Game's great. Story's opening is pretty good. Glad I was able to solve Kingpin's Nefarious Figma Puzzle.

Harlock posted:Love the game so far. Falls into the same Arkham trap, though, of how I wish the license was bigger. Imagine if Insomniac had the whole Marvel license and not just Spider-Man. There's tons of references to the other New York marvel characters (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Avengers Tower, Dr. Strange) but it's a shame no one shows up. I would kill for side missions with Luke Cage or Dr. Strange.

Well the good news is that this was Marvel’s opening foray into creating a new video game “universe”, and it’s sold loving gangbusters already so expect a boatload of Disney money to start flowing into developers soon. I think the next thing is Avengers from the Tomb Raider folks but we haven’t seen anything on that in a while.

Someone has to be pitching an Ant-Man game because when watching Ant-Man and the Wasp I kept thinking how amazing the size shifting could be if done right in a game.

I came home from work last night and in a kind of tired, low effort headache daze got every single backpack in the city (and every tower in the process). The movement in this game is great, I kept expecting reviews of it to be a bit exaggerated, but nope, once you get the hang of it you're just Spidermanning around. Something happened to me while backpack hunting. I ignored a car chase that I accidentally swung over on my way to grab one and of course by the time I grabbed it everything was over. Didn't mind really and set off. About 5 minutes later JJJ gets a call from a dude who was injured in the chase while Spiderman was in the area and JJJ goes on a rant about how Spiderman must have had better things to do because he's a Millenial with no priorities.

 Not sure how big this will be since I'm phone posting but this is a screencap from the opening cutscene in Peter's apartment. I think the best sticky note is one that's partially obscured that says "Spider-Mobile - good idea or GREAT idea?"

JJJ railed against punk music, and then had to lay down at the thought there might be some Spider-Man imitator dressed like a punk rocker. Can't wait to see what he has to say about the other costumes.

Sedisp posted:For one glorious second whem its shown that JJJ has a podcast I thought they were going to make him Alex Jones Jonah Jameson. I'm actually really glad they didn't, maybe that would've been funny in 2015 when all we had to concern ourselves with Jones was turning the frickin' frogs gay but now that the dude influences national policy it'd add a really cynical and sinister vibe to a character as inherently silly as JJJ.

Alex Jones is banned from every platform online not run by Nazis (and Twitter) and is about to get turbo hosed by a combination of lawsuits by his wife and grieving Sandy Hook parents. It's great, it's never been a better time to make fun of Alex Jones.

I think I just sussed out the combat. Instinct is to go in guns blazing because you've got a lot of movesets and spidey is supposed to be all agile and stuff. Actually, you should completely hold off and counter everything (basically, prioritise pressing the dodge button first before launching into a counter attack). It feels a lot more flowey and less chaotic that way.

Also, even early in the game, knocking a webbed enemy into a wall is effectively a one-hit KO.

Doc M posted:Yeah, those guys take way too many hits considering they're just big fat dudes with no superpowers. Well, unless a diet consisting exclusively of pizza, Cheetos and Mountain Dew gives you superpowers, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case Constipation is a natural shield to launchers ans x-x-x combos. Loving the game and combat, but i just finished Okami and was replaying Bayo 2, so im barely doing web stuff and instead grinded my way through dodge upgrades. Muscle memory fucks me up sometimes with thrying to dodge with the right trigger.

not 100% on this game so far, I kinda worried it would basically be spiderman 2 but HD and it seems thats pretty much the case, I loved that game when it came out but kinda wanted more. So far it seems to be that plus minigames. it may well get better though, I'm not very far into it

Harlock posted:Spider Cop is retired though For now.  Also now I realize how crime bonus tokens work. I've been doing all the side missions in a row and everytime I stopped a crime after a while I noticed the bonus objectives were staying checked. At first I thought it was a bug but now I see that there's a set for each 'type' of crime you stop. And once you complete it it's gotten. Don't have to worry about trying for it again. And if you miss it you can do it later. Which means I'm still missing that 'Stop a car chase without taking damage' bonus from regular thugs. :T Zaa Boogie fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Sep 8, 2018 |

The black ops costumes only appear for a couple pages in a flashback. My nemory of Secret War is that the art took so long to do that the schedule slip was years. The gap between issue 1 and 2 was huge and i never even saw issue 3. It had a really good idea though, The logical divide between how bad guys with tech worth millions were using it to rob banks.
