I've never played any games in this series, but I am curious. Is this actually a stealth game? How does it compare to things like Splinter Cell, Thief, Hitman, etc?

>> No.7198449

>>7198257
Because Sony mistreated it since the 7th gen, just like any other series they own.

>> No.7198471

The first game feels a lot more like a natural evolution to something like Crash.
The best way to explain the second and thrid game is to compare them to the classic heist movies. You do certain missions that further the progress leading into a big finale where it all comes together.
For me, personally, Sly games shine the greatest in their narrative and characters, especially when You get into Sly 2. There is no other franchise like Sly and You can see that Sucker Punch had a blast while making it.

They mightve forgotten about the franchise, but its not underrated by any stretch. They were really popular, and they finished the story with the original trilogy.
Never played the 4th one tho

First game is centered around hub worlds with level portals similar to Crash games, 2nd game onward brings you to a new "Episode" location in which the whole area is open for missions leading up to a heist plan. Series is underrated and its a shame the PS3 collection and 4th game did not get the same level of attention

The second is soft stealth, the third game is mario party.

Why was the writing so much better than it's equivalent first party platformer games? Ratchet and Jak weren't even close in this department.

>> No.7200269

Ratchet writing is actually really good. The jokes always land, the chemistry between Ratchet and Clank is great, and the first game easily surpass Sly1 in story (well, in almost everything really).

Ratchet's writing is excellent, I agree about Jak tho

1. The narratives were character based and personal.
2. All of the characters were flawed and showed meaningful growth throughout the series, including the villians.
3. The themes were surprisingly dark and mature for a kid's game. There was also a lot of direct social and political commentary.

The gameplay is actually pretty bland, which is a shame because you can see the potential.

Ratchet's narrative peaked with with R&C1, and even then it's not very close with Sly Cooper. It's best writing was when they first met and Ratchet was a dick redneck and Clank was an intelligent but naive robot and they had to find common ground. However, outside of that, even within the first game R&C is a world were every other occupant is either obviously evil or obviously stupid and it's like watching an early Nickelodeon cartoon with it's level of character complexity outside of the under the radar sex jokes. In Sly Cooper the characters have really human interactions and motivations. If it weren't for the goofy cartoon aesthetic you could almost see the exact same script used for a more graphically realistic and "self serious" video game. It doesn't feel patronizing to watch again as an adult.
