Good, it's a great game and well worth the price of admission.
We need more games like it.

Well deserved. The most fun I've had with a game this year, and an incredible price to value ratio

Yea, Jeff Cannata mentioned it in his DLC podcast two weeks ago after visiting insomniac. Cool to have official pr though to bring more attention.

As a person who didn't even have the game on his radar when it came out, to owning the game and greatly enjoying it, it's well deserved.
I've caught myself smiling because I'm having so much fun with the game. The humor is on point, the gameplay mechanics are good and the level design is fantastic. The game looks and feels great.

I honestly feel like the price point is a big reason for its sales. It's a good impulse buy price. More games definitely need to be $40

The hype from what I saw just around the net was higher than I remember it being even before Crack in Time was coming out. I always expected it to do very well sales wise.

Honestly, I'd prefer if the next one followed the rest of the games and wasn't the "sequel to the game based on the movie based on the game".
Word of mouth did wonders for this game, I think.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Love the game, but it has it's share of issues:
- length wise it was pretty short for a non-spinoff Ratchet title
- there was ZERO conflict between Ratchet and Clank, they're just BFFs from the moment they meet
- speaking of Clank, it feels like he barely has any character or dialogue in this one? Something was off with the way he was handled, he used to be so sassy
- Ratchet was really independent in the originals, and a real smartass with character growth. Not so much in this game
- Drek was turned into a useless dork
- way too much screen time for Captain Quark. Do people actually like this guy?
- why is
His original design is WAY better.
Crack in Time is still the pinnacle of the Ratchet series and it's starting to look more and more like they'll never get to that level again.

Dr. Nefarious organic now?

Great visuals+ reviews+ price and word of mouth.

Hopefully it has some legs too. Would be a bummer if a sequel (RC2 reimagining or something completely new) would be in jeopardy because of the movie possibly bombing. At least the reviews are not too good.
The movie is not showing where I live but I'd like to see it one day if it truly is so bad as the critics say. It could be another Hotel Transylvania situation where the reviews are over the top harsh because of reasons.

It's still the only recent game I can think of with a solid 5-star rating on Amazon, and it seems to keep selling there even as new releases cycle in and others start sinking.
Not sure if it's an Amazon-specific phenomenon (it tends to happen with specific niches at Amazon, but typically only for a day or two after release, not weeks later). Word of mouth is nothing short of fantastic so far, it seems.

And price.
But is really funny when someone said that he will buy a game during some sale.

Bring on the PlayStation platforming renaissance. Jumping Flash, Ape Escape, J&D, Crash Bandicoot - I want them all back.

I hope this gen is full of decent-to-good platformers and JRPGs. We need more of those.
Congratulations!

There's been talks in the sales threads that Ratchet and Clank was also selling out at places like Gamestop, so it's not just Amazon specific. They underestimated demand and have had to keep pumping out new shipments.

I'm not the biggest Ratchet fan (R&C3 was the pinnacle for me), but I'm literally just picking it up tonight. £30 is classic "reasonable price" territory. Wonder if they'll make that connection.

Eh, see the movie and some of those questions are answered.
People do love Qwark.
And finally - the more successful things are, the better chances of bigger and better things in the future.
