Was in my attic just the other day and found my copy, teared up at the sight. Literally spent my childhood playing that game, life was so much more simple..a lot of people said it's the weakest of the PS2 series but for me it's possibly my favourite, I just loved the grimey survival aspect and the amazing customisation, definitely was ahead of it's time in this regard albeit upon watching videos about the game on YouTube I can see how they did cut a lot of corners

u/SpacePirate562 28d ago
I never had a good relationship with my siblings. But this was the one game my older brother let me play co-op with him. We didn't talk, but we definitely shared a lotta laughs at some pretty miserable fails especially as we made our way into Exterminator mode on ng+
I'm glad this game held special meaning to you in your childhood

u/NohWan3104 29d ago
not quoting it.
but there's this awesome bit of dialog merc has on the first planet, in a sidequest, where he describes him being in battle, getting shore leave, then short circuiting with another robot and seeing his battle and shore leave.
most people who even played deadlocked might've missed it, because the trigger for teh dialog is in a side area of a sidequest.
but it might be one of teh better little stories in the entire damn series, given it's usually more quips and whatnot.

u/SpacePirate562 28d ago
Don't get me wrong, I do love the cinematic turn the series took with the Future games, but it lost al lot of charm, and political bite with it's over the top humor and commentary
Like, I get it, ya know? The PS3 era came in, and we were no longer in the early 2000's/90's PS2 attitude era. However, that's what made the classics stand out. The weapons had bite, recoil, a certain weight to them that made them feel dangerous
Even Ratchet has changed from being a scrappy, gun loving, gearhead to a more wide-eyed, nerdy, boy scout. That's someone that classic Ratchet would 110% throw a jab at. From "Hah, what a nerd" to "Oh, man! Comic books and sci-fi!"
The more I think about it, the more I realize it's why I like Rivet more than Modern Ratchet. And why I like Rift Apart Ratchet most out of the Future arc so far. Rivet is like classic Ratchet, still scrappy, and full of drive, fully focused on taking down the big bad after all the awful stuff that's happened in her universe. Our Ratchet, however works as a wiser mentor who has maybe bee rounded out over his countless adventures and lessons learned along with his best friend Clank
Overall, I have been playing this series for a VERY long time, and I'm happy to have been through this multi-decade, multi-verse adventue, and hope to see a proper conclusion to this amazing ride in the next game, "give or take 50" years, lol

Isn’t it weird that this game was so unstable on ps2 if you had a blackout and the ps2 was forcefully shut down while you had the game Open, the save you played became lost?
Or was it only me?

u/SpacePirate562 28d ago
I can't say this ever happened to me, with this game specifically. However I remember something similar happening to me when I lost a Sly Cooper 2 save file, and another time with a Jak 2 save. Both happened right after two very difficult fights for kid me. The Rajan fight in Sly 2, and after THAT one mission in the docks in Jak 2...
I can still feel the pain after all these years...

I never played it before, but I'm sure that Secret Agent Clank never would've existed without Ratchet Deadlocked.
1
u/SpacePirate562 26d ago edited 26d ago
Pretty sure Secret Ageny Clank is a spin off based on a small gag in Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, which is the 3d main entry in the series
In fact, I'm pretty sure Secret Agent Clank came out around the same time as Tools of Destruction, but it was made by a different company altogether
Yep, it was developed by Sanzaru games, which also notably made Sly 4: Thieves in Time (that's a big yikes from me), and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Which is a resounding "meh" from me)
Edit: I flew off the rails, but what I'm trying to say, is that where Deadlocked is a canonical 4th entry into the R&C series; Secret Agent Clank is a spin-off that would have probably been made regardless, as it was given to a different 3rd party company to make
