Jak and Daxter/YMMV

"Aww, I broke this one. Still hungry--time for more meat-snacks!"
 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: The first three Jak games are getting an HD makeover.
 * Angst? What Angst? -.
 * Best Boss Ever: The Final Boss of The Precursor Legacy
 * Big Lipped Alligator Mission: There's a mission in Jak 3 where Daxter gets sucked into a computer and has to play a Pac-Man style game to find a MacGuffin. It evidently wasn't supposed to be that much of a stretch, since the character who put him into the computer was one with the computer himself, but Daxter's whole body getting sucked through the screen?
 * Cliché Storm: One of the biggest complaints with TLF.
 * Complaining About Games You Don't Play: First happened with Jak X because of the genre change, then with TLF because High Impact Studios is "ruining" it.
 * Contested Sequel: TLF, partly due to the above, partly for not having anything to do with the previous games.
 * To be fair, the trilogy did, in fact, end.
 * Crowning X of Y:
 * Moment of Awesome: Jak vs. Floating War Factory. Jak wins.
 * Funny Moments: Several, but Jak 3's Reveal probably takes the cake.
 * Heartwarming Moment: The "find my son" scene from Jak 3, followed by a true testament to Daxter's friendship.
 * Also: "I'm proud of ya, Dax."
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: Plenty of examples, but Jak II's final boss music is tops.
 * Complete Monster: Kor, the Metal Head leader. He engaged in a siege against Haven City for decades just to get the Precursor Stone Mar hid inside, so he could  And that's not even counting the numerous atrocities he committed in the process.
 * Baron Praxis and Count Veger also fit this trope.
 * Draco in Leather Pants: Erol in the second game.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Jinx only appeared in three or four missions, and we didn't see him at all outside of them. Why does he have so many fangirls?
 * Naughty Dog must have caught on, since he got a much bigger role in Jak 3.
 * Evil Is Sexy: Razer is all over this.
 * And in the first game, say what you will about Maia, but unlike her brother, the Dark Eco didn't seem to do anything negative to her body...
 * Fan-Preferred Couple: Jak/Ashelin for those who want to see The Hero get with the hot Badass chick.
 * Follow the Leader: It is by no mere coincidence that Jak II was made considerably darker than its predecessor and was released around the time people would just be finishing up Vice City and needing something to placate their sandboxing fix. The first game is also a blatant Super Mario 64 clone, but it's more forgivable than most due to the game's absolutely exquisite presentation.
 * Generic Doomsday Villain:
 * Goddamned Boss:
 * Good Bad Bugs: The barriers in Jak II give you an interesting one: until you get a Security Pass, no one can get through... including the Krimzon Guard.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: Jak 3 takes place largely in a desert setting. Guess where the third Uncharted is taking place...
 * It's Easy, So It Sucks: Some people complained that TPL fit this trope, but Jak II certainly shut them up.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Count Veger
 * Mis Blamed: Many fans hate High Impact because of TLF, even though the game's writers work for Naughty Dog and the scriptwriter is the same one that did the rest of the series.
 * Most Wonderful Sound: The roar of your Dark Eco maxing out in Jak X. Hell yeah. Also the charging noise of the Wave Concussor.
 * Moral Event Horizon: When exactly Baron Praxis crossed it is up for debate, but it's widely accepted that he crossed it.
 * For Jak 3, you easily could replace "Baron Praxis" with "Count Veger" in the above statement, though many point to his.
 * That's more of a Kick the Dog, though, but because it's combined with Player Punch, it feels like a crossing. His real crossing point came years before, when he
 * In TLF,
 * Nightmare Fuel: The Lurker Shark in the first game, and the Kraken tentacle in the third.
 * first appearance. First, this unseen, deep voice says, "Finally! The last Rift Gate has been opened!" and several freaky creatures that look like giant insects come through the portal, followed by some HUGE beast that roars loudly and says, "You cannot hide from me, boy!" I'm pretty sure anyone would shit themselves if something like that happened to them.
 * Dark Daxter, contrary to earlier reports, doesn't talk like the Hulk and seems to be of his usual intelligence. What makes this fit the trope is that Daxter is genocidal and bloodthirsty while dark, but everything he says sounds frighteningly in character.
 * The boulder chase in the Tomb of Mar in the second game that at first seems to be a Shout-Out to Crash Bandicoot. What really takes the scare factor Up to Eleven is when

 * Player Punch:  death makes you want to Kill Veger With Fire.
 * Rescued From the Scrappy Heap: The Hellcrap Cruiser went from being useless in Jak II to being instrumental in a certain mission in Jak 3.
 * Ship-to-Ship Combat: The aforementioned Jak/Keira and Jak/Ashelin shippers.
 * Tear Jerker:.
 * They Changed It, Now It Sucks: It seems this way to a few fans of the original Jak and Daxter, when Jak 2 changed everything.
 * They Just Didn't Care: Possibly the reason TLF's story wasn't on par with the rest of the series, despite having the same writers.
 * Or because it is simply impossible to top the sheer epicness of Jak 3.
