Took me forever to finish that mission too until I found out by a happy chance, that if I used the Dark Bomb on the waters surface, I could disable that underwater sentry gun and then use the jetboard to avoid all the guards
It's actually not that difficult. Most important part to remember, is that the guards are less likely to hit you, if they are off camera. All you have to do is use the yellow gun, kill the guards in front of you then the few behind you, then move forward. Rinse and repeat. Blue gun also works, but I usually use it at the end of the mission, as I usually run out of ammo otherwise.
@@MysteryMouseketoolIt's best to stick to just the blue gun. If you mosey around the docks for a little while just killing guards to refill ammo before actually attempting the mission, every single ammo drop from guards will be all be blue, as long as you have every other gun's ammo fully maxed out to full capacity.
IMHO, the game’s hardest mission is using the Gunpod at the docks, especially at the start. The gun not only overheats fast, it’s also inverted horizontally, so it functions like wank. It never helps that Jetpack guards may sometimes cheese you by hiding underneath the railing, so they can pelt you with no consequence.
Good video man. The blue gun is hands down the best gun in the game, it just takes getting used to, as the roll/roll jump move goes really well with the blue gun. Too bad they don't explicitly tell you how to do it, as most go by the game not ever doing it which is sad.
I discovered that move by mistake, skills! Most people stick with the yellow blaster spin jump shot. But I found that technique to be boring and redundant if used too much.
@@ItsTheZigManthe reflector version in jak 3 was awesome as fuck tho 😂 , jak 3 guns were all pretty fun challenging yourself to do missions with only one mod n stuff like that
Race with errol and escaping the slums made me rage hard as fuck as a child 😂😂 screaming at the TV trying for a few days on both missions when I got to em like fuck , and I was playing ninja Gaiden at the time
@andrew-rn9ui I remember making it to the very end of the dock only to get shot in the back before the cutscene and Save logo. The amount of frustration, I tell ya. With Jak II, if it ain’t perfect, it ain’t it!
So right! I personally hate when platformer games force you to race to advance. I'm not good at racing games and it's a struggle everytime. Jak, Sly, and Ratchet & Clank are all guilty of it too.
This is a great video. I think modding with OpenGOAL will make this game a lot more accessible to gamers that aren't complete masochists, especially when people can un-botch the atrocious checkpoint system lol. However, I think Jak II's gameplay will always resonate more with people that enjoy roguelikes and other similarly difficult genres that thrive on repeating segments until you master them. The countless bottomless pits, low health, and hordes of enemies throughout the game just seems to scratch a specific itch for me that few games have replicated.
I found it enjoyable after getting hero mode and getting all dark powers and having dark giant jak and took out the metal head leader out easy. But its still easier without having hero mode, so long as I had giant jak, otherwise it would take me a few trys before I beat him.
I beat Jak 2, and I'm pretty bad at video games. I beat 1 as well. I never beat 3. The final boss and all the platforming were super easy, but I couldn't beat like 3 mini games and the car part of the terraformer.
