Bad Game Design, Boring Video - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart #9
I wasn't sure if I wanted to even upload this video, since I waste a lot of time trying to figure things out.
I take Rivet back to the swamp planet to help out with Mort's pet.
However, there are a few problems with this challenge.:
- The hints of what to do with the creature that I'm riding go by so fast that I can't absorb them, so I wonder if there are any options I missed. I try every button, but I can only slow or speed up the beast. Nothing else works.
- Some of the plants to collect are on top of towers, and I waste time trying to figure out how to get to them - do I jump off the creature at the right time (and are their controls for that?), can I sweep past them with the creature to collect them, or do I figure out how to climb the towers? As I find out in the next video, I don't need to do any of those things. Maybe if I had played prior Ratchet and Clank games, I would have known what was happening, but this is my first one, so I was really lost here. I thought the game was beckoning for me to do something at the right time, and I didn't know that I had no options. It really gave me a headache.
- It took me a while to figure out that I have to land on the nests to hop off the creature. It isn't like a mount in Horizon Zero Dawn where I can hop off whenever I like.
I got so frustrated with the task, that I quit the game and looked up a longplay to see what I needed to do. Once I figured that out, I played more and finished it.
I also looped around in a pocket 3 times because I couldn't find a real goal to it.
