I finally got around to beating Ratchet and Clank. Fantastic game.

I tried starting up the first Jak and Daxter but the disc I bought at a garage sale is too scratched up. Wasted a dollar.

So I'm starting the Second Ratchet and Clank. First thing I noticed: did they change the voice actor for Ratchet? Also I can actually STRAFFE in this one, so it feels more like a proper shooter. In fact it's balance of platform vs shooter has largely switched.

There all good other then "All 4 One" and I haven't checked the new one that just came out but avoid All 4 One at all cost.

OK, Ratchet and Clank 2 is seriously 10x better than the original and the original was already very very good.

The only part that I think is kind of weak is the space ship combat. Too easy and slow, basically:
1) turbo boost a bit
2) turn around
3) fire lasers
4) repeat, don't worry about getting hit, maybe dodge asteroids.

The racing and hacking parts are HARD AS FUCK but they are fun and that arena thing early on was awesome. Level design is largely just as good as the original, Boss fights are common and all done very very well.

The weapon upgrade system both encourages you to use all the weapons (to get their power upgrade) and to explore (weapon mods bought with platinum bolts)

The game is just exquisite. It is thus far my favorite 3D platformer now... and its only the second game, its old as hell. WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING

I love Ratchet and Clank even the first had charm and originality the big difference is the pacing and XP system. Warped did you find  a hidden room on the last lv of R&C (the first one) you can trade in those gold bolts for some nice upgrades. also I think all R&C have secret museums other the the first and there worth cheeking out and they had some cool ideas that where never implemented or removed due to the complexity or limitations of the hardware .

It's kind of fun that I Remembered all this useless info last time I played the first game was 2002 and i was 15 man, 10 years go by so fast.


Also you may hate Ratchet: Deadlocked (well I liked it , but not as much as going commando ) also a key note I notice and achieved on this game is the ability to get 99lv on every weapon . You may come at me with a question was it worth it? I'll reply Rainbow beams. i mean at lv99 there is a big difference in power but after lv10  (I think) the power rise by 1 on most weapons. (I grind the shit out of my weapons to achieve this and sadly i get no medal.

Nope, the PS2 games, in this case Going Commando. Not the future series. I wanted to play the originals before moving on to the future series. I got the first 3 games at a garage Sale for 3 dollars.

I actually got "A Crack in Time" for PS3 from the only convention I've ever gone to (me being awful at bartering I'm pretty sure I was ripped off). Though, its currently unplayed.

You should play Ratchet: Deadlocked  too I mean it has nothing to do with the future series unlike the first three ps2 games (Since the first 3 have him questioning his past ) But I think if I remember correctly it significant only lies at the end.(I would tell you in spoiler tags but I don't think they will work.)

Trying to level a Mechromancer in BorderLands 2,  but I keep getting drawn back into trying to skill setups in Dungeons of Dredmor.

WWE'13
I mostly play it for it's excellent customisation suite, rather than playing as any of the actual wrestlers, I just create my own shows, arenas, wrestlers etc. I've been doing it since 1998/9 with WWF Attitude, so the main characters' stories have progressed and such like it's own wrestling tv show, even though I don't really watch it.
Here's the current roster:

Grime Styles, Garcia Gonzales, Donovan, Jessica Watt & Soozie Sunshine are based on common thugs from Streets Of Rage, with Abedebe being based on the wrestler level boss in them. The Newman family are based on the characters from Turok 2/3, but have since developed their own personalities.
The Black Sphinx is an unused Jack Kirby design, which as soon as I saw it, I just had to turn into a wrestler.
Bane is obviously Bane from Batman (and featuring the same moral ambiguity). Kinda the undefeatable monster. His current story is a desire to train the best of the new generation.
Generally there's a set cast of 20-30 who I've made EVERY YEAR for the past 12 or so years, some 'retire' some get added, and the remainders are generally created new for each game, and the ones that work well in the stories I set up will become parts of that main roster.

The past few games have had a 'universe' mode, which basically sets up a continous schedule of shows, though you can edit any of the matches, or events or titles... everything really. And it will develop random storylines, so it's just a continous mode, which allows me to have my custom shows:
Heavy Artillery - Monday night 'raw' style show, focusing on the heavyweight classes, and the main story arcs (Roster is Black Sphinx down to Donovan)
Dragon Night - Wednesday's show, focusing on lightweight and 'unorthadox' style wrestling as well as new comers. Think old 90's ECW (Roster is Miles Sullivan down to Parker Blade)
TKO - Saturday's show which combines the two

I put way too much thought into this.... but yeah, it's fun, so fuck it.
 

it should be called dark souls stories: Revelations - The Undead Reckoning
