I'm disappointed my parents never got me sly. I didnt even know it was a game until maybe 5 years ago. They did get me Jak and Daxter, Crash, Spyro, ratchet and clank and Tak though. Banjo and Kazooie is another I wish I didn't miss out on.
@@Satiire I'd love to see you do a Platinum video on The N Sane Trilogy and Crash 4 as well.

@@AzureRoxeikr. Sly cooper, and jak and daxter are the only 2 in the old big 4 that don't get love. Spiro and crash both got remakes. Why not jak n sly
For the precursors, I like that they are small and cute but still just as powerful as they were made out to be. They still created the worlds, had those giant robots, all of that. They just didnt LOOK menacing.
Wait did the underwater precursor city not have a single trophy connected to it? That was one of my favorite sections of the game because of the precursor aesthetic throughout. It also has some of the funnest platforming challenges in the game imo.
It was also one of my favorites too! Especially at the end when you have to climb back to the top while trying not to die in the process Due to how long these Trilogy videos end up being though, some content has to be cut out so with the city not having any trophies, it was one of the places I chose not to show 😬
Daxter no joke looks better that way. If he got turned back the ending would have been his gf leaving his ass. Unless he turned back and got a glow up. xD
I remember being terrified of the Dark Eco Plant boss because if he strikes the final hit, you're taken into the perspective of Jak and get swallowed whole.
I feel like the explanation for jak being mar may have been left on the cutting room floor, but the way I interpreted it was a bit wild so bear with me here. The precursors are crazy powerful, incredibly advanced and capable of travelling through space and time, so I assumed that when they granted Daxter’s ‘deepest wish’ they not only gave him pants and a ladyfriend, but a *copy* of jak to keep him company- all while Mar moved on with the precursors to close off a few time loops (like building haven and becoming his own ancestor) before going on to remove the dark makers for good. In any case this was a delightful dose of sweet sweet nostalgia to keep me cozy on a sleepless night. Thanks, man.
1:23:57 You can use Light Jak to regenerate all your health after each round, enemies are stuck still while you do it, that's why there's a light eco vent there, so there's no reason not to use L1 and triangle at the end of each round.

@@jaystuart4300short games have really been great for me lately, though some are kinda old just new to me. Lots of them feel far more creative and passionate. Edith Fitch was the first one that kicked off me looking up great games under 10hrs and having a blast. There are games under 20-30min, there’s even a little game called Progress that you download as a tiny file on your PC to play through someone’s life as a sort of tiny movie. Hard to explain and it’s better to just experience it tbh
Two things. Slow time was the most potent ability because it invalidated any difficulty from every boss fight after you got it Jak IS Mar... The Jak you see is a double or time remnant maybe at the end of the game... Jak goes with the precursors through time and builds Haven City... At least that was how I interpreted it.
The precursor twist is actually a super cool addition. Ties it all together in a nice bow and helps explain what Daxter turned into. I always thought it was just some random squirrel
Feel like I'm an odd one out but I love the direction after J&D, there are so many platformers that you just run around and collect stuff, but Jak 2 and 3? Never found another game like them, sure I like playing most of the games I played as a kid, but these I think really stand the test of time and aren't only good because I was young when I first got into them. Something about the mix of platforming, action, complex plot (for a kid's game), badass characters, humour and adult jokes from Daxter, along with variety between an open world to explore and collect hidden orbs, linear missions, little optional challenge missions, the jetboard, hover vehicles, a bunch of unique cars in Jak 3, they're just so good. Plus, I swear that scene of Jak realising that Jak 2's world is the future hits so hard every time while looking at Samos' hut in the sewer area.
Same here. I remember back as a child, Jak 2 blew my mind. I just couldn't fathom that it had like an open world. I replayed the trilogy last year and it holds up really really well. Still awesome games and the HD remake looks good as well. Jak 2 was hard though. Struggled so much as a kid xd.
I'm with you on that one. Jak 1 is really fun and I like it a lot, but I'd take Jak 2 over it any time. Really love the vibe of the game. Though I played 2 and 3 before 1 so I didn't had nostalgia for the first game when I played the others. I just found it kinda weird that the first game was so different. Most people that argue against the change of direction are the fans of the first game that probably wanted something closer to what they had previously.
Played Jak 1 and 2 as a child but never was able to find a copy of Jak 3. Daxter's kind being the all powerful precursors is hilarious and totally in line with the spirit of the game.
the order i played the series in was X, 2, 3, then 1 so i kind of went through the series just already knowing it as an edgy futuristic shooter platformer thing and then later got the original and was like "why is this a different game i liked the guns more"
Honestly i think the whole precursor twist would have hit better for me, at least, if they had stuck with the first games style over the more gritty older style of the second and third game
I like the Precursor reveal because it reflects real life. Pretty much every culture (Nords, sit down) holds humanity up as descending from divinity. But then critical thinking meets science and bam! Evolution. We're basically apes. Cool. Great. That's gonna blow over well.
First of all, nice to meet a fellow jak and daxter content creator 😮. Secondly I am glad to see this game is still so popular 😀 And lastly, I am also glad to see the jak community supports this kind of content 🎉
I really liked Jak 2 because of it's gta style gameplay, as I had never played a GTA game before. I really liked the guns and how you can still melee, and LOVED the fact I could roam the city and steal peoples vehicles for a joy ride 😂
Its a bit cheap, but for the eggs in Jak II, if you jump above a gold egg, pause and select restart mission, Jak will fall and collect the egg and still restart the mission. For Jak 3, hold the button that turns you into Dark Jak down while standing next to the gold egg and do the same thing, pause and restart mission. He'll collect it and restart the mission. Takes the fun out of some of the challenges but it also makes those damn difficult ones a non-issue. I do love that you genuinely collected them for the video though, very well done! 😊
i bought the trilogy on ps5 a week ago and honestly the apart from the resolution being low and now hd it still holds up pretty well. i prefer to pay 20$ for the whole trilogy instead of it being remaster and repackaged at 70 bucks
Great video! I love the first game so much and you touched upon all of my favorite parts and feelings. A quick tip for the final boss of the first game, you don't have to use the first person view to shoot it. You can just shoot and it will autotarget.
Thank you! I'm glad I was able to show off all the best parts :) Appreciate the tip as well! If I ever get round to playing it on the Vita then I'll be sure to use the auto target instead! 🙏
Running theory for the ending, one of the precursors took the place of Jak so that he could stay with his friends. With the powers they hold, its very believable. Plus, none of the statues actually look anything like jak. If anything, they look like the chubbier precursor at the end if he were human.
Jak is just named after the founder, as he is a decendent. I have the trilogy Plats on both PS3 and PS4 [ I believe there is a Vita list as well, but I don't own a Vita and apparently the ports are bad ] and Jak X [ PS4 only ] as well, which I actually enjoyed so I don't know why it was considered a flop. Although I did like the dig at the game from Ellie in the Left Behind DLC.
story ain't that complicated in 3: Jak's birth name was Mar in honor of his ancestor, Samos didn't know this though, so he named him Jak due to the time loop going on (this does mean the origin of Jak's name is literally a time paradox, but stuff like that happens sometimes)
There’s 4 games so it’s not a trilogy but yes it’s great. Out of the 4 being Spyro, Crash, Jak & Daxter, Rachel & Clank. Spyro and Jak & Daxter are the kings
Bruh... I just realized Jak is staring at Kiera's ass at 9:30 lmao Also there was a lot of foreshadowing I didn't notice as a kid. Like references to time travel from the very first cut scene, to multiple times hinting that daxter is a precursor... etc.
For anyone who needs it The swamp rat part just seems more complicated than it is. You only have to move the camera from left to right (and back) and line up your shots . The eco always goes straight from your reticle so you can get most rats when they spawn
I'm so glad I finally got to watch this masterpiece! Another amazing video brother, so much nostalgia being beautifully paced within a short movie! You did such a great job incorporating everything, the gameplay, narration and the hilarious cutscenes! For me, my personal favourite out of the three was Jak 2. I don't know why, I just loved the look of Dark Jak. Back then, my simple mind was blown away with how cool he looked haha. Really smashing out some terrific games on the channel man, can't wait to see what's next! 🔥💯
Thanks for checking the video out man! Sorry for such a delayed response, I've been meaning to catch up on comments for a while so I'm getting round to it now :) I loved making this video and I'm glad so many people, including yourself, have been brought back to their childhood just by watching me play these games! I think enough time has passed for me to agree with you that Jak 2 is actually pretty good! I wish I played with Dark Jak a bit more though 😅 Really appreciate you checking the video out man, thank you 💜
Wait am I the only one that knew you could do spin melee attack into a yellow gun shot an it rapidly fires bullets at enemies an is just the BEST way to kill??!?!?!?
Is it bad that every time I've watched a Playstation event for the past 10 years, my main reason/hope was to see a Jak and Daxter remake? I'd hope they could stay faithful to the artsyle, just modernise it like ratchet and clank. Also keeping the voice actors would be great. I heard Tom Holland liked Jak and daxter and said he'd want to voice them in a film, I hope he stays the hell away from it.. lol.
Congrats on the platinum trophies. I'm trying to platinum jak 2 but the gold times of the races are frustratingly difficult to beat. With Jak 3 I somehow missed 3 orbs but I have no idea why or where, so I still have that one to beat some day.
If you’re on the ps4, I think in Jak 3 there’s a race in the desert that just doesn’t give you the 3 orbs for beating it because of a bug or something, and sadly I don’t know if there’s a way to get fix it
As Cherries has already mentioned, the PS4 port is broken I believe. The ports are riddled with glitches and audio issues so if you ever want to play them again, definitely get the PS3 collection :)
@@Satiire yep, I was at 92% when I encountered the old stadium glitch in Jak 2 because I did the extra races before the end of the game. Keira doesnt show up at the stadium and you cant turn of the race because the city is on alert. Never heard of it before, but it was an old PS2 bug that was fixed in the platinums release, but the PS4 version uses the original release with the bug. Hours of work wasted and the only option is to start a new game. I cried that evening...
My favourite trilogy of all time 😍 brilliant video. Not usually a big fan of these longer type videos but this was certainly worth watching all the way through 👍
Man dude... this made my heart feel so warm. I played this game with my little brother for 8 years since the trilogy was all we could afford until we were older. Really made some good memories come up thank you for the video.
I thoroughly loved the gameplay jump from Jak 1 and Jak 2. It felt the game was expanding/“maturing” along with its audience. I think the model from the first game would have severely limited the sequels
That's actually a really good view! I think the jump was necessary for the story progression and looking back on it, the overall gameplay did benefit too!
As a child I loved Jak and Daxter, when I heard about the changes they made for Jak 2, I was so upset and avoided playing it for months. When I eventually did play it I ended up loving it just as much as the first.
I feel this is badly laid out simply because you focus 99% on showing just playing through the game which is fine for Jak 1 but 2 and 3 all the challenge and things we would want to see in terms of collecting the platinum you do not show. Just completing the story is not an issue its all the races /side content and collecting that makes the trophy a challenge. I have the platinum for the PS3 trilogy and it was extremely difficult in places I found bloodborne to be much easier lol. But you don't show or mention any of those really challenging parts which seems a bit silly. For example one of the reverse races in Jak 2 it is insanely hard to beat the timer like even with perfect laps you only have a leeway of less than 1 second to do it with good RNG and some of the gun courses have to be perfectly memorized to have any chance of getting gold.
Yeah no-one actually uses Dark Jak in Jak 2, they save it for a moment they'll need it because it takes a long time to gather that much Dark Eco, and if you die you don't even get the Eco back to try again. So they save it for the moment they need it... and don't end up needing it. In Jak 3 you end up using it a lot more often because you don't have to use a whole bar transforming for a few melee hits.
I usually saved it for the final blow on the metal head leader but otherwise just used it when there were 5 or more enemies and it was available never really paid much attention to it
I agree, first game, even though it was a collectathon, it was fairly easy, where anyone could pick it up and put it down anytime they pleased and feel satisfied, Jak 2 is a bit on the hard side of things where it can get annoying, but one repeat playthroughs with the knowledge of what's to come you can overcome those challenges much easier, making it a good time (even if I nearly rage quit both on PS2 as a kid and PS4 a couple years back), and finally Jak 3 had the best balancing, certain parts could be frustrating, but they made for it with new weapon upgrades, and the light Jak abilities to ease you through, and again repeat playthroughs were MUCH easier, even though somehow on PS4 I had it surprisingly harder than on PS2, as I remember blazing through the OG PS2 version. (Sorry for the long post! But TL;DR) Jak 1 fairly easy for everyone, Jak 2 hard at first but repeat plays are easier, Jak 3 meets a fine line and gets easier in repeat plays.
I am a TREMENDOUS fan of the Jak games and I'm not really sure if I'm the only one who thinks this but I've never really thought of Jak's people as just straight up humans I've always thought they were like elf people considering they have long ears and they seem to live to be pretty old unlike normal humans
I once bet my brother that I could platinum for jak and daxter precursor legacy within 10 hours and did it. That was 12+ years ago I now play the ps2 first 3 games with friends showing them what they have missed.
Also, is Galacaron the European name for Gol, because that wasn't the name of the Dark Sage in my copy. I did complete Jak 2 on the original console but it was very difficult. This video might have some relevance... if Naughty Dawg had been smart and DELETED THEIR DEBUG MODE SO YOU CAN'T GET THE PLATINUM BY SKIPPING ALL THE CUTSCENES. X(
I find it hilarious in that Jak 2 scene where Daxter says "how do I drive this?" considering HE USED A HOVER ZOOMER in his own game when he was working as an exterminator. XD You haven't platinumed all the games yet, they now have a trophy list for the PSP Daxter game which got ported to modern consoles. I have the platinum for both versions. ;)
I recently rebought the Jak Trilogy on PS5 because it was on offer, and I always wanted to play Daxter again because I've played it since First beat it, which was my first PSP game. I can easily 100% Jak and Daxter, and I actually did the blue rings on my first try this time, but I missed 1 Power Cell in the Entire game, and it was the Muse. I caught the Muse when I went to Misty Island, but I forgot to give it back to the guy, and it was only when I got to the final boss that I realised I forgot to give the guy his Muse, so the whole game just gained a new title Jak, Daxter and Muse.
I tried 3 times to platinum Jak 2 to "miss" 3 precursor orbs, turns out sometimes there's a glitch. It totally put me off bothering to get the platinum for number 3 or Jak X. I've never backed down from a platinum trophy before but with how difficult this game can be and trying 3 times I just don't think I'll ever try a Jak game again which is sad I really loved these games as a child. I had even 100% completed Jak 2 as a teenager.
Alright, in the Jak 3 concept there is what this was. Jak was called Mar at birth because his father Damas wanted to name his son after his ancestor who was actually called Mar. After he was rescued by the Shadows from his captivity by Praxis, he was called Jak by Samos due to the fact as a mute child, he didn't even remembered his real name.
So I love, played, and 100% Jak and Daxter multiple times, huge fan of the original game! But I tried the second one and just couldn't beat it, the glitches were insane, way too difficult, stress inducing, and not fun. I didn't even bother with 3 due to bad memories of it. I really wanna play and enjoy the full trilogy and experience the story, but I just can't get into the other 2! Like I said, the glitches and difficulty really are what broke me for the second one. I think I reached a part where you had to defend Samos from giant robots or something and after multiple attempts I just couldn't do it. I may give them a go again one day, it's a shame as I do love the original so much!
1. you can undo the inverted camera by going to the graphics menu and pressing (I forgot which) a dpad direction + r3. 2. you shouldve included daxter on the psp xc
I got them all awhi;le back fr the Ps4 and man they 30fps and its soo bad ITS THE ONLY GAME RIGHT NOW THAT GIVES ME Motion sickness idk why it just does i love jak and dex but man i cant play this shit liek this.
1:08:10 "IF anything, it may have been one of the hardest mission out of the three games." **me, scratching my head at the Mar seal piece in Jak 2** I don't think i have ever had any difficulty what so ever on protecting the HQ mission, i'ma be real. this was the time to play with those funny new weapon attachments. While in Jak 2, it was considered obnoxious to always be jump-spin attack and shoot the yellow blaster as you'd be wasting ammo and leaving yourself open to attack, the beam reflexor (lvl2 yellow gun) made those last two points moot by making it almost meta in big open areas with tons of offscreen enemies surrounding you. jump, spin, fire a couple times and the entire area is cleared in seconds. Should also mention that with most of the primary and secondary attachments of the morph gun, the punch+shoot combo would also come handy in situations like that mission. it was especially effective with the yellow blaster, primary and secondary. atleast with the secondary, the bullets will bounce around and hit more targets. Effectively utilizing these techniques, you could even blaze through the coveted Mar's Seal mission in jak 2 without much problem or the need to cheese it with the jet board- which honestly surprised me the mission never came up in your playthrough of jak 2. you must've had no trouble at all then
Jak and Daxter 1 ❤ was an adventure, 2 and 3 were fun 💯 but not a journey like the first Game everyone fell in love with. I wish 2 and 3 never happened and instead got more adventures like Jak 1.
Didn't care for the 2nd or third game. Adding guns was just bizarre and felt like they where trying too hard at making them edgy and serious. The first game felt like a childhood classic, and the 2nd/3rd felt like the devs saying "you're a teen now!" Loved the first game though and it will be replayed a couple more times by me in the future im sure. But i didn't personally feel like the sequels deserved any praise. In fact I'd say it suffered from worse sequalitis than some. That said, there's plenty who love the sequels for all the right reasons. It just wasnt my cup of tea anymore. And reflecting as an adult now I easily see how they where loved by so many. The art style is amazing, mechanics weren't odd or unplayably buggy and it did bring more character and better narrative for those who enjoy a high risk epic fantasy adventure. I'm glad the oldies are still talked about today.
I'm doing the same right now. Jak & Daxter was easy. Jak II lured me into a false sense of safety because everything was going smoothly until I remembered how shitty the vehicles were. They take like 3 or 4 bumps before started to smoke.
One of my Favorite Gaming Series out there maybe even my absolute Favorite. Im still heartbroken they just abandoned it, and the final cutscene of Jak 3, them talking about more Adventures doesn't make it any better. I love Jak X and the Daxter game was good aswell but the one that is not to talk about is just wrong. Come on Naughty Dog make us fans happy
1:18:26 Sorry but isn't this obvious? Jak is not the historical Mar. He is named after his ancestor Mar as he is from the great house of Mar. What's so hard to understand about that? He's just named after his ancestor. That's it. Ashlin questioning wether he's "THE Mar" is never adressed, so it's safe to assume that Mar being a family and not just one guy isn't a commonly known fact. So Ashlin is just wrong because she doesn't know there is an entire family line called Mar. So obviously she would get the wrong impression.
My friend who loves Jak and Daxter made me do the rat shooting minigame and the fishing minigame and was mad when I did them both perfectly first try. Little did he know I already experienced that pain with the terrible Open season game for 360.
Well there was a fourth game, but it was made with zero involvement from the original creators and supposedly took place after 2 but before 3 but had no one from either game, and jak x was just a racing game not much story there
great content as always!!! i find ti absolutely amazing how much determination and discipline you have....even if it took you months to do these! Honestly have no idea...how long do these usually take?
Jak being called Mar I think is a really good thing with the idea of time travel at the end of Jak 3, maybe he did go back and found the city, but it is most likely he is just named after Mar and a descendent. There is also a funny theory that the crying soldier in the first game is Mar which I want to believe lol
Having these games plus the Sly Cooper trilogy during my childhood really makes me appreciate what I had as a 2000's kid
I should be grabbing the Sly Cooper trilogy in December! Hopefully you can relive some more memories 😊
I'm disappointed my parents never got me sly. I didnt even know it was a game until maybe 5 years ago. They did get me Jak and Daxter, Crash, Spyro, ratchet and clank and Tak though. Banjo and Kazooie is another I wish I didn't miss out on.

You know it! The plan wasn't to make it so long but I had to show off each game to it's full potential as this trilogy is great! 😊
For the precursors, I like that they are small and cute but still just as powerful as they were made out to be. They still created the worlds, had those giant robots, all of that. They just didnt LOOK menacing.
Also as stated, this is definitely the type of game to pull this sort of thing. "We are all powerful creators! But we're just so cute"

I remember being terrified of the Dark Eco Plant boss because if he strikes the final hit, you're taken into the perspective of Jak and get swallowed whole.
I was always scared to go to Misty island
i would get so nervous swimming anywhere in the first game lol that lurker shark used to scare the fuck outta me haha

I never died to his bite, so I didn't know that. I always died to the minions.
Misty island and the lurker sharks always spooked me.

Two things.
Slow time was the most potent ability because it invalidated any difficulty from every boss fight after you got it
Jak IS Mar... The Jak you see is a double or time remnant maybe at the end of the game... Jak goes with the precursors through time and builds Haven City... At least that was how I interpreted it.
The precursor twist is actually a super cool addition. Ties it all together in a nice bow and helps explain what Daxter turned into. I always thought it was just some random squirrel
I agree! It was great to finally understand what happened to Daxter and the twist was a great addition to the game!
I still remember laughing my ass off at that reveal for like 15 minutes with my brother and cousin.
Feel like I'm an odd one out but I love the direction after J&D, there are so many platformers that you just run around and collect stuff, but Jak 2 and 3? Never found another game like them, sure I like playing most of the games I played as a kid, but these I think really stand the test of time and aren't only good because I was young when I first got into them. Something about the mix of platforming, action, complex plot (for a kid's game), badass characters, humour and adult jokes from Daxter, along with variety between an open world to explore and collect hidden orbs, linear missions, little optional challenge missions, the jetboard, hover vehicles, a bunch of unique cars in Jak 3, they're just so good. Plus, I swear that scene of Jak realising that Jak 2's world is the future hits so hard every time while looking at Samos' hut in the sewer area.
Same here. I remember back as a child, Jak 2 blew my mind. I just couldn't fathom that it had like an open world. I replayed the trilogy last year and it holds up really really well. Still awesome games and the HD remake looks good as well. Jak 2 was hard though. Struggled so much as a kid xd.
I'm with you on that one.
Jak 1 is really fun and I like it a lot, but I'd take Jak 2 over it any time. Really love the vibe of the game.
Though I played 2 and 3 before 1 so I didn't had nostalgia for the first game when I played the others. I just found it kinda weird that the first game was so different.
Most people that argue against the change of direction are the fans of the first game that probably wanted something closer to what they had previously.
Played Jak 1 and 2 as a child but never was able to find a copy of Jak 3.
Daxter's kind being the all powerful precursors is hilarious and totally in line with the spirit of the game.
If you have a PS4/PS5, the Jak 3 port isn’t bad at all. Jak 2 and 3 are tied as my favorites. Absolutely love Jak and Daxter as well.
the order i played the series in was X, 2, 3, then 1
so i kind of went through the series just already knowing it as an edgy futuristic shooter platformer thing and then later got the original and was like "why is this a different game i liked the guns more"
One of my all time favorite trilogies. Binging this video in one sitting for sure
Appreciate you man! Definitely an underrated gem!
Honestly i think the whole precursor twist would have hit better for me, at least, if they had stuck with the first games style over the more gritty older style of the second and third game
I like the Precursor reveal because it reflects real life. Pretty much every culture (Nords, sit down) holds humanity up as descending from divinity. But then critical thinking meets science and bam! Evolution. We're basically apes. Cool. Great. That's gonna blow over well.
First of all, nice to meet a fellow jak and daxter content creator 😮. Secondly I am glad to see this game is still so popular 😀
And lastly, I am also glad to see the jak community supports this kind of content 🎉
Me too! It's great seeing how many people still love this series and the memories that come along with it! 😊
@@Satiire +1. Guess see you around fam
@@Kamurjan 100% 🤝🤝
I really liked Jak 2 because of it's gta style gameplay, as I had never played a GTA game before. I really liked the guns and how you can still melee, and LOVED the fact I could roam the city and steal peoples vehicles for a joy ride 😂
A masterpiece Satire. You should be proud!
Thank you brother! Appreciate you checking the video out 🙏
Its a bit cheap, but for the eggs in Jak II, if you jump above a gold egg, pause and select restart mission, Jak will fall and collect the egg and still restart the mission. For Jak 3, hold the button that turns you into Dark Jak down while standing next to the gold egg and do the same thing, pause and restart mission. He'll collect it and restart the mission. Takes the fun out of some of the challenges but it also makes those damn difficult ones a non-issue. I do love that you genuinely collected them for the video though, very well done! 😊
Man I love this game so much
That I wish we could get a remaster
i bought the trilogy on ps5 a week ago and honestly the apart from the resolution being low and now hd it still holds up pretty well. i prefer to pay 20$ for the whole trilogy instead of it being remaster and repackaged at 70 bucks
Congrats on completing the trilogy, played these back on the PS3 years ago. Great vid!
Thank you man! I'm jealous you got to experience these all those years ago, I was on 360 at that point 😢
Taking me back to my childhood, so much nostalgia watching the play through. Great video man
Great video! I love the first game so much and you touched upon all of my favorite parts and feelings.
A quick tip for the final boss of the first game, you don't have to use the first person view to shoot it. You can just shoot and it will autotarget.
Thank you! I'm glad I was able to show off all the best parts :)
Appreciate the tip as well! If I ever get round to playing it on the Vita then I'll be sure to use the auto target instead! 🙏
this trilogy is a core memory in my childhood, thanks for letting me enjoy these amazing games once again ❤
6:20 I was typing a comment about this very thought. 100% agree, Jak 1 is child's play but in a good way.
I remembered when I first played jak 2, I saw mar and thought “is that baby jak?” And by the end I felt like young me knew everything lol
Running theory for the ending, one of the precursors took the place of Jak so that he could stay with his friends. With the powers they hold, its very believable. Plus, none of the statues actually look anything like jak. If anything, they look like the chubbier precursor at the end if he were human.
56:03 😂😂😂😂 10/10 Joke, I wish I got to experience this game as a kid, looks too fun & enjoyable, great video!
Jak is just named after the founder, as he is a decendent. I have the trilogy Plats on both PS3 and PS4 [ I believe there is a Vita list as well, but I don't own a Vita and apparently the ports are bad ] and Jak X [ PS4 only ] as well, which I actually enjoyed so I don't know why it was considered a flop. Although I did like the dig at the game from Ellie in the Left Behind DLC.
story ain't that complicated in 3: Jak's birth name was Mar in honor of his ancestor, Samos didn't know this though, so he named him Jak due to the time loop going on (this does mean the origin of Jak's name is literally a time paradox, but stuff like that happens sometimes)
Go in Graphic Options, hold d pad UP and R3 at same time once to turn off invert camera.
There’s 4 games so it’s not a trilogy but yes it’s great. Out of the 4 being Spyro, Crash, Jak & Daxter, Rachel & Clank. Spyro and Jak & Daxter are the kings
Bruh... I just realized Jak is staring at Kiera's ass at 9:30 lmao
Also there was a lot of foreshadowing I didn't notice as a kid. Like references to time travel from the very first cut scene, to multiple times hinting that daxter is a precursor... etc.
For anyone who needs it
The swamp rat part just seems more complicated than it is. You only have to move the camera from left to right (and back) and line up your shots . The eco always goes straight from your reticle so you can get most rats when they spawn
I'm so glad I finally got to watch this masterpiece!
Another amazing video brother, so much nostalgia being beautifully paced within a short movie!
You did such a great job incorporating everything, the gameplay, narration and the hilarious cutscenes!
For me, my personal favourite out of the three was Jak 2.
I don't know why, I just loved the look of Dark Jak. Back then, my simple mind was blown away with how cool he looked haha.
Really smashing out some terrific games on the channel man, can't wait to see what's next! 🔥💯
Thanks for checking the video out man! Sorry for such a delayed response, I've been meaning to catch up on comments for a while so I'm getting round to it now :)
I loved making this video and I'm glad so many people, including yourself, have been brought back to their childhood just by watching me play these games!
I think enough time has passed for me to agree with you that Jak 2 is actually pretty good! I wish I played with Dark Jak a bit more though 😅
Really appreciate you checking the video out man, thank you 💜
Wait am I the only one that knew you could do spin melee attack into a yellow gun shot an it rapidly fires bullets at enemies an is just the BEST way to kill??!?!?!?
Is it bad that every time I've watched a Playstation event for the past 10 years, my main reason/hope was to see a Jak and Daxter remake? I'd hope they could stay faithful to the artsyle, just modernise it like ratchet and clank. Also keeping the voice actors would be great. I heard Tom Holland liked Jak and daxter and said he'd want to voice them in a film, I hope he stays the hell away from it.. lol.
Just platinum this today on ps5💯🔥
Congrats on the platinum trophies. I'm trying to platinum jak 2 but the gold times of the races are frustratingly difficult to beat. With Jak 3 I somehow missed 3 orbs but I have no idea why or where, so I still have that one to beat some day.
If you’re on the ps4, I think in Jak 3 there’s a race in the desert that just doesn’t give you the 3 orbs for beating it because of a bug or something, and sadly I don’t know if there’s a way to get fix it
@@cherries8928 that could explain a lot...next time I will try the PS3 version.
As Cherries has already mentioned, the PS4 port is broken I believe. The ports are riddled with glitches and audio issues so if you ever want to play them again, definitely get the PS3 collection :)
@@Satiire are u serious
@@Satiire yep, I was at 92% when I encountered the old stadium glitch in Jak 2 because I did the extra races before the end of the game. Keira doesnt show up at the stadium and you cant turn of the race because the city is on alert. Never heard of it before, but it was an old PS2 bug that was fixed in the platinums release, but the PS4 version uses the original release with the bug. Hours of work wasted and the only option is to start a new game. I cried that evening...
I havent even thought about this game for easily over a decade. Thank you for the nostalgia run man😊
These games were literally my childhood. And then when they released on ps3 and ps4 I platinumed all of them twice, loved every minute of it
My favourite trilogy of all time 😍 brilliant video. Not usually a big fan of these longer type videos but this was certainly worth watching all the way through 👍
Thank you for watching the entire video, it means a lot! It's an amazing trilogy and it seems to be a majority favourite! 👀
Jak and Daxter the precursor legacy is the best out of all 3 imo
Man dude... this made my heart feel so warm. I played this game with my little brother for 8 years since the trilogy was all we could afford until we were older. Really made some good memories come up thank you for the video.
These games are linked to so many memories and I'm glad it brought some of yours back too! Thank you so much for watching the video 💜
Anime
I thoroughly loved the gameplay jump from Jak 1 and Jak 2. It felt the game was expanding/“maturing” along with its audience. I think the model from the first game would have severely limited the sequels
That's actually a really good view! I think the jump was necessary for the story progression and looking back on it, the overall gameplay did benefit too!
As a child I loved Jak and Daxter, when I heard about the changes they made for Jak 2, I was so upset and avoided playing it for months. When I eventually did play it I ended up loving it just as much as the first.
The 2nd and 3rd games I didn’t like a lot loved the og one since I was a kid
I’ll never get over the fact that the fisherman is Batman Rip Kevin
Mannnn Jak II is the GOAT for me. Naughtydog pisses me off for how badly they’ve disrespected this franchise
I hope we get another instalment sometime in the future. A remake of the OG trilogy and then a true Jak 4 would be insane 🔥
This trilogy deserves to get a remake like crash and spyro did
Sad thing is if Crash and Spyro hade stayed exclusive to PlayStation I doubt we would have seen a remake for these games either.
Man I love you for this, helping me relive my childhood right now, idk if I can get these games anymore, but just watching this is about enough
Gotta give Sly Cooper series a run too.
I will 😎
Jake and Daxter 3 was the first game I played, and I was barely understand english 😂 oh the nostalgia ❤
She jak on my daxter till i platinum
fr 🔥🔥🔥
I feel this is badly laid out simply because you focus 99% on showing just playing through the game which is fine for Jak 1 but 2 and 3 all the challenge and things we would want to see in terms of collecting the platinum you do not show. Just completing the story is not an issue its all the races /side content and collecting that makes the trophy a challenge. I have the platinum for the PS3 trilogy and it was extremely difficult in places I found bloodborne to be much easier lol. But you don't show or mention any of those really challenging parts which seems a bit silly. For example one of the reverse races in Jak 2 it is insanely hard to beat the timer like even with perfect laps you only have a leeway of less than 1 second to do it with good RNG and some of the gun courses have to be perfectly memorized to have any chance of getting gold.
I love when tara strong randomly shows up in video games.
Yeah no-one actually uses Dark Jak in Jak 2, they save it for a moment they'll need it because it takes a long time to gather that much Dark Eco, and if you die you don't even get the Eco back to try again. So they save it for the moment they need it... and don't end up needing it.
In Jak 3 you end up using it a lot more often because you don't have to use a whole bar transforming for a few melee hits.
I usually saved it for the final blow on the metal head leader but otherwise just used it when there were 5 or more enemies and it was available never really paid much attention to it
I only ever played 2 as a kid and the psp daxtar game,remember loving them to bad they’re not on pc would love to play all of them
Technically there is a Jak 4, Jak X combat racing is a very good racing game I'd recommend checking out if you get the chance!
Actually you haven't platinum'd all that Jak and Daxter games since Lost Frontier & Daxter are now PS4/5 now with there own platinum Trophes.
Yessir I'm doing them now! Next video will be all Jak trophies
@@Satiire Sweet can’t wait man it’s gonna be a good one! 😆
I like how the characters break the forth wall, btw great video!
My first games :’) the beginning of it all. Thank you for this trip down nostalgia avenue. ❤
Jak 2 and 3 on ps2 were my childhood man. I played them nonstop. (mostly Jak 3)
You didnt show the underwater temple in the first Jak and Daxter..
I did but I didn't put it in the video due to the length
One of my favourite trilogies of all time, absolutely loved this video!! Congrats on the platinums 🥰🥰
Thank you! It's such an amazing trilogy! 👏
Great video. I played Jak 2 a lot when I was younger so it was cool to see someone go through and get the platinum
Amazing trilogy, I can't believe I missed this when playing all those years back! I've been tempted to go through them again recently 😅
Ratchet and clank kinda overshadowed it
these games were the perfect amount of difficult
I agree, first game, even though it was a collectathon, it was fairly easy, where anyone could pick it up and put it down anytime they pleased and feel satisfied, Jak 2 is a bit on the hard side of things where it can get annoying, but one repeat playthroughs with the knowledge of what's to come you can overcome those challenges much easier, making it a good time (even if I nearly rage quit both on PS2 as a kid and PS4 a couple years back), and finally Jak 3 had the best balancing, certain parts could be frustrating, but they made for it with new weapon upgrades, and the light Jak abilities to ease you through, and again repeat playthroughs were MUCH easier, even though somehow on PS4 I had it surprisingly harder than on PS2, as I remember blazing through the OG PS2 version.
(Sorry for the long post! But TL;DR) Jak 1 fairly easy for everyone, Jak 2 hard at first but repeat plays are easier, Jak 3 meets a fine line and gets easier in repeat plays.
In the first game, did you forget going to the underwater city?
No I didn't forget but I had to cut certain parts of every game out of the video as it would've been 2 hours long 😅
i enjoyed the way they took jak after the first game it decided to seperate itself from the other platformers of the time and do something differend
22:26 That's the best teenager's advice.
1:25:03 and now for the scene I pretend it doesn't exist!
I am a TREMENDOUS fan of the Jak games and I'm not really sure if I'm the only one who thinks this but I've never really thought of Jak's people as just straight up humans I've always thought they were like elf people considering they have long ears and they seem to live to be pretty old unlike normal humans
Thank you for this throwback down memory lane, guess I’ll have to look for the old jak games
This is gonna be awesome.
You know it! 🤝
@@SatiireIt was awesome.
I once bet my brother that I could platinum for jak and daxter precursor legacy within 10 hours and did it. That was 12+ years ago I now play the ps2 first 3 games with friends showing them what they have missed.
Also, is Galacaron the European name for Gol, because that wasn't the name of the Dark Sage in my copy.
I did complete Jak 2 on the original console but it was very difficult. This video might have some relevance... if Naughty Dawg had been smart and DELETED THEIR DEBUG MODE SO YOU CAN'T GET THE PLATINUM BY SKIPPING ALL THE CUTSCENES. X(
I find it hilarious in that Jak 2 scene where Daxter says "how do I drive this?" considering HE USED A HOVER ZOOMER in his own game when he was working as an exterminator. XD
You haven't platinumed all the games yet, they now have a trophy list for the PSP Daxter game which got ported to modern consoles. I have the platinum for both versions. ;)
I recently rebought the Jak Trilogy on PS5 because it was on offer, and I always wanted to play Daxter again because I've played it since First beat it, which was my first PSP game. I can easily 100% Jak and Daxter, and I actually did the blue rings on my first try this time, but I missed 1 Power Cell in the Entire game, and it was the Muse. I caught the Muse when I went to Misty Island, but I forgot to give it back to the guy, and it was only when I got to the final boss that I realised I forgot to give the guy his Muse, so the whole game just gained a new title Jak, Daxter and Muse.
I tried 3 times to platinum Jak 2 to "miss" 3 precursor orbs, turns out sometimes there's a glitch. It totally put me off bothering to get the platinum for number 3 or Jak X. I've never backed down from a platinum trophy before but with how difficult this game can be and trying 3 times I just don't think I'll ever try a Jak game again which is sad I really loved these games as a child. I had even 100% completed Jak 2 as a teenager.
Alright, in the Jak 3 concept there is what this was. Jak was called Mar at birth because his father Damas wanted to name his son after his ancestor who was actually called Mar. After he was rescued by the Shadows from his captivity by Praxis, he was called Jak by Samos due to the fact as a mute child, he didn't even remembered his real name.
So I love, played, and 100% Jak and Daxter multiple times, huge fan of the original game! But I tried the second one and just couldn't beat it, the glitches were insane, way too difficult, stress inducing, and not fun. I didn't even bother with 3 due to bad memories of it. I really wanna play and enjoy the full trilogy and experience the story, but I just can't get into the other 2! Like I said, the glitches and difficulty really are what broke me for the second one. I think I reached a part where you had to defend Samos from giant robots or something and after multiple attempts I just couldn't do it. I may give them a go again one day, it's a shame as I do love the original so much!
1. you can undo the inverted camera by going to the graphics menu and pressing (I forgot which) a dpad direction + r3. 2. you shouldve included daxter on the psp xc
I got them all awhi;le back fr the Ps4 and man they 30fps and its soo bad ITS THE ONLY GAME RIGHT NOW THAT GIVES ME Motion sickness idk why it just does i love jak and dex but man i cant play this shit liek this.
Can’t wait to give this a watch 🙌🏼
Thank you bro! 😊
1:08:10 "IF anything, it may have been one of the hardest mission out of the three games."
**me, scratching my head at the Mar seal piece in Jak 2**
I don't think i have ever had any difficulty what so ever on protecting the HQ mission, i'ma be real. this was the time to play with those funny new weapon attachments. While in Jak 2, it was considered obnoxious to always be jump-spin attack and shoot the yellow blaster as you'd be wasting ammo and leaving yourself open to attack, the beam reflexor (lvl2 yellow gun) made those last two points moot by making it almost meta in big open areas with tons of offscreen enemies surrounding you. jump, spin, fire a couple times and the entire area is cleared in seconds.
Should also mention that with most of the primary and secondary attachments of the morph gun, the punch+shoot combo would also come handy in situations like that mission. it was especially effective with the yellow blaster, primary and secondary. atleast with the secondary, the bullets will bounce around and hit more targets.
Effectively utilizing these techniques, you could even blaze through the coveted Mar's Seal mission in jak 2 without much problem or the need to cheese it with the jet board- which honestly surprised me the mission never came up in your playthrough of jak 2. you must've had no trouble at all then
Jak and Daxter 1 ❤ was an adventure, 2 and 3 were fun 💯 but not a journey like the first Game everyone fell in love with. I wish 2 and 3 never happened and instead got more adventures like Jak 1.
No mention of the 2009 Jak game? There's technically another game after the trilogy, it's just... not good, and even Naughty Dog is annoyed by it.
Didn't care for the 2nd or third game. Adding guns was just bizarre and felt like they where trying too hard at making them edgy and serious. The first game felt like a childhood classic, and the 2nd/3rd felt like the devs saying "you're a teen now!" Loved the first game though and it will be replayed a couple more times by me in the future im sure. But i didn't personally feel like the sequels deserved any praise. In fact I'd say it suffered from worse sequalitis than some.
That said, there's plenty who love the sequels for all the right reasons. It just wasnt my cup of tea anymore. And reflecting as an adult now I easily see how they where loved by so many. The art style is amazing, mechanics weren't odd or unplayably buggy and it did bring more character and better narrative for those who enjoy a high risk epic fantasy adventure. I'm glad the oldies are still talked about today.
I'm doing the same right now. Jak & Daxter was easy. Jak II lured me into a false sense of safety because everything was going smoothly until I remembered how shitty the vehicles were. They take like 3 or 4 bumps before started to smoke.
One of my Favorite Gaming Series out there maybe even my absolute Favorite. Im still heartbroken they just abandoned it, and the final cutscene of Jak 3, them talking about more Adventures doesn't make it any better. I love Jak X and the Daxter game was good aswell but the one that is not to talk about is just wrong. Come on Naughty Dog make us fans happy
1:18:26
Sorry but isn't this obvious?
Jak is not the historical Mar. He is named after his ancestor Mar as he is from the great house of Mar.
What's so hard to understand about that? He's just named after his ancestor. That's it.
Ashlin questioning wether he's "THE Mar" is never adressed, so it's safe to assume that Mar being a family and not just one guy isn't a commonly known fact.
So Ashlin is just wrong because she doesn't know there is an entire family line called Mar. So obviously she would get the wrong impression.
My friend who loves Jak and Daxter made me do the rat shooting minigame and the fishing minigame and was mad when I did them both perfectly first try.
Little did he know I already experienced that pain with the terrible Open season game for 360.
Well there was a fourth game, but it was made with zero involvement from the original creators and supposedly took place after 2 but before 3 but had no one from either game, and jak x was just a racing game not much story there
great content as always!!! i find ti absolutely amazing how much determination and discipline you have....even if it took you months to do these! Honestly have no idea...how long do these usually take?
Jak being called Mar I think is a really good thing with the idea of time travel at the end of Jak 3, maybe he did go back and found the city, but it is most likely he is just named after Mar and a descendent. There is also a funny theory that the crying soldier in the first game is Mar which I want to believe lol
