It's kind of ironic how the games made by a company whose goal was to avoid crunch ended up feeling more rushed than the games made by Insomniac.

[@mastergee7075]

No crunching means people work on the games for less hours so it kinda makes sense, also I would suppose the studio was much smaller than insomniac But also usually I try to understand devs but I think in this case there really was some clear incompetence, like how do you release a game that's 70% boring ass minigame sections knowing damn well those are the least liked sections in most R&C games? That's just plain reta**ed, not much else to add

[@KaminoKatie]

Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy

[@LittleDovahkin]

As a child i loved Size matters. Played through it like 20 times 😅

[@ryanharris9210]

I'm glad I am not the only one. I used to only get like 1 game a year, so replaying it infinitely on new game plus was always a blast. I'd track wraps on a paper. Most I got was Deadlocked at 60 complete runs

[@kingvontai8063]

Same, it’s bad that I wish they was able to port it to the ps3 which would be on the the ps5 rn😂

[@mastergee7075]

​@@ryanharris9210when I started playing for a few years the only game we had that I was able to play (or enjoyed playing) was Medievil so I played through that game at least 100 times, I can bet my balls on it. It got to the point where I would run through the whole game in a single 3-4 hour sitting lmso

[@Thenesrookie]

I'm completely biased, but Secret Agent Clank will always have a spot in my heart. I was 13 when it released, and I would literally have dreams about playing it. I got a PSP and a copy for my 13th birthday, and it was one of the happiest moments of my childhood. To this day, I still really enjoy the novelty of James Bond like weapons and gadgets.

[@Zaperwolf]

Same here. Secret Agent Clank will always be a fun guilty pleasure game of mine to play 😊

[@KingChaise]

I love the game as well, I find it very novel compared to the other games

[@azagwen]

Same! I was 6 when it came out, and I first played it around 8-9 years old when I got my first PSP (I am now 22), and I really enjoyed SAC, despite its numerous lengthy segments, the gameplay was just diverse enough to keep a child interested and curious about what was next. And the Clank segments felt like challenges to take down as many enemies as possible in "stealth" mode, getting better at solving the short QTEs every time I tried

[@goodrichgames1308]

Thanks, but SAC and JDLF were not easy dev cycles for us, glad to see some people liked it.

[@WojtekGoose]

@@azagwen I think SAC was my first Ratchet game and also my first PSP game. I had so much troubles with the final boss fight but I loved the game. I don't know if it'll suck if I replay it now or not but it was just perfect for me. After that, my next R&C game was probably All 4 One and I loved it too so maybe I just have terrible taste (I don't care though)

[@tragicallyfunny]

I absolutely love how much you consider the artist and not just the art. People forget that just cus its a team that put a game together that it wasn't still a personal journey for each of those members. I absolutely cannot wait for anything you have to say, no pressure, just keep pursuing your interests! I'll keep watching and commenting.

[@Yozzoy]

Oh, I have been waiting for this one. I played so much Size Matters back in the day, absolutely loved it to bits.

[@gamursnek]

Fun Fact, on the ps2 edition of secret agent clank, your only loading screen is the typical ratchet & clank "flying through space in your ship to your destination" animation. But it goes through 10 extremely slow and painful cycles each time IF your copy is pristine with no issues, instead of this fabled "Captain Quark Thinking" loading screen that I have never even heard of until this video. Which is a bit perplexing when you consider this means that when clank is stranded in space and the gameplay cuts to a quark section, you STILL SEE clank's ship flying through space, even though he's, well, stranded.

[@HoodoHoodlumsRevenge]

Just as I finished binging your Ratchet retrospectives once again, this drops! I can’t wait to hear the history of these games. Keep up the incredible work!!

[@REDRatchet]

It's still funny to me that prior to the PS4 game, Size Matters was the most sold game in the series. I have a weird fondness for size matters (not as much for clank but anyways) it's interesting seeing what exactly led to these games even happening. Nice video as always! :D

[@MysteriousMusician33]

Honestly it was probably because RATCHET AND CLANK PORTABLE AHHHHH That’s why I got it when I was like 11

[@XJLuna]

A lot of those sales probably came from the PSP 3000 bundle

[@affengurke2427]

between Insomniac's PS2 era games ended with Ratchet: Deadlocked (2005) and the PS3 era games which begun with Tools of Destruction (2007) started, for me, The quality of the Franchise and Ratchet and clank being themself how the original trilogy teached us, it felt like a complete swap out. It all kinda ended when the Future games Saga (PS3 titles of the series) started I always felt like Ratchet & Clank Size Matters was the real 5th game because Ratchet and clank was way more like they used to be in the Original games, also their home was always at the Solana-Galaxy throughout anyway so It immediately connects to these games with that Even though the Concept for Secret Agent Clank was something quite different, I felt it was the perfect 6th game of the series, where it then should ended for the sake of the franchise. Afterwards, the PS3 saga games felt so different from what Ratchet & Clank originally was in terms of their behavior, the Crazy, out of touch new lore, the visual of the characters and the overall storytelling. I think another important thing to point out is, that of course the PSP was a weaker System other then the PS2, so of course the "PSP games" looked like trash graphically other then that, they made everything right with these two games and the Series should ended there. Sorry, but all this crazy lore about the "last of his race guy" meeting "the time keeper robot" by complete coincidence wasn't really doing it for me!

[@skibot9974]

The two most hated games in the series is the series best sellers, I can’t say I’ve seen that anywhere else (unless you count Skylanders as a part of the Spyro franchise)

[@zaneseibert]

​@@skibot9974Iirc DMC 2 and dMc were the 2 best selling Devil May Cries at least until 5 came out.

[@hunter5xx550]

I absolutely adored size matters, I grew up with the game and still can vividly picture some of the level layouts. I loved the armor system and the weapons looked amazing, to be fair I was rough with disks so I broke my rac 2 and 3 so I had to play this one. But for some reason I extremely love this game.

[@AURAxSTAR]

i have never been more excited to spend 1 hour, 36 minutes and 13 seconds watching a ratchet and clank video :)

[@KingChaise]

I don’t care what anyone says. I love these games. Having a portable Ratchet and Clank and a Clank spinoff was a dream come true for a 10 year old. During the summers when I’d have to stay at my grandmas, I’d always bring these classics.

Nice to wake up to a new ratchet and clank vid .

[@Dirvinator]

FOGAAAA

[@Metranomix]

This might be my nostalgia talking, but I remember loving this and didn't think it was that bad at all. Even the racing mini-game. I loved the armour system and how you could create special sets that had unique abilities when you mixed and matched pieces. I even got all the skill points and unlocked the dev room which was super cool.

[@sapiensat]

I just finish the game on PS5 and I can confirm that the game is fine and the races are a lot of fun. Just fanboy rachet overhate discourse

[@LooneyTuneLegendYT]

Ratchet and Clank is back, Baby. This is amazing. If you do decide to tackle the movie or that one 30 minute animated short made to promote Rift Apart, That would awesome to cap off the video series until the next game.

[@TheGoldenBolt]

That short was actually made shortly after the movie, it just happened to get released in a streaming service in Canada (seemingly on accident)!

[@LooneyTuneLegendYT]

@@TheGoldenBolt oh. I thought it was made for Rift Apart since I only heard about it and heard people talk about it around the release of the game. Even then, It would still be cool to see to do a review of both in a single video.

[@bb010g]

I really appreciate your research into High Impact Games! Thank you for your work documenting all this.

[@0MidnighttheDragon0]

Hey, I know this may seem random but...I thought it may be something that would make you smile after such a rough game: Your videos actually inspired me to try out the R&C series for the first time myself. When I first got a PS5 I got Rift Apart with it, deciding to try that as my first game. I was nervous that ONLY having seen your videos and not having PLAYED the last few games would make it hard to be a starting point, but a mix of the game's writing, and your own videos, was plenty for me to still love it. It blew me away so heavily in so many ways and I am now eagerly looking forward to future releases

[@Khlaylav]

Fun fact: using the Mootator on the cow enemies actually gives you the Skill Point. So in this one instance the weapon placement is actually pretty thoughtful.

[@theAG24show]

Bro, I’ve been excited for this since I binged your R&C retrospective last year. Hell, it’s the series that made me pick up Rift Apart when I bought my PS5 back in August

[@Splendoid]

congratulations on finishing the ratchet and clank series and thank you for your content :)

[@RedUmbreon40]

This was a wonderful series! I didn't actually start when the first one came out, but I made sure to watch the entire series. It was amazing! The fact that you have so much behind the scenes content along with talking about the games themselves made for the perfect informational series/documentary, not to mention you had enough humor to actually keep me invested in the first place. I loved it, and when (more like if) the next Ratchet and Clank game comes out, I will make sure to come to this channel to see when you eventually make a video on it. If there is one thing I would like from you though, it's to do the Sly Cooper series the same way you did the Ratchet and Clank series. Sly 3 was the very first video game I ever remember playing and I loved it SO much. But as I was saying, enjoyed your series and am looking forward to future videos!

[@TheGoldenBolt]

I appreciate the kind words, friend! I do have good news, I did do the Sly series a couple years back, which I combined into one big vid in 2022. It's not as in depth as the R&C stuff since they were in an older style I did, but I did add a bunch of development texture in between each game!

[@starfy_9925]

These games were so cursed, appreciate you suffering through them to document them. I still remember as a kid where my stubbornness led me to managing to eventually (very eventually) beat Klunk on NG+, and once I finished the credits sequence I accidentally warped back. SAC was pure suffering. Also remember more recently playing Size Matters a few years ago for a stream during a Ratchet marathon and trying to 100% that game on emu. Tried to make it through Inside Clank to do the wrench only skill point, only to actually do it and... not get it long into the playthrough in one stream. Never again lmao. I will say the one thing I'll say about the armor system is that I got around Otto's absolute garbage fight using the firebomb set (the Mega bomb set with wildfire gloves) to deal damage to his shield to save ammo, and it did decent enough damage? Still a miserable experience though.

[@RatTailSoup4]

i got a psp a few years ago just to play these games even today im like a child, big clank makes me excited

[@lexij2159]

the bee mine glove is fucking wild because it seems like it'd be intended as a "set and forget" weapon but it lasts so short at level 1 that by the time you've switched to another weapon you'll just have to switch back to deploy a new hive anyways

You know, I think your videos are really valuable. This is gaming history you are documenting. Very important especially in this age where everything we make is digital and very fragile.

[@ales141]

The Trash skin is actually a Japanese exclusive in SM, that's why you had 4 extra titanium bolts they just forgot to inflate the prices

[@TheGoldenBolt]

I should clarify that there have been Japanese-only skins in other games as well, and those games featured alternate skins in other regions - that's what I'm referring to!

[@Wolfdawg504]

I never knew fans didn't like Size Matters until fairly recently. I always thought it was a really good game. I always loved it.

[@garfieif8187]

It seems like a forced meme, honestly. Size Matters was mindblowing on release, and Secret Agent Clank was a fun little spinoff. I noticed a lot of Nostalgia Critic-esque "angry reviewers" have been tearing into these handheld games for not being up to par with the ps3 titles, and people are taking those reviews completely at face value. Maybe it's newer fans who only played the series after it started taking itself way too seriously. They're flawed, sure, but none of the flaws are pervasive enough to destroy the games on fundamental levels. Secret Agent Clank probably has it worst with overly long gadgebot sections, but that's not what people complain about there. They only complain about the absurdity of Clank playing a secret agent character. I guess they don't realize that Secret Agent Clank was actually a thing from UYA? With Size Matters most of the complaints are about the ps2 port not looking as good as the other ps2 games, which is... yeah, an astute observation. The 2007 handheld game does, in fact, look inferior to the console games.

[@NAFEDUDE]

​@@garfieif8187this is interesting because absolutely none of these complaints are what are brought up in the video.

Despite what the marketing says, I think insomniac's sassy tweet is still correct. I mean, clank says word for word in 3 "Secret Agent Clank is merely a fictional character I play on the holovid." Personally, my favourite theory is it being an in-universe reboot of that fictional series, which bombed so badly we never hear about clank's movie career again.

[@FrameRater]

I do understand Size Matters has many flaws but it seems like most try their best to hate it instead of just having fun like the devs surely intended. I do appreciate how deeply you thought about its issues though, and the implications they have on other elements of the game/series. You've done that much better here than other videos I've seen regarding this subject. Size Matters needed a lot of polish and fine tuning, no disputes about that. However, and especially regarding the "no really this game is bad go play it again" comment... I can't agree. I'm still able to enjoy a playthrough. The vivid settings, great music and creative designs do a lot to sell the experience for me. Yes I could piece apart everything and point at what's bad, but I'd prefer to just... enjoy the game and not take it this seriously. Great video all the same, I learned a lot!

I've tried a demo of another game on the PS3 but I have played Size Matters on and off since I was 7 and I got the PSP Slim as a gift. so many stories, so many different games, I never would have imagined that anyone could possibly tell me "Size Sucks".

[@alex_-yz9to]

The one funny detail about this game that always stuck out to me thats exclusive to a non english version is the fact that in the qwark opera house they had the italian voice of DOCTOR NEFARIOUS dub over the singing part of Qwark because i guess the voice actor didn't feel like he had the chops to make it work... and to contextualize this, the thugs4less leader was voiced by that same voice actor in italy but here he's instead voiced by somebody else doing an impression of the english voice actor... and no he didn't do other voices he was just there for that one opera bit then dipped

[@PatoGuzmanAd]

For nostalgic reasons, I love so much this game, so many memories, love it's chill vibe, perfect for PSP. Also loved the online features, there was a bug back then if you play with 2 people a deathmatch and press some button (circle I guess) at the last second you can change your team, so with my best friend we put deathmatches free for all and at the last second we changed it 2 vs 1 it was hilarious.

[@overMatt]

Interesting thing about the terrible difficulty balance in Size Matters: while playing it to achieve 100% years ago, when I was just a kid, I noticed that after many and many failure in defeating Otto in the very last NG+ showdown you suddenly begin to deal off-scale damage and easily win the bossfight. And this "thing" happened in every following NG+ run. At the time I tought it was a sort of a glitch but, after many years, I'm seriously considering it happened due (at least on PSP, never played it on PS2) to a sort of auto-balancing feature, similar to the one Insomniac implemented in the OG series (with increased damage and bonus health/ammo crates) but never finished and kinda broken.

Going to to start gaslighting my friends that "Time to Swallow" was a real R&C name at one point.

Crazy coincidence that some members of High Impact Games went onto work for Heart Machine. Hyper Light Drifter is one of my favorite games outside of the Ratchet and Clank series and this was the last place I was expecting to find a connection.
