A Retrospective on The STELLAR Debut of Ratchet And Clank

[@Deconstruction_Administrator]

A detail you may have missed: If you pay attention on Orxon, you'll notice different evironment types separated by the crevasses over toxic muck, implying that Orxon is/was another planet built from components of other planets.

[@MrJarheadTV]

I haven't played since this review so I can't totally recall if I picked up on that or not but that makes a ton of sense

[@AlryFireBlade]

Can you name examples for this? As much as I would love to believe it. I can't really see that.

[@Deconstruction_Administrator]

@AlryFireBlade Ratchet exploration after getting the O2 Mask. Easiest part to spot this is when you hover down from the ship and go left, where the gunship starts attacking you, make your way through a small structure, then there's a platforming section. Pay attention to the different 'ground' part of the platform ingredients, and you'll see that they don't quite match as a consistent form of terrain for such a small area.

[@AlryFireBlade]

@@Deconstruction_Administrator hmm I sadly dont really see what you mean, but the theory is awesome. But I think thats not a detail thay thought of.

[@BranSnakes]

The production quality on this video is insane! Great job :)

[@MrJarheadTV]

Thank you I appreciate it!

[@jeremybriggs6951]

13:38 actually that makes me hate him even more so. What the fuck he thinks before when everybody’s home planet is getting destroyed?!

[@jeremybriggs6951]

Did he seriously think that people was just over exaggerating about what’s going on in the galaxy?

[@MrJarheadTV]

Ratchet's definitely just a very selfish brat for a majority of the first game with little empathy. As I mentioned it's pretty psychotic when you think about it. It was a good call by the developers to revamp his character going forward

[@jeremybriggs6951]

@@MrJarheadTV Oh that’s most definitely man to everything you mention And I quite emphasize with him on being stuck on a planet for god knows how long, and For those that defends this dynamic. I’ll get the terms character development but I’ve seen better from The beginning of a character growth that has somewhat of a Nauseous and Don’t turn off The players entrance of that set character and what makes Him think that his own home planet is not going to be in danger just like everyone else. Which is ironic considering that he just calling clank out for falling into Captain quirks trap. I’m glad that they did kept Ratchet personality after going commando.

[@fakeninja4447]

​@@jeremybriggs6951 Arthur Morgan, a mass murderer: Good man. Well deserved redemption. Known as one of the best characters in gaming. Ratchet: Selfish. Hateable. Psychotic. Why are some morally gray characters beloved while Ratchet is hated? Is not caring enough about strangers worse than killing hundreds of innocent people? I don't get it. I personally like when characters have a bit more to them than just being the classic good guy hero. And besides, every person Ratchet and Clank encountered just tried to rip them off in some way. The game is centered around greed and consumerism after all. Ratchet even says things like "Sell?! After we just saved your scrawny butt?!". But maybe I'm just still angry about how Ratchet turned out in the 2016 reboot. He is completely devoid of any personality whatsoever there. The Ratchet in the first game has the most interesting personality by far IMO. I wish they had kept it.

[@superlombax1561]

11:55 And let’s not forget that they would likely have to take out Qwark anyway since he was working for Drek.

[@MrJarheadTV]

Super Lombax True but Qwark's just the spokesman, Drek's the one actually killing people so I just think Ratchet's priorities were out of line

[@superlombax1561]

MrJarhead - Game Reviews You’re not wrong, but I think Qwark was also meant to sorta be the bodyguard to Drek as well. So like what ended up happening with the Gemlik Base, he would’ve sent him to take out Ratchet & Clank sooner or later. I mainly say this because this is something Clank could’ve brought up to sorta still keep Ratchet on the path, which he kinda still goes on anyway. Though maybe not since Clank is still kinda naïve at that point in time.

[@MrJarheadTV]

Yeah that's a good point and I do agree with you. It's not so much the idea of taking out Qwark that is the problem. I think Qwark needed to be taken out eventually since as you said he did act as a bodyguard for Drek. However while Ratchet's quest for vengeance is understandable, I think Ratchet should've just stayed focused on Drek. Actively straying away from their main target the way Ratchet did just cost more and more lives. As you said, If Drek sent Qwark after them then they just cross that bridge when they come to it, rather than prioritizing Qwark.

[@Big_Stin]

This is the best one yet I love it! You explain this game extremely well in a funny and well informed way. I can't believe how well edited this one was too. Absolutely amazing.

[@MrJarheadTV]

Thank you Mr Stin it's always wonderful hearing such praise from you, this is probably my favorite one I've done so far too. I feel like my editing is atleast the best on this one for sure

[@Dallasrocker124]

Growing up, I was always a ratchet & clank guy. I remember taking my ps2 to my aunt's house growing up and playing hours upon hours of it with my cousins from Mexico. The gemlik base ALWAYS goes hard in my eyes, the music and the fucking atmosphere dude, there's a sun right RIGHT FUCKING THERE.

[@MrJarheadTV]

It's definitely my favorite level in the game. It's so atmospheric in its design, has the best music, a unique boss fight, a key character moment for Ratchet. It's so so good, it's always great hearing from you Eddie thanks for always supporting

[@Dallasrocker124]

@@MrJarheadTV that whole game really stood out to me when I was like 8, I know Jak and daxter had beloved games but fate always had me checking out the ratchet and clank series, hell the first time I bought up your arsenal was in 2015. What I did a lot back then also was look at the sky in the levels because I think the second planet you go to is at night and I always loved how you could see planets that were really close to you and you could see shooting stars or ships

[@MrJarheadTV]

I've always thought that was a really cool detail. The skies in Ratchet and Clank are fantastic

[@Dallasrocker124]

@@MrJarheadTV but on the real, that game has one of the best stories imo. It's an interplanetary journey

[@MrJarheadTV]

Yeah it's a simple with a coherent premise, it's not anything overly complex but the characters make it work so so well. And like you said the interplanetary aspect of it ties everything together so nicely making it really feel like this grand adventure

9:52 jesus king what happened

[@MrJarheadTV]

Nayotic I for some reason could not talk at ALL doing this voiceover. I literally messed that line up 7 or 8 times but of course I had to cut it down to 3 to keep the joke from getting stale. There were several other lines that I had to do over and over again but yeah... I have no clue what was wrong during this session

Much obliged my man

[@haroeneissa790]

One thing that annoys me about this game is the lack of invincibility frames in combat which sometimes results in you losing all your lives in like 3 seconds when multiple enemies punch you at once if you make one little mistake.

[@MrJarheadTV]

True, that's always something that was annoying about Ratchet 1
