Why Jak 2 Was An Outstanding Overhaul

[@MrJarheadTV]

This video was one hell of a monster to put together, but I’m proud for challenging myself and getting it done as quickly as I did, even if it is here a bit later than I had hoped. Nonetheless I hope this video can serve to bring smiles to your faces during these harrowing times. Stay safe everyone. I love you all and thank you so much for your time and your support.

Saw this on reddit and if I'm being honest wasn't expecting this comedy 10/10 review 10/10 great video

I'm currently trying to get all the orbs on hero mode and after beating the game I thought I'd rewatch this video and I think all your videos still hold up today I also saw my comment in your portal video 🙊

[@MrJarheadTV]

Good luck with that I could never lol. And that's cool to hear you think the old stuff still holds up!

[@Garbonzo-uh7qz]

@@MrJarheadTV thanks the side missions are easy enough but getting the high scores are an absolute pain in the ass

[@DecadesApartProductions]

I'm glad other people have a love/hate relationship with this game. I hate the driving segments but overall enjoyed everything else. Also, I think that the music cutting out is a glitch with the HD version. I haven't played the PS2 version in a few years but I don't recall the music cutting out.

I got this game on sale 2 years ago in the Jack and daxter collection on ps4 for like 10 bucks and I didn't get to play it until last June and I got like a quarter of the way in before the first major boss fight and I stopped playing because it was pretty tough ngl. This was around the time where CTRNF, a game I would consider in my list of most anticipated of all time, and I just quit because I hated travelling back and forth in the main city but so far watching this has made me itching to go back and finish it cause i loved the first one

[@MrJarheadTV]

Trust me it gets much harder after the first boss lol, regardless I think it's absolutely worth a shot going back to! It's a ton of fun

[@Dallasrocker124]

@@MrJarheadTV hell yeah dude I might now, I'm currently playing through the witcher 3, ff7r but I'm itching for a platformer

[@MrJarheadTV]

I started Witcher 3 years ago but never got back around to it. I'd love to but right now I'm just more occupied doing this stuff. My brother just finished FF7 and he loved it I'll have to try that eventually too

[@Dallasrocker124]

Just got it downloaded on my ps4, gonna have that crack at it

[@Angelo-jd8xx]

This is my all time favourite game and i appreciate that you make a review of it after so many years, your commentary and edit way are really funny and enjoyable, in a moment you are talking in a natural way and then you scream and saturate the audio in an unexpected manner and it just makes me laugh so hard Greetings from Argentina

[@MrJarheadTV]

Glad I could provide you with some laughs! That's awesome to hear you're all the way from Argentina, and I'm really happy you enjoyed me covering your favorite game so much :)

[@greywolfesdinner8990]

Your content is spot on. Just found your channel by chance and just like you I felt exactly the same way about jak II while incredibly flawed at times overall I had an absolute blast playing this game.

[@MrJarheadTV]

Well thank you so much for the comment I'm glad you enjoyed! I remember feeling so frustrated as I was playing but once I sat on it for a while I just found myself liking Jak 2 more and more. It definitely has its flaws but is still a fuckton of fun

[@Themightymcbob]

Bro, how can all of your vids be this good. Great content on great games. I'm loving it!

[@MrJarheadTV]

Happy to hear you're enjoying your binge!

[@pinkprison]

I must say it is well put together! It's fast paced but I love it that way XD Nice effects and additions! It is a beautiful peace of art! You earned yourself a subscriber and an honorary like my friend! -Here from reddit.

[@MrJarheadTV]

I'm happy to hear you like the edits and the pacing, thank you so much :D

[@sonnyhale]

Great video my friend, these games are my childhood and its amazing watching videos about them! Good luck with your channel.

[@MrJarheadTV]

Thank you friend 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@apeescape2291]

Really enjoy your editing and humour dude, subbed, keep it going

[@MrJarheadTV]

Thanks so much I'm happy you enjoyed it!

[@Duckkis]

Ahh, Jak II. The first PS2 game I owned, and still my favorite in the series. Sure I've had my rage moments with both this game and Jak 3 over the years, but hey. The love I feel for the series is so much greater.

[@Dominikmetal]

This review was amazing, thank you

[@MrJarheadTV]

No thank u

Thanks Brandon glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mathtriqueur]

Good pacing as always.

[@MrJarheadTV]

Thank you so much

[@cab12300751]

This game annoyed/pissed me off so much during my first playthrough that I remember thinking "After I beat this, I am never going to play this game again" haha Still haven't had any desire to do another playthrough since then... but your video is making me question whether I gave it too much shit or not. Also great video, as per usual!

[@MrJarheadTV]

Trust me there was a good 2 hours where I was like fuck this game lmao. But really I think while it is very challenging it's not unfair (minus the checkpoints, they're arguably pretty brutal). I think it's definitely worth another shot. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@DragonGamerNick]

Love the video and the edit I need to play the game

[@MrJarheadTV]

Thanks! I totally recommend it!

[@ceasersaladfromthe90s11]

Nice Stream , I'm glad I've show up to watch the stream.

[@MrJarheadTV]

It was great talking with you thanks for being there!

[@HASHARAHHA14]

Transformations are handled waaay better in the third game.

[@MrJarheadTV]

Cool, this is my first time playing through the Jak series so that's exciting to hear

[@sharkiy-exe]

Hey I have Question are you gonna make a video about Like aaaaa... Far cry 3 or any War game

[@MrJarheadTV]

I'd like to eventually! I loved Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 5 so hopefully someday

[@xxpeterunlustigxx]

This and part 1 are the best Jak and Daxter games

[@MrJarheadTV]

This is my first playthrough of them and I love love love the first 2, I've heard slightly mixed feelings about Jak 3 so that'll be interesting to check out

[@Big_Stin]

Give this man money you absolute heathens. Also this story is hella confusing and you explaining it well.

[@MrJarheadTV]

Indeed it is, I tried my darnest to explain it as best as I could without writing a 96 page script

[@Nat2jz]

Earrape memes and lot of editing for a review video 🤔 HELL YES I WANT IT ! 😂 You got my attention but I'm still not interested in the Jak franchise, the story is interesting (complicated too) the gameplay is good (lot of variation), ... but I prefer staying with Sly Cooper 😁 As always (I mean, yes since I sub) Nice video I love ur editing, combine serious and funny stuff BELLISSIMO 😚

[@MrJarheadTV]

I can see why Jak 2 wouldn't be the most appealing. But hey I'm glad you can nonetheless appreciate me obnoxiously giving my thoughts on it! Thanks for all the love as always Nat

[@ChristianFrates1997]

I like the sequels better than the first because it helps differentiate itself compared Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper.

[@MrJarheadTV]

Yeah I can agree with that. I can't remember if it was B-Mask or TheGamingBrit who said something like "There's a lot of games like Jak 1. There aren't many like Jak 2." but that always stuck with me cause it's such a good point

I find this video fun to hit play and watch. I’m making a video that is similar.

[@PatoGuzmanAd]

Love your channel so much. That being said, I really have a hate relationship with this game, as I kid I liked it and found it decent, but now I can see all the flaws it has, the vehicle mechanics are hideous, the races are terrible, the dificulty spike it's hilariously bad, the story is a mess, the environments are so dull and muted, it's like playing it with 0 saturation or brightness, the tone is weird (like they tried to be serious and then Daxter comes and throws some jokes), and they throw you an overload of new stuff to do but then they forget about it (like Dark Jak). And the third entry isn't any better imho.

[@MrJarheadTV]

I can 110% see why people would hate this game. Even as I played it I was like ughhhh but after just sitting on it for a while I fell in love with it. The races aren't the best but I personally didn't find them too offensive. They're definitely a bit sluggish so I can see why you wouldn't like them. I agree the story's more complicated than it needs to be. The environment's are muted as you said but I don't mind because I feel like that was by design to fit the darker tone of the game. With that said however Haven City is definitely pretty monotonous. I can also see your point about Daxter but I don't mind, I think he's great comedic relief. It is sad how they treated Dark Jak cause as I said I thought it was a great idea. I've heard mixed opinions about the 3rd game but the common conclusion seems to be it's the weakest in the series, so I'm bracing myself for that impact lol. Thank you so much for the comment it's great to hear that you're enjoying the channel so much :D

[@sebastiankulche]

@@MrJarheadTV I personally think Jak 3 is much better than 2, since it solves all of the annoyances with the driving and the difficult, while also adding a lot of innovative gameplay for the time. I still think the first game is the best though.

[@MrJarheadTV]

That's totally fair there is a lot of potential and things that Jak 3 tweaks that provides for some of the most fun in the whole franchise. However for me personally as much as it improves and fixes some things it completely neglects others and falls flat in other areas. They're all great games in their own way for sure

[@BladeDrummer]

Bro great review! I loved the Jak games 😁 Great editing, commentary and you're funny as hell 🤣 If you get a chance, check out my latest review 😊

[@MrJarheadTV]

Thanks Blade :D And yeah no problem, I'll check it out today!

[@ci7210]

From Jak 1 to Jak 2 is the definition of 0 to 100 real quick. I know watching some KZbin channel and reddit comments didn't like the change. But was 10 when this game came out and thought that game was the coolest thing ever. Finally playing it. It's infuriating but satisfying to finish missions kinda like Crash 4

[@MrJarheadTV]

I couldn't imagine what the shift must've been like if I were a kid jumping from Jak 1 to Jak 2, would be madness
