Choco1980 posted:I don't remember, are we already at a point where you guys have gotten enough stars to start unlocking player skins? I seem to remember there's a bunch of them. Plus I want to say there are a couple that are free from the getgo and one that's only available in co-op mode. We start exploring the cheats and skins in the next recording session. There's one more video left in this session, so we'll be talking more about that soon.

Chimera-gui posted:What I want to know is who the hell thought that Deadlocked was a good idea? Like not only did the Jak series go the dark & edgy route already but that was actually done right in my opinion. There was no reason for Ratchet to have made this game, even as an experiment and I'm glad they drop it in favor of the Future series. At least Ratchet & Clank didn't diverge into combat racing.

Nidoking posted:At least Ratchet & Clank didn't diverge into combat racing. At least with that, Naughty Dog had not only done a racing game before with CTR but there was a great deal of vehicle usage in Jak 2 & 3 so it wasn't as much of a stretch plus unlike Deadlocked it kept the tone that had already been set by that point as I had already mentioned. It may not have been a great game overall but it was arguably far better than Lost Frontier in that it can be consider an actual Jak game.

Choco1980 posted:Also I was never able to beat the Exterminator difficulty version of the final boss for some reason which infuriated me. ??? Exterminator final boss is only hard if you're not using the Harbinger, and since you need to beat the game once to unlock exterminator difficulty, you should have the omega(?) version. However, it's a really fun fight in co-op if you both agree not to just use the harbinger and wipe the floor with him. I'm just happy that you didn't have to beat it with a vehicle, god drat the final boss in Jak 3 was a pain.

I remember really enjoying Deadlocked on the highest difficulty, Exterminator, which you unlock after beating the game once. Suddenly it becomes a fast and challenging third-person shooter, up until you break it in half with one of the many overpowered weapons.

Suddenly it becomes a fast and challenging third-person shooter, up until you break it in half with one of the many overpowered weapons. We're actually playing on the second highest difficulty here, and because there are no overpowered weapons (yet), it's still fairly challenging. However, there are times where it's unfairly challenging, especially when aiming for 100% completion, since some of the challenges were clearly never meant to be completed on the hardest difficulty (looking at you anything that doesn't want health to be lost).

This port seems to have some awful audio issues. Lots of loud whining ambient noises, drowning out any semblance of background music. At least I don't remember the original game being like that.

Specifically what's going is that a sound effect will get stuck endlessly looping over itself creating an awful constant buzz. Due to our recording set up we couldn't notice this until we when back for the challenge mode run. Not like we could do much about it anyway

Back in the day my friend would always pick the player 2-exclusive Jak skin, because he loved Jak & Daxter 3. For some reason they actually made a red player 1 Jak skin, but there's no way to equip it in co-op, so you can only look at it wishfully.

The smear campaign is even more idiotic when you consider that, by this point in the franchise, the duo have saved the galaxy no less than three times. This campaign should blow up in their face royally cause no one with a functioning brain should fall for this bullshit.

Tenebrais posted:It's kind of a running joke in the series that no one ever recognises Ratchet's accomplishments. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the original series, Ratchet spends most of his time being whisked away to different galaxies between games, right? At least, I seem to remember something like that between the 1st and 2nd game. That's why it's a different vendor in each game. (Gadgetron, GrummelNet, etc...)

The second game takes place in a different galaxy, yes. The rest of the PS2 era is all in Solana. In R&C3 he's only known as Clank's chauffeur in a TV show.

If I remember right the story for Orxon was you were there to blow up the refinery, and then the last mission is rescuing the audience before they blow up. It's like the one map's plot that I actually recall from playing this game ~10 years ago.

I wish Ratchet and Clank was less classy. Their humour is too high-brow for dumb old me  Like, that's always been their schtick, but Deadlocked lays it on a little thick with the skin descriptions and stuff.

Thread Game: Please describe your most memorable Ratchet & Clank experience. It can be good, or bad, but I want to know what everyone thinks. My most memorable experience with Ratchet & Clank was being a kid, and when I was younger my family never had much money, so I usually got one game and was happy. So one Christmas I get the parcel that is very clearly a game, and I open it to find Ratchet & Clank: ToD. I didn't have a PS3 at the time (this was launch year), so I'm thankful, but I explain to my mom that it's for PS3. She apologizes, plays it off like it's no big deal. Everyone else opens their presents, and the night goes on. Eventually it comes back around to me and there's a big box. I open it and it's a PS3, which was hugely unexpected. Suffice to say I spent the next long while playing Tools of Destruction that Christmas night. It blew me away.

My most memorable experience was discovering how badly the Crack in Time arena is programmed. If you use the sixaxis electro weapon in the longest arena challenge (the one with the most rounds), and then go in and use it again, you have a chance of crashing your PS3 and causing a need for a factory reset. First, you use it to sweep up the respawning ammo crates. Then you finish the challenge. If you go back in and try it again without leaving the arena ship, you cause a conflict between two lines of code. The weapon's "do not respawn crates picked up by this weapon until the player leaves completely", and the arena's "respawn the ammo crates every now and then." Both lines of code will butt heads, attempting to resolve (but being unable to, since they're exclusive to each other), and after about 5-6 rounds of trying to play the arena like normal, eventually the system will just go NOPE, can't do this no more, lock up, and force a factory reset. That wasn't the only time an Arena area gave me some trouble, either... :P

My big one was the Wrench Expert Challenge in Going Commando. It's the final arena challenge that I think you need to be in Challenge mode to unlock? You had to go through 15 rounds of arena, including both bosses, using only the wrench, without taking a hit. Being 13 at the time, attempting to complete it sounded like a great idea, and after spending several days on the attempt I did it. I was so proud of getting the full 100% on the game.

Al getting shot is all they could come up with for showing Ace is evil? It seems silly to make that Ratchet’s motivation for going after Vox and Ace with all that’s happened but then the story has been pretty sparse.
