What if I still watch this and haven't played the games. Will I die?

Jak went from, "Nice to meet you sir" to "Your daughter calls me dad too"

Jak 2 is STILL the closest thing we have to a futuristic GTA.

Ah the beautiful memory of my father leaving me at four years old with a new PlayStation 2 with Jak and Daxter to start a new life

"Can we agree that the jumper car was the best in the game?" Subbed

"We need to move back to the country." *Banjo plays*

Me: "I loved Jak 2" *Watches video* "I remember none of this..." All I remember is Jak 3 apparently

a jak remake like they did with spyro

Jak: I'M GONNA KILL PRAXIS! Shadow: Whoa, take it down a DAMN notch!

oh my god i fucking love these games with one huge caveat: FUCK THE DOCKS MISSION

"that level" for me in jak 2 was when you ended up back in the city in the slums while the guards were on full alert chasing after you! hoooooooo boy

"I remember when they first invented Eco. Sweet Eco... I ALWAYS HATED IT!"

I remember on jak 2 one of my favorite things to do was get a hover car and change from low to high underneath the bikes, amd watch them ping away and explode. I swear im not a psychopath

My favorite thing to do within all 3 of these games was in 2 and 3 (but mainly 2) where you can shift up or down while flying gravity vehicles around the towns; moreover, flying the biggest one, shifting down, and then shifting up when you’re below the smaller bikes and watching them explode and then going on a full on rampage throughout the whole town until my vehicle finally exploded and the police inevitably introduced my demise, at which point I’d spawn and repeat for at least another 2 hours.

Seam "This isn't a game" Me: Wait a second I know that voice *quick Google* THAT'S TARA STRONG!

Real talk, I would pay full price if Jak 4 came out right now.

"That fricken area in the ghetto with the brown water and the boardwalks" I think everyone who has ever played this game knew what you were talking about without even watching the vid😂😂

Every mission in Jak 2 were “that level”

God, I miss this trilogy. It made my childhood so much better. "The Jak world was truly original because it created a universe with backstory and it felt like a far off distant adventure world of a younger kid's fantasy." "It makes you feel like you've popped into a world much more deep than your current story." We seem to have the same mind.

"Quiet, here comes pretty boy bout time you showed up"

"Screw it! If it ain't broke, don't fix it - here, have some SAND!!!"

I personally have never played jak but I still have a deep emotional connection to these games. My older brother was very inexpressive and almost mute when I was younger so even though as a child I adored him, we didn't do a lot of sibling things. One day he got a ps2 with jak and he would play it everyday and I would always watch. These games helped me connect with my brother in a way I couldn't before and I'll always be thankful for that. Now sorry to ruin the meme video but I wanted to talk about how this game really impacted me as a kid . edit: I cant spell names apparently

“Baby’s 1st GTA” is a fantastic description for Jak II😂

Jak 2 was so innovative and amazing, I would have been so disappointed as a kid had I bought it and it be just the same as the first.

"Even though Naughty Dog has moved on to bigger, more sad, and depressing things."

My question to you all is: Which will come first, Jak 4 or Half-Life 3?

I loved this trilogy so much. My mom got me and my brother Jak2 on PlayStation 2 when we were kids, fell in love with the world. It’s suuuper nostalgic now.

Someone has probably mentioned it before, but Jak’s first spoken words being “I’m going to kill praxis” has the double meaning that he’s ending the “praxis” of the old silent protagonist, replaced by his new edgy personality. There’s also the doing away with the collectathon gameplay too, it’s kinda cool

I'm so glad this popped up in my recommended videos. This was a blast. Great video, great channel, great games.

I still remember when I got Jak 3 but didn't have a memory stick.. So my brothers and I did our best to baby the playstation while keeping it on 24/7 until we could get a card. I remember we *freaked out* whenever the power cut out shortly. I'd played through at least a quarter of it and we believed it was gone but we noticed the playstation never cut out! That was probably the biggest audible sigh of relief I've ever heard from us three And I always find it funny that even though my youngest brother hasn't ever really played games he loved this game and freaked just as big as my middle brother and I cause he liked watching but also REALLY wanted to try out the new vehicles Probably one of my most ridiculous and innocent video game memories I've got

Excellent writing, delivery, and editing. Very well done.

Jak 2 was so annoying to play as a kid who didn't know what to do and had nothing else to do. But it was quite fun from time to time. The worst part was that dock part, where you had to run and there was like a million guns pointed at you. Like wtf is that level?

I think Keira was sidelined in Jak 3 because her original actor left and was replaced with Tara Strong. So, they didn't give her a lot of lines because they were afraid people would notice and respond negatively.

We don't talk about _The Lost Frontier._ Jak X was pretty lit though.

Brooo going for a ride into the desert and your buggy gets totaled then you had to trek back 🙆🏾‍♂️

Jak II was by far my favourite. It took everything great about the original and added in so much more. It felt almost like two games worth of gameplay in one. Jak III by contrast just felt like more of the same but with one new vehicle and some new areas. It feels like an extended DLC package rather than a full game in its own right. It's still good, mind. But I think it could've been truly great if they had more than a single year to get it out. And yeah, switching the romantic subplot away from Keira in the third game felt weird and pointless. Glad they rectified it in Jak X.

I came here for one thing and I got it. The 4th wall break reference. I think of that scene everything I hear someone say "this isn't a game"

Jak 3 was really fun back in the day when it came out. However after beating it a few times it's too short and way to easy of a game. This made Jak 3 a game that I don't replay as much anymore. I've beaten Jak 2 more times than Jak 3 and I find it to be way more fun since it is challenging. Jak 2 is the best game in the series. Best story, the gameplay changed a ton, the most challenging, and the most interesting.

okay but the series' best minigame was catching fish in jak and daxter

I always just assumed the Dark Eco turned Jak into another monster, or something far worse, and the fade out was to leave his ultimate fate up to your imagination.

>favorite Naughty Dog franchise Did you just beome my favorite youtuber? Did we just become best friends?

Crash Bandicoot (N. Sane Edition) comes out >>>>> *i sleep* (-_-) Jak Trilogy Remasterd PS4 comes out >>>> *REAL SHIT* (0_0)

"The payoff isn't as good 'cause they keep moving the goalpost. Ya feel?" Nothing has ever described Jak 3 better. I've always maintained that that Jak 3's game play is the best in the series. But the plot suffers as it progresses through the game. Strong at first, but convoluted by the conclusion.

The mission I hated the most in the entire trilogy was operating the turret of that blue vehicle in Haven City in Jak 3. To this day it is the bane of my existence.

Jak 2 was my favorite because it was difficult. The checkpoints made it so if you failed a mission, one of your siblings (who had been bragging and harassing and back seat gaming you the entire time) wanted to play (and you switch off missions because there's a lot of you) then they could.

Jak X's soundtrack had queens of the Stone age in the intro. The song is "You think I ain't worth a dollar, but I feel like a millionare" or "millionare" for short

After tess got turned into an ottsol, daxters pants came right off. if ya know what i mean.

Damn ashlynn is what got me into redheads at that time.I had such a crush on her when i was 8

So about Jak being Mar, there was never any actual confirmation, but the theory states that Jak is his own ancestor ala the grandfather paradox, and is The Mar.

That one mission... Fuck that one mission

In my opinion Jak 3 is a top 5 game of all time.

I love your style of commentary! 😁❤️ It’s well thought-out, captivating & pretty funny (without becoming over-the-top cringy)

I assume Seem is a chick cuz she's voiced by Tara Strong and is essentially Raven so yeah.

The Next for beginners will be on Nier Automata But for now, have some good old yelling

Meh, in my opinion 1 was by far the best and I wish they had expanded on that rather than pulling a 180° on the series. I think the Sly Cooper franchise is a shining example of taking a good game and building off of what worked and fixing what didn't.

i religiously watch this video every so often and i still love it like it was the first time i saw it

Wait... Jak isnt THE MAR?! WTF

Keira and Ashelyn .... woof woof

Uh it’s called a health pretzel I’ll have you know... 🥨

Sooooo I just so happen to see this on the side suggestions from a random video from Meg Turney.. and... I was not dissapointed. Your narration and editing coupled with a both polite and critical (with humor) review of a game I literally grew up on, loved, and still have to this day -- gonna make me look at your other vids and subscribe.

I would much rather have a prequel about Mar

12:40 Jak: "I'm gonna KILL PRAXIS!" Auto-generated captions: "I'm gonna kill Christ" o_O

I just stumbled across this channel and I have to say, I love your voice and comedic timing, SuperButterBuns. Definitely subscribing.

29:36 Although Damas does give him the name Mar after their supposed ancestor, the Precursors actually do hint at the end of the game that Jak will have adventures in the past. That's why Ashelin asks if he's the original Mar and why at the end of Jak II, Samos said he had a feeling they would meet Mar.

16:30 I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD TROUBLE WITH THAT DAMN MISSION!! Took me FOREVER!!

OH MY GOD, YOU'RE HILARIOUS AND YOUR VOICE IS SO EXPRESSIVE, WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF YOU BEFORE NOW, DAMN YOU KZfaq AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Jaks audience grew up, becoming more mature, so did the game. Im so happy with were they went with jak 2 and 3.

Jak 2 was awesome, some good memories with that game. Loved the open city, so much to see and do and was always different, ah nostalgia

Still some of the best games, trilogies and platformers, ever. Really makes me wish NDI would release another Jak game on PS4. This was like on Mario's level of platforming goodness, except Jak always had a better story, graphics, characters, gameplay, features, audio and more.

Your editing and review skills are beyond flawless. Im dying of laughter and getting a good grasp of the trilogy.

This is so phenomenally done! Awesome writing, awesome voicework, and awesome editing. Overall, a fantastic breakdown of some damn good classics ^__^

This is the first video I’ve seen on this channel and I love it. The delivery and editing is fantastic, and the review was spot on. Love this series

At least keira gets with him in Jak X

“Or Daxter’s omniscient perspective” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Your review of the jak series was great and hilarious! You got yourself a new subscriber :D

I finish Jak III in 50 hours. (67/600 precursor orbs) Jak and Daxter: Precursor Legacy in 20 hours. (101/100 precursor cells 2000/2000 precursor orbs)

Jak3 was so damn good

Prince Of Persia will always hold the award for most drastic sequel tone shift

Everything in this video is on point. One of the best videos of yours I've seen. You know what, I've been watching your stuff as it gets recommended to me over the past few months, but you got yourself a new subscriber.

"Here, have some sand" *Darth Vader wants to know you're location*

"baby's first GTA" XD

When I played Jack III, I realized something. The enemies and scenarios in Jack III are WAY thougher than the ones in Jack II, it's just that the new upgrades they give you between light jack and the higher upgrade guns are just so broken it prevents these much tougher enemies and scenarios from actually being a challenge. So, they quadruple the enemies capabilities and the complexity of the scenarios, and then increase your capabilities by X20. Thus, it actually becomes a lot easier. However, this is where you have prime fertile ground for a challenge playthrough. So, I played through the game with everything that was new to Jack III banned with the exception of light-jack powers, dark Jack invisibility, and dark Jack [wall breaker bomb] that could be used ONLY in places where they were required in order to clear an obstacle but not to assist in combat in any way. On top of that, once you start to get health upgrades, you have to suicide the moment you take 8 points of damage. I cleared that challenge playthrough, it was tough as nails, and it was one HELL of a lot of fun! There was one truly unfair point though in the sewer mission right after you get that gyro stalker upgrade (3rd tier for the yellow gun.) One part of that sewer mission was actually designed to be the one place in the game where that gun was required. I considered unbanning it several times just for the sake of passing that section. However, I kept the ban and somehow managed to make it through anyway after dying about a million times. Yeah... I must have been a freaking masochist to have put myself through that. But, it was worth it, because now I have bragging rights! (Seriously though, if anyone wants to try the challenge playthrough I just described, the gyro-stalker is un-banned for that one room in the sewer. You don't have to be as much of an idiot as I was. I think the rule should be that you are allowed to fire it twice per life in that room only.)

I cannot remember the past time I laughed this much with any video commentator/comedian. Your woman, are amazing!

Since the KZfaq comment section is kinda crap, I'm gonna throw out some complements. I thought this video was good. Thank you Buns for making it. (And now I sit and wait for people to reply with unnecessary hate)

I liked light jak wings ♡.♡

"Hey, let's talk about the Jak series." Fans: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I keep coming back to watch this video about every other month. I enjoy it so much.

Did Shadow just pump that M16

The only thing I absolutely dread about Jak 2 I that racing mission in Haven City with Earol. That mission made me want to punch a small child. Other than that still my favorite jak game just to many good memories.

I love your videos and your sense of humor. It's so close to mine that I laugh it up after every joke you make. Thanks for all your hard work! Definitely subscribing!

I just binged watched 3 hours of your content. It's awesome!

I believe part of the reason Keira wasn't included more in the 3rd game was because the voice actor from the first two games didn't return and they didn't want to highlight the change.

In my opinion I think you critiqued a limit too harshly. Jak 2 was mostly accurate of what you said, but I enjoyed using dark Jak as a last resort, it was hard as fuck to fill that meter and that was the point, that against all odds you are the one to win which I thought was done well. He didn't need much innovativeness because he was so strong it spoke for itself. Whereas in Jack 3 you have both light and dark with different abilities: essentially offense and defense. Which goes along with fighting multiple types of enemies and different types of missions to utilize both sides. As for the guns in Jak 3 they all had their uses, and everyone has a favorite weapon of course, but it's meant to be the way it was for diversity, if you're expecting to have all guns shoot multiple rounds and have good strength you could literally use one weapon, I loved Both and thought 3 was done well all around, just my opinion

I’m late but this was an amazing, entertaining, detailed and well thought out analysis. Best 35 minutes I’ve spent on KZfaq in awhile, thank you :)

I think each game got progressively better. I was playing these in middle school back in the day and it was a perfect trilogy after spending the turn of the century on Crash Bandicoot. Each Jak release came with new and improved mechanics, and the dune buggy in 3 is so fun. I’d even argue that the Jak racing game was solid AF as well.

28:33 Literally everyone's reaction to this moment 😂

OMG You hit the nail on the head with this review/yell/rant/thing! As someone who played the Jack series a lot, I found myself nodding in agreement along with your points and laughing at the jokes that were too real for anyone who played the series. You did such a fantastic job with this! Not to mention you have a great speaking (and yelling) voice and the editing was simple/effective and you're funny and cool and omg are you single please be single

No matter how many times I watch this video it never gets old

Usually when I trip over an excellent video like this so long after it was posted, the channel in question has since died. I am SO HAPPY then to find out your channel is still thriving. Subbed & excited to watch your other videos

Yup.. This series was probably my favorite of all time. I was just old enough to really get sucked into story, have fun with violence and open-world stuff was new to me. I would play Jak 2 and 3 so much, I'd sometimes dream about them! I got a strategy guide for it and it came with this kickass poster.
