weird urge to play through thieves in time again even tho i know it will just make me angry >:(
#it's frustrating because like. gold nuggets of p solid sly gameplay was peppered in amongst the excessive mini games and boring boss fights#but even then its marred by sly's physics feeling “off”#can't quite explain it but jumping and landing feels Not Right. like he is made of helium but also magnetised to the floor#and there were some good mechanics!! the collectable shit and unlockables were really solid#liked being able to look around the safe house. little details like sly and bentley playing ping pong. that was nice.#i could've put up with the excessive load times and patchy gameplay. they were not the fatal flaw#og trilogy had it's fair share of minigame based gameplay and the odd dud boss battle#the unforgivable parts are the story and the dialog (and to a lesser extent the massive downgrade in cutscene art style)#i cannot be doing with the incessant obnoxious unfunny one liners#id have to mute it... the gems of decent sly/bentley banter are too few and far between to be worth the annoyance#the story just fucks itself straight out the gate by starting off w totally nerfing sly's arc in 3#and that's before you get to the penelope twist. been talked about ad nauseum but it makes the whole story make no fuckin sense.#there's a ton to say abt this... it's p much all already been said but im just still mad about it ten years on lol
