Thread: Lord Vorselon

Is it just me, or do other people feel bad for Vorselon because he was killed off in the end and had little screen time. In my greatest opinion, Vorselon was the best villain since Dr. Nefarious, and Insomniac should have gave him a little more in ACiT. I am glad, however, Vorselon was given the honor of being fought three times, but really, doesn't everything think Insomniac should kill off less baddies, I mean, baddies in the R&C series are not just like, "i'm going to kick your ass" and piss you off and make you to kill them, like in the Uncharted series, Insomniac make their villains loveable, well not all, but most and make you feel bad when they die. Remember when we all thought Nefarious died and went into uber fan rage, thats what I mean. As for the Terraklon, I really think if he wasn't dead, he would have been the perfect succesor to Nefarious in ACiT. Sometimes I think he may not have died and come up with the "maybe he warped his head out and placed a decoy" idea, but anyway, Poor guy, I guess he'll never get the love he always wanted

I believe this topic should be in the A Crack in Time section rather than in the General Discussions. It would just fit better in that section since Vorselon was in ACIT.

We had many discussions about Vorselon having less screentime and such in the game. Most of us were pretty disappointed of how he was handled and treated in A Crack in Time, which made us wanted to know this villain a bit more.

But you know, I think Vorselon's screentime appearance didn't bugged me too much because I think having him appearing less in the scenes or in gameplay is what makes this character a great villain. Usually any villain that appears so little or don't appear at all brings a bigger impact on the character, and if Vorselon hogged all the screentime like Nefarious did, he probably would of been a bit annoying to some viewers.

But I think the only reason why many fans are outraged by Vorselon is because how Insomniac handled him in the game. He randomly came out of nowhere in the first cutscene, his story wasn't well executed and was all over the place. Some people wanted to know Vorselon's back story like Tachyon in TOD for example, but all the fans got was little information from this character and it surely wasn't enough to please them. It was just like some of the supporting cast in Deadlocked, which those characters had little or even no back story what-so-ever.

Sure Vorselon might be dead now, but I'm sure he might be mentioned or make a back story cameo one day in a later Ratchet game or even in the upcoming comic book. If Tachyon could make a cameo in A Crack in Time, then surely Vorselon could appear in a cameo one day too.

Moved the topic to the Crack in Time board (Since he only appeared in that game, though had a mention in ToD…

But yeah, like many agree I also agree. He didn't have enough backstory, besides the info on him being at Zordoom Prison, then escaping… losing his body on Zaurik after a war with the Drophyds, etc.

It's just like Tipsy said, he didn't get introduced properly and had little to almost no back-story as well, like most of the characters introduced in Deadlocked (All the Exterminators had a little bit revealed but Ace had nothing at all in the game besides "I remember him as a kid, he disappeared years ago!" if it weren't for that Prima Strategy guide, he would have had no back-story at all.

It's the same problem with Vorselon, his back-story is all over the place and only in fragments. But it's good he at least had 3 bossfights, not many other villains in the series got that privilege, as you said. But he was a great villain while he lasted

I know I'm a perfectionist, but Insomniac didn't make Uncharted, Naughty Dog did, Insomniac made Resistance, don't worry though, it seems to be a frequent mistake…

That's true. He's basically one of the first villains that got more than one boss fight in a Ratchet game compared to other villains from the series. And just for that, I will give Insomniac a thumbs up for adding that in A Crack in Time.

I am very glad Insomniac Games indeed at least gave Vorselon three boss fights. We must not forget the ther two villains that were in three boss fights, like the Thug Leader in Going Commando and Dr. Nefarious in Up Your Arsenal.

Yeah, you're right. The Thug Leader did had 3 boss fights in Going Commando, but I don't remember Nefarious having 3 boss fights in UYA… unless if you count that boss fight in Chapter 4 of the Qwark-Vid Comics.

So I guess Vorselon is the second or third Ratchet and Clank villain that had 3 boss fights.

First off, Tipsy I love your avatar lol

Back on topic: I do agree that Vorselon was underused or not used in the way he could have been. He's an pretty badass yet humorist villain with his own little quirks. He's like Nefarious in the sense of him being over-the-top and with a lot of personally, but in different ways. Also thought he had an interesting backstory, but besides for little bits and pieces, we didn't get much besides 'he was a great assassin' or 'he lost his body on said planet,' which is a shame being he had potential and thought it would be nice to learn about about the character.

Though I can't say I'm not annoyed that he's dead, just wish he got more character development and screentime. Though speaking of Vorselon, besides for Nefarious, none of the villains got any screentime. Vorselon we really only saw very beginning, mid game and as the final boss. Not much time for devopment at all

(also would have loved to see more Nefarious/Vorselon loonny-ness, it was quiet entertaining yet nice change of pace having Nefarious pick on someone other than being the one being picked on, let alone a badass, brutal character that could easliy beat the snot out of him such as Vor)

And the Vals, also an interesting idea but wasted and underused, more so than Vorselon. Also Cassy, she just bored me because she had no personally and just was kind of annoying. I guess they were there just because 'we need characters with boobs' but as I said it before: Too many things going on, or in this case, too many characters in a story can make everything a mess. Grated, CiT wasn't as bad as ToD when it came too having so many plot points all around (it really just focused on finding Clank this time around, which you either loved or hated due to everything else ToD bought with it).

But in CiTs case, there were a bit too many characters or just not enough time to focus on them all. All the Good Guys got development thank god, but the villains didn't at all. ToD had a lot of it with Tachyon (who is still the best villain in the series in my view, though I still like Nefarious more when it comes to the character himself), and the Space Pirates got a little but not a whole lot, but at least had Presonally.

What did CiT give? More just Nefarious being…erm Nefarious and the new villains such as the Vals were underplayed big time and were just boring being they had no personally. And Vorselon, he just had too little screen-time and his backstory was a little all over the place and really didn't go into depth.

Alright, I think I ranted enough for one day. So move along little creatures.

You said everything for me.

…did you seriously copy and pasted my post from the IG forums?

Yes. It shows that you said the words out of my mouth XD. It says it was your message, anyway.

I don't think that was a good move, Neffy. Copying other peoples posts just seems a bit lazy if you ask me, but if you really want to then I think you should ask next time before you do, just to avoid any conflicts

Well, I did put the "This was this persons message" thing there, but sorry if I still did any harm. I deleted it a wrote a new one anyway. I used SweeT's first message. BTW, nice Vox avatar, I always had a feeling Vox was a pervert XD.

No problem, though you could use the 'quote' tags next time, like this…

This is the copied message 8D

And then yeah, it'll look better for your posts and lol yeah, I thought the screenshot was funny, so I added that text… XD

That still doesn't change anything! I don't care if you like my quote, never do that crap again!
