hey im comfuesd on how you think the Writing is if it is complelety better then tools or if it dosnt make thoes same mistake in wrtiting even if you still have to buy into that shit that wasnt what the series truly was about when it started on ps2 also how much cringe doses this one have compared to 2016 ratchet and clank
@@finnbai I had to ask because the doo hickey part reminded me of Cronk. And I like those guys too. A shame they had to get killed off the way they were.
So relieved that Rift Apart finally got the tone right, at least from what people are saying, I won't be able to play it for a while :/ Thanks for the review J!
Ratchet is still a little too goofy for my liking but it was a good tone. Just wish he’d still be a little angsty sometimes. Like I was hoping he’d be kinda pissed at clank at the very beginning for creating the dimensionator and kinda fucking things up
@@timeland8343 Well Ratchet kinda was the one who shot the dimensionators core when Nefarious stole it and caused all the dimensional chaos to happen, he'd look really hypocritical trying to shit on Clank after that lol
I think the reason why ratchet wasn’t angry at clank is mainly because clank built the dimentionator to find his family and the other lombaxes and plus I think it’d be step down off ratchet getting pissed at clank cause he was trying to help him and plus they’ve been on so many adventures together and not to mention ratchet had grown a lot while being with clank. I mean that’s my opinion but him getting angry over clank would just be stupid to me.
I don't know why but the 2010s saw the proliferation of this unfunny self-referential humour that's just embarassing to listen to. I know little to nothing about it, but could it be The Big Bang Theory's fault? Otherwise it could be caused by the rise of meme culture.
Blame Illumination, Sony Animation and more these days for doing it. Thats the humour inspirations right there. We can't have adult jokes in films anymore because I assume it was too much in the mid 2000's or something for parents and people had to change them to be dumber and making poop, fart or just bland characterisation in kids films a thing. Whatever dumb kid logic they can come up with as well as changes with the times for the worst. Never seen it in Pixar ever and they are the 1 western movie studio I can still stand unlike Blue Sky (dead now) and any others that did and probably still do it. We had crude and fairly suitable for all ages depending on the joke changed to overly childish and enjoyed by no one teen and up. Even in Anime I can watch a kids show and still laugh, I can't do that with any western kids shows or films as they just love to jump at any culturally relevant nonsense or talking down to viewers too much. Big Bang to me seemed just as crude and nerd stereotypes in the beginning before changing to a more mainstream stale style later on the more characters, standard family shows end up being.
Portal 2, Scott Pilgrim, Deadpool, Borderlands and Saints Row ruined pop culture dialogue. Now none of those properties are bad but they started some bad trends
Rift apart is so much fun. Currently on my 3rd playthrough. This game and doing insane challenges in Resident Evil Village has completely taken up my gaming time
Eh, I've always thought Tools of Destruction was an okay game. Good story, good voice acting, but some weird choices in my opinion. It pails in comparison to A Crack In Time which does nearly everything Tools does...but better. Not to say Tools is bad, it's just if I had to choose a Ratchet & Clank Future game to go back to, it's going to be A Crack In Time
ToD is amazing. It just suffers from some pretty severe difficulty spikes and dogwater checkpoints, but otherwise it's a great game. I might even go as far as to say that ToD is better than ACiT overall
@@TheTeknicalRonanill add that Tools of Destruction sadly never got trophy 🏆 support added in. A Crack in Time was not only better, but it being the first major Ratchet game with a trophy list gave it more replay value than Tools ( which I've never fully replayed to date)
you know J, I think that being a bit analytical has a charm to it, I'm really enjoying your recent videos but I really do enjoy one hour reviews of games I know or love, this is ofc my biased opinion but still, that's just how I feel
Going commando to deadlocked we're simply the best most fun ratchet has ever been for me and likely ever will be. Deadlocked was a great twist on a ratchet game.
I feel like in 2022 the best way for ratchet and clank to go forward is to adopt some ideas from doom eternal. Fast paced combat with an emphasis on dodging and powerful weapons.Broken up by hard, but forgiving platforming. But that’s just my opinion
Excited for the rest of the R&C retrospective I saw you tease on your patreon! I was thinking about trying R&C on PSnow and your reviews are def making me think about it since I recently played Sly Cooper(loving that). Excited your back man.
I found your Ratchet and Clank 2016 comments interesting. I've only ever had Nintendo systems. When I got my wife a PS5 for Christmas I got a bunch of games for her PS4, and R&C2016 is the first PS game I'm playing through, and having never played a R&C game before, I think this is great. No idea what's come before or sense, but 2016 is a lot of fun!
R&C 2016 was great! One of my favorite ps4 games. The biggest criticisms of it were: the game length was very short, the story was corny, and as a remake of the original 2002 game it didn't "add" enough "new content." None of those things are really an issue enjoying a new console trying out the best PlayStation games. You were just happy to play such a fun game. Ratchet is one of the only series I love that equals Mario and Rayman
I've watched many of reviews of ToD, and every criticism is fair. But it seems like the R&C community has come to this hive-mind conclusion that ToD is this monstrous disappointment that derailed the whole franchise. I don't see it that way at all. It was a great game and it was modestly responsible for continuing the legacy into the next generation. I definitely get the criticisms - I have many of my own as well - but it saddens me to see it get used as a standard for a game that disappoints after the first playthrough.
Too bad I can't really play this due to not owning (and frankly not wanting one anyway) a PS5. Really looking forward to the redo's on Ratchets 1-3 and how you tackle those now compared to the older videos.
For someone who is getting the PS5 in a few days and I haven't had a Playstation system since the PS2 I'm VERY excited to be able to not only play the fitst main 4 games but also games 5-8 I missed on ps3 and 4 and I can't wait to make it all the way to rift apart I just wish someday jak and daxter make a come back too
This R&C game is one of my favourite R&C game in the series however compared to the older R&C games. It’s not that difficult especially if you find most of the Gold bolts and unlock the cheats that let you have infinite amount of shit such as infinite amount of health and ammunition beaches 👍
Hey J, did you know that Ratchet’s voice actor is the same voice actor that voiced Obi Wan Kenobi in the clone wars and Johnny test? James Arnold Taylor.
And about Rift apart being the last, Its said that its the first in the trilogy that will be on ps5, so expect two other Ratchet and Clank games on the ps5. Every story needs to come to its end, but it feels like even if the story ends, you could still technically continue it. The game was amazing and after I finished Rift apart you knew there will be more, and in addition (or adding back) save slots just begs for me doing my own challange runs. Bloodborne made me get a ps4, and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart made me get a ps5, obviously other games too but those were the big ones. Huge fan of the series and Insomniacs Ratchet and clank anniversary is next year, so we might get a treat before the second game in the ps5 trilogy.
@@FlyingV555 I can’t really say it’s 100% confirmed, but I think it came from an employee working for insomniac. I randomly read it at the comment section on a rift apart video that somebody was a close friend of somebody working there. That’s why I said “it’s said” so we can only hope that it’s true. And to be honest since Sony acquired insomniac and made them a triple A studio I doubt this is the last game. Ratchet and clank could be like Mario or Zelda with endless adventures even though the games story just keep getting bigger.
@@triledink if it’s someone from a comment section take it with a grain of salt. I hope they make more games, but at the same time, I kinda wish they would just find a place to end it. End the series on a high note.
@@FlyingV555 that’s a possibility, but no one 100% yet knows. Though expect something from insomniac 2022 aka the 20 year ratchet and Clank anniversary. Maybe a teaser or something.
Hey J have you ever reviewed the generation 1 transformers show? If you haven't then I recommend reviewing it since I think it's a really nice show and there are other good transformer shows out there
it nice that we are getting recreations of the ratchet and clank trilogy but the question i have is when will your review the spiderman titles that Insomniac games created
You're actually the first and inly person I've donated to but not sure how to get to the bonus stuff... I'm happy enough knowing you're supported that bit more by me. Also as someone who was born in 98 and got sonic 06 with my ps3 I really appreciate your review on it as I share a lot of thoughts. And it is my favorite sonic game. You did it justice. Ratchet and Clank might be my most favorite series and am super excited to know your doing more on them.
You're 100% right about the the 2016 game was very pretty but pretty lifeless otherwise, it probably be fine for kids or non fans but I missed all the personality the older games had
It's very interesting to compare this video with the recent Dunkey video. I do agree more with you rather than comparing Rift Apart to Cars 2 and Doom Eternal. I definitely agree about the raritanium, it just feels like there's an extra step inbetween upgrading my weapons. I will say though I'm not the biggest fan of the weapons in Rift Apart since there's alot of overlap. Doom blades feel like a worse gun than lightning storm. The burst pistol gets out classed by the black hole machine gun. The warmonger rocket launcher is us a worse version of the drill hound since it can't multi lockon. And it has 4 weapons that just auto attack enemies; bombardier, Mr fungi, glove of doom and topiary sprinkler. Finally the RYNO 8 is definitely the lamest big final gun in a while. It can clear some weak enemies, but unless you get a direct hit on bosses it doesn't do much, just feels more like an Easter egg gun for Sony games.
Awesome! I've been playing through every main Ratchet game (1, 2, 3, Tools, Booty, Crack, Nexus) ever since Rift Apart was announced. I loved all of them (some more than others), and it will be awesome to see your opinions on them, refined.
While I have my issues with this game, like I have a really hard time buying this is the og continuity, given how Ratchet is portrayed here, it is good to see you’ve grown out of your (like you said) “pretentious douch” phase I think it’s really funny how the PS5 just had a better first year than the PS4
Gotta admit , as someone who kind of put off on your channel after the R&C future reviews it's nice to know that you've changed for the better since then .
Example 1: Spider-Man. Includes a momentum system and creative dialog with a snarky MC Example 2: Ratchet Series. Includes rail grinding, upgrades, alternate paths, social commentary, and a tiny bit of edge Conclusion: Insomniac wants to make a Sonic game
J in the sonic avdenture 2 review Gerald Robotnick didn't want to kill is grandson, that's way he somehow manage to send eggman to sonic's world with know humans. This aspect, I think was unintentional by SEGA's part but, it turned out really well
Happy to hear your thoughts on the Spider-Man games from insomniac 🙂 I have played 2018 *on ps4, I haven't played remastered yet, but I still enjoyed Spider-Man ps4* and I haven't touched miles Morales, but it was really really damn gold, I'm glad you managed to play the ps5 versions of both 2018 and miles Morales, are they your favorite superhero games as of this moment *or at least maybe in terms of marvel games or favorite superhero game in general* and also which ps5 do you have? The all digital edition or the full package with the disc drive?
Can I just say fuck Sixaxis? Because of that I literally cant play the copy of Into the Nexus I bought (or Wolf Among Us Season 1) because my freaking PS4 controller is recognized as just a USB controller. Thanks Sony.
I think at least on this game there is an option to replace the sixaxis motion with the right analog stick, unlike Folklore for example. I am not a "motion hater", I think it can be cool sometimes, but the Sixaxis was terrible in every game it was supported.
But even without it, unfortunately the DS4 support on PS3 was not well done. Some games like Gran Turismo titles dont work at all, this game doesnt use sixaxis, it just stops working when you enter a race.
I didnt play the PS3 future series but I did jump back on with the 2016 game literally got the platinum a few days ago. Will get Rift Apart pretty soon.
Really wish Capcom would look at Rift Apart as an example of how to make a 3D Mega Man X game, also i feel like a mega man level select type would benefits Ratchet & Clank greatly :)
A game about a space rodent and a robot going to different planets on their ship would be good to not have different planets but a boss select screen? What?
Can't wait for these re reviews of the Ratchet series J. I was already excited to play Rift apart but you've convinced to grab a PS5 just for this game. patrons please make it so J can finish destroying Secret agent Clank
Just got Rift Apart about 2 days ago and it's really great. I really disliked Ratchet 2016. I think it's one of the most soulless video games i've ever played. But Rift Apart is a lot better.
I know I'm being pedantic, but it's called the Phantom Dash. I thought the number of times Phantom emphasised the name after you got the ability would be overkill to hammer it in, but it would seem I was wrong.
Interesting that you don’t like Tools of Destruction that much. That’s honestly my favorite game in the series besides Rift Apart and Into the Nexus. Then again I know I’m a weird Ratchet and Clank fan because I prefer Going Commando over Up Your Arsenal and Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time (gameplay wise anyway).
Maybe it's because it was my First Ratchet game, but I still dearly love 2016. Yeah the story being tied to that weak movie bogs It Down but ultimately It's a budget game done in less than 20 months, if anything it shows how damn good Insomniac are at what they do. I think Rift Apart is a masterpiece, the best in the series with a crack in time.
It doesn't as far as I can tell, no setting for it or any feeling, only Triggers and Haptive Feedback. Not even Touchpad support or I think even the Mic either. I'm disappointed honestly. To me Nintendo consoles or the odd Devs willing to from PS4 games are the only ones worth caring about enhancements to games. Sony just don't bother. I'd love it if they did add Gyro to many of their games, I'm right there with you. Even Horizon I'm surprised doesn't with the bow. I like Splatoon and Botw for the gyro aiming on Wii U and loved used Gyro with Galgun or Gravity Rush or certain Vita games.
@@suntannedduck2388 I think all we can do is tell developers to add it. Cause the main reason why they don't is because either they don't know what it is, or they don't know that a lot of people want it If we can get enough people to ask politely, then they may add it. I mean, the Last of Us part 2 has it Also, I'm glad they don't use the mic. There's nothing a mic can do that pressing a button can do more efficiently in singleplayer games. It should only be used chat, voice search and nothing else. But the touchpad is something they could use. Granted, in steam, it's really only used as more buttons. But that's still kinda useful. Maybe using a touch menu for more weapons shortcuts
@@teneesh3376 They know what it is. There was Sixaxis controls in Tools Of Destruction and A Crack In Time for certain weapons or the Glider. They haven't use Gyro since though to my knowledge. But I haven't played the new Spiderman games either. I think they don't think many people use it. Even polls state people don't care about it from videos I've seen by people that do care about Gyro (at least in Nerrel's video I remember, not checked out too many others or the results outside that). But I agree there is an audience for it out there. I did not know Last Of Us 2 had it. I know it had the Guitar touchpad minigame though. Glad to know Naughty Dog added it. I didn't played it but I know from footage/know of someone that played it. I still wonder if IR with the Gyro is better though as I've been exploring Red Steel 2 and more Wii games I missed besides the few PS3 with Sixaxis, Move or 3DS/Wii U games with it. Mics I think are great for audio logs at least but otherwise used besides a headset in multiplayer or search yes. I think the swiping is great. Besides Killzone Shadowfall for the robot. Galgun for its touch minigames which really challenged me and I have no idea how much better on Vita it must be with a larger Touchpad length compared to the Dualshock 4's being really small (besides decent Gyro support), using half the touchpad for different buttons in Nier Automata (1 inventory the other something else I forget). I think swiping is fine but using the 2 halves or 4 quadrants is great. I liked the quadrants for sprinting and otherwise in certain Vita games but the corners were usually used so it got awkward sometimes rather than beneficial. I know Steam can use the Dualshock 4 in really cool ways and I appreciate that. Never used one that way but still good just like pro contrillers or the backbutton attachment to have the extra inputs. I assume that attachment isn't recognised on steam is it? I should get one and find out I think. I assume one is still available at one of my local stores. The touchpad for selecting weapons would be cool, instead of the D-Pad or changing the Triggers/Haptic levels without needing the menu, the hoverboot charging besides using L2 would have been cool or something really clever. Ah the possibilities!!! Astrobot still seems like the game that uses it in good and bad ways and knows how. Rift Apart could have done similar and improved on the better areas Astro did good with Gyro when using a bow, Touchpad in interesting ways but it seems they wanted to focus on other things instead or don't consider the audience for the past controller features maybe. That or its too small an audience and needs to get bigger. At most besides the few games I use the touchpad to skip tv series intros when watching DVDs & Blu-Rays just because its fun and to give it some use. XD
@@suntannedduck2388 the thing about polls on the internet. When audiences talk about it, it's usually people who are actively searching for it and not the general population. Also with the poll that is shown in Nerrel's video, that's an older one. A newer one by the same site shows better reception with a more votes But the point is that the people who vote on those are people who are actively invested in gyro aiming. Whether it be people who love it or hate it. And the few inbetweeners just going through the internet Also with the ps3 ratchet and clank games, sure. They have motion controls. But it wasn't gyro aiming. It was just moving ratchet when skydiving or something. So there's a chance they just don't know about it. Or them not knowing people want it. Hard to say without the developers saying it. We can only assume And swiping is okay. Honestly the touchpad intergration is a take it or leave situation. It doesn't really change how the game plays. Only making things a little more convient. Gyro aiming however, give it me as an option I'm just taking doom on the switch as a reference. It got gyro aiming because a lot people asked for it. Always with switch games. I wished the same thing goes for sony games. Kinda a 50 50 chance. This last part is a rant, so ignore if you don't care. I'm mad that classic Doom 1, 2 and 64 have gyro aiming on the ps4, but eternal doesn't. What, WHY? I'm sorry. Bethesda. WHAT?!
@@teneesh3376 Fair points made, agreed the pole was old, I should check newer ones, can completely see why that and other factors would be the case. I won't deny that early Sixaxis was not great. Even Heavenly Sword with the crossbow your directing a bolt/arrow the same way as Ratchet in those sections rather than effecting the aiming (its weird but the aiming in that game wasn't that easy sometimes depending on the scene/level so navigating the arrows was a good thing) so it does feel just as odd as Wii waggle actions yes rather than smart use of it. I think Resistance 3 or Killzone 3 with the Move may have been good but my Move stuffs up on PS3 after its connected to PS4 or my Mini USB cable isn't working too great, no clue yet so can't try those again any time soon but I do remember Killzone 3 being great like a more active gallery shooting experience once I finally got a PS Eye for cheap and played a bit of the first level again. But of course Vita and Dualshock 4 use Sixaxis still just better so it took time to learn the right ways to use it like with any new technology. Don't have a Switch but I bet Doom on Switch is great and the gyro aiming is worth it even for the graphical differences. Is unfortunate none for the older titles but I assume it was supposed to be a simple port job and thats ir. Anyways nice talking.
I didn’t grow up with Ratchet and clank, the first one I played was Ratchet and Clank 2016 a month ago at 26 years old, and I enjoyed it quite a lot, i love the Zurkons. I would pick that game any day over Spider Man 2018 and Miles Morales
This gave me a lot of hope for when I do eventually play this game because I'm such a big fan of the series, but didn't like what 2016 did. Hopefully, I can find a PS5 soon. Also, it still blows my mind that we're the same age. I need to hurry up and get off my ass and start this CZcams shit fr...
Nexus isn't actually a future game, since "future" is not part of the title, but it's still the last of the PS3 trilogy. Not counting the spin-offs, of course (A4O and FFA). Nexus is really good. Underrated, even. But it has performance issues and it's a short game, so people give it a bit too much trash in my opinion
I like that the weapon upgrades you get in RA don't actually increase the weapons damage output and they remain the same level of power. When you level up the weapon it instead unlocks more raritanium upgrade tree spaces you can make at the vendor which upgrade things like rate of fire, max ammo, area of affect and bonuses that let you target more enemies etc. It helps the weapons remain balanced and viable through the whole game I found, the older games always had the problem of the early weapons becoming useless after a certain point because they did barely any damage to the enemies and they became damage sponges. I believe they designed it like this intentionally in the earlier games to encourage players to buy new weapons but I think this way is a better compromise without hard nerfing the early weapons, I mean I feel like by now people don't need to be forced to buy new weapons in a RaC game. The enemies do still get stronger as you progress through the game and that incentive to buy stronger weapons is still there, but things like the shatterbomb and enforcer you get in the prologue still remain very useful,so I think they met a good middle ground in this game.
bro storywise rift apart was terrible. the story has such a non risk to it i think encanto was the only story i know who is less risky. also having ratchet side-line in his own game is especially insulting.
In terms of what? To me the hover boots, the arena and the Dimensionater/Lombax meeting is similar to A Crack In Time but the rest of the using of the ship, humour and more is fairly common, 2016 like still and otherwise caught up. Either way it remixes AGAIN (sometimes in fun fan service ways with characters in others less interesting like the Buzz Blades for the fifth or sixth time we have had that weapon now, that type of annoying) but has a few new things that are alright but not as cool as A Crack In Time I find at least. Visiting Sargasso (second level) got boring quick even for a second visit I'll say that. To me Rift Apart even for playing about 4-5 levels besides seeing someone else in my family play the story. I find it less interesting then a Crack In Time. Ratchet to me still feels like he is better but still 2016 weak, he isn't a nerd but his dialogue is either telling the player or average, less interesting then A Crack In Time or other PS3 entries, very 2010's kids movie generic while Rivet actually talks better and makes the game more interesting due to who she encounters.
@@suntannedduck2388 i am sorry Rivet has the depth of a tea pot. mate she is such a non-risk character what is her flaw? what is her wound? she is simply heroic. she gets defeated once, but than she rescue everyone and instantly forgive kit for taking out her arm. she side-line ratchet in his own damn game. Rivet is a classic example of a merry sue character. meanwhile a crack in time has a tone of freaking risks taken. it had ratchet been betrayed and two people dying one of them been the main protagonist. in comparison a rift apart is a toddler movie ! don't get me wrong this is not unsalvageable you can still make Rivet a good character but you have to give her a significant flaw in the next game. Kit is less worse than Rivet in comparison but she still needs more than just "not wanting to hurt people because of unknown reason"
Gotta be honest, there was a difference between my expectations and why I clicked on this video versus what was delivered. In terms of why I clicked: I saw a spoiler free review, I like your videos enough to have subscribed a while back. I have bought and played through about half of Rift Apart so far. I wanted to see if our opinions matched or differed. What I got: Fair play, you gave a time code for skipping the preamble, which seems to be half of the video. That section felt more like a channel update. I'm not sure if you were trying to set context or something but I did know half the content wasn't what I came here for. You were lambasting your 16 year old self and showing me Devil May Cry footage. So we get to 15:14 and we're talking about Ratchet & Clank 2016. I know you mention, during the Spider-Man bit, that you feel it's important context, but the gold I came here for is buried in the closing 10 minutes and even then, it feels like there are a lot of tangents. I think that's going to harm watch time, retention, and other key metrics. Maybe this could have been two videos with two different goals rather than the combination we got? I'm not trying to discourage you, but I do want to give you insight as a viewer.
Was thinking about this comment. I think an important reason why this video failed when it comes to views, is the fact that in hindsight, it doesn't have an appeal. This video came out exactly how *I* wanted it to. However, I didn't think of what an audience might want to see. As two separate videos, it definitely would have worked out a lot better. It basically is two videos as the first half was made in May and the second half was made this week. The first half was changed a lot from it's original version to better match the fact that there were some things I said that would be completely irrelevant by the game coming out and being really good. As two different videos, I think there is an appeal to both, but as one video, there isn't. Like, I have thought about changing the title to just being about how Rift Apart was really good, but the entire first half is then something completely out of nowhere. Not many ways to win here. Probably won't do a video like this again.
@@JsReviews I'm really sorry to have discouraged you. The gold was in there, just took a while to get there was all. Once we were there though, spot on, enjoyed it.
Nah you are good. I think this was a valid comment. And I don't think this was a terrible video, but one that should have been done a little differently.

Ratchet and clank is best series ever
Made in (2002-2021)
Neat
hey im comfuesd on how you think the Writing is if it is complelety better then tools or if it dosnt make thoes same mistake in wrtiting even if you still have to buy into that shit that wasnt what the series truly was about when it started on ps2 also how much cringe doses this one have compared to 2016 ratchet and clank
That spoof review of TOD is already one of my favourite bits on this entire channel. The 2007 mic and video quality made it perfect.
Don't beat yourself around the bush, everyone was stupid at the age of 16-19
Heck some still stay stupid after that period
I wasn't. I was stupid at 21-24.
To beat around the bush means to faff around / not address the point directly.
I didn't have that 3 year gap, i was about 5% stupid for 16 years
I was wondering if Secret Agent Clank would be remembered in this video. Here's hoping you can reach your goal and give that game despair.
I can't wait to play Rift Apart. I say this because those gosh darn Pley-Stashon doo hickeys are so hard to find right now.
Is that a reference to Cronk?
@@FlyingV555 Now that I think about, yeah kind of. I liked the comic relief Cronk and Zephyr provided.
@@finnbai I had to ask because the doo hickey part reminded me of Cronk. And I like those guys too. A shame they had to get killed off the way they were.
@@FlyingV555 R.I.P Cronk and Zephyr
So do you have a PS5 now after 7 months? give us an update
I would love playing rift apart since it looks really fun.... problem is I’m lacking a 500$ dollar machine that is required to play the game
same
Guess we have to earn some.
I have the money but it’s really hard to get a PS5 because of those freaking scalpers
and i'm lackin not just 500 buck, but the extra 10 to buy the game, fuck being poor is really a curse
@@keyman245 the game is $70 though, or €80 in europe
Definitely not real fact: Insomniac designed this game to be free of loading as an apology for Secret Agent Clank on PS2.
@Dandy Crow he meant that comment as a joke dude
You actually can turn off the game’s dialogue. Setting
5:20 you also have to remember that the reboot was made in 10 months, Rift Apart had a few years
Rift Apart is a great return to form and one of my favorites if not my favorite
So relieved that Rift Apart finally got the tone right, at least from what people are saying, I won't be able to play it for a while :/
Thanks for the review J!

@@jonahabenhaim1223 Who are you and why should we care about your game?
Blame Illumination, Sony Animation and more these days for doing it. Thats the humour inspirations right there. We can't have adult jokes in films anymore because I assume it was too much in the mid 2000's or something for parents and people had to change them to be dumber and making poop, fart or just bland characterisation in kids films a thing. Whatever dumb kid logic they can come up with as well as changes with the times for the worst. Never seen it in Pixar ever and they are the 1 western movie studio I can still stand unlike Blue Sky (dead now) and any others that did and probably still do it.
We had crude and fairly suitable for all ages depending on the joke changed to overly childish and enjoyed by no one teen and up. Even in Anime I can watch a kids show and still laugh, I can't do that with any western kids shows or films as they just love to jump at any culturally relevant nonsense or talking down to viewers too much.
Big Bang to me seemed just as crude and nerd stereotypes in the beginning before changing to a more mainstream stale style later on the more characters, standard family shows end up being.
@@jonahabenhaim1223 oh if only people asked
Portal 2, Scott Pilgrim, Deadpool, Borderlands and Saints Row ruined pop culture dialogue. Now none of those properties are bad but they started some bad trends
Rift apart is so much fun. Currently on my 3rd playthrough. This game and doing insane challenges in Resident Evil Village has completely taken up my gaming time
Getting level 5 on weapons changes the name and adds a mechanic to it. Basic pistol shoots three bullets at a time, as an example
The Ratchet 1-5 and then 5-MAX weapon scalins is one of the best reasons to play a New Game +
Random thought but damn…With the new generation of consoles…
It’s time for Rocksteady to make a Batman Beyond Game.
That would have been cool to see instead were getting a suicide squad game from them...
@alexcabrera6380 and it's not that good
@@alexcabrera6380 and it's pretty mid
Solid video, chief.
Oh hey it’s you
I’m curious, now that RA has released how do you feel about the game now? (Assuming you have played it.)
Am I the only one who still loves TOD ? I think it has some of the best planets in the entire series yes even including RA.
Eh, I've always thought Tools of Destruction was an okay game. Good story, good voice acting, but some weird choices in my opinion. It pails in comparison to A Crack In Time which does nearly everything Tools does...but better. Not to say Tools is bad, it's just if I had to choose a Ratchet & Clank Future game to go back to, it's going to be A Crack In Time
ToD is amazing. It just suffers from some pretty severe difficulty spikes and dogwater checkpoints, but otherwise it's a great game. I might even go as far as to say that ToD is better than ACiT overall
@@TheTeknicalRonanill add that Tools of Destruction sadly never got trophy 🏆 support added in. A Crack in Time was not only better, but it being the first major Ratchet game with a trophy list gave it more replay value than Tools ( which I've never fully replayed to date)
you know J, I think that being a bit analytical has a charm to it, I'm really enjoying your recent videos but I really do enjoy one hour reviews of games I know or love, this is ofc my biased opinion but still, that's just how I feel
also, eh, please um make a spoiler review, I really enjoy the story discussion
Going commando to deadlocked we're simply the best most fun ratchet has ever been for me and likely ever will be. Deadlocked was a great twist on a ratchet game.
Finally getting to play Deadlocked on PS+. It's great i just wish it had a Vita port, its the perfect portable Ratchet game
I feel like in 2022 the best way for ratchet and clank to go forward is to adopt some ideas from doom eternal. Fast paced combat with an emphasis on dodging and powerful weapons.Broken up by hard, but forgiving platforming.
But that’s just my opinion
That wouldn’t be a bad idea but shouldn’t go too far with taking it’s mechanics just take some of those ideas and put a twist on it
smelly idea tbh - they should just go back to the PS2 days of R&C and actually start making good games again
Excited for the rest of the R&C retrospective I saw you tease on your patreon! I was thinking about trying R&C on PSnow and your reviews are def making me think about it since I recently played Sly Cooper(loving that). Excited your back man.
I absolutely love Rift Apart. It's definitely in my top 3 in the entire franchise.
I found your Ratchet and Clank 2016 comments interesting. I've only ever had Nintendo systems. When I got my wife a PS5 for Christmas I got a bunch of games for her PS4, and R&C2016 is the first PS game I'm playing through, and having never played a R&C game before, I think this is great. No idea what's come before or sense, but 2016 is a lot of fun!
R&C 2016 was great! One of my favorite ps4 games. The biggest criticisms of it were: the game length was very short, the story was corny, and as a remake of the original 2002 game it didn't "add" enough "new content." None of those things are really an issue enjoying a new console trying out the best PlayStation games. You were just happy to play such a fun game. Ratchet is one of the only series I love that equals Mario and Rayman
I've watched many of reviews of ToD, and every criticism is fair. But it seems like the R&C community has come to this hive-mind conclusion that ToD is this monstrous disappointment that derailed the whole franchise. I don't see it that way at all. It was a great game and it was modestly responsible for continuing the legacy into the next generation. I definitely get the criticisms - I have many of my own as well - but it saddens me to see it get used as a standard for a game that disappoints after the first playthrough.
Too bad I can't really play this due to not owning (and frankly not wanting one anyway) a PS5. Really looking forward to the redo's on Ratchets 1-3 and how you tackle those now compared to the older videos.
For someone who is getting the PS5 in a few days and I haven't had a Playstation system since the PS2 I'm VERY excited to be able to not only play the fitst main 4 games but also games 5-8 I missed on ps3 and 4 and I can't wait to make it all the way to rift apart I just wish someday jak and daxter make a come back too
This R&C game is one of my favourite R&C game in the series however compared to the older R&C games. It’s not that difficult especially if you find most of the Gold bolts and unlock the cheats that let you have infinite amount of shit such as infinite amount of health and ammunition beaches 👍
Hey J, did you know that Ratchet’s voice actor is the same voice actor that voiced Obi Wan Kenobi in the clone wars and Johnny test? James Arnold Taylor.
And about Rift apart being the last, Its said that its the first in the trilogy that will be on ps5, so expect two other Ratchet and Clank games on the ps5. Every story needs to come to its end, but it feels like even if the story ends, you could still technically continue it.
The game was amazing and after I finished Rift apart you knew there will be more, and in addition (or adding back) save slots just begs for me doing my own challange runs.
Bloodborne made me get a ps4, and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart made me get a ps5, obviously other games too but those were the big ones. Huge fan of the series and Insomniacs Ratchet and clank anniversary is next year, so we might get a treat before the second game in the ps5 trilogy.
Where was this trilogy thing revealed? Was this revealed in an interview or somewhere else?
@@FlyingV555 I can’t really say it’s 100% confirmed, but I think it came from an employee working for insomniac. I randomly read it at the comment section on a rift apart video that somebody was a close friend of somebody working there. That’s why I said “it’s said” so we can only hope that it’s true. And to be honest since Sony acquired insomniac and made them a triple A studio I doubt this is the last game. Ratchet and clank could be like Mario or Zelda with endless adventures even though the games story just keep getting bigger.
@@triledink if it’s someone from a comment section take it with a grain of salt. I hope they make more games, but at the same time, I kinda wish they would just find a place to end it. End the series on a high note.
@@FlyingV555 that’s a possibility, but no one 100% yet knows. Though expect something from insomniac 2022 aka the 20 year ratchet and Clank anniversary. Maybe a teaser or something.
Did you know that: this whole scene (10:44 here :p) was supposed to be in the movie.
Ratchet and Clank are the fun game
Hey J have you ever reviewed the generation 1 transformers show? If you haven't then I recommend reviewing it since I think it's a really nice show and there are other good transformer shows out there
it nice that we are getting recreations of the ratchet and clank trilogy but the question i have is when will your review the spiderman titles that Insomniac games created
You're actually the first and inly person I've donated to but not sure how to get to the bonus stuff... I'm happy enough knowing you're supported that bit more by me.
Also as someone who was born in 98 and got sonic 06 with my ps3 I really appreciate your review on it as I share a lot of thoughts. And it is my favorite sonic game. You did it justice.
Ratchet and Clank might be my most favorite series and am super excited to know your doing more on them.
You're 100% right about the the 2016 game was very pretty but pretty lifeless otherwise, it probably be fine for kids or non fans but I missed all the personality the older games had
It's very interesting to compare this video with the recent Dunkey video. I do agree more with you rather than comparing Rift Apart to Cars 2 and Doom Eternal.
I definitely agree about the raritanium, it just feels like there's an extra step inbetween upgrading my weapons. I will say though I'm not the biggest fan of the weapons in Rift Apart since there's alot of overlap. Doom blades feel like a worse gun than lightning storm. The burst pistol gets out classed by the black hole machine gun. The warmonger rocket launcher is us a worse version of the drill hound since it can't multi lockon. And it has 4 weapons that just auto attack enemies; bombardier, Mr fungi, glove of doom and topiary sprinkler. Finally the RYNO 8 is definitely the lamest big final gun in a while. It can clear some weak enemies, but unless you get a direct hit on bosses it doesn't do much, just feels more like an Easter egg gun for Sony games.
Awesome! I've been playing through every main Ratchet game (1, 2, 3, Tools, Booty, Crack, Nexus) ever since Rift Apart was announced. I loved all of them (some more than others), and it will be awesome to see your opinions on them, refined.
So, been a year now. Is this Rift Apart getting a proper review soon?
Probably not. Check out The Golden Bolt for great Ratchet reviews.
@@JsReviews That's a shame. I had been considering giving Golden Bolt a look though.
@@dolphinsniper His 1 1/2 hour retrospective of RA is great
I've saved up the money to buy a PS5 over the past year and I STILL can't get one. I just wanna play Rift Apart man
While I have my issues with this game, like I have a really hard time buying this is the og continuity, given how Ratchet is portrayed here, it is good to see you’ve grown out of your (like you said) “pretentious douch” phase
I think it’s really funny how the PS5 just had a better first year than the PS4
Gotta admit , as someone who kind of put off on your channel after the R&C future reviews it's nice to know that you've changed for the better since then .
Example 1: Spider-Man. Includes a momentum system and creative dialog with a snarky MC
Example 2: Ratchet Series. Includes rail grinding, upgrades, alternate paths, social commentary, and a tiny bit of edge
Conclusion: Insomniac wants to make a Sonic game
This might be the best launch title Sony has ever had
Yep with absolutely zero competition lmao also nice to see another gundam fan
@@skibot9974 close enough
J in the sonic avdenture 2 review Gerald Robotnick didn't want to kill is grandson, that's way he somehow manage to send eggman to sonic's world with know humans.

@@skibot9974 nothing
J your old videos were really funny. I enjoyed them.
All-inclusive Ratchet and Clank retrospective?
Happy to hear your thoughts on the Spider-Man games from insomniac 🙂 I have played 2018 *on ps4, I haven't played remastered yet, but I still enjoyed Spider-Man ps4* and I haven't touched miles Morales, but it was really really damn gold, I'm glad you managed to play the ps5 versions of both 2018 and miles Morales, are they your favorite superhero games as of this moment *or at least maybe in terms of marvel games or favorite superhero game in general* and also which ps5 do you have? The all digital edition or the full package with the disc drive?
Currently playing Rift Apart and yeah it’s pretty damn good.
Wow, you're sponsored. Congrats!
Woah woah woah you’re mgs 2 video is great
The only Ratchet and Clank game I have is Size Matters on the PSP.
Can I just say fuck Sixaxis? Because of that I literally cant play the copy of Into the Nexus I bought (or Wolf Among Us Season 1) because my freaking PS4 controller is recognized as just a USB controller. Thanks Sony.
I think at least on this game there is an option to replace the sixaxis motion with the right analog stick, unlike Folklore for example. I am not a "motion hater", I think it can be cool sometimes, but the Sixaxis was terrible in every game it was supported.
But even without it, unfortunately the DS4 support on PS3 was not well done. Some games like Gran Turismo titles dont work at all, this game doesnt use sixaxis, it just stops working when you enter a race.
I found Zurkon Jr is hilarious tbh
Motion blur kills my eyes
So uhhh…it’s been about a year 😊
I didnt play the PS3 future series but I did jump back on with the 2016 game literally got the platinum a few days ago. Will get Rift Apart pretty soon.
He's back let's go.
Really wish Capcom would look at Rift Apart as an example of how to make a 3D Mega Man X game, also i feel like a mega man level select type would benefits Ratchet & Clank greatly :)
A game about a space rodent and a robot going to different planets on their ship would be good to not have different planets but a boss select screen? What?
Can't wait for these re reviews of the Ratchet series J. I was already excited to play Rift apart but you've convinced to grab a PS5 just for this game. patrons please make it so J can finish destroying Secret agent Clank
I thought Into the Nexus was the last entry?
Last of the future series and last game that was part of the original canon before Rift Apart, which is standalone and continues the canon.
@@FlyingV555 gotcha. J confused me in the beginning saying Crack in Time was the last entry.
Hey mr zurkon is a fucking Delight
Just got Rift Apart about 2 days ago and it's really great. I really disliked Ratchet 2016. I think it's one of the most soulless video games i've ever played. But Rift Apart is a lot better.
maybe its because of i was late to playing this series but i still found 2016 a fun game regardless.
I know I'm being pedantic, but it's called the Phantom Dash. I thought the number of times Phantom emphasised the name after you got the ability would be overkill to hammer it in, but it would seem I was wrong.
"Try out your phantom dash"
"Jump and phantom dash"
"Wanna even further? Jump and phantom dash!"
I was wondering when your next video was yay
Super excited to see more sponsored videos. Congrats man, well deserved! And now, onto the video
lololol i lovedd zurkon jr scratched the invader zim itch
Uhhhhhhh that's not how the blaster works in rift apart. It's adaptive trigger tech.
I'm exited for all the ratchet and clank reviews!
Interesting that you don’t like Tools of Destruction that much. That’s honestly my favorite game in the series besides Rift Apart and Into the Nexus. Then again I know I’m a weird Ratchet and Clank fan because I prefer Going Commando over Up Your Arsenal and Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time (gameplay wise anyway).
i don`t get all the hate for 2016s rac. it is a very good game
Maybe it's because it was my First Ratchet game, but I still dearly love 2016. Yeah the story being tied to that weak movie bogs It Down but ultimately It's a budget game done in less than 20 months, if anything it shows how damn good Insomniac are at what they do. I think Rift Apart is a masterpiece, the best in the series with a crack in time.
It was done in about 10 months to be exact
lmao that TOD review was perfect with the awful mic quality and 240p gameplay footage from 2007
Phantom dash.
J's reviews ,Any thoughts on THE easter egg? You know the one that im talking about
Hey J, now that the "tweaked" version of x6 has been released, do you plan on reviewing it?
I’m definitely not the first person to ask but what do you guys think of Rivet?
Okay no spoilers but there’s no way they don’t make another game with the way it ended
I so hope rift apart gets gyro aiming as an option in a later patch
It doesn't as far as I can tell, no setting for it or any feeling, only Triggers and Haptive Feedback. Not even Touchpad support or I think even the Mic either. I'm disappointed honestly. To me Nintendo consoles or the odd Devs willing to from PS4 games are the only ones worth caring about enhancements to games. Sony just don't bother. I'd love it if they did add Gyro to many of their games, I'm right there with you. Even Horizon I'm surprised doesn't with the bow. I like Splatoon and Botw for the gyro aiming on Wii U and loved used Gyro with Galgun or Gravity Rush or certain Vita games.
@@suntannedduck2388 I think all we can do is tell developers to add it. Cause the main reason why they don't is because either they don't know what it is, or they don't know that a lot of people want it
If we can get enough people to ask politely, then they may add it. I mean, the Last of Us part 2 has it
Also, I'm glad they don't use the mic. There's nothing a mic can do that pressing a button can do more efficiently in singleplayer games. It should only be used chat, voice search and nothing else.
But the touchpad is something they could use. Granted, in steam, it's really only used as more buttons. But that's still kinda useful. Maybe using a touch menu for more weapons shortcuts
@@teneesh3376 They know what it is. There was Sixaxis controls in Tools Of Destruction and A Crack In Time for certain weapons or the Glider. They haven't use Gyro since though to my knowledge. But I haven't played the new Spiderman games either.
I think they don't think many people use it. Even polls state people don't care about it from videos I've seen by people that do care about Gyro (at least in Nerrel's video I remember, not checked out too many others or the results outside that). But I agree there is an audience for it out there. I did not know Last Of Us 2 had it. I know it had the Guitar touchpad minigame though. Glad to know Naughty Dog added it. I didn't played it but I know from footage/know of someone that played it. I still wonder if IR with the Gyro is better though as I've been exploring Red Steel 2 and more Wii games I missed besides the few PS3 with Sixaxis, Move or 3DS/Wii U games with it.
Mics I think are great for audio logs at least but otherwise used besides a headset in multiplayer or search yes.
I think the swiping is great. Besides Killzone Shadowfall for the robot. Galgun for its touch minigames which really challenged me and I have no idea how much better on Vita it must be with a larger Touchpad length compared to the Dualshock 4's being really small (besides decent Gyro support), using half the touchpad for different buttons in Nier Automata (1 inventory the other something else I forget). I think swiping is fine but using the 2 halves or 4 quadrants is great. I liked the quadrants for sprinting and otherwise in certain Vita games but the corners were usually used so it got awkward sometimes rather than beneficial. I know Steam can use the Dualshock 4 in really cool ways and I appreciate that. Never used one that way but still good just like pro contrillers or the backbutton attachment to have the extra inputs. I assume that attachment isn't recognised on steam is it? I should get one and find out I think. I assume one is still available at one of my local stores.
The touchpad for selecting weapons would be cool, instead of the D-Pad or changing the Triggers/Haptic levels without needing the menu, the hoverboot charging besides using L2 would have been cool or something really clever. Ah the possibilities!!! Astrobot still seems like the game that uses it in good and bad ways and knows how. Rift Apart could have done similar and improved on the better areas Astro did good with Gyro when using a bow, Touchpad in interesting ways but it seems they wanted to focus on other things instead or don't consider the audience for the past controller features maybe. That or its too small an audience and needs to get bigger. At most besides the few games I use the touchpad to skip tv series intros when watching DVDs & Blu-Rays just because its fun and to give it some use. XD
@@suntannedduck2388 the thing about polls on the internet. When audiences talk about it, it's usually people who are actively searching for it and not the general population. Also with the poll that is shown in Nerrel's video, that's an older one. A newer one by the same site shows better reception with a more votes
But the point is that the people who vote on those are people who are actively invested in gyro aiming. Whether it be people who love it or hate it. And the few inbetweeners just going through the internet
Also with the ps3 ratchet and clank games, sure. They have motion controls. But it wasn't gyro aiming. It was just moving ratchet when skydiving or something. So there's a chance they just don't know about it. Or them not knowing people want it. Hard to say without the developers saying it. We can only assume
And swiping is okay. Honestly the touchpad intergration is a take it or leave situation. It doesn't really change how the game plays. Only making things a little more convient. Gyro aiming however, give it me as an option
I'm just taking doom on the switch as a reference. It got gyro aiming because a lot people asked for it. Always with switch games. I wished the same thing goes for sony games. Kinda a 50 50 chance.
This last part is a rant, so ignore if you don't care. I'm mad that classic Doom 1, 2 and 64 have gyro aiming on the ps4, but eternal doesn't. What, WHY? I'm sorry. Bethesda. WHAT?!
@@teneesh3376 Fair points made, agreed the pole was old, I should check newer ones, can completely see why that and other factors would be the case. I won't deny that early Sixaxis was not great. Even Heavenly Sword with the crossbow your directing a bolt/arrow the same way as Ratchet in those sections rather than effecting the aiming (its weird but the aiming in that game wasn't that easy sometimes depending on the scene/level so navigating the arrows was a good thing) so it does feel just as odd as Wii waggle actions yes rather than smart use of it. I think Resistance 3 or Killzone 3 with the Move may have been good but my Move stuffs up on PS3 after its connected to PS4 or my Mini USB cable isn't working too great, no clue yet so can't try those again any time soon but I do remember Killzone 3 being great like a more active gallery shooting experience once I finally got a PS Eye for cheap and played a bit of the first level again. But of course Vita and Dualshock 4 use Sixaxis still just better so it took time to learn the right ways to use it like with any new technology.
Don't have a Switch but I bet Doom on Switch is great and the gyro aiming is worth it even for the graphical differences. Is unfortunate none for the older titles but I assume it was supposed to be a simple port job and thats ir.
Anyways nice talking.
Use topiary to level up weapons faster in challenge mode k
I didn’t grow up with Ratchet and clank, the first one I played was Ratchet and Clank 2016 a month ago at 26 years old, and I enjoyed it quite a lot, i love the Zurkons. I would pick that game any day over Spider Man 2018 and Miles Morales
I definitely should of skipped to 16:00 omg. I regret not skipping.

This gave me a lot of hope for when I do eventually play this game because I'm such a big fan of the series, but didn't like what 2016 did. Hopefully, I can find a PS5 soon.
Also, it still blows my mind that we're the same age. I need to hurry up and get off my ass and start this CZcams shit fr...
Well we’re lucky it’s nothing like 2016
... I can't be the only one who thinks into the Nexus was the best of the future games, can I?
Nexus isn't actually a future game, since "future" is not part of the title, but it's still the last of the PS3 trilogy. Not counting the spin-offs, of course (A4O and FFA). Nexus is really good. Underrated, even. But it has performance issues and it's a short game, so people give it a bit too much trash in my opinion
I still can’t find a PS5
Great video? Will you be live streaming soon?
J do you like kimpembe???
I like that the weapon upgrades you get in RA don't actually increase the weapons damage output and they remain the same level of power. When you level up the weapon it instead unlocks more raritanium upgrade tree spaces you can make at the vendor which upgrade things like rate of fire, max ammo, area of affect and bonuses that let you target more enemies etc. It helps the weapons remain balanced and viable through the whole game I found, the older games always had the problem of the early weapons becoming useless after a certain point because they did barely any damage to the enemies and they became damage sponges. I believe they designed it like this intentionally in the earlier games to encourage players to buy new weapons but I think this way is a better compromise without hard nerfing the early weapons, I mean I feel like by now people don't need to be forced to buy new weapons in a RaC game. The enemies do still get stronger as you progress through the game and that incentive to buy stronger weapons is still there, but things like the shatterbomb and enforcer you get in the prologue still remain very useful,so I think they met a good middle ground in this game.
Spiderman
I hope they do DLC for rift apart.
bro storywise rift apart was terrible. the story has such a non risk to it i think encanto was the only story i know who is less risky. also having ratchet side-line in his own game is especially insulting.
My biggest Quastian:
Who its Ratchet and clank rift apart compared to Ratchet and clank Crack in time?
In terms of what? To me the hover boots, the arena and the Dimensionater/Lombax meeting is similar to A Crack In Time but the rest of the using of the ship, humour and more is fairly common, 2016 like still and otherwise caught up. Either way it remixes AGAIN (sometimes in fun fan service ways with characters in others less interesting like the Buzz Blades for the fifth or sixth time we have had that weapon now, that type of annoying) but has a few new things that are alright but not as cool as A Crack In Time I find at least. Visiting Sargasso (second level) got boring quick even for a second visit I'll say that. To me Rift Apart even for playing about 4-5 levels besides seeing someone else in my family play the story. I find it less interesting then a Crack In Time. Ratchet to me still feels like he is better but still 2016 weak, he isn't a nerd but his dialogue is either telling the player or average, less interesting then A Crack In Time or other PS3 entries, very 2010's kids movie generic while Rivet actually talks better and makes the game more interesting due to who she encounters.
@@suntannedduck2388 i am sorry Rivet has the depth of a tea pot. mate she is such a non-risk character what is her flaw? what is her wound? she is simply heroic. she gets defeated once, but than she rescue everyone and instantly forgive kit for taking out her arm. she side-line ratchet in his own damn game. Rivet is a classic example of a merry sue character.
meanwhile a crack in time has a tone of freaking risks taken. it had ratchet been betrayed and two people dying one of them been the main protagonist. in comparison a rift apart is a toddler movie !
don't get me wrong this is not unsalvageable you can still make Rivet a good character but you have to give her a significant flaw in the next game. Kit is less worse than Rivet in comparison but she still needs more than just "not wanting to hurt people because of unknown reason"
The only thing I hate about the remaster is Spider-Man's face. WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BABY!?!?!?
22:33 Also, it's a good thing I have Tools of Destruction. I have barely any of the games, and I'm going to replay them.
Gotta be honest, there was a difference between my expectations and why I clicked on this video versus what was delivered.
In terms of why I clicked: I saw a spoiler free review, I like your videos enough to have subscribed a while back. I have bought and played through about half of Rift Apart so far. I wanted to see if our opinions matched or differed.
What I got: Fair play, you gave a time code for skipping the preamble, which seems to be half of the video. That section felt more like a channel update. I'm not sure if you were trying to set context or something but I did know half the content wasn't what I came here for. You were lambasting your 16 year old self and showing me Devil May Cry footage.
So we get to 15:14 and we're talking about Ratchet & Clank 2016. I know you mention, during the Spider-Man bit, that you feel it's important context, but the gold I came here for is buried in the closing 10 minutes and even then, it feels like there are a lot of tangents.
I think that's going to harm watch time, retention, and other key metrics. Maybe this could have been two videos with two different goals rather than the combination we got? I'm not trying to discourage you, but I do want to give you insight as a viewer.
Was thinking about this comment. I think an important reason why this video failed when it comes to views, is the fact that in hindsight, it doesn't have an appeal. This video came out exactly how *I* wanted it to. However, I didn't think of what an audience might want to see. As two separate videos, it definitely would have worked out a lot better. It basically is two videos as the first half was made in May and the second half was made this week. The first half was changed a lot from it's original version to better match the fact that there were some things I said that would be completely irrelevant by the game coming out and being really good. As two different videos, I think there is an appeal to both, but as one video, there isn't. Like, I have thought about changing the title to just being about how Rift Apart was really good, but the entire first half is then something completely out of nowhere. Not many ways to win here. Probably won't do a video like this again.
@@JsReviews I'm really sorry to have discouraged you. The gold was in there, just took a while to get there was all. Once we were there though, spot on, enjoyed it.
Nah you are good. I think this was a valid comment. And I don't think this was a terrible video, but one that should have been done a little differently.
Why is spider man in the thumbnail
wait a fucking second, RIft Apart is a sequel to 2016 or to the original series?
