It's fine if it's in good humor and doesn't become gratuitous but for some reason the way Jbot said it pisses me off a little.

I mean, there's like a million more subtle ways to pretend to be racist. Why go straight for the N word? It's just 'Oh this is the internet and I can do this' juvenile.

Now no more of you cream crackers discussing this unless darkies actually appear in either game series. I wouldn't know about that because apparently I lacked a fulfilling childhood.

There's just no way for me to have fun without you ruining it, you *pfft* NIGGER.

*gasp!* He said the N word!

Watch out guys, we have a badass over here.

Someone catch me, I'm about to faint from the shock.

Guess it's up to me to bring thread back on topic then.
Anyway, one thing annoying as hell about the R&C games is that they, the ones I've played at least, force replays upon completionists such as myself with absurdly difficult skill points. I'd actually be fine with this system if it didn't force me to play the same game 20 times.
Storywise, I may be alone in this view but it annoys me to no end that both series decided to incorporate time travel. There's no place for traveling to the past in a logically consistent fictional universe imo

I've 100%ed #3, and got damn close with 1 and 2. I can't think of any skill points you couldn't get in your first playthrough, even if some of them aren't really feasible until challenge mode. The only skill points that you might be quicker in many Challenge Mode playthroughs would be ones that involve buying things, because the arena rewards reset in each new game.

I'm pretty sure Sig is the only dark-skinned character in the entire Jak series, and even then he's not really black.
Are you kidding? Sig was totally black. It was Phil LaMarr doing his best impression of an actual black person.

Phylum 05-04-2013 05:24 PM

Yeah, but his skin tone is more of a dark olive ordeal. He's definitely black at heart.

The first few games weren't too hard to 100% but I clearly remember at least one of the latter installments where it is impossible to get every skill point on the first playthrough.
