Having your idol (Captain Qwark) turn out to be the bad guy and then save your home planet was awesome! Is that a major plot twist or just something minor and obvious to the player? I'm guessing major as "awesome" doesn't really apply to minor and obvious things. Regardless, you spoiled it so the rest of us will never experience either of those "awesome" moments. |

I remember it being progressive and not instantaneous. But it's been some time since I've played it. |

yes
And why were you a day late posting this weekly discussion thread? This isn't the first time it has happened either. I'm getting tired of this bad habit of yours. Do you even know how much I love the weekly discussions? When I don't see one on monday I freak out. It makes me so angry! You'd darn better have a reasonable excuse. I'm sure Dan E. Kool isn't happy about this, either, and probably has taken note of this slip up. It sure would be a shame if we had to impeach you.... So right. Maestro is so right. You know, Balder doesn't give MeleeMonk enough credit. He deserves a lot of credit. And I give it to him. But Balder doesn't. The Weekly Discussions are too late! We see it all the time. Sometimes Tuesdays. Sometimes a Wednesday. Honestly, we're lucky if we get one at all. Sometimes, a LOT of times, it's not even there. And it shouldn't be that way. I'm usually on time. But whenever you have your suggestion it has never been on time. Not even once. |

Do you even know how much I love the weekly discussions? When I don't see one on monday I freak out. It makes me so angry! You'd darn better have a reasonable excuse. Do you want to know why it's not out on Monday? Because it's always released on Tuesday. Every Tuesday before I take the bus to university I post the new weekly game discussion. If you love the weekly game discussions that much, then you would know that they are always released on Tuesday. So here is the release schedule: Tuesday: Weekly game discussion Wednesday: Weekly Vault suggestions But doesn't the week technically start on Monday? If Saturday and Sunday are considered the week end, then Monday must be the beginning of a new week. Besides, I hate Tuesday.... |

Nobody has complained it's on a Tuesday until now. |

Just until we can figure out what the hell is going on! |

You hate Tuesdays, but now you have a reason not to hate it. That's something I can agree with. I would hate Tuesdays otherwise. About the game, it seems opinions on it are varied enough. I have a question: how does Sony's 3D platformers in general compare to their Nintendo competitors? Are they as competently made as your usual Mario? |

I've never heard anyone complain about Ratchet & Clank on a technical level. As for the comparison with Mario, I can't say much since I've played too few of them. |

To be honest other than Mario Nintendo doesn't really make these kind of games either. It is Rare that used to do that. I would say Rare definitely had a major edge on the N64, but the Sony platformers did catch up eventually. Plus Mario is on its own league just like Sonic. |

Are they as competently made as your usual Mario? They play and are set up quite a bit different from the 3d mario games, especially when you get into their sequels. They're made competently enough though and they all are polished. |

I'm a PlayStation fan, but I was never into their mascots. They may have acommplished getting the proper polish after the PS1, but I simply don't feel the magic of their N64 counterparts. You raise a great point. On a conceptual level, R&C, J&D, Spyro, they're all sound and even nostalgic anthropomorphic mascots, but every time I've ever picked one up, I have not finished playing it. Mario, on the other hand, I've 100%ed nearly every one that I've played. The closest I've come to caring about a Sony mascot is Crash Bandicoot and even then, that love was short-lived due in no small part to lack of consistency amidst the later titles. |

Glad to have you back, teddykongcountry . Never leave me alone with these madmen again. I like to think of this as a civil forum board with Dan E. Kool as keeper of the civility; even if I must step out, I know someone will be there to keep things online in line. |
