i just recently picked this title up. From someone who normally plays fps and sports games, i was blown away. It looks childish at first but that becomes part of the appeal. The games humor and action were awesome. I luv the game and once i beat it i will be looking for the psp and ps2 ratchet games to play.

awesome! thanks! my new wallpaper!
Only a few months into my PS3 this is the first game i picked up. i already own a 360 and was blown away by the "graphics" not sure if its the textures, the colors or what but it is a very visually apealling game. so much going on at once and yet so sharp. Never play a rachet game before but am really enjoying this one.
I played the PSP Ratchet game before this, and hated it. The thing was stiff, ugly, and boring. I downloaded the demo for R&C Future, though, and thought it was OK, and the game was so hyped on this baord, that I gave the full game a chance when I saw it for cheap. Thank you GAF!
If I go back and play the old PS2 Ratchet games, will I hate them as much as Size Matters, or love them as much as Tools of Destruction?

I went to try the older games after ToD, and I was dissappointed.
Not that they weren't good, it just feels like ToD was an evolution of those titles, and so the older ones felt like they were missing something.
Mind you, I only tried the PSP one, and the first PS2 one, so maybe the other two PS2 games (and the spin-off) were better.

Uh, not everyone posts gameplay shots for the purpose of adding ammo dumps to the console war. Let him post whatever the hell he wants to post.

The first one is a very barren, basic experience compared to Going Commando, which in my mind is the best in the series by far. There's an enormous leap between R&C and GC.

I'm not saying they're doing it on purpose, I'm just saying people love to find the lowest quality images they can, then they use them as the defacto-standard as to what the game really looks like. It's annoying actually. Look at the GT5 thread. When people try to slam that game, what do they use? The shittiest pics they can ever find and say that's what the game really looks like.

Then let them. Anyone who slams TOD for supposedly having poor graphics immediately certifies him or herself as a dumbass royale and therefore perfectly ok to mock and make fun of. It's when this shit starts to creep into carefree posting of game media like this that it becomes a problem.

how is the rumble in this game?
I heard it felt tacked on unlike Uncharted

Well, I'm almost finished with the game. Aside from a pretty low level of difficulty throughout, I think this game is a blast. Really entertaining, and the level of animation and effects are mindblowing. Also, generally speaking, this is one of the most gorgeous games I've seen so far this generation. The different locales are artistically varied, with just the right touches to bring each one to life.
Coming from someone who tried to get into this series before and couldn't, I can't say enough good things about Tools of Destruction. Just an all around thrill ride. Also, I love the weapons. I use every one of them liberally, which is something I never figured I'd do.

Damn you Speevy. I was hoping the bump was for some news on the DLC.
Oh well, good to see your enjoying it. I feel the same. Game's pretty easy but fun as hell. Loads of different areas, all look pretty, awesome animations and pretty good storyline.
I'll be buying Quest for Booty for sure.
I finally just finished beating this, I don't know what took me so long to finish it but I enjoyed the hell out of this. It is the first Ratchet and Clank game that I have played and I've got to say it was damn amazing. I plan on definetly playing again anytime now. I can't wait for some more Ratchet and Clank!

If you enjoyed this game, go ahead and play Going Commando, and then Up Your Arsenal. Skip the first and Deadlocked.
You lose the sheen but it's just as good (GC is better imo), they aren't like the PSP one.

I don't have a PS2, and the PS3 is a 40 GB, so I can't play them
You got fucked.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Wow, can't fucking wait. Someone better create a new topic about this whenever info leaks out. I usually end up ignoring this threadRaist said:

I finished the game last week in both normal and the other difficulty that is unlocked. That game was really good, awesome replay value for a second playthrough, and the weapons were a blast.
The only two grips i had with the game were the lighting and the ending. The lighting in the game was really bad, felt prebaked, but as some resistance 2 screenshots seem to suggest, that is going to be a thing of the past, since it looks like Imnsomniac updated their engine in a real good way.
In the case of the ending i was dissapointed because it was too short and left you pretty much in the air. Quest 4 Booty DLC cant come soon enough.

Kind of a silly bump, but I don't know if this is something I could find at GameFAQs.
I just did the rainy level with the arena in it, and I'm trying to fill out my goals. I cleared all of the arena tasks but the mission marker still doesn't highlight, am I overlooking something here?

The finals armor you unlock looks really ugly, I miss the graphically beautiful closeups I was able to do, now I get this dull armor

Are you there for the first time? You come back later.Alex said:
So I just picked this up yesterday...
1. Anyone have any crashes? I've crashed three times so far.
2. Anyone ever seen any stretching verts on things? On a few levels, the exploding crates always had verts stretching out towards infinity... at first I thought they were tripwires or something, but they were in fact rendering errors.
3. Wasn't there supposed to be an update for this to add rumble?
Despite the above and the "no room on HDD" bug, I've been enjoying the game quite a bit, though!

What are you talking about? It shipped with rumble support.

This.
Ravidrath said:
hmmm does rumble work with your other games? I bought a white DS3 (imported on JP release) and it didn't rumble. I returned it and got a black DS3 and it worked fine.
on a side note, I finally got a chance to actually play this today since it was soo damn hot. I can't believe how awesome this game is and that it took me this long to play it. I feel disappointed in myself, noted this is my first R/C game.

The demo rumbles with my white DS3.
Got this one for 30$ almost brand new, and I don't even have a PS3 :lol . But I do plan on getting one very soon. I just know this'll be awesome so it was a must buy for this price.
So, how does this one compare to Going Commando which is considered the best in the series by many?(Played all Ratchets, and it's the best IMO too).
