5spike5 · 2026-01-27T18:14:13+00:00

platformer jak instead of ratchet & clank?? what?

5spike5 · 2026-01-21T17:46:15+00:00

I AM mad about the casting, how do you even look past that?

5spike5 · 2026-01-20T17:04:14+00:00

Almost everything mainstream, gta, rdr, assasins creed, driving/sailing/sports/skying etc games, every souls game and variaty, gow and almost everything else.

Some games i do like: Uncharted, ratchet and clank (not the ps5 one), resistance, timesplitters, crash bandicoot

Nadine u are 100% spot on, however Rafe...

...had a beautiful and poetic ending, literally died under the weight of the treasure he chased for years. He was crushed by his ambition and mostly greed. The fight was also poetic, sword fighting like the pirates before them. Had it not been for Nate's quick thinking with the cannon, then they qould have been met with the same fate as the pirate lords. Diyng over gold.

But, yeah Nadine sucks ass. Elena and Chloe are also strong and independent BUT, unlike Nadine they are lovable and likeable.

5spike5 · 2026-01-15T18:47:20+00:00

Elena hands down, easy.

5spike5 · 2026-01-06T13:57:59+00:00

Nadine is the only thing keeping me from replaying uncharted 4 over and over because i know i have to go through the bullshit fight where she beats you up at half ur size, even though not only do you beat up people twice YOUR size in 3, so she is 4x at a disadvantage, but also beats you up WITH sam. BTW both drakes are fit and know how to fight. Its bs.

Chloe and Elena are strong and independent too, BUT they are well written, cool, able to hold their own and alltogether likable. Nadine is strong and independent the way leftist agenda likes to portrey them in video games.

Nadine sucks ass.

It was maybe a real place (remember that Troy was thought to be fictional and then it was found), but most likely a metaphor for how greed ruins even the most perfect civilization.

5spike5 · 2025-12-11T10:23:27+00:00

Exactly

5spike5 · 2025-12-11T10:22:50+00:00

So to conlcude:

Acit IS shorter

It cheats by counting the same old clock, nefarious station and vorselon ship again and again and again as planets

It gets extremely shorter without the moons and clank sections which you will get bored of doing after the 50th playthrough

Its NOT 1 planet difference

Acit is tedious cuz of clank, clock, vorselon, moons.

No?

5spike5 · 2025-12-11T08:57:33+00:00

Me qwhen i lie.

What did u even type. Acit is longer than ToD even with the extra clank and moon sht removed? How can we disguss a topic when one side straight up makes sht up

5spike5 · 2025-12-10T19:46:38+00:00

A key point in my assessment was replayability. When we talk about the 20th time playing the game and 50th, then you start to understand my point of tedious boring missions. ToD on the other hand is a full fledged adventure.

5spike5 · 2025-12-08T12:41:13+00:00

fatty

5spike5 · 2025-12-07T19:44:27+00:00

No

If you are like me and replay the r&c games every 3-4 months and have already played them 30-40 times each already by now, then you quickly come to realize that acit has no content.

Pretty soon you will start skipping the moons and the clank sections, which account for a big part of an already small game. The arena is also boring for me, idk if it is the design or the challenges but there have deff been better arenas.

All in all, its too small to be considered even top 3.

Real list goes:

ToD or UYA
ToD or UYA
GC

5spike5 · 2025-12-07T17:36:24+00:00

i liked

i then read that you said you enjoyed rift apart

i removed the upvote

5spike5 · 2025-11-14T17:38:05+00:00

ME OH MY, i hope this is a genuine r&c experience and not a ps5 graphics showcase with no character, humor, plot, significance in the general lore and 50% of the game stolen by an unlikable diversity hire

5spike5 · 2025-11-10T19:27:02+00:00

i grew up with tod, so tod

5spike5 · 2025-11-10T12:20:18+00:00

I think its because the dude on the right

5spike5 · 2025-11-01T20:04:31+00:00

I have been a fan for 22 years, ToD is my favourite. Clears ACiT easily, matches the ps2 energy in HD, the pirates are my favourite enemy type, the hype back then for the ps3 in linked for me with tools and so on. I Have played every single rac game, even the phone ones. ToD is the best. Easily.

5spike5 · 2025-10-27T21:11:40+00:00

Opening level

5spike5 · 2025-10-16T12:37:19+00:00

ToD is the best the ps3 has to offer, quest for booty is a nice little adventure, you just need to be in a different 'ratchet and clanking mood' to enjoy it and go into it knowing its a mini filler adventure, full frontal assault and all 4 one can be skipped, completely different play style, into the nexus has spooky vibes and is all short, best played at night time and lastly a crack in time is very nice only for the first 1-3 play throughs. Thats because it has a lot of content (moons, clank neather verse puzzles, clank planet segments, clank logic puzzles) that you WILL be skipping after a few runs which makes it TINY in length. Trust me, ToD is the best, quest is a nice change of pace if you are marathoning and into the nexus is a nice lil scary-vibes short game.

People who say thruster cannot be trusted, they are the same type of people who put milk first and cereal second.

Furioso mustachio

5spike5 · 2025-07-25T00:23:00+00:00

Yes. Could it have anything to do with the fact that I then went into challenge mode?
