I think about how Jak II directly inspired the creation of Shadow the Hedgehog, and boy does it show.

Jak when he transforms: *"IT'S MORBIN TIME!"*

To all the twitch and YT comments talking about the "early 2000s writing" of these games, specifically the misogyny and fat jokes, let me say this: The time period is an *explanation* for the shitty jokes, not an excuse. It being written then instead of now doesn't make it any less yucky and hard to watch, and Penny is completely allowed to react accordingly (I myself was very much cringing or out loud complaining cause some of it is ROUGH). There's plenty of games/media written around that time that don't do this and are still funny! And having nostalgia for these games doesn't remove how uncomfortable the jokes you didn't get as a kid are. All the same, you are 100% valid in enjoying these games. Just remember that people are entitled to their opinions and Penny is allowed to not play games on stream because she doesn't want to. I understand someone not fully enjoying something you love can be upsetting but you cant control how they feel, only how you react to it. I dont wanna sound too preachy tho so just anyone reading this take care of yourself and others, and if you love these games, fuck yeah, more power to ya

I literally said out loud "PUNT HIM" at Daxter when he was being gross at the tattoo resistance lady

Jak II 'please oh god oh fuck, stop making me think about Daxter's red rocket for two seconds' challenge (impossible difficulty)

1:16:57 Oh my gosh, thank you so much for rolling with what I said that "Thats Moo Now is the new Fus Ro Dah." You would swear it was planned with how fast you actually pulled up the Skyrim trailer and then PERFECTLY dubbed over Dovahkiin's shout on the first try. Your improv skills are INCREDIBLE! And, oh my god, the build up just made it even better. Would have it no other way. Thank you so much for making last night one of the best moments ever in my life, Penny.

I would adore a jak n daxter dub!!!! Like imagine the bits to come from that, like on the same level of the sly dub, it'd be so good

Was really interesting to hear your fresh takes on this series, sorry you didn't enjoy it so much. If you are interested in seeing what people love so much about this series, there's videos from Breadsword and The Gaming Brit Show that are super high quality and very well written. (Though I can't really excuse the misogyny, didn't click just how bad it could be until I heard you talk about it). Edit: also just wanted to say, I think these games did a lot right to warrant still being considered good outside of nostalgia. I think Jak 2's approach to combat and level design is really well designed, and as a trilogy, there's truly nothing else like it

I just realized, both games have 1 obvious twist right before an actual twist

My nostalgia is probably too strong at this point but I like how it felt like there remained SOME charm to the characters even as the tone shifted. Like....I guess I enjoy that there's a clear good/evil dichotomy? I like that Torn is an edgelord but very much a good guy? Again there's no escaping that it's so far removed from the first game so I wouldn't try to turn Penny on it. It's also a shame that the shitty vignette compilation that was the Jak 3 movie didn't show off the environments of the wastelands. Spargus is beachside and it brings back the sun and some colors and it's a neat looking city. The scale of the driving segments on the god damn PS2 also need to be witnessed to be appreciated.

Seeing someone in chat defend Jak II being called that instead of Jak and Daxter 2 because it would've been "too long" was so confusing, like Ratchet and Clank 2 is right there and it's fine ??? Penny is right why tf did they drop Daxter from the title if he's still there lmao But if that person in chat was joking nvm it just seemed like they were being serious and that's such a dumb reason to drop Daxter from the title

The last 3D movie I saw was also the first ever 3D movie I saw. Shark boy and Lava girl, but of course wearing the pink Lava girl glasses that came included in the dvd case

i seriously did not realize how much comfort these streams/vods give me- i feel so much more relaxed listening to penny than i do other creators most of the other content creators i watch are straight men and they’re funny ofc ofc! but i feel so much more comfy, relaxed, and related to penny’s content. as a lesbian, i feel at home in these videos and i’ve never felt that before fhhffhhfh thank you penny!!

These really are some of my favorite games, but I'm glad that even though Penny hasn't enjoyed Jak and Daxter (after the Penny Snapcube 2022 Jak II incident) she's still doing the cutscenes on stream for Jak Wednesday closure.

It's actually kind funny, because Seem actually tells Daxter "Thank you for letting me see the face of my creators" at some point (i'm so sorry i can't find the time stamps) which entirely would spoil the plot twist, except most likely it's not a line you pay attention to, and if you do you're only like "what the fuck" until the reveal happens She also says that Daxter "Bears the colours of the precursors" when Jak first meets her, so there's been hints through the gone, which just makes it all the better that Penny did not expect it

Movie starts-ish @ 33:25

AW HELL YEAH MOVIE NIGHT WITH PENBY

Best entertainment when one is sick is to watch Penny's Jak-escapades, from the actual playthroughs to this movie commentary! ✌️ Thanks for making my day!

I did a double take when the Movie Theater asked 2D or 3D for Multiverse of Madness. I had completely forgotten about 3D, my last 3D movie was Spiderverse

1 min of this 4 hour stream was better than the entirety of morbius.

1:01:25 Jak has a spine now and we need to remove it

1:49:18 "That's rough buddy"

4:18:19 She wished for a pair of pants like those not to change species what do you mean be careful what you wish for

T h e v a l v e

“You need a hug, Jak? Cause we've got plenty to go around!” That makes my skin crawl in several different directions

4:08:48 "AAAGGHH! VEGER!!" "LIQUID!!" "SNAAKE!!" "KENNYYYYYYYYY!!" Same energy.

i know nothing about these games but you’re very cool and funny penny

2:16:20 I know this heavily pre-dates Penny doing the "you can be cum" jokes on RE4 and Spongebob, but I do lowkey wish some of this bit made it in to the edited version. What a wild watch party this was to watch in full.

One monk short of a choir? Wow that line flew over my head as a not-so-bilingual kid 🤣 I feel like the dialogue in this game is much better than in the second. Well, the ones in cutscenes at least; a lot of them take place during gameplay, which makes this harder to follow. But the game's plot was always very messy.

Penny, idk if you can see this but pressing the "," and "." buttons while on youtube walks backwards and forwards by one frame respectively.

I only watched my brother play these two games and I never saw that much of them so I used to always think Jak 2 and 3 were these super cool edgy games that I just never played, until this very moment I was under the assumption that Jak 2 was like one of the coolest games ever. I don't like anything about it, it turns out. I uh, tried it after this, I really, don't like it. There's cool story moments though. Spoilers, I guess, if literally anybody cares. Okay but it actually was kind of twist there in Jak 3 because I was assuming Damas was aware that Jak was really his son the whole time but no he just doesn't know it! I thought he was just doing a really really bad job at hiding it from him but no he just really thinks it's all a coincidence!

Growing up with the french version , its crazy how bad some of the casting choices are for jak 2/3 are so bad sometimes , mainly thinking about Thorn and Damas who have actual deep fiting voices in the french dub (and to some extent jak doesn't feel as try hard either but his english VA is also doing a good work) . Also like many said that jak 3 cutscene compilation makes everything confusing , a lot of the dialogue and context is given outside of cutscenes with voicelines but the plot does inded makes a lot of needless trip betwen haven city and Spargus . Also jak X has a killer soundtrack

1:47:18 Penny I unliked this video just so I could like it again for that bit 🥰

I love how in Jak 2 and 3, Penny was like "that can't be the twist, it's too obvious" and as it turns out no, it was just actually that obvious.

Keira explicitly states in a cutscene that they warped to the far future, and you see what's left of Samos's hut. I don't get how everyone in the chat is confused about whether this is past or future for so long.

I think it's actually a fairly common sentiment that The Precursor Legacy was the best game in the series at least from a gameplay loop perspective. Personally the best Jak game they could make IMO would be with The Precursor Legacy's structure and Jak 3's mechanics.

Almost as good as Morbius

2:57:59 back from break

3:54:07 Wait if she has the political power to do that why wasn't she able to stop them from banishing Jak in the first place

Jak 3 is actually fun to play unlike 2, also I know you've already played them before, but I'd love to see some Aly cooper streams someday

Re "timoncore" Max Casella was Timon in the original Broadway cast of The Lion King

Very nice 👌

I'll be honest, you are partially right about Jak 2 and 3 love being nostalgia. For me personally, I have very little positive things to say about Jak 2 and I can definitely admit that my love for Jak 2 in particular is mostly nostalgia. In fact, I had actually a few months ago went and replayed these games and I made the conscious decision to outright skip Jak 2. Jak 3 however, I genuinely think that Jak 3 is a good game. It's not a flawless one by any means and I will absolutely play Jak 1 over it any day, but there is so much about Jak 2 that Jak 3 fixes. Even if the story is a little bit more disjointed or hard to follow, playing it is actually incredibly fun and honestly I could even make some comparisons to Ratchet and Clank with some of the weapons it gives you this time around. Plus, the presentation for 3 is definitely a step above 2. One thing to note in particular is that the soundtrack was a proper composition with streamed audio instead of using the PS2's midi system. Granted that does prevent them from making the soundtrack dynamic, but then again that was the last straw for you in Jak 2 so it evens out :)

you should do a vexx movie night :]

58:46 metal pipe sfx

Am I allowed to go to sleep to this stream also?

Jak 3 is much better played then in a compilation, there's not much downtime between missions since they like halved the world structure, and there's a lot of minigames or missions that make the cutscenes make sense, I really think you should try to play 3 on stream, easier, more fun, and more compact while also having more "open world" tasks or things to do. Idk probably bias but I think you're missing out on a lot. Just remember to jump spin and shoot

🔥

MAR??

Doesn't she talk about Jak Poppin behind Jak

1:05:40 for poop

Why does he speaks like shadow the hedgehog?

Who else seen this music video of Jak&Daxter? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZyRndV32LWvhKs.html I LOVE IT SO DAMN MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:21:30 Amazing

I clicked so fucking fast

For some (probably good) reason I completely forgot just how yikesy most of Jak 2's script is. Holy shit.

it saddens me greatly that your not going to play jak 3. it was the only one I played. but it was my favorite game as a kid. though to be honest I can remember literally zero of the plot. but I loved the gameplay a lot. the guns in this game always felt very special and exciting to me for some reason. and I really enjoyed the riding. both the kangaroo things and the cars.

One thing I didn't get was why Penny was so hung up about Daxter flirting, specifically the part of him not having a human body and the women he was flirting with not caring and still being into him.

I heard Jak and Daxter are coming back with a movie

So no subtitles... could we get a dub of the whole trilogy? Would make it epic

Jak 3’s story is just Kingdom Hearts bbs; Veger is literally Xehanort

I’m waiting for this person to go live on KZfaq at least once unless I already missed that

Still i don't think these two are bad, for me and many other people, but personal critics are still valid Better luck for the next franchises you Will play

I think the only reason Daxter gets away with as much as he does and is still even remotely endearing is because he's so _ineffective_ overall. He's just a little orange squirt with a whiney voice, it's hard to take anything he says seriously

Honestly I’m with ya with being uncomfortable with certain choices for Jak 2. What is that character design And I had an epiphany just now, Keira is a mechanic she should be fucking buff as all hell! She should be able to pick up Jak with her bare hands!

I'm really surprised by two things: 1) All the misogyny in Jak II what the actual hell 2) Everything they ripped off wholesale from Dune. Like really there's so much in both Jak II and 3 that feels like it's ripped straight out of Dune. Granted there's no child who would have both played these games when they came out and have read Dune so of course they got away with it.

Nahhhh, Jak 3 is the best out of the franchise. You actually have to play the game to get the full experience

The first and only movie I saw in 3D was toy story 3, it changed literally nothing

wow you really didnt even give the 3rd game a shot?

Penny, you do realize that Daxter is supposed to be an unlikable asshole, right? There is a reason no one takes him seriously. I say this mostly because you and especially commenters treat Jak 2 as having some kind of "early 2000s misogyny" when really, that whole era of writing would not bother writing Daxter, it would treat these things as the norm rather than the ramblings of a guy the game beats on and makes fun of consistently. Wonder why anyone you are actually supposed to respect never acts like this? Simple, cause it's Daxter being a prick, the character Andy Gavin (iirc) said was the hero you don't wanna be. Not exactly a role model. Like, I don't wanna throw out "media illiteracy" here but you're making it a bit hard. I mean I'm not gonna pretend it's some progressive masterpiece, but I'd argue it's honestly more than what some other series did and still do. Hell, Seem's gender ambiguous in 2004, for a supposedly canonical female character. That's basically the exact opposite of what you'd expect from a game supposedly enabling misogyny.

Wow some people do not have braincells in these comments im so sorry penny..you were real as fuck for everything you said about these games!

Jak shows attraction.SnapCube :eww…lol

Jak just has...0 charisma as a speaking protagonist. it was a mistake to let him talk lmao

The misogyny in jak II is....wowee.

“I would assume that the majority of this weird disjointedness doesn’t have anything to do with the compilation itself but is just the structure of the game” how on EARTH can you say that with a straight face?

I love Penny, but pointing out the obviously now-cringey 2000's-era dialogue every time it happened got very annoying very quickly.

I feel like every time they put a woman on the screen after the first dirty reference, penny is just waiting to complain about the jokes of the time in the game. We get it.... Its not your cup of tea, its annoying when you go off about it every. Single. Time.

Mad Cuz Bad
