Yes. Go go Crash!!!
Oh and Resistance 4 with RFoM multiplayer, R2 co-op, and R3 Campaign inspirations!
I believe so. That is how NG+ is supposed to work.
Ugh, and a 7.5...guess this is a rental....I had such high hopes.
This looks like another great game for 2016, have to make it feel like a review thread. Felt weird.
This needs to be in every game.

That's because Naughty Dog are stoopeed... T_T
Giant Bomb probably doesn't review this game. They are rather selective.

I keep refreshing waiting for the Polygon review...

I was just watching yours. I appreciate that you mention some of the animations being stiff. They had it perfect (or at least noticeably better) even back in the day with GC and UYA in that regard, and of course, Tools of Destruction and Crack in Time had fluid animations as well. A little disappointing at the step back it seems to have taken in that regard, but it's still not too much of an issue. It was apparent to me from preview videos.
2/5

Same, lol.
They gave Nexus an 8.5, and have been glowing about this up until this point... however, they have been very suspect with reasonings (social and political climate issues, lol) with a few reviews the past year or two.
So the pessimism towards them has me seeing a Gies reviewed 6.5 tops, lol. With a caption saying, 'not Kameo enough' or something.
I hearted Kameo.

Why? Like, why Polygon in particular when we have so many reviews already posted?
EDIT: Oh, based on Deep Enigma's post, I assume it is for the politics.

Because this thread has been too perfect so far, lol.
Because one or a few low/crazy scores determines how good the game is. Screw the other 40-60 reviews. (See Quantum Break thread, lol)
Insomniac are on point lately, they're doing some good stuff.

They're assuming Polygon will be the outlier, which is rarely the case. Still hurt over TLoU I'm guessing.

Just pre-ordered through amazon. Can't wait to play. Also, there 20% discount off of new games is sick.

True, well, the field has been set. When you have like a 75 as the lowest score, that leaves Polygon a lot of room to drop the bottom out. I know they do seem to have the lowest score on a few games, for whatever reasons.

Nah, there have been a few outliers. I just like GAFs reaction to anything and everything Polygon.
People getting excited to shit on a Polygon review they haven't read yet kind of grosses me out. You guys have already made up your mind and the review doesn't even exist yet.
If you don't like a particular publication then just don't factor in their reviews when looking at opinions. Problem solved. Don't look for excuses to get angry.

I really, really hope this sells well. The weird spin-offs aside, it's such a consistently brilliant series. Glad to see it's reviewed so well.

Hahaha, we are just having a little fun here. If we can't laugh and some of the shit they pull, as well as others, then what the fuck ever man.
Shit is not that serious.

Reviews are pretty damn solid so far. I was a little skeptical about this game but now I'm actually pretty excited to play it now. Ratchet and Clank has always been one of my favorite series on the playstation so good to know this didn't fail to deliver.
Haha this is me too.

It's all in good fun, for most of us at least. To be fair though, sometimes some of the writers at Polygon have weird justifications for not liking games, the guy who is reviewing R&C especially.

You say that, but I've seen more than my fair share of people gleefully ripping into Polygon for having an outlier score even when it's super duper obvious they didn't even bother to read the review.
I'm glad you know better than to take this shit seriously but way too many people don't. If you want proof just look at the old UC3 review thread with like 50 people losing their minds over Eurogamer's 8/10.
Maybe, but wouldn't be surprised if he's too busy with Oculus Rift games and Quantum Break reviews.

You can download it just now and play tomorrow.

Review threads are kinda boring without some controversial scores.
Going to take my cousins to the movie, it will be the dubbed version. I'm prepared to cringe a lot.

Have there really? I'm talking about PS exclusives. Idk I think they'll give it a fair shake. They seem to have a penchant for these type of whimsical games.

To be fair some of those posts were clearly jokes too
Sure. And a bunch of them definitely weren't.
Just seen the Gamersyde videos, oh my this thing is a beauty :O
I have no doubt that in stills some of the faults will be noticeable but in motion it's so gorgeous! one of the best looking games on PS4, like in the top 3.
I know that in every gen people think that Ratchet looks like a pixar video, I never thought like that, those games visually were never my thing, but with this game it does have that animation video look to it, obviously not Pixar (we are decades away from that), but for the first time I feel like it is true.

Ya it was odd that it did indeed take a step back. It was still good but noticable for sure.

It's really perfect to have not played a Ratchet game since ACiT many years ago. I don't think this will top that game from a gameplay standpoint, but it's still going to be very fun and I won't feel tired of it because I haven't played a game like this in a long while. I think GoW is going to be the same for me. Last one I played was Gow III and I never even played Ascension. When that one comes, I think it's going to feel fresh.

Oh yeah I also forgot to say that he thinks the game is better than Crack in Time (which was his previous favorite in the series)

This will never change. It was meltdown suicide watch with Twilight Princess and Gerstmann, lol.

Now that's funny! lol
Whoa! Which was mine as well.
Now I am so glad I am 'working from home' to play this game tomorrow. Too damned hyped!

I played one of its PS3 titles and generally liked it even if it didn't inspire me to try the entire series. But what the hell, I'll jump in on this one. Price is good.
