[@Lubble-]

I suggest the WipEout series, they're on all Sony platforms

[@FrankieKnowhere]

I know how you feel, it's almost the same with me & Unreal Tournament 99. This game being my UT99 of car combat games. The voice taunts after kills, the music & even CTF & Deathmatch remind me of UT99 in subtle ways of just old school game design. I got GRIP recently & i cannnooot compare it to Jak X. I put the Jak X OST into the game to play since you can do that in the vanilla game on Steam, and even changed the controls to it & match it. Still didn't bring me close to home. No point in even trying it. If that's the high you're looking for, you're not gonna find it there, stick with Jak X. And WipEout is another love of mine, but again, very diff feel & vibe, however BallisticNG on Steam is amazing & has probably surpassed WipEout by this point for anyone interested.

[@ndalum75]

I should have mentioned this in your last Jak video, but I believe the change in love interests for Jak 3 might have been a result of voice casting issues. For whatever reason, the previous VA of Keira, Anna Garduno, did not reprise her role as Keira in Jak 3 or Jak X. She was replaced by Tara Strong, a common voice actress with literally hundreds of roles. My theory is, given how little Keira speaks in Jak 3, how she is oddly mute when first meeting with Jak while Samos talks his mouth off, that Naughty Dog didn't have a voice actor for Keira. I think Naughty Dog didn't have a voice actor for Keira until near the end of production, which necessitated the change in love interests. Remember, they only had a year to pump out Jak 3, there wasn't much time to recast Keira at all. It's possible Naughty Dog were afraid they wouldn't find a good new VA for Keira, or perhaps the former actress was stuck in pricing negotiation for a while before backing out. Regardless, Keira is too mute and too small of a figure in Jak 3 for me to believe it was all intentional. It doesn't feel like an intentional artistic decision, especially when they went back on it in Jak X. It smells of backroom issues to me.

[@dapperfan44]

It's like you read my mind. A 15 year-old-me who had just rented Jak 3 as a birthday present to himself back in 2005, thought it was weird that Keira was so silent in that scene where they're separated by the security wall. Your comment really sheds light on the switch in love interests because was questioning what happened to Torn and Ashelin.

[@dannydesperado9211]

Someone mentioned “The Fast of Us” and I refuse to live in a planet where a survival horror combat racer doesn’t exist

[@That_Handle]

🤔 Sounds like you would enjoy some Twisted Metal: Black-Online then. ⏭ Pertinent to the video, though, JakX Combat _online MP_ is available, again. 👍 Running from a PS2 here, one can connect using the following DNS at this time for NTSC-U/C and PAL: 45_._7_._228_._197 👉 Quarantining the JakX Combat saves onto its own memory card is a good idea last I read. The autosave can corrupt the JakX file (as it recently did on my -39001 model PS2) along with, potentially, not recognizing any of the rest of the MC contents and, therefore, all of the other game save files and Netfile settings that could be present for other games.

You could survive the peacemaker by just stopping your car. 9 times out of 10,someone else would pass you, and it would kill them instead, giving you back your lead.

[@dvda9725]

Truth. Whether they intended for you to do that or not I dunno, but it feels so genius nontheless considering the game is so challenging that there's always at least one racer right on your tail, you never end up lapping around everyone else like you can if you get good at a Mario or Crash racer. If you get blown up in Jak X, you'll always get overtaken by multiple others, so the fact that you can use the game's difficulty to your advantage if you're smart enough is just the icing on the cake that is an already amazingly clever racing game. There's always a solution even if the game doesn't tell you it. It's perfect, and I think Brit would totally agree if he knew about the stopping trick.

[@mar_speedman]

@@dvda9725 lol, slowpoke You can definitely maintain enough of a lead to respawn and still be in the lead. In fact, more times than not, there's no opponent behind me and I only have to worry about peacemakers. My answer being to gun it as fast as I can to respawn before I lose my lead. Not actually making fun of your skill, though. The game tolerates many different styles, so you can be slower and still win.

[@dvda9725]

Ah yes, the autosave glitch, every Jak & Daxter fan's nightmare. I encountered this devilish glitch when I first played it. Annoying as hell until I found out that taking out the memory card, playing for an exciting session then plugging it back in to save manually when I'm finished for the day. Thank god for that. The soundtrack is absolutely kick-ass, definitely one of my favourites to listen to and even play it in the background when playing another fast-paced action-packed game. Devil May Cry, God Of War, Killzone, etc. Despite Naughty Dog forgoing Jak 4, I hope that one faithful day we'll get the next installment for real and make the community super happy.

Hearing you have the same complaints about Jak's worldbuilding, lore and storydevelopment feels validating. Like I didn't waste my time being annoyed about the same things. I really wish we could get a developer-interview explaining what happened, especially with all the weird stuff in Jak 3.

[@wyattbottorff2473]

It definitely is strange, and a little sad really. I think at the time we all wanted to see a more well-meshed story behind the universe and the characters, as much as we enjoyed the substance as it was. There is so much potential in it, but I suppose being that Jak 1 was such a mish-mash the developers didn't leave themselves a foundation for something so seamless and ran with the idea of something not so solid altogether.

[@dvda9725]

There is actually tons of backstory behind basically everything in Jak 3, problem is in the actual game certain things only get mentioned or hinted at, but it's all on the J&D wiki, and the game becomes more enjoyable when you know everything from sources outside the game itself. There's also lots of stuff that went unmentioned in Jak 2 (though this is more cool than frustrating) where certain things you do during the game you'll be just as oblivious as Jak himself is even after you beat the game, and you'll never realize until you go *really* in depth. For example, Jak 3 has Jak being banished because the people think his friendship with Krew helped the Metal Heads invade Haven, and while Jak is portrayed as being in the right because we're left as oblivious as he is, that's exactly what he did. Take the mission where you destroy the defense turrets in the sewers, they were there for keeping Metal Heads out, and Krew had Jak doing his dirty work without Jak knowing.

As a huge fan of the original trilogy, I was really excited to play Jak X when it came out. It was my brother who ended up buying it, but we never actually really played it, because it kept glitching out on our PS2.

[@Tvelly04]

I bought the Jak bundle. 1 through 4. Epic!! JAK X isbtge best racing game ever

[@animeprofilepicture8855]

jak x and the original sonic riders were by far the best 'kart racer' spin offs

[@ConTrollerNorth2]

Every once in a while, I grab a case of brew, go to my basement, plug up my PS3 to my now obsolete stereoscopic 3D TV (next to the now obsolete curved one) put on the Real 3D glasses that I refused to recycle from the theater, and play the Jak & Daxter Collection until I pass out. Only once in awhile, though!

[@geordangullock1237]

That last line from Jak is badass AF.

[@onlyacomentarynothingspeci2419]

We just need this series revived seriously

[@VareThane]

That dumb glitch tripped me up so bad on my first playthrough-- we couldn't even get out of the tutorial level until we got access to a full-size PS2, it was brutal. They fixed the save glitch in the 'greatest hits' re-release though! That was the copy I bought (my first playthrough was using a friend's disk), and it worked fine in my PS2 slim. I absolutely love this game haha.

[@moffett540]

For anyone interested in playing the game on a PS2 Slim there is actually a workaround to the save glitch I used to do when I played as a child. If you unplug the memory card while at the main menu it’ll disable autosave. You can plug it back in and save any time you’d like without having to worry about the game breaking and becoming cursed.

Jack X is the Deadlocked of the J&D franchise. A spin off deviating heavily from the original formula, but still made by the same guys and turned out to be fun as hell. On the bad spin off side, I think you could also consider Lost Frontier to be the Size Matters of the J&D franchise. Funny thing is LF and SM are developed by the same company.

[@coalgolem4697]

So the key with the memory card glitch is to load the save, then remove the memory card to disable autosave, then, when you are done, do a manual save. Also I believe I read somewhere that the "greatest hits" version doesn't have this bug, although dont quote me on that.

[@coalgolem4697]

@Ruthless Attitude Entertainment well damn, I have a slim and the non greatest hits version 😂😂. So I guess I'm forever stuck removing the memory card.

[@jonathanshirley4366]

I can confidently say that the PS4 version of Jak X runs almost flawlessly. The only issue I have noticed is that sometimes the music just like skips a little. Love this game. Favorite racing game hands down.

Jaks "you get used to it" is possibly the most badass line I've heard in a game

[@EvilLucario]

Really liked the video overall. For the Mario Kart comparisons though, I think both just have different goals. One is much more skill/technical-focused (Jak and CTR), the other is much more party-focused with enough degrees of skill-based gameplay (Mario Kart). Mario Kart being more simple and rubberbandy keeps things interesting even for those in the back, while Jak/CTR doesn't translate as well in a more casual setting. (Not claiming it can't, but not as well as Mario Kart) One isn't necessarily better than the other unless you have specific gameplay goals in mind, leading to those different gameplay designs, and why I think Mario Kart is so popular to this day amongst a wider audience, not just "core gamers".

[@kingjeremiahroseblack9346]

Wham Bam ,Thank you ma'am my favorite line from Jak in this game

[@mizodruze]

My most favorite game series from my childhood. Own a ps2 just to play Jak!

[@cvlprime64]

While everyone else had Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing, I had this and somehow i feel this is a little better.

[@crimsonshadow1140]

this and crash team racing are my two go to kart racing games
