Get ready, my friends. This is the part where all of the big late-game plot twists for Jak 3 are revealed.
And a lot of them don’t make any sense.
Honestly, the plot twist that the Precursors are ottsels is probably the part of this series of reveals that makes the most sense. It’s the rest of it that stretches credulity, with Damas and Jak not knowing their obvious relation to each other, and the idea that the Precursors were ready and willing to pull a fast one on Jak and turn him into an ottsel before he realized what was happening to him. It’s a lot of strange behavior from characters who should have the facilities to know better.
But none of this is game-breaking, thankfully. These were just part of the growing pains that came from taking storytelling in video games more seriously. Clearly, the Naughty Dog of later console generations learned much from their earlier attempts in this one, as we’ll doubtlessly uncover when we return to the Uncharted games next week.
For now, stay tuned for the finale of Jak 3.
