I think this game was the most adult rated and the darkest game of all the ratchet and clank games. So much sex jokes and profanity like a lot than normal lol and I LOVE every second of it!

9:22 R&C Fans: "You think this is funny?" Insomniac: "In a cosmic sort of way, yes." R&C Fans: "Well, Mr. Steve McQwark, is this how you get your sick kicks?!" (Shows them PS3 port of Ratchet: Deadlocked) Insomniac: "What, its just an HD port of Ratchet--OH MY GOODNESS! Idol Minds!"

The image of Dr Nefarious floating on that asteroid is seriously one of the funniest things from my childhood. I lost my shit when they appeared at the end of this game.

"You're not just corrupt, you're stupid!" Ratchet's got a lot of guts to say that to someone who could kill him at the touch of a button. But he does have a good point. Corruption and stupidity often go hand in hand!

The strange thing that I've only come to realize later in life, is that in terms of the original themes and concepts of the earliest R&C games, Deadlocked actually makes way more sense as the third entry in the Trilogy than Up Your Arsenal ever did. The original R&C had a cynical edge to it, and it presented a world where Corporate power and Consumerism has basically run amok (shoutout to the Plumber who can't evacuate Novalis because, no joke, he can't afford an escape ticket and has to "wait for Captain Qwark" to save him, "Socioeconomic Disparity" indeed). Chairman Drek is part mafia boss, part corrupt CEO. The whole reason he needs to build a new homeworld is because _he_ polluted and soiled their old one. He reveals in the climax of the game that his whole evil plan revolves around making obscene amounts of money: _"You see, I've been paid for every square inch of my new world. Once the inhabitants move in, I'll begin polluting this world as well. Then the whole thing starts all over again"_ It's all about money for Drek. He's a greedy Corporate CEO. This is the first stage; fighting the corporation. Now on to Going Commando. Consider just how powerful MegaCorp is. One of the slogans on MegaCorp's Weapon vendor is "MegaCorp: your best choice, your _only_ choice" Qwark, whilst posing as Mr. Fizzwidget, films a commercial for a MegaCorp weapons facility that begins thus: _"MegaCorp keeps you warm, keeps you healthy, and now, keeps you safe"_ MegaCorp really does seem to produce pretty much all goods and provide all services you can find in the Bogon Galaxy, with small companies like Thugs-4-Less providing some very scant few exceptions. Essentially, MegaCorp is one huge, galaxy-wide monopoly, which is honestly a pretty scary thought. Qwark himself exploits MegaCorp's immense reach to engineer the Protopet menace in the first place. Going Commando then becomes the second step in this chain: Being employed by, and doing underhanded work for, the corporation. And then we have Deadlocked, where this chain culminates the only way it could: being _exploited_ by the corporation. Gleeman Vox is a megalomaniacal multimedia mogul (say that three times fast) who quite literally puts people's lives on the line for the sake of profit, and pursues new ways to squeeze money out of his "contestants" with sicophantic zeal. His outburst detailing all the merchandise he would make off of Ratchet's image ( Action Figures, Breath Mints, Sports Shoes, Earmuffs etc.) is a case in point. The cynical perspectives on corporatism and consumerism are taken to their logical extreme here, with literal gladiatorial combat to the death being sold and marketed to _children_ without a second thought. _"That's right kids: Exterminator trading cards are here..."_ _"The little Billies and Susies of the world are spending a trillion bolts a day on worthless swag..."_ Etc. I gotta say: talk about things you never noticed as a kid.

"Ratchet Movie Deals" ...

I remember realizing one if the announcers (Dallas) is Timmy's dad.

I was very surprised to find that Ratchet: Deadlocked, the FOURTH installment in the series probably has the best storytelling of any game in the franchise. The plot was interesting, characters were memorable and it came to a very satisfying conclusion at the end when all the people who were against you started supporting you. I feel like this could of easily been adapted to be the ratchet & clank movie instead of what we got. The fictional robocop-esque ads would of even made more sense in that context.

9:29 Cartoon Network trying to sell Teen Titains Go Merchendices

Deadlocked might have the most consistently funny cutscenes. What a great game

I like that Ratchet's relationship with the Mayor's daughter(now the Mayor) carried over to this game. Just a wholesome touch.

I like how Insomniac and Naughty Dog make us love to hate the villians of their games.

Dallas and Juanita were the highlight of this game, had me in stitches every time they showed up. Shame they didn't bring them back in ACIT, Kip Darling and Pepper Fairbanks were funny, but it's not even a contest, the chemistry between Dallas and Juanita was comedy gold.

Pfft! I love Al's reaction at 1:36 It's like: *"Goddammit, Ratchet. I'm a MASSIVE nerd, and even that delivery of yours was too cheesy for your own good."*

19:33 "Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger..."

4:15 I'm no dentist, but I'm pretty sure teeth don't go like that.

38:45 I never understood this joke when I was a child. Hahaha.

I watch this now and I just realised: this game has a lot more content for older kids than I thought back then. Blargs gone wild, "tail shoved right up my ***", "blow **** up". xD

Its sad that Quark sold more merchandise the Ace.

Shellshock sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger XD

20:12 Hilarious scene. xD I love the biting satire of Fox News. And that ending! The guys at Insomniac have a great sense of humor.

29:30 i always loved the little reactions that the alien pet of the shark boss did.

28:57 Vox getting a hard-on for gratuitous Capitalism is my absolute favourite. Honestly these guys had enough material & V.A talent to make a pretty decent show. I'd seriously throw my moneys at a Ratchet TV show with this kind of writing. Too bad the series became extremely PG after this & the series got slapped with the "pixar of videogames" label by critics everywhere.

Poor little Lombax...he's been through a lot...

This game kind of brought back the themes of greed and corporatism that were in the first two games and missing from all other entries, glad it did

This game truly shows how far ratchet has gone as a hero, from being some angsty teenage guy who focused on his own goals and didn’t care about others, (wanting to defeat quark bc of what he did to him on umbris instead of what clank was saying to focus on drek bc its bigger than him and clank is just one example of this) to literally 35:46 saying its fine that he dies so that the other heros could live, literally ready to sacrifice himself to save others like a true hero would do ❤️ I love this game so much, from its edger story, gameplay and cutscenes to the weapons, to the music it’s truly my favorite ratchet and clank game and nobody is changing that. Thank you insomniac games for this masterpiece of a game

9:22 HOLY SHIT

38:48 you make me feel like a young boy again XD what the ***** . that radio show is very funny , in ratchet and clank games the always pokes fun at the drama shows .

9:22 OH WHAT THE FUCK OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT?!?!

I always loved how this game starts right after Ratchet 3. Makes it feel like Ratchet and Clank 4 or something lol.

32:21 this short cutscene always give me the chills..

Yeah I know, the PS2 Ratchet games were pretty adult, and Deadlocked being the most adult one out of the four, the things that made the older R&C games a little mature was some language, sex comedy, sexual messages and easter eggs and a lot of destruction and war, and I'm glad those are like that, and that it was competing with other hardcore shooter games at the time.

the nostalgia! the ratchet and clank series is literally the core of my childhood, especially planet tyhrannosis,(ratchet and clank up your arsenal) the music, and the landscape brings me to a perfect place.

19:02 He just wanted Courtney Gears!

29:11 "Movie rights." "NO DEAL, VOX!

I remember playing this game with my brother in co-op mode...like man good times.

The Deadlock suit is still my number one favorite. I really want them to bring it back in a future title

2005-2009 was a godly era for gritty & dark animated shows/games.

Gleman vox was actually a really great villain and character, funny, intimidating and had a unique design and he gets a lot of screentime too. Hes great.

38:27 LAAAAAAAWREEEEEEEEEEENCE!!!!!

Ratchet: Deadlocked is still the best filler/side game I can remember. The devs were basically like "What if Ratchet & Clank but more boom boom?"

1:52 "He was involved in some kind of _illegal_ combat sport called Dreadzone." 2:08 It's a _lawless_ region of space on the fringe of the galaxy." Waaaaaait a second Sasha... If it's in a lawless region of space how is it illegal?

Clank: Why would a hero kill other heroes for money? Uh, didn't Captain Quac do the same thing, just really suck at it?

I love how the media trys too trash Ratchet's image making him look out to be the bad guy after each achievement his accomplish.

The fact that Rachet is like the "BABES" *DOES A CURVING MOTION". and this was T rated lol

"Queer eye for the tyrranoids"

Hahaha, Vox is a satirical Fox Network: "Why else would people watch Vox News?"

I remember being a kid and always being excited for the next cut scene. I can see why now this story and writing was awesome.

7:56 I always knew R&C had slightly adult humor but I got a genuine laugh outta never seeing that before. God I miss this era. I guess this edgy style of humor will get companies in trouble so they play it safe nowadays. But then again, that's why the Ratchet movie was horseshit.

This game was Hardcore!!!!!!!! LOVED it! It's my second favorite with up your arsenal being number 1. (Future games are separately)

that glitch on Ratchet's face at 9:24

6:11 my man Big Al was getting into the dance and can’t blame him that song is sooo good

30:27 Loved this part

"CM‘ON, MEIN LITTLE FÜRRY MANN, TIME TO DIE !!!" I love Shellshock xD

When Vox tries to get Ratchet to be a sellout he offers video games and movie rights, I fall off my bed and say "He already has those dummy!" lol

ll the censored swearing scenes kill me every time XD

TBH one of the best PS2 games i've ever played. Albeit it was the FIRST one I ever owned.

Don't judge Big Al for dancing to Courtney Gears. That could be how he relieves stress. And this IS a very stressful situation that they're in. Anyone knows Stress makes it hard to think logically, so keep shaking that big ass of yours, Al. Ratchet needs you even if he doesn't admit it. I recently binged this game with a few disgustingly focused sessions and I had a blast. I consider this more of a spinoff than a main series entry due to the lack of Clank and the robots who help you, but it's a damn fine game!

Ratchet: you're not just corrupt you're stupid. My thoughts exactly.

6:09 Al dancing to Courtney Gears' music video

Man, I miss the writing of the PS2 Ratchet and clank games. It had humor both adults and kids could enjoy while the newer Ratchet games feels like there written for 5 year olds only.

ITS TIME TO BLOW S&@T UP!

Deadlocked game was my all time favorit game of R&C along with Up your Arsenal in the PS2 generation. Gleeman Vox was a great villain along with Dr Nefarious. My favorite cutscene was 6:10 when Al dancing to Courtney Gears and Ratchet meets the hilarious battle bots Merc and Green. :)

I'm still wondering why Ace hardlight was top player i mean eviscerator was more challenging then he was.

I hope that one day we can get a true and amazing remake of this game. Still my favorite one of the series and I wish the game had so much more content because it's still worth playing to this day imo!

9:22 OGAWD

“How many fingers am I holding up?” *holds up two giant fingers impossible to miss*

"My tail feels like it's right up my!" Hmm I thought this was for children...

9:23 wow the graphics got broken maybe

This game had some of the best cameos in all of video games, honestly. Dr. Nefarious at the very end just for fun couldn't have been any stronger of a note to end on.

9:22 Jesus, I know you like showing your face but you don't need to show what's inside it, Ratchet!!

4:15 I love how the bad ps3 port makes the villain look even more even by making him wear his own teeth as a facial hair

10:55 Oh these two and their 'moments,' gotta love it

Every character Michael Bell voices in this series is amazing to listen to. Lawrence, Vox the Biker Quark's Holovid Narrator.

29:12 Ratchet: I already get video games, mate.

WOAH... C-camera? CAMERA? WTF CAMERA!? XD It zoomed in so close, it went into Ratchets face!

>”Uncensored” > Censors Shit.

14 years later and Vox news is still the most entertaining thing I've seen in video games! (Especially thanks to Juanita and Dallas)

Courtney Gears was a traitor to all robots who attacked Ratchet and Clank first.

38:40 You can’t beat this kind of comedy !!! You can’t get jokes like that in the modern era priceless!!!

3:34

The realist ratchet game to date still... this was for the true fan who wanted to really test combat with ratchet... loved that mace.

At 9:25. Rachets's face pixilated, that was terrifying

"Commercials, Commercials, Commercials, Commercials, Commercials, C-hehahahahahaha"

Me and my brother use to play Deadlocked way more than any other ratchet and clank the writing plot and characters were so good and the best part is the awesome setting where your literally a gladiator fighting for your freedom. Man I wish I could go in a time machine and play this with my brother right now.

Lol looking back I'm amazed at all the adult humour. .

Man...this game brings back memories.

This game has a badass atmosphere.

Huh. Neat. They actually went pretty accurate with the 60 second self-destruction sequence.

They really rushed this remaster. Terrible shame. So glitchy. And they never bothered to release patches to fix it

Vox's clipping gums makes him look even more terrifying thanks to the HD port. Not sure how that happened, really.

What a throwback. Great memories

18:38 "Report to B-Level for disintegration!" The way he says it...! LOL

And thus we never see any of these characters ever again for the rest of the franchise for except the green pumpess ass with an ego bigger than the galaxy of Andrómeda. How the hell did Quark took the president's job in the first place?

21:08 This part used to make me laugh so much everytime I repeated it lol

08:10 is thime to blow some S**H up lol

It gave me endless replays which i continued to enjoy every single time!!!

I played this game, Jak X, and Sly 3 on a jampack demo. Time flys by fast

I love this game with all my heart, I had it on my PS2 and I played it to the point it didn't work anymore
