DLC Inc posted:I will say that sometimes I can see why people dislike the timing for dodges when gunmen and rocket guys are aggressive and the lines of fire start at different times; a normal dodge won't always clear it all so that's when it's best to jump and do a zip or a dodge while airborne instead. And yeah the big guy attacks take practice to dodge as I actually got wrecked by them early in the game, though they get easier to approach when you get the ability to swing them around. I feel like the key, in most cases, is to not let yourself get distracted by what you see the enemies doing, and to instead focus almost entirely on the Spider-sense. My mindset during fights basically consists of classifying what the type of enemy is (so I know what type of attack to use) and watching the Spider-sense (and in the case of Sable troops, watching for those dropping binding thingies).

" and stuff like that as I pummeled and webbed my way through them. Really satisfying, and the whole thing looked pretty cool as well.

The other downside to finishers is if you're using them a lot they'll absolutely kill your combo score.

I think what he's asking about is if the side missions that only get unlocked after you do a certain amount of story missions are still available after finishing the main story. I don't know the answer because I beat them all before finishing the main story, but I would guess they are just because the way the game is set up they seem to try pretty hard to not lock you out of anything and the side missions are structured in a way that they still make sense to do after the main quest.

I just finished Act II and I have to say that this game is pretty good in spite of Spider-Man having the lamest villains and the mind boggling decision to make the big bad guy a bald fatso with stupid glasses. Hopefully Spider-Man 2 has Kraven and Venom.

Everyone knows Firestorm has the lamest villains. It's why they all got killed in the '80s run of Suicide Squad. The only appropriate opposition for a dude who can transmute matter on a molecular level is, of course, a dude who's really good at knots.

The point of Doc Ock was pretty much always that he was a pasty schlub that made himself super strong robo-arms so people wouldn't push him around anymore.

I also think Spiderman's villians, are a little....lame. Doc Ock is cool, but here I feel if you don't have a familiarity with Spider-stuff, you only barely get the cliffnotes of what they're about and what they do based off the bios and audio logs. but also you can just pause and go read a wiki article for five minutes so eh Like I stopped the fight with Scorpion and then proceeded to read about him for like ten minutes cause I had no idea why this man did or said any of things he did or said other than he's an evil man with an animal motif Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Sep 20, 2018 |

You're working with Dr Octavius on prosthetic limbs within the first hour of the game, congrats to anyone who avoided any spoilers but if what happens later is a surprise to anyone they should probably get checked for head injuries.

I figured Shocker was part of the group since he was in the game.

Got my first ever PS4 platinum trophy   The last trophy I needed to get was the one where you need to pull two enemies together with the trip mine 10 times. It required a lot of trying to get into the best position and being punched by the enemy and just re-doing an old fisk hideout. Here's the footage of the glorious moment I received the trophy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtA9TJUA4h8

Funky Valentine posted:It's like Harvey Dent in Dark Knight - you know full well what's going to happen the moment he steps on screen, the only question is how. That's not always true, though. Fans might know the character's ultimate fate in the comics without it ever happening in an adaptation or without it happening right away. Dent didn't turn into Two-Face in the Burton films. Connors didn't become the Lizard in the Raimi films. And fans weren't convinced Gwen had to die in the Webb series. Same with the mystery of the Goblin identity in the Spectacular cartoon. Octavius is Dr. Octopus but maybe he was set up to become that only in a sequel.

Also, Gwen's death is bad, it was badly written, was a cheap echo to the death of Uncle Ben, and everything to do with it since has been bad except bringing her back to life in another universe.

Did anyone else kinda root for Vulture and Shocker in their fight against Spiderman? I really got the feeling that they knew they were in an uphill battle against this guy who had already defeated them independently several times, and made an effort to combine their strengths and work together to defeat him. My one gripe about this game is that it doesn't have any post-game story-related content until the DLC things. It kinda kills my desire to keep playing when there's nothing but a couple story-less bases and crime events left to do. Game needed more side quests along the lines of Tombstone's, and should have saved at least a couple for the end-game (and maybe made one really hard or something).

drat, I haven't actually finished a game in ages, but once everything hit the fan I just had to push through the missions to see how they played it out. That was a real gut punch at the end too  Now to finish off a couple sidequests and the all the bases that popped up I ignored.

I sorta felt bad because everyone else sorta felt like they played a bigger part compared to the Vulture. Electro was the big chase in the Raft, Rhino had the sequence with Miles, Scorpion set off the weird drugged sequence, and Li and Octavius are obvious. Even Shocker got a dramatic chase and a boss fight he didn't have to share, Fisk was the first boss and constant presence in the first two Acts, Tombstone got a whole series of sidequests, Taskmaster has his challenges, Black Cat is getting DLC. Even Screwball got an interesting sidequest. Vulture is just like this background member of the six. He gets to say like one line on the Raft before immediately getting webbed up, then he gets to grab Spider-man to bring him to the Electro/Vulture boss fight, but even that seems more Octavius's planning at work rather then his actual contributions. Just wish he got something extra to make him seem interesting and a bit more threatening then the Jetpack Sable agents.

Those are definitely two things I haven't done. I never bothered with the Trip Mines apart from a couple of very specific optional objectives, and I didn't even know you could tie enemies together with it (though maybe there was a tutorial which I immediately forgot because frankly there are a lot of forgettable things in this amazing game).

The tutorial just makes it look like a stealth thing, which is great and all, but they're really good in combat too. You can just hit a flying guy with a mine and they'll get taken out in seconds. Webbing guys together is great too. Just launch them the next time you're in a melee and watch what happens.
