I'm already something like 46% through Jak. For a game of its nature, it's pretty short.

I forgot how nonlinear it could be. I think the last time I played this game, I mostly cleared out the areas in order. But you could, for example, completely skip Misty Island and even do the swamp before the Precursor Basin.

I got every orb in Rock Village, which I didn't do before. So, I went back to my old file and got a few more orbs. Did I guess I could have been missing as many as 40 orbs? That was a huge overestimate. Now I'm only missing 6 in that file (the 1 in the Snowy Mountains, and 5 in the Jungle)

After getting the rock village orbs, I also got 4 from the final Zoomer tunnel (that was easy; they were near the beginning, on a slope I just never used for some reason) and six from Spider Cave (they were all clumped together in two steel chests; I only had to reach them with the yellow power up, which also wasn't too difficult).

I have looked through the Jungle several times, and still have no idea where any other orbs could be. I also am missing 5 in my newer file I started tonight, so they're probably the same.

Of course, if I don't find them, I won't worry about it. I've already seen the crappy secret ending.
