What the FUCK were they thinking?

>>384969213
They played too much GTA3

>>384969213
is it wrong to assume naughty dog decided to cater their games to their aging audience?

cause I feel like thats what they did

>>384969213
The first game fucking sucked dude. Jak 2 and 3 are the much better games.

>>384969213

Why do you care? Variety is a good thing.

What did he mean by this?

>>384969213
Jak 2 and 3 guns are excellent, and the story is fine. Jak 1 has nothing going for it besides the occasional tinge of atmosphere. Running across a flat level to pick up power cells left lying around is pathetically boring. Jak 1 took Crash and put him in an empty sandbox with nothing compelling to do.

>>384969694
This
As someone who played only Jak 2&3 it would be better if the first game didn't exist as they as standalone are good
I get the contrast looking back at the transition but the first game doesn't look as good
Things like >>384969807 had no meaning to me as I didn't know they were the Jak's first words
>>384969289
>>384969213
Just shit opinions

>>384970059
Good analysis

>>384969353
Naughty Dog isn't a household name that has strong brand recognition. While most people might know who Crash, Jax, or Nathan are, ask them what they think about Naughty Dog and they'll ask if that's a pornstar.

>>384970149
>As someone who played only Jak 2&3

Dude what the fuck why did you even continue holy shit I am actually upset

Jak and Daxter was good as a collectathon with a nice cast of characters and a cool evolution of what Crash did but it wasn't as good as Jak 2 and 3, I think>>384969353 is correct.

>>384970962
naughty dog would make a great porn name honestly

like when he nuts he goes "AAWWOOOOOOO"

>>384971164
>sits on it and spins

>signature move is giving a donkey punch as he yells WAMPA FRUIT

>>384970059
>flat
>making wrong claims

>>384971338
>punches girl repeatedly once for every droplet of cum she didn't catch

>>384968137
>Its a GTA clone, because you can steal vehicles, and its open world

Jak 2 > Jak 3 => Jak 1

Jak 3 made the bosses way too repetetive and easy and the wasteland was underused but man I'd be lying if some of my favorite times in gaming weren't using the turbo hoverboard to do sick trix on dunes

fuck man ps4 edition when naughty dog is one of only two companies I'd buy games from repeatedly

>>384971659
yes that is 2/3 of what makes a game a GTA clone although it is a silly term in an era where open world is ubiquitious

jak 1 was the only good game in the series. What a disappointment of a franchise.

Jak 2 was amazing
probably the best in the series
i can still remember the layout of the world
my only issue was at times the world felt spread out, wished it was squished in more

I still resent the day my brother returned the game

>>384973350
iunno I enjoyed traveling between the world, it felt like the perfect size to me

the only bad part is the area where whats his face, nerdy dude, Vic? V- something, once he's gone it feels incredibly empty and depressing in that zone.

where were you guys when i got dogpiled for saying jak 2 was better than jak 1 in a platformer thread?

its as if everyone that hates jak 2 never got passed the car escape mission at the beginning (like my friend did) and wrote it off as a edgy gta clone.

>>384974168
People should replay Jak 2 and 3 when the PS4 versions are out and there's no pressure sensitive gas/brake. Driving will be so much easier.

I never got past the underground mine in jak and daxter because of the cancer controls. Naughty dog deserved anthrax mail for that

>>384969213

"We developed this awesome streaming tech for our Mario64 knock off, maybe we could make something like GTA III with it."

And so they did and it was awesome.

>>384974296
Wait wtf?The ps4 controllers aren't pressure sensitive?Why the fuck would they remove a feature?

>>384974724
Because it fucking destroyed all of the buttons on your controller. It took them two gens to realize pressing a button as hard as you can wears it out.

>>384974560
>3D
>Shooting
Its clearly a doom clone

are remaster would be perfect for ps4
all they would need is a more detailed texture pack and add some new gen lighting

>>384974879
You don't have to press it as hard as you can to go full speed you fucking retard

>>384975076
Full speed is still too rough on the controller. You should be giving buttons a mild tap at most.

>>384968137
Lol

rare moment where I learned something on 4chan, thank you

>>384969213
you haven't actually played Jak 2 have you
