This game is needlessly obnoxious in it's difficulty

This game is needlessly obnoxious in it's difficulty.

Seriously why did the developers change the entire formula from the first Jak and Daxter game? Especially when they clearly wernt skilled at crafting the driving/combat segments

get good

unironically this. this whole "jak 2 is hard" is a meme. its literally just spin jump + shoot with the yellow gun

Be patient and take your time and the game really isn't too bad for the most part. The only truly difficult mission is fighting through the guards in the slums.

Because GTA3 was popular and they wanted in on that money train. Naughty Dog only copies what is popular at the time, and it breeds a retarded fanbase who can't see the feces pile placed in front of them like couldn't.

Jak & Daxter is a masterpiece. Jak II is an abortion.

are you retarded? i told him how easy the game is how the fuck is that praising it?

>just cope with the shitty controls bro janky vehicle segments around a hornet's nest of a city get good br0 xd

kek get good you fucking pansy. this game was made for fucking CHILDREN. how does it feel that you struggle to play a literal baby game?

>That sewer escort mission
I hate this game so fucking much. GTA for retards but occasionally you need to be autistic to get through something. Great.

This one isn't that bad either, it's just tedious. I think most people try to rush through that part but if you take the guards out one group at a time with the blaster you can easily do it without taking any damage.

I recall 100% completion being enough of a bitch that I didn't bother around the time the game came out, but it was definitely nowhere near obnoxiously hard.

The changes in gameplay and tone are definitely divisive, but to say they changed the entire formula is a bit misleading. They added a huge hubworld and expanded Jak's moveset to become even more combat oriented, but the roots of the first game are definitely still there.

But if anything WASN'T fucked, it was the difficulty. Actually, unironically just get good at the game. It isn't hard, it just requires you to actually learn when and how to press a few buttons.

This was my favorite game as a kid and it was hard but so much fun. Never beat it though it’s pretty hard

this artstyle sucks

>This game is needlessly obnoxious in it's difficulty.
git gud faggot it isn't that fucking hard

It says it’s made for teens loser

hey retard, kids eat this shit up because they think it makes them look cool and adult

>That sewer escort mission
when I was 13 I thought that shit was hard but I recently played the HD re release and wondered what all the fuss was about
now that fucking ore dust delivery mission on that fucking bike
fuck that shit

the game isn't really difficult, it just have the shittiest gunplay ever made.
J&D is a great platformer, Jak II is a shitty TPS, Jak 3 is an even shittier collection of mini-games.

>This game is needlessly obnoxious in it's difficulty.
It's not, people who find this game difficult are actually retarded. I never had a problem with it as a kid, even my younger sister played through it a couple years ago while she was grounded since she didn't have anything better to do and didn't have any trouble with it either. If you think Jak 2 is difficult you really suck at video games and if it's your main hobby you seriously need to git gud.

Did this difficulty meme start up after the remasters came out? I'm curious since it seems like a relatively new thing.

I feel like the game starts off being really enjoyable but just gets worse as you go. By the time I actually beat game I had no desire to play Jak 3 because of how much the design choices in II were handled.
Still haven’t played it till this day.

But the controls are legitimately fine. Just don't speed round corners.

>Did this difficulty meme start up after the remasters came out?
it was way before that

People didn't talk about shitty games like Jak II before the remasters. Explains why you never heard anything.

what does Jak wanted to do to Praxis? I forgot

tess

were you playing the vita version? the game running at 15-20fps for the majority of the game made it pretty bullshit

Nah. The games always been known as hard. I actually thought it was hard as well until replaying it on PS4.

jak 1 is great but 2 and 3 are wasted potential. i honestly think uncharted is a better series than jak.

That's not getting good, thats just abusing a mechanic.

fucking kill him, I think

>tfw finding out you can see Maya's asscrack in the model viewer
my first fap

>my first fap
really? you didnt have internet at that point?

>NG+ on the railed gun mission
The fucking recoil the CG had was fucking ridiculous. Only part I had problems with.

Side note, had a separate save for when the city was under attack and just fucked around and always tried to help the guards. Was pretty fun with the endless amounts of violence.

>tfw beat jak 3 before jak 2 because i got stuck and gave up on the wackamole minigame

jak and daxter was really boring for me since you just collect shit, I 100% the game, but it just wasn't for me, the only fun I had was the racing levels in between each main level
jak 2 was really interesting for the first few missions, then they start repeating missions, and shit gets way too hard, then you learn about spin shooting with the yellow gun and the game becomes really braindead in terms of combat, there were also a lot of dumb missions like the hoverboard levels and the turret segments
jak 3 fixed a lot of the problems i had by adding desert cars (i'm a big mad max nerd) and making it so that most of the new guns have little emphasis on aiming, but that still makes the game a little easy, but it still had stupid missions like daxter on a missle, 3 also had a turret segment that was a bit more fun, but it was still a fucking turret segment
II always loved the world and aestheticism of jak games, but the games themselves were always just shy of being great games

I was like 9 cut me some slack

She made my 10 year old penis feel strange.

Literally a GTA clone. They're lucky the game was good enough they got away with it

I WANT TO MARRY PRAXIS!

Jak II and 3 would have been great with modern third-person cover shooter controls.

>but it was definitely nowhere near obnoxiously hard.
permanently missable collectibles is pretty goddamn obnoxious

noob, also jak 3 is top games ever made
