Experience the incredible exploits of Jak and Daxter as the duo sets out to explore ancient lands while they try to unravel the mysteries of the Precursors. Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II, Jak 3, and Jak X: Combat Racing will be available on PS4 via download on the PS Store later this year.
The PS2 still took plenty of inspiration from the arcade, leading to a lot of frustration over ottsels, stunts, and, uh, hands of God.
Out of the games on that list, I've beaten:
Maximo
God of War II (but on PS3)
Jak II
Stuntman
In 2003, nobody expected a "serious" game From Naughty Dog. But that's exactly what we got with Jak II.
Because they weren't caught up in political crap and Social Engineering, because it was a different time back then, more creative. Now it's about catering to everyone's woke views
1. Everything is or can be political. Literally everything.
2. It's the game they wanted to make... In case it isn't blaringly obvious, Druckmann based The Last of Us Part II on the Israel-Palestine conflict (which was part of his childhood).
It's not about social engineering. It is about telling a compelling story for Naughty Dog. Just because older games are less overt in their depictions doesn't make it less political.
And please, spare me the conspiracy theories of "social engineering". If we go with a hyper-political game like The Last of Us Part II, the extent of social engineering that occurs are narrative elements that, based on the events of the game, you feel very strongly about. Manipulating your emotions? Yes. But that's a plot device. It's a very divisive game and people have mixed feelings about the presence of characters like Abby and Lev, missing the huge theme in the need to end the cycle of violence. Druck is a bit of a hypocrite with his recent social media activity, but the message of the game and strong narrative elements get overlooked because Ellie is gay and there's a trans character. Calling it woke because it acknowledges women can be the main character, gay people exist, and trans people exist is just ridiculous.
Take it down the memory lane with this ultimate list of the best PlayStation 2 games of all time. Just the best of the best right here.
It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.
Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.
But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.
Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol
Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX
are some of my all times favorites missing on that list
I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.
The greatest console of all time !!!!
The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.
Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.
It will always be my favourite.
Wow, this came out of nowhere! Awesome games, even Jak X is a lot of fun.
Please bring parts 1,2,3 and the Jax X
I loved these games.
sounds good to me
If you own Jak & Daxter on PS3 shouldn't we get it free on PS4? The Game Journey did that and it was awesome of them! I don't wanna rebuy a game I already bought.
I would be happy for a new Jak & Daxter game. They should do what insomniac did with the Rachet & Clank
