Is it really nitpicking when it all comes together to make R&C3 inferior to 2?

Because that's what I was getting at in my post. I don't see anything wrong with that video's title in itself, it all depends on the points he brings up.

>>389072146
I don't know who this is but I want to cut him

>>389072146
Why are you all so salty? I watched the video this morning and I think he had a fair set of points. It's been very long since I actually played Rnc3 so it makes it harder for me to give a fair assessment but based on what he presented, it seems like he was pretty on point. I'll be replaying the trilogy again sometime soon so I'll update my opinion then.

Kid me didn't like R&C1. Kid me loved R&C2. Kid me fucking ADORED R&C3.

This is the guy who seems to think R&C wasn't fundamentally flawed with its shooting mechanics, to the point of where going back to it after the later games felt like grinding sandpaper across your balls.

Give me a tl:dw

>>389075394
I'm not watching it. You watch it.

>>389075480
If he's not watching it I'm not watching it

>>389072146
why doesnt he complain about the shitty boss in 2 that makes me never want to play that shitty game again.

>>389075639
Or the flying minigame in 2 that was complete dogshit, and forced upon you at multiple points?

>>389075394
He didn't like it because it was too linear, no commentary about modern society, and Nefarious didn't fit the tone of the game.

>>389072146

I get the point that ratchet 2 had more variety, but I fucking hated the space battles, and the races, and that small planet with the jump pads, etc. I only missed the grind rails

>>389075394

Basically ratchet 3 has less variety because it has no grind rails, much less minigames, only one battle arena vs 2, etc.

Also the levels were much more linear instead of 1 and 2 having much more alternate routes you could choose at the beginning of levels. He blames this on wasted resources poured in the online multiplayer. Other nitpicks like insomniac museum not being voiced, etc.

>>389075901

also the graphics in 3 were awful, which I agree

>>389075639
>>389075182
>why doesn't he complain about the other games?????
Because this video is about ratchet and clank 3
>>389075394

>details missing i.e. Enemies not reacting when shot by more powerful weapons, lack of animations present in other games of the era
>some levels and segments are just a pasted multiplayer map with a hoard of enemies coming at you which would be fine if it weren't for the fact that the game already has an arena mode
>less content such as races and mini games
>game doesn't even have grind rail segments
>sloppily written story with less focused themes than the previous titles

If he wants social commentary maybe he should play Gone Home or NitW. That seems more his speed
But what would I expect from the Social Justice Brit?

The best part of the video is when he gets those quotes form the devs basically saying that the game was a disaster and 2 weeks from launch they were scared af thinking they were going bankrupt

>>389076030
I don't remember there being anything interesting storywise in 2. There were like, a bunch of blue furby things that ended up being the bad guys? I remember Dr. Nefarious though, and he was a damn good character.

I brought up R&C1, because this sperg did a two hour video about how the $40 budget title remake was bad, while ignoring the elephant in the room that was 2002 version's dogshit controls.

>>389076187
If I understood the video correctly, he complains about social commentary being in the game, he says that the racism related themes added with Nefarius are completely out of place.

That anon missed the point. He criticized the writing for its commentary on bigotry. The original game had such a huge focus on consumerism, it was an odd twist for insomniac to write a sloppy story focusing on politicians and genocide.

Ratchet and Clank was never good.

Going Commando only had one upgrade for weapons. That meant there was one long grind, with little progress, or incentive to switch weapons, until you got a level up. By splitting things into multiple tiers, R&C allowed you to feel progress, while letting you explore different options.

Got a weapon to level 2? Cool, try out this other one. It's still level 1.

>>389076730
No, they phased out backwards compatibility because it cannibalizes current console game sales, like what happened when the PS3 was released. Sales of PS2 games were far outstripping PS3 games.

this dude used a terrible example by using the fucking heavy lancer.
I guarantee that if you tried using that weapon or any of the other beginner tier weapons at the last stage of the game you would run out of ammo before the end of the stage. The weapon balance in R&C2 was shit because of this

I haven't watched it, but I wasn't disappointed with a R&C game until the PS3.

Even Deadlocked was fun, if the story weak.

But Tools of Destruction was just... pathetic.

A Crack in Time was better, but suffered from many of the same bad ideas that started in ToD.

Haven't played Into the Nexus or the other PS4 entries. But with the absolute shitshow that the "remake" of the original is, I don't see much hope for the future of the series.

I mean there's a genuine difference, but I always suspect there must be quite a few people who gets really red and fuming about 60fps and yet can vizualise the difference between 50 and 60hz no problemo.

>>389077571
You're such a fucking faggot dude. It has nothing to do with being pretentious or intellectual. The reason the writing was good is because it was nailed all the way down into the core gameplay. The entire reason for things being the way they are, collecting tons of bolts, buying expensive gadgets and weapons, vendors and advertisements being everywhere, almost no character doing anything for you without you giving them money, etc. It's all in the gameplay. It's great world building with a purpose. This was lost over the course of the series. Is that inherently bad? No. Were the stories of some of the following games weaker? Definitely. Video Game storytelling is great when it's told through the gameplay itself.

>>389076571
They never actually said she was a lombax in game though.

I mean, yeah she looked exactly like a human-proportion version of our hero.

Patreon/Discord are a hell of a drug...

>>389081684
because you used the word comfy

>>389079684
Not to mention bringing back one thing a lot of people had wanted since the PS2 games; divergent paths in the levels. Oh sure, you had some choice of where to go in the future games, but that was a choice between two separate levels rather than taking one path over another in the level you're in. I hope if they do make another game, they'll keep that aspect in.

He's right though. Ratchet 1 and 2 are much better. Ratchet 3 is when the series started losing its platformer roots and became more about the gunplay.

>>389084059
wtf was so deep about the platforming in 1 and 2?

I watched the video. His complaints about the sterilized art designs of the worlds, weird story, and extremely low enemy variety are completely valid. However, I don't think he had the right idea about the linearity of the levels. The branching paths of RC1 and RC2 often felt for expansion's sake, plus the additional playing types such as tougher bosses and optional mazes were more boring than interesting. Having one centralized place such as Annihilation Nation was much better than separating Megacorp Games into 2 levels.

I'm fucking tired of people sucking Ratchet 1's dick.

The shooting mechanics are absolute ass, with boring weapons, and weapons give you no reason to switch between your favorites, due to a lack of progression system.

Even as a kid I played through 3 and felt like the guns, controls, etc. were less enjoyable than 2.

I think Going Commando is a much more fun game if nothing else.

>>389074850
>>389074175
Basically the focus is on 3 having less content despite 2 and 3 having the same dev time due to the added multiplayer. There's less routes to go to on worlds, the main villain has a nonsensical motivation that isn't well done satire like the previous two games. Enemy variety is significantly reduced, weapon upgrades have no reason to be there and the weapons generally feel worse to use, as well as almost every area in the game being completely linear.

There's other shit i might've missed but that's the gist from having watched it
