[edit] Pictures

I think that there should be two images here. One: Jak's appearance in the first game. Two: Jak's appearance in the second. Just to show how he's changed. We might do this with Keira too...--RedZion-- 8:13 May 10,2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia...

I think we should remove these sections. This will not help the reader alot, you know? The average reader would think "So what if the Krimzon Gaurds suck at shooting? Who cares?" Abby724 05:36, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Many gamers who unlock Hero Mode have cited the "Destroy Ship at Drill Platform" mission as the most difficult to complete in the entire game. Many see no way to beat it, short of using a GameShark or other cheat device. It is, however, completely possible to beat given enough tries.
  • Most Krimzon Guards seem to suffer from severe cases of the Stormtrooper effect. They are generally horrible marksmen, and most of the time wind up shooting everything else EXCEPT Jak and Daxter. On rare occasions, they even shoot other Krimzon Guards caught in crossfire!
The part about the KG being lousy shots should be removed, but the ship at drill platform is fine. Oh, and I notice you left the 'exciting' Jak II overview intact. RedZionX 09:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't I get breaks for helping wikipedia? I can't always edit everything at the same time anyway. Abby724 16:10, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

-.- never mind. And who added the 'memory of morgan' part? i'm going to remove that, because it does not seem to have any useful information contained in it. RedZionX 13:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Morgan was one of Naughty Dog's pet dogs. You can see that the game was dedicated to his memory when the credits starts to roll. Cat's Tuxedo 14:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Separate Bestiary Page

The main problem the keeps the Jak II and 3 pages from equaling the quality of The Precursor Legacy one is the insanely long list of enemies. I think that there should be a separate page for this, divided into 'Metal Heads' (Metal Rex, Metal Gunner, etc) 'Lurkers' (Lurker Commander, Lurker Dog) 'Krimzon Guards' (Grunt, Hellcat, etc) 'KG Deathbots' (Deathbot, Scout Drone, etc) 'Creatures' (Daggertongue Lizard, Spider).

Trivias are keeping Wikipedia games and movies alive,if you don't care about cool facts of the game that you didn't know about well that's your problem but don't ruin it for others —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.131.230.194 (talk) 01:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

In case you haven't noticed, this is an encyclopedia, not a listing place. Lists of weaponry and enemies belong in walkthroughs/FAQs, not in an informative article. RedZionX 17:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I'd like to help

I noticed something about the plot summary that irked me a little. It's best summed up by this line... Back at the Hideout, Torn reveals that he sold the Underground out, to prevent Praxis from killing Ashelin. All by itself, this is a good line. The problem is that this is the first time in the entire article that either Torn or Ashelin are mentioned. There is no explanation as to who Torn and Ashelin are, so no one reading the article (except those who have played the game, and they probably aren't looking for that information anyway) is going to know who they are or why they are relevant. I found similar problems with other characters, like Krew (first mentioned in the scene where he dies), Kor (first mentioned in the scene where he is revealed as the dark lord or the Metal Heads), and some other characters. I would like to try to fix this issue and others I found with the plot summary. But since what I'm proposing is a potentially major edit, I was hoping to get some feedback from those that have been developing and maintaining the article. I'll assume that silence means that no one objects. If you want and example of my work for an Idea of what I may do, compare the current plot summary of Jak 3 to what it was before I worked on it. By the way, I think that the plot summary of Jak 3 might still be too long, so if anyone can think of a way to shorten it any more, I contend that it will reduce your time in Purgatory.

It's been three days since I posted my proposal. I'll take silence as a sign that no one cares if I make the change. Larrythefunkyferret 04:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
