The 2016 game is just the events of ghe first game told from Qwarks perspective. Loosely canon and Its actually genius if you think about it, a lot of it is BS 😂
a bit confused since Rift apart takes place following the events of both 2013's Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, the last game in the Future Saga, and 2016's Ratchet & Clank, which serves as a re-imagining of the first game in the series
My favorite one too. Spoilers Azimuth was a remarkably tragic relatable anti hero. It was like a dark possibility of what Rachet could become if he was consumed by trying to bring his family back
Really wish Insomniac would allow us to experience the entire story by rereleasing the entire series on one big disc collection with at least an HD paint job to it.
It would take an astronomical amount of money and man-hours, considering there was already a remastered collection of the PS2 games released on the PS3 and the rest of the games were PS3/handheld titles. And since even porting PS3 games is such a costly/difficult task I doubt neither Insomniac or Sony would ever even humor the idea.
Well actually to celebrate the 10th anniversary of ratchet and clank they released the first 3 games together remastered in HD for the PS3 Thats how I play them cause I dont have a PS2 anymore
Qwark actor Jim Ward was unable to reprise his role… due to life threatening sickness (Alzheimer’s combined with Covid) which is a shame, hence Qwark only cameos in the new game Rift Apart albeit with a different voice actor.
U have no idea how important this was for me. It is going to be my first time playing ratchet and clank, really needed this backstory put together in a short video.
Now here an idea so hear me out: what if Insomniac released a sort of "story so far" type deal like what Kingdom hearts did. All eight on the main story games altogether on one disc for everyone to either catch up on the story or to experience the earlier legacy games from the ps2. I believe it would be a massive seller since the Ratchet and Clank games have been around for about 2 decades now and the older games don't really get the same attention as the newer games have now. Maybe update the graphics and sound controls but still keeping in tune with the aesthetic of the originals
We're older now, veterens of the series, trying to introduce it to some friends of mine and just telling them about the silly weapons puts them off and I'm just like "your loss" I'll just be over here with my Groovitron and RYNO
Crack in Time is the best one in the franchise, with that said, when will we be able to fly out ships to the planets we want again, that was one of my favorite things in the game
R&C: Tools of Destruction and Quest For Booty are sooooo underrated! They came out early in the PS3’s lifecycle (never got retroactive trophy support either since they came out before trophies were a thing), and a lot of people’s first PS3 R&C was A Crack In Time. Both ACiT and ITN were great games, but the humor, storyline, levels, and gadgets in ToD were much better IMO. I actually liked the sixaxis gadget gimmicks. I played a good chunk of it again late last year and it still holds up in places!
@@ryanjohndavies4092 yep it got overlooked bc I’m pretty sure it came out the same month for PS3 as the PS4 launch. I picked it up, and while it is fun, and explores the rift stuff this new game is touching on, it wasn’t as engaging as the other R&C Future titles. Once I platted, I never returned to ITN.
Its the only one I've beaten. I have Crack in Time in the shrink wrap still (bad backlog bad!). At least I have a vague clue whats going on if I dive into R&C again as a series.
I played tools of destruction about a year ago couldn't get into a quest for booty because i was playing it on ps now with severe input lag. So just looked up the story on TH-cam then i planned to play a crack in time well a year later here i am 9laying it and while it is fun and the story is good so far my conclusion is these games can never top the original 3 and deadlocked. I think rift apart though looks awesome.
They should've kept the bit of grittiness the og trilogy and A Crack In Time had. Ratchet felt more like a brute force, rather than an Adventurer trying to stop the same Villain again.
I’ve played all of the games in this video except for Nexus and I have to say when A Crack in Time came up I had the most nostalgia by far. The story really makes it the most memorable one. Therefore, I really hope Rift Apart has an ambitious story so it can set itself apart from the rest of the crowd.
One thing I really respect about Ratchet and Clank is how they've been telling a broadly continuous story since 2007's Tools of Destruction. Like no other video game franchise does this because it's really hard to have a continuous story in gaming over an extended period of time. But R&C figured out how to tell the story in isolated segments that can be separated into different games while still having the continuous narrative thread of the Dimensionator and Lombaxes linking it all together It's a simple enough story and structure that new players can jump and figure out what's happening while expanding the story for returning players, it's the perfect multi-chapter video game story! It's fantastic and avoids the pitfalls of franchise like Kingdom Hearts that are so absurdly complicated after all these years that you need to read loads of extra material just to understand what's going on!
it truly is, however these stories are not perfect. There are some mind tearing retcons, like saying how Ratchet is the last Lombax, yet Angela was hardly acknowledged. And the stories of the games got very weak with Full Frontal Assault/Q Force and Nexus. But overall, yeah the overarching plot rocks, and I am so happy I grew up with this franchise
@@somecommenter4256 Yea, Quest for Booty, FFA, All 4 One, and Into the Nexus had trash stories ngl. FFA and A4O were spinoff so I'll let them slide and QFB and Nexus were just rushed so they had to whip something up real quick and they messed up.
@@sheriffaboubakar9720 I think the story of QFB was good for what it was. A simple standalone dlc. Nexus's story was good but didn't add too much for an already complete plot for the series
Honestly I just wished they stayed true to the dark tone of the game. I feel that’s when R&C was at its best! The original 4 is the best R&C’s ever made (in my opinion personally) but I just love the dedication and originality of the old school games. I skipped a lot of them after Deadlocked, but now playing Rift Apart, so hopefully it does justice for the series. But definitely the old tone and style of the original R&C games were the best and still will remain victorious in my opinion. But hey you can’t stay with the old style for too long, eventually you have to grow and do something different unfortunately.
Honestly, it feels like it kind of should have been rebooted continuity wise after Deadlocked because the tone is different and the new lore sorta starts contradicting the older games
@@noammo7455 I'm basically saying that after Deadlocked, there was not only a change to the tone of the games, but they also started introducing new lore and fantasy elements like suddenly Ratchet is the last of his kind (even though that clearly wasn't the case in the second game) and Clank has some new origin about being some cosmically destined being. It got just different enough that they could have just considered the Future games a reboot, like how there are three different Tomb Raider timelines
Not even an honourable mention of secret agent clank, size matters all 4 one or uh the sequel of all 1 I mean I don't think they matter too much for the story but they did exist
05:30 Uhm... At that point of the game its allready been revealed that Qwark is still alive. In fact you have a mission prior to the final mission where Ratchet confronts Qwark in his own hideout where he's shown Qwarks cowardice towards Nefarious.. Ratchet finds out about the location of this hideout after he got the fifth and final vid comic from Slim Cognito (the one Qwark thought he destroyed all copies from, because they reveal the truth about what really happened) Qwark turns Ratchets offer to become a hero once again down because he's too afraid.. Later at the end of the final battle he redeems himself by showing up and saving Ratchet. So.. That goes a bit different than said here.
I’d prefer that over anything else from Naughty Dog right now. Would love to see a PSV remaster or even remake because I think it would be nice to play the old games again on stronger hardware.
Same I'm playing and enjoying the new ratchet. But can't help think these games don't have anything on jak 2 and 3. Imagine jak2 haven City on ps5 with ray tracing
-"The cathedral is dark, cold and dank...just like my ex-wife" -Dallas -"Do you already have Thyrranoid bitches 3 completely downnoodled??" -Gleeman vox in the german version lmao Man Deadlocked had an amazing humor and it was so dark. The soundtrack is also sick. I love all the R&C games but deadlocked is one of the most underrated imo
@@Luca_Talis Simply amazing! It feels like a R&C game but with a new touch when it comes to cinematics, gameplay and traversal. I had no idea the game would be this unique. They really kept a lot of stuff out on the demos they showed us. The game is more then what they showed us. It's hard to put the controller down.
I think they skipped a major character development arc with Quark in Up Your Arsenal. It basically changed how Quark acts throughout the series afterwards
I went back and platinumed every R&C possible recently to get ready for the new one. Full Frontal Assault was painful and the Ninja Massacre Skill Point from Going Commando was annoying if you are in challenge mode but I got it eventually after researching how they counted "Kill only with wrench."
I should mention that you forgot to talk about some Ratchet and Clank games. I know that they are not the most important games of the franchise but there is a chance that they are canon. We cant forget that in "All 4 One" Nefarious presence is there and that this may affect his presence in "Rift Apart" because by the end of that game he seems sad because he choose to leave the group to continue to be a villian.
I had the 2016 movie as an introduction to this franchise but had the feeling that I thought this was a video game at some point. I did research years later after being dissapointed in the movie and wanted to see the game's original story. IT'S SO MUCH BETTER AND I'M NOW A HUGE FAN OF IT
I'm as long time fan and I'm noticing several inconsistencies in this and many skipped details. It wasn't the 'Bio Liberator' It was the Bio-bliterator' as in a play on the word 'obliterator'. And after quark faked his death on the exploding ship he was too cowardly to come back forcing Ratchet and Clank to seek him out and pep-talk him into returning. As for The Great Clock, the whole conflict about it is everyone who knows about it wants to use it to alter history, but as explained the clock is merely meant to keep time stable across the universe. Attempting to use it to greatly alter the past would risk the universe being destroyed. And it was nearly the case, the ripple effect of that providing the cause for dimensions weakening in following game.
This series was quite literally a huge part of my childhood, I loved them more than anything else I owned! I was so happy when I heard about the newest game!
@@Kubush1 hahaha Sony doesn’t have the money to pay off any reviewers nor would they do so. You know how stingy Sony is with spending money. They just make good games and have good partnerships and it shows. Since mid 2020 they have last of us 2, ghost of Tshushima, final fantasy 7 remake and intergrade now, demon’s souls, sackboy, miles morales, returnal, and now Rachet and clank. Pretty stellar line up to play already on ps5 with better visuals and performance on all the games listed. The timed exclusives Xbox paid for: call to sea and falconeer, are now on PlayStation. And medium is coming soon. Xbox will have good games with the studios they have, but as of now, there is a big discrepancy in quality titles on both platforms.
@@Kubush1 I can tell you are not a creator, but thanks for clearing that up. I can also tell you know 0 “Game Media” insiders but thanks for your inside knowledge on non-facts.
@@Kubush1 Saying you have "friends in the industry" has the same amount of credibility as saying "I saw a flying cow" You do not have friends in the industry and you just say you're a PC player to cover up your 2nd hand embarrassment of being an Xbox player.

Please go back to your imaginary friends and pray you get some good games
man its so good to get a clarification on the games storyline/timeline. I recently have gotten into the Ratchet & Clank and been having fun playing the games, I do hope they make more. and maybe another movie perhaps?
After finishing Rift Apart 100% on new game+ I really hope we get 20th anniversary remaster of all these games. I had only ever played the first 3 of the series and can't believe I didn't even know the 2 most recent games existed! Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper are my favorite games from my childhood and they both deserve a good remaster
Ahhhhhh....... I'm getting goosebumps. Favourite games from Ratchet and Clank....in any order Ratchet and Clank 1 Ratchet and Clank Going Commando Ratchet and Clank Up Yout Arsensal Ratchet Gladiator Tools of Destruction And yes even Quest for Booty And my favourite of all... A Crack in Time
meh, Quark is a trickster character: sometimes he's good, sometimes he's bad. but he only ever looks out for himself so he can never truly be redeemed.
So nostalgic . The very 1st moment i get my hands on ps2 and this game was a gift from my brother way back 2003. This game is sooo good & diffuclt coz its fuccing JP ver. i was mesmerize the world of R&C specialy collecting gold bolts and armaments in the game. Insomniac done very well on this
Ahh, Ratchet and Clank. So many fond memories. Playing the second game for 40 hours to upgrade all the weapons. Having my first seizure for playing a game for 40 hours to upgrade all the weapons. Fun times.
you love Rachet & Clank and you're a returning player. I suggest you start playing at the most difficulty level, otherwise it will seem to easy and boring. I had a great time and enjoyed the game more playing it on Renegade Legend. Super fun!!!
I agree so much. I LOVE Crack in Time. It’s just a huge shame that I no longer have a PS3… and I can’t use PS Now because it doesn’t exist in my country lmao
And a proper one, like seriously keep the style, the dialogue, the soundtrack and everything and just throw modern graphics with 4k and that's it. Going Comando is such a piece of work, I'd even like to replay it as it on my PS5 in 4k.
20 years, 3 other lombaxes, a functioning dimensionator, possible teasers for more lombaxes that are out there, and they still haven't found the lombax dimension 😭
i really wish insomniac would release a game where ratchet finds the lombax's and has to save them or release a mini movie or something where he meets the lombax's
Really wished you mentioned Merc and Green when you got to Deadlocked. They were extremely essential to the game and dont get enough credit in the series lore. Also Size Matters was pretty important to the series lore as well. It introduced the idea that Ratchet and his race were special and rare. This is later brought up in Crack in time which gave Ratchet's past more backstory. I know you guys were just trying to condense the main idea of the "story" but youre seriously doing a genuine disservice to the long time devoted fans thats been with this series since the ps2 days and general newcomers that watch this video hoping to get the entire story in one sitting.
Ratchet and clank up your arsenal is by far the greatest game of theirs. It was leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessors, with going commando coming in an easy second place. At least in my opinion lol.
I see what you did there :) (and agreed. I just got a Series X because Microsoft was literally on Facebook "Hey we have some in the store if you want some. Ordered Friday, arrived yesterday) - If only I could find a PS5 the same way!
In my personal opinion Going Commando is the best of the original 4, and believe it or not quest for bounty is my favourite of the future series, Going commando being the best of them all. I personally like all the games except for deadlocked, secret agent clank, the offbrand game with the robot girl, and into the nexus. Everything else is gaming and cinematic gold.
First ever R&C game I played was Size Matters. I love that game! I also played the original trilogy and Secret Agent Clank. I would love to play every R&C game there is, but don't have a PlayStation and I find it hard to set up an emulator.
The Xbox community haven't stopped wiping their tears for the last 8 years! The stupid thing is they could just buy a PlayStation instead of a console with no games, the mentality is baffling :/ I was on 360 and bought an Xbox One at launch and then the One S then realized all the good games were on PlayStation! There's no loyalty here it's down to what platform has the best games.
Some nobody posts on here thinking their opinion on what console and games other people buy/play is important. The stupid thing is they don't realize it makes no difference. The mentality is baffling. :/
My memory is so strange, I thought the old games I played look at lot better but they definitely didn't age well. First time seeing the games since I played them as a kid.
As soon as Insomniac said Rift Apart was after the Future Saga and not a sequel to the 2016 game, my excitement for this game never stopped.
Why??

I went back and platinumed every R&C possible recently to get ready for the new one. Full Frontal Assault was painful and the Ninja Massacre Skill Point from Going Commando was annoying if you are in challenge mode but I got it eventually after researching how they counted "Kill only with wrench."
Grats Dude!
Deadlocked had the best commentary of any video game I’ve ever played till this date! It still makes me laugh just thinking about the announcers
Waaaaaaaaaaaanita
I’m surprised they didn’t mention Courtney Gears in this video at all.
Ratchet and clank: Crack in Time was my first ever insomniac game I ever played and I loved it
It was really short not as much as the first games but it looked great
I should mention that you forgot to talk about some Ratchet and Clank games.
I know that they are not the most important games of the franchise but there is a chance that they are canon.
We cant forget that in "All 4 One" Nefarious presence is there and that this may affect his presence in "Rift Apart" because by the end of that game he seems sad because he choose to leave the group to continue to be a villian.
I had the 2016 movie as an introduction to this franchise but had the feeling that I thought this was a video game at some point. I did research years later after being dissapointed in the movie and wanted to see the game's original story. IT'S SO MUCH BETTER AND I'M NOW A HUGE FAN OF IT
Deadlocked was my first exposure to the series, and what a game. My brothers and I played it for hours when we were younger.
I'm as long time fan and I'm noticing several inconsistencies in this and many skipped details. It wasn't the 'Bio Liberator' It was the Bio-bliterator' as in a play on the word 'obliterator'. And after quark faked his death on the exploding ship he was too cowardly to come back forcing Ratchet and Clank to seek him out and pep-talk him into returning.
As for The Great Clock, the whole conflict about it is everyone who knows about it wants to use it to alter history, but as explained the clock is merely meant to keep time stable across the universe. Attempting to use it to greatly alter the past would risk the universe being destroyed. And it was nearly the case, the ripple effect of that providing the cause for dimensions weakening in following game.
This series was quite literally a huge part of my childhood, I loved them more than anything else I owned!
I was so happy when I heard about the newest game!
Crack in Time was amazing! Quest for Booty had a brilliant atmosphere
I remember the absolute INSANE glitches the PS2 games had. I would spend summers breaking that game with my friend.
Seeing footage of the old games again, makes me remember the old armours and spaceships you progressed through. Fucking loved some of those designs.

@@Kubush1 or maybe Sony actually make good games, ever thought about that? Don't bring info out your ass with that "well known for paying" shit😂😂
@@Kubush1 hahaha Sony doesn’t have the money to pay off any reviewers nor would they do so. You know how stingy Sony is with spending money. They just make good games and have good partnerships and it shows. Since mid 2020 they have last of us 2, ghost of Tshushima, final fantasy 7 remake and intergrade now, demon’s souls, sackboy, miles morales, returnal, and now Rachet and clank. Pretty stellar line up to play already on ps5 with better visuals and performance on all the games listed. The timed exclusives Xbox paid for: call to sea and falconeer, are now on PlayStation. And medium is coming soon. Xbox will have good games with the studios they have, but as of now, there is a big discrepancy in quality titles on both platforms.
@@Kubush1 How many frames do you get playing Holdfast Nations at War?
@@Kubush1 I can tell you are not a creator, but thanks for clearing that up. I can also tell you know 0 “Game Media” insiders but thanks for your inside knowledge on non-facts.
@@Kubush1 Saying you have "friends in the industry" has the same amount of credibility as saying "I saw a flying cow" You do not have friends in the industry and you just say you're a PC player to cover up your 2nd hand embarrassment of being an Xbox player. A real PC player wouldn't care about anything console related, not to the extent as to blatantly come and spread lies on a social media platform. Please go back to your imaginary friends and pray you get some good games
Omg deadlocked was an absolute masterpiece
Going commando, up your arsenal and deadlocked were my childhood and made it so great
I used to play rachet and clank up your arsenal on my ps3
Brings back memories🙄
man its so good to get a clarification on the games storyline/timeline. I recently have gotten into the Ratchet & Clank and been having fun playing the games, I do hope they make more. and maybe another movie perhaps?
You should totally put a high pass filter on your voice; those plosives are gnarly, listening to this with a subwoofer is painful lol
After finishing Rift Apart 100% on new game+ I really hope we get 20th anniversary remaster of all these games. I had only ever played the first 3 of the series and can't believe I didn't even know the 2 most recent games existed! Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper are my favorite games from my childhood and they both deserve a good remaster
Deadlocked was honestly my favorite ratchet game ever, probably played through it 12 times when I was in middle school
Oh man, tools of destruction was my childhood
Tools of destruction was my first game it brings back so much nostalgia watching this I want to go back and play it now lol
Ahhhhhh....... I'm getting goosebumps. Favourite games from Ratchet and Clank....in any order
Ratchet and Clank 1
Ratchet and Clank Going Commando
Ratchet and Clank Up Yout Arsensal
Ratchet Gladiator
Tools of Destruction
And yes even Quest for Booty
And my favourite of all... A Crack in Time
9 games in the main storyline? Wow Ratchet and Clank are long running OGs.
YES CANT WAIT IM PLAYING IT ON FRIDAY LETS GO
Ratchet and clank rift apart is a masterpiece 🙌
The amount of mispronunciations
And they completely skip over quarks redemption
meh, Quark is a trickster character: sometimes he's good, sometimes he's bad. but he only ever looks out for himself so he can never truly be redeemed.
@@ianism3 except he is redeemed because he actually does things for others in the games post UYA
So nostalgic . The very 1st moment i get my hands on ps2 and this game was a gift from my brother way back 2003. This game is sooo good & diffuclt coz its fuccing JP ver. i was mesmerize the world of R&C specialy collecting gold bolts and armaments in the game. Insomniac done very well on this
We need the whole game series for PS4, ps5, stream or Nintendo, so the new generation can catch up the story and game
I love this games
This triggered nostalgia.
With all these adventures, Ratchet is just a furrier cuddly Master Chief.
I loved R&C: Up your Arsenal.
The multi-player Arenas were so fun.
Glad to finally see someone else who also played Up Your Arsenal online i loved it back in the day
Ahh, Ratchet and Clank. So many fond memories. Playing the second game for 40 hours to upgrade all the weapons. Having my first seizure for playing a game for 40 hours to upgrade all the weapons. Fun times.
you love Rachet & Clank and you're a returning player. I suggest you start playing at the most difficulty level, otherwise it will seem to easy and boring. I had a great time and enjoyed the game more playing it on Renegade Legend. Super fun!!!
So cool to see the ps2 versions again, came a long way
Insomniac declared Size Matters (also the most sold R&C game) canon
Size matters is the most sold ratchet and clank game fr. Can u show me where u got that from wanna see.

2016 reboot is the best selling R&C game.
Tools of destruction is my fav gameplay wise but going commando and the space station mission will always be my fav
If you haven't, please, plug in a PS3 and do yourself the service of playing Crack in Time. It's easily the best in the series, by far.
I agree so much. I LOVE Crack in Time. It’s just a huge shame that I no longer have a PS3… and I can’t use PS Now because it doesn’t exist in my country lmao
They need a going commando remake!
No
They can't happen now
And a proper one, like seriously keep the style, the dialogue, the soundtrack and everything and just throw modern graphics with 4k and that's it. Going Comando is such a piece of work, I'd even like to replay it as it on my PS5 in 4k.
Nope
@CJ P. you don't understand the real reasom behind the 2016 game existing.
20 years, 3 other lombaxes, a functioning dimensionator, possible teasers for more lombaxes that are out there, and they still haven't found the lombax dimension 😭
I still have all my original PS2 games, I haven't liked the new kid friendly versions but Rift Apart looks beautiful
i really wish insomniac would release a game where ratchet finds the lombax's and has to save them or release a mini movie or something where he meets the lombax's
Well it was teased at the end of Rift apart but that’s like the 4th time they’ve teased it.
A crack in time is easily the best
Really wished you mentioned Merc and Green when you got to Deadlocked. They were extremely essential to the game and dont get enough credit in the series lore. Also Size Matters was pretty important to the series lore as well. It introduced the idea that Ratchet and his race were special and rare. This is later brought up in Crack in time which gave Ratchet's past more backstory. I know you guys were just trying to condense the main idea of the "story" but youre seriously doing a genuine disservice to the long time devoted fans thats been with this series since the ps2 days and general newcomers that watch this video hoping to get the entire story in one sitting.
Ratchet and clank up your arsenal is by far the greatest game of theirs. It was leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessors, with going commando coming in an easy second place. At least in my opinion lol.
This game will be easier to buy than to actually play it.
I see what you did there :) (and agreed. I just got a Series X because Microsoft was literally on Facebook "Hey we have some in the store if you want some. Ordered Friday, arrived yesterday) - If only I could find a PS5 the same way!
A crack in time was the best entry in the franchise
Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando will always be my favorite but A Crack in Time will always be the best game.
I always find it a weird but interesting detail that all the lombaxs have 5 fingers where everything else has 3 fingers.
Probably part of what makes him a good mechanic
I honestly feel like the 2016 entry takes place in a alternate universe instead of the canon universe we know.
Well it’s Qwark retelling what happened and he has a tendency to lie and forget
The ratchet and clank original trilogy are the best ever R&C games imo
Could Rift Apart really be the endgame for the Dimensionator?
I'd say there is one more game based on the dimensionator in the tank if Rift Apart teaches us anything
In my personal opinion Going Commando is the best of the original 4, and believe it or not quest for bounty is my favourite of the future series, Going commando being the best of them all. I personally like all the games except for deadlocked, secret agent clank, the offbrand game with the robot girl, and into the nexus. Everything else is gaming and cinematic gold.
I see you did not include size matters, secret agent clank, All 4 one and full frontal assault. I don't blame you
He had explained it in the beginning
I played Up Your Arsenal, Tools of Destruction, and a Crack in Time more than I can count
First ever R&C game I played was Size Matters. I love that game!
I also played the original trilogy and Secret Agent Clank.
I would love to play every R&C game there is, but don't have a PlayStation and I find it hard to set up an emulator.
It's been a long time PSP memories
R&C All4One deserved a mention here. It was the last time we saw Nefarious and he showed a liiiitle afection for Ratchet, Clank and Qwark.
"It can turn any living creature into a robot."

The Xbox community haven't stopped wiping their tears for the last 8 years! The stupid thing is they could just buy a PlayStation instead of a console with no games, the mentality is baffling :/
I was on 360 and bought an Xbox One at launch and then the One S then realized all the good games were on PlayStation! There's no loyalty here it's down to what platform has the best games.
Bro... they're just boxes that play games. Let people play what system they want to.
Bro, don't worry about what console somebody is on, just let people play games.
Imagine being this pathetic. Get a life lol
Some nobody posts on here thinking their opinion on what console and games other people buy/play is important. The stupid thing is they don't realize it makes no difference. The mentality is baffling. :/
I’ve played all of them, but tools of destruction carries so much nostalgia for me
Hope the Lomboxes don’t get Bio-liberated in the new game…
They don't even meet them
I love the endgame of RaC 2002. I just find it kinda cool how the final destination is the first destination.
My memory is so strange, I thought the old games I played look at lot better but they definitely didn't age well. First time seeing the games since I played them as a kid.
Love these games
This plus the story in the mangas also i think covers between some events of the games. Along with i think some developer commentaries.
