Insomniacs are clever enough to realize they are in a position with Sony where making MORE than 1 game is good for both parties. It is inevitable the "grand finale TRUE ending" to the Future games will be dragged on for a while.
Also, I thought it was inevitable that Rivet and Kit will have similar backstories, being "dimensional counterparts" and all. All in all, the story of this game is exactly what I expected.

It's always been a critical point for me that the series sort of lost it's I don't want to say edgeness but more some of the punkish aspects. Rivet is Ratchet but less severe from R&C 1. Then there's the whole deal with "dimensional counterparts yet not?" due to the whole Angela Cross bit. I like these games, they inspired my whole species! But keeping track of all the retcons has got me to a point where I just leave it off after Into The Nethers xD.
I would argue there is SOME justification for Rivet being the way she is. She has to be older than Ratchet was in 1, since she went through more stuff, had to mature fast and learn the virtues of patience and seof-restraint. All the while Ratchet in 1 was a bored teenager who's biggest accomplishment was building a ship from scratch, wanting to see the world. He didn't live a life yet.
I always say it: to enjoy the games, skip all the spin-offs. Do not play the PSP titles (outsourced to mediocre devs and writers), avoid All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault (only released to make fast money, no passion in the script and it shows). Pretend PS4 never existed. THEN, you have 7 full length good games, and 2 short ones. 9 in total, no TOO many.

This is all very true! I just miss the snarkier version of Ratchet, snarky without being an asshole is a fun character archetype, it fdeels like too much was sanded off all at once. Which is hilariously appropriate given how semi anti-corporate the original titles were. And that's another sticking point for me, arguing she's got more char-development in one game isn't super fair. Yes Ratchet was a bored teen who then went on to save the galaxy.
Rivet's team was losing the fight. I like her, but she's only gotten one game worth of character development. I would approve of seeing her and kit more, but I´m mainly here for Ratchet & Clank whereas I think Rivet & Kit could make for a cool side-story duo.

I won't drag this conversation for too much longer, but will mention that IG made Ratchet WAY more "nice" in the very first PS2 sequel once they heard from some angry fans who felt personally offended or something. Like seeing a main character yelling at someone brought flashbacks from childhood or something.
To make it short, edginess being sanded off is not a recent thing, that was introduced in Going Commando/Locked & Loaded. Ratchet's current mood is at least justified by him being a whole lot older.

True the conversation is dragging on a while, let us put it to rest. While it's disheartening to hear stuff like that happened that far back, I still wish Ratchet got to keep more of the spunk Rivet has. Just a personal preference, I noticed the sanding off of course. I don't get personal offence with an entertainment medium even as that's becoming more common.
Still wish they'd found a way to keep some of the fighter/giant clank ones. At least the platforming aaaaargh!
