So now we learn to Chain Web Kick! Basically, you can zip and then kick off an enemy, then continue doing that to infinite. So Luke Cage has us do it to a bunch of thugs who are just standing there. After I finish that, I can do a lot more leveling up! Yay!
Now, here comes the fun stuff. The thing about the Web Kicks are that it's the easiest way to fight by far. So I spam the hell out of them and anything else I can grab. This include the move I'm grabbing immediately: The Web-Strike Crush. This moves makes Spidey ride the enemy like a skateboard and bounce them off the ground and damage anyone nearby. It's so cool. Then I grab the Web-Strike Throw which, as you might imagine, throws the enemies when you go to web strike them. It's a nice combo addition as well. Then I pick up the Uppercut Launch, which allows enemies to get air combo'd. This is very valuable. Then I got TORNADO, which makes Spidey spin around and attack anyone nearby. So now I have a pretty nice array of moves that I can use effectively.
But now Luke Cage wants us to save a gang member so the gangs will quit fighting like a bunch of jackholes. And now comes the most annoying mission so far. You need to stop the gang from blowing up the gas station (I don't know), and the thugs are just driving around the block in their low riders, so you do the heroic thing and blow them all up. Seriously. Except you can't do much about it and it takes forever to blow them up. Eventually, I figure out that hitting it from the side does the job the best and I take it down relatively easy and blow up all of those vehicles.
Like a hero.
Then I buy my Web-Flurry, which allows me to spam the hell out of my web shoot attack for a more powerful one.
Then I talk to Luke Cage again. They gab about origins. Spider-Man goes "I was bitten by a spider!" Hilarious. Cage ends up talking trash on Spidey's outfit, and he says "Hey, it's a classic! It's iconic!" And then Cage says "I was unaware that one of iconic's definitions was 'ugly as hell.'" To which Spidey replies, "This comic from the man that used to run around in a yellow puffy shirt, with a little silver tiara in his afro?" There you go. One of the very few good jokes in this game. Cherish it.
Cage: You've become a heavy hitter here.
Spidey: By heavy do you mean "serious", like in, "Oh that's heavy, bro" or "heavy" as in, possessing a large mass. Like a fat guy.
They follow that joke up with this one, just fyi.
Anyway, Luke Cage tells me to take out a large group of enemies with the web swing attack. It's a fun attack too. Mostly because you swing and plow them all over with a kick and they go flying.
So then I have to do a bunch of random missions using the technique I just learned (this gets tired) and I just rack up the experience, honestly. Not much else to do but that.
Eventually, I get bored. I decide I'm done with this game for a while. I do buy the Aerial Web Bounce where you can grab a guy in mid air and tug them back with your webs, then smash them again. I think I'm almost done with this area of New York though. Luke Cage should send me on the way to another Marvel character who is pretty awesome, in my opinion, and gets even less mainstream attention.
WHO WILL IT BE?
