Sly 2: Band Of Thieves is a MASTERPIECE in 2024...

[@SonGokuuuuuuu]

Sly 2 is one of the greatest stealth platformers ever created. The Sly series in general, while more niche than Jak or R&C, in my opinion it was always better written and the story ranks above them all. Great story, great gameplay, amazing characters. Sly is just awesome.

[@SS-jf9ls]

sly 1 port on PS5 is one of the highest rated games on the PS store already, and it hit top 20 most played games last month. imagine how well sly 2 port will perform…

[@Snaaake_Beater]

Maybe not so well because many people just wanted to test out the ps2 emulator and maybe some didnt liked it because its really not that great as sly 2 ​@@SS-jf9ls

[@dannyjohnson8156]

@@Snaaake_BeaterOr… a lot of people just love the first Sly game and are happy you can finally play it natively on modern hardware???

[@Snaaake_Beater]

@@dannyjohnson8156 im happy too and gave it a 5 star rating but i think the majority thinks sly 1 is not the best game of the franchise.

That fucking commercial is the reason I wanted a PS2 so badly.

[@Vakaria-plays]

Me too! I didnt even own a PS2 when the commercial was on TV, but i wanted the game for my birthday, my parents had noticed that i no longer wanted PS1 games for my birthday, yet they saw me play the PS1 all the time so they asked me about it, and i told them that there wasnt being produced any more new PS1 games as its an old console (roughly 3 or 4 years since the last PS1 game was made by then). Then they asked me how come i wanted a PS2 game when i didnt have one, and i told them. ''I want to be able to play the game as soon as i have saved up enough money for a PS2!'' luckily for me, the company he works for had gotten a bunch of PS2 consoles at a discount price due to a merger deal having been completed which meant that Sony had send his company a bunch of PS2 consoles for less than half the production price, and so my dad bought got one of those consoles and gave it to me. Thus this game and Dragon ball Z Budokai 1 became the first games i played on the PS2, third game was Star Wars Battlefront 2.

[@brianmarkley2845]

Patiently waiting for this, Sly 3 and the OG Ratchet trilogy to hit the PS Store.

[@TheSoulWithin7]

Me too fellow gamer Me too, hopefully soon, ive heard whispers that sly 2 is possibly october, and sly 3 probably January. Im hoping for sooner

[@ChristianFrates1997]

Don’t forget Deadlocked and Secret Agent Clank.

[@Vakaria-plays]

The remastered trilogy of Sly Cooper is available on the PS4/PS5 in the classic catalogue if you have PS plus. Ratchet and Clank 1, and 3 (and i think 2) is also there.

[@truespeedsonic78]

Replaying the sly franchise really set in mind how much of a grind so many games today have. The sense of accomplishment you get out of completing missions and grabbing collectibles in this series and a couple of other classics is something I haven’t felt in a long time.

[@ThankfulHeart10]

Why do people use God's name in vain? When they themselves do not believe in God?. Because the Bible is true weather you like it or not. The good news is you can have eternal life (which is so coveted it's featured in movies) by believing in the paid in full sacrifice that Jesus paid in your place and my place as sinners. Just believe and repent of your wickedness. Now repentance is not salvation but the evidence of your salvation if you so choose to receive it. God bless.

[@97dhohl14]

It’s so rare that you find KZbin video of a guy who just gets it. Amazing commentary, it’s so great to see somebody that appreciates this game as much as I do.

[@megaslayer9279]

I’m 31. I absolutely love this game….this whole series has so much love from me. I remember working with my step dad doing a roofing job on one of his apartment houses when I was 11/12 years old. The ONLY thing I wanted was this game….he told me “alright work with me Saturday on that house and then after we’re done I’ll take you to Walmart and get you that game you want” I think the game has only been out for maybe a week at that time. I’ve replayed this series possibly more than any other game series ever that I’ve owned. But this game specifically is so special to me I loved it when I was 11/12 and now at 31 I still love it just as much.

[@nachocheez9690]

Im 26 and replaying them now on playstation 5. Wow i love these games so much

Give us more Sly please Sony

The sneak pop up slam that Sly has might be one of the most satisfying moves in all of gaming

My heart is full just watching this! Sly Cooper is forever a classic. Sly 4 has its missteps but my gosh it’s all incredibly memorable❤ Dimitri anyone?? 😂

Love how Sly related content was just pushed into my feed first, the soundtrack, and now game reviews im happy

[@Rubycore]

I would give a kidney for another Sly game. It's all I want. I know we're never getting it, but I still will not let go of the hope that we will one day get a conclusion to Sly's story

[@th3legendarygizoid652]

I played through Sly 2 for the first time a few months ago and man it was such a treat. Makes me want to go back and experience the PS2 era since I never had a PS2 growing up.

[@Biggucci97]

Play all the ps2 games you can get your hand on. I maybe an old head but those games were just different. They obviously wanted to make money but they were made with love. Just doesn’t have the same feel nowadays.

[@candycaneee]

I instantly love your channel 10X more for this type of content

[@SKLiveinkmedia]

I love that there are still people making sly cooper videos! please make more of these like a whole series of you actualy playing🙂

[@FlagsWS]

This is perfect timing. I actually just broke out my Vita the other day and have been replaying through the Sly games!

[@ActNasty5]

Sly is the ONLY game from my childhood that i havent gone back to and i loved it. I honestly cant wait to play them again.

[@Ims18]

Sly 2 is one of my favorite gaming experiences ever

[@sennanmp]

Sly 2 still remains one of my favorite games growing up. I've been replaying the trilogy and i'm genuinely amazed by how much i still enjoy these games. Moments like these really make me agree with the people that claim 'nostalgia is a drug' lmao.

[@Squiggles95]

Never clicked a video so fast. This game is worth it forever. Such a classic. Best in the series IMO.

[@BobbyKawecki]

I remember playing this at like 9 years old thinking it was so years you play most of the bosses twice

[@FirstPlace97]

Sly 2 was one of those games I just had to play when I was a kid, and I fell in love with it just like I knew I would. It's always been my favorite game (tied with a few others, because you can't just have one). The fact that this game had 3 playable characters and 8 (eight!) self-contained open worlds is unlike anything we had seen in gaming. The level of immersion found within is remarkable for its time and now. The story, characters, music, visuals and gameplay all stand out, also of a caliber not seen or felt to that point. The charm matched the ambition and you know the folks who made it just loved what they were doing (Sucker Punch is still like a family today and those devs still work there). Nothing beats opening up the Paris level for the first time as the camera pans the skyline and we see Sly sneak crawl to the safehouse in style. It's a beautiful game that's more fun to play today than most modern "games." I'm glad Matty is a real fan and not just covering it to have something retro. Great to see some old school gamers that have fondness and appreciation for the Cooper gang.

[@davieboyy1436]

I recently got the platinum trophy for Theivius Raccoonus. Now I am going through Band of Theives. It would be awesome to see a new Sly Cooper game.

[@_vcctv_]

3: Honor Among Thieves is nearly just as good but 2 is objectively like top 5 video games of all time

[@XxHessxX7]

So many great memories with my cousin playing this masterpiece!

[@sizerk717]

I want you to go back onto Sly 2, when you’re on the ground, swing your cane and jump, but press X 3 times, you will do a high jump. Sly, when you hold Square, does the spin attack in Sly 2. The animation of this also grounds you, or essentially places a floor under you. When you hold square and jump, you’ll see a puff of dust come from your feet, this is you being “grounded” allowing for 2 more jumps after the first. Cool little tech used in speedruns of the game, but makes the traversing before having paraglided very fun.

[@Supsidious]

I’m currently playing Sly 1 for the first time on PS5 and loving it so far. Hoping they eventually port over the whole series 🙏

[@SloneKyle]

Sly 2 walked so Assassin's Creed could run.

[@GrubKiller436]

Sly 2 was amazing. It did not just walk. It should have walked, but instead it ran, and ran plenty. Like Forest Gump running and those leg braces falling off.

This is my favourite game of all time, but I miss all the sly games. I don’t even have a PlayStation anymore, and I know I would get one just to play this. One of my beardies is named Cooper. 😊

[@ciboria1]

OoOh, you just fired up my memories of always wanting to start a new game with all the thiefNet upgrades, so you could play through it with them. BUT there is a way to do it, so while I'm getting ready to meet up with old friends for a beer, that 9 year old version of me is jumping up and down, as he finally "figured out" how to do it with cheat codes. Thank you

[@ciboria1]

Method; Use Code to automatically have all episodes open, no mission is completed, but you can hop into your favorite from the start/skip those you just can't stand that day. But all skills can be bought as soon as you get Into the Paris Hideout

[@ciboria1]

But here's the fun part, you still have to steal a lot to get them, as valuables at the start just aren't worth much. But grind = worth it

[@watchmojoe]

I usually will play through the whole series every other year and sly 2 is always the one I look forward too! it's definitely in my top 3 vgoat. funny enough though, as much I love the series as a whole part of what really made sly 2 stick with me so much as a kid was that I was only able to play the opening heist on a jampack demo disc on repeat for a while until I was able to finally get a copy from my uncle for christmas, my hype was maxed out at that point and the game was everything I was hoping it could be. as fossilized as demo discs are and really demos as a whole now, they helped introduce you to sleeper titles (rise of honor, burnout 3, DefJam NY, etc) that you maybe wouldn't have played otherwise. I really just miss discovering little weird AA games that weren't necessarily indie but also weren't super high budget exclusives either that all had a bunch of small cult followings.

[@DCT7]

I love games from childhood being brought up today. The first 4 ratchet and clanks, the sly trilogy, the Jack and daxters, the ape escape trilogy, etc. they don’t make games like they used to 😢

[@ironworrier]

I’ve been waiting for this video for so long now.

[@Imperatrixxy]

First time I played Sly 2, I was bewildered and put off by the extensive changes made to the game's formula. Where did the horseshoes go? Why don't the enemies die in one hit? How do I deal with the torch bearing guards; they're too OP. Help, I'm scared! Nowadays it is hands down my favourite game in the series. I love the environments and the gameplay (with a few exceptions; looking at the helicopter missions), and I adore the story. The only thing that really holds it back from perfection is the fact that unlike Sly 3 there is no mission replay system, so the only way to experience the story again is to start over from the beginning again.

[@ridensroom6957]

I never played it on ps2 but bought the collection on ps3. Great series
