Definitely have to agree

Yessirrrr 😎

For sure not a bad games by any stretch, but yes as you said there's just thing about it that don't hold up. Strictly how it is to play though it's incredibly polished and very addicting!

That's true, that's pretty cool you can do that with the razor claws too lol

@@MrJarheadTV Speedrun in ToD push the shock ravager and razor claws to insane levels. NG+ speedruns starts with shock ravager + wall bounce jank to go straight to the end of the kerwan level in under a minute.

I don't mind as long as there's an option to use gyro or not, most of the time it just doesn't work great IMO

Oh yeah aesthetically and control-wise it definitely holds up incredibly well. That's interesting to know about Rift Apart too, I really haven't paid much attention to it so that when I do eventually play it I can go into it as fresh as possible, but that's great to hear.

That's awesome to hear you binged the videos like that thanks to the algorithm, I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoy the videos! For me with Tools it's not even so much that it felt like a drag cause the gameplay's good enough on it's own, I just was so apathetic towards the story and found myself kinda tuning it out. Meanwhile now that I've finished replaying A Crack In Time, I felt myself hanging on almost every word. So many great scenes that overall felt like the Pixar presentation they were going for was finally fleshed out and achieved.

Thank you so much 😁 And Happy New Year!

Could be a possibility someday, got tons of other series I have in mind first though

That's pretty interesting, I can see why you'd think that though. Something about Tools' graphics makes the game feel a little blurry. I actually had to sharpen the video a good bit to make it look better. As for Crack In Time I think it looks better but not a ton better. The pre-rendered cutscenes though look WAYYYY better, like legit movie level stuff. Tools' just weren't quite up to that level yet IMO.

Thank you sir, and nah it's from Skyrim lol. But it's a reference to a joke I made in a video like 3 years ago

Yeah that's strange too, and even beyond Tachyon's accomplishments it's hard to believe he ever achieved anything when nearly every time he's on screen he's a completely incompetent bozo. That's a good way of interpreting the story as well!

@@MrJarheadTV yeah, it's simultaneously baffling and no wonder this bug is second banana to the robot pirates. it's to a point where the lore tries to justify this by saying that tachyon built the robot pirates to scavenge lombax technology (iirc it's the IRIS computer that says this), and then just abandoned them to their own devices when they served their purpose. mind you, this stuff takes place before tachyon overthrew the lombaxes. and HOO BOY DO I GOT SOME THOUGHTS REGARDING ALISTER

What's your thoughts on Alister?

​@@MrJarheadTV oh man you've unleashed a storm. alister is a fantastic antagonist and a great foil for ratchet marred by the lore TOD had set up. he is the reason tachyon fucked over the lombaxes to begin with: tachyon showed his own blueprints at a lombax meeting (discussing how the polaris galaxy "became a dangerous place with the absence of the cragmites"), and since his stuff was so much more advanced, he promised to exchange them with the lombaxes if they gave tach access to their technology. alister mentions that the lombaxes distrusted him (likely because of the whole cragmite thing) and he's undoubtedly aware of the history between the lombax/cragmite conflict, yet still gives tachyon access to lombax tech because "he felt it was for the good of the galaxy", nevermind the fact that not only have the cragmites been established as irredeemably evil, but RATCHET'S OWN DAD AND SUPPOSEDLY ALISTER'S BEST FRIEND told him to not go through with it. i'm honestly of the mind that alister may be withholding information from ratchet, even with his grief over the effects of his choice, and his desire to make things right. was alister good friends with tachyon's adoptive family (who might've had the family name of tachyon, now that i think about it), and was that what influenced his decision? was tachyon just really persuasive despite almost every other lombax distrusting him? we never know because we know so little about tachyon's past beyond "he was raised by lombaxes and somehow found out about the cragmites". either alister is really gullible or really inept, which might be the case considering the lombaxes never expanded off their home planet/galaxy. i know i'm being a broken record, but scifi is smarter than this, and as good as ACIT's storytelling is and as much as alister is a fascinating character, a lot of the future saga's lore (mostly involving the lombaxes) just falls apart when you think about it for more than five minutes. and it's kinda disappointing, because i genuinely do think there's a lot of potential with some of the lore they introduced in future; some fanon works do some great exploration of stuff like the lombaxes and the events surrounding them and their disappearance. but as far as the future saga stands as it is, it's easier for me to conceptualize it as an in-universe movie franchise in the R&C setting. i mean, apparently IG's gone on record to say the events of secret agent clank are in-universe fiction as an episode of clank's show, so why not? sorry for the ramble, i'm just really passionate about funny space rat with gun!

@@kokorogensou That's a totally fair point and I can definitely see what you're coming from. And honestly I do agree with you because yeah he does just kinda sound like a dumbass for how he handled things lol, but in a way that makes me sympathize with him that much more because Azimuth knows he screwed up *so badly*, so it makes it believable that he goes to the lengths that he does to reverse his mistake.

Thank you 😁 It will just be A Crack In Time, and honestly that'll be my last Ratchet and Clank video for a good while. I'm ready to move onto new franchises next year

Thank you! And all good my guy you can always catch the next one 😎

A Crack In Time is absolutely worth checking out. You gotta play this to really understand it and Tools is still good but yeah, Crack In Time is where it's at for sure.

Oh hi jar!

Very true

This is the most I feel Ratchet and Clank was like a real adventure since Going Commando but like you said the story backing it is pretty weak. Playing Crack In Time again it's pretty crazy how much more I care about that story, whereas with Tools I was so apathetic towards it

@@MrJarheadTV yeah dude like the game play feels like it’s the original 2 games but on steroids, I really like the guns this time around the mag net launcher came in clutch at times and I turned out using mr zurkon than I’d like to admit. My favorite parts were also zargaso

😏

@@MrJarheadTV Hope all is well with you sir, and the man of dott 😉

Thank you Douglas same to you, he's getting his second tattoo tomorrow so I'll be hanging with him while he gets that done

@@MrJarheadTV Yea he mentioned his second one when he streamed last, sounds good. And yea I'm doin alright. I'm MageWolf on twitch but I think you knew that already

Oh yeah Tom talks crap about you all the time
