Fractal Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm sad to admit it, on such an easy game, I just had to give up. I played the first and loved it. Played the second and found it painfully long and boring. Came to the third and felt I needed a break from the series and so left it for a bit. Come today I reinserted it and was bored out of my mind. It just feels way to repetitive now and why in the world there is no skip button for Bentley's constant annoying rambling is beyond me.

dz06lt Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 see i took a long break inbetween playing 1 and 2 and i will do the same for 3 just to avoid the annoyance factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stegz17 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I have to agree with you. I took a break between 2 and 3 also and that didn't really help out. I felt like it was more of a chore to platinum the third one but it was definetly worth it after i got the platinum! :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraven_15 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Perhaps I'm one of the few who is enjoying them,? Bentley has quickly become one of my favourite characters... I found him especially funny in Sly 2. Many times I chuckle outloud. I've played them all in a row and am enjoying Sly 3 as much as the others.

MeetDKing Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I liked 3. I just didn't like any of the extra characters. Their missions were tedious especially anything involving Penelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TemplePilot Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm with you. I just got the Sly 2 plat today after weeks of doing an episode, putting it down and coming back much later. Incredibly boring. First game was so much better. I see this one has fewer episodes, so I'm hoping that means it's a shorter game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kariokebeach Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 These games were great back in the day and I think they still hold up well. But as games have improved dramtically and there are so many great new games it can be difficult to stick to these 3 back to back. I'm in the process of finishing 3 but it is taking longer as the first 2 did burn me out a little. I will finish it but I think the worst will be the challenges as those have and will piss me off.

Hogger Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 wel i eventually platted it. i took a long break after sly 2. when i started sly 3 i actually found this 1 of the best games of the sly trilogy. (in my opinion it was better then sly 1 that was actually good too.) i also dont like to play with bentley. he has annoying voice and its confrontating to see him like this because i actually know real life people who are in the same position like bentley(spoiler play sly 2 out to know what i mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondD Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Maybe you need to take a longer break than you originally thought. I'm feeling this exact same way about the Tomb Raider Trilogy. I platted both Legend and Anniversary just lose steam when playing Underworld. I don't even know when I'll get back to it now especially since I recently picked up the Prince of Persia Trilogy.

PS4Trophies Wozamil Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I know exactly how you feel. After getting through the first two games relatively quickly, it's become such a chore to play the third one. I can't play more than 5 missions before I have to stop.

neosnake101 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I don't even know when I'll get back to it now especially since I recently picked up the Prince of Persia Trilogy. PoP Trilogy is even worse actually. You have to play Warrior Within and The Two Thrones at least 3 times each to get the platinums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseguy20 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Lol I came in this thread expecting the reason to be because you had difficulty with finishing all the challenges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino_Roar Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 why in the world there is no skip button for Bentley's constant annoying rambling is beyond me. I absolutely agree.. I found the 3rd one painfull as i just wanted to get rid of the game before i threw it in the bin. All i can sayis the PSN outage got me through it..!!

Blaze Naruto Shippuden Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I got 1 trophy in sly 3 and took a break since i 1 and 2 both close together and the game was getting very very boring. I returned to finish sly 3 since PSN is down and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseyqueso Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 god. lol i thought i was the only one. but, no backing out now, 39 percent done then i can return this crap to gamefly. im sure back in the day it was fun as hell, but it just doesn't hold up to next gen standards... although, if they made a jack and daxter hd collection, i'd shit.

Solid-Snake-Eyes Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I think the games hold up great by today's standards. They don't really feel ancient or outdated like the PS1 Resident Evils for example, and they look great visually. I just finished Sly 2 and moving on to 3. I played them all back on PS2 and played most of the PS2 Sly 2 again on PS3 before I got Collection so replaying most of 2 was a little bit of a chore. Excited to move onto 3 now which I don't remember much of at all. I didn't remember that they took out the clue bottles, that was my favorite part of the game! Maybe they reappear after Venice (I hope!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin95 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 The funny thing is that the best game in the trilogy is the first one. Then with the "improvements" they made in Sly 2 it became a lot more boring, and Sly 3 was even worse than that, because of the stupid plot and new characters.

Solid-Snake-Eyes Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I liked Sly 1's mission and safe structure/setup a lot, I was cool with 2 but they did things a lot differently with not having totally separate levels for every mission. The clue bottles were much better in 2 though, you really had to search to get em all. 3 so far is looking reaaallly nice visually and I love that you don't have to sell your loot anymore but I hate the missing clue bottles. Not sure about the mission structure yet. I played all of these before but I don't really remember any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly 2 and 3 are too overwhelmed with Mini games, though I like the open episode map and pickpocketing. Really depends how much you like the mini games.

Solid-Snake-Eyes Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I don't mind the minigames, some are frustrating but I love the change of pace and constantly changing up the genre, very cool. It seems like Sly 3 is really streamlined but not in a good way. Still a great game but I miss searching for the clue bottles and the clinking sound they made. I love that treasure automatically converts into coins though, great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
