Jak 3 and R&C 3

[nobie]

It's a really subjective matter. To me, WRT both graphics and gameplay SH3 was a much better game than either of those. OTOH, alot of people think the whole SH series is utter crap.

Yeah, taste...

To be honest i can't really say which one out of Jak2, SH3 and ZOE2 was "the best game". I would give the edge to JAK2 because of the sheer size and scope of the game. However that doesn't take anything away from the other 2 games...
And you guys know how much of a SH3+ZOE2 whore i am...

Ain want to continue subjective talking by me, but here is something i feel must be address

One of the great benefits of setting the game in a large city is it gives you a sense of who you are fighting to save. In Jak & Daxter, there is no-one actually under threat if you do not complete you quest. Whereas in Jak2 there is a whole city to save. This adds an important dynamic to the game because you feel part of something much bigger.

The large city is really BAD. In Jak1 at least the village is smaller, BUT more alive, more individually cool, more usefully nice and graphiX there is better. Becoz of the smaller scale, the people there are more memorable, you have more "FEEL" towards your fellow village inhabitants.

In Jak2, the large city is BLEHly bleh! Adds WHAT? to gameplay, but only nicey looking, just an uselessly bigger interconnect hub that we usually see in platformers. GTA "FEEL" it ain. WORSE, is how now everyone feels like a lifeless reduplicated pre-programmed bots drone-ing around. The buildings are tEh bleh too, not havey their own style. All in ALL, now the hub stage is more mechanically boring AND needlessly having you travel around longer to get to the next platforming stage, than Jak1.

Thank you again for your invaluable, but especially objective and comprehensible post, Chap. :|
Everyone already knows you've played the game for less than 15 minutes so i don't know why you even bother...

Moving on...

The reviewer at GameSpy didn’t seem to think much of it either. I can only agree on most of what he writes:

Whoa there. I can understand you not liking the game, but invoking the review with *by far* the lowest score the game received is a bit lame, considering most other scores are in the 9+ area. It's not like one odd review is going to prove your opinion is correct, it just makes it look funny and biased.

How you know i playing for less than 15mins?

I actually stopped playing at the sewer guns part. I realised i was just playing Jak1 again. Never even wanted to get Jak2, BUT finally, gave in to see how revolution it can be and of coz the graphiX. T2O bad, both parts ain as YummY to me. THANKFULLY, i got it cheap, cheap and cheap. So it ain bad trying out like if it be a bundled demo.

YES i be admit, they are NOT BAD games. REALLY pretty GOOD, PLAYABLE both Jaks are(REALLY!), just really tired. Technically, ND done it good. Good controls, good streaming engine, good camera, good jumping, good progression, good structure, good voices, good and good, just tired....old..samey..... guess the o-k sales showed how they were received genarally.

That be why maybe with the more freedom of PS3, can we see ND better.

Ironically, the sewer mission was unlike anything in J&D (and so goes for the much of the rest of the game actually, except for the classic platforming levels)

I give up. One can't even create an absolutely untrollable thread (such as new games news like this one) without Chap filling it with his non sense. I'm out of here, see u later.

@ london boy trolling comments...

do some of u just like to accuse people when topics go along the natural progression of discussion EVEN if the said posts dont sound nice to your ears?

IF by your "trolling" standard, how many Halo/Xbox topics have you "trolled"? NOT to forgot those "funny" jokes of yours?

Can everyone here just chill for a moment and stop taking things so hard and serious and stop accussing others? This place be the real better if everyone just sat back and talk easy. :?
