1. Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy PS2 SCEA 70 8.5 90.2%

3. Jak 3 PS2 SCEA 64 8.5 85.5%
4. Jak X: Combat Racing PS2 SCEA 61 8.2 76.7%

 

If by sour you meant there hasn't been a PS3 variation yet, then ok.  Otherwise you are way off.

Blue3 has received a temporary ban for constant bad behavior.   He's had warnings about behavior, and has never acknowledged my posts or even my personal messages, so...yeah...3 day ban.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

For saying something that is clearly true? Why is it that people that say positive things about Sony get banned so easily? I guess all the ones on this forum are just that way...

IMO donkey kong didnt go sour. they just stopped making platformer games and instead went in the direction of making jungle beat and any other game using bongos or the new racing game featuring donkey kong characters. all nintendo needs to do is create a good platformer DK game for wii and it will be back. i have faith that nintendo could do it hands down

 And that's why he went sour.

You're right, Jak 2 and Jak 3 are not sour. In fact, all of the games I mentioned are not sour. Superman 64 is sour. However, I was right when I said that Jak 2 and Jak 3 are worse than Jak and Daxter. Is it a coincidence that each newer game in the Jak and Daxter franchise got a worse average score than the game before it? Games should be getting better, not worse. If this trend picks up, Jak 4 will likely get 73%.

Jak and Daxter didn't go sour at all... The rest I agree with and add to that Perfect Dark if two games is a series...



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Sure whatever he wrote might have been true, but if he wrote it in an bad way, then that is completely different.

For example:

"Playstation 2 achieved better sales than Gamecube and Xbox, because of its wider video game library, and strong third party support."

"Playstation 2 rocks. Only losers buy the Gamecube and Xbox. Gamecube and Xbox have no games at all. Everyone should buy Playstation 2. The rest just suck."

They both may be the truth (or at least in someone's opinion), but only the first sentence is acceptable. The other one is just idiotic.

 Well, I think parts of this thread do suck.  Jak dropping 5% may be "worse" but it's certainly not "sour" if you start with 90%.

Blue3 saying positive things? I wasn't aware of that. I see more of the "dumb Wii users" and comments like that. I'm all for him if he likes the PS3, but he constantly bashes opinions and just makes comments that do not help discussions at all. He may be "right" about this thread sucking, but it's more about his continuation of disruptive behavior.

He hasn't done anything seriously offensive, but he constantly makes such comments, and I've called him out on them more than once, and sent him a PM about it, and I never got a response. I'm forced to take that as meaning, "I hear you, and understand," and if he continued, he'd get a temporary ban. It's just 3 days, people.

He deserves it; I've been watching his forum behavior...respect the moderator's decisions.
