This is probably the worst sequel I have ever played.Hell, if this wasn't just built off of Jak 2, it would probably be the worst game on the PS2 that isn't like obvious shovelware garbage. I have never seen a series degrade itself this hard.It's the worst case of listening to the focus tests and complaints. It is so watered down in combat that ANY strategy beyond spamming the yellow gun by spinning is not viable. All your gun upgrades are WORTHLESS aside from that, because once it starts bouncing off walls and AUTO TARGETTING ENEMIES, the game's done. It's over. I tried to play it like Jak 2, doing melee combos, but so many enemies damage you on contact.The platforming is also baffling. When it's around, it's usually bordering on non-existent, there's a bunch of flying enemies that, again, can ONLY be solved by the same jump and spin attack, and the worst part is that it's SO EASY. There's a lot of things like how the combat is just worse, the movement is worse, the driving is horrifically bad, but it's all so panderingly easy that it just becomes a bland slurry of nothing.And the worst part is, that the story is bad too. It's a 3D platformer for kids, but the story is nonsensical compared to Jak 2, the only real antagonist is just doing bad things because ???, he wanted to destroy the world because ???What the fuck happened? I read the design docs for this game and it sounded GOOD, but then they made it and it all went to shit? God, fuck Naughty Dog.
>>12164584You are 100% correct.I remember feeling the same way when I first played it. I'm afraid to touch Jak X: Combat Racing in case that game is dogshit too
You never played it zoomer, what youtuber gave you that opinion
jak looked gayer with each installment
>>12164591>You never played it zoomer, what youtuber gave you that opinion
>>12164584>>12164593UpdateBeat the game, final boss was shit.Decided to try and 100% the game, did two challenges and then the game killed itself when I got to a racing challenge (just... wouldn't start the race, couldn't actually pause because this game was designed by fucking retards), reset the game and apparently they don't autosave challenges.Cool. Awful.
>>12164591These types of posts are some of the worst on this board . Why are so many of you schizos always complaining about youtubers?
I'm playing 2 for the first time and the vehicle parts single handedly ruin the entire game, the gunplay is fucking awful too. Sounds like 3 is even worse, can't believe I thought 1 will be my least favorite but it sounds like it's clearly the best one
>>12164832>I'm playing 2 for the first time and the vehicle parts single handedly ruin the entire gameThe hover cars handle fine enough in 2. The only instances I didn't like were the side challenges, mainly the gold time race you can do in the zoomer, since pedestrian collision seems to be RNG and that can completely fuck your momentum.Most of the car stuff is easy though once you get used to it.3's issue is that it introduces four wheel cars that have pseudo-realistic traction in desert environments, all while droves of suicidal drivers try to molest you. It's far from hard, but it is so fucking annoying, especially on timed missions.> the gunplay is fucking awful tooHave you been comboing melee into using your gun? Jak will usually auto target after a punch or kick, and can get rid of multiple enemies if you do that with the blaster.
>>12164584I will never understand these mentally ill Jak haters. Just hop on your fuckin hoverboard you can access at any time and play Tony Hawk: Dark Eco Edition like you're fucking supposed to. The hell is wrong with you?
>>12164749Scapegoat + 'us vs them' sheep mentality (/vr/ is a low IQ board)
>Keira's VA fired>only brought back for a quick and soulless scene>Jak is clearly being paired up with Ashelinthis is the worst sin, worse than making most of the game about driving in the sand.
>>12164961>will never understand these mentally ill Jak haters. Just hop on your fuckin hoverboard you can access at any time and play Tony Hawk: Dark Eco Edition like you're fucking supposed to. The hell is wrong with you?Jak 3's contact damage with every enemy makes using the hoverboard a pain in the ass, especially since there's only two areas in the game without any enemies, and one of them treats every pedestrian like a Krimzon Guard (Spargus).
>>12164584I love all 3 & spinoffsCan't wait for the Jak 3 Open Goal PC port
it's not any worse than the first two, really. naughty dog just didn't make any good /vr/.
>>12165438Do you not know you can attack with your hoverboard? And that you can go super fast by landing tricks which boost you when you hit the ground? You can nosegrind like half the geometry in the games.
>>12167046I do actually, and the hoverboard attack options are woefully inadequate when the city streets throw more than little bug robots and metal heads at you.As for speed, yeah I do know. I got the gold record for hoverboarding in both 2 and 3. Again, the issue is the maps.In Jak 2, it's easy to go fast on the hoverboard because you are only dodging KGs, who are docile unless hit. That only changes at the very end of the game, and only briefly. In Jak 3, here are the only areas that aren't a fucking warzone>Spargus City (every pedestrian has KG collision)>the Haven City port areaThat's it.
>>12164584I really hated the enemies that appear while you're driving around in the desert. Really kills the mood.Light Jak was cool as hell, though.
