Complete opposite. 2 and 3 are fun. PL is so fricking dull it will put you to sleep. Has nothing going for it beyond nice looking environments and impressive animations.
>nice looking environments and impressive animations.
adding to that: barely any loading screens, and super smooth movement. It was pretty cutting edge in 2000 or 2001 when it came out.
it was alright. i can see why platformers were dying at the time beacuse jak 1 feels very safe and bareboones. its not a bad game. it just dosent offer much.
This, except I was the PERFECT age for the series. preteen for J&D, edgy young teen for Jak 2 (I wasn't allowed to play GTA so stealing cars and shooting npcs was mindblowing to me), then Jak 3 had more options and driving cars in the desert, and finally as an older teen combat racing was fun until I tried hero mode and had to rage quit.
Frick what Naughty Dog became. Fricking movie company.
I remember how hard that last segment was, I hated it so much. I also realized an old game is only good up until the part you stopped playing it as a kid. I really couldn't care less for anything aside the first two areas, but I force myself to beat it.

good game, but perhaps they focused too much on the engine

Jak 2 is one of the best and most engaging games on PS2. Kept me hooked from start to finish with its story, gameplay variety, setting and difficulty level

You think you should have played the pc port of it instead. Also did you get the hidden orb?
Yes
You think it was an enjoyable experience and wonder what happened to making cozy fun games rather than overly dramatic movies.
Decent collectathon, 2 is absolute shit only propped up by nostalgia blinded people. 3 is meh, not worth your time.

Cringe. You know those shit boring minigames Spyro 2 and 3 were full of? Jak 2 is that, but the entire game.
Jak 1 is the one with the reliance on minigames. Within the first five minutes, you're catching fish in a clone of that shitty Atari game.
there are 2 or 3 orbs like this in the entire game, cope

I'm replaying 2 at the minute and I like it much more now than I did at release.
I finished 1 from the HD collection and I loved it, immediately went to play 2 and I was fricking shocked. Didn't even leave the first "area"
It was good and comfy, but you question the 3 point health system that takes 50 eco pieces to gain 1 point
you're gonna try the sequels?
>What did I think of it?
Normal people can decide that for themselves you know. You shouldn't let homosexuals on Ganker decide what you think.
You're thinking that you'll play Jak 2 and not trust brainlets on Ganker who seethe at the opening cutscene
>I'm going to choke that Black person Praxis with his own israelite guts as I frick his redhead bimbo daughter
Damn, it really was a different time
It really was.
You loved it, it's one of if not the greatest platformer collect a thon of all time
you thought it was so good you're downloading the PC port now.
it was alright. i can see why platformers were dying at the time beacuse jak 1 feels very safe and bareboones. its not a bad game. it just dosent offer much.
Best collectathon ever made
a shame they made the sequels gta clones
I liked Jak 2 and 3 but frick I would've killed for a proper Jak and Daxter 2 back in the day.

good game, but also tepid and unoriginal
Daxter is much better in 2 and 3. He's playable, given a love interest, and can have an exchange with Jak now that he speaks
it's had so much SOVL and then ND ruined it by making Jak2 cringe/edgy for no reason

2 is unironically a great fricking game, absolutely filtered if you dislike it. 3 is the weak link out of the 3 jak games.
