stepee Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I went with the regular version because I really did not like any of the bonus costumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I finally finished the Gold for beating 20 enemies under 1 minute! It was the only challenge I didn't get gold on previously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I'm really loving this one so far. The action is awesome and the storytelling continues to be top notch. I really enjoy the combat and how everything is additive. I'm never sacrificing one ability to have another, it's always just adding more and more to my arsenal. If anythings, there are almost too many things, and I can sometimes get a bit lost in everything I have access to. The pacing of the game is really a tier above every other open world title and it's because of how well every aspect of the game gells together. There are main story missions with small story moments or enormous set pieces. There's a huge variety of side quests around the city that feel much more organic than in most open worlds, largely only popping up after you've gotten to a certain point and have explored the right part of the city. The variety there really is key, with some being very low stakes mini-games and others involving significant combat encounters. It's great that if you encounter a mission or side quest that requires a specific spider-man that you don't need to manually switch, just start the thing and the switch happens instantly. Then there's the traversal, which itself is effectively a mini-game to enjoy between everything else. I'd recommend turning the swing assist way down in the settings (I have it on 0). It doesn't make swinging much more difficult, but it does make it more rewarding. It's much easier to end up in the side of a building or just without enough height, and it makes those perfect combos of swings and glides feel better when properly executed. The wings are a lot of fun and really round out the experience of traveling around the city. I kind of wish the wind tunnels were a bit less obvious and maybe something discovered instead of being giant targets in the hud, but the actual experience of flying around the city is great. I'm constantly switching between flight and swinging and I'm having a great time. Even the fast travel really sells the whole pace of the game. It's so fast and fluid and you can select anywhere in a district you've unlocked, so if you do want to finish a story section right away and don't want to swing across the city, it's a great option to have. I've only used it a couple times, but man is it slick. The graphics are some of the best on the system, but there are occasional moments where things look very unimpressive. There have been a few times when things have been isolated and there just isn't much going on and it highlights some lower quality assets. Most of the time, there is so much happening that it's hard to appreciate exactly how good everything does look. I've also had a couple crashes, which is unusual for Insomniac, but thankfully none of them have set me back more than a minute or two. The Spider-man games have already been some of my favorite open worlds, and this third installment raises the bar in every way. Nearly every interaction has something extra to it that feels unnecessary, but still ads to the whole experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Had my first crash during a street battle, and the screen had a lot going on with turrets firing and people attacking. Still enjoying the hell out of the game, and just completed the Flint side mission. Just started the Coney Island part of the story before leaving for the dogs.

I really hope the 3rd game has Green Goblin. It seems to be going that way, with the focus on “cures” for Harry. I wonder if they’ll do Norman or Harry as Green Goblin?

It would make some of it more meaningful I think especially with certain plot points. You could probably beat it in like 8 hours if you just rush the story.

stepee Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I’ve had a couple crashes as well but it’s so quick to get back in and they are so infrequent that it’s more of a “that’s odd” than anything really diminishing. And other than that this is such a damn successful sequel. This makes me feel how I wish GOWR did. It feels so much more fresh than that game even though this is the one that reuses the most playable area. I think it’s safe to say that Insomniac is now Sony’s top studio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Also In REALLY glad I didn’t spoil myself pre-release - lots of cool stuff with how the story plays out that I didn’t know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 See, this is one of a number of reasons this game is blowing my mind. I do a simple mission involving rescuing firefighters with "Where Have You Been?" only to Spoiler see this has a plot twist with Yuri. First you rescue the guys, then you find out about somebody else, then the cultists, and now this opens up more side missions for a custom suit? Sweet! The quest itself had a cool build, and I had no idea that this type of mission was actually going to be memorable in that way. Also, this was another mission that seemed to work off of stuff they learned in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I felt using the spider-bot felt a lot like using the virus bot in Rift.

I try to watch as little as possible for games coming out these days beyond the very basics and getting a feel for how development is going. I feel like so much gets spoiled on pre release media these days and I still like to be surprised by content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it makes more sense when you realize how EASY doing a science in this world is. You don’t need to know a lot, you just need to be able to solve basic logic problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 One nitpick I have is that I don't like how dialogue is interrupted and sometimes lost if something happens, like arriving at fights, for example. Especially since you miss those if you don't get to it fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
