    The idea of green eco surging through the water to keep oxygen levels regulated is probably the best thing I’ve heard to explain this stuff.

    These are the most relaxing and pleasant videos I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch about the mysteries of my favorite game. Your voice along with the beautiful OST contributes to a feeling of well being for me as someone who struggles with day to day anxiety. I find this very healing.

    Bro I really hope you continue this series. Its so refreshing to see jak content in 2022. As much as I love jak 2 and 3, I really wish they would have built upon this world instead of sending you into the future. Even though it’s technically the same world, they couldn’t be more different.

    • @derrinmaloney1039
      @derrinmaloney1039  Před 2 lety

      Couldn't agree more, my dream sequel would be a re-do where they build upon the old world and flesh out eco powers, new depth to gameplay etc - but mostly I just want to get lost in a lot of Precursor places 😂

      If only they built upon it and created a fully-realised world from it all 😭
      Those islands are from a cut content map that was found in the files of Jak II, probably just a scrapped idea for the sequels locations or an employee messing around but I like to theorise about it anyway 😁

    So i know this is a 3 month old video, but i genuinely thank you for making this series, as jak and daxter, specifically precursor legacy was one of the only games i played growing up as a late stage ps2 player. I always had questions about the precursors, the ruins, everything the game DIDNT tell us, all the lore and mysteries. So i thank you for giving them, in a way, answers. I hope this series continues but i understand its a niche topic. Just wanted to comment that, hope you have a good day/night, and greetings from the cursed land of Michigan!

      The series is definitely continuing, but I take my time with it as it's something I just do out of love for the series and I'm juggling other projects too ^^
      But the next episode (Boggy Swamp) is definitely coming sooner or later 😁

    Honestly, when I first saw the lost precursor city… it really really didn’t look like a city to me lol
    It looked more like a series of labs or even an underwater power plant to me
    Either way, small me playing this for the first time was super sad to find out that I wasn’t gonna find any underwater villagers in there anytime soon 😭
    Small me was like “where are all the underwater people at?”
