wow rift apart is actually my first ratchet and clank game since i always been xbox and gf got a ps5. it's the most video game like video game ive ever played (if that makes sense?) amazed how great this game is
First of all, very interesting tier list, I enjoyed you rating every single game and mention most of the details about them.
In my ig I recently did a podium (gold, silver and bronze) of R&C games, and you pretty much did the same by choosing your top 3, however, I choosed a difrent winner :p
For me personally, the best game of the series is Deadlocked. What I really like about it's how every single major introduced character (that has some sorta of build up) delivered in becoming a memorable one. I think in a lot of games (not just R&C) struggle to make good characters, and sometimes you have this unecessary charactars here and there that do nothing and you kinda just forget they exist after you play them, in Deadlocked, every single character introduced is amazing. Dallas and Juanita S tier characters, same with the extreminators, the fans/kids, Green and Murph great too, and of course, Vox is one of the best villains, if not the best it's the more original for sure.
You mentioned that it lacked having heroes for Ratchet to meet, and it's true, but that wasn't the intention, you know those charcters that apear in the end thanking Ratchet? (Kid Nova and Hydrogirl were the names I think) Ratchet were suposed to team up with them at some point, or help them here and there for some missions, but this game was made in 5 months (I think) so they had no time to create stories and plots for them. Same way that the first boss (Shellshock) had it's own custom planet and the rest didn't, again, that wasn't the intention, they just didn't had time to design planets/levels for it.
I also agree that the levels/planets might be a bit dull (it's an arena type every single time), but to make up for it, I enjoyed that every planets had extra levels with difrent types of gameplay.
For me it's the best game, it's a shame that it was rushed in, but it gives me butterflies in the stomach when I think about a possible sandbox game where all of R&C Heroes and Villain are trapped in an gladiotor reality show and their forced to fight to the death.
Second is Rift Apart for me, for you it's the perfect R&C game, you gave most of it's ratings 9's and 10's, and I can agree, but for me what was really desapointing (and I'm sure you are aware of it) it's the lack of variety in enemies and bosses. The planets are gorgeous, the arsenal is one of the best, however, it requires no strategy the use the weapons since you learn the enemies skill-move in the first levels of the game. I wish we could've fought Pierre at some point, same with Quantum, probably Juice too, and maybe even the counterpart of Gary, who would've been a Goon boss.
One of the things that I really liked (which I think you didn't mentioned) was the constant false security that the game brings, most of the games (besides maybe Up Your Arsenal and Deadlocked) you just know the whole time you are going to succeed, in Rift Apart, the Emperor seems to be ahead of you every single time, until the very last scene of the game, and that's one of the best things I liked about it.
Third is Crack in Time, was also a close call between it and Up Your Arsenal, but I think Crack in Time's story/narrative it's a materpiece, and it's the game changer between the two games, and I don't have much to desagree with you in what you said about both games.
Rest of the games I pretty much agree with you in the tier list.
Also, if you need video ideas, I know you've already did a top 5 villains video, but I would also maybe like to see your retrospective in a tier list about villains and bosses (excluding the minor bosses like arena bosses that have no presentation, or the ones you fight in Rift Apart) and maybe also a Hero tier list excluding Ratchet, Clank and Quark.
Thank you so much for your comment. I think i can agree with u on most points and see how these games could have been rearranged, i can definetely see deadlocked at the top if not for, as i said, the lack of variety in levels. I cant use the 6-8m of making it as an excuse, because in some way, we have to review what we did get and not what we could’ve got. But the potential was 100% there for it to be my top pick. Also the issue that you took with rift apart I myself had, enemies felt really repetitive even though the planets and levels themselves were great and there were practically no bosses. Im definitely taking you up on the villains boss battle tier list. Itll take awhile to set up, but it will be fun to do nonetheless. Thank you for your insightful comment!
Going Commando was the peak of the series for me, with Up Your Arsenal being a very very close 2nd
I had already thought R&C was mind blowing the first time I played it, and it was really the first game that seriously made you feel like you were playing a "Pixar movie" to use that cliche.
I thought R&C was already like a 9/10 game, so to go from that into Going Commando was HUGE. I might even say Going Commando is the greatest sequel to a game ever made, because the original was already phenomenal and Going Commando just improved on it in every imaginable way.
I think while both games are very enjoyable, RC1 had very dull and many times unessential settings, untidy controls and a very basic plot (with very interesting and intelligent moments, especially comments on consumerism). Obviously we need to think about the technology at the time, but RC2 is such a massive leap in quality that I can´t say that RC1 is as big as a 9/10, and there is such a massive leap into Crack in Time and Rift Apart that the same remains true. Still I think I may change perspective by revisiting both games one more time.
Great video dude! :)
Great list! my only chance would that I would just put the orginal game at bottom of great.
I tend to agree with your tier list, however I would put All 4 One above 2016, I love that game and I feel it is the most underrated game on the series
I need to do a full playthrough start to finish, its probably the only game I haven't fully finished. The opening levels always put me off so much and even playing with friends wasn't enough for me. But who knows I may change opinion
the redesigned logo in rift apart is f tier
Then the whole dumb decision to have the PS3 games named "future" but only in north America is G tier
@@wile123456yeah I love the Future era but it wasn't even a different canon there was no reason for that
it always sucks seeing ffa placed in the last place, I know it's not good but I passed so much time playing it online and it was a blast, mainly in the laters years when only the die hard fans and try hards played it. playing 2v2 in those times with a friend on vocal was supreme..
seriously there are games like secret agent clank and size matters! something is wrong with this community
Second thing I'd like to discuss would be the reboot, Ratchet & Clank 2016
Like you said, most of people would defenetly rate it a bad game, but it's defenetly not a bad game, it was just ... the reboot that was very poorly
If I rate the gameplay alone, and just the gameplay, I don't think it's an exageration to say it's probably a top 5 for me, maybe. Like you said, it runs smoothly, I think it's pretty enjoyable to play, probably more enjoyable then the ps2 trilogy (gameplay alone), I'd say that a younger version of me, or someone who'd never play a R&C game before would love the game, probably.
However, story wise, for me it's dead last xd no question that it's the worst of them all.
I think the star power was used very poorly, besides Paul Giamati voicing Chairman Drek who did a great job in my opinion, the Galactic Rangers for me would be a great idea if they used already existing characters like Sasha Phyronix, or (call me crazy) Ace Starlight before it became a gladiator (since him and Brax are the same "character" anyway). Cause even if they weren't portrayed too well, I think a majority of us would be thrilled to see them again interacting with eachother, and I think it wouldn't change the story too much on the rest of the games (if the 2016 reboot would replace the 2002 version).
The Galactic Rangers were very ... boring characters to say the least, John Goodman's being Ratchet's father figure was ... very unsatisfying (which think it could've been so much better) and let's not even talk about Sylvester Stallone being, probably the dumbest villain ever in the entirity of series xd
Ratchet and Quark are two completly difrent characters from the rest of the games, Ratchet and Clank are besties since day 1 (like you said) and it's not thrilling at all to witness that.
Seeing a lot of planets beiing cut out was a bummer, I also didn't liked Cronk being the basic model of the Galactic Rangers warbots, I didn't liked seeing that the main civillians of Veldin were fongoids, and I defenetly didn't liked seeing Dr. Nefarious in this game, I liked his design and character in the game, but the fact Ratchet is the reason that Nefarious became a robot was a really bad decision, Quark being the reason why Nefarious is a robot is so much better, making Quark Nefarious weakness for me is genious, and it's so funny to see him yell "QUAAAAAARK!!!" everytime hahah
For me, the only way to make this game cannonly acepted, were if this game replaced all of the lore/story of the ps2/psp games, like if those never existed (in cannon events) and right after R&C 2016, Tools of Destruction happened. Or if all the ps2/psp games were an alternative dimension seperated from the rest of the games. But honestly, I would hate that to happen, so I'll just stick with that this game isn't cannon for me xd
I would also rate this game the same you did, good but flawed, like I said previously I pretty much agree with you on the rest of the games.
Rachet and clank going commando was not the end all rac game i wouldnt even say its top 3 deadlocked,crack in time, and rift apart set the bar high
very high indeed, the most fun games when I come back to them
Rarchet 2016 at the same level to the original?
Ratchet 4 equal with deadlocked and 2?
I think I do not agree with any position of this list
How can you put classic ratchet with the 2016 remake together. What. Secret agent clank is better than the 2016 reboot
yeah the list sucks
