I had committed a heinous crime and i don't expect anyone to forgive, but i will take accountability.

I miss when Ratchet and most of the other characters didn't give a shit. The only polite, pure and truly well-mannered character was Clank, and even him could be quite sarcastic and cocky sometimes. There was a nice banter and counter-balance between the two main characters. Now everyone's so vanilla and just crudely written. Truly the Cars 2 of video games.
@@user-qs3ih3ll5f Mario games definitely aren't more adult lmao, I see what you're trying to say but mario is even more sterile and child friendly than mickey mouse these days.
Yeah I kinda miss the original personality the franchise had. Now, it's more family friendly. But back then Ratchet was a gun toting, trigger happy dude. Ratchet and Clank matured as they went but they had that teenage/young adult edgy humor to them that made them stand out compared to most things. And it never took itself too seriously because of it.
@@Zayindjejfj yep, exactly. For me, the perfect Ratchet and Clank game would have art direction of the last two games and a writing mix of the original trilogy’s sarcastic, darker style and the Crack in Time’s more emotional, Pixar-like style. Also, Dr. Nefarious wouldn’t be the villain and the story would have nothing to do with the Lombaxes, space-time shenanigans or dimensions (plots which have been way too overused even outside of Ratchet and Clank games). You don’t need to use such plot devices to raise the stakes: good writing already does that, even with the most basic of premises.
Remember the rated T version ratchet? Back when he'd make raunchy jokes and actually had character? Those were good times. He needs a new character arc or something.
Can you imagine if the reboot for Ratchet and Clank kept their original, more interesting personalities and then the alt-dimension versions had them as the sanitized, pure personalities and THAT was why Nefarious always won in that dimension?

This line stuck out to me the most. I never really thought about it, but I usually just gloss over 90% of rated E games. There used to be tons of great games that were rated E, yet for a while now they're mostly just kids games that are way too easy and a story geared for children.
@@FinalFaintasy Making something for children doesn't have to be stupid or targetted only for them (not that this game is). Look at some of the greatest Pixar, those movies have not just a "stupid storyline because they're targetting children", no. They have some good writting where children have fun AND parents too. Dunkey didn't contradicts himself, because he knows the difference between Peppa pig and Up.
@@FinalFaintasy "Dunkey himself said it’s better for games to inclusive rather than exclusive, so he completely contradicts himself while missing the point of what an ESRB rating is." So wouldn't it be more inclusive if the game was catered to everyone and not just children? Besides you are missing the point. It's not about the technicalities of whether or not children or adults have the ability to purchase a game, its commentary about the difference between products that cater only to children and to those that cater to everyone, and in Dunks opinion, this game suffers for not striking that balance. Which is a fair criticism to make. Like Sassquash said, this game isn't like peppa pig. I'd agree it would be weird if a grown ass adult criticized peppa pig for being too focused on the child demographic and claimed it would be better if it tried to cater to everyone. Ratchet and clank, however, is a game series that's been out for decades, where most of its fans have grown up. Also it's not really being marketed towards children, its being marketed towards everyone. With the context we have, objectively this product would be better if it were to cater to everyone opposed to the more child focused catering.
@@FinalFaintasy the full sentence of the out of context half-sentence quote you used debunks everything you said. Go have a nap now so you don't get cranky.
I experienced this when playing the first game in a SINGLE scene. Remember in the first game on that water plant? Ratchet breaks his back helping this guy for an O2 mask, then when EVERYTHING is done, he’s told “yeah we don’t have any, so we kind of have a problem.” Ratchets immediate response is “WE have a problem? I just saved your world in multiple different ways and I just wanted an O2 mask: if you don’t have it after all this time *literally pulls out gun* that’s YOUR problem!” In the new game he literally says “WHAT? Well there must be SOMETHING we can do?” Both going to do the exact same mission that ended the exact same way. They’ve tried so hard to make Ratchet kid friendly that it isn’t Ratchet anymore. It’s just his younger brother Chet.
What I find kinda strange is that the Original Racthet and Clank games were also for kids, but despite that weren't "childish" in their writing. A lot of the humor was well written and witty, and while the stories weren't mindblowing (as they're still kid's games) they usually had a compelling theme that tied into both the main characters and the main villan (The first 3 R&C mostly focus around corporate consumerism, whereas Ratchet Deadlocked shows how media and fame can corrpt a person's morality if they let it).
While I do miss that version of ratchet, I do feel like this character has grown quite a lot. Like, even in up Your arsenal Ratchet wouldn't aim a gun at someone like that. He grew up and changed. rift apart is like 7 years after Nexus and even in nexus he was mature. He's been through a lot and after deadlocked I feel like he's a lot nicer because of character development. He's different, but he's still ratchet. If youve played straight through all the games its honestly not even jarring. His change is gradual through each game. By the time I got to rift apart it just felt like the ratchet we left in Nexus, which felt like the ratchet from all 4 one, which felt like the ratchet from crack in time which felt like tools ect. The Movie game he's different because its all from qwarks POV and he's telling the story wrong to undermine ratchet and make him look lame. Which is very in character for qwark. Ratchet was a total ass in the first game because he was a literal kid. But part of what makes ratchet and clank so great together is their buddy dynamic, which didn't exist in the first game. Every game has strengths and weaknesses. Its very hard to rank this series of games. Honestly I cant say which one is best, but deadlocked is my personal favorite.
@@flips6155 okay i WOULD agree with you, wholeheartedly everything about what you said made sense. Except for one part that you hinged on- Character development goes out the window when you incorporate reboots. You can’t talk about the other ratchet and clank games being used as character development in a comment section of a sequel that we didn’t get in the originals. If that didn’t make sense let me summarise- You can’t put the character development Toby Maguire’s Spider-Man went through onto Tom Holland, because reboots made it a different character and a different telling of the story, also meaning new canon, new events that did and did not happen. You can’t put character development 2000’s ratchet went into on 2018’s one because the canon was ultimately changed through reboot
Rift Apart seems to continue its trend of "focusing on kid friendliness" from the """PS4 reboot movie video game 2016""" which is a big red flag considering the franchise used to be nothing but innuendos and edge humor with capitalist satire, on the PS2 era at least
yes because everyone when they played R&C understood "capitalist satire". This franchise was allways for childrean, everyone here knows the game because we played it has childrean. Putting those jokes doesn't make their target audience like the games more and it can make them have legal issues. They are exactly doing what they should.
@@paulogaspar8295 Being made for kids doesn't mean the game has to have a shitty plot with shitty dialogue and vapid characters. Yes I got the capitalist satire as a kid because it's pretty on the nose. There's a character in the third game called Courntey Gears that's obviously just a robotic Britney Spears parody. 10 year old me got the joke because it's a pretty obvious joke. Sure I didn't understand the deeper themes of the story until I got older, but that's what good children's media should do. Evolve with you as you age. That's why shows like Avatar, Ed Edd n Eddy, and Courage aged like fine wine. And a show like Fanboy and Chum Chum aged like milk. There's nothing illegal about putting raunchy jokes and innuendos in a videogame aimed at kids AND adults. They've done it before and nobody sued.
@@paulogaspar8295 A wise franchise should grow with their audience, not abandon them first chance they get so they don't have to try as hard. I am not saying R&C should be rebooted to be a rated M game or anything like that. I am suggesting that R&C do what Legend of Zelda or Kirby did, where they are still games that children can play, but they are more focused on providing content to their long standing audience (who are now adults). Therefore are not afraid to have adult themes and stuff.
Ratchet and clank future has a nice writting, but rift apart totally lost it. And future saga isn't about anti capitalism, it's a good written game still. Sadly TJ fixmen left Insomniac in 2013
Every point Dunkey made in this video is accurate. As I was playing R&C I knew exactly what your video would say. I felt like this game was written by child psychologists
@@flips6155 his point is it's made for children only. Pixar can make.movies that draw in people of all ages. Playing this game as an adult is a chore when it comes to the bland feel gooder movie. Shit Up talks about death.
I still can't believe how they changed Ratchet. The guy went from a Douchebag macho jock mechanic that called clank a 'Neeerdddd!' to a geeky... nerd that is super nice to everyone. There is no difference anymore between Ratchet and Clank. What made them work was the intellect of clank combined with the go getter attitude of Ratchet. They had to set aside their differences to save the world(s). The current version just doesn't work very well...
I miss back when Ratchet was a self absorbed tool and Clank was a gullible nerd, they had such a fun dynamic back then. Now they're both just unbearably friendly cardboard cutouts.
yeah that happened around the time the ps3 games came to an end i think, a writer left and ever since the series felt very disney/shell of its former self
That’s why i don’t like the new Ratchet and Clank games. in the old games everyone was pretty harsh to each other and there were sarcastic remarks and an underlying tone of cynicism and shadiness about everything. Now it’s all sweet butterflies and kisses between everyone. Ratchet used to go around flaming everyone and everyone seemed so ditsy and clumsy it was hilarious.
Sadly, that's just video games now. It's facing creative decline, soon the only video games that will ever be successful will all be multiplayer ffps, moba, like Fornite, COD, and PUBG. Literally there will never be another original game again because it won't make any profit. Literally every single player made in 2010s are so boring and uninteresting. Single player games will soon become an extinct genre.
Calling the new Ratchet + Clank "too polite" is actually a way more scathing critique than it sounds. This is the series that used to have titles like, "Full Frontal Assault," "Up Your Arsenal," "Going Commando," and "Size Matters." They've watered this series down to be so inoffensive that it's lacking any personality whatsoever.
'And what was YOUR name?' 'Oh why thank you for asking!' 'No no no thank you for responding' 'My name is Clank' 'Thank you for introducing yourself' 'Thank you for talking' 'Oh thank you for breathing!'
It's weird how clinical the story is. The Ratchet and Clank stories have never been groundbreaking but they've always been enjoyable and quirky throughout.
i mean this lighter fantasy, kid friendly take on ratchet has been the only thing we’ve got since the ps2 days so it’s not very surprising but still disappointing
@@RomanCzachor The PS3 games were kid friendly but the writing was still really good back then, Dunkey mentioned Pixar and that's a good comparison for the PS3 games, there's nothing you wouldn't want a kid to see but at the same time the writing was sharp enough for adults to not think "this is stupid". PS4 onwards is when they forgot how to write for anyone but kids.
They just keep getting weaker since future series The wit and darker world are now empty The other reality should've been ratchet 1 levels of greedy cause they never won but nope
2:41 "The load times on the original Ratchet & Clank were almost non-existent." (Zooms past you in a starship.) (Zooms past you in a starship.) (Zooms past you in a starship.) (Zooms past you in a starship.) "Planet Kerwan."
Yeah, there's a difference between a game having no load time and a game effectively hiding its load time. Games like Uncharted are able to load new areas in the background because it knows where you're going and when you're likely to get there. Situations where the player chooses a location the game can't reliably predict (like selecting a planet in R&C) is where an SSD really pulls its weight. Dunkey's comparison doesn't really hold up.
I think Dunkey has only played the OG game on an emulator. Emulated the load times are really quick, but on the old PS2 they were quite lengthy sometimes.
Rift apart is literally just Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension. Incompetent villian who's not all that bad always loses and gets a device that allows him to take the protagonist to a dystopian dimension where he always wins. Protagonists meet there dimensional counterparts who have trust issues because of a dictatorship. Bad guy's dimensional counterpart is way more eviler than him and has an army of robots that could actually pose a threat to not just our protagonists but to the entire of the multiverse. Hell, the name of the device is even called “The Dimensionator” in both franchises.
Did insomniac forget that best friends often argue and challenge one another? Make deep cuts into each other Instead of letting shit slide and enabling their crappy habits etc. Old RandC they would always share thoughts and often disagree, Rachet just wanted to explore the galaxy and had no interest in saving the world, whereas Clank despite the good heart, is too naive for the consumerist environment he was in born into. Now they just feel like work acquaintances rather than besties who are honest to each other.
And the only time somoene got mad, when Rivet got mad at the orange Clank(cant remenber the name xD) it was because she found it was the LITERAL robot that took her arm. Wouldn't any robot be enough for Rivet to feel contempt towards all robots? Ultimately letting out her anger on somoene who doesn't deserve it? I feel like they only allowed Rivet to be mad there because it was THE robot.
Ratchet being anti hero only existed in Ratchet 1, Insomniac changed it immediately after Ratchet 2. But Ratchet was still awesome despite that.(I think the most awesome Ratchet was in tod)
gonna be honest with you pal, that's the most brutal thing I've read in a while. Like Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, or Penn and Teller brutal. Maybe they just don't like each other anymore and are only putting on a good face for the camera? R&C has done a lot with these characters before. I hope they do more again.
@@CunningCondor since a crack in time (although I really like the idea of this games narrative but kinda feels like there are no stakes cos it all resolves its self so quickly)
If we're going to talk about "no load times", Soul Reaver on PS1 deserves to be mentioned. It just has an opening load, and that's it. The things that game pulled off without loading screens is still impressive. Large environments, countless cutscenes, teleporting from section to section, and switching between the physical and spectral realm were all done seamlessly.
It's quite sad to hear Dunkey say this game is inoffensive considering this series got its start by making the most obvious innuendos and even naming one of its games "Up Your Arsenal"
Yeah, what's most heartbreaking is the interaction between the characters because in the very first game Ratchet and Clank had such a good character development but since the remake they completely changed that and now everything is sugar-coated
That's the new era for you. Can you imagine today's generation tolerating something slightly edgy? They will f*cking write articles on this and rant about how this is rated for everyone.
Completely agree on this. The first hours were like wow look at those graphics, so fun. Then, it got weird seing Ratchet acting like a bullied or traumatized child. And the lack of ennemies...
Still no one talks about the original trilogy’s great soundtrack and atmosphere, the adult humor and rachets antihero attitude.. we ain’t seeing these again are we
I miss when Ratchet was a selfish vindictive asshole who slowly learned that his actions effect others and came to care for people. He was a much more layered and nuanced character in the older games which is what made his personal growth so fun to watch. When Ratchet behaved kindly to people it felt good and earned, not plain and boring.
But he already became kind, why would anyone wanna see him learn the same lesson again? Unless u mean rivet should have been like the old ratchet but that could also get old quick
@@LPTV84 Ratchet used to be snarky by default future toned it down but once insomniac died(got eaten by sony) ratchet lost all personality and became "good boy 3"
It really does feel like they created the storyline to primarily reach kids, which seems like an odd choice given this game is a PS5 exclusive. There are probably only like a dozen 9-year-olds in the entire world with a PS5 right now.
@Gwapa snuna The original R&C trilogy (+ Deadlocked) had social commentary on the dangers of consumerism, idolizing celebrities, and how greedy people were for money. This was reflected in every NPC you met in R&C1, cause they were always out to get paid, and Quark betraying you because Drek needed him as a spokesperson for his new planet that he made for profit to sell to the Blarg... Which he himself polluted their original planet, and plans to repeat the process until he becomes the richest person in the galaxy. Sounds familiar? So yes, unironically Ratchet storylines used to be political and that's why the PS2 titles are praised more than anything past the PS3 ones which were more consumer friendly and generic platformers.
@@mirsolis4992 To be fair, the games were only rated that way in the US because of how strict ESRB was about guns in video games. Hell, PEGI rated these games as appropriate for 3 year olds. ESRB has laxed their standards a lot since the PS2, that’s why these same games are rated E10+ on the PS3 versions.
Finally got around to playing this as a long long time fan of the series. Gameplay on the highest difficulty is a lot of fun. And different guns work best for different situations for sure. Movement is fantastic. But hot damn the story. I miss when Ratchet and Clank was about two Futurama-like characters in a story loosely riffing on corporate greed
“The same calculated inoffensive personalities” Damn, this brings me back to the first set of games where Ratchet was a complete jerk half the time, and was often selfish and egotistical. With the reboot of Ratchet and Clank, he does feel blander and less offensive, though I can at least appreciate the larger scale of the games and higher production value, at least.
Yea, he basically had the character of Sonic but...good. A twisted version of that. Sonic was trying to be cool which made him look like a jerk. Ratchet was a jerk which made him kinda cool.
In the first R&C game, Ratchet was more of a heady mechanic who could enjoy good lightly offensive banter, then over time, especially the jump from PS3 to PS4 games, he became an incredibly safe and polite character.
Yea I feel like after Ratchet 3 they made him super boring and It clashes with his passion for shooting, he should be more like Rocket Raccoon or something and not this boring ass " would never hurt a fly " nice guy. Cus in gameplay you're a mass murderer lol
hell even back in the day their titles were "up your arsenal" and "going commando" - they were still aimed at children, but they weren't nearly as cookie-cutter and generic PC
“hey guys it’s me dunkey im reviewing Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze” That’s what you would sound like if you weren’t reviewing the stupid videogame about the gophers. Disappointed that this is the 5th review this year that isn’t the videogame Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
There's a pretty good video essay done by TheGamingBritShow called "how ratchet lost it's edge". And it points out a lot of the main points of criticism about the ratchet 2016 reboot compared to the original ratchet n clank. Long, but good vid
Yeah but almost everything that was pointed out in that video was clearly fixed in rift apart, they threaded ratchet in 2016's like if he already lived his life and that's why his personality didn't fit (Every cutscene in the game they are just characters standing there without visual contact, just reading their quotes) I'm really glad rift apart doesn't have that kind of issues. You can still say that ratchet is still a nice guy but because he ALREADY knows what he did wrong in the past, it's called Character arc) We already had an inmature Ratchet and we needed to see this character grow
@@valdo64able Which is exactly why I think it's a missed opportunity to not have the alternate universe Ratchet act more like his older self to reflect how far he's come
@@knowledgeanddefense1054 I will admit, as much as I still like this current Ratchet, that does sound like a neat idea for Rivet to be more like that in some sorta way.
Honestly I needed this, I’ve been seeing nothing but rapturous praise and you did bring it back to earth. Still a great game but there’s nothing wrong for dreaming of something even more.
It's a fun game, but the last few levels are really sloppy, and overall it just doesn't really capture the magic of Ratchet and Clank and what makes it a series you want to keep coming back to. It's great to begin with, and enjoyable throughout, it just falls a bit flat, especially towards the end.
@@larryhouse8358 nah. Rift Apart was my first Ratchet and Clank game (technically it was R&C 1 back on the PS2 but never finished) and while it has a solid foundation with its gameplay, level design and gameplay loop, it tends to get repetitive getting trapped in a room or arena every 5 seconds with the same enemies and going back to the same 4 planets like 3 times. It doesnt help that the story felt very shallow. I ended up finishing R&C 1 after and absolutely loving it all the way through. Then I played Going Commando and somehow ended up becoming one of my favorite games of all time with Tools of Destruction being a second then Up Your Arsenal. The worlds felt more realized in the older games and characterization was also charming for being unique and the dynamic between Ratchet and Clank. The writing also being some of the funniest/stupidest shit Ive seen. These games felt more tightly designed compared to the new games. The design of the games before 2016 just felt so much better
The arc in the first ratchet game was perfect. From being a edgy, go getter, tough guy to slowly turning into a hero and getting over his differences with clank which created an unbreakable friendship would set the foundation for every game after. It was Mikey Kelley’s performance that puts the cherry on top for me.
But to me, that’s exactly why the two of them are in as good of a place mentally and emotionally that they are; they’ve done so much growing and bonding in the past ~20 years of games, that it wouldn’t make sense for them to be anything other than fully developed. You(in the general sense) can say they should focus on new characters, but it’s not fair to act like they should be anything but how they are now.
There is ALOT more to the use of the SSD than load times, on the user end you probably won’t notice but in reality all the games mentioned with “no loading screens” actually just had playable loading screens where you would walk around doing nothing or the game had to slow down the pace somehow, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but the developers are forced into doing something to slow you down. The PS5 allows the developers to do whatever they want and not have to work around technical limitations I think God Of War especially suffered from annoyingly long moments where the game had to fill time until the next section is loaded.
one of the old ratchet games' greatest strengths was that ratchet was never reckognised for any of the good deeds he did meanwhile this game hands out "thank yous" and "congratulations" every five seconds like trend words
@@chaseray7321 "No, it is I that should be thanking you, Clank. And in case you didn't hear me the first time, I will say it again: Thanks." This game, apparently.
I don't know anything about Ratchet and Clank anymore. I last played the originals as a kid so I don't remember much. And now, after seeing gameplay and trailer footage, and the movie, I still have no idea what their personalities are like other than Protagonist. At this point, their names might as well be Good and Guy
Especially considering how intentionally offensive the original Ratchet games tried to be, to the extent that the innuendo titles of those games got censored in some countries. How far the mighty have fallen.
I love seeing how dunkey manages to balance stupid and loud yet still funny content with quiet cynical and mature yet still funny and engaging content. His stuff has changed so much over the course of the last few years, and it just keeps getting better and better. It’s weird to think that just a couple videos ago he was talking about a classic French film and before that was yelling for a few minutes straight about video games haha
They really did completely waste Rivet and Kit. Rivet not trusting robots because she was betrayed by her version of Clank would have been infinitely more interesting than “oh you blew my arm off but it’s okay because you didn’t mean to.”
Honestly it sounds like she should’ve had a negative arc that had her keep her resentment towards Kit, and contrasts with Ratchet and Clank’s chumminess, which would be completely opposite of how ratchet and clank’s relationship developed in the first game, which leaves room for the next game where they work through their issues.
We all know the writers had kids in mind when writing this game but sadly this is yet another example of "stupid kid writing". They don't trust kids intelligence so they play is safe and keep things simple and clean. Cars 2 is a fair comparison.
@@Ranpuma1 remember one of the writers admitted to thinking the og ps2 ratchet games had shit writing so that to me tells me about lacklustre and annoying this game's dialogue is in general. Like my goodness whose bright idea was to make all of nefarious' bots to speak constantly to desperately try to make them sound funny? Oh yeah the guys who thought the og games had shit humour 🙄
The games that have had negligible load times have levels designed so that new assets load in the background as you play. Basically, it forces designers to design games around those technical limitations. The push towards SSD is more about changing that aspect of design rather than shortening time spent on a loading screen.
In the older RC games, they were seamlessly hidden with the spaceship travelling between planets which added to the sense of travel and adventure as its zips around.

Hello, certified hardcore Ratchet and Clank fangirl here. I can say without a doubt, as much as the truth hurts, you are 100% correct on this. I was really hoping after everyone complained that the tone of the game was way too child friendly in the reboot Insomniac would listen and bring back some of that raunchy humor that made me fall in love with the series back in the day. I'm okay with Ratchet becoming more mature as his character develops, but they've widdled down his personality so much that even white bread would say he's plain. Same goes for Rivet. Since it took her much longer to find Kit than it did for Ratchet and Clank to find each other, I'd think she'd be a lot more destructive and manipulative like Ratchet originally was until he befriended Clank. At the very least it would give the characters some personality to bounce off of each other with. Instead I feel Rivet's character can be summed up as "R34 bait" as she doesn't bring anything new or interesting to the table to justify her existence.
Long time fan here too and I agree with you. The way the characters are written in this game is very weird, sometimes Ratchet was acting like in ACiT where he was more heroic, smart, serious, but still arrogant and funny at times. Other times though... Ratchet would act like the reboot Ratchet, constantly thanking people, being reckless, fearful of monsters that he have fought over and over. I liked Rivet but I agree she doesn't bring nothing new to the table and there isn't much interaction between her and Ratchet, they're separated for almost the entire duration of the game. I also don't like the pirate and zombies jokes like the French Pirate, Pirate Planet, zombie T-Rex. This game is a great improvement over the Reboot, but the story and dialogue still isn't quite on the level of the PS2 or PS3 games.
I replayed most of the series ahead of this release and I found that I mostly just like the Ratchet from the first game and every subsequent installment made him more cuddly and inoffensive, with the exception of Deadlocked which brought the edge back and as a result is probably my second favorite game after the first. Still a hell of a lot of fun, but in the first game he actually has an arc and a personality that bounces well off the greedy and shitheaded npc's. As soon as Ratchet started "yes sir-ing" CEO's I just had to sigh to myself.
But don't you feel more represented with a girl-ratchet? You're a girl, and she's a girl! Love the game! It spent a modicum of time and effort to pander to you! To avoid arguments I'm mocking the banal and inoffensive execution not the idea itself
I haven't played too many Ratchet and Clank games but I did feel like Ratchet's personality downgraded and one dimensionnal compared to something from Crack in Time however Rift Apart is probably my favorite game in the series that I played so far because of the gameplay alone
I think people are more willing to accept criticism of things they like than praise of things they don't. Cuz if you really like something, you can tolerate one or two flaws. But if you really hate something, it's harder to accept its strengths or positive points

The first game hinted at it, and thou2 brought it front and center. This is the harsh reality of an apocalypse, and probably a reality of life in general. If Abby had just forgiven Joel, like Ellie did at the end, then Joel would have been alive, and so would Abby's friends. If Ellie had forgiven Joel then she would have not had wasted those 3 years being angry at him. They both lost so much because of their obsession with revenge. That's why it was such an amazing game. A sad game for sure, but an amazing sad game. I'm so glad that ND had the balls so go for something so risky and interesting.
@@RaonakDM Abby didn't need to forgive Joel, she should of understood. Oh, and she did. Her father was asked what he would do if Abby was in Ellie's shoes. Yeah, also, it's not about forgiving, it's about a means to an end. Death and murder, not always right, but Ellie killing Abby would save her a world. Why? Because, Abby didn't understand the first time, nor would she the second. How could she if she didn't let Tommy go? When she viciously clubbed Joel? Again, if this were about a antagonists and protagonists, it should of been conveyed better then revenge when it's a post apocaylptic world. Abby was the daughter of a scientist, she has no desire for a cure? Inturn wanted Ellie dead? Yeah, it's revenge, and I'm not going to agree even if my statement is bordering on a devils advocasy.
@@MagklJellyBeanPastelLucidDream forgiveness comes from understanding. And that's what it's about. Understanding why people do the things they do. Logic goes out the window when it effects a loved one. Abby stopped caring about saving the world the moment her father died. Joel stopped caring about logic the moment he heard Ellie would die. Ellie stopped caring about logic when she saw Joel die. I can understand why people hate TLOU2. That's what's so interesting about this game, whether you love it or you hate it, you can't stop thinking about it.
Honestly, I feel like Rivet should have been a person who's disillusioned by all the years of fighting against Emperor Nefarious and never managing to beat him. Then they would meet Ratchet and he convinces her that all that fighting isn't pointless and that she needs to keep fighting so that she can inspire others to do the same thing. A cliche character arc given the scenario? Maybe. But it would have actually fit in with the kind of story they were trying to tell with this set up.
@@michaeljamescollins6800 which sucks, because that would have made for an excellent story. Imagine if Rivet was an uncompromising jerk? Imagine if she didn’t have the character growth Ratchet had, how much of a douche she would be. How interesting that would be as a character dynamic. Rivet could have grown over the course of this game to become a hero like Ratchet. Unfortunately, you can’t have women be bossy jerks because it “perpetuates misogyny”.
@@michaeljamescollins6800 the female clank could have been beat down. Failing in her mission that her Dad Bot created her for. How much that would impact her. If you completely swap everything that happened in the first game. You could have 2 new compelling and interesting characters that could grow in the new installment. Instead it’s generic “she’s a tough woman, don’t mess with her”! Which is pathetic.

I miss when Ratchet and most of the other characters didn't give a shit. The only polite, pure and truly well-mannered character was Clank, and even him could be quite sarcastic and cocky sometimes. There was a nice banter and counter-balance between the two main characters.

Yeah I kinda miss the original personality the franchise had. Now, it's more family friendly. But back then Ratchet was a gun toting, trigger happy dude. Ratchet and Clank matured as they went but they had that teenage/young adult edgy humor to them that made them stand out compared to most things. And it never took itself too seriously because of it.
@@Zayindjejfj yep, exactly. For me, the perfect Ratchet and Clank game would have art direction of the last two games and a writing mix of the original trilogy’s sarcastic, darker style and the Crack in Time’s more emotional, Pixar-like style. Also, Dr. Nefarious wouldn’t be the villain and the story would have nothing to do with the Lombaxes, space-time shenanigans or dimensions (plots which have been way too overused even outside of Ratchet and Clank games). You don’t need to use such plot devices to raise the stakes: good writing already does that, even with the most basic of premises.
Remember the rated T version ratchet? Back when he'd make raunchy jokes and actually had character? Those were good times. He needs a new character arc or something.

DreamWorks, take notes.
This line stuck out to me the most. I never really thought about it, but I usually just gloss over 90% of rated E games. There used to be tons of great games that were rated E, yet for a while now they're mostly just kids games that are way too easy and a story geared for children.
@@FinalFaintasy Making something for children doesn't have to be stupid or targetted only for them (not that this game is). Look at some of the greatest Pixar, those movies have not just a "stupid storyline because they're targetting children", no. They have some good writting where children have fun AND parents too.
Dunkey didn't contradicts himself, because he knows the difference between Peppa pig and Up.
@@FinalFaintasy "Dunkey himself said it’s better for games to inclusive rather than exclusive, so he completely contradicts himself while missing the point of what an ESRB rating is."
So wouldn't it be more inclusive if the game was catered to everyone and not just children?
Besides you are missing the point. It's not about the technicalities of whether or not children or adults have the ability to purchase a game, its commentary about the difference between products that cater only to children and to those that cater to everyone, and in Dunks opinion, this game suffers for not striking that balance.
Which is a fair criticism to make. Like Sassquash said, this game isn't like peppa pig. I'd agree it would be weird if a grown ass adult criticized peppa pig for being too focused on the child demographic and claimed it would be better if it tried to cater to everyone.
Ratchet and clank, however, is a game series that's been out for decades, where most of its fans have grown up. Also it's not really being marketed towards children, its being marketed towards everyone. With the context we have, objectively this product would be better if it were to cater to everyone opposed to the more child focused catering.
@@FinalFaintasy the full sentence of the out of context half-sentence quote you used debunks everything you said. Go have a nap now so you don't get cranky.
I experienced this when playing the first game in a SINGLE scene.
Remember in the first game on that water plant? Ratchet breaks his back helping this guy for an O2 mask, then when EVERYTHING is done, he’s told “yeah we don’t have any, so we kind of have a problem.”
Ratchets immediate response is “WE have a problem? I just saved your world in multiple different ways and I just wanted an O2 mask: if you don’t have it after all this time *literally pulls out gun* that’s YOUR problem!”
In the new game he literally says “WHAT? Well there must be SOMETHING we can do?” Both going to do the exact same mission that ended the exact same way. They’ve tried so hard to make Ratchet kid friendly that it isn’t Ratchet anymore. It’s just his younger brother Chet.
Damn.
What I find kinda strange is that the Original Racthet and Clank games were also for kids, but despite that weren't "childish" in their writing. A lot of the humor was well written and witty, and while the stories weren't mindblowing (as they're still kid's games) they usually had a compelling theme that tied into both the main characters and the main villan (The first 3 R&C mostly focus around corporate consumerism, whereas Ratchet Deadlocked shows how media and fame can corrpt a person's morality if they let it).
I want you to receive a reward for the moniker of Chet. That was brilliant.
While I do miss that version of ratchet, I do feel like this character has grown quite a lot. Like, even in up Your arsenal Ratchet wouldn't aim a gun at someone like that. He grew up and changed. rift apart is like 7 years after Nexus and even in nexus he was mature. He's been through a lot and after deadlocked I feel like he's a lot nicer because of character development.
He's different, but he's still ratchet. If youve played straight through all the games its honestly not even jarring. His change is gradual through each game. By the time I got to rift apart it just felt like the ratchet we left in Nexus, which felt like the ratchet from all 4 one, which felt like the ratchet from crack in time which felt like tools ect.
The Movie game he's different because its all from qwarks POV and he's telling the story wrong to undermine ratchet and make him look lame. Which is very in character for qwark.
Ratchet was a total ass in the first game because he was a literal kid. But part of what makes ratchet and clank so great together is their buddy dynamic, which didn't exist in the first game.
Every game has strengths and weaknesses. Its very hard to rank this series of games. Honestly I cant say which one is best, but deadlocked is my personal favorite.
@@flips6155 okay i WOULD agree with you, wholeheartedly everything about what you said made sense. Except for one part that you hinged on-
Character development goes out the window when you incorporate reboots. You can’t talk about the other ratchet and clank games being used as character development in a comment section of a sequel that we didn’t get in the originals.
If that didn’t make sense let me summarise-
You can’t put the character development Toby Maguire’s Spider-Man went through onto Tom Holland, because reboots made it a different character and a different telling of the story, also meaning new canon, new events that did and did not happen. You can’t put character development 2000’s ratchet went into on 2018’s one because the canon was ultimately changed through reboot

Rift Apart seems to continue its trend of "focusing on kid friendliness" from the """PS4 reboot movie video game 2016""" which is a big red flag considering the franchise used to be nothing but innuendos and edge humor with capitalist satire, on the PS2 era at least
yes because everyone when they played R&C understood "capitalist satire". This franchise was allways for childrean, everyone here knows the game because we played it has childrean. Putting those jokes doesn't make their target audience like the games more and it can make them have legal issues. They are exactly doing what they should.
@@paulogaspar8295 Being made for kids doesn't mean the game has to have a shitty plot with shitty dialogue and vapid characters. Yes I got the capitalist satire as a kid because it's pretty on the nose. There's a character in the third game called Courntey Gears that's obviously just a robotic Britney Spears parody. 10 year old me got the joke because it's a pretty obvious joke. Sure I didn't understand the deeper themes of the story until I got older, but that's what good children's media should do. Evolve with you as you age. That's why shows like Avatar, Ed Edd n Eddy, and Courage aged like fine wine. And a show like Fanboy and Chum Chum aged like milk. There's nothing illegal about putting raunchy jokes and innuendos in a videogame aimed at kids AND adults. They've done it before and nobody sued.
@@paulogaspar8295 A wise franchise should grow with their audience, not abandon them first chance they get so they don't have to try as hard.
I am not saying R&C should be rebooted to be a rated M game or anything like that. I am suggesting that R&C do what Legend of Zelda or Kirby did, where they are still games that children can play, but they are more focused on providing content to their long standing audience (who are now adults). Therefore are not afraid to have adult themes and stuff.
Ratchet and clank future has a nice writting, but rift apart totally lost it. And future saga isn't about anti capitalism, it's a good written game still. Sadly TJ fixmen left Insomniac in 2013
People complain about the bad writing because it used to be better.
Every point Dunkey made in this video is accurate. As I was playing R&C I knew exactly what your video would say. I felt like this game was written by child psychologists

Yeah, there's a difference between a game having no load time and a game effectively hiding its load time. Games like Uncharted are able to load new areas in the background because it knows where you're going and when you're likely to get there. Situations where the player chooses a location the game can't reliably predict (like selecting a planet in R&C) is where an SSD really pulls its weight. Dunkey's comparison doesn't really hold up.
@@TK17000 probably. But it's already been confirmed that this is achievable on any SSD
I think Dunkey has only played the OG game on an emulator. Emulated the load times are really quick, but on the old PS2 they were quite lengthy sometimes.

Rift apart is literally just Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension.
Incompetent villian who's not all that bad always loses and gets a device that allows him to take the protagonist to a dystopian dimension where he always wins. Protagonists meet there dimensional counterparts who have trust issues because of a dictatorship. Bad guy's dimensional counterpart is way more eviler than him and has an army of robots that could actually pose a threat to not just our protagonists but to the entire of the multiverse. Hell, the name of the device is even called “The Dimensionator” in both franchises.
7:34 is so well-timed. I wish there were games with a dedicated lip-flapping button, so you could ad-lib your own dialogue.
Did insomniac forget that best friends often argue and challenge one another? Make deep cuts into each other Instead of letting shit slide and enabling their crappy habits etc. Old RandC they would always share thoughts and often disagree, Rachet just wanted to explore the galaxy and had no interest in saving the world, whereas Clank despite the good heart, is too naive for the consumerist environment he was in born into. Now they just feel like work acquaintances rather than besties who are honest to each other.
And the only time somoene got mad, when Rivet got mad at the orange Clank(cant remenber the name xD) it was because she found it was the LITERAL robot that took her arm. Wouldn't any robot be enough for Rivet to feel contempt towards all robots? Ultimately letting out her anger on somoene who doesn't deserve it?

If we're going to talk about "no load times", Soul Reaver on PS1 deserves to be mentioned. It just has an opening load, and that's it. The things that game pulled off without loading screens is still impressive. Large environments, countless cutscenes, teleporting from section to section, and switching between the physical and spectral realm were all done seamlessly.

Wow it's like we watched the same video
Completely agree on this. The first hours were like wow look at those graphics, so fun.
Then, it got weird seing Ratchet acting like a bullied or traumatized child. And the lack of ennemies...
Ratchet and Clank was the first game I ever played. It’s got a special spot in my heart.
You should get that checked out
Still no one talks about the original trilogy’s great soundtrack and atmosphere, the adult humor and rachets antihero attitude.. we ain’t seeing these again are we
I remember
Eh, at least they happened ...
They keep going on about how they're trying to make a playable pixar film, when the first game was basically the plot of Up
Literally everyone brings those points up when they compare old ratchet games to new ones.
Size Matters
Up your arsenal
Going Commando
...what do you mean, "adult humor"?
I miss when Ratchet was a selfish vindictive asshole who slowly learned that his actions effect others and came to care for people. He was a much more layered and nuanced character in the older games which is what made his personal growth so fun to watch. When Ratchet behaved kindly to people it felt good and earned, not plain and boring.
But he already became kind, why would anyone wanna see him learn the same lesson again? Unless u mean rivet should have been like the old ratchet but that could also get old quick
@@ragercarnage8609 he started out kind and doesn't change at all in the new series. pretty lame

It really does feel like they created the storyline to primarily reach kids, which seems like an odd choice given this game is a PS5 exclusive. There are probably only like a dozen 9-year-olds in the entire world with a PS5 right now.
This game was probably in development before the pandemic started so they probably expected a lot of kids to get ps5s for Christmas
@Gwapa snuna the complaint is likely from old fans who played the ps2 games which were definitely edgier (they were rated T after all).
@Gwapa snuna The original R&C trilogy (+ Deadlocked) had social commentary on the dangers of consumerism, idolizing celebrities, and how greedy people were for money.
This was reflected in every NPC you met in R&C1, cause they were always out to get paid, and Quark betraying you because Drek needed him as a spokesperson for his new planet that he made for profit to sell to the Blarg... Which he himself polluted their original planet, and plans to repeat the process until he becomes the richest person in the galaxy. Sounds familiar?
So yes, unironically Ratchet storylines used to be political and that's why the PS2 titles are praised more than anything past the PS3 ones which were more consumer friendly and generic platformers.
@@mirsolis4992 To be fair, the games were only rated that way in the US because of how strict ESRB was about guns in video games. Hell, PEGI rated these games as appropriate for 3 year olds.
ESRB has laxed their standards a lot since the PS2, that’s why these same games are rated E10+ on the PS3 versions.

Finally got around to playing this as a long long time fan of the series. Gameplay on the highest difficulty is a lot of fun. And different guns work best for different situations for sure. Movement is fantastic. But hot damn the story. I miss when Ratchet and Clank was about two Futurama-like characters in a story loosely riffing on corporate greed
The game really makes you feel like you’ve been thanked
Almost as a thank you for waiting for another sequel. Not including the remake, there was a nearly 8 year gap between Into the Nexus and Rift Apart.
“The same calculated inoffensive personalities”
Damn, this brings me back to the first set of games where Ratchet was a complete jerk half the time, and was often selfish and egotistical. With the reboot of Ratchet and Clank, he does feel blander and less offensive, though I can at least appreciate the larger scale of the games and higher production value, at least.
That humour and personality is what is missing from the newer ones now
@@NeverSaySandwich1 how dare you say that
@@NeverSaySandwich1 Not unless........
We hurt them.
I feel like "inoffensive" undersells the downgrade. They actually surgically removed storytelling from the game.
Yea, he basically had the character of Sonic but...good. A twisted version of that.
Sonic was trying to be cool which made him look like a jerk. Ratchet was a jerk which made him kinda cool.
In the first R&C game, Ratchet was more of a heady mechanic who could enjoy good lightly offensive banter, then over time, especially the jump from PS3 to PS4 games, he became an incredibly safe and polite character.
Yea I feel like after Ratchet 3 they made him super boring and It clashes with his passion for shooting, he should be more like Rocket Raccoon or something and not this boring ass " would never hurt a fly " nice guy. Cus in gameplay you're a mass murderer lol
@Thi_Usi Weren't the Future games on Ps4 also? I assume that's what he's talking about.
hell even back in the day their titles were "up your arsenal" and "going commando" - they were still aimed at children, but they weren't nearly as cookie-cutter and generic PC

There's a pretty good video essay done by TheGamingBritShow called "how ratchet lost it's edge". And it points out a lot of the main points of criticism about the ratchet 2016 reboot compared to the original ratchet n clank. Long, but good vid
Yeah but almost everything that was pointed out in that video was clearly fixed in rift apart, they threaded ratchet in 2016's like if he already lived his life and that's why his personality didn't fit (Every cutscene in the game they are just characters standing there without visual contact, just reading their quotes)
I'm really glad rift apart doesn't have that kind of issues. You can still say that ratchet is still a nice guy but because he ALREADY knows what he did wrong in the past, it's called Character arc) We already had an inmature Ratchet and we needed to see this character grow
@@valdo64able Which is exactly why I think it's a missed opportunity to not have the alternate universe Ratchet act more like his older self to reflect how far he's come
@@knowledgeanddefense1054 I will admit, as much as I still like this current Ratchet, that does sound like a neat idea for Rivet to be more like that in some sorta way.
Honestly I needed this, I’ve been seeing nothing but rapturous praise and you did bring it back to earth. Still a great game but there’s nothing wrong for dreaming of something even more.
It's a fun game, but the last few levels are really sloppy, and overall it just doesn't really capture the magic of Ratchet and Clank and what makes it a series you want to keep coming back to. It's great to begin with, and enjoyable throughout, it just falls a bit flat, especially towards the end.
I think alot of people are caught up in nostalgia. Rift apart is the best R&C by far
@@larryhouse8358 nah. Rift Apart was my first Ratchet and Clank game (technically it was R&C 1 back on the PS2 but never finished) and while it has a solid foundation with its gameplay, level design and gameplay loop, it tends to get repetitive getting trapped in a room or arena every 5 seconds with the same enemies and going back to the same 4 planets like 3 times. It doesnt help that the story felt very shallow. I ended up finishing R&C 1 after and absolutely loving it all the way through. Then I played Going Commando and somehow ended up becoming one of my favorite games of all time with Tools of Destruction being a second then Up Your Arsenal. The worlds felt more realized in the older games and characterization was also charming for being unique and the dynamic between Ratchet and Clank. The writing also being some of the funniest/stupidest shit Ive seen. These games felt more tightly designed compared to the new games. The design of the games before 2016 just felt so much better
The arc in the first ratchet game was perfect. From being a edgy, go getter, tough guy to slowly turning into a hero and getting over his differences with clank which created an unbreakable friendship would set the foundation for every game after. It was Mikey Kelley’s performance that puts the cherry on top for me.
Preach

But to me, that’s exactly why the two of them are in as good of a place mentally and emotionally that they are; they’ve done so much growing and bonding in the past ~20 years of games, that it wouldn’t make sense for them to be anything other than fully developed. You(in the general sense) can say they should focus on new characters, but it’s not fair to act like they should be anything but how they are now.

There is ALOT more to the use of the SSD than load times, on the user end you probably won’t notice but in reality all the games mentioned with “no loading screens” actually just had playable loading screens where you would walk around doing nothing or the game had to slow down the pace somehow, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but the developers are forced into doing something to slow you down. The PS5 allows the developers to do whatever they want and not have to work around technical limitations I think God Of War especially suffered from annoyingly long moments where the game had to fill time until the next section is loaded.
one of the old ratchet games' greatest strengths was that ratchet was never reckognised for any of the good deeds he did
meanwhile this game hands out "thank yous" and "congratulations" every five seconds like trend words
Clank: “HOLY %#*$!”
Ratchet: “YOU SAID IT, PAL!”

They really did completely waste Rivet and Kit. Rivet not trusting robots because she was betrayed by her version of Clank would have been infinitely more interesting than “oh you blew my arm off but it’s okay because you didn’t mean to.”
Honestly it sounds like she should’ve had a negative arc that had her keep her resentment towards Kit, and contrasts with Ratchet and Clank’s chumminess, which would be completely opposite of how ratchet and clank’s relationship developed in the first game, which leaves room for the next game where they work through their issues.
We all know the writers had kids in mind when writing this game but sadly this is yet another example of "stupid kid writing". They don't trust kids intelligence so they play is safe and keep things simple and clean. Cars 2 is a fair comparison.
I'm sorry, their names are actually Rivet and Kit? I thought that was another joke from the comments

Those PS4 games with "no loading" had hidden loading.
Still looks better than Sonic Frontiers…
The games that have had negligible load times have levels designed so that new assets load in the background as you play. Basically, it forces designers to design games around those technical limitations.
The push towards SSD is more about changing that aspect of design rather than shortening time spent on a loading screen.
In the older RC games, they were seamlessly hidden with the spaceship travelling between planets which added to the sense of travel and adventure as its zips around.
@@vincentjohnson7175 wouldn't that be biased asking a game dev? but I think the main take away here is there's no reason to get a ps5 for a couple of games when its not really any different on the last system. that's what i think he meant anyways.

Hello, certified hardcore Ratchet and Clank fangirl here. I can say without a doubt, as much as the truth hurts, you are 100% correct on this. I was really hoping after everyone complained that the tone of the game was way too child friendly in the reboot Insomniac would listen and bring back some of that raunchy humor that made me fall in love with the series back in the day. I'm okay with Ratchet becoming more mature as his character develops, but they've widdled down his personality so much that even white bread would say he's plain. Same goes for Rivet. Since it took her much longer to find Kit than it did for Ratchet and Clank to find each other, I'd think she'd be a lot more destructive and manipulative like Ratchet originally was until he befriended Clank. At the very least it would give the characters some personality to bounce off of each other with. Instead I feel Rivet's character can be summed up as "R34 bait" as she doesn't bring anything new or interesting to the table to justify her existence.
Long time fan here too and I agree with you. The way the characters are written in this game is very weird, sometimes Ratchet was acting like in ACiT where he was more heroic, smart, serious, but still arrogant and funny at times. Other times though... Ratchet would act like the reboot Ratchet, constantly thanking people, being reckless, fearful of monsters that he have fought over and over. I liked Rivet but I agree she doesn't bring nothing new to the table and there isn't much interaction between her and Ratchet, they're separated for almost the entire duration of the game. I also don't like the pirate and zombies jokes like the French Pirate, Pirate Planet, zombie T-Rex. This game is a great improvement over the Reboot, but the story and dialogue still isn't quite on the level of the PS2 or PS3 games.
Like, this is the series that gave us a game with the subtitle "Up Your Arsenal". You know?
I replayed most of the series ahead of this release and I found that I mostly just like the Ratchet from the first game and every subsequent installment made him more cuddly and inoffensive, with the exception of Deadlocked which brought the edge back and as a result is probably my second favorite game after the first. Still a hell of a lot of fun, but in the first game he actually has an arc and a personality that bounces well off the greedy and shitheaded npc's. As soon as Ratchet started "yes sir-ing" CEO's I just had to sigh to myself.
But don't you feel more represented with a girl-ratchet? You're a girl, and she's a girl! Love the game! It spent a modicum of time and effort to pander to you!
To avoid arguments I'm mocking the banal and inoffensive execution not the idea itself
I haven't played too many Ratchet and Clank games but I did feel like Ratchet's personality downgraded and one dimensionnal compared to something from Crack in Time however Rift Apart is probably my favorite game in the series that I played so far because of the gameplay alone

Ellie and Joel were, not some selfish doc who thought the tumors were a cure. If Ellie was a case, there were others, and what were the FireFlies doing? Trying to justify the murder of a child. Yeah, I will never like that game, nor Naughty Dog. I stopped playing Uncharted because of that. I won't support bad story tellers, nor give claus to let a father murderering kidnapper walk free.

They WENT TO THE FIREFLIES FOR HELP, BUT THEY INTURN TRIED TO SACRIFICE ELLIE FOR THE HOPE OF A CURE. AGAIN, THIS DOCTOR KNEW, SO THERE WERE OTHERS. Joel and Abby are different, Abby's father kidnapped Ellie, and tried to murder Joel for his selfish goals, under the guise of the FireFlies morallu obscure plan. Abby was in the wrong to justify the "eye for an eye", and Ellie was wrong to turn her back on a potential danger. It's a post apoctalyptic world, no one cares as much about others. When Ellie turned her back, Abby could of easily killed her, wouldn't make that mistake irl.
@@MagklJellyBeanPastelLucidDream that's the whole point tho. Everybody is a hero in their own perspective, and a villain in anothers. The first game hinted at it, and thou2 brought it front and center. This is the harsh reality of an apocalypse, and probably a reality of life in general.
If Abby had just forgiven Joel, like Ellie did at the end, then Joel would have been alive, and so would Abby's friends. If Ellie had forgiven Joel then she would have not had wasted those 3 years being angry at him. They both lost so much because of their obsession with revenge.
That's why it was such an amazing game. A sad game for sure, but an amazing sad game. I'm so glad that ND had the balls so go for something so risky and interesting.
@@RaonakDM Abby didn't need to forgive Joel, she should of understood. Oh, and she did. Her father was asked what he would do if Abby was in Ellie's shoes. Yeah, also, it's not about forgiving, it's about a means to an end. Death and murder, not always right, but Ellie killing Abby would save her a world. Why? Because, Abby didn't understand the first time, nor would she the second. How could she if she didn't let Tommy go? When she viciously clubbed Joel? Again, if this were about a antagonists and protagonists, it should of been conveyed better then revenge when it's a post apocaylptic world. Abby was the daughter of a scientist, she has no desire for a cure? Inturn wanted Ellie dead? Yeah, it's revenge, and I'm not going to agree even if my statement is bordering on a devils advocasy.
@@MagklJellyBeanPastelLucidDream forgiveness comes from understanding. And that's what it's about. Understanding why people do the things they do. Logic goes out the window when it effects a loved one.
Abby stopped caring about saving the world the moment her father died. Joel stopped caring about logic the moment he heard Ellie would die. Ellie stopped caring about logic when she saw Joel die.
I can understand why people hate TLOU2. That's what's so interesting about this game, whether you love it or you hate it, you can't stop thinking about it.
The story is straight up the Phineas and Ferb across the second dimension
Honestly, I feel like Rivet should have been a person who's disillusioned by all the years of fighting against Emperor Nefarious and never managing to beat him. Then they would meet Ratchet and he convinces her that all that fighting isn't pointless and that she needs to keep fighting so that she can inspire others to do the same thing. A cliche character arc given the scenario? Maybe. But it would have actually fit in with the kind of story they were trying to tell with this set up.
