crispy4000 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 It’s impossible to be completionist today with all the open world whatnot. I just go for the objectives that feel like they’ll contribute to my enjoyment of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an oddly "retro" game in a bunch of ways. Yeah it really is. And I have no problem with that really I’m just not in a place where I wanna do all those activities and spend that much time with the game. But I did chuckle like 15 hours into the game and I’m still unlocking like brand new open world challenges haha it seemed like a parody of open world design at some point.

stepee Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I started watching the DF tech video but realized I don’t want anything spoiled, even the opening. Crazy hyped tho, looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat paradoxically, I don’t have this issue with the “big” AC / open world games anymore. There’s simply too much shit. But in a game where it’s feasible and where getting around is fun, it’s a carrot I find myself chasing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 It helps when a game lets you turn off specific map icons so they aren’t tempting you. Then you can just grab them if you see them and not worry about them if you don’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a lot of the AC / open world games, once you’ve chased one tattoo design / sea chanty / floaty collectible, you’ve chased them all. Not all the Spidey objectives are that banal; the combat stuff is much better than the combat in AC has ever been, for example. But again, swinging through smoke, snatching birds, or simply just going to a spot and picking up a goodie… there’s a lot of that. Based on the Spidey 2 reviews I’ve seen, they didn’t JUST add more stuff, there’s refinement and pivots too, which is good! In general I wish that an open world game being more “ambitious” didn’t most often mean “swollen.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Yeah, I just mean it’s easier to ignore all that shit when it’s not on your hud and map. Sometimes I see an overly crowded map full of icons and I just immediately get tired. More a recent thing for me, but it happens. weirdly enough I end up wishing open world games were more linear and just took you around the map by way of story, but didn’t need you to explore every nook and cranny to 100% the game.

stepee Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 It’s crazy that Insomniac started this gen with Miles, a cross gen game that still looks better on ps5 than most releases this gen and remastered the first Spiderman, and then released two made for current gen games that both push console tech boundaries while most devs are still working on their first current gen game. They are really good at developing video games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I can't afford the game this week. I'll buy it on my next pay which will allow me to really sink some more time in Starfield. I'm really looking forward to this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are really good at developing video games. Yup, they have multiple teams working efficiently. It's cool to see their release schedule the past decade: 2013: Fuse, Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus 2014: Sunset Overdrive 2016: Edge of Nowhere, Ratchet & Clank Remake, Song of the Deep 2018: Marvel's Spider-Man 2019: Stormlands 2020: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered 2021: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart 2023: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Even stuff like Miles Morales, though a different kind of sequel/spin-off, is a fully featured game; it's just not as long as 2018 Spidey. I hope they have another Ratchet or two this gen, though. Rift Apart reminded me that the series is the ultimate comfort food and, incidentally, really fucking good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’d love Rachet to get a trilogy this gen, I don’t want to go longer than 3 years between entries. I bet we get an announcement of a new one next year.

stepee Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 DF said 40hz fidelity is the way to go and that’s probably what I will use. I’m going to try the unlocked vrr fidelity first though to see if that isn’t too jarring because I do like extra frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 It reads that it only takes 17 hours to beat this ALONG with side quests? That is extremely disappointing. I looked it up at howlongtobeat.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded to me like performance mode is toned down in other areas but that 40hz and unlocked fidelity are still the same as the 30fps one with the exception that the lower range of the dynamic res is a little lower in unlocked.

stepee Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 It sounds like it’ll be about the same as the first game as far as length, which is good. You can’t really use “how long to beat this” yet as that’s pulled from user data so right now you are looking at what just three anonymous people who may or may not actually have the game, or understand what +extras means, are saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
