So I need to find that glider component, right? I get f***ing macked by a group of them while I was web slinging and guess what? I get nothing when I beat them. However, I see a group of them are attacking Moon Knight's area. He's standing there and I take care of all of them except ones. One of them was literally stuck inside of the Moon Copter. That was hilarious. I punched him to death and got the part so... score one for the home team, I guess.

I talk to Moon Knight and says he'll check it out. However, he thinks they're going to rob the Daily Bugle. He asks if Spider-Man is familiar with it. Spidey says "Uh, do you read the newspaper?" Moon Knight does not even acknowledge that. lol

I go to the Daily Bugle and it's day time again! Spidey sees police cars heading to the court house and I guess that's where the action is. Now this sucks. First, you need to beat a bunch of enemies. Easy. And then you need to avoid enemies to get the bombs on the court house and bring them to a little bomb disarming vehicle. You strap it to your back and then when you're not even close, it kind of levitates off of Spider-Man and into the vehicle. Yeah, I don't get it. But after that, you have to destroy two mechs. Which sucks because the most damaging way of hurting them is to throw cars at them. Here's some problems with this! First, you can only aim the car BEFORE you throw it. So you need to stand where you want it thrown. Second, you drop the car if you are shot at. Third, there are very few cars here. So it sucks. I get by with Spidey's special attack where he webs them up then dash strikes the enemy from all angles.

Anyway, I go back and Moon Knight is going to find more bases while Spidey goes and investigates another. Spidey rambles on, and Moon Knight pretends to be interested with one word responses. lol

Anyway, we get to the secret base to find a new villain: Vulture! Okay, so let me make note that there are only seven Spider-Man villains in this game (if you want to count Kingpin). Vulture in this game is kind of a boss. He's his elder self, but with razor sharp techno-wings. It's cool. This fight is actually pretty cool, to the game's credit. You have to basically fight Vulture in the air and keep bouncing off other enemies in order to get to him. There's also a QTE event at the end in which Spider-Man is fighting Vulture in the air. It's pretty cool. All of the failures are a variant of Spider-Man falling to the ground and flailing his arms as if there is no possible way that he could stop himself from falling to the ground as Spider-Man. After squashing Vulture into the ground, we get another good and bad choice. Spidey webs Vulture to a wall and laughs about his own bad jokes in his own Spider-Man: Web of Shadows way. Anyway, if I'm evil, I get Vulture as an ally now. I don't know why he would work for me... Doesn't really make sense. Just humiliated him.

More back and forth with Spidey and Moon Knight... and now I have to knock out some of Kingpin's staging areas. But that's all for today! PROGRESS!

I love fighting the Mechs. Doing a web swing kick or a web strike is just so satisfying, as is beating them without cars.

You can't put levels into ally! Let me discuss allies a bit.

They kind of suck a lot of the time. They fight, yeah... but they don't kill things that much faster. Plus, they drain your special a lot, which you can use for your super attack to kill things much better.

But now it's time to play more! And I'm very close to the most offensive part of this game! SO GET EXCITED!

Okay, this is where THE PLOT THICKENS!

I go to that safehouse or whatever that was discussed before. I beat up Kingpin's guys, who we finally get a hilarious close up of their armors. Let me just show this off for you.

external image

It's fanart, but it's identical to the game. How f***ing ridiculous, right? You're on a roof top when all of a sudden... some insane looking civilians start crawling up after Spider-Man and Kingpin's guys and start beating them up OH NO! They keep getting torn apart and Spider-Man must defeat them. He keeps saying "They're acting so strange!" and stuff as they disappear into a fine goo on the ground. Anyway, after beating enough, Spidey throws one of them off the ledge and a squad of police officers tell Spider-Man to stop attacking the people and stand down! Spidey runs away and says "First I'm attacked, and now I'm being shot at!? That's so not fair." F***ING HAHA SPIDER-MAN! These things are very obviously not people by how they keep disappearing into goo and walking on all fours all crazy like.

I get back to Moon Knight who is F***ING PISSED. He says "You have much to answer for." and says that he saw him throwing people off buildings. Spidey says that he had to do it, but doesn't f***ing say why. So Moon Knight tentatively believes him and says he cannot act this way again.

Spidey: Stop looking at me like that. With your... goobily eyes.
Moon Knight: You worry me Spider-Man.
Spidey: The guy who talks to moon gods is worried about me? Seriously?

Of course, we get another conversation about Spider-Man's black suit. Moon Knight tells him he should focus on getting rid of it, but Spidey says he has it under control and needs to focus on saving the city because he's the only one who gets the symbiotes. So Moon Knight just brushes it off like whatever. Btw, I found a use for my allies! Luke Cage can destroy a f***ing mech in a fast time. Totally remembering that. Anyway, I go back to beating up deranged citizens because the game can't think of anything more meaningful for me to do. Also, the deranged citizens will sometimes (often) get stuck in buildings, so you need to bait them out to fighting you, which only works sometimes. Really.

But after that, there's activity in Hell's Kitchen! Let's go there and check it out! So I get there... and Wolverine leaps at you from on a rooftop! Spider-Man sidesteps and Wolverine literally belly flops onto the pavement below. BEST WOLVERINE EVER. He says Spidey is as annoying as Spider-Man, but he smells different! OH NO! We must fight! So we have a battle... but wait, the fight stops. Wolverine asks me...........

"WHAT ARE YOUR PARENTS' NAMES!?"

...Yup, Trivia with Wolverine, folks. We need to prove we're really Spider-Man now. For extra fun, I'll include the questions here, and you guys can try to answer them!

1) What are [Spider-Man's] parents' names?
a) Richard and Mary
b) Ben and May
c) Herman and Helen
d) Shut up and fight

(Btw, he says "That's not on my online Wikipedia entry!" when he gets it right)

2) Whose killers did [Wolverine and Spider-Man] track in Berlin?
a) Ned Leeds
b) Flash Thompson
c) Harry Osborn
d) No more questions

After these first very hard questions, Wolverine says that Spider-Man brought some friends... the insane people! HOWDY DOO! However, if I kill them, I get Black points. But if I kill them, I get Red points. No, I'm seriously. This game just arbitrarily decides what points to give you when you beat up these things in this fight. And if you accidentally hit Wolverine, you lose ten points. And it is really f***ing easy to hit Wolverine. Only I get my ass kicked by Wolverine. Son of a b****. Luckily, when I lose it sends me right back to the part where the other enemies show up.

3) Where did you first wear the black suit?
a) In the shower
b) Battleworld
c) To a costume party
d) Not your business

I get this one wrong. Whoops!

4) Who declined joining the New Avengers?
a) Luke Cage
b) Captain America
c) Daredevil
d) Enough talk

I get this one wrong too. Damnit.

5) What is Critical Mass?
a) A mutant
b) A video game
c) Kingpin
d) I said fight

6) Who served us roast and pie?
a) Jean Grey
b) Aunt May
c) Tony Stark
d) Let's end this

And there you go. All questions. I did not do well. I don't know if there is a difference if you do well or don't do well. Wolverine has a tonof badass attacks though. Pretty awesome, honestly. But they decide to stop fighting so Wolverine can help Spider-Man hunt down who is infected with his nose.

We cut to later where there's a bunch of random people standing around. Wolverine leans against the wall, because he's cool you know, and he says that there's a bunch of them over there. Spidey asks "over where" and Wolverine walks up to the group and takes out his claws. The people all immediately go nuts and infected. Wolverine suggests that Spider-Man turn on his black suit and charge up his symbiote powers. I do so and they all suddenly go crazy again. We fight and Wolverine says he doesn't get how Spidey can have that alien ring worm in his body, and he says "It's not like that!" The phrase "It's not like that!" has been used at least two dozen times so far. Wolverine gets stuck running to the next spot. So how do they fix this? They have him claw the f*** out of anything in his way. He also hurts you if you're close.

Anyway, we beat all of these fights and we get Wolverine as an ally! Also, no idea why Wolverine is randomly in New York fighting these things except for "WOLVERINE IS COOL". My alignment has been royally f***ed due to this fight, btw.

And now I'm done for the day!

Guess what guys?

This is the very first rage quit of my playthrough!

After spending forty-five minutes trying to uncover the 10 hidden symbiotes I need in order to succeed this mission, I found only six.

I am being tame as I type this, but rest assured that I'm very pissed that it feels like my time has been wasted with this bulls*** glitchy game.

That's pretty much the reason for why Wolverine is on every team and at every major event in Marvel comics.

So, once I restarted I was able to find the last of the hidden symbiotes with ease. I LOVE GAME BREAKING GLITCHES.

Anyway, I report back to Wolverine now.

Wolverine: If we don't stop this, this entire city will fall into chaos.
Spidey: I'm pretty sure it's already in chaos.
Wolverine: How about a little less joking and a little more fighting!

SHOT DOWN!

...Oh my god, Wolverine. Good lord, you are the worst now.

"First off, ya smell like death. Second, you look like one of those emo kiddies they got all over the internet, jabbering on about how hard their life is when they've never known true pain."

Seriously game?

And Spidey makes it worse. "Oh my god... you have a My Face page, don't you!? Dork!"

...And Wolverine... "I do not!"

...Spidey. "Aha! You totally do!"

...Wolverine again. "Shut up, kid!"

...Spidey... again. "Will you add me as a friend? I'll poke you and you poke me back!"

...Wolverine... "I said shut up!"

And there goes my spirit. Completely crushed. Thank you.

Now I have to look for Venom. I find him, and it turns out that he's infecting people with symbiotes and making them insane.

Venom: What's the matter Spider-Man!? You don't believe in adoption! After all... you're the mommy.

I think I want to cry.

Anyway, I beat up all of those enemies and go find Venom again. Spider-Man clones with tentacles and random citizens are dancing around a giant bulbous symbiote plant (I really don't know) and Venom wants to fight us now! Yaaaay... And then I chase Venom around the city for a while, can't damage him much, and wonder if my game is glitched because this goes on FOREVER. And then finally another alley fight where I beat Venom and he just... kind of runs away. Well then.

I have to beat up three hives because this game needs to artificially add length.. and then Spidey realizes we need to go to a SHIELD Quarantine area!

And then we get there and there are infected people locked up by SHIELD! And then there's Black Widow there who looks completely ridiculous.

external image

Oh dear. She says to stay out of this and he's in trouble! But all of a sudden, an Electro appears! Oh god.

external image

HE WANTS HIS SISTER GOD DAMNIT! Yeah, I don't know. This is about as far as I got when I played the game last. Anyway, this fight is pretty lame. First you chase Electro around the city while he puts up bars of electricity and throws electric balls at you to stop you. And then he goes to the quarantine area and releases people. ...Then you go and chase him around the city again. ...And then he goes back to the quarantine area and releases people. And finally, you chase him around the city again until you get the chance to fight him for real. Then you whittle away his health very slowly. Btw, the banter is pretty lame. Spidey just keeps telling him to stop. I like the one where he said "WHY WON'T YOU LET ME STOP YOU!?"

When you beat him, he's juicing up between a bunch of electrical combines or whatever. We QTE to victory and dodge his lightning attacks. Each time you miss, you get a variation of Spidey getting fried and letting out a horrific scream. Anyway, he overloads the combines and explodes. Black Widow snipes him when he gets up, and then a punk looking girl yells about how that's her brother!!! She runs over with her symbiote coming out, and it consumes Electro. Electro revives, looking a bit darker, and then an explosion of electricity happens. Pretty sure he just nuked the entire area and killed a bunch of people since it shows a crater and a kid's bike wheel spinning. Black Widow and Spider-Man wake up next to each other and Black Widow says "You're under arrest, Spider-Man!" which makes no sense. Oh, and then we get the animation of Spider-Man leaping triumphantly on a roof and the MISSION SUCCESS dramatic hero jingle. XD City block got nuked and Spider-Man is getting arrested! ...THAT'S A SUCCESS, RIGHT!?

Maybe it is for Web of Shadows Spider-Man.

Anyway, despite Black Widow saying YOU'RE ARRESTED, we're not actually arrested and we can run around still. Mary Jane gives us another call and is much less b****y. Good for us. She says they're closing off the city now. But I've had all I can take for today, so we'll check that out next time!

Alright, so you know all of that massive damage that Electro caused that might have killed a bunch of people and made a big hole in the street?

Yeah, there's nothing there. They literally added no sort of damage to the map. Go Activision.

On my way to the next mission, I gathered over 350 tokens to get level 7. Seriously, they have this many tokens in this game. Anyway, one thing that's different now is that SHIELD troops are overrunning the city. They have tanks that drive around and fire... for no reason. Seriously, they'll fire for no reason when nothing is around. Anyway, they fight bad guys. Now, I could try to be an achievement whore here and do all of the optional missions (Save 10 civillians, defeat 150 of Kingpin's men, find and defeat 20 hidden symbiotes), but I don't think even SHINE would have the patience for that s***. I'm starting with the next mission which ends Act 2/3.

Oh my god, we actually get to hear Kingpin now, and he has the absolute worst voice acting. XD I'm showing off this video, because it is just absolutely f***ing hilarious. He wants to cross a bridge to get out of the city, but SHIELD won't let him. He asks why Richards or Stark aren't here now to save the day. So what does Spider-Man do? He decides to try calling them THROUGH THEIR BUSINESS LINES. He calls Richards first, and he can't get a hold of him because he's in space. He called the Baxter Tower, btw. Then he calls Stark Industries. Really. And he hangs up and says that if Tony Stark could make it, he would! So then he tries Hank McCoy... and nothing. He says he'll call Hank Pym, but then says "Naaaah." And so who does he call? Mary Jane Watson. He calls her to tell her that he's going to break the Tinkerer out of jail so he can make a bomb that only kills symbiotes and doesn't kill humans. Actually, let me quote the game here. "Hey MJ, I'm going to break an evil mastermind out of jail to create a bomb to kill all the symbiotes." Literally, he says this. Mary Jane doesn't say anything, and Spidey says "...I'm going to be breaking the law." To which MJ just says to do whatever he needs to.

So what happens next? Moon Knight appears and says that his cell phone isn't a secure line. And then Vulture comes out of nowhere to complain that Spider-Man didn't ask him to help. Moon Knight says he can't break anyone out of prison because it's against the law. Vulture encourages him to do it. So it's CHOICE TIME. Spider-Man says he'll be breaking into the prison regardless. So then we choose... Moon Knight or Vulture, I guess. ...Yeah, I don't know. I pick good. So... I am flown there by Moon Knight, who was completely opposed to this before, and he says "Good luck Spider-Man! The power of Khonshu is at your side!" before flying away. Now I'm on Ryker's Island.

Kingpin's Cutscene: (Starts at 0:20)

Now, let's just consider how unbelievably f***ed up this is.

1) Spider-Man doesn't get the idea to have someone concoct a way to stop the symbiotes until MOTHER F***ING KINGPIN TELLS HIM TO.
2) Spider-Man calls these super heroes through their business lines.
3) Spider-Man goes through like five of them, and doesn't even act on calling Hank Pym.
4) Spider-Man decides the ONLY way he can stop these symbiotes is by getting help from THE TINKERER of all people.
5) Spider-Man decides that The Tinkerer is the only scientist he can find in New York, even among other villains in New York that AREN'T in jail right now.
6) Spider-Man calls MJ to tell her he's going to break the law by breaking out a super villain.
7) Moon Knight is completely opposed to this, then still helps Spider-Man out despite having him at arrow-point before and wishes him good luck.

WHAT THE F*** GAME? NO SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE F***? I'm almost out of characters, but I'll still be playing.

But seriously game, WHAT THE F***?

I'm currently in Ryker's Island trying to break out Tinkerer now. I go forward and a bunch of guards come out to start shooting me. So now I need to beat the hell out of innocent guards for doing their jobs. God damnit this game. I find a switch to click on it. And this switch... OPENS UP A CELL TO UNLEASH RHINO!? WHAT THE HELL GAME!? ARE YOU SERIOUS!? WHY WOULD SPIDER-MAN DO THIS!? WHAT THE HELL!? WHY!? Even worse? UNLEASHING RHINO WAS A PART OF SPIDER-MAN'S PLAN FROM THE START! WHAT THE HELL GAME!? I have to press Y to ride Rhino, who is willingly working with me apparently, since I have the option to ride him and speed up and slow down and he doesn't give a f*** that I am doing this.

And now I try riding him and for some reason, I get knocked off of him. And then what happens? He is running into a corner for infinite. Enemies are shooting at me. Rhino is running into a corner. I can't ride him again or do anything to make him stop. Holy s***, this f***ing buggy ass game. I let myself die just so I can try again.

So now I'm trying to figure out what I need to do. Rhino just kind of beats up guys if you leave him alone. You can only mount him half the time. And you have no idea what to even do with him aside from busting down a wall. Which doesn't work until you find the right wall. Even though the wall with a door says "PRESS X to interact!" and then why you press X, it tells you "YOU MUST BE BIGGER TO INTERACT WITH THIS OBJECT". So, what? If I'm riding Rhino I'm bigger? Nope. It makes the door bust in, but I can't do anything with it. Finally, I find the right little barricade that I need to go through. This alerts more troops and shows a cutscene of a guy glitching up and trying to pull out his rifle endlessly. You know the f***ed up part about this? I didn't need Rhino to bust through there. I could've just web zipped over to that area. Oh my god, this game.

I press another switch and it opens a door, in which I could just go over it with web zipping, and it shows that these guards are all placing mines to stop me. ...Whyyyyyy...? Eventually, I figure out that you need to bring Rhino through all these areas. It doesn't tell you until later though. But the thing is that the more Rhino gets shot at, the more he throws you off. So since the enemies keep respawning and coming out and shooting at Rhino, this is extremely frustrating. And it continues to be frustrating because I can't even get Rhino active enough to destroy the enemy spawn points. Eventually, I destroy the generators I need and a path opens into the prison. I charge through with Rhino and he says he wants to escape. I get another good or bad choice... I guess. It involves pressing a button. The good decision is to tell Rhino to run back to the front area of the prison to escape. ...What? This game.

Spider-Man finds Tinkerer, who looks... very Tinkerer-like in a prison suit. Good lord, wow. When Spider-Man gets Tinkerer topside, suddenly Vulture arrives and says to give Tinkerer to him. And then Moon Knight says that Tinkerer goes with him. And then Black Widow walks up with SHIELD agents and says that Tinkerer is under SHIELD custody and that Spider-Man has committed so many felonies today. Then Kingpin walks up with his men and says that he'll take Tinkerer elsewhere.

HOLY S*** THIS GAME WHY ARE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE HERE SUDDENLY?

The end result of this clusterf*** is that SHIELD is taking Tinkerer to Stark Industries so he can work on what he needs to. Meanwhile, SHIELD is blowing up the bridges to the city to keep people from escaping with the symbiotes. A few bad jokes later, Black Widow is working with Spider-Man.

God f***ing damnit. This game. I'm going to keep playing.

So now I have Rhino as an ally. ...I guess good Spider-Man did let him escape...?

Anyway, I have to go rescue a bunch of SHIELD groups as my first mission. As a side mission, I found a civllian in trouble! I need to deliver her to one of the safety bubbles throughout the city. Oh, btw, the city is completely f***ing trashed. It's kinda cool. I take the civilian there and... my game freezes. Literally, my game freezes. Just when I save a civilian. It just froze.

F*** this f***ing game. I'm done for now.

I stopped playing a little bit past here. That Rhino prison level is so annoying, I think I spent 25 minutes just trying finish that.


The worst part about all of this is Pete is a scientist himself, you would think that he would at least take a crack at solving the problem himself.

Oh, sweet, a game I worked on.

And yeah, a lot of us were groaning at some of the dialogue while it was in development too. Particularly the Mary Jane stuff. I don't know how or when some of that dialog was written.


Hey mc. Kind of surprised you actually worked on this game.

The dialogue is sooooooo bad, and I'm glad those who worked on it agreed. I'm kind of curious what part you worked on though. I want to know if I should blame you for a part of this game that makes me angry or not.

Well, Peter did go as far to say "HE HAS TO MAKE A SYMBIOTE KILLING BOMB THAT DOESN'T KILL HUMANS!" Which... is this really the only way to stop this? I don't get it.

But yes, the Rhino prison stage is the most miserable thing. Like, it took me forever to realize I could even bust up the turret guns the soldiers can wield. It made it a little easier, but not by a lot. I just REALLY don't understand why they thought this was a good idea. Especially since it's soooo buggy and glitchy. Rhino would be at 0 Rage when I tried to jump on him, and then he was at full. And why does he have to stomp and smash me away when he gets full rage meter!? Why not just let him buck me off!? This gaaaaaaame.

Alright, so I save the five teams from the symbiotes. Spider-Man b****es when Black Widow tells him to get a symbiote sample. I guess that's icky if it's the end of the world and stuff and you've already been infected and are currently infected by a symbio- Oh f*** it. This Spider-Man is terrible and embarrassing. But now I'm escorting an APC vehicle. This is alright. I mean, nothing too special.

UNTIL I HAVE TO RESCUE THREE F***ING LOSERS ON THE ROOF AND PROTECT THE APC AT THE SAME TIME HOLY S***. They keep spawning enemies and they're always close by the time you finish off a group, so then you have to go to the next group. Holy s***. This is the worst. I go up to go get people on the roof and the APC explodes every single time. God f***ing damnit. Three times I try this.

So then I just say f*** it and go and save three civilians on the roof. And I get two of them there as the APC is getting destroyed and it's very close to death... and then it drives away. ...Uh, I just left one of the civilians on the roof to die now. And then it acts like it's a huge accomplishment. What the f***? This game.

Anyway, I do the mission to save MORE people because I guess this game really likes to try and make it long. I just web everything while people run to the APC. It's very easy. But now I need to go to Kingpin and ask him for some things so Tinkerer can make his device. "Okay, no problem! I'll just file the papers and get my name changed to the Amazing Spider-Diplomat! Off I go." SO F***ING FUNNY SPIDER-MAN HOW DO YOU STAY SO WITTY?

Anyway, I travel all the way to Fisk Tower and it has a bunch of electric generators. So Spidey needs to take out a bunch of Kingpin's men and symbiotes. And so Spider-Man takes out all of the generators and places them back in upside down (I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS IS A POSSIBLE THING). It was very confusing. But anyway, Spider-Man does all three, and the electricity dies down. And then he proceeds to go up top and talk to Kingpin. Kingpin says it's all Spider-Man's fault this happened and blah blah blah. And then he says that he will help Spider-Man if he does him a few favors... BY TURNING ON THE MOTHER F***ING GENERATORS BACK ON THIS GAME KILLS ME WITH THIS REDUNDANCY!

I do that and then we're all chilling in Fisk Tower. Well, let me tell you who is chilling there. It's Spider-Man, Kingpin, Tinkerer, Black Widow, and..... Vulture? Huh? Tinkerer wants a bunch of scientific stuff, a full pardon, and a castle with a hot servant. Oh ho ho ho this game is so funnay. Kingpin gets him to castle, servant, and science stuff. And then Black Widow gives him a full pardon. And then she b****es under her breath as she walks away. And that's about all I can take for today.

I forgot to mention that the entirety of the Fisk Tower mission(s) were entirely used with Wall Combat. And the Wall Combat is absolutely and completely terrible. The first move is a slide that makes you either miss the opponent or overshoot him, and the web attacks are pretty terrible too, so it's just very, very, very obnoxious to do these missions. And none of your attacks do a whole lot of damage on the wall, which makes it even more painful. There's no way to make this go any smoother or any more tolerable. So you just kind of have to suffer through the terrible Wall Combat.

That's why I was super miserable this time!

So now I have Rhino as an ally. ...I guess good Spider-Man did let him escape...?

Uh, I just left one of the civilians on the roof to die now. And then it acts like it's a huge accomplishment. What the f***? This game.


What a terrible good guy. Seriously, this game would make me hate Spider-man if I didn't know comic Spider-man was so much better.

So now I need to do missions for Kingpin. I talk to him and he says "You're not done out there." rofl Okay, I'm not done doing my hero job. F***ing Kingpin is telling me this. Holy crap.

So I have optional choices. My first one is to Insult Kingpin. Good idea, really. So they start off with a small conversation and Spider-Man says he can be nice if Kingpin can. Kingpin says that he does not get where he is in life being nice. So Spider-Man, completely unprovoked and having a civil conversation otherwise, says "One doesn't get where you are in life without eating a few hundred doughnuts in a week." Spider-Dick. Kingpin replies with "In the interest of personal gain, I can easily ignore your childish jokes" because, well, why shouldn't he? Spider-Man is kind of a lame ass in this game. Spidey keeps insulting Kingpin, and Kingpin just utterly destroys him.

"Quite the hero aren't you? Our city is being destroyed and you save the day by insulting me. Very nice. Even after you came to me for help."

Holy s***, is this game trying to make Spidey look like the worst? Spidey even keeps insulting him and Kingpin says "Another fat joke? How childish." God damn. Kingpin tells Spidey he's helping to become the most admired man in New York for saving the city. After the second dozen fat joke, you kind of have to think Spider-Man is really, really, really lame.

So now I'm on this rooftop fight after a lame ride on a SHIELD hovercraft. And I have to keep Kingpin's men alive and kill all the enemies. I fail the first time because I tried saving a hostage that appeared for some reason and I went too far away. The second time, I was busy killing enemies... and they die super fast because they keep getting knocked off the roof. Oh come on.

The third time, it spawns me facing the opposite direction for some reason, so I try getting back on the roof. And I get the most hilarious glitch in this game so far. Spider-Man is on the roof top, but only his lower half is sticking from out the top of the roof. So you have Spider-Man's legs just dangling in the air. I can move around still, and what's hilarious is that his legs just bob up and down as you move around. Ahahahaha. I play with this for a while since this is the only enjoyment I've gotten out of this game today, and then an enemy hits me and ruins it. I waste too much time and lose.

The fourth time, I'm doing good. But get this. There's a cutscene where Black Cat appears and just... runs off. However, while this cutscene is playing, the enemies are still being attacked. lmfao So I can't stop anyone from dying and I literally lose mid-cutscene. This game is so s***tily made!

So the next time I succeed and I have to talk to Black Cat who tells us that there are more of these things. Spider-Man is literally surprised. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN SPIDEY!? I have to beat up the new symbiote enemies now... the Electro-Symbiotes. These are obnoxious because they come in packs and shoot chain shocks at you. So often, you are left being chained into being blown back by electric shots. So that's fun.

Now, I have to take orders from Black Cat who tells us to go after the source of the electro symbiotes. Okay then. I go and find a big area in a park where there's a bunch of electrical structures powering a giant pod. I have to destroy one of those by defeating the hives around there and... to the game's credit (notice how sparingly I use this) they made a Symbiote Electro look like the baddest, most scariest f***ing thing you will ever see as he's being worshipped by the electro symbiotes. God damn, I have to give it to this game.

Now to fight him! This is annoying. Basically, you attack Electro for a while. Then Electro has a bunch of symbiotes that charge him up that are f***ing impossible to hit because you have to rely on the auto target air attacks which completely f***ing suck, and you can't use the web strikes because they break them all and shoot you back. So basically, you need to pray that the auto aerial attack hits are merciful, which they aren't. So you're attacking these enemies and you try to take them all out, but you can't. So Electro gets charged up and creates more hives you need to destroy before you can attack him again. And you repeat this process five times. Btw, Electro tells you all of this and Spider-Man whines out "You're telling me your plan!" Ugh. And he has a terrible line each time he breaks a pod. "These pods are good for nothing." What the f***?

Anyway, you beat Electro and he is screaming and trying to get the symbiote off. Spidey cheers him on and tells him he can do it! And he does. Then Electro stumbles around saying that nothing matters because his sister is dead and then he collapses. CUE EPIC FANFARE AND SPIDEY LOOKING HEROIC. I can summon Electro as my ally if I'm bad now. Not the worst boss fight, but it's just annoying parts that make it something you don't really want to do.

So Spider-Man tells Black Cat he needs to talk to Kingpin. So we're going to go talk to Black Widow since the game is making us. I get back there and she sounds so f***ing put off that Spider-Man is back. "What do you want Spider-Man?" Nobody likes this son of a b****. Not even the good guys. Now, I'd continue, but the game keeps going really slow when I try to do stuff for some reason. I'm going to go ahead and assume it'll crap out soon if I keep playing. So for now, I'm done.

Actually, let me show off my favorite Electro look, since why the hell not?

external image

Spectacular Spider-Man had an awesome Electro there. They wanted to keep the starfish motif, but they made it much better. They made it actual electricity shooting from his head, which made it seem less... like he got dressed in his closet. He's in a full suit which looks plain, but I think that's part of the charm. He's a pissed off lunatic who can't control himself and wishes he was normal. He lost his damn mind, and you can tell he's ticked off when he's got FREAKING ELECTRICITY COMING OUT OF HIS HEAD. Not only that, you can see the electricity going through him on his suit. It's cool. Plus, when he's really freaking out, the electricity on his head goes flaring everywhere.

Basically, this Electro is the coolest, and Marvel really needs to make him look similar to this in the comics. Basically, they ought to take every idea from Spectacular Spider-Man and just steal it, because it's such a f***ing awesome show and was undeservedly cancelled.

Okay, so I need to help out a bunch of aerial evacuations. What does this consist of? Killing symbiotes and letting civilians run away to the heli-carriers. Yahoo. The first one sucked because it was on the ground and they kept taking them away. Then the last two were on the roof. So that made it easier. Why, you may ask? Wouldn't you need to do stupid ass wall fighting and have a smaller area to take out enemies? Well, yeah. Unless you cheese it like I did! I decided I would web them all as they come onto the roof. So they crawl over and I spam the f*** out of my webbing to get super fast web tie downs so it makes them unable to move super fast. After that, I continued to spam the webbing, so they would be knocked back and fall off the roof and to the ground. This kept them gone for the longest time and usually they don't even try scaling the building any longer. This works very well and ensures I don't have to f*** around with this game's BS. So yeah! I manage to get everyone to safety. Spidey decides to change up his poses with an ARM CROSS POSE. I don't know why.

Now then, since we just did these aerial evacuations, what do you think we'll be doing next? WHY, MORE AERIAL EVACUATIONS OF COURSE! This f***ing game.

But now I get to follow a SHIELD heli-carrier to a SHIELD base... which is actually Moon Knight's crib. F*** YEAH MOON KNIGHT! But yeah, there are Vulture symbiotes now, so we have to deal with that. They aren't that difficult. However, when I was heading to the area, you have to be standing on a ship since if you fall off, you can't catch up no matter what. So of course, I saw enemies. The logical thing to do would be to attack them. But no, you can't. Because if you do, you'll be too far behind and fail the mission. So after my first failure, I just stood there... watching. One of them attacks me anyway, and luckily it was at the very end so I could keep up enough to not fail the mission. I defeat the enemies and now I get to talk to Moon Knight!

After destroying a bunch of Vulture hives, Black Widow is barking out orders for SHIELD to defend their main base. Her accent is really, really, really, really, REALLY f***ing annoying at this point. Anyway, I have to defend the big electric wall, which takes forever, and then I have to call in an air strike. But wait, a Berserker Symbiote appears! Probably because it ate Wolverine or something. There's a bunch of them that come at the door, and I have to defeat them all. The air strike arrives and blows the f*** out of the main area. ...Uh, success...?

I then buy the final parts of all of Red Spidey's moves! Hoorah! However, the next mission is to meet Mary Jane in Harlem. ...Oh god, can I take it? We haven't had any stupid storyline stuff happen today, so I guess I can go do it. For all of you.

But holy crap, that was so far away that I had to travel. Wow. I get there and MJ is holding a shotgun, asking how to use it to Luke Cage. Spidey calls for an evac for everyone in Harlem. He asks Luke Cage to take care of MJ, to which MJ promptly cocks her shotgun and says in a badass manner "MJ can take care of herself. I have some friends to save." F***ING I HATE MARY JANE WATSON! Now we need to find Wolverine for some reason I don't know. My next mission objective? "Go to Church." Well f*** you game. Don't push your religion on me.

We get there and Wolverine has a bunch of people in the church and says we can ring the bell to keep the symbiotes away. Spider-Man calls for an evac and we fend off the church for a while. The SHIELD heli-carrier is flying away, but the symbiotes are grabbing it! Wolverine leaps off it and tackles a bunch of them down. They all pounce on him and merge... and OH MAH GOODNESS, IT'S SYMBIOTE WOLVERINE!

For those curious how he looks:

external image

Eh, alright. But his line when he appears is "Finally, I'm the tallest guy in the bar!" ...Really? Is that really what you wanted to say, Symbiote Wolverine? He's just like Wolverine. Except bigger. Basic fight until Wolverine gets some Adamantium spikes coming out of him everywhere. ...Kay, that's different. He says "I've wanted to kill you ever since the day I've met you!" ...To be fair, can you fault him for that?

Luckily, it just adds more Health to Wolverine. But the game glitches in my favor with the air slide. Basically, sometimes when you use the air slide, you get stuck against the enemy and hit him many, many, many more times than you are intended to. So it wipes out his extra health completely. I beat him up some more and... MID BOSS QTE EVENTS YES!

Wolverine jumps on the Church and takes out the big bell. He throws it at Spider-Man. First fail is Spider-Man getting squashed in a hilarious fashion. It is pretty awesome. Spider-Man dodges it and throws the giant bell at Wolverine, who hits it back. Miss the QTE and Spider-Man gets squashed again. Ahahaha. You succeed with that one and Spider-Man kicks it back after using his webbing on the ground for leverage. Wolverine smashes it though. Oh well. Beat him down a bit more and you get a good and bad choice. I choose the good choice, which involves Spidey... watching Wolverine. Okay.

Wolverine is stabbing and ripping the symbiote out of him. Spidey asks "Doesn't that hurt?" and Wolverine says "Yeah, like hell." And then when he's done he says, "I prefer life this way. This is who I am" to which Spider-Man says "That must be nice..." "What?" "Knowing who you are..." ...WHAT!? Where did that come from!?

I go back to Harlem and Mary Jane is surprised to see Spidey. They are escorting the people of Harlem out of here and Mary Jane makes Spidey promise he won't use the dark suit! And he promises! And... that's it. Next mission is me escorting civilians. Because I had missed that part of this game oh so much. I'm done now.
