Jak 3 on April 26th

After about a couple of years, I resumed my second play-through Jak 3.  I finally got back to the mission where Jak and Damas were breaking through the ruins to get to the catacombs.  Jak has to break down these small blue towers to open the force-field doors.  It would usually take two or more to turn off the force field.  This mission was frustrating because I had to have Jak watch out for the Dark Precursors shooting at his vehicle, AND the missiles landing near or on him if I wasn’t careful.  I played through this game once already; I wasn’t going to just stop there when I knew there would only be two more missions left after this.  This was near the end of the game!

The mission after that featured riding through the catacombs in these yellow cars.  The mission is short but there are obstacles abound in this stage.  It took me a while and many of Jak’s deaths to realize that I can shoot at the obstacles so they won’t damage the car Jak rides in.  There are also two lasers that go around in a circle; these can take out half of the catacomb vehicle’s energy (or another way to put it is, it damages the car so much that two or three hits will totally destroy the car.  That happened to me twice and then I thought, “Oh, so that‘s what happens when I touch those lasers.  Okay Jak, stay away from those completely!”

The mission in the catacombs was shorter than I remembered, but as short as it was, there was so much trial and error to utilize until I got through the course.   Next is the scene/plot, and then the final mission: to destroy this…big…spider-crossed-with-a-dinosaur robot thing that Cyborg Errol rides into the Wasteland desert and towards the city of Spargus. 

Huh…Cyborg Errol…maybe I should write a short post about him in Cybernetic Dreams.

It was so funny, I was at the final FINAL boss of the game, and then I had to start from the beginning of this last mission…and then I was told that dinner was ready.  F@#K!  XD   Oh well, at least I just had that one more mission to go.  I’d have to finish it another time.

Edit:  Finished Jak 3…Again ^_^  April 29th

I watched the last scenes of the game like it was for the fisrt time.  I lost the data to this game when I accidentally corrupted my PS2 memory card that had Jak 3’s data.  That was back in 2006.  Now it’s been five and a half years and I watched it again and was in awe with how the story wrapped up.
