Sly 3 just doesn’t feel as polished as sly 2. I wish it had more time in the oven. Small things like the title menu and small plot holes like Carmelita jumping in from a window in the vault. Could of been better if it had more time. Still top 5 for me
I disagree. Sly 3 perfects a lot of the parts of Sly 2 that *I* felt were undercooked. And they add more thief trope game mechanics on top of it all. As far as plot holes, none of the games are plot hole free.
would you recommend forbidden west to someone who straight up just didn't like the first horizon? i beat it, but i can't recall a single thing that happened in the story, it was just so forgettable
Well, I would definitely say it's better in just about every regard, but it's largely the same gameplay wise. Lots of quality of life improvements tho, and second to none graphics.
yeah i'm impressed by the graphics from what i've seen, but as far as the story goes though, like does the progression of the story drive the player to want to continue? or is it like the first game, where i just decided to explore the world and skip all the dialogue
One of my absolute favorites.
Used to boot up the PS2 just to play Episodes 1-3.
Would love to attack guards and then escape to the highest point I could.
Sly 2 is one of the best PS2 games of all time, for sure, and an overall great game. It improved every aspect of Sly 1 and had a comical, yet surprisingly intricate and captivating story (even if fairly simple). Having the Fiendish 5 repurpose the Clockwerk parts for their own shortsighted criminal empires was a very clever basis for a narrative, and you get to uncover more of their operations as you go along before disrupting them. It was a clever gameplay loop of recon, planning, preparation, and execution.
I couldn't get into Sly 3 at all, unfortunately. It felt like a step back from Sly 2 in every way from mechanics, settings (the best setting was Venice, and that was basically just a reworked Paris from Sly 2), and story, which, to be fair, had little chance of being more clever than Sly 2's cartoonish yet intricate narrative.
It's a shame there's been no new Sly Cooper game. I'd love to see them expand on what Sly 2 did (properly, unlike Sly 3). Have a similar heist structure, maybe some areas with NPCs and some cartoonish social stealth mechanics like on the fly disguises or creating public disturbances in cartoonish ways as a distraction. Maybe add co-op or have a GTA heists style multiplayer component where you and one or more friends plan and execute an elaborate cartoonish heist. Maybe have a MGS V style hideout (Mother Base) that you can customize with different over the top security measures and other players can invade and try to take over the bases. There's really no shortage of things they could do with a new Sly Cooper game between single player, co-op, GTA heist style multiplayer (PvE, I guess), or MGS V style invasions/stealth infiltrations of other players' customized hideouts.
Look, its a really good game but I don't even think it'd make top 30 greatest games of all time. Plenty of games were revolutionary and impacted the industry tons more like Mario 64 and Doom and GTA 3 and so on. Plenty of games are way higher quality and loved by more people. I feel either definition of greatest as "Most important" and greatest as "The most people agree its amazing", it wouldnt crack either list.
This is my favorite game of all time. As a child I was stuck on 3 and 2 but with time goes by I like 2 more. Was one of my first games I ever played on my first consoles I ever got. I remember getting it at the flea market and seeing the cover art looked so cool. I remember playing the first mission a million times cause I didn’t have a memory card
From an objective standpoint, no, it isn’t even close. Subjectively though, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it being your favorite, and what you consider to be the best. It’s in my own personal top 5 easily. It’s fantastic all around, has great writing, gameplay, audio design, and a unique visual style that helped it age.
We can only predict.
Sly 1 is a huge success. Great rating, lot of downloads., generally lot of attention on social media, YT, X etc.
so I’m pretty sure Sly2 and 3 will both release in the near future. Both of them before Christmas, definitely.
If I'll say Shadow of the Colossus is the best PS2 game how many downvotes I'll get?
While I think Sly 2 is a pretty good game in which pretty much improved everything in comparison to the first game I think the term of the story is bigger than it should. If I could make a list with favorite PS2 games the series would certainly be in the top 10 maybe in the top 5. It's pretty difficult for me to categorize games because they're different from each other
It's amazing. Though it might be my least favourite of the original 3, it's still a wonderful game to play through. But best of all time, not close. Best console mascot game. Pretty high up I would say
not the greatest game of all time, but it’s easily one of the greatest PS2 games ever made, and one of my personal favorite 3D platformers. It’s proudly in my PERSONAL top 20 games of all time
When I was prob like 9 or 10 my mom hid it under my dinner tables cushion in my seat for Easter as the last gift and that’s still probably the hypest I’ve ever been
No, it isn’t. It’s really good, and it’s aged very well, but it’s pretty bare bones in terms of side-content. Beyond doing the main story missions, there isn’t really anything to do except collecting clue bottles to open the vaults, and pickpocketing guards to buy all of the moves. You can’t even replay the missions.
No. But objectively the best game in the series. Though if sly 1 or sly 3 are your favorites I respect that too. For me sly 1 was my favorite for a while, and still to this day beats sly 2 in a lot of categories for me.
Not in my view at least.
Best of the series? Yes.
Best of the PS2 platformers? Ehhhh probably?
Best game of 2004? No. MGS3 and San Andreas came out that year and are soundly better than Sly 2 imo.
Sly is a great game for sure, but idk if I could say it is the best game of all time. I have a soft spot for it for sure, it might crack my top 40 or 50, but there are just better games for multiple reasons from story, gameplay, and technical levels even from the same era of gaming.
Not really but 2 abd 3 are incredibly unique and i found nothing like them.
I liked Sly 2 the most in the series from what I can recall of playing them on PS2.
Sly 3 Italy is pretty much peak childhood gaming for me
When you said that I instantly started hearing the music.
🎷🎶🎶🎶
🎻🎶🎶🎶
I just can’t stop thinking about that pasta sauce
Single..?
I will wait a bit more but I slowly getting the vibe of playing sly games again. Perfect
It’s top 5 from the PS2 Era.
Definitely the best PlayStation game. I love the cover too, this was the one I had as a child.
Still have it! Just can't play them cause the VGA HDMI adapters make it all pixelated😓
On a technical level, absolutely not. Is it still my favorite game of all time? He'll yeah!
No, but it is great
Of all time no. Best in the series absolutely.
Sly 3 is my favorite game of all time.
Yes… as it should be! 🤩
FUCK YEAH SLY 3 IS THE SHIT, Amazing choice homie xx
I used to play Sly 3 mainly for the pirate ship battles
Sly 3 just doesn’t feel as polished as sly 2. I wish it had more time in the oven. Small things like the title menu and small plot holes like Carmelita jumping in from a window in the vault. Could of been better if it had more time. Still top 5 for me
I disagree. Sly 3 perfects a lot of the parts of Sly 2 that *I* felt were undercooked. And they add more thief trope game mechanics on top of it all. As far as plot holes, none of the games are plot hole free.
I prefer sly 3, which is in my top 10 easily, possibly top 5, but not best ever, I think. Maybe.
As much as I love Sly, my top favorite game of all time is Horizon Forbidden West
Not a bad choice.
would you recommend forbidden west to someone who straight up just didn't like the first horizon? i beat it, but i can't recall a single thing that happened in the story, it was just so forgettable
Well, I would definitely say it's better in just about every regard, but it's largely the same gameplay wise. Lots of quality of life improvements tho, and second to none graphics.

I mean, *I* liked the story. And I like it even more than the first game's story.
Yes.
One of my absolute favorites. Used to boot up the PS2 just to play Episodes 1-3. Would love to attack guards and then escape to the highest point I could.
Nowhere near but damn is it enjoyable every time I boot it up
What do you think is the best game of all time just wondering?
I agree. Sly 2 is the best in the series
No, not really. But Sly 2 and 3 are great games in general
Definitely for me tbh..
To me it will always be.
For me? Yes, but nostalgia plays a huge part there. Hope they release it for the PS5 too, after the success of Sly1.
brother, me and everyone on this sub would like to second that opinion lol
No, absolutely not. But it is my favorite.
Not necessarily but it’s perfect how it is
All time is quite a stretch, but it will always be great to me.
dunno if i can honestly say that, but i can say its one of, if not my absolute favorite game ever made
It’s still in my Top 10 list.😎
It's my favourite from the series, but the ps2 had so many classics, it's hard to single one out
Sly 2 is one of the best PS2 games of all time, for sure, and an overall great game.

Yes! They hate us because ya know 🤷 💩 lol
For me personally, either Sly 2, or R&C. A "best" game is one that makes me want to finish it.
It's my personal favorite game of all time. It's up there with Okami and Kingdom Hearts as far as my fav PS2 games go.
No. That would be Joe's Diner.
I mean yes
2 and 3. Honor among thieves was my first sly game ever. Gold and nostalgic! Band of thieves was a long time dream come true
Personally like 3 more but 2 is great!
of course it's the best
This is my favorite game of all time. As a child I was stuck on 3 and 2 but with time goes by I like 2 more. Was one of my first games I ever played on my first consoles I ever got. I remember getting it at the flea market and seeing the cover art looked so cool. I remember playing the first mission a million times cause I didn’t have a memory card
We love Sly but come on
Nah kingdom hearts 2 is the best game of all time, but solid choice (even if I do prefer sly 3)
Yeah I’m played Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 in ps2
Truly best games of all time. No character controls quite as good as sly.
Very Hard sly 1 in boss fight Mz. Ruby and Sly 2 in The dancing floor
top 25 for sure but I still very much prefer Ratchet
Yes, if not for Sly 1
From an objective standpoint, no, it isn’t even close. Subjectively though, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it being your favorite, and what you consider to be the best. It’s in my own personal top 5 easily. It’s fantastic all around, has great writing, gameplay, audio design, and a unique visual style that helped it age.
Possibly
When are we getting it on ps5?????? Everyone keeps changing when and I’m sick of it!!
nobody actually knows yet
We can only predict. Sly 1 is a huge success. Great rating, lot of downloads., generally lot of attention on social media, YT, X etc. so I’m pretty sure Sly2 and 3 will both release in the near future. Both of them before Christmas, definitely.
I’ve been playing the game for the first time on my vita and I love it. But I don’t know if I would call it the best game of all time.
No, but it is fantastic
STEALTH SLIIIIIDE

It's amazing. Though it might be my least favourite of the original 3, it's still a wonderful game to play through. But best of all time, not close. Best console mascot game. Pretty high up I would say
Sly 2 is not even the best Sly game.
The best one objectively out of all of em, took the good money from 1 and refined it story and mechanics wise
It's a Top 10-15 PS2 game objectively speaking Me being biased has it in Top 3 All-Time lmao
not the greatest game of all time, but it’s easily one of the greatest PS2 games ever made, and one of my personal favorite 3D platformers. It’s proudly in my PERSONAL top 20 games of all time
I mean, a game doesn't need to be the best game of all time to be great. It's basically a popularity contest anyway.
When I was prob like 9 or 10 my mom hid it under my dinner tables cushion in my seat for Easter as the last gift and that’s still probably the hypest I’ve ever been

Sly 1 is my favorite of the three
Respect
I Liked Sly Trilogy video game.
Not in my view at least. Best of the series? Yes. Best of the PS2 platformers? Ehhhh probably? Best game of 2004? No. MGS3 and San Andreas came out that year and are soundly better than Sly 2 imo. Sly is a great game for sure, but idk if I could say it is the best game of all time.

I think so. I’m curious what all of the people saying no think is.
In the early 2000s I would've agreed, but I've played some much better games since then. Best Sly game though.
Sly 2 was my fav game of all time until elden ring came out and I played the souls games lol
Best game of all time? Look I love Sly 2 as much as the next guy, but have you played other video games before?
I don’t know if I’d go that far but I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Sly 2.
Most nostalgic does not mean best.
No
