The one thing that every sly cooper game does, is make you feel sorry for some of the villains sometimes. Like with mugshot how he got bullied when he was a kid, arpeggio who can’t fly because of his wingspan (which I don’t see why still can’t fly because he’s a type of parrot that probably is that size, but can still fly), panda king because he wanted to be a firework artist, but they cast him out because he’s not rich. Honestly you feel sorry for some of them and see why they would it.
I think Arpeggio is supposed to have some sort of physical disability that completely prevents him from flying, or maybe his wings just didn't develop properly. That could explain why he felt so frustrated at his own body and why he eventually developed an immortality complex; a lifetime of watching other birds growing healthier than him and likely bullying him as well did some heavy damage to his self-esteem.
Arpeggio’s fate was clearly sealed either way. Even if he had successfully entered the frame without Neyla interfering, he’d be shot down in the end anyways or perhaps overtaken by Clockwerk’s consciousness returning. And what’s worse, despite his ingenuity planning this insidious plot, he himself lacked any further qualities to be called a true villain. He could’ve contributed plenty given his genius intellect, but gave in to his resentment for all the other flying birds of the world.
The fact Neyla even mentioned she was feeling something when she was in the frame, Clockwerk definitely was trying to return. With Arpeggio, I wouldn’t be surprised if Clockwerk took over quicker.
@@crimsondynamo615 Clockwerk would've also dissolved or consumed Neyla and then become fully resurrected. I doubt that Neyla would know how everyone she used and betrayed felt as she would've faced demise by Clockwerk consuming her. It don't matter as they're both dead and erased from existence.
@@crimsondynamo615 The big question is: Was Clockwerk always a thing that could be piloted by another person? Probably not. So Arpeggio must have modified Clockwerk's design to allow for another person to control the body. This raises the question if Clockwerk's brain was ever re-inserted. Not sure why Arpeggio would've wanted to have Clockwerk's brain in the final product if his plan was to just use his body. It's plausible that the brain was left out to make room for the cockpit for Arpeggio/Neyla to use.
I’m still annoyed we didn’t get to have a boss fight with Arpeggio. We could’ve beaten him and then Neyla would deliver the final blow and then she would reveal herself as the final villain
I hear ya! That's one of my oh so few complaints about this game. I would've loved to see more of Arpeggio! And maybe, if he had a boss fight, he would've pulled out some cool gadgets or devices in an attempt to take you out....
I have heard that in the orginal plan there would have been one more extra chapter. In this chapter Arpeggio would have had a bigger role. However because the limit of time and budget they had to squeeze his role.
I wish we had an Arpeggio boss fight. He’s the only Klaww Gang member who didn’t have a boss fight, only his second in command Neyla became the final boss by merging with the Clockwerk Frame.
I question Neyla’s motives. She basically took Clockwerk’s body with all the power and immortality just for the sake of having them. Where as Arpeggio had more motive then anyone else, he wanted to finally fly and be immortal. Just imagine Clock-Peggio. A well mannered and properly refined Clockwerk with a low and menacing robot British accent.
I always thought the reason she became clockwerk was because I kept on failing missions with her, especially the chase ones where I beat the stuffing out of her. Man I was a sadistic kid.
I think she was influenced by Clockwerk, myself. I think Clockwerk was looking for someone young sucker he could promise immortality to and extract their soul in order to stay alive.
Theory: I think that Clockwerk’s Brain was the only Part of him that was Organic Reason: I think that without Clockwerk’s Brain, anyone could fuse with the frame. If you know what I’m trying to say here?
@@JeffreyBarkdull Indeed. However, the facts also made me wonder... what happened to Clockwerk's soul? The very flame that also housed such hate? Perhaps it faded away when Sly defeated him back in Russia... one can repair the machine, but can never bring back the soul that came with it.
I feel like the only big thing that could’ve made Arpeggio better was expanding on his relationship with Neyla. Like maybe shown more dialogue between them, but as it is I like how in his final moments Arpeggio is rendered as pathetic, which goes in line with his character
Honestly I would have hoped that during Apergio's speech Clockwerk's body was like Bentley said in the first game starting his regeneration process and reactivate.
I hated CLock-la in this game, I think it would've been much better that while during the conversation between Cooper and Arpaggio, we get a view from Clockwerk's eyes as he comes back online, and when Arpaggio gets closer to Clockwerk to go in, Clockwerk regains control and kills him before Sly and Neyla.
Oh god that would be so much better. I never liked that we didn’t get to see Clockwerk return, just a hollow shell of that menacing owl from the first game.
I like that idea, but I would nix the first person POV thing, and just have him suddenly come back to life and kill Arpeggio like a really nasty jumpscare.
@@prisma8375 I admit yeah, that would've scared the shit out of me as a kid. Then after the fact, he stands up, and faces Cooper and in his voice says "I've told you before Cooper. My hatred is eternal."
Took me an embarrassing amount of years to realize Arpeggio and Nelya died. Like was wondering why they didn't show up in the where are they now credits
It would be incredibly neat if Arpeggio comes back in Sly Cooper 5 (if there's going to be one) as an animal who survived Neyla's ignorant attack while still permanently unable to fly where at first, the guards, including Inspector Fox, arrest him for the crimes he committed previously, but of course, they all forget to mirandize him, so the judge simply lets the parrot go immediately. Soon after, Arpeggio becomes good from now on, knowing there's no point being bad, & teams up with Sly Cooper himself as a playable character we can all control. By then, Arpeggio lives longer than we hoped. That should be perfect.😁
I got like a small complaint about Arpeggio’s plan to gaining immortality with the Clockwerk Frame. Why would he choose Paris to unleash the hypnotic light show of hatred after the citizens of Paris consumed Illegal Spice through Dimitri’s Night Club? Couldn’t he pick a much larger city like say Washington DC, Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, San Francisco, Chicago, Moscow, Saint Petersburg or, why not New York City since it has a lot of Night Clubs and a lot of crime ridden areas for Dimitri to sell his illegal spice to the public? That way the light show of hate in NYC would give Arpeggio twice the power he needed to fuel Clockwerk’s Immorality. The bigger the population, the more hatred needed to keep Clockwerk Immortal.
I say the producers should bring back Arpeggio as a survivor of Neyla's attack, plus a reformed citizen and team up with Sly Cooper in the next sequel even though he'll still be flightless as a penguin that time. By then, surely there must be some weapon/weapons he can use on enemies as a playable flightless character. Hopefully, that'll suit the world.
I have the sly collection, but mine is significantly less high quality than TH-cam videos I'm seeing. Is this because the pixels are smaller on phones than that of a TV??
No. This is because this channel plays on ps3 the original versions. The Collection is remastered by the company who made thieves in time. Like other games, the remastered is a drop off in quality.
Think about @AISUYU COLD, the technology that made Clockwerk Immortal didn’t exist back then, so something or someone had to of brought it to him from the future.
I don’t think there’s a complicated reason. It’s simple. She wanted immortality. She wanted power. There is no complicated reason. She betrayed everyone for it.
@@gravitykat714 STILL, I think a 5th sly game could bring out Neyla's father, who vowed revenge on sly over the last 2 games. He ordered Dr. M to attack the Cooper Vault. He ordered Le Paradox to steal Sly's ancestors' canes to erase the cooper legacy for good. and he was the one who forced Penelope to betray the Cooper Gang.
Honestly I don’t understand Neyla we don’t even know why she did what she did there was no backstory only the fact she a crooked interpol agent Arpegio should have been the final boss not Neyla that’s my only take away from a near perfect game
Neyla betrayed Sly and Cooper Gang, betrayed Carmelita, and police, and even her own gang, Klaww Gang!
Man, she's using everybody as pawns!
Reminds me of Dimitri Rascalov in GTA IV
She has no one left to betray
And for what, Immortality!?
How is she using everyone as pawns
I don’t understand

I agree on all those notes.
Especially the Panda King most of the rich are scum to their cores so whatever Panda King did to them they deserved it.
But there are still many irredeemable bastards mixed in.
Such as everyone’s favorite arrogant, sexist rooster, General Tsao.

It would be impossible to have a fight with him, as physically he's extremely weak. Sly would likely outright kill him if he attacked him.

Maybe that walking bird cage of his could've been tricked out with all kinds of heavy weaponry.
I kinda wish Arpeggio had more of an arc tbh
Hell yea. The fact he’s already a top tier villain without it proves that.
I wish Clockwerk, the real real work returned.

Right ? Same goes for Neyla.
I like how Neyla was just a bystander in this whole conversation between Sly and Arpeggio.
Fun fact, the voice actor for Arpeggio is also Kessler's voice actor in Infamous.
And both series were made by the same studio
@@edmartinez925 With the same name
bentley: yeah right

I doubt he would’ve remained refined for too long. It’s likely the true Clockwerk would’ve revived and taken control once more.
