deadlocked is the best although rift apart is good Deadlocked is better the first game I always count as the experement just like jak & Dexter, sly cooper the first is always the test

It’s not Sony doing this, Naughty dog said they aren’t interested in making anymore “childish games” and Sanzaru games won’t make a new sly but sucker punch said they’d gladly do it, they just can’t without sanzaru

@@failedsaint lmao I don't what naughty dog was talking about, jak and daxter (after the first game) was never childish it was fucking edgy especially jak 2 with that torture scene I always thought they never made jak 4 due to the budget being shifted to their mainstream games

@@yxrackman2397 That's my issue with Naughty Dog, they have these gems hidden in their vault that they will not work on again, and yet they also refuse to outsource it. I think Jak and Daxter deserved a new game since the ps3. It's a shame we never got it.

Sly 4 was so bad that we never got a new Sly game. I was shocked that we didn’t get anything during the PS4 generation, but sadly a part of me also expected it.

@@failedsaint Sanzuru never made it in the first place. Sucker Punch are the original creators of Sly so they wouldnt need there help just cuz Sanzuru made the 4th game

@Yewlyn I like James Arnold Taylor’s performance, his delivery of some of the lines to the Shaman was funny for example. However, if Mikey Kelly did them his delivery would be better.

We are a rare breed.

Preach

To me it’s The last good ratchet and clank game

@@ImLiam12 i get you but to me there were good rac games after acit, ffs and all4one were meh bit fun with friends, nexus was fun and good but sadly too short, the ps4 game was a bad reimagening and the story was kinda meh, but it was a fun game nontheless and then we get to rift apart, witch i don't get why anybody dislikes, the game looks like a pixar movie, the story is great, the length is decent, the gameplay is great and it has a lot of replayability, it's not the best in the franchise but it's a really good game.

@@anthonykvesic3553 The reason why people like me and many others don’t like the later games mostly after ACIT (which is considered the true last good ratchet and clank game) like Rift Apart is because it’s not ratchet and clank anymore to us, the writing , humour and how ratchet and clank and other main characters act are horrible now and extremely cringey and completely different from what they used to be like, also the series became what it used to poke fun off in the older games especially with ratchet 2016, as for gameplay the guns just don’t feel fun to use anymore and aren’t very creative with a exception of a small few with most just being copied and pasted over into each new game while forgetting what made that weapon fun in the last game it was originally from, also ratchet and clank never shut up in the new games and this wouldn’t be so bad if their dialogue wasn’t so cringe and bland. Overall if you like the new ratchet games I’m happy for you, it’s just for most of us OG Fans of the series we don’t like the direction Insomniac are taking the series.

@Iron Cthulhu Apocalypse Follower people are interested in the lombaxes

Crack in Time was pretty good. I loved the Constructo weapons. I liked how you had a set of traditional weapons that you upgrade normally, but the constructo weapons you can personalize and change how you see fit.. My ideal Ratchet and Clank game would have both constructo weapons and customizable armor.

same here it was actully the second ratchet and clank game i played

The only thing I really disliked about A Crack in Time were the weapons, when playing on higher difficulty you need to ammo dump everything you got, especially with bosses, which caused you to end up with guns that didnt work in that situation. Honestly, half the weapons in the game are useless against bosses. Oh and the lack of the upgrade system.

@@xXYannuschXx I love a crack in time but i gotta agree with you on that point. Honestly it would be pretty neat if they did a remaster of the game and fixed up the story and gameplay. Its a great game but it has the possibility of being better.

Same I played only the ps2 trilogy only now am I trying what I missed out on

Future trilogy wasnt as good as OG.

Future trilogy was good but the OG trilogy just couldnt be beat

@@Adam-nc6qgnot even a competition og beats Everything

Im technically on the generational cusp myself. This was among my first games and i probably wouldn't have gotten into gaming at all without it.

@@wyattbottorff2473 this and Jak and Daxter were the only PS2 games I gave the time of day. Crash team racing doesn’t count because it was on PS1💀

The thing with Uncharted is that it defined a new gen and to some degree started the cinematic game experience. However, in my humble opinion, it does not offer replayability. Unlike R and C where you can play the game with so many options and challenges like wrench only, this weapon only... etc.

@@joaopescusa I don't hate uncharted it's just well I live in a South Africa were the mark up price for games us retarded ( R1800 for a brand new release ) so if a game doesn't give me a shit ton of replayability it's probably gonna leave me sour

@@thefurry7165 🙄🤔🙄 congratulations you sir have played yourself

@@thefurry7165 not really, no weapon upgrades, no armor, no strafing, no game pause when changing guns. Etc.

@@ImLiam12 Yeah I did like original ratchets voice actor but I think Taylor does a great job as well, he sounds a lot like him

@@STRING3R he does sound like him

@@ImLiam12 passssssss

By far the best atmosphere in the series due to three things: unique planet-based level design, excellent soundtrack and story. All three are 10/10 in the first game. The somewhat basic controls and weapons are forgivable because of it. Kind of just makes it charming.

Feel similar. I'm in a weird time between millennials and gen z myself: 97. Because of my older cousins, as well as my dad and uncles being nerds, my tastes are much more on the millennial side due to games and such.

@@Ninj7 Also born in 1997 A.D, I feel you.

@@Ninj7 @Zen 2010 I feel you both hahaha I'm on the same boat as you guys

the most acessible? on a console no one can get their hands on and its exclusive. also rift apart has some of the worst combat in the series rift apart takes like 10 steps back. im guessing you didnt notice that they force you to play in lock strafe mode because you used to play in lock strafe anyways.

Whilst the game play and graphics/visuals are really stunning and super engaging to play in Rift Apart. It doesn't excuse the absolute smooth-brained story telling, the characters being dulled down to blocks of wood, where if they get into any conflict, 20 seconds later its resolved by saying sorry and also the Abomination that they turned DR Nefarious into. It's the term that you and many others use now "oh we can't have everything in a game" that allows these game companies to create half-baked games and ideas because we as customers just let it happen. Rift Apart is a 7/10, if the story and characters were actually any good, it would be a 9-10/10.

@@dancingturkey147 Not exclusive anymore! It's on pc Steam now :). Rift apart has probably the best combat in the series, it's so much fun with so many cool weapons to play with.

Agreed modern ratchet is a joke compared to classic ratchet, it’s like there 2 completely different games because of how much insomniac changed.

I feel Jak and Daxter is on par with it

@@buildinasentry1046 the Jak and Daxter series is classic, I’m so glad naughty dog back then didn’t milk it and ended it on a high note with a sick racing game to fix up loose ends.

@@ImLiam12 Well there's Lost Frontier... I don't have much firsthand knowledge about that one. I like the direction Naughty Dog took with Jak X compared to Jak 3 though.

@@takatamiyagawa5688 Lost Frontier wasn’t really made by Naughty Dog That one was done more by High Impact Games, Naughty Dog gave them the rights I believe while they were making Uncharted 1 or something which explains why Lost Frontier wasn’t very good and why most fans pretend it doesn’t exist.

@Mr. Anonymous And don't forget about the ridiculous DLCs people beg for these days with lootboxes and microtransactions. Games were complete back then and people bought that ONE game not get ripped off to pay like a gambling maniac. It's sad to see how today's games are going towards pay-to-win and the industry has no respect for the fan base, at least...we got old games to keep. And there's nothing wrong with playing old games.

@@julian-vanilla8379 Anything is possible, if you love making games, there's a field in game development in universities these days.

Look up Running Shine he's another game reviewer that keeps it real no bells or whistles and some of his stuff is genuinely hilarious

ACIT for me was the last good ratchet game and the ending to the series for me as it felt like ratchet fully matured in that game and the ending for that game would have been a alright ending to the series.

The writing in Rift Apart is better than the latest ones

@@JV-mm2yf not really it’s still pretty bad from what iv seen.

@@ImLiam12 you're talking about how the characters pretty much just announce how they feel now right? yeah i hated the writing in rift apart

the soundtrack is so good, I listen to many of the themes while doing homework or doing other stuff because it's that good

R&C1 still has the best soundtrack in the series to date in my opinion, I’ll never forget hearing metropolis theme for the first time as a kid, it’s been stuck in the back of my head for years.

@@ImLiam12 R&C1 has the best ost overall yes, but there are some bangers in the other games aswell: themes such as Kavu island, Ghost station, Docks area miniboss, Zeldrin Starport and many others are great individual songs that even if they are in the middle of a not so great soundtrack (but still very good) hold up to the quality level of the best songs from the first game.

@@maestrofeli4259 yeah agreed 2 (my favourite R&C game) had some really good songs too as well even 3 did too I loved the jungle planets music and the arena.

@@ImLiam12 Pokitaru 2 from Size Matters is probably my favorite song from R&C, the music always slaps.

I agree, but the Xbox 360 and PS3 gen weren't bad for variety in the AAA market either. The signs of what was to come now started during those years, but we still got some excellent games on both consoles and pc.

I still think the ps2 had the best scope of variety and quality of any console.

PS3 actually still had pretty good variety for awhile. It's 8th gen that the homogeniety plague really got going.

@@ArcViper Pound for pound Gamecube or Dreamcast could probably give it a run for it's money but the PS2 also dwarfs their libraries by a significant margin so there's that.

@@GodOfOrphans in my opinion I would say 5th gen 6th gen and 7th gen is the best when it came to games

not really, its great but not a masterpiece like 2,3, and a crack in time.

Agreed. Rift apart is the best!

@@hhhfdsfs I disagree. Rift Apart easily goes up there as one of the best R&C games. I think it is at LEAST on par with a crack in time, if not better. The visuals are beyond jaw dropping, the gameplay is as smooth and fine tuned as ever and the story is also fantastic. When I first played Rift Apart I felt like a kid again..it has everything great about a R&C game and then some. If I had to rank it, I’d put it slightly behind Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal, like SLIGHTLY, that’s how good it is. I personally think people just have nostalgia goggles on when they remember the original R&C games. Don’t get me wrong, they’re great games but I think people don’t give the modern R&C games enough credit, especially the future series and Rift Apart

The only criticism I really have for Rift Apart is that I find the Enemy design lacking but that's a minor nitpick as the enemies that we do have also feel like a Greatest hits album of R&C foes. Besides what they lack in creative design they more than make up for with creative personalities I.E. Despite looking like generic Thugs4Less clones the Goons4Less have some of the best and most varied voice lines same with the Nefarious Troopers despite looking generic I never get bored of fighting them because they have such fun voice lines.

@@joshuahendershot196 same here. But I did enjoy most of the gameplay. I think Rift Apart it probably the best R and C we seen a while, but of course, even I'm a newcomer, it can't be the classics that made it popular. You just can't. and I totally respect the vets of the series.

Exactly. And i believe they are leaning heavily into the mario formula now, since the series has become so formulaic at its core and dr nefarious is considered the "bowser" of the series. Ultimately while this may upset some series vets, i dont mind the approach myself as sony is clearly trying set up rachet as the closest thing it has to a true mascot to imitate Nintendo, which could ultimately lead to more wide spread sales, which is obviously sonys goal.

What about sack boy and astro

@@mattkugelman4369 bruh, astro? Really?

@@Rono77 what they’ve been using Astro as of recent

@@patrickleblanc613 Kratos is the current mascot I'd say.

I think dismissing the weapon variety is his biggest disservice to the game in this video.

It's honestly soo good, you could literally sit and just stare at the planet landscapes and not get bored, but throw in pitch-perfect gameplay with tight controller feedback and it's just amazing. The story is also very well executed overall.

@@MartinHindenes i disagree. In my opinion Rift Apart is OK to good... but not the OMFG AWESOME thing it got hyped up... For me, it wasn't nearly as bad of a letdown as KH3 or FFVII FR. However it felt more like Quest for Booty or Into the Nexus rather than, for example, A Crack in Time (which ground it retreats a bit with having Ratchet and Clank split up again). Gameplay is good graphics are great. Weapon choices overall fine. But i miss the groovytron and the party mushrooms are no replacement for Mr. Zurkon. No Lawrence is a major letdown because his snark at Dr. Nefarious was always a highlight. Also Dr. Nefarious' running gag didn't make an appareance, so instant minus points. Emperor Nefarious also wasn't really impressive imho. He was a bit too goofy or at least didn't switch between sinister and laughable as well as Dr. Nefarious in older games did. His (german) VA didn't help either. Sounds more like a petulant 17 year old or so. Also as i said before Dr. Nefarious got a new VA in german which was a major downgrade. Clank I think also got a new VA but he at least sounds similar. I alos think that the whole switching between Rivet and Ratchet overall didn't really click with me. It reminded me a bit of the MJ and Miles Morales parts of Insomniac's Spider Man. Luckily RnC didn't have a gameplay switch. But still. It's been ages since the story got continued with a PROPER part of the series. And for a return I'd have prefered to spend more time with Ratchet AND Clank, rather than also having to introduce Rivet and KIT. Might also have to do with how we're thrown into the dimension that is pretty much already set up for a big blow off. But "why care"? We have little relationship wth them other than there are counterparts to the characters we know and Emperor Nefarius. And overall the game feels a more about Rivet VS Emperor Nefarious with Ratchet and Dr. Nefarious mainly there to introduce them. Linkara, in his review of Flashpoint, raised a similar point about the Flashpoint Timeline characters. There, all that stuff got tie ins... but why care? When the timeline is fixed, they'll never have existed to begin with. Here it felt for me like the stakes for RIVET (the dimension stuff was caused by Dr. Nefarious and RnC) were basically just there because "Emperor Nefarious evil.".. and he didn't even take the stage until halfway through the game. Also felt a bit forced when Rivet and KIT gave Ratchet "shit" for being worried/might not be interested in looking for the Lombaxes... the game apparently forgot about the events of Tools of Destruction and A Crack in Time with the dangers that just "go looking for them" could bring... and the dimensional troubles of Rift Apart itself. No, the game is basically just "Ratchet fears that they might not like him!"... It wasn't a bad game but in my opinion also not the great big bang for PS5. It feels like Rift Apart is Insomniac getting back into the groove... but not quite back there yet. I hope the next big RnC won't wait til the PS6 and will be a banger.

@@undertakernumberone1 I agree with some of your story points - I did miss the Nefarious Lawrence duo, kinda unnecessary to cut them up, and I was also a bit disappointed by the final stage boss fight. Some missed opportunities like being able to play as Giant Kit, and the arena challenges were too few. However the story presentation was amazingly well done, even if the story was somewhat generic. The animation and voice acting was on point imo. I quite enjoyed it. I think the gameplay was stellar and definitely took some good lessons from A Crack in Time. I also really enjoyed the weapons in this game - the visual effects from combat and the planets in general is fantastic, and I love that you can feel the action in the controller. Music was also surprisingly good and a good step up from the 2016 game (although not close to the originals).

@@MartinHindenes i overall agree. I just think that the story could've used 5 to 10 hours more. More stuff for ratchet, some playable backstory for rivet... It wasnt bad... but it just lacked some stuff to be great. And tbh. Imho the Arena in rift apart felt a bit meh. In regards of VA, it might be due to the dub, or just differibg opinion. For a "succesfull version of nefarious" the emperor sounded unimpressive imho. Also the armors... i appreciate the concept, but i think i liked the older armor system more... and the designs weren't stellar... I kinda miss the Dreadzone armors, they had some great designs.

100% best gameplay

It's on pc now so he doesn't need a PS5 :). And it plays great there!

Jesus Christ, could you come off any more pretentious? Perhaps you didn't mean it that way (I assume you didn't), but that really doesn't matter. Your spiel about "games focusing on gameplay" doesn't make any sense. ALL games focus on gameplay. Maybe it's not the reason people buy a particular game (For example, a great many Final Fantasy fans buy for the story, while the gameplay is secondary), but that doesn't mean it's not the focus. It doesn't matter how interesting the narrative is, if the game's not fun to play nobody will play it. End of story. As for why people play games like Mario and Ratchet & Clank, it's because they're light-hearted and don't require a whole lot of thought to enjoy. I like intellectually-stimulating games as much as the next guy, but sometimes I just wanna sit down and shoot aliens with a big gun and not have to think about it. That might not be to *your* tastes, but oh well. Games are allowed to exist without having to be pinnacles of their medium.

@@richardsinclair7661 Do you know what focus means? It means it concentrates on one detail. There are two categories of videogames, despite the term videogames is used for both. The first one is a digital game, like Pong. The second one is not a game but it has a ludic element to it, something like Metal Gear Solid. So what is the difference between the two? The main difference is the presence of a relevant narrative element or a lack thereof. A game like Mario is a glorified Pong with an afterthought narrative element, a digital game, it's not the same medium as Metal Gear Solid. Using the term videogame to describe both is a decade long mistake that should be corrected as soon as possible. Why would I be "pretentius" simply because I am not interested in playing games that you enjoy? Seems to me that you are refusing to acknowledge the clear difference between videogames because it would make you feel inferior or something along those lines, who knows but it certainly has to do with your emotivity.

@@golDroger88 You can have the best narrative but if it's shit to play, it's still a shit game.

yeah, when playing this games I always make sure to grab ALL the bolts, so when I first played the game I bought the RYNO in my second playthrough (first challenge mode) and was able to buy it as soon as I got to Rilgar, and I had all the weapons except the decoy glove, taunter, tesla claw and drone device.

I don't know how you did it because i did a wrench only run and still didn't get nearly enough bolts.

@@gabouchar9977 You have to diligently break boxes and collect bolts and use the metal detector whenever the oppurtunity arises, make sure to do all the objectives as well and don't skip any routes. I don't recall really going out of my way grind at any point but I did go out of my way to get the skill points in hoverboarding so I probably got a decent amount of extra bolts from that, if I had to think of any one thing I may have done differently from you. Depending on how many times I died that might have had an effect as well because that respawns enemies and some boxes so there are definitely some confounding variables.

@@GodOfOrphans I remember staying a lot of time in that room where there are a lot of robosquawkers and blarg generators in gremlik base. I used the strafe thing from the jetpack and the pyrocitor... I probably got between 10k and 20k bolts in that part alone.

The Megacorp logo is everywhere in Rivet's universe, I personally consider that foreshadowing 2.

@@joshuahendershot196 "The Plumber said in R&C(2016) that he'd "See us in the next Reboot" " I think that was rather related to Sony originally wanting to release two more movies, but they scrapped that idea when the movie tanked. The Goons4Less were already present in Into the Nexus, so I wouldnt read too much into it; but the Megacorp logo being everywhere is weird indeed. Maybe we are in for a spin off game with Rivet in her Bogon galaxy?

@@xXYannuschXx I honestly forgot that the Goons4Less were in Into The Nexus because I didn't play that game since it came out and honestly don't recall anything about that game but I do like the idea of a series of Rivet & Kit spinoffs and would love in Insomniac did that, nothing against Ratchet but I honestly like Rivet more as a protagonist. I just think her story arc is more compelling in general than Ratchet's.

@@joshuahendershot196 " I just think her story arc is more compelling in general than Ratchet's." Might be, because Ratchets story ark is almost over and Rivet actually had an arc similar to R&C1 in Rift Apart; I would love to explore more about her world. Maybe Insomniac is going this route, with Ratchet comparing her world to his, which would give newcomers an idea of the R&C lore, but also continue the game series and be interesting for the OG players.

@@xXYannuschXx The only other place Insomniac could really go with Ratchet's story arc is using the dimensionator to travel to the dimension where the Lombaxes went to, finding and reuniting with Kaden, as for where that dimension is, Mags mentioned in his logs(The Lorbs on Savali) that he marked the dimension they fled to on the dimensional map and even told the listener(in this case Ratchet) to "look him up" if they ever found a way to get to that dimension, considering Ratchet at the end of Rift Apart has both the dimensionator and the dimensional map it'd be a cinch to go right to the dimension where the Lombaxes are, I might also be reading into things but at the end of Rift Apart Ratchet asks Rivet if she'd mind making a pit stop on her way back to her home dimension which implies to me that he wants her to go with him to the Lombax dimension, basically, there's one other possibility but I don't think that's what he was implying.

Crack in time was so good. That was the one when you have to do the temporal recording sections with Clank right? I never finished that one.

The new rebooted series he's a kiss ass and all of the tongue and cheek humor disappeared.

I think the main difference here is that the later games had the levelling up system, so even if you had weapons you didn't like as much as others, you still wanted to try them all to see what you could level them up to if you use them enough. In the first game though, there was no real incentive to use weapons like the Decoy Glove, or the Walloper. You can chalk that down to "first game problems" in Ratchet & Clank's case.

Lol, in the newer games they teach you. And they also make it more intuitive. But yeah in the older games it was a bit awkward to use but you could swap quickly.
