Here is the only negative portion of the review.

"The strength of each character is important, because the story itself is probably Ratchet & Clank’s weakest point. It’s a basic story about two hapless misfits who set out to achieve a dream and save the galaxy from catastrophe at the hands of greedy and mad antagonists. Other than a rushed and awkward ending, there’s nothing unforgivable about it. It just serves more as a vehicle for the characters who outshine everything else in the narrative."

You can call me whatever you want Champ, but the review system here is incredibly inconsistent, and deserves to be questioned. Maybe they should let their staff review more games instead of passing them off to freelance writers.

What the hell does the Gamespot staff do all day anyway? Because Freelancers seem to do an awful lot of their work.

games dont start at 10's and then get negative points if thats whats bothering you. I see nothing wrong with the review, if they are going to include a story its open to criticism.

I know that's not how it works. If anything, it seems like they write a review full or witty wordplay and then pick a number out of a hat.

You have been a Super Duper Lem, now only in last few weeks you have attempted to tow this Manicore line that is still slanted for the Lemside. B****h please.

@aigis: still begs the question: I'm sure DS3 has less of a story than R&C and it got the same score.

Not that you can compare the 2 equally but if you're going to bitch about lack of story I don't think they even consider that in DS3.

Awesome. The PS4 train keeps on steaming ahead. Feel bad for the LEMS. What the hell are they playing. PS4 sloppy seconds (sub-par resolutions and frame rates).

Ratchet and Clank

Salt and Sancutary

UC4

Too little time.................... Too many games................... if you are a PS4 owner at least.

Times like this made me wish I owned and Xbox. That way I would have so few choices and so much more money.

Congrats to the fans anticipating this game, the ones that are good sports here. I suspected this game would do well, because their last game, Sunset Overdrive, is easily one of my favorite games of this Gen.

Good move on the 40$ tag too, as the Gamespot review mentioned an 8 hour playtime and if I compare it to SO, that game had a nice online mode and this appears to be a solo trek only. I'd definitely buy it if the game was on XOne, in an alternate time line (I think I've been playing too much QB lately lol....)

It depends on the game, ratchet and clank has more of a story focus than DS3 from my understanding. DS3 isnt a story based game to the same degree that R&C is from my understanding. R&C tries to put a story out and just does a basic job, so its open to criticism, while DS isnt focusing on the stor, so it isnt as high a priority. DS should never be a 10/10 when it has pretty much no story, but I dont think you should knock it for something thats not a focus.

Glad to see gameplay variation is a positive this time around, rather than a negative :P

Seems like a great game. I'll be missing out without a PS4, but there's too much to play anyways.

8's a good number, it's like saying it's not the score one gets from being bought off or to meet your review readers expectations else they'd riot, but good enough too just let you know it's good

anyhow, Insomniac has talent, just a shame it was squandered last gen on those Resistance titles but that's behind us now, hope they can give us a Sunset sequel eventually, that game was great, Insominiac retains rights to it so hopefully we'll see a sequel even if it shows up on other systems too

Wanna know something funny lem, I've been on here and IGN for nearly 2 years now and guess who are the ones that have always called 8/10 games flops, if you guessed your lem brethren then you're correct.

We get it, you like shite like QB and hate good games.

Like how inFamous got slammed as a flop on both here and IGN when it got an 8 and a 8.7 respectively.

I wasn't saying lems are worse (though I do believe they are) but they sure as hell started that "80 is garbage" nonsense

Oh I'm not playing the victim at all, I couldn't care less what morons like Kvally say about the score.

Doesn't make what I said any less valid though.

Even in the Ratchet and Clank hype/review thread, the fall out from Quantum Break's mass floppage continues to permeate to places on this forum it shouldn't.

The salt and the wounds of the lems runs emotionally deep it seems.

@TheEroica: No doubt these games truly deserve more attention since they are new ips and indies, but sadly people will pass them up since they haven't been reviewed by GS or just because they're "indie trash" like some comments I've seen about those type of games in general. I for one I'm getting both and Hyper Light Drifter tonight :)

@Heil68: You finish Quantam Break? I thought it was fantastic. Ratchet and Clank is probably much better as a game though, the best thing about QB is the story/characters.
