Line 21:
** It makes sense if they're nocturnal (considering the developer is ''[[Stealth Pun|Insomniac]]'' Games) or crepuscular. What ''doesn't'' make sense is why those large eyes aren't protected by long eyelashes like a camel. Maybe that's what the caterpillar eyebrows are for?
** Remember in Going Commando when Angela kept tripping and falling? It makes sense when you consider that [[Secondary Sexual Characteristics|female Lombaxes don't have tails]] and therefore are probably much less balanced...
* [[Fridge Logic]]: If the Lombax alphabet does not contain the letter 'x', how are they supposed to write their own species name? [[Spell My Name
** There IS an "x". It can be seen in All 4 One. It's the same as a "P" but upside down.
* [[Game Breaker]]: [[Fun
** The Mega Supernova (The Harbinger's upgraded form) V99 from Deadlocked. All minor foes are vaporized in one shot, and the bosses take massive damage from it.
** A non-[[Infinity+1 Sword]] example: The Rift Inducer of Up Your Arsenal, which basically one-shots all small to medium-sized mooks.
Line 37:
'''Nefarious''': LIES! SQUISHY LIIIIIIIEEEEE...*jams* }}
** Also, the vid-comic's narrator's utter disbelief at the concept of "robotic pirate ghosts" takes on a whole new meaning once you encounter some in ''Quest For Booty''.
** Let's see... Ratchet's a guy from a backwater place who builds stuff, whose melee weapon of choice is a wrench, and who is a proud proponent of "[[More Dakka|more gun]]". After looking at it this way, all those [[Team Fortress 2
** In ''Up Your Arsenal'', the president has a daughter named Sasha. [[Barack Obama|Remind you of anyone?]]
* [[Ho Yay]]: Ratchet and Clank, and to a lesser extent Ratchet and Qwark.
Line 60:
* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Surprisingly, [[The Hero|Ratchet]] was disliked by many critics in the first game due to his [[Wangst]] and [[Jerkass|Jerkassiness]]. However, from the second game onward, he [[Took a Level In Kindness]] and [[Deadpan Snarker|snarkiness]]. The [[The Other Darrin|switch]] from Mikey Kelley to [[James Arnold Taylor]] certainly helped.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Each planet from ''Going Commando'' onwards begins with the camera positioned to make a striking tableau of the starting area.
** The very first ''trailer'' for ''Tools of Destruction'' was nothing more than the camera showing off HD, [[
* [[Sequelitis]]: Surprisingly few claims of this given that, if spin-offs are counted, there have been 9 games in the past 7 years.
* [[That One Boss]]: The battle against the Thugs 4 Less Leader on Snivelak in ''Going Commando'' is this for many people - it's not so much that it's difficult, but it takes forever to go down. Your normal weapons aren't very effective, forcing you to run around the city looking for turrets with which to whittle down his health - all the while shooting down his bombs - before he comes and destroys your turret after a certain amount of time has elapsed. Which is why smart players hide around a corner and kill the Thug Leader with spider/tank bots.
Line 72:
** Getting 100% completion in ''Crack in Time'' requires you to [[Scoring Points|Score High]] on a [[Nintendo Hard]] mini-game fraught with [[Stylistic Suck]]. Not to mention the the downright evil time puzzles required to get the last of the Gold Bolts.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: How some fans and critics felt about ''Deadlocked''.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]: Almost all of the female characters who could've turned out to be Ratchet's love interest are [[Put
** One of the biggest complaints in ''Deadlocked'' is that you can't use Clank.
* [[The Scrappy]] / [[Creator's Pet]]: Qwark never really did put up a good fight when he was a villain. Having twice teamed up with Ratchet and Clank, he's even more inept than ever, [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]] notwithstanding for players assuming control of Qwark in All 4 One. His [[It's All About Me|glory-hound attitude]], if it didn't already piss people off, it will now.
