DUDE I was not expecting this. One of my favorite games that doesn’t get a lot of coverage because of how old and obscure it is. Love this game, love you, no homo.
Arpeggio: Aurora Borealis? Sly Cooper: Ah- Aurora Borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the world, localized entirely within your blimp?! Arpeggio: Yes. Sly Cooper: ...May I see it? Arpeggio: ...No. [They both look as Neyla stands between them and Clockwerk.] Neyla: Arpeggio! *cracks her whip to knock over his cage-chair* Our cargo will be your undoing. Arpeggio: Ooof! ...No, dear, it's just the Northern Lights. [Neyla does a betrayal and Arpeggio dies.] Sly Cooper: Well, Arpeggio, you were an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good boss fight.
I recently played through Sly 2 again and the thing that surprised me the most was just how smooth the controls were. I felt like everybody moved like butter! Even modern games don't control as well as Sly 2 did.
24:49 you know this part actually made me curious into looking into whether there was a difference between climate change and global warming and from what I found (don't quote me on this, I have no scientific qualifications) global warming is basically just the planet getting warmer, while climate change is a term used to refer to that in addition to extreme enviormental occurences like floods and forest fires and whatnot. I learned something new today! also, your favourite jojo's character is diego and you say sly 2 is really really good, but you claim that you aren't a furry nor a scalie. That's twice now. If this happens three times, you're gonna have to confront your tastes my guy.
@@TheShuckmeister I just bought this game yesterday at a vintage game store I had sly cooper 3 as a kid but not the other 2 I was more into ratchet and clank and the jak & daxter series. But I can’t wait to give this a try I loved 3 so I know I’ll love this one as well
Sly 2 was my favorite game growing up. I was obsessed with it, and I really think it sparked my love for video games for the first time. I remember being so into it, but the disc was messed up and I never got to play past the part with the bison heist in the canadian area. I still haven't beaten the game, but I'm tempted to download an emulator after this video resparked my love for this game
i don't typically write comments to videos but this time i have to because there's not enough videos and talk about sly cooper! this was a great and engaging video, i loved it!
This is crazy. I have heard nothing about this series for YEARS, and I started re-playing them on my PS5. I've been absolutely in love with All of them. Sly 2 is one of the first games I ever owned on the PS2. I remember collecting all the bottles, 100%ing everything, and running around the world. Some of the purest fun I have ever had in any game.
You have some edge to you good sir. Your jokes are hilarious and your deadpan delivery of them comes out of nowhere and forces me to pause and say “wait, that was funny.” And it was and it is. You sir are a very very funny man. I can only hope your other videos fall in my same interests as this one did because I would love to hear more.
I would love if they did an ed edd eddy game in the style of sly 2 and 3. The different levels would be the different locations like the construction site, the school, the trailer park, ect. Eddy = sly, Edd= bentley, Ed=murray. That's it.
The long awaited Sly Cooper video, yes! I've been playing this game multiple times a year my entire life, Sly is my favorite game series of all time. Playing the Sly 3 minigames with my girlfriend is a regular occurance.
My first experience with Sly 2 was through the demo in Racket and Clank 3 and the amount of _style_ the game exuded was enough to get me to buy it. It is definitely one of my all time favorite game and sequel.
I’m glad you pointed out the humor. I thought it would be fun to describe the story the way I did and I think it’s one of my funniest videos yet. As for Sly 5, I might revisit that
@@TheShuckmeister well if you do you got yourself a new subscriber that will be eager to watch it. I also would mind you reviewing silent Hill 2 as a great sequel video as well.
I first played this game back when I was 7. I remember getting this game and was excited to go home and play it, but I ended up breaking my leg and couldnt play it for 8 weeks. It definitely was worth the wait. I played it day and night. Probably my favorite trilogy to play.
@@TheShuckmeister im going to be honest, you did give me a break when you mentioned Abby! But there poped so many great memories from the rest of the video! :)
Never seen your channel before Love the video, I heard the duwang reference and I think to myself isn't that a JoJo reference and then I looked at your channel and realized yes in fact that's what it was.
This game had a well-deserved spot on a top 20 Playstation games of all time list on the Watchmojo UA-cam channel. Everything about it from the gameplay options to its storyline to the character development and chemistry was done very well. I found this game to be the most emotional of the trilogy because of how you have characters who you like and relate to. You revel in their successes a as well as feel the hurt in the sorrow of their setbacks. Just so well done.
Really rajan’s spice is drugs I genuinely always thought it was like actual spices being drugs makes way more sense 😂 also I love this game and this series so it’s always good to see people talking about what made it amazing
Awesome video! I love Sly Cooper, so I loved watching this and comparing it to how I view the game myself. I've always wanted to see a Sly Cooper Stand Select, is that possible?
I remember playing this awesome game. I remember seeing Bentley being crushed by Clockwerk's, or rather, Clock-La's metal beak, and my future sister-in-law Nicole saying “Oh, no!” I'll never forget that moment.
One aspect I need to point out In one of the slide shows during the gothic segment one of the pictures is directly of the contessa’s rear end, and he quickly pans past it without acknowledging it at all I love this game way too much
Great video; this game was one of my favorites from the ps2 even though I never finished it 😬. The visual style of the game and the characters are iconic.
So happy to have stumbled upon your video! Sly 2 is probably my all time favorite video game and it's amazing seeing people make videos on it to this day. I'd be interested in hearing more of your thoughts on the sequels after Sly 2 bc if you ask me, it's downhill from there. Even though Sly 3 had some memorable lines my friends and I still quote to this day (most of them from Venice)
I think the first Sly was ok game. It was charming with its graphics and music and even the story was pretty ok. But Sly 2 just made everything better. I think it still is one of the better games from the Sony exclusives and the best of the series.
This was my absolute favorite game back in the day. And one of the first i 100% finished. Aside from that, not sure if you'll read it but i wrote a react fic using this game and the previous one. Though I'm only just starting the second game.
Did my guy just call that a WWI tank? Bruh, you got a proper turret, AT capabilities, and go faster than a brisk walking pace. The Sly 2 tank looks like a cartoony version of WWII Soviet tanks! Awesome video though. Glad to see Sly 2 get the love it deserves.
A channel that covers Sly Cooper and Jojos? Have fun being my new favorite UA-cam creator ETA: have you ever used Sly Cooper music as background music in your videos? I can't remember if it was you, but I could've sworn I heard some before when watching you
Great vid! I still think Sly 3 is my favorite of the series because of it's variety, but it's always been really close. (Also I know this isn't a popoular statement but InFamous 2 is the better Sucker Punch Sequel 0_O)
The games fantastic but my main issues with it are the stupid tank controls in the fifth episode and the way the story goes in episode 8 with Neyla becoming Clockla. It’s lame as hell.
I love every black ops game and think they’re all great but BO1 will always be my favorite CoD of all time Edit: clearly except anything outside black ops 4 😂 cause those aren’t 100% Treyarch
A Sly Cooper video? A surprise to be sure but a welcome one
Like one of the first games I ever played in life
An actual sly cooper fan!? this series deserves every piece of love it would be designed for.
Always have been
Sly 2 was one of the first games I got for the ps2. Replayed it a year ago and it's still fantastic.
Same !
It really is. Certainly my favorite platformet
My first 3 ps2 game was jak 2 and jak3 and ratchet and clank.
DUDE I was not expecting this. One of my favorite games that doesn’t get a lot of coverage because of how old and obscure it is. Love this game, love you, no homo.
I thought this game deserved this video
@@TheShuckmeister definitely
Arpeggio: Aurora Borealis?
Sly Cooper: Ah- Aurora Borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the world, localized entirely within your blimp?!
Arpeggio: Yes.
Sly Cooper: ...May I see it?
Arpeggio: ...No.
[They both look as Neyla stands between them and Clockwerk.]
Neyla: Arpeggio! *cracks her whip to knock over his cage-chair* Our cargo will be your undoing.
Arpeggio: Ooof! ...No, dear, it's just the Northern Lights.
[Neyla does a betrayal and Arpeggio dies.]
Sly Cooper: Well, Arpeggio, you were an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good boss fight.
I recently played through Sly 2 again and the thing that surprised me the most was just how smooth the controls were. I felt like everybody moved like butter! Even modern games don't control as well as Sly 2 did.
Yeah it really doesn’t feel too floaty at all which is good for this type of platformer
Sly Cooper was a huge piece of my childhood
Same
Sly 2 is the game you play over once every year. No matter how many times Ive 100% it, it just keeps calling me back in.
I would agree if I always had access to it. I have to wait until I go home on break
@@TheShuckmeister You can also use an emulator, that's how I've been playing it when I can't use PS2
Ever since B-masks retrospective ive been desperate for more sly-posting; this is something im very happy to see
Those were good videos
I return to those videos so often
That neyla backstab in the jungle left be scarred as a kid
I love how there's ppl like you still praising Sly after all these years. It's crazy to see these indepth reviews every couple months
It’s a timeless game. Certainly deserves a remake or new entries
The Prague level was the absolute level in the game. The setup and the ambiance are just so good!
Such a nostalgic game to me and my brother ! Our first game on the PS2 and we are fan of the franchise since !
I think I played this one most on the PS2
Sly is literally the first thing I think when someone says "childhood game", I love it
Honestly same
That and SSX Tricky

This era of gaming was GOLDEN you can tell how much love the developing team put into these games

Thanks for the feedback. Commenting certainly helps in the algorithm and I really appreciate that you liked this video enough to do it
literally my two favorite things in the world are jojo's and sly cooper.. this channel is shaping up to be a new fav
Well, I hope I can keep making stuff you like. I want to expand my content more this year
I'm glad you covered this game. The series needs more love than it gets.
The memes in the videos are epic! What a great video!
The shuck covering the staple game series of my childhood, and the very first games i played as kid????? what a day
I hope you liked it!

This footage is from a 100% run. I never do that for games but this one is special
You're a boss for making a Sly video and keeping it alive. Sly 2 was my fav out of the main 3.
You have some edge to you good sir. Your jokes are hilarious and your deadpan delivery of them comes out of nowhere and forces me to pause and say “wait, that was funny.” And it was and it is.

There already was an Ed, Edd and Eddy game for the PS2.
So glad I just got reminded of this game, many memories flooding back.
The long awaited Sly Cooper video, yes! I've been playing this game multiple times a year my entire life, Sly is my favorite game series of all time. Playing the Sly 3 minigames with my girlfriend is a regular occurance.
The Sly Cooper franchise is the most underrated franchise of the PlayStation exclusive
I would agree
My first experience with Sly 2 was through the demo in Racket and Clank 3 and the amount of _style_ the game exuded was enough to get me to buy it. It is definitely one of my all time favorite game and sequel.
I came across the sly cooper series back then in 2005, I just will never forget the first time
this was amazingly done but it’s the humor that really got me here in the video
I’m glad because I took a lot of time trying to write and think up the jokes for this one
Great video everything about this video makes me want to play it again.
You should!
I LOVVVVVE this video. honestly I subbed before 10 seconds in. if you make a sly videos its an instant sub. well done dude
Thanks! I hope you stick around for some of my other videos too
One of my favorite franchises since childhood.
Same really
I would actually love to see your interpretation of how you would make a sly 5 game. You are funny and you peaked my mind and heart with your humor
I’m glad you pointed out the humor. I thought it would be fun to describe the story the way I did and I think it’s one of my funniest videos yet.
As for Sly 5, I might revisit that
@@TheShuckmeister well if you do you got yourself a new subscriber that will be eager to watch it. I also would mind you reviewing silent Hill 2 as a great sequel video as well.

This is now my favorite video on the internet
Specifically because Sly Cooper 2 is my favorite game of all time
And for the last of us part 2 slander 😂
Wow, I certainly appreciate the lofty praise. I’m glad you liked it
Been a long time since i smiled for 35 minutes straight, thank you sincerely for this!
That didn’t hurt your face?
@@TheShuckmeister im going to be honest, you did give me a break when you mentioned Abby! But there poped so many great memories from the rest of the video! :)
The barrel running sound effect IS the best sound effect in any game ever of all time
Never seen your channel before Love the video, I heard the duwang reference and I think to myself isn't that a JoJo reference and then I looked at your channel and realized yes in fact that's what it was.
Yes I cover mostly JoJo and I will continue to but I am expanding into other topics I want to talk about
5:54
Those are rocks/pebbles...
You can hear the slight stone-like sound when they hit you or the wall if you listen close enough.
So Shuck, out of curiosity, do you have a favorite guard type, antagonist, episode, and/or mission from this game?
This IS My personal favorite game of all time
Top 5 for me haha
This game had a well-deserved spot on a top 20 Playstation games of all time list on the Watchmojo UA-cam channel.

Your constant love for sly cooper is making me wanna try all the games on an emulator NGL , you think I should take the plunge?
Definitely do
When i owned a ps2 i beat this game and replayed it on loop so many damn times i could never put it down
i felt a part of the world
That was me too!
Really rajan’s spice is drugs I genuinely always thought it was like actual spices being drugs makes way more sense 😂 also I love this game and this series so it’s always good to see people talking about what made it amazing
Awesome video! I love Sly Cooper, so I loved watching this and comparing it to how I view the game myself.
I've always wanted to see a Sly Cooper Stand Select, is that possible?
Stand Select is kinda a dead series on the channel but I might revisit it
I remember playing this awesome game. I remember seeing Bentley being crushed by Clockwerk's, or rather, Clock-La's metal beak, and my future sister-in-law Nicole saying “Oh, no!” I'll never forget that moment.
Woah that is epic
I remember getting to the India part when I was younger. It was to hard I couldn’t finish it.
I was a little older than 10 I think when I played sly Cooper 1 and man, that game was so hard for my brain to comprehend at the time
Yeah it’s a little out there
One aspect I need to point out
In one of the slide shows during the gothic segment one of the pictures is directly of the contessa’s rear end, and he quickly pans past it without acknowledging it at all
I love this game way too much
Jean learning his lesson and becoming an environmental activist is the best.
Great video! I would not mind if you started making video essays and squeezed in a JoJo's video in between every once in a while
That’s the plan for 2023
Great video; this game was one of my favorites from the ps2 even though I never finished it 😬. The visual style of the game and the characters are iconic.
It really went into the whole graphic aesthetic and it feels like playing a comic book
@@TheShuckmeister most definitely 🎯
That was very sneaky of you to do this.
This was and still is one of my favorite games!
2:00 don't even try it, because bioshock 2 was a really great sequel. Should've just said Devil May Cry 2.

this is the finest video ever made on this game
Sly 2 was my first sly cooper game and holy it's good
I was just ranting about Sly 2 with my friends being the perfect sequel then I come to find this video
Favorite series and favorite installment of said series.
Sly 3 was just as good as sly 2 number 4 left on cliff hanger and sad Dimitri voice actor pasted before came out.
This is an interesting video. I kinda want to give these games a try.
Have a tattoo of sly cooper bc of this game, one of the best games ever
Cool, even though I would never get a tattoo
Pls Mr algorithm pick this one up Sly Cooper is so rad
It's not looking good, but the best way to help is to share this video.
UA-cam doesn't like it when I do things differently...
23:57 That part was perfect lmao
More Shuck content, let’s gooo

if it wasn't for the tanks or clock-la, Sly 2 would be as perfect as a game you could get.
Yep
I am curious what your opinon on Sly 3.
It's a good conclusion and nothing should have come after it
what's the game being referenced at 20:15?
Perfect sequel? More like perfect GAME!
Very close, definitely a Top 10 for me
You are literally perfect. JoJo and sly 2❤️
A channel that covers Sly Cooper and Jojos? Have fun being my new favorite UA-cam creator
ETA: have you ever used Sly Cooper music as background music in your videos? I can't remember if it was you, but I could've sworn I heard some before when watching you
I use Sly music in like 70% of my vids haha
Love that Shuck is a Sly fan AND Jojo fan
I have been saying this since the start. Sly 2 is the best sequal ever
It really is
Sucker Punch is kind of just GOATED like that.
Great vid! I still think Sly 3 is my favorite of the series because of it's variety, but it's always been really close. (Also I know this isn't a popoular statement but InFamous 2 is the better Sucker Punch Sequel 0_O)
Sly 3 is soo great.
Infamous second son???
Underrated game
Not the last time Murry would descend from the heavens
Song at 26:59 ???
The games fantastic but my main issues with it are the stupid tank controls in the fifth episode and the way the story goes in episode 8 with Neyla becoming Clockla. It’s lame as hell.
Besides those, it's basically perfect though
Sly 2 is the best Sly game in my opinion.
Same
Man the sly games were my shit when I was younger me an a buddy would play this every weekend the good ol day’s
I want more sly cooper man hope they bring it back!
Same, I hope they make more soon
I love every black ops game and think they’re all great but BO1 will always be my favorite CoD of all time
Edit: clearly except anything outside black ops 4 😂 cause those aren’t 100% Treyarch
