The ship literally has the robots on board in the final game. So the ship drops off the seed and starts building a planet around it. After it makes a ball it drops off the robots who shave the details. Thats my head cannon and im sticking with it

But is it the optimal way to play Jak 3 with the refractor upgrade? Because now the blaster bolts bounce off surfaces.

Fantastic video.

I only used the spin kick move when theres just too much going on... Now in jak 3 the 2nd blaster upgrade. The ricochet mod. Makes it ROOM CLEARING in potential... And makes it the 2nd best way to just brute force a combat scenario.... Obviously the purple nuke is the best because... Reasons

You're the man, dude! Thank you so much for showing so much passion. These games meant and keep meaning so much to me!

People just suck at playing this game and they put it down because of its challenge. The game is too easy I beat like 100 times

Holy fuck that one guy is so annoying to listen to

Man, like once a year I get caught with the Jak and Dax nostalgia bug and I always go straight to your content to see if you’re still doing stuff - never disappointed 🤌🏼 Just all that to say keep up what you love and never be discouraged because your passion for something as trivial as a video game made 20 years ago is honestly such a joy to see. The Jak 1-3 saga was the highlight of my childhood whenever I gamed, I remember getting the first one right after the big clonky og PS2 came out and getting lost in the world. Truly a tragedy the story was never really expanded on much after the series. Id even read a book about that shit.

The jetboard makes the docks level way easier if you've got the coordination to pull it off.

ok so i remember jak having all of his mar armor on when he got on the ship with the precursors but when he got back he didn't have the armor on. thats what cemented the idea that jak was actually 'THE Mar' to me

The only way I see Naughty Dog returning is with Old Man Jack. No joke, no shade. I'd love to see hermit obi-wan Jak.

That hard ass mission.. I loved it as a kid. I embraced it. I feel like these type of LVls really made me good at other games

Hey man! I really appreciate this video! I picked up the HD Jak trilogy for old times sake (Nostalgia has been hitting real nasty this year and I loved this series to death) and it's great to learn this now. I used to do the jump-spin-shoot technique when I played this as a kid and I sucked ass at Jak 2. Never beat it all the way through because of it! Explaining what each gun is best for and when/how to use it has really improved my gameplay. Thanks!

Great video. I swear the reason people spam the jump-kick-shoot on the blaster is because they already played Jak 3 and picked up the habit with the beam reflexor. Most surviving footage online of Jak 2 is from platforms that were created after the Jak PS2 games were all out and they're retrospective reviews or not the person's first playthrough.

For what it's worth, you can be tactical with the Blaster Spin Shot too

i actually didn't use the jump and spin method when played jak II, i didn't even know it was a thing! I still struggled alot through this game though, was really challenging game but i also didn't know alot of this tech you talk about in this video so i'll definitely have to try it out when i play the trilogy again

I think the ending of Jak’s story should be him going back one final time as a man to just after his younger self was sent to the future, to become the hero the world would need to survive the metalhead wars and save the world.

I love the idea of encountering an ancient and genuinely wise and powerful Precursor leading the Precursors of the ancient past… only to realise later in the game it’s an ancient Daxter who went back in time, got wise, and became the protector of the timeline to ensure things happened as was needful, so that one day the future would be free

I use guns if I remember to. Most of the time everyone get gets hands big or small

I just lose my mind at how atrocious the vehicles are. Ruins the game for me

I never had trouble with any of the combat missions. it was always the racing missions. I played these games as a kid, I beat the first one, and Jak3, but I Jak2 sat uncompleted for years because I got stuck on the mission where Krew gives you 3 minutes to fly to the stadium, and younger me couldnt do it.

Game literally states Jak is thee Mar. People years later: “but is he mar? How will we ever know” The game literally says yes he is how the fuck

that zenobyte guy is annoying

Best advice I can give for the docks mission is to hop on your hoverboard and ride past everything it’s actually stupidly easy this way

Or maybe transform into... Dark Jak...

The difficult bits in the game are the races and the platform parts where if you miss time a jump you have to replay the last 4 minutes.

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT CONSIDERED OPTIMAL??! Charge attack into shooting puts your barrel right into a staggered enemy's chest.

This game needs a remaster put in more rpg mechanics more land and missions like the war before jak3

zenobyte's voice is like nails on chalkboard. just talk normally.

i know next to nothing about jak and daxter but i love its sense of humor and designs.

Starts talking about the giant robot at 27:35. Then the thing shows up at 37:40.

Thought this was all common knowledge? I never had issues with the combat since they pretty much tell you how all this works

the slow loading thing also happens in crash twinsanity

Hypothetically speaking, if we consider Lost Frontier as canon, would that make Daxter’s dark eco monster transformation Dark Maker adjacent?

Ya im not doing spin thing unless something really hard lol

The first sewer mission scared me a lot as a kid.

Jak 2 has a very complicated story, in a good way. There are lots of ambiguities, and unexpected twists and turns.

The theme in Jak 2 changes not the main theme, but the arrangement of the theme. It's impressive that it's so smooth, when it can change so randomly. It's all about what the player does.

I spent two days on this as a child..

I havent watched this video and based on the comments I can already tell this video is great. As I got older, I eventually pieced together that the best wayto play is to maximize every action posible use every gun (at the right times). Using the right guns against the right enemies or madtering the jetboard are a couple examples that makes the game more thorough and fullfilling. Once you master how to play the character you feel like a god because nothing can stop you.

I wonder if all the different sources on the time is to make all of them unreliable and still leave it up to interpretation exactly how far back in time they went while giving an approximate range

I always just used the spin shoot as a joke lol. Never thought of it as a legitimate strategy

I just replayed the trilogy. Although Jak 2 may be a little more difficult, it’s my favorite. Missions are not that difficult except for the pier mission where you fight all the crimson guards. I found a little cheat for that tho. It’s just a challenging game that makes it more worth it when you beat the game

43:12

56:00 Billy Howerdel also had QOTSA (Queens Of The Stone Age) members; Troy Van Leeuwen and Joseph Castillo contributing to the Jak X soundtrack aswell. You can kinda hear the QOTSA sound in some of the game's songs. :)

Running from the Krimzon Guard ambush on that wooden platform above the water wasn’t even that hard. It was a doozy as a kid, but pretty much a cakewalk now. Racing Errol is a different narrative.

Wait people spnishootet troughthat game ? What a waste of amo and time 😅. Anyway ... i planed to play this game again to improve my fighting skill and this video helps very much so... thank you. Btw guys do you have any tipps for the final core boss ? I lost to it many times after getting lucky enaugh to beat him. The Problem ? Swarm enemys and the Dark Shockwave or what this attack whas ???

I never spin fired at all

Honestly I still don't think that makes the game easy. To me the normal combat wasn't the hard part, it was the minigames throughout. Like the mech to destroy the tower, the turret section, the running from the giant metal head in the undercroff, etc. I really thought those sections were the brutally hard parts.

That krimzon guard raid was absolute hell. I basically had no viable strategy except to jump and shoot with the blaster (not jump-spin-shoot, just jumping to dodge unseen enemies' shots while desperately shooting at a crowd of guards) That mission was absolutely maddening. Last I played I got to the mission to shoot down some hellcats and couldn't beat it for the life of me. Driving in the game is.... Terrible, to put it nicely, and worse when you're wanted.
