Why the Fukk did they make Jak 2 so hard for?

[Gizmo_Duck]

I wish they got proper remakes like Crash Bandicoot, I want to play them now

Critics complained that Jak and Daxter was too easy and too cute, so they made a GTA light clone and ramped up the difficulty.

This answers your question OP.

I didn't the difficulty though, I always thought it kept me on my toes

But it ain't hard to Jak...

Jax 1 was a classic and challenging in some areas. True open world adventure it was groundbreaking.

they were all really good for their time. I remember the final set piece chase sequence with the big mechs in part 3 and I was seriously blown away. It was like the beginnings of what uncharted was.

I'd like to see Jak reboot that stays in its open world platformer-shooter roots. Maybe add some more rpg-lite mechanics, and make it a bit more teen age oriented. Something in the style of Arkane

thats the only reason im happy sony are tying their movie and game divisions together. A new Jak movie most certainly confirms a new game.

Sony pictures digging through the sony IP crates means theres gonna be new game tie-ins like Twisted Metal.

Sony was killing it, with the platformers on the Ps2. Jak, Sly, and Ratchet were classics. The Ps2 was such a goat system.

that fukking mission where you had to pick up fat ass Krew's money bags had me stop playing the game for a couple months. That and leaving the swamp when the Krimson guards ambushed you couldn't get in the water cuz the fukking robot drone would just kill you

Those were the holy Trinity. Honorable mentions to prince of Persia and beyond good & evil

 

[Mr Clean]

I think Jak 2 was the first time I asked for a game and didn't finish it. I passed it off to my cousin

Around that time a lot of developers fell back from making straight up platforming games

Those three are commonly known as the holy trinity of ps2 platforming trilogies. What a great time for games. Loved all 3 series.

I was actually stuck on those two as well
But I beat them

That ambush one actually has a cheat. You have to use dark jak’s dark bomb on the water and then u can escape with the hoverboard.

I remember it being a little tough, but not THAT hard. Was probably just out of high school at the time I beat it.
