can't wait to play the sequel and I hope it doesn't become a shitty heist movie for kids with open world hubs and a huge focus on minigames and forces me to play as the hippo and the turtle half the time

>can't wait to play the sequel

You're in for a legitimate masterpiece. Sly 2's one of the greatest games of all time.

>>714622739 (OP)
OP... that's exactly what the sequel becomes.
I'm afraid it will be everything you feared.

Is Sly the most forgotten scrimblo?

>>714624729
Wow, how could he have predicted that anon. It's as if he knew already!

>>714622739 (OP)
This is a Crash game with stealth elements

>>714624889
that's kino in my book

>>714624857
I just wanted to confirm it to him, so he doesn't have to be shocked when he finds out.

>>714624848
People do remember sly, so no.
Also OP, the heists of 2 are kino and Bentley is fun to fuck around with, fuck you.

>>714622739 (OP)
Fucking awesome music. I'd be fine if the gameplay changes. I just hope they keep the same accent for Carmelita

>>714625054
What was with the changes in Carmelita's VA? Has anyone addressed that?

>>714624889
It's my personal Crash 4.

>>714624620
>This
Sly 2 is pure kino and dancing with Carmelita made 9 year old me feel like a giga chad. I do wish it was 100% Sly gameplay though, I never want to play as Bentley or Murray

>>714622739 (OP)
2 and 3 are better, seethe.

>>714622739 (OP)
Yeah, it would be a shame if the sequel had soul to it. I only play soulless games myself like Nu Crash and Spyro.
>>714624848
That would be Blinx, I'm afraid.

>>714625451
Not 3

>>714625693
3's problem is most of the story and certain side character's missions, but the core gameplay is great. Plus, the ending that in no way is retconned by a theoretical 4th game is kino.

>>714624620
Sly 2 is legendary. Was my first Sly game too. After that had to get third one too and only then the first one. I enjoyed all of them but nothing beats the second one imo. Third is the second best and then 1 though maybe part of the reason is the fact that 2 was my first one and i so used to how characters looked in that and 3 compared to the first Sly where they kinda looked more younger, something about Murray especially pissed me off how he looked in it. Also probably the fact first Sly had no Finnish dub at all which i also got used to a lot.

a stealth based collectathon platformer is a really goddamn great idea that was only attempted once and was forever whisked away by the trends of the time shifting to narrative shit games.
2 is a good game, but it just feels tedious because you are looking at the same environments, doing kinda whatever minigames, while looking at the same kind of environemnt for like 1 or 2 hours every chapter. and almost EVERY chapter is so dreary and gloomy. hate 3 all you want but at least those chapters feel far more dynamic and a lot more colorful

>>714624620
Based. Sly 1 is good, but Sly 2 is just fucking next level

carmelita?

>>714624848
>Blinx, Scaler, Zapper, Vexx, Vince, Tak, Tempo, Sparkster
I would include Ty, but Krome Studios are not only still around, but they still make post for the series too.

>>714624620
Literally the only flaw in Sly 2 is that there's no mission replay. Other than that it's a perfect game

>>714626574
Clock-la is kinda stupid.

>>714625787
>the fucking Cooper Vault
Such a great moment, seeing the personal treasures of the most prominent members, the music, the platforming, and Sly learning one last trick from his old man.

I was quite surprised when the wimpy hippo in the first game suddenly became the muscle of the team in the second

>>714626986
Murray personality wise is pretty drastically drifferent in each game

>>714627107
I like his character arc
>Wimpy guy that gets his shit together
>Overcompensating strong guy who gets fucked mentally and emotionally
>Finding the balance to be his true self
Then 4 went way too far and made him insecure and a joke character again because... reasons.

both ratchet 2 and jak 2 added (more) combat to the formula and other stuff but they were still platformers
sly 2 replaced most of it with short gimmicky missions and a crapton of cutscenes and binocucom bullshit
that's a fact you can't refuse, someone expects the sequel to be more of the same but better and here they took a big dump on the first game and what made it so good

>>714627307
*refute

>>714627261
>I WILL FLOSS MY TEETH WITH YOUR SPINE
Murray's most kino moment.

>>714627307
While true, the formula they replaced it with carved a unique identity instead of adding more guns like Jak and quite honestly a lot of platformers were doing.

>>714624889
More like spyro on legs with auto-platforming

>>714627404
>on legs
on two legs*

>>714626986
in 2 years he stopped being a pussy and learned how to use the muscles that were always there

>>714622739 (OP)
CLOCKWORK IS SUPERIOR

>>714622739 (OP)
sly 1 has a huge focus on mini games. one of the boss fights is a rhythm game and the final boss is an on rails shooter for most of the fight.

>>714622739 (OP)
What a shit platformer
can't wait to play the sequel and I hope it does become a kino heist movie for all ages with open world hubs and a huge focus on minigames and forces me to play as the hippo and the turtle half the time

A lot of people havent played Sly 2 recently, it seems.
Sly 1 is better

>>714628648
>play demo as a kid
>loved it but never got the full game
>play the full game as an adult
>love it
>play Sly 2
>my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

>>714627261
>have him near constantly eating in cutscenes because HA HA FAT
>his idle animation is him pulling out a broccoli, smelling it, and finding it nasty because HA HA, FAT
>have him become a depressed slump because he can't climb ONE wall
4 did him and nearly everyone dirty.

>>714624848
No, that would be Ty the Tasmanian tiger.

Sly 3 was such a huge let down after the first two. I think a big part of it was because they replaced voice actors. The level designs also felt very mediocre and flat compared to 2's worlds.

>>714628648
Probably because a bunch of trannies on youtube started pushing Sly a few years ago and now the fruits of that are starting to show as gen Z and A are getting into/pretending to be into the game now.

>>714622739 (OP)
>want to replay sly 1
>Remember that the remaster version lazily borked the rhythm sequences during the Mz.Ruby boss fight.
I refuse to play that game again until someone fixes it.

>>714630397
PCSX2 version works fine

>>714629848
>>714627261
i think you guys memory-holed how shitsarzu made him crossdress in 4. several times.

>>714628648
I played through all of them again fairly recently.
2 > 1 > 3 > 4
1 is very basic and doesn't actually do much with the premise of being a stealthy thief, and it has even more intrusive minigames than 2 does

>>714630397
you're a fake sly fan for not having a PS2, but PCSX2 fixed most if not all of the issues with sly 1.

>>714630090
>they replaced voice actors
Outside of Carmelita, no they didn't

>>714630605
>Bentley says that Carmelita will have to belly dance
>Murray begs to be allowed to cross dress and dance himself
>As in begs the whole way through the cutscene while Carmelita is objecting
Every cutscene in that game is painful in one way or another

>>714630605
He did crossdress in Goodbye, My Sweet, and he only did it once in 4 during the fist level. He DID want to do the belly dancing, but Carm got forced to do it instead.

>>714624848
Dude, NO. There are SO many more fucking scrimblos. You have no idea how deep the dilated pore of Scrimblo goes.

>>714631123
It sent without the picture I attached.

>>714630705
My ps2's controller 1 port broke off. How do I fix it?

>>714630090
That's funny. I played those games with Finnish dubs (because Finnlad) and i'm surprised they kept the same voice actors which made me like Sly 3 almost just as much as 2. Fourth is the one where they decided to change Slys, Bentleys and Carmelitas voices. I honestly would have enjoyed that game a lot more had they kept the same voices but they didn't.

>>714631428
tape

This is one of those HD collections I wish they put on Steam. I used to have the disc on PS3 but its long gone.

>>714627307
>short gimmicky missions
That's like 1/3 of the missions in levels 1-4 in Sly 1, and 2/3 in level 5, and I'd definitely argue those ones are worse than 2's. That's just a fault with every Sly game.

>>714627307
Sly 2 is an evolution on Sly 1's formula.
Ratchet 2 changes the actual gameplay quite a bit by going full strafe shooting, prioritizing the gunplay/combat. In the first game the jet things you get towards the end are technically strafe enabling but they handle like shit in comparison to just how you play in 2/3/all other games.

Jak 2 is significantly less platforming than the first, any platforming serves to get to new people to shoot.

what kind of stupid name is clock-la? what were neyla and the devs thinking?

Unironically how would you innovate upon sly?

>>714634147
cut all the shitty minigames and there's nothing that needs to be innovated

>>714634147
That's a good question. A new movement option would be the best fit but they have covered a lot of options already. But I don't want any new mechanics for the side characters. The stealth platforming should focus on Sly

I don't know, maybe incorporating the cane to scale a wall or flip around a corner smoothly/quickly.

>>714624620
Upvoted.

>>714634147
Furry mod for Thief: The Dark Project

>>714622739 (OP)
>mfw I booted up Spyro 2 for the first time as an adult and it was literally nothing like Spyro 1
I feel you, man

>>714633245
How would tape fix it? The plastic bit that allows controllers to fit into the port broke off and a couple of the exposed prongs are bent. I don't think you can use the player 2 port to play games so I can't really use it and I've had it in a box for years, opting to use my ps3 instead for ps 1-3 games

>>714634147
Give it Persona 5's polish but keep gameplay mostly the same.

>>714627759
and then he purposefully crippled his "best friend" Bentley, and became a hippie.
Such a life he lead.

>>714635857
nigger what

>>714622739 (OP)
Look. I love the series. Sly 1 has aged like fine milk compared to all the rest. It's an excellent platformer 1/3rd of the time, with phenomenal atmosphere.

The rest is horrible goddamn minigames. The FUCKING worst being anything Murray related.
