[@quqbalam5089]

The problem is not the lack of Spider-Man, since Venom has had solo series (pretty sure he is the only Spider-Man villain that has ever accomplished a solo series) and a lot of material from 30 years of history to make a movie centred only on him. The problem is how badly executed the story is going to be. The trailer alone has bad jokes, bad acting and very weird direction. I can't wait to see how Sony screws up my favourite comic villain of all time.

He's got the best Rogues Gallery in Marvel. Mister Negative alone could've carried this game by himself, but watching Otto slowly lose his sanity and become Doc Ock? And good God, that ending.

The one thing this game does better than Arkham is that the city feels alive! Insomniac could've just added random npc's and called it a day, but there's such a variety of interactions from some fangirling over seeing spiderman to shit talkers who listen to JJJ podcasts to people trying to take a picture of you, even people coming up to high five you. And unlike how GTA IV sometimes was conservative, this New York City is *packed* with so many people everywhere in the city. Also the attention to detail in the city with real landmarks as well as making each section of the map feel completely different than just "the buildings look different", makes this one of the best open worlds in gaming.

[@username1660]

To be fair, GTA IV was in developement over a decade ago, 'doubtful they had the tech to have that many entities occupy the same space and have it run on the old platforms.

[@Odinsday]

For the most part, I agree. However, I do think that the Arkham games did make the enemies you fight feel much more fleshed out. In this game, the normal goons don't really say or do much that is really interesting. It was kind of done at points, but never got funny or intriguing enough to listen to. In games like Arkham City however, they felt like real people. They laughed when they talked shit to each other. They would talk about the most random shit just to kill time. They got terrified of you after taking out every last bad guy in the room and actually panic by shooting bullets randomly in the air. It felt so....... human. The interactions with the criminals were actually one of my favorite parts of those games. But in terms of world design, this game destroys everything else. The detail in this game makes GTA V looking like fucking shit in comparison.

[@sergioruiz733]

I agree, it adds a different pacing that honestly after a few hours was a welcone change for me personally, it made the world feel more real to play as some more vulnerable the Spiderman.

[@undertakernumberone1]

it's not "whack". It's a Spider-Man game, not a stealth game. So, imho, it's completely valid to complain about those only halfway interesting stealth segments where you don't play Spider-man. if it'd been a case of Spider-Man having to take out opponents while not alerting the others, I think they'd have fit far more well to the game. That way it would've still been a change of gameplay (you can't go in "all guns blazing" style but would have to plan it more carefully), but it'd still be more in tune with the rest of the game.

[@thisbubblygoodness7611]

undertakernumberone1 gotta disagree with you, although the stealth with MJ and Miles could have been improved, it's a good technique in game design to take away the things that are familiar and put you in a situation where you can't do what you usually do. a good example of this would be playing Ellie in The Last of Us, it takes away the familiarity of playing as Joel who has all these guns and equipment, and puts you in the prospective of someone who is physically weaker and doesn't have as many weapons, it provides the player to think a bit differently stealth with MJ could have been improved, but it certainly makes you appreciate spiderman's abilities and I think that's one of the reasons why these stealth parts are in there

The way the story played out, Miles doesn’t have any connection to GG and ends up more connected to Li so it would’ve been cool to see The demons doing stuff in the background and Li taking a backseat biding his time (it felt like he got involved in person super early and kinda for no reason besides maybe seeing Norman get hurt).

@ahsan nawab I thought the pacing was great except in a few parts, I dont have a problem with the pacing in the main story. Pacing in side missions is terrible but that's less important, but I still hope they fix that in the sequel, whenever that comes out. As for the M.J missions, I'd say their worse than people shape it out to be, in my opinion they're the third biggest weakness of the game, after Screwball and the side missions. Edit: in my opinion of course

[@Me-wx1mt]

my one *other* nitpick is about the (spider-man) stealth/base segments. I don't like how you can't keep doing the stealthy "pick em off one by one" type combat after you take out the first stage of villains, after that the villains just walk in and are like "there he is". But the combat is so good it's basically not even a bad thing because it makes you improvise and stay on your feet.

My favorite boss fights were probably the Electro/Vulture and Rhino/Scorpion battles. Loved how you had to fight two of them at once, and how you could use them against each other. That's classic Spider-Man and very well designed by Insomniac. Hope they bring more of this to future games. Imagine fighting a full Sinister Six

[@Shadowballs12]

Rhino/Scorpion was definitely my favorite fight

[@GianlucaSorrentinoVideos]

@@Ethan-hi8jq In terms of narrative, probably yes. But in terms of gameplay I think those 2v1 battles were more interesting

[@keystone5750]

In terms of gameplay, the 2v1’s are probably the best, in terms of story, Otto is definitely the best. But my favourite fights are probably Taskmaster and Mr. Negative 2. Taskmaster because he’ll fight you anywhere, and the battle might not end in the same place it started. Mr. Negative 2 because you’ve been fighting the Demons throughout the entire game, so it feels really rewarding to finally take down their boss. Also the fight just has so much going on visually.

I think the portions where you play as MJ or Miles definitely could have been done better, especially if the point was to do the whole "bag of spilling" trope to artificially bump up difficulty and change up game play mechanics, which I think is totally necessary - if busting into a room and beating everyone up is the solution to every situation, it would get old. But like I said, they could have been done a little more cleverly. I feel like they just didn't want to write in a way for Peter to temporarily lose his powers because that would be too trope-y, but they could have put him into a situation where he still has his powers but cannot USE them overtly lest he reveal his secret identity. Being forced to sneak around and not use powers but knowing that you HAVE that power would be anxiety inducing, especially if the Demons were beating people up. And then move into a stealth portion where Peter has to take down the Demons without being spotted by them or by civilians, because he can't change into his costume, so Peter wouldn't be able to just jump around and cling to walls - it would play not all that different from the final two MJ missions, but you'd still be playing as Peter so I think it would be more satisfying. But overall I agree - the problems I have with this game are not enough to stop me from loving it. I'll shower the game in praise and ignore the things I don't like, because as you said, the game made me feel good. Spiderman is a virtuous character, the world is bright and not oppressive like in the Arkham games, there's no internal conflict like in the inFAMOUS games, you're just a straight up superhero who does good things for his city and sometimes that's all you need.

[@XMorpheus3000]

A lot of people seem to miss this: the option to skip the puzzle levels is an accessibility thing. Of course the developers want you to do them, but they're thinking about other kinds of people, very much like how they have auto-complete QTEs. It's not for us.

[@Sonofavenger]

I'll be honest, in Bioshock, the hacking minigames were some of my favorite parts. I'd purposefully waste time making the most complex solutions possible. They were fun.

[@flameron1]

CaptainThunderWolf idk. I liked the puzzles.

[@Hauptseite]

I don't think that's a good logic to follow along with. I mean, why not just make the puzzles more interesting to play rather than just making them skippable? If we're gonna say, "You can skip it," then why not apply that logic to the whole game? "Hey, I hate all of the stealth in this game. Let me just skip it." "I don't want to fight this boss. Let's skip it." "Maybe, I'll just skip the whole game." Just feels like a cop out answer to me. I mean the devs really should just make it more engaging or not include it at all. That's the entire point of a game; to be engaging, fun and challenging. I also don't buy the "other types of people" justification either. There is no game in existence that will appeal to everyone. You have to pick your audience you want to appeal to, design your game around that audience and the mechanics you choose to implement. They clearly wanted to inject stealth into this game, for example, but not everyone likes stealth games and many Spider-Man games in the past didn't have much or any stealth in them whatsoever. What about those players? Should we just put a "can't be bothered" button in there for them too?

I was never a Spider-Man fan. I read one comic once as a child (I was 7 or 8), watched some episodes of the 1994 cartoon and saw the Sam Raime movies because my older brother wanted to see them. After that I never had any interest in Spider-Man. But when this game was released and everybody and their grandma said how amazing it is, I wanted to play it. Not because it was Spider-Man, but because it was a great game. And I loved it. I loved every second I played that game. To fully understand it I searched the internet for every detail I needed. On the villians, on Peter, and all the characters in the game. Sure, I don't have the insight a real fan has, but it is enough to appreciate the world and the inhabitants of this world. And the story is so good. During the final boss fight I cried the whole time. It was heart breaking. I give this game a 9/10 and can't wait for the next one. P.S.: I liked Prototype a lot and really thought it was a good idea to copy some of the ideas and the gameplay. It really worked out.

I bought a PS4 specifically for this game. It did not disappoint. Glad to see someone who is a heavy comic reader enjoy it as well. One point about the writing that I would like to make: is that it works incredibly well even if you don't know anything about / only some parts of the story. For example: I didn't know Negative Mans real name, so when it was revealed to me in the story that he was who he is, it was shocking. However for my girlfriend, who did know, she enjoyed watching the rise of the villain. The mentor that Peter works with also has an amazing story arc. I also really like how Spider Man is indirectly responsible for every event that causes the city to 'fall', if you will. Being the character who sets these events in motion, even though he was only doing what was right, is a really fantastic way to engage the player in the character they're in control of. I loved this game. Again, really happy to hear that you did to. Keep up the great work, Cosmonaut!
