Jak II – A Post Game Conversation

Jak II – Part 5-2
Looks like the Baron plans to detonate a fantasy nuke, that will accidentally kill everything else including all the citizens of Haven City. We should probably stop that, but first, it's time for a race! https://youtu.be/2UKl4pOPvow Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud Chalk that race up to another mission I remember being...

Jak II – Part 4-3
