In the first game I think Pete says he heard they’re on the west coast or something (west coast avengers?)

The West Coast Avengers, with their giant headquarters on the east coast. It doesn’t really bother me, as too many superheroes tends to bog down things quickly without really good writing, but my point is that if you raise the stakes past a certain point people will start asking questions

I would love an ongoing joke about how the Avengers are always juuuust not quite available to help moreso than I ever want to see any of them make an appearance tbh Same with the Wolverine game, just stick with X-Men characters and maybe a brief Spider cameo for good measure, no need to make it messy by throwing Iron Man/Thor/etc into the mix

JordanKai posted:I know that saying "where are the Avengers during all this?" is a bottom-of-the-barrel nitpick, but I thought it was really funny and couldn't help but laugh when I passed by the Avengers HQ during the Lizard chase. Can't Thor or Captain Marvel come help me out? We're tearing the whole block asunder over here! Also I'm still jonesing for Spider-content so I went back to Spider-Man Remastered and two things immediately struck me: First, the game is just so ugly now in comparison. I could really feel the loss of all the lighting effects and the less detailed environments, it was jarring. And second, there is so much more to do. You boot it up and the map is absolutely screaming at you with icons. Take pictures! Catch pigeons! Do experiments! Hey, there's a base here! Taskmaster challenge! Find the Black Cat! Backpacks, there's backpacks everywhere! Different base! We've got four different varieties of bases actually! Also, I like SM1's photos better. Yeah, I get what they were going for in SM2, but actually signposting you to go check out all the neat Easter Eggs they built into the scenery is more fun as a player.

Here's my idea for a future Spider-man game. Eddie Brock knew one of the many people killed during the Spider-man Lizard chase (it will be retconned that 130 people were killed) and acquired the symbiote. He is angry at Peter because Peter isn't a normal human like him - he's a CapnAndy posted:No reason why it can't just be a hunter who put on a construction worker vest to trick Miles. Yeah, it being Chameleon makes no sense unless they just had completely different people writing the main scenario vs the side content.

One of the things I actually appreciate about Insomniac's Spidey games is that relative disconnect, where they're still visibly in a Marvel universe but nobody else is around. It reminds me of a bunch of the comics I'd read as a kid where Spidey would get into trouble and immediately try to get the Avengers, FF, or Dr. Strange, only to either be prevented from doing so or discover they're out of town. There's a bit of nostalgia, I suppose, to Spider-Man having to solve his own problems because no one else is around to do it for him.

The spider bot trophy is goddamn awful. Idg how people even completed this. The trophy hints are totally broken so it’s basically just flying over every inch of the city hoping to cross over one. Why the gently caress wouldn’t they just put them on the map after you finish the game.

I ended up using a screenshot guide for the last dozen I missed after seemingly scouring the map though.

It wasn't so bad after I turned on the nearby scanner for tech parts, since they show up on it too. Between that and the occasional visual flash I got them all relatively painlessly.

The game map tells you what districts have bots you haven't gotten, so it was really just a matter of flying over the smaller districts until a bot appeared

I think I found all but two or three Spiderbots just through regular gameplay (with the minimap thing on & popping scans every so often). The last ones I narrowed down by checking the districts and I think there was only one I had to look up. Dunno what the deal was with that quest ending though. A reference to the old PS games I never played? The implications of the whole thing seem bigger than whatever else is happening but Peter & Ganke just shrug it off

She’s the bartender at a bar for super villains I guess, and that’s just how that universe would have looked in the film. Literally art direction set by another group that then dropped their half.

Finally got around to finishing this game today. I enjoyed the side stuff and the low stakes parts of the main plot quite a bit, I think they got a reasonably decent ending down and imo they mostly nailed the part where Miles gets Peter away from the Symbiote but most of the rest of the main story, especially the middle third is a mess pacing wise imo. I still reckon they should have either had Kraven get killed by Peter or at least really, really badly hurt as the catalyst for the "oh poo poo he's going too far" part of the story. Or they should have had Kraven very much regret his machinations in creating Venom when he comes to face him, just would have made it way more of a satisfying payoff for his storyline for him to end up cowering, running in fear from this absolute monster he's had a hand in making. Instead he gets to die exactly as he wants, satisfied and happy, being killed by a weird alien monster. I'm curious what they'll do for DLC and the sequel. I assume Carnage was left dangling to make us unsure which he'll make it into cause Yuri says "it could take months or even years to find out where he is" but like, obviously the developers know if they have DLC planned at all and if they do, what it's gonna be about at this point, would feel weird for the third one to be all about symbiotes again so if he is in that, I'd guess it'll be sidequest town for him. Obviously Norman mentions the G-serum but it would seem repetitive for him to inject Harry with another thing in the hopes of curing him only for it to turn him into the villain so maybe it won't work and he'll inject himself in a rage to try and get revenge or something. The threat of the Green Goblin is usually that he knows who Peter is and can threaten his loved ones but the way they've set it up, Miles has way more of a supporting cast at this point, aside from MJ, Pete has basically nobody. I've seen some people speculating the Octavius thing is a hint they'll do a take on the Superior Spider-Man storyline. Really hope not cause well, that'd feel even more of a retread. I'd be down for a good old fashioned villain team up where they're both aiming to gently caress over the other at every opportunity though, that could be fun. I haven't read many modern comics so don't really know anything about Silk, just her name is Cindy so I clocked that in the other post credits scene, guessing it's either a cute reference or they're planning on having her be in some dlc or something? thebardyspoon fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Nov 14, 2023 |

Yeah that's a good point about how Kraven ends up. He's obviously a troublemaker so it's good that he gets put down, in the general villain sense, but how exactly are they prompting the player to feel when he's so happy to meet his end against the ideal foe? We don't really get to sympathize with him ever, so there's no bittersweet respect for a foe falling in combat, and the fight with venom is impersonal and just about anger and violence, and he sets off most of the calamities that happen during the story but it's nowhere near "doc Ock is holding the serum that will cure aunt may and the city and you have to stop him asap". Kraven kind of didn't work in this, as cool as the search for him was.

Kraven's story in that sense is true to the Kraven's Last Hunt story because he wins against Spider-Man and then goes out on his own terms.
