Hm? Just make it so you have to actually jump on the platforms, no auto stuff at all.

Except Sly's thing is the ability to jump on the sharpest of objects and running along rails; even if you get rid of X+O, the only way to retain those skills were to just connect him automatically to it. And seeing how most things are connectable, it'd get real finnicky and really annoying to simply jump off something and connect to something you don't want to, especially when under some sort of time limit or being chased by gaurds. X+O makes it so that your able to connect to what you want instead of just mashing X all over the place to try to get of of something only to connect to something else.

Although as far as linear platforming segments go, sure.

This post made me think I would buy Sly Cooper legos.

Edit: The post below me is almost correct. They missed one thing, I don't feel the need to protect Bob.

Bob Cooper is better written than most square enix characters!

And how about the music during his workout montage? LOL

Cleared some of my backlog so I finally grabbed it on PSN

16GB, wow. Wasn't expecting that.

 

[SlasherJPC]

Well after playing a decent bit of the start, Loving it. Not really sure on some of the lower scores (especially Sesslers).

Sesslers is the most surprising because he loves theses kinds of games. Perhaps he just wanted an updated version and not something ripped straight from the PS2 era?
His complaints are valid though... Just not enough to hamper my own enjoyment. I love it.


Getting all of these bottles without AR is difficult. I need 5 more in world 3 but Im out of areas to search, i think....

I think World 3 probably has the hardest search for bottles in the whole game

Spoiler

though it makes sense since the treasure you get is a clue bottle finder in the map

.

Some of them I thoguht were really dick moves;take this one for example.

 

[jwk94]

The one behind the flag was the worst.

 

[TripOpt55]

I turned the music off so I could hear the bottle clink noises better when I was searching for a bit... haha.

 

[TimeEffect]

Finished it earlier today. I can't believe I clocked in ~40 hours. This game is absolutely phenomenal. I just need a few more trophies!

Wait, how long is the main playthrough?

 

[The Lamp]

I don't agree with Sessler's complaints at all. I haven't found a single thing he complained about resonate with me. The game is right under Sly 1 for me (so far). At world 3 now.

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Wait, how long is the main playthrough?

Supposedly 8-10 hours if you ignore all the collectibles, but I know sure as hell I clocked in well over 15 on my first playthrough.

 

[jwk94]

Wait, how long is the main playthrough?

About 20hrs? I'm not too sure. I think I hit the last episode around 20-25hrs then I went around collecting some things here and there.

 

[Salaadin]

Where can you see time played?

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Where can you see time played?

I don't think you can in this one; I remember you could in Sly 2, though.

 

[Berordn]

That was one of the easier ones, I thought. World 3 was probably my least favorite of the bunch though.

Not that I could really tell you how I felt about them after that, considering what the treasure is.

 

[Derrick01]

Is there any way to find out what the items from the safes do? I'm assuming the one in world 1 was a

Spoiler

coin magnet, that was obvious

but I just got the one in world 3 and dunno what it does.

Go to the hideout and check out the treasure descriptions.

 

[Derrick01]

Thanks, seems like it'll be helpful for the other 3 worlds.

Also does this have 2 trophy lists? I was looking on Vita earlier and they appeared separately on my trophy list and the Vita version didn't have any trophies yet since I haven't really played it.

Yep, two trophy lists, and it's cross-trophies as well so when you download your PS3 save from the cloud you get every trophy you've unlocked on PS3 on Vita too.

 

[krae_man]

Oh goodie another bug. I died during the boxing match and the "Mission Failed, Press X to retry" or whatever screen never came up and I had to reset.

I know its minor, but how does this crap pass cert?

Anyway finished chapter 2. Enjoying the game so far.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Spiked Club! You old African! I found you... I found you!

There's one treasure that's on top of the (location spoiler)

Spoiler

T-Rex skeleton that can be accessed by paragliding on one of the air geysers; is it that one?

That wasn't it. If anyone's interested:

Spoiler

It's inside a lava cave near that air geyser on the ground. You have to use the archer outfit to cross the lava.

God damn. I just kept passing that cave entrance somehow.

 

[Soul4ger]

Holy crap, Sanzaru made the best Sly Cooper game. I can't believe it! Fantastic.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Damn this game is awesome looking in 60FPS, Jesus, so good

Already finished up 11% trophies wise and I only just freed the first Ancestor

 

[DjRoomba]

So is the consensus here this is decent? I was all up for buying this till the really underwhelming demo and stuff like the Giantbomb Quicklook which has done little to convince me its worthwhile..Then again. R&C future series was a critcal success and is well liked here too isnt it, and that wasnt really my thing

 

[NIN90]

Nolan North voiced El Jefe (the tiger from the first act).

Steve Blum voiced Rioichi Cooper.

 

[Derrick01]

That's cool but I still can't get cross save to work. Guess I'll be playing this twice

 

[Ridley327]

I was quite impressed with this game. Sanzaru set out to do a Sly Cooper game with all the best elements from the previous titles and that's exactly what they accomplished. I do hope that they get the chance to work on another platformer for Sony, even if it isn't Sly 5.

 

[Ridley327]

Wow, the

Spoiler

secret ending

is such a tease.

Please let there be a Sly 5 on the PS4 with graphics that look just like the cutscenes.

 

[jwk94]

Ridley, spoiler tag that please. I wasn't aware that there was a

secret ending

 

[Ridley327]

Sorry, I didn't think it was that big a deal, given how Sly 4 was announced in the first place, but I guess Sculli could always wander into this thread.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Just beat it. I'm really, really disappointed that

Spoiler

one of my favorite characters, Dimitri, only really shows up in the animated cutscenes. They even made a model, or at least had concept art, for him, and nothing... ):

Great game, though. I had lots of fun playing this. I'll go back and collect everything and get the platinum, maybe.

I was confused about that too. He's even prominently shown in Bentley's Hackpack with a model and unique animations, yet barely appears in Sly 4.

There was a rumour that

he was going to be an unlockable character in the game, but that didn't pass; it's a shame we didn't even hear his voice, though.

Just listened to that podcast with Kevin Miller. Seems like a really cool guy whos really into the series.

Ahh, lol. That would make more sense. I see his name in every description.

Ending spoilers:

Nolan North deserves every award that can be given to a voice actor for how he delivered the "Because I don't want to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie" line; he was generally fantastic as Le Paradox, but that line put him into god tier for me.

I was suprised as hell to see his name as Le Paradox in the credits. RANGE. HE HAS IT

Spoiler

It's funny; I thought he was immediately recognizable as El Jefe, but it genuinely took me a bit to figure out he was Le Paradox, too. He has certain tells when he delivers his lines that makes it obvious that it's him (which is why I've never been impressed with his Penguin from Arkham City), but I guess he really shines with a ridiculous French accent. He really needs to do more outright comedic roles, because it really shows off just how talented he is when he's not being asked to do "the Drake voice" in every other game.
