Some people can never be happy. They take what was fun with R&C, make it better and add new weapons and enhance the game, and you complain that they didn't utterly do a back flip and rework the game Mario style? Your not sick of the 600 different games that Mario is in now? Tetris-like, platformers, tennis... what's next? Mario FPS? That's truly innovative!

Honestly I am having a hard time fathoming the logic behind it,but a quick glance over your posting record shows a PS3 bias and all is explained.

You know... I could say the same thing about your post here. I can't understand why someone would critisize a game for sticking to its style, improving upon it and ironing out the kinks.



It seems the mods need help with this forum.  I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.

Hmm, where did he criticize the game for sticking to its style. Oh, right, he didn't

Sqrl said:In any case, I have to say I agree with Shams, the game will be fantastic and as I have said in other threads a very compelling reason to buy a PS3. But I too feel it is missing the spark that makes top 10 games, top 10 games.

You know why that's a flawed argument, why do you troll?

Frankly, I must say I don't think Ratchet 'deserves' to sell as routsounmanman says (about basically every game, I might add - no offence man). Developers that lack the vision to drive this industry into the future don't deserve strong sales (that said, EA is proof the world isn't fair). Of course, that's just my ideology. The game evidently is just as good as previous R&Cs. If I had a PS3 I would buy it, definitely. It's just funny that, I think, MikeB and probably someone like leo-j said Ratchet could outscore Galaxy - that obviously isn't happening.

^ right there in your quote: "I have to say I agree with Shams, the game will be fantastic and as I have said in other threads a very compelling reason to buy a PS3. But I too feel it is missing the spark that makes top 10 games, top 10 games."  <- critisism

Looks like the PS3's first exclusive with a Metacritic rating of over 90.

 This is nothing like EA.  EA doesn't change anything in their itterations except the player names.  The games have been the same for years.  However, R&C has added new weapons/weapon upgrade system, new characters, new worlds and improved engine.  Add on the new Sixaxis control events (Tornado gun, Drop navigation from the demo, etc.) and you have additonal content.

Think of it like this.  Super Mario Brothers vs Super Mario Brothers 2.  What did SMB2 add to the mix?  what about 3?  They took the same winning formula and enhanced it.  They didn't change much, (new characters, new worlds, new weapons... sound familiar?)
