Alright, so the first thing I do is finish off the last of the random optional missions Luke Cage gave me. Save x number of citizens, blow up x number of cars, etc. Saving citizens is obnoxious because you have to drop whatever you're doing in order to save them, because they have a bar that lowers when they need rescued, and you need to take the ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE HOSPITAL. Every time. So if something blows up near them, they need help. It's annoying. Now, you could say I could just let them go, but I can't. I lose Red Spider-Man points and give me Black Spider-Man points instead. I need to keep up my red ones for the good ending.
Cars are annoying for the same reason I mentioned before. Eventually, I do finish and I talk to Luke Cage who will let me go to Park Avenue Neighborhood! Which means we basically have one final mission before I can leave this area. Luke Cage wants to set up a meeting with both gang leaders. He says Spidey should tell the other leader to meet them in the main courtyard at sundown. So naturally Spider-Man has to say in a stupidly bad southern accent: "Sundown, eh? Well, you got it sheriff Luke! Deputy Spider-Man will get that rascally varmint!" I don't even get a response from Luke Cage for that. I assume he just pretended he didn't say that.
Oh my god, I just got the best glitch ever heading to that mission. I bang against the corner of a building while web slinging over there, and Spidey immediately recoils and starts flying to the very edge of the city. lmao My web stayed where it was, so it was a long string on my screen from there. Gotta love glitches.
Anyway, I have to beat up a bunch of random thugs to talk to the leader. I beat down a ton of them and then the leader goes "Whaddowedo to deserve thiiiiis?" Voice acting. Spidey tells him to meet up at the place and, "Be there or be square." To which the leader replies, "What? Are you from Queens or something?" Okay, that was actually a bit funny.
Okay, okay. And next what happens is that it says "Spider-Man's Hands Free Cell Phone is ringing". Spider-Man has a hands free cell phone. What the f***? Anyway, it's Mary Jane. She says that the doctors were saying Spider-Man was talking to her earlier! She says she's leaving the hospital now. "What? What about your arm? Isn't it hurt?"
"Oh, you know. A few titanium pins, some medicine, and I'm good to go! The miracles of modern science." WHAT? Her arm is really hurt enough to need TITANIUM PINS? What the hell, game?
Anyway, she asks about the symbiote on Spidey. Spider-Man talks about how it might be different this time, and that he's not getting rid of it. To which Mary Jane replies, "Get rid of it, Peter! Get rid of it now and then we can talk again!" Spidey says that he needs it to fight Venom. Then Mary Jane says "Get rid of it! Then you can call me when you're yourself again." And then she hangs up. Yes, Mary Jane is an incredible b**** rather constantly. And yes, she does suck in this game. And yes, you will hear conversations like this again. Many times.
