If I'm remembering correctly, you also get the Silent Obliteration much earlier, or Sly already has it in his tool belt in Sly 3? Compared to like... Episode 6 when we get in Sly 2?

Silent obliteration is mid game for sly 3 (flight of fancy) late game for sly 2 (he who tames the iron horse) and early game for sly 4 (turning japanese)

Its a storytelling meme.  A game has the pros from a film being that it can be told visually and can better give people watching/experiencing exactly what it means to convey, while also having the pros of books in that games can be incredibly long as they don’t necessarily have to be done in a single sitting.  Games are the superior narrative medium as it has the pros of both books and movies with the cons of neither. (of course games have their own cons, the main one being that if you suck at games you’ll never learn the full story because you can’t get far into it lol) 

Games being a superior ststorytelling medium than movies and books is a WHOPPING claim and I’m going to require more than two paragraphs and a confusing meme if I am going to be convinced me of that. (And im going to open my counterargument with: maybe watch a few criterion collection movies, or read some classic novels)

Its theoretical.  Games have the potential to be better storytelling mediums than movies and books because it has neither of the fallbacks of length of movies or lack of concrete visuals for novels.. Obviously not every game is going to be an incredible storytelling masterpiece but the pieces are there for it to be one.

Where do comics fall into this mess

They’re between games and books. They have the lack of time restraint that books and games have, but they don’t quite have the same visual freedom that movies/tv shows and games have in that they are still images as opposed to moving ones, and they don’t have sound (unless its an online semi-animated comic)

I think you’re wrong on literally every single point here, but I’m going to have to wait till I’m off work to respond to this. I dont want to be snippy (short version is: comparison of art mediums on theoretical grounds has no place in serious discussion of art or media, unless you’re a tech bro trying to sell something)

I’m mostly playing devils advocate for this tbh. No opinion one way or the other, just putting the idea of what this image might mean, and the only thing these three mediums have in common is the fact they are story telling mediums.

I DONT KNOW WHY YA’LL AREN’T SMASHING THAT REBLOG BUTTON THIS IS THE BIGGEST REVELATION THE SLY FANDOM’S HAD SINCE WE ALL REALIZED WE WERE NEVER GETTING A SLY 5

Surprised you mentioned the dagger and not the tooth of the mammoth that just happened to have been alive at just the right time the grizz was stealing eggs. At least there’s some argument of plausibility of a samurai dagger connecting back to feudal japan but the ice age took place over almost 12,000 years. Heck, according to the wiki it’s just a fossil necklace, so its possible it could have sent them back even further in time to any of the dinosaurs.

That’s probably why they included it. Remember, they also had that microphone thing where you could make a sound in it and it’d alert the guards of your presence.
