From a story perspective, making Azimuth the final boss instead of nefarious was brilliant. The fact that you now have to fight potentially the only other member of your race is just gut wrenching. Such a fantastic story

[@MariaCV_30.94]

JOSHIE G. Yeah, me too :'(

[@jakandratchet9930]

JOSHIE G. Same. In my opinion, this was easily the most impactful boss in the entire franchise. How it’s set up, what’s at stake, how the atmosphere captures all of it, and how emotionally driven it is. I think the ending was done perfectly, and having Azimuth as the final boss was a great twist. I wish we could’ve seen him again though, in some way, shape or form. I know he had a statue made for him in that museum in Into The Nexus, but I wish there could’ve been somewhat more. I’d love to see like an apparition or vision of Azimuth, or even Kaden. It would’ve been heartwarming to see. I can just imagine Kaden and Azimuth in the afterlife.

[@elton9721]

I feel his desire to bring back the lombaxes was far greater than his love for Ratchet. Thinking the great clock would bring him back, no biggie. Hurt a little now and gain a lot more in the future. In the end, it would have been much darker if he got to the chamber before clank.

[@brandonbaerga4972]

Cello Van der vegte what the hell it was setting up this fight from the moment these two met

I think he just had way too much health. I run out of ammo well before the second phase even began. I think that was a problem with all crack in time bosses. Either they had too much health or the guns did so little damage. It was the only game I got the RYNO for just to beat Azimuth and the secret Vorselon fight after getting all Zoni

[@CyberLance26]

Yea its the best game in the series to me and i wish all the games could focus on making the story and the characters as great as this one.

[@ffann100]

Clank puzzles are the best thing in the game hands down x)

[@ISetYourFaceOnFire]

Faizan Malik ship gameplay i felt was mundane and repetitive and took away from actual planets reaching their full potential. Levels not including krells canyon were too linear. Weapons and their designs i found to be dull and uninspired. Ratchets armor and the upgrades visual designs are disappointing and lacking to say the least. Enemies lacked a lot of variety and were bland compared to previous titles, again a problem of the game being to short and unfinished. Ratchets animations look and feel to floaty non-reactive especially the way he holds weapons and shoots them. Its as if they forgot when the series made ratchet hold and shoot big weapons that the animations should reflect that like in the first 3 games. Tools i will admit is guilty of this somewhat but does a superior job than acit. the humour from the previous games whilst still there is severely poor and lacking. The game is also way too short and feels rushed in aspects. Story though was phenomenal the best in the series. Clank puzzles excelent. But for me its not enough to compete with tools which had it all. Non linear levels. Enemy variety. Arguably the best weapons in the series (disruptor, razor claws etc) more subtle and detailed and reactionary animations are present with ratchet and clank actually reacting to the groovitron unlike in acit. Ship gameplay whilst being on rails doesnt overstay its welcome meaning more time was spent on worlds than space combat. Story, characters, humour. All great. Whilst the story doesnt reach the peak that acit does i feel tools is a more overall better ratchet and clank game because its more akin to the first three s which is a good thing. I personally think going commando is the best r and c game but i respect your opinion sir 😊 acit cut A LOT of content due to time restrictions which is a shame. Still a great ratchet game though not denying that!

for a split second after you take down alister and ratchet goes for the time lever it looks like he was about to cry but quickly composed himself.

He's a veteran trapped in the past and his whole goal was to bring the Lombaxes back but, he didn't realize the repercussions of his actions as he was looking around in confusion as the tower started to explode. his last act was very brave as he sacrificed himself to allow ratchet who is younger by many years to survive and continue to find the remains of their race.

Playthrough completed! Thanks for watching:)

Of all the Ratchet and Clank: Future games, A Crack in Time will forever be my favourite and the best (in my opinion). My only “gripe” with it is the redemption before death trope which I’m not too fond of, however General Azimuth being the final boss nonetheless puts icing on the cake. This game came out so long ago yet many years later in 2020 it still hurts my heart. *Edit* : also, are we just not gonna acknowledge the fact that 1) this is the first time Ratchet called Alister by his first name and not “General” or “General Azimuth” and 2) Ratchet and Alister aren’t the only Lombaxes? I mean did everyone forget about Angela Cross?

[@rayanomar4832]

can u plz help me on a glitch i have trouble with

[@TheMetastasia]

But i Think he was reasonable. Azimuth isn´t the ind of Villian that just want to conquer the universe or get rich. He wanted to save his people and went a dark route sacrificing the safety of the universe for his goal. He was incredible lonely and angered when Ratchet didn´t support him in his plan to use the clock. During the boss fight he even mentions to kill ratchet just to save him later.

[@Justacheese]

This was such a great moment for me when I first beat the game. When Alister started powering up his wrench I wondered if he was going to do it. Then he shot ratchet and tried to force his way into the great clock. I was thinking about how tragic this was and I was also super happy insomniac games had the balls to go through with something like that. And then the final fight happened. I used my max rank grovitron and forced alister to dance as I shot him over and over point blank with the RYNO 5. So in the end my version of ratchet and alister were both as cold and brutal as each other. It was pretty tragic when you really think about it.

[@AbysmalGaming]

I like how some bosses when you near them aren’t dead, they are only a bit inured, showing how tough they really are, like azimuth, and Neferious in the 3rd game. Even Drek ( he kills him self when trying to avoid being crushed) and the giant Protopet is only knocked out. Qwark doesn’t even die, both times you fight him. Courtney gears is severely wounded. The thugs boss survives the first encounter with ratchet but dies the second time.

[@canontheory]

Weird fact: There isn't a single body of water to swim in the entire game, in fact I don't even think the swimming animation is coded into the game haha

[@BRockin25]

True, but the water effects in Glimlick Valley (after restoration) look great and it leads to a holoplan i think

[@lastlombaxx]

In the insonmiac museum, it is stated that there were plans for swimming but time issues made it impossible to code.

[@hwelse]

​@@lastlombaxxIronic, for a game all about time.

[@maylinscott4821]

General Alister most definitely should've lived in exile longer

[@markarias8735]

but then the Whole universe would have ended

[@baileebubl0l]

I always cry over this when I replay the game..

[@brissadlr9939]

The groove-a-tron is the best weapon

[@2212blackstar]

Brissa DLR easily the best right there with mr.zurcon (zurkon) little robot drone assist in my opinion

[@katarn0329]

This was the most heart warming ending.

[@afrasiyabkhan3259]

now imagine if somehow ratchet recovered alisters weapon and it was an interchangeable melee weapon in rift apart

[@user-pi1lb4tf2f]

There are signs that Azimuth might be unhinged since his intro. But we're suspended in our own disbelief that Ratchet finally met someone who knows his family. Clank has the Zonis. And Ratchet is just excited that he and his buddy is finding their "place" in the universe until this happens. The boss fight was awesome, Allister is strong and a Lombax fight is awesome. But the twist and with clank saving the timeline is just great.

Alister: The lombaxes must be saved! They need us!! Also Alister: **murders the only other Lombax because he ignored him**

[@FeraMind]

After so many years after playing this game I literally just realized that zoni sounds a lot like Sony It is either a coincidence or a very well placed gag Damn I love insomniac

[@Mrsir-yk9qy]

3:23 i got scared right there when i was 11 years old

[@darkdragoness98]

I know I've made a few comments on this video however alister saying kaden would be ashamed of ratchet being a coward and a traitor as well as ratchet being alone for the rest of his life is a low blow. im pretty sure kaden would of stopped alister too if he were alive but what he did to save his kit during the attack was noble in its own right

[@Garmagic2yFhenrakh9]

The moment you think the game's cleared... God, I LOVED this part!

[@darshio8307]

I just remember when I was like 9, I completed this game without any Guide. This game was amazing.

[@Minecraftbee0]

Alister sacrificing himself to save ratchet and clank is the most heartbreaking moment

[@turtlemyurtle9089]

why was this game better then the 2016 PS4 Ratchet and Clank

[@baumloserwald]

Because PS4 had only 10 Months of Dev time and made it very child friendly

[@turtlemyurtle9089]

@@baumloserwald uhm, ok

[@Wolfstarzan]

Because it had to fit in with the movie.

[@TotskuyaKurogane]

The first time rachet dies, and the irony is not only was his death caused by another lombax, that lombax is the best friend of his father.

[@JabamiLain]

The shock I experienced during my first time watching this scene. I don't think it ever went 100% away. I mean, what the heck !? Like, if he really had to do this, he could have aimed at hid feet, at the floor close to him... why directly at his chest ?

[@tyrannosaurus62]

“The trick is , Learning how to take a joke” hehe best Quote I’ve herd of in a very long time .

[@literatelynx1177]

The beauty of it is that it is in direct contrast with Azimuth's statement earlier in the game. "Sometimes the universe has a cruel sense of humour..."

[@badwolfwhovian63]

Alistair was my fave. When he died I basically sobbed. RIP

[@infiniteaffection1936]

If orvus didn't want the clock to be used as a time machine, why did he put a big lever in the middle of the chamber saying "pull me to time travel'

[@FlyingV555]

I guess to be silly?

[@PrincessTwilightdash]

The thing is he did technically have the gift of time travel but the fungoid abused it

[@user-pi1lb4tf2f]

He allowed time travel for sometime until it was abused by the fongoid. The greatclock then serves as stabilizer for all those time travels. But it's not as if Time Travel is not allowed as long as you are a Zoni or Clank since they are immune to Temporal effects.

Jesus this really tested your morality - save the Lombaxes or preserve the timeline.
