You could always just ignore the storyline...

Where would be the fun in that? Where would be the fun in an episode of The Simpsons if there was no story whatsoever?

Nobody liked Double Agent? So, wait, I'm a Nobody? Awesome--but where's my corresponding Heartless?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Let's just wait and see what happens. The Ratchet is missing storyline did lead to Quest for Booty, which I though was rather good, as it focused more on the platforming elements

 

Compared to the rest of the series, Quest for Booty is a letdown.

And story isn't a bad thing. In fact, it's a very good thing. However, in a spontaneous game like Ratchet and Clank, carrying stories over from game to game does not work. Especially when that story involves Clank not being there. Both of the worst critically acclaimed Ratchet and Clank games lacked the robot.

In a game like Resistance or God of War, a permanent story is necessary, to add to the tension. In a relaxing game like Ratchet and Clank, a story shold begin and end within the game, with a few features (like Captain Qwark) returning.

 

a game that is 4 hours long that focuses on gameplay and story is a let down.... what?

Well it got horrible reviews so I admit I haven't actually shelled out 15 bucks for it.

 

 

I got it and loved it. Honestly the critics are idiots. Everyone and I mean everyone complained about the lack of replay value... and it's like no fucking shit the game is four hours and costs 15 bucks but that's how they designed it. I and everyone that has played Q4B would probably recommend the game to you.

I liked it, just not as much as Chaos Theory.

If you haven't played Chaos Theory, do yourself the favour of playing one of the best stealth games of all time.

 

Like I said, all I have to judge Quest for Booty is the reviews. Maybe it's like TFU- people love it, reviewers hate it.

I would get QFB but there are too many good games coming soon and I can't afford all of them...

Well, I'm confident that Insomniac can continue their tradition of excellence for the next R&CF. Hopefully they'll put equal effort into it and Resistance 2.

"Splinter Cell did something similar. It tried to break the formula of the old games which everybody loved and brought us Double Agent. Which nobody liked."

 

And I did partake of the awesomeness that is Chaos Theory on its' launch day, with a coop buddy in tow for the separate campaign

Okay, I exaggerated. I tend to do that a lot.

'Which only the most hardcore of Splinter Cell fans liked'

Better?
