Ratchet and Clank: No such thing as excessive firepower

^^ Quack-O-Ray/Quack-O-Blitzer.

And yeah, that's a favorite of mine, along with the (Black) Sheepinator, (Heavy) Bouncer, Miniturret/Megaturret Glove (I also love setting traps), Suck/Vortex Cannon, Rift Inducer/Ripper (AIM AWAY FROM FACE!)....

Oh wow, I just picked up R&C a few weeks ago and Going Commando last week. Started with Deadlocked a couple years ago though.

Recently bought the first game. The Kalebo III race to get the hologram thing caused my controller to be mysteriously destroyed through no fault of my own because someone who wasn't me repeatedly smashed it against the ground. After getting a new controller and trying again(and failing again and again) I got pissed and destroyed the game itself.

Screw Ratchet, screw Clank and screw all their games.

^ olawd, that race. That was the worst race.

But that's the lowest point of the game, I feel. I haven't played the first game in yeeeeeeeeeeeeeears (nor have I ever played the second), but there's a very good reason why I still eagerly await the next release:

Take. That. Back.

The first game is pretty dissimilar to the others in a lot of ways. I'd recommend at least giving Up Your Arsenal a try before you give up on the series entirely.

I've played the first two games. They were alright. =d

The different Disc weapons were always good. Just cool to start with, having the curving path, but awesome later when they split and bounce and attack multiple times... And the shotguns. And the Machine guns. And the rocket launchers. And the Ryno V

The first game is pretty dissimilar to the others in a lot of ways. I'd recommend at least giving Up Your Arsenal a try before you give up on the series entirely.

Maybe I will. :hmm

The gun that opens a portal to Cthulhu's den.

I always did favour the Morph weapons myself. It's a shame they haven't had any for a while though, the Sheepinator was fun in multiplayer in the third game.

The Demonic Duck of Flying Doom was awesome.

I was always a sucker for the beam deflecting Refractor gadget from the third game, because I could stand in front of the laser-shooting Mini-Mecha all day and it would slaughter itself with its own beams.

As for actual weapons, I'll have to take the Visibomb Gun, hands down.

My personal favourite is the Rift Inducer. Not the Crack in Time version, the one which allows you to open up black holes, then combine the black holes into a massive singularity that sucks in everything witout mercy while zapping the enemies into oblivion and oh dear I appear to be drooling.

All things considered, I think Ratchet and Clank 3 was my favourite game. I remember on one of my birthdays, I had a bunch of my friends over and we were up until 12 (which was very late in those days, compared to my average sleeping time of 1AM now (on a good night)) just playing the multiplayer. I've been pretty annoyed that the more recent games haven't had any form of multiplayer, especially since online gaming would make it much easier than in the old days.

Rift Ripper. There is no better way to tell Mooks "I want you to go away now".

I was wrong about the R&C series. Good stuff. The first game can suck my balls but I finished Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal and loved 'em both(I heart RYNO II and RY 3 NO), and now I've just started on Tools of Destruction.

Yeah whenever anyone asks me about the Ratchet and Clank games I always recommend to skip the first one. I never had any problems starting with Going Commando, which I think is where the series really kicks off anyway.

As for favourite weapon, I liked the Infector a lot. The one which shot green balls of slime which turned enemies to your side. I think that was in Up Your Arsenal

I just got the PS 3 games, having played the second and third one before. On ACIT right now.

I just realised that all three of the robot pairs in those games (Zephyr and Cronk, Rusty Pete and Slag, Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence) are the most funny elements of video games. Ever. So funny my grammar is no function good now-time.

Also, curse you Pirate Radio. You have just made all three of the other radio channels completely and utterly pointless. And I like the other channels as well...but there's no comparison with the almighty power of cameo.

So Ratchet And Clank A Crack In Time ranks as my all time favorite ratchet and clank game.

I've only played Up Your Arsenal, and a bit of Ratchet and Clank 1, but my favourite gun had to be the automatic fire weapon you get around the fourth stage. I only stopped using it because it was becoming horribly outclassed by other weapons, to the point where I ran out of ammo trying to use it against enemies.

The Quack-O-Ray was good for a laugh (Though required mastery of Ratchets dodging abilities to use properly as one hit means your shot is interrupted) and... well, actually the wrench. Although the weakest weapon and restricted practically to melee range, its fun to discover what you can actually kill with the damn thing. I got so good with it in the first game I had trouble switching back to my guns; it was almost easier to keep using the wrench. (Especially seeing as the guns in the first game didn't get upgrades, meaning the early guns really were comparable in power to the wrench in the wrong circumstances.)

• Any weapon that turns your enemies into cute fluffy little animals.
• Doom eggs.
• Pulse Rifle/Vaporizer. I love being able to zoom in.
• BOUNCER. BOUNCER BOUNCER BOUNCER BOUNCER
• The boxbreaker attatchment for your wrench. I have made it my sworn duty to destroy everything that is possible to destroy in the games.

Favorite weapons:

• Rift Ripper: OHAI GUYS ILL JUST STAND HERE WHILE YOU KILL YOURSELVES
• Quackinator: Three Words Demonic flying ducks
• Robotic buddy and equivalents: Yoh Dawg I heard you like guns so I got you guns that shoot while you shoot guns
• Turrents: See Robotic Buddy
• Energy Blades: Who needs a wrench?
• Plasma whip: Has a huge range and works wonders clearing out the little ones.

Since I forgot to post mine (although all the weapons have a special spot in my heart)

• Rift Ripper, Tornado/tempest Launcher, Dynamo Gun for all their huge AOE of doomyness
• All the disc throwing weapons (Cover the screen with a storm of metal blades)
• Bouncer and Heavy Bouncer (see above, but with explosions)
• Liquid Nitrogen Gun: A small shiny line of death for everyone in sight.
• "ARE YOU READY TO DIE? BECAUSE MR. ZURKON IS READY TO KILL!"
  • "HA! MR. ZURKON DOES NOT NEED NANOTECH TO SURVIVE. MR. ZURKON LIVES ON FEAR!"
  • "I shall let you live alien...PSYCHE! MR. ZURKON LIVES ONLY TO KILL!"

My favorite weapons?

ALL OF THEM! Even the Pork Bomb Gun.
