Ratchet and Daxter
Nov. 24th, 2004 05:25 pmI finished R+C:UYA, and started in on Jak 3. Jak 3 seems to have a lot more Daxter in it, or at least a lot more Daxter-as-a-controllable-character. It also seems to be really fricking hard, just like Jak 2 was (I never managed to get through 2, I got about 2/3rds and then got stuck trying to defend the stupid tree guy while he prayed to his stupid tree). Someone put it best, "It gives you infinite lives, and then tries to make you use them all."
The Dune Buggy sequences might not be the worst offenders of that -- they have a pretty generous health bar and time allotments, at least so far -- but they're annoying. The dune buggies' physics might be realistic, I really wouldn't know, but it certainly isn't predictable. You can be driving over a flattish patch of sand and suddenly spin out for no reason, or flip over onto your back in the middle of a jump because... because... I don't know. Stupid Dune Hopper.
None of the missions have been annoying enough to make me give up on it yet, but that's not too surprising -- I'm kind of near the beginning still.
