I think it's ultimately good that new versions of Spider-Man appear every so often. It's unfortunately true that Unlimited and Spectacular ended before they should, but I think each iteration brings new ideas and new creative talent that keep Spidey's story from getting stale. For example, as much flak as Ultimate gets, their team does an excellent job interpreting Spidey's character and isn't afraid of some of the crazier stuff in the comic lore.

Unlimited ended on such a cliffhanger as well. As far as we know, the Synaptic launched thousands of symbiotes into the sky in Counter New York and everyone got infected and/or killed.

It's a common issue with Spider-Man, but far more apparent than usual in this game: What the gently caress is he swinging from?

Oh, hey, a Spider-Man thread. I remember having a fun time with a bunch of these gam- FUUUUUUUUCK THIS BOSS  Pizdec posted:OK, finally we're at the end, Spidey is ready for the ultimate showdown with Electro, and he thinks he knows where to find him. "I think I know where he is", that's what he says. And, uh, that's it. We don't know what the place is. Even after we see it, it's never explained, somewhere up high I guess? We don't know how Spidey knows. Because it's up high? And Spider-Man's clothes are tattered now? Ah gently caress it, I could swear there was more to this scene, I guess they cut something out because of the WTC thing? Yes. The original script had Electro yelling "Top of the world, man!" and Spider-Man figuring out where to go based on that. I believe I heard that the ending was also supposed to be longer.

Thor was actually supposed to appear in the original ending. And a lot of people seem to hate the bosses in Enter Electro.

I don't mind new iterations of stuff, I enjoyed pretty much all of Batman series since the original Animated Series. It's when they give you a gem and replace it with crap that I take issue.  Anyway, the tower level was one of the most difficult for me. Mostly because I kept getting lost, and Vulture kept throwing crap at me as I fumbled around.

As for update stuff, it never occurred to me that the Web Dome actually does make you completely invincible, even if it makes no dang sense.

You'd have to play the PS1 games to realize that's an effective strategy, since nothing beats web dome in the game of Spider-Paper-Scissors... yet

I never even thought to use Web Dome against half of the stuff you can use it for. I mean, how could a Web Dome protect against Shocker's giant gently caress-off vibration beam in the subway?

Honestly, I'm not sure that Scorpion can even be considered a villain here. Like the comic version open tried to kill someone even if it was Jameson, a known rear end in a top hat. This version just wanted to escape whoever, for seemingly no reason whatsoever, put him in his suit and mistakenly assumed that Spider-Man was with them meaning he's acting purely out of self-defense.

GamesAreSupernice posted:I do remember feeling really bad for Scorpion, and I do like that they gave him a unique character for the game I really like it when villains are portrayed not as bad people, but insane and/or out of control people. It makes them much more interesting and tragic as opposed to "I'm evil just because," or, "I want money". This version of Scorpion in especially tragic, what with him screaming about how spiders are crawling all over him and how he hates the suit that he's stuck in.

It was a shame that I couldn't play the Spiderman 3 Xbox360 movie game because that had a bunch of sidequests with villains being given more to do, the game just made me motion sick when swinging though.

I have to say, Willem Dafoe really kills it as a voice actor. Then again, he's just a fantastic actor period, so I'm not too surprised. I forgot how badly Goblin gets destroyed by spammed Cannonball Kicks. It's kind of embarrasing.

Willem Dafoe in this game is also a rare example of a famous actor's likeness in a licensed game being less terrifying than the actual person.

These are the levels where I relented and switched the difficulty to normal. The Goblin fight in particular is kind of bullshitty, because you have to get through the slog of the aerial part before you get to the ground level battle, at which point Willem Dafoe promptly kicks your rear end before you have a chance to develop a strategy. It didn't help that I tended to use up all my webbing in the aerial part because I shot him with normal webbing instead of the impact variety BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE loving TUTORIAL loving TOLD ME TO DO  . Eventually I figured out how to cheese him with the crowd control combos, but it was rough.Also, I don't remember the banter audio overlapping like that. What is it with Spider-Man games and audio issues?

I actually enjoyed the stealth levels, but now I'm retroactively mad about them because it turns out you don't actually have to be in the dark areas to avoid being spotted. What other lies do you have in store for me, game?!
