As a guy who absolutely loves Spider-Man

No, not at all. It's the first PS4 game I've platinumed and I did it in a weekend.

You should get God of War as well if you're going to get a PS4.

And probably just get a PS4 Slim, or OG used if you can find it cheap enough. The guy who mentioned the PS4 pro being a waste earlier is right, don't believe fanboys I really wish I would have just gotten a regular PS4 Slim instead of a Pro.

I think the funniest statement about this I saw was when someone complained that Spider-Man quipped about the thugs getting real jobs so they wouldn't have to work so hard being criminals.

They were upset because "sometimes being a criminal is all you have" or something, I can't remember the exact wording.

Like, way to take a video game about super heroes so damn seriously.

Yeah, Hila was there I'm pretty sure.

The video I saw pointed out that when he does this stuff she looks really uncomfortable and tries to either get him to dial it back or something and he just ignores her now.

Like during the "All Catholics are Pedophiles" debacle, he was like "everyone in the Catholic Church is a pedophile."

and she looks all confused and says "no, but who?"

and he's like "everyone."

and then she looks at him really hard and is like "no, really, who exactly?"

and he gets this super serious face and he is like "EVERYONE"

and then she just kind of makes that face at him and backs off.

Research you get by doing puzzles in the lab and collecting pigeons in a side quest.

Base tokens by beating bases as they unlock.

Oh yeah, I'm talking mostly gameplay here. The actual story I thought MJ was rather annoying, and the idea of Venom being Harry just makes me facepalm. If Venom is created in an attempt to cure Harry, fine. I get it, they like their Ultimate origin for whatever fucking reason, but don't make him actually be Venom when he has shown absolutely no reason to be him.

That Screwball mission was amazing.


Yeah, I actually liked that you had to align the QR codes on the buildings. That was a solid mission, I didn't mean to imply that it was bad I was just surprised they would include her. In fact I wish more missions were like that, it reminded me of how Arkham City was with how the side stuff involved Batmans other villains and usually had a puzzle element or something that was really tailored to their style.

It's also my first Platinum...I think.

Anyways, it's a fun game. Probably the best Spider-Man game since Spider-Man 2. I don't remember any of the other open world Spider-Man games doing the linear stages this well. (A highlight to me would be the Halloween party stage, especially the part where you have to follow the dudes outside the building, crawling around the decorations)

The web swinging is serviceable. I still feel like I had more fun and could do more stuff in Spider-Man 2, but I've come to accept that Spider-Man 2 was a fluke and we're never getting that again so as long as I don't get stalled while web swinging I'm pretty happy.

I thought the combat was fine, but I feel like a lot of people are going to harp on it for not "being deep enough" or it revolving around getting people in the air, but I feel like that's been the style of combat in Spider-Man games for a while now so it felt right to me. The inclusion of the gadgets more than made up for the actual attacking feeling like your standard Spider-Man game.

Multiple suits is always nice, especially since this isn't usually a thing in the open world games due to being movie licenses most of the time. I kind of wish they would have had a few more iconic suits (The exclusion of Ben Reily and Symbiote is really really weird, along with Superior) but people are holding out hope for DLC. I'm not, but hey, maybe we'll get them.

But yeah, it's pretty good. My only real complaints are that I don't like how after you finish all the crimes that all you get are random thug crimes (or at least it seems that way). I really liked those prisoners who had the whiplash whips. It reminded me of Spider-Man 2 where in the end game, you'd have people with Shocker gauntlets and Mech suits in random encounters. I always liked that about SM2/USM where you kind of had some semi-super powered foes to fight randomly. (USM flat out had Shocker and Boomerang appear in random crimes I think)

I also feel that the side missions are pretty weak. Other than Tombstone and Screwball of all people showing up in two of them, the rest don't feature any villains and are just your basic "go here, beat up thugs, protect person helping you." type of missions. And there aren't even that many of them at that, I think maybe like...10? I was kind of hoping this part of Arkham they would copy and you'd be dealing with more of Spider-Mans rogues in the side missions.

Oh, yeah, the stealth missions featuring ----------------Miles and MJ--------------------- I could take or leave. I didn't hate them, but I didn't really enjoy them either outside of one that featured a boss character.

I'd probably rate it 9/10, but I'm bias towards Spider-Man games so I'd see other people giving it closer to an 8 or an 8.5. I feel that a lot of people are going to let the fact that it's an exclusive skew how they rate it as well, but overall I had a lot of fun with it.

Depends. When me and my ex broke up, her cousin tried to get with me immediately but I shot her down.

Apparently her cousin ended up getting with her ex husband last year and brought him to a family party without telling anyone they were dating and my ex was so fucking pissed she called me up and begged me to come over to try to one up her.

I told her to fuck off and reminded her that she didn't believe me when I told her her cousin was trying to get with me and that she's probably done this with all her ex boyfriends.

The problem is that security companines ended up being responsible for ending (or curtailing?) the Somali Pirate problem, so now it somehow looks like a viable option.

But like, I think the Somali Pirates situation different because they were motivated by lack of work. Once it became too dangerous to operate they simply stopped, I don't think that's going to happen with religious radicals.
