This is a great game. Just about every aspect hit the right beats.

The story is surprisingly well written. I cant really think of any plot holes. Well, Spider-Man should have probably been unmasked when he was taken to the hospital but whatev. The twists didnt catch me off guard personally. The game kind of hints at whats going to happen. Anyone could probably guess whats going to happen next. Still, any story that can get a positive reaction out of me is a good one.

The characters were great especially Peter. The writers got him down to a tee straight from the comics. Really hope hes not killed off for Miles in the sequels but that would be a shame. Miles was fine considering how much I dont care for him in the comics. I dont think there were any characters that were done poorly.

Gameplay was good. The swinging was fun in this game and the combat was fluid with options especially near the end of the game. With that being said, I still think the swinging could be improved slightly. I didnt have any issues until some of those Taskmaster drone challenges. Also, there needs to be more interesting side quests in the future with more villains or heroes. Daredevil, The Avengers, Doctor Strange, and a bunch of other heroes exist so use them. Have maybe a small team up with Daredevil to take down Stilt-Man. Do something. Also, get rid of the stealth sections involving MJ and Miles.

Setting was fine. Its New York. The devs cant really do much to make it interesting besides add Marvel landmarks. They should try and make other Burroughs explorable in the sequels.

Im iffy on the designs. I dont like Spiders new suit or half the suits in the game. I used Noir, Raimi, and Vintage the most. MJ was not good. In motion, her face was kind of cute but thats about it. Average body for who is considered to be beautiful. Most of the villain designs worked. Wasnt feeling Electro or Rhino that much.

I dont think the music stood out enough to be nominated for best music. It may be nostalgia talking but 90s cartoon and Raimis trilogy had better tunes for Spidey.

Im not sure how this game holds up on replay ability. After getting the platinum, I dont think Ill revisit this game anytime soon. Maybe when the sequel is about to release, Ill replay this one.

I would say this game is a very high 8/10 in my opinion. Id give it a 9 if Mysterio and The Spot were in this game tbh

Im not sure about 10 miles but I do try and run 3.5 miles every other morning outside. Its a little harder with all the cold weather now but doable. Getting into the habit of exercise in the morning is a great way to start the day off. After a few months, youll find that you have way more energy to spare.

Black manta falling along the cliff was funny.

But he literally attacked Arthur saying he had planned to meet and kill him cause he was an evil pirate.

Hi, im Evil McVillain!


Thats literally Black Mantas character from the comics. Hes evil and petty for the sake of it. No tragic backstory. Dude is just an asshole. When Aquaman died in the comics, Manta stopped being a bad guy and had a normal life. He went back to being a villain once Aquaman returned. Its honestly refreshing. Not every villain needs complex motives.


It's weird because they spend a chunk of the movie giving him a 'tragic' style backstory. We see him bonding with his father. We see the knife being passed down. We see his father dying and the guy begging for help. We see him grieving his father. We see him not caring about the money when he's hired to kill Aquaman.

He is given the plot of a tragic villain despite not even really being a major antagonist and not being a sympathetic character anyway. It's weird. He's a pretty terrible villain in every single aspect and they're gonna have a tough time salvaging that in the sequel.


Yeah, Black Manta seems to be set up as the main villain for the next film. There arent many good Aquaman villains left anyways. King Shark definitely is not main villain material as much as I like him.

They cant really downplay or not mention Mantas backstory in a sequel as it seems thats what fueling his hatred for Aquaman. Im not so sure myself.

Web blossom is useless against sable guys, so I either use spider-bro or quad damage against them.

Though I do wish equaliser lasted longer, because it's a lot of fun.


Its those laser weapons that trip me up. Getting hit by one does a surprising amount of damage.

The Sable guys are pretty tough. Not gonna lie.

Also, I like how again, the vibe of the city changes during the third act.

Im kind of half and half on the villain designs so far. Taskmaster was good. Shocker was fine. Tombstone cant really be messed up. Same goes for Kingpin. Not feeling Electro. I know people think his OG costume is silly but I like it. Vulture is fine and so is Scorpion. I think Rhino could be a little better. Mr. Negative is pretty simple to get wrong. Dr. Octopus is great but I miss his stupid haircut.

Banjo2553 posted...
Yeah, those challenges were pretty tough. Fitting name for them at least.

I still think Spider-Man 2's and Ultimate Spider-Man's challenges were harder.

Merry Christmas. IGA here.

This year is coming closer to an end...

In this update, we have a very important announcement to make. Bloodstained will no longer be supported on Mac and Linux. We have made this tough decision due to challenges of supporting middleware and online feature support and making sure we deliver on the rest of the scope for the game. We will be offering backers who planned to play the game on Mac and Linux the option to change the platform of their order. If you would like to change your platform, please send an email with your new platform request from the email address associated with your Kickstarter pledge. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and we hope for your understanding.

Development has reached its peak we are currently checking the performance of Bloodstained on each platform. Overall, we are done with enemy placement and entering the adjustment phase. But there are still many progression-blocking bugs that must be taken care of.


https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/posts/2368304

Theres more info in the link about how development is coming along.

Reminder to never back a kickstarter. Its really not worth it usually.

A little bummed there wasnt more to do with Black Cats side mission. Not sure if Ill buy the DLC. I wish the random crime mission were more varied instead beat up all these thugs or stop this car. I actually really enjoy some of the stealth segments and wish there were predator like rooms inspired off of Arkham. I had a real good time taking out thugs at the docks one by one dressed as Noir Spider-Man.

Sitting at 43% Campaign Completion and 37% Trophy Completion.

Still enjoying the game a lot. I like all the references, too. So far Ive caught several of Spideys other villains such as Mysterio, Sandman, Chameleon, and The Lizard. Saw Avengers tower, Sanctum Santorum, Rand Corporation, Josies Bar, Alias Investigations, and the Wakandan Embassy. Is Baxter Building in this game as well?

Went to see Bumblebee(it was good) and the fat fuck next to me kept belching loudly and talking with that fat thing of a woman sitting next to him. They kept talking throughout the entire movie and flashing the lights on their cell phones which was distracting. It could be a quiet time during the movie and that fat son of a bitch would start belching several times in a row obnoxiously loud.

Cant move seats because its a crowded theater. Cant go tell management because no one cares. You dont even have to pay for tickets. You can just walk in and no one will say shit to you. The only other decent theater is 20 minutes away if traffic is light.

I still think Rocksteady should handle a TMNT game. The Arkham games formula would work pretty good especially with the whole tag team mechanic going on in Arkham Knight. Plus, they would probably give it the most love and have respect for the source material.

Yeah this would be pretty epic if were given the rights to make it. They're really the only good option imo.


There was a video years ago where the director of Arkham Knight was showing an interviewer around Rocksteady Studios. At the end of the interview, the director was asked if he ever heard of TMNT. He said the idea of TMNT was interesting and maybe something worth looking into. It probably means nothing but at least Rocksteady is aware of interest in a TMNT game. Thats a start.

I almost never platinum any games. This one I did. Fun and relatively easy to get. I really don't think you can go wrong doing the side content as it's thrown at you as you progress the story.

I like the game so far. The combat will take some getting used to but I like how involved it is. It already feels like I have a good amount of combat options. Webslinging feels great.

Graphics are good. Did Insomniac get any OG voice actors like from the 90s cartoon or even the Spectacular series? Nobody sounds familiar so far. Cant help but to hear Yosuke from P4 whenever Peter talks.

Im hoping some nice surprises rogues gallery wise show up in this game.
