The original game's combat benefitted from its limited mobility by making you have to consider what the best weapon for the job was. It made each encounter feel almost like a puzzle. In every game after you just spam strafe jump and use whatever. It made combat mindless. Strafing ruined this series.

Focusing too much on wacky gimmick guns instead of cool badass guns ruined the series. Also making Ratchet boring.

Up Your Arsenal is too linear and combat-heavy

When Rivet gives Ratchet a complimentary handjob inside Aphelion, do you think she uses her real arm or robot arm to jerk him off?

Deadlocked remains the best game in the series. People will reply to this post telling me I'm wrong, but they're all just retarded retards.

strafing is what elevated it gameplay-wise from being just a late era PS1 game
