You know the drill, it’s time for me to continue having opinions on Fire Emblem characters! Man it’s hard to make descriptions for these!
Ratchet & Clank continue their search for Captain Qwark. Pinning the guy down is pretty difficult given we’re mostly seeing him in ads, but surely he’s gotta be around for that hoverboard race he’s supposed to be hosting, right?
We’ve been on sidequest duty for so long that now that we’re on Chapter 8, New LA is under attack. The Ganglion are marching towards the city, and as always they’re ignoring our pleas to not kill us. So, it’s our job to throw as many of them into the garbage can with our big robots as possible.
It’s that time of year again? That’s right! You may not have noticed, but it was recently Christmas Eve, so once again I find myself playing Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and doing a little reminiscing of the various games I played throughout the year.
Well, it turns out Captain Qwark is a sellout, which really isn’t that surprising considering the number of ads we’ve seen him in. But that also means he’s teamed up with a dangerous, planet-destroying capitalist and now we’ve seen the lengths he’ll go to to remove us. And uh… Ratchet does not appreciate that Clank fell for a ruse. And now he’s going to be petty about it for several hours.
It’s sidequest time once again, and today we discover that someone left a bunch of explosive beanie babies around New LA. Thankfully, there’s no actual time limit to finding them because there’s 99 of them and I cannot be bothered doing that all at once. So instead, it’s time to check in on the cult situation and that xenophobic guy! How… fun???
We continue our search for Dr. Young, and unfortunately Joker has a lot of people on her tail that seem closer than we are. Being able to destroy the Titan formula would be one victory, but that’s probably not all we need to do to stop Joker’s plan.
If we want Ratchet to see the surface of Orxon, we’ll have to get an O2 mask from a resort. As you do. Of course, after preventing some illegal dumping in the pristine-ish resort waters, then we actually gotta get through Orxon. Which isn’t exactly easy!
Today, we once again scour the Ma-non ship to help out the local Xenoforms. We’ll be helping the Prone strategize, accidentally aiding staff fraud, and getting the Nopon caravans to put on a fireworks show.
Batman may have burned the Titan formula, but it seems Joker still knows a way to make men into hulking monstrosities. He’s gone off to the Botanical Garden to put a bow on the Titan project, and we’re running out of time to stop him. So uh… what are the odds Joker hasn’t set up anything to keep us busy?
Ratchet is still honed in on taking revenge on Captain Qwark. Will that be a problem? Considering Chairman Drek is the one with any actual power and Qwark is just a washed-up has-been, priorities do seem like they should be a little different.
