Sequels better than the original

Sequels better than the original

...

...

I sure hope you're not trying to say that any Jak game past the first one was good.

...

...

better level design, better bosses, better everything.

Whats the best way to play the Jax and Daxter series now? Is the HD PS2 Collection any good or does it emulate well?

Pic unrelated, but 3 was the GOAT.

Naughty Dog died for me long before they made Uncharted

episode 2 is the only true pso2

Bet you loved DMC 2

OPs that are faggots

I'd say they were decent, but they really ruined the formula they had by adding guns.

The HD collection is OK, but there's no point playing more than the first game.

Don't listen to this faggot,. Play and enjoy all of them

Is HD version or emulate?

I never take anyones opinion seriously when they say they prefer jak 2/3 over 1

From what I hear, they emulate fairly well, but the HD versions are just fine on PS3 and broken on Vita

...

Word thanks man.
Never appreciated Jak 2 or 3 as a teen but I want to try 'em again.

>STRIPPED IT OF ITS HUMOUR

>Pic unrelated

Jak 2 had far less humour, proportionately, than J&D - and it was by and large more cynical and snarky in tone.

...

No it didn't. I played it a long time ago, but even in the most desperate situations Darxter was still cracking jokes. Or that time the explosion happened in the Fort and Jak hjit his balls on that shop stall. Or when the tower collapsed and Daxter hit his balls on the wire. Or that time Daxter hit on Ashline. Jak 2 is pretty much a laugh a mission.

...

The only real difference is that Daxter won't go in your face every time you die.

this

Nah, Jak 1 and 2 are equally comedic.

That said, I found neither of them funny. And the immense cynicism in the second game made the world far less enjoyable.

No.
Just, fucking no. If i have to dig the sidequest to actually get enjoyment and satisfaction (or hell, anything but angst/characters being dicks to each other and the player) from a game, there's clearly something wrong with it. This shit didn't happened with the first Xillia.

Jak 2 and 3 are just edgy, not as good Ratchet and Clank games. Jak 1 isn't even that spectacular of a platformer either.

I only played the trilogy on the HD release though, so if anyone's nostalgia knows something I don't- please tell me why I'm wrong.

>Jak 1 isn't even that spectacular of a platformer either.
I disagree, Jak 1 was pretty great. It was Crash Bandicoot, except now instead of everything being linear as fuck you've got a completely open world with no load times or anything.

...

...

fuck off

2>1>3

why is this guy dressed like twoface

how does that shirt even work, like is it just half a shirt that just happens to be symmetrical with his nanomachine half or does the shirt also use nanomachines

why isn't the tie or his pants in half like the shirt though

>CRINGINGLY EDGY

Nothing was edgy about jak 2

Are you for real?

They're called episodes user meaning all the episodes are PSO as a whole. Though Xenoblade X is the true PSO2

Jak 3 was the best game in the series. I played through it probably like 8 times. It's simply perfect.

Are you? If you think Jak 2 is edgy I'm not sure how you can think anything isn't.

user do you even remember the first thing Jak said in 2? Do you even know how that game was developed?

The game was so bad to begin with I gave up before I reached any of the good levels.

It's far from perfect.

It's lightyears better than 2

>get tortured for years
>it's somehow edgy to want revenge

yeah okay, spic.

Did you actually enjoy riding buggies for half the game?

Do you remember how the scene turned out to be later? Context, nigger.

Name more edgy things in Jak II

It's edgy to have your protagonist endure years of torture, yes.

Being edgy on purpose is still being edgy. The set-up for it was no less hamfisted.

was it also edgy when literally 1 mission later he was making jokes with daxter?

It was edgy when he spent the entire rest of the game scowling at people or shooting cops.

Did you actually play the game? Because he stopped being angry ONE MISSION LATER!

You mean when he met Torn, the guy who talked shit at you for the whole game in the most cringeworthy "What a 12 year old thinks a cool tough guy looks like" fashion?

...

...

>Jak literally has a psychotic alternate persona fueled by Dark Eco, the fucking EVIL TOXIC SUBSTANCE that corrupted the villains of the first game
>Takes place in a brutal police state in a post-apocalyptic future where no other major human settlement is said to exist (until 3, anyway)
>Jak literally got tortured for two years straight and the devs gave him a goatee to signify his new bad boy personality
>A sizeable segment of the map is built on the ruins of your old hometown
>Everything to do with the Metalheads and the dying world narrative
>Violent smuggler and mob boss is a core ally

And then there's the things that are edgy when compared to J&D
>Guns guns and more guns
>Aesthetically based on fucking Mad Max of all things
>Your main enemy are the totalitarian police and twisted demonic creatures from another dimension
>Generally more dark and sarcastic humour aimed at a teenage audience instead of a family one

Pic not related.

MGS2 played worse than MGS1.
I guess you could call it intentional with the whole theme of misdirection but I came away from the game feeling like I wasted my money.

>>Aesthetically based on fucking Mad Max of all things
hahaha what? It's orwellian distopia if anything.

I can see why someone would say Jak 3 is Mad Max, even though that's wrong.
Jak 2? That's such a dumb statement.

Remember when you could safely state Jak 2 was a shit game and everyone would agree with you before all the underage mouthbreathers who actually played it grew up and got old enough to post on Sup Forums? We truly are on neo-Sup Forums

The thing is, I actually did play it when I was young.
And I didn't have the first game.
And it's still shit.

Mad Max is more than just deserts and cars m8s.

The clothing, the styling of the dilapidated urban setting, fuck even a lot of the tech in the rundown shithole part of Haven are reminiscent of MM1.

Say what you will about the actual content of the game but mgs2 has mechanics and controls lightyears ahead of mgs1 and the hardest guards in the series

The game really comes together during the vr missions in the re release

win was that never

But they were all good.

this

I might need to give the VR missions a shot then.

...

>stripped it of its humor and color palette
Factually wrong.

>made it with segmented -level based game
Original was literally segmented in areas, except you had to ride through hazard zones to go between the two or use the teleporters.

>poorly executed driving segments
Subjective, the driving wasn't entirely terrible.

>shitty minigames
Also subjective.

>Cringingly edgy
Whew boy, this meme.

>no hips, ass, or breasts

Inaccurate tbqh

Remember when memesters like this nigger weren't a diamond doxin?

my bad

>Spouting 'edgy' meme every time jak2 is mentioned like a faggot
>Not being Underage

Pick one, homo

>visible panty waistbands

Keira is muh fucken waifu for laifu

I used to pause with the select button and fap.

Too bad they ruined her in jak x

How so? She at least got to fucking talk again instead of being silent like she was the scared spouse in a domestic abuse story every scene she appeared throughout Jak 3.

Now Lost Frontier... god they fucking destroyed everything good about her.

My first actual crush. I used to roleplay Jak and Daxter at school with a girl at elementary school and she'd be Kiera. I wonder what she's up to now?

this

Well i seem to remember her voice changed and it sounded worse. wasn't it the voice actor from rugrats or something distracting?

And here's a perfect example
Just something about the face was off-putting.

>he didn't pursue

YOU FOOL!!!!!

I believe it was Tara Strong, and she was ok, just not as good as the original, who was Palmon from Digimon. Still, better she got a voice again instead of being silent for no reason.

They grew up with the PS2 as kids, what did you expect? It's same as the autist who grew up with Sonic 2006 and thought that was a good game.

>if someone grew up with something, it's a bad thing

Get a load of this nigger.

Jak II > Jak 1 > Jak 3
Faggot

...

My younger self was not ready for the amount of titties and midriff in these games

The lead artist knew how to make some hot babes. Even before the series took off the kiddie gloves.

Well, I was only 9-11.

...

...

Do you still live near where she did? Can you recall her name? SEEK HER OUT, user! IT MIGHT NOT BE TOO LATE!

...

...

Much better

I don't know. Its too late now anyway. She was middel class and a normie and I'm so autistic I became a borderline tranny. During highschool I lost contact with her because our school was 55% not white, and to fit in I tried to be ghetto. I failed misreably andstarted skipping school and reverting back to myold love of boats, sea creatures and geology. By the last 2 years of school, I was skipping virtually every class with some wierd guy I didn't like and at the age of 18 got the compulsion to be a tranny. My soul is irredeemaqble and I've accepted that now. She probably does still live in Manchester, but I'm a different person and I don't even know if I like her anymore.

sequel to what? It certainly wasn't better than Heretic.
