who had better games?
For some reason 6th gen western edgy mascots depress me
>>12545304These boys.
Ratchet and it's not even close
>>12545304They're all just a poor man's Shadow.
>>12545304Sly > Ratchet >>>>> Daxter
>>12545304I hate how platforming just kind of died in 6th gen and got converted into what are basically 3rd person action shooters.
>>12545304Ratchet is better on averageSly is designed with innate understanding of player psychology and actively pushes the player in ways the other two don't, feels great to play.Jak is for the streets (Mariogroids)
>>12545492There were loads of platformers of all kinds at the time.
>>12545304Sly by far
>>12545304It's ironic that all of these franchises, save for Ratchet & Clank just barely holding on, died since the devs wanted to make realistic movie games. But now that the phase of cutscene-heavy movie games ended, people once again want video games with stylized artstyles, in some fantasy kitchen sink setting, with gameplay as the main focus. These franchises might have been as big as Resident Evil or Final Fantasy in the gaming industry if they were never abandoned.
>>12545958Sad and bleak way of looking at things. Sometimes things are done anon, not every work of entertainment needs endless sequels and spinoffs. They're inanimate things, they can't live or die.
>>12545958>jak has an entire trilogy on the ps2>kino racing spinoff epilogue game>kino psp spinoff>shitty psp spinoffi don't like how faggy and samey sony's recent first part output is either, but most of their old ips felt 'complete' to me
>>12545304Ratchet probably, but Jak deserves credit for its style and ambition and Sly deserves credit for its consistency.
>>12546284That's a problem too though. Sony blows their load too early with certain franchises whereas Mario is reasonably spread out to one mainline game per system.
>>12545304Ratchet > Sly >>>>>>>>Jak
>>12545304Sly > Ratchet/JakAll three series are great, though.
all the ps2 Ratchet & Clank games are greatSly and Jak ones are just alrightI'm saying this as someone who never had a playstation growing up so I have no nostalgia glasses for any of them
>>12545304R&C
Sly (if it didn't have mini games) > ratchet > sly with minigames > jak
>>12545958the concept art for Jak 4 still haunts me
>>12545304Ratchet > Sly > Jak 2>1>3 for Ratchet2>3>1 for Jak and Sly
>>12545485it's sad how one of the worst Sonic games still mogs your average scrimblo's best
>>12545492>>12545778Platformers are fundamentally primitive gameplay.The genre evolved in two different ways: Portal (dead end) and Prince Of Persia (parkourlikes)
All the Ratchet games are greatJak 1 is the only good JakSly 2 is the only good Sly
>>12545309They're very sterile and corporate, nothing really unique about them. They maybe remind you of a time where things seemed new and fresh. There's nothing really that edgy about banjo kazooie banter but you shoot things despite what the marketing is trying to make you believe. There's a reason these characters mostly died off.
