He was such a cutie and so expressive in the first game. Then they went full Shadow the Hedgehog and never looked back. Why did they ruin him so badly?

The entire industry changed overnight in response to GTA III. Both this and Sly's sequel was heavily influenced by the game, Sly arguably for the better.

So GTA 3 was dark and edgy and did well, so everyone except Japan felt they needed to ape the dark and edgy part because obviously that was why GTA 3 did well?

Fuck Western developers.

>People who never actually played Jak II still claim he was edgy

did you even play the game weeb

>GTA 3 was dark and edgy

Just barely. It was violent sure, but the story was pretty silly at times, especially in retrospect compared to the more recent GTAs.

It was because GTA III had open-world and was edgy, and kids started not liking games meant for themselves. Both Jak and Sly did open-world for their sequels but Jak also went the extra mile in trying to be edgier as well.

how is it edgy

Jak 2 and 3 were good, but I can see how somevfans of the original disliked the tonal shift.

Fight me faggots.
