I honestly appreciate it a lot when runners give narrative context for the games. It's fine to play a game for the gameplay alone and not care about the story but it's still nice to see when the runner cares about the game casually as well.

[@someguy7526]

He talks, very informitavely, literally the whole run

[@hellspawn3200]

i played jak 2 with no memory card, played it for a few hours, then left it on overnight then kept playing the next morning, got all the way to the final boss, and it crashed :P

[@75qu0]

OH NO! Poor thing! xD

[@someguy7526]

Easily the saddest of the Top 10 Saddest Anime moments :( ;(

[@Jaklegacy1]

This is a no hover zone!

[@rynagon_]

Jesus, Jak II took me about a week to beat, and this guy beat it in an hour! Good job man! And the mission with the three guys and all the metal heads can suck it.

[@perplexityvideo]

The commentary is outstanding

[@SickyNar]

Thank you :)

[@richardchicken923]

@@SickyNar im late but how do you not insta lose focus and fuck up when commentating? its wondrous

[@apexpredator9021]

Sickynar really great run. I wish the crowd could be more appreciative of the work put in instead of being mute zombies

[@rockjaw147]

Such a good run. Trick execution, rng, and commentary were all excellent!

[@diegeigergarnele7975]

We will never know which was the runner's choice

[@BlueSparxLPs]

As awesome as bonesaw was, I don't get why everyone is making this about him. This run, imo, was equally entertaining for different reasons. This run was great at showing off the strats and explaining how things work, while bonesaw's had great overall comedic commentary. Both great viewing experiences in their own right, but one shouldn't be dragged down because of the other.

[@KoolAidMaster100]

Gotta appreciate the consistency of getting each strat on point. Best run ive seen.

[@BoomerStreams]

What a great run. I'm so proud of Sickynar!

[@DyranLK]

That was some consistently engaging sh*t. Informative, crisp, and breezy... didn't feel like an hour and two!

[@gamesystem540]

This run is the reason why I love watching SGDQ speedruns more than anything

[@JasonTopo]

I miss this game so much. Gotta find my PS2 again.

[@mrratchet]

33:43 - I KNEW IT. This happened to me the first time I played Jak 2, I was so close to winning, had a good lead and then suddenly watched Erol on the minimap drive straight through a building to get behind me again. One of the few missions I spent far too much time on. This is a great speedrun and I've actually learned a lot about Jak 2 thanks to it. The 3 spiderbot attacks on the resistance HQ, which game me difficulty i did not realise they would not cause damage if you were under them, should make the mission easier on my current playthrough!

[@zaperzero]

Still leaving a like because the run is good, but RIP bonesaw. #ThanksAirCanada

[@kittentryingtostartayoutub262]

Awesome game, I love how many people consider this a favorite game from their childhood

[@dangrogan1311]

I never actually beat the final boss the intended way because me and my friends found out that you can get back up on the cliff and he can't hurt you ;) Love the game, loved the runner and loved the run!

[@dangerjoe8911]

I miss the old baron.

[@juste.une.mouche]

oh my god i played this game so much as a kid

[@fampol5900]

Incredible gameplay! I rememberJak II from 2003 as very difficult, compared with Jak I. Good video!

[@320speed]

44:09 one of the best missions in the game, shame we couldn't see him complete that mission properly

[@yrussq]

It's one of those games that actually so good that speedrunning it, is not a victory, it's a failure.

[@ebtrax4081]

This is a really entertaining run, wish I was this good at the game

[@wyatttilley7849]

Jak II has gotta be the longest game.

[@DisDatK9]

Wyatt Tilley lol could you imagine a 100% run? It’d be like at least 18 hours long.

[@Alberto_Yo]

DatK9 Jak 2 100% wr is 3:57:51

[@justarandomlad3756]

@@Alberto_Yo Holy Shit, as a child I spent at least 20+ hours on the first playthrough :D

[@someguy7526]

Jak 2 is also by far the hardest, casual especially and also for speedruns

[@JakeHennett]

I thought I broke Jak II by getting infinite orbs to unlock unlimited ammo and health. Clearly, I was mistaken.

[@Shades_]

Jake Hennett how did you get infinite orbs?

[@befrnigel]

there's a glitch with the statues who gives you time to get them, it's really easy to do :)

[@flutteranmaster4032]

Playing hero mode on Jak 2 feels amazing af

[@56bturn]

Until you get to the Destroy Ship at Drill Platform mission. Fuck that mission, and everyone at Naughty Dog that didn't consider making some concessions for that mission.

[@flutteranmaster4032]

Gaden Kerensky I always skip that mission,I also use dark Jak to damage erol's zomer to make him slower lol

[@Cinema_Zerkalo]

Wait, how can you skip the mission?

[@finnfinity9711]

Pedofilio Cñerinson haha nice, i also used to do that :D

[@eyecontrol4900]

Cinema Zerkalo mars tomb skip

[@warsilver99]

Really excellent run!

[@fpcooper95]

This is WILD

[@320speed]

That was actually pretty sick

[@TheDaxter11]

14:10 that things a spider egg? i just thought a huge spider crushed the boulder to get past and chase you

[@Kalan.93]

I played jak 2 as a Kid and then i played it on the ps3 at the hd trilogy but it i never finished it .. shame on me

[@jonathancolburn373]

it took me 2 years to beat this game i quit a lot

[@mattia890]

YAY a speedrun of Naruto and pikachu 2,even in english :D

[@TheDaxter11]

i came here wanting to see how hed get past that bullshit mission in the water area where you have to get past all these guards, you cant go into the water and skip it, theres no vehicles or anything, only for him to skip 60% of the game, now im here to see how he doe sin wack-a-mole

[@conorhouston3471]

So I've only recently played Jak 2 after seeing the series on psn and damn that game has been a pain, wish I knew I could have skipped 60% of the game because the mission having to escaping the water area while all the guards are trying to kill you was horrendous especially since falling in the water got you killed.

[@richterman3962]

I managed to skip that mission actually, just hoverboafd all the way

[@xTVaser]

Nice run bonesaw.

[@SteamPaladin]

50:50 i've never seen that before

[@jamil5615]

Oy Vey

[@richterman3962]

20:32 the inky mission I had issues with you skipped wtf. I always thought the tram csr was easy compared to it

[@PunchyAirplane]

Gah! Im so excited to play this on the ps4

[@MikeBSc]

Jak and Daxter collection on playstation network. It's a bundle with the first three games and Jak X: Combat Racing.

[@XaneMyers]

36:40 interesting, this area is fully loaded minus objects...I would expect the game to completely unload it whe one of those loading doors is used.

[@SickyNar]

Xane Myers From what I understand, the game loads areas in stages, or "heaps". The overworld heap is stored and triggered preemptively to the other parts (people, cars, music, etc.). Manipulating the camera to dodge specific triggers will let you avoid loading certain parts of the game.

[@eddierios831]

Is this the ps2 or ps3 version?

[@SickyNar]

This was the PS2 version.

[@hajinka98_]

imagine if the game crashed at the final boss lmao

why have a couch crew if you never let them speak?

[@GhostKumo]

barduk4 People want a close up view of the run. full couch can be for just support.

[@Cranson92]

It wasn't that he didn't let us speak. He probably knew more about the run than the 3 of us combined, since none of us actively run the game. We were there to point out stuff he forgot to explain, (in my case) ask questions, and just generally be there for support. I think we all just thought he was doing such a good job with the commentary that we didn't want to interrupt him.

@@Cranson92 You did well, cransoon. We appreciate you.
