>I'm gonna rip Praxis' heart out and throw it at the nearest orphan I see

He went from being this mute, young, fun individual to this tough edgelord. It's toned down in 3 though.
>>
>>344012834
man imprisons you, tortures you and experiments on you with some toxic goo that kills most everything.

Would you not be a little mad?
>>
>>344012932
Sure, but not like he was.
>>
>>344012932
Nah cuz i'm not an edgy little faggot
>>
>>344013026
How do you know, have you been tortured on?

This

Only a beta sjw faggot wouldn't want to kill praxis in jaks situation

why
I just want to platform, stop throwing guns in every single game

>>344012834
Still a great game and, in my opinion, the best in the series. Possibly one of my top 5 games all time. Also something that's not really often appreciated about it is that it's pretty hard for a "casual" game, really nice to have a bit of challenge in there. Extra challenging if you play it like DSP

>2 the best one

This formula is in a lot of games.
Take PoP
1) Fun loving, care free, adventure
2) Literal edgelord, YOU BITCH!
3) Back to roots, more fun and down to Earth
Or DMC
1) Cool, slick guy
2) Edgy, quiet, 2dark4u
3) Prequel Dante back to being fun and slick with the banter.

1=2>the PSP Daxter spin-off game>3. Lost Frontier never happened.

1 is a fantastic collecathon, 2 is very different but I really like the story and there's still a bunch of great platforming levels outside the hub-city.

3 is just an easier, worse version of 2. The story makes no sense, the guns they give you are so overpowered there's no Challange at all (you don't even need to face the right direction, just spam r1 with the richocchette gun) and the platforming:other shit ratio is skewed way past the acceptable limit (which Jak 2 was teetering on in my opinion).

Jak 3 could have been great if instead of haven city returning, they made the desert bigger/added more locations, had the same platforming:driving ratio as Jak 2 (keep desert cars, remove City) and wrote a story that actually answered the questions remaining after 2, instead of adding a whole bunch of new things and pretending they were important the whole time.

Why do people always act like this is some kind of grimdark edgy line?

Wasn't it literally played for laughs in game? The whole thing was comedic
>>
>>344012932
I'd wanna kill praxis
>>
>>344012834
So it's morally edgy to have instincts now?

If we don't have the ability to kill, or die, we'd be a blob of flesh the size of everything.

3 > 1 = 2 > fat ogre shit > Lost Frontier

Why people shit on 3 when it has the best weapons, environments and missions variety is beyond me.
>>
>>344012834
its a miracle he wasn't worse and eventually he mellowed out
>>
>>344017897
Sort of, yeah. Daxter pretty much goes "woah, remind me not to piss you off." and I think he references it later by pointing out Jak is kind of acting like an irrational prick.

Oh sure anon, you'd be a totally stoic badass.

Because the PS2 hardware is a clusterfuck whereas the Gamecube is simple

>>344022365

Neither of you tards know what 'edgy' means.

Stop using words you don't know the meaning of.
>>
>>344022543

>Take main character from kids game

It's edgier than Shadow the Hedgehog.

>ps2 emulator shit
>xbox emulator aint gonna happen

i'm actually kinda happy i'm gonna have to buy a ps2 and an xbox at some point to actually enjoy these games. I refuse to play jak and daxter with those black soulless eyes and fucked up shadows
>>
>>344023237

The PS3 collection is fine you know.
>>
>>344023293
but can I play dark cloud on a PS3?

and how am I ever gonna be able to play whacked again? its a fucking amazing game and its an xbox exclusive

And don't forget dying after 3-4 hits, with no useful i-frames.
>>
>>344024985
I mean c'mon, you have 8 things of health, so you shouldn't have stuff that deals 2 units of damage at the beginning of the game.
>>
>>344025336
>>344024985
In Jak 1 everything deals 1 damage and you can only have 4 health. Same thing
>>
>>344018601
>best environments
>sand
>repeated city

Delete this
>>
>>344025872
But when it's a sequel, you usually change how the health decreases.

In Jak 3
>driving sucks
>Desert sucks
>whute echo sucks
>story sucks
>Ostels other than daxter suck
>kiras voice actor sucks
>Way way too easy

I dont know why people like three. It has no challenge, its easier than one. Total casual jak and dax. Two was the best
>>
The only thing that really bothered me about Jak 3 was the reveal of Jak being Mar.

>>344012834
1>2=Daxter>3
>>
>>344012932
it's just edgy tryhard writing all around
>>
>>344025986
Going back to haven city was pretty cool, the city in the sand was cool, roaming around the desert was great and precursor temples were also good.
>>
How is the jak series emulated?
>>
>>344026127
for what purpose?
>>
>>344028064
doesn't work unfortunately. textures on everything are warped. ps2 emulation sucks in general
>>
>>344028267
Figures. I tried ratchet and clank and it looked like garbage
>>
Jak 2 is the biggest abomination in gaming.

>Hey guys we have this charming and lighthearted platformer that's praised for it's superior level design and presentation, what should we do for the sequel
GUNS
CARJACKINGS
SWEARING
ORGANIZED CRIME
SEXY WOMEN
EDGY WRITING
TIME TRAVEL
>Fucking brilliant, lets do it
>>
>>344024550
Really? That was one of the stand out moments of the game for me.

I used to do impressions of that guy when me and my younger brother were kids.
>>
1 was fun
2 was fun
3 was fun

Does anything else matter?
>>
>>344028457

all 3 jak games are great for different reasons.
>>
>>344028457
sounds pretty cool tbqh
>>
>>344013780
I quit 2 when I got to that boss in the attack chopper. Played 3 for a couple hours and quit when it got too hard, as well.
>>
>>344028543

2 and 3 weren't as much fun as 1, which matters
>>
>>344029326
2 is my favorite jak game I'm sorry dawg
>>
>watch DSP playthrough of jak 2
>made me realize the kind of people that hate this game are the ones who fucking suck at it
>people saying the game is bad "cuz edgy xD"

Admit it, you're fucking garbage at this game
>>
>>344030681

The game doesn't suck because it's hard. It's a mascot platformer, the genre as a whole is pretty easy. It sucks because it's badly made.
>>
>>344031515
Hi DSP, how's the gout?
>>
There is a clear difference between trying to be edgy and being murderously furious about the years of torture you have been subjected to.
>>
>>344034017

Why would you as a writer open your game with years of torture on the main character out of nowhere?

In the sequel to a kids game that's pretty fucking edgy.
>>
>>344034945
My two little brothers, who are 6 and 8yrs old, loves jak 2 and 3, and when their friends come to visit they play those. I guess they're not as sensible little faggots like you are who takes games seriously. Go play with barbies if you get triggered easily with the word "kill" and faint when you see a laser rifles.
>>
>>344012834
>He went from being this mute, young, fun individual to this tough edgelord

Isn't that the point though? The dark eco made him into that purple psychopath.
>>
>>344036174

nice strawman. Just accept that the game is edgy. I did and I enjoyed it.

It's edgy as hell, it's edgier than Shadow the Hedgehog. Deal with it.

>it's edgy
Yeah, but it wears off after 20 minutes in the game
>>
>>344038028

You're right, Jak gets more relaxed as the game progresses
>>
First game was a decent platformer with simple story.

Second one brought some good improvements like the guns, but the open world screamed of "we want the kids whose parents won't let them play GTA audience" and was very underutilized. There was nothing to do in it apart from the repetitive orb challenges. The platforming was still good and aside from some edginess the story was also actually pretty good.

Third game's desert also suffered from the same shit as the second game's open world city, but greatly improved the arsenal and amount of special abilities. Also putting Keira on a buss in favor of Ashelin despite the latter being paired with Torn, seriously what the fuck Naughty Dog?
>>
>>344038146

The guns in 2 were not fun to use. 3 also had problems but at least there was variety.
