message: Ok, i was playing Ratchet & Clank: UYA yesterday, and i found something weird... I have 3 save files on my game, the first 2 i got past Aridia, and on the third one, i got to the part on aquatos where you first find slim cogneto, i bought the lava gun. then on my way to the ship, i found a path leading to a room (you know the empty ones that have the computers with the green screens) then i found a spot that said, (triangle button) Use Submarine and go to Nefarious' Base. and then when it started showing the submarine traveling through the water (similar to what your ship does when going to a planet), it just kept repeating the same 4 scenes over and over and over and over and over and over again, it shows a close up,then it shows it traveling through the water, then a side view, then it traveling through the water again, then it repeats... it kept doing this non-stop for hours... is this a transport to the end of the game? or is it a glitch? P.S. when i turned the game on today, the file said Aquatos, and then when i opened it to play it, it was the submarine travel scene again!!!
:: definitly a glitch, i have played through 4 times and i think the sub goes to the sewer. 203.129.36.40 05:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is This a Glitch? 

message: I'm not really sure this article is all too encyclopedic. There is a lot of opinion in the writing. For example, flat out saying the Holo Shield Glove is nearly useless isn't really unbiased. You could say, "most players felt it was useless." I actually found it helpful until i got the shield charger. Also, the section about the Insomniac Museum could use some work. Typing "*cough*" around all the hints would be fine in a gamer's forum, but in an encyclopedia, we should be more formal. Overall, the article is pretty good though. Mred64 04:17, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Some Comments

message: I'm taking the liberty to mature the article a little bit.
Comments like: "Up Your Arsenal" is an attempted censor of the British version of "Up Your Ass." The British say "up your arse." are just juvenile TotalTommyTerror 19:21, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

message: But how in the heck were they not able to get away with Going Commando, but they can get away with Up Your Arsenal? Methinks there's a double standard at work here.
P.S.: Not to mention that 'loaded' I would say, has way worse connations than going commando.

replies: text: By itself you would be correct in your interpretation of the word "loaded", and the term "Locked & Loaded" is definitively a gun reference.  --Bear Eagleson 12:40, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I checked the game just to make sure. Thunderbrand 01:17, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sorry if this is off-topic.. 

message: It sounds totally juvenile and is way too lengthy for an article on a video game. No one cares that much about the plot of a Ratchet and Clank game. Someone who has played the game in its entirety probably needs to go over it and cut out some unnecessary items. 170.61.20.229 17:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm gonna fix it. I just played the game, anyway... I'm also gonne rename the section "Story Synopsis", for emphasis on "Keep the story section short please". Going to fix next half later. Abby724 17:09, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: The Story section

message: I know there are a bunch of things that need to be worked on in this article and one of them probably being references but before go off and get references for the story section I want to get an opinion on it so I'm going to put it in for assessment and see what comes out of it.

replies: text:  Got rid of the currency paragraph and most of the vid comic but added a sentence making a the point that it is an integral part of the single player game. Crimsonfox 22:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Shortened the story to a more managable size. Working on the references. Crimsonfox 19:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

text:  References done. Crimsonfox 16:44, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

text:  Well, kind of done. So far, it's all I've been able to find. From what I've seen there hasn't been any major controversy or any particularly notable news apart from stuff already mentioned. Crimsonfox 20:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

text:  I'm going to put it in for a peer review now and nom it for GA and see what response comes out of it. Crimsonfox 20:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Assessment 

message: *Single Player gameplay too long. Should be 2/3 of the current size maximum. I would advise deleting minigames and currency paragraphs.

thread_title:  [[WP:VG]] Assessment 

message: I've read your article, and I think that while it is certainly GA material, there's a few little errors in the grammar that are making me hesitant about it. I've spotted several typos in the article, and some of the sentences in the Gameplay section could probably be broken up into two smaller ones. Otherwise though, this is definitely a GA.
:*Unless you are going to fix them yourself, could you please point out the grammar/typo errors so that they can be fixed quicker please and make this a clean transition to GA. Thanks. Crimsonfox 00:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: * Since my understanding of the GA process is that the assessor can't have edited the article, I'll post the items in question.
*Multiplayer features a three different modes of play each available on all of the maps and has a selection of the unique weapons from the main, single player, game. ((Should be "features three", not "features a three"))
*Despite straying further from the genre of a classic platform game, Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal still offers some of the basic features of a game from that genre but with a strong mix of action and shooting, PGNx Media has dubbed it a “Combat-platformer”. ((The stuff after the last comma should be a seperate sentance))
*Ratchet is initially armed with a wrench, his primary mêlée weapon but as the player progresses through the game, new weapons and upgrades can be obtained. ((This just reads kinda funny to me...))
*...and then another 3 after that once the game has been completed. ((should mention that the extra 3 levels of strength are availale in Challenge Mode only))
*After discovering the whereabouts of the Quark's hideout... ((I believe it's supposed to be "Qwark's Hideout", not "The Quark's Hideout"))
That's all I can think of.DocDragon 00:54, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Much appreciated and I've worked out everything you mentioned. Crimsonfox 09:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

text: You still typoed "Qwark's Hideout". Fix that and you're in. Additionally, I noticed that Qwark is repeatedly called "Quark" in the quotes section. Those should be fixed as well. DocDragon 18:47, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *Completely missed that, anyway, done. Any tips to get it up to FA standard would also be appreciated. Crimsonfox 19:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, for getting this up to FA standard, I'd say that this article could use a copyediting, and a Peer Review. I can't point out anything that's overtly wrong with the article at the moment. DocDragon 21:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA Assessment 

message: I always thought that it was the incident back at the Megacorp test room in Going Commando that made Quark lose his memory.

thread_title:  Emanuel 

message: I've already explained that I removed the parenthesis that elaborated on what Secret Agent Clank is, because it makes the sentence syntax stumble and readers are smart enough to surmise what Secret Agent Clank is. I'd recommend that the IP explain their rationale for adding it again as part of WP:BRD. BLUSTER⌉⌊BLASTER 12:09, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Secret Agent Clank" parenthesis 

message: My reading comprehension isn't very good at the moment, but:
I read the eight levels and stopped there, thinking wait there's only 5, then seeing 5 and thinking well maybe the 8 refers to something else entirely, then consulting the weapons FAQ on GameFAQs, and eventually figuring out, oh the 8 includes the 3 that can only be obtained after you beat the game once, which the line does eventually break down into 5 and 3 but fails to mention that the other three can only be obtained after beating the game, and thin I thought, does this stuff belong in this section of the article? Then I went back and looked at how it kind of tries to address the fact that 1 had more platforming than 2 and 3 has much less than either 1 or 2. Also, I meleed my way through 1 and 2 but couldn't do this with 3, not even with the new melee whip weapon which is limited by "ammo", so saying that this game has melee combat just isn't as true as the others. The article also cites the manual which I understand primary sources normally shouldn't be cited, but is this true for videogames? Either way the article seems to do a lot of things in a way that shouldn't be done. Hackwrench (talk) 03:06, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
