Eh great game but it’s only about 20hrs or less I did start second playthrough but just too much else out there to want to go back to it. Had no problems and it looked amazing, they really should keep going with RC games on pc but doubt they’ll ever do older ones only new ones ported over later on.
Most of this series can be easily emulated if you are inclined.
Yep did that back in the day but now there are so many native pc games that it’s not worth the hassle for those older RC titles to me. Only ones I bother w emulation last few years are nintendo titles which are easier on the hardware usage most of the time.
i enjoyed playing the R&C 2016 more than woke Rift. Most of the time you’re not even playing as Ratchet, and his female version is NOT unique in terms of gameplay. So what was the point right?
The gender of a fictional orange wombat in a cartoon-styled game seems to be very important to you.
If she’s a new character, why not give her unique tools, abilities and move sets? She’s only there just because she’s female?
So you enjoyed the castrated 2016 remake than the not woke at all completely new 2021 release.
Sure mate.
Exactly, playing with Rivet is the same as playing with Ratchet. So, why is this a problem again?
it’s a problem for me because why bother creating a female character if she’s not unique (in terms of gameplay)? They felt the need to add her in here just because there has to be a female hero. Understand or not?
I’m pc only though and not into emulating heavier games just don’t have the system so obv didn’t play 2016 game. But like the other comments I don’t get that it’s so important that one of the main protags is female, esp these cartoony games.
I get that there’s a feminist/minority/lgbtxyx marxist agenda ALL over everywhere going on, just the way the ptb want it, but being aware of the nonsense can negate it for more awake people. I avoid cringey versions of it but not in every case is it worth the hassle to get upset, this is one of those cases. You’ll burn yourself out mentally if you mind these tribester-mason-tranzy clowns and their foul fart of a gambit too much. They’ll get their just due one way or another don’t doubt it.
