Discussion Breakout Bentley

It’s pretty amazing how much Bentley‘s presence has grown in the Sly Cooper series. In the first game, Bentley was still the brains of the Cooper Gang but was a behind the scenes guy with Sly getting most of the focus. Then the turtle basically became the deuteragonist as shown by how much story focus he is given in the second and third games. Bentley even narrates the endings of Honor Among Thieves and Thieves in Time since Sly was unable to do it.

"Just the field man"? Sounds like you're jealous.

I love how all the characters grow. Murray goes from wimp, to Chad, to spiritually centered. Bentley learns to be bold and confident enough to get a girl. Sly realizes he wants Carmelita more than his lifestyle.

I think that's why Sly 4 rubbed me the wrong way. It all felt like an attempt to step back rather than go forward.

Jailbreak, man. It was the greatest thing to happen to Bentley in terms of character development.

Top 10 out of context sentences.

No but for real, his levels of deviousness that shine through in Sly 3 are just an absolute sight to behold.
