jedi1josh Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 In both Sly 1 and 2 I griped on the difficulty rating threads that the use of the button was over used in the games and it was hard to get used to hitting it for almost every jump Sly has to make, actually you have to hit :cross: for nearly every jump which was too many button hits for a single jump in my opinion, but at least I didn't have any problems with it not working. If I screwed up a jump it was because I missed the button at the right time or I forgot to double jump first before hitting . But in this game I know I'm hitting and Sly is still not grabbing on to the small hooks in the side of walls, this is the only time when hitting seems to not be working when it should, the rest of the things I need to hit seem so far to work just fine, it's only when I need to grab the hooks on walls that I experience him sometimes not hooking on. Also there has been several times when Sly fell off a high edge and when he went to respawn he respawned over empty space which just made him fall a second time, this also didn't happen to me during Sly 1 or 2.

xX_shoemaker_Xx Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 yea, i can definitely agree that the camera and controls in sly 3 are off. i flew through sly 1 and 2 and never had an issue missing a ledge or hook or anything, and it seems to happen regularly in sly 3. oh well, just need to finish it and move on.

dz06lt Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 i am spacing these games out to avoid getting worn out of playing the same game over and over and over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzero Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I started with the game today and notice this awell. Thinking how did I miss that spire jump I know I hit the buttons. Either this game doesn't read them all the time or you have to be a lot closer. Two gave you a lot of room for error and still would figure out where you were aiming at let you land there.

ADDX Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I'm glad Im not the only one who noticed this in Sly 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMDE Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Lazy? It might be a bit difficult at first to learn the pattern, but just do it some times, and your brain should learn it! There is not much in the game that is hard, why complain about one of the very few things that makes this game a tiny bit harder? =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas7Ax Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I definitely found the camera to be poorly executed in certain parts of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digiboy123 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I haven't noticed any of the problems with landing on Sly's targets. Controls seem the same as in 2 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester695 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Same problem here. Controls are ridiculously bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonGuy Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Totally agree. The hardest challenges for me ended up being any timed platforming jobs that involved those damn rock climbing hooks. Those things only work half the time. Either you simply dont latch on to them or they shoot you up in a poor direction so you cant get to the appropriate ledge.

cenobiteguitar Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Honestly this game sux, I never played Sly on Ps2 and got this collection to get updated with such a classic. But seriously this Sly 3 is just the same over and over again, crappy controls, and got tired of Bentley´s comments. The characters were great on the Sly 1, and average on the 2, seems that Sucker punch got dried on ideas and just came up with new characters. Getting now the challenges but I found this platinum as boring as Larry´s (fortunately I quit that on time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chizzum18 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yeah, I agree with alot of what you're saying. I have recently finished all the games, and I think this would have been the best one in the series had it not been for the unpolished controls. They just didn't seem to work 100% properly for me. Whenever I jumped for a wall hook, I was never quite sure if he would actually grab onto it or not. All in all though, still a pretty fun game I thought.

VazzVegas Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Worst controls for any game, period. They had too many stupid mini-games and didn't concentrate on perfecting the controls. It really sucks to have to fight the controls in the platforming game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satnamji Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Worst controls for any game, period. They had too many stupid mini-games and didn't concentrate on perfecting the controls. It really sucks to have to fight the controls in the platforming game. The biggest problem I had was actually with the those mini-games, as you often aren't given enough information of what all the useable controls are (they aren't listed in the manual either).  For instance in the Penelope sword fight, Bentley tells you how to move and dodge, but not attack (I only found out by watching a YouTube video, you can and need to hit triangle). And in the biplane missions, especially the last dogfight against the 20 enemies, it would really be helpful to know about holding square to slow down and make sharp turns. Lastly, it was only by accident, after dozens of restarts from hitting those mines that popped up in the water, that I discovered that I needed to hit X to jump when riding the sharks. Oh, and don't get me started on the targetting/reloading time with the spear gun. That hammerhead shark sequence was way tougher than it need to be. Crossing my fingers now that I get through all the challenges with all my controllers intact.

Hotspur000 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Again another control problem related to those fucking wall hooks . . . **SPOILER** I'm in the Cooper vault, just after he's found his Arabian ancestor, and I simply cannot make the jump from the last hanging hook onto the wall hook. I rock back and forth and jump and get as much air as I can, but even after double jumping I'm nowhere near enough the hook to grab onto it.  Anyone have any suggestions before my controller goes through my TV? I just watched a walkthough on YouTube, and the guy makes the jump on the first try. Does this mean mine's glitching? I was actually enjoying this game the most out of the trilogy, but this shit is quickly souring me.

Some of these hooks have a sweet spot (some times at much further distance than others) and doing a double jump will make you off shoot that sweet spot, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueTigerCub Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I found the controls in all 3 games to be slightly off. Still worked my way through the games though. Was a bit of a pain in 3 when doing the challenges, so annoying to fail when it isn't really your fault. So many times I shouted 'but I pressed the button!!! Grrrrr!!!'. Damn you button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimPanssi Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 This third game definitely has the worst controls, I didn't have this much problems with the first game. Those wall hook jumps were the most difficult for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
