Last time I did a topic like this was for the Zelda games almost two years ago.

Big Spider-Man fan. I didnt get a chance to play this when it came out. I consider the best superhero games to be some of the Arkham games so I will do a lot of comparison.

Hoping for a good time. I dont know much about the game so Im pretty much going in blind.

always split up main missions with sidequests and collectables.

some fool found the game boring as it turned out he tried to get all the side stuff out of the way as early as possible before advancing the main story xd

I made a topic a while back about how refreshing Peter is as a videogame protagonist.

dude's a friendly, kind, good-natured kind of person.

I know it's already been established in comics, cartoons, movies, and other SM games, but a lesser studio could have easily added some edge to make him better fit other modern game leads

Alright, just took down Kingpin.

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.

don't try to be a completionist about the side stuff as soon as you unlock a new thing, they dole out the different activities really slowly and it's easy to burn out on them

it's a good game, just goes on for too long. they could've cut like 5 hours of fluff and it would've been a better experience

Do all main missions firsts as the main missions unlock side stuff required for 100% and some of them come plenty late in the game. Then do do all the side stuff and collectibles

I enjoyed all of the side stuff other than the random crimes needed for 100%. Still havent done all of them. Also, the DLC is kinda disappointing but the main game is 10/10. Story is amazing, make sure to not get spoiled.

Alright m, thanks for the advice.

Ive been swinging around and doing random crime plus collecting backpacks. I will get back to the main story soon enough.

Not really feeling these mini games but they dont detract from the experience.

Took a break to eat dinner with family and hang out. I could probably just spend the rest of the night swinging around and doing not doing the main story. This is real fun.

The mini games are kind of hit or miss and some of them get more fun once you get better.


Thats good. I actually started to get into the circuitry mini game a little.

Yes, but the first fight I got into had me forget what button it was lol.

And while ya'll are dealing out advice, is there a way to stand on a ledge and drop down to the wall? That's the only annoying thing I've found so far. Be standing right over a backpack and can't get to it because walking off has him jump down and start swinging.

Im honestly thinking about putting the difficulty to Spectacular. I found the game to be a little difficult at first but now, Im barely getting hit.

At first, I wondered why they NYPD needed Spider-Man at all considering they can scope out drug deals going on top of a roof in the middle of the night, but then I understood when a dozen people showed up to mug one woman.

Alright, collected all the backpacks, took pictures of every landmark, activated all the surveillance towers, and did all of Fisks hideouts.

Sitting at 27% campaign progress and 24% for trophies. If Im over 75% once I beat the game, I may just go for the platinum.

I did that; every side quest/challenge for every district as it unlocked. Didn't regret it at all, and still loved the game.

Also, the Plat for this game is super easy to get, and just fun to do. Not outlandish challenges. Just normal, fun game stuff.

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.

She's like Lois Lane, in terms of attitude and personality.

Plus there is great chemistry between her and Pete.

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?

Its so weird to me that people aren't more open to different interpretations of the same characters we get time and time again.

Despite how unhappy of an ending it was, I thought it was nice in web of shadows that my Spider-Man wound up all symbiotic with black cat and kind of told Mary Jane to screw off. I chose the story beats to do so so that it made sense and I thought it was even cooler to drop off a symbiotic wolverine to combat him.

Nonetheless, Spider-Man ps4 gets to be a real tear jerker.

I like that JJJ's podcast sometimes makes a good point. Just got one about how he learned that Rhino almost escaped from his prison, but he'd been moved to a more secure cell.

"He's a seven-hundred pound maniac with an indestructible horn! If there was a more secure cell, WHY WASN'T HE IN IT?!"
