Absolutely hate ToD and every game that has released after it. I played the ps2 games to death on the ps2, and replayed them for years until 2013 when I FINALLY got a ps3, and the Future games. I had high excitement for the future games that other Ratchet fans had been hyping up for so long, to finally get to play it myself... AND oh, insomniac retcons Ratchet as the last of his species chosen one, even though we met another of his species before. Oh and clank is retconned to? how nice... Now instead of fun writing, we have someone who hates the original games retconning everything to make it more like the hollywood movies he was never good enough to write for.
Oh well at least the games will have surely improved on the honestly kind of boring strafe jump shoot gameplay of 2, 3 and deadlocked, and maybe make it more enjoyable and engaging like the first game? Oh no it's still just strafe jump shoot, and the maps? Nope, maps haven't improved, and platforming still hardly exists... great. Oh but the series still has it''s sick music right? Nope, that is gone too. Well surely, they still have the cool weapons right that was one of the big things the series was known for? Oh no, now we have the groovitron and MR ZURKON.
I was hit with disappointment after disappointment plaything through the games. Years of waiting and hype to finally play some new games from one of my favorite series, and I found the series hadn't advanced at all, and instead had regressed. I'll still always love R&C's PS2 games, and the first game will always be on my shelf of favorite games of all time and I still replay it frequently. But both the series and insomniac as a studio is absolutely dead to me. I feel like going from ps2 insomniac, to ps3 insomniac is going from gamers making games, to a corporation making products. Anyways, that's just my own feelings towards it, I know many people love the future games, and even the newer ones. If that's you, cheers to you. And glad you enjoy them
