Yeahhhh this game definitely gets real dark. Two specific parts I can think of. Do not drop it over 'rainbows'.
I don't think you even finished Act 1.
Also, this is a Spider-Man story, they're hardly dark, if anything they're very emotional.
As others have said, web them up and then thrown them. Alternatively, if you don't have Wrecking Ball yet, you can web them, hit them until you knock them over then web them when they're on the ground. Both effectively do the same thing. Also, you can burn two focus meters to do a takedown on them immediately.
The game lets you platinum it without getting all the gear and gold. \
Combat challenges, use web blossom and spider-bro and make sure you are level 50
Drone challenges, skip the orbs if you miss them
Stealth, remember that webmines are insta kill and the game is extremely generous with stealth
I think the combat ones i'll be able to get silver one at least, everything else though I'm barely scraping bronze ha.
Ah well, guess it'll sit at 90% completion or whatever.
Do them post-campaign after you have all skills unlocked. Makes it much easier. I was struggling with them at first too.
Thanks! Seems like I'm going to watch Homecoming very soon :)
You're seriously supposed to just impact web the fat guys?
In that case I retract my earlier statement.
I do know what I'm supposed to do against fat guys. I just don't like it. I impact web a fat guy and then punch him once, which is about as many times as I can manage while all these are other clowns are attacking me, and then he breaks free, and I now have less impact web than when I started. Even if I could get more hits in, it takes at least three full combos to down a fat guy. There's not enough impact web in all the world for this nonsense.
Also, sometimes there are two fat guys. What exactly am I supposed to do about that? Why am I being attacked by fat guys right from the start of the game when apparently most of the stuff that's helpful against fat guys is only available later? Why is it that Spider-Man is easily defeated by type 2 diabetes? What is this? I realize that sometimes a superhero story can explore a very different interpretation of the same superhero, but in this very same game you catch cars flying at you with your bare hands, and can divebomb the pavement from the roof of a skyscraper without sustaining even the smallest of injuries. Is this some kind of elaborate practical joke?
I'm starting to think Marvel's® Spider-Man™ might not be an entirely well designed video game.

Completed it last Sunday and have been pottering around with it for the last week. I'm going to put it down now having got to 90% completion and with Torna coming out tomorrow.
It's a great game. The characters, story, main missions and traversal are excellent. But once you've powered through the campaign, the side stuff is just naff.
It's cookie-cutter, by-the-books nonsense. Side missions are too short, lack any complexity and offer little except yet more fights with the same old goons.
The side mission set in motion during the main campaign gave me hope - not that it was particularly inspired but at least it featured a real villain, but the rest are busy work.
Catching pigeons? Tailing bag guys? It's just not fun.
I'm sounding super negative, but I have loved my time with it. Spider-Man is my favourite superhero and he's finally got a great game to call his own.
I just hope Insomniac get a bit more creative with the side content next time.

You don't have to actually craft the suits to get that trophy?
I don't think i'll be able to plat it anyway because i can't get over bronze on the drone challenges.
The pigeon stuff is really frustrating too haha, such a poor spider-man when he says "how can i fail at catching pigeons?!"
Like I said you can web them and throw them with a skill you can get early on to instant KO them.
I mean, it's not well designed because you can't deal with the enemies? Many people here have platinumed it without too much trouble, maybe you're just approaching it from the wrong angle.
You don't need to use Impact Webs, but they're pretty quick to use (and you have them from the start). You can web them with your regular webs, or use other gadgets to "block" them so that you can attack them freely.
You need the suits, not the mods or gadgets. So save your tokens. Also there is a suit mod that allow you to get hit and save your combo despite getting hit
You can use any webbing (even the normal one) and later you unlock other gadgets and skills that also fuck them up. Just dodge their attacks and web them up. They're not too tough.
Web the fat guys in any way you can whether it's by hitting them repeatedly with regular webshooters, hit them with an impact web, use a web bomb on them, or unlock the perfect dodge ability which webs up enemies momentarily after you dodge one of their attacks with the right timing. Basically, web them by any means possible. Alternatively you can throw objects at them.
You're not suppose to impact web them. You wont have enough to spam those. You can use your regular web shooters and stop them also remember that you can web enemies to the ground including fat guys to stop them from getting back up if your hits arent string enough. Also throwables get enemies away from you.
Also what's with the mentality because your not good at something it's poorly designed lol.
Kingpin is basically a tutorial on taking on brutes (fat guys). Just web them up by spamming web shooters on them then attacking.
Do attack+dodge to slip behind them then follow up, as back attacks do more damage. Dodge and jump into the area if you need to make room. You can also web them up/shoot web shooters in mid air.
then again we need to remember that the target audience aren't just players who've been playing games for 25 years like we do. there totally are kids and early teens playing this game and enjoying those kinds of stuff.
For the stealth challenges, it's all about speed. Play them a couple of times to memorise the enemy layout and then try and do them as quickly as possible. Don't bother with distracting enemies as that wastes time. If you see two enemies together, use trip mines.
For the drone challenges, focus on flying through the blue circles rather than trying to keep up with the drone. You should get a silver if you fly through them all, even if you catch the drone with only a second to spare. Don't go back if you miss one, though.
The bomb challenges are a bit trickier, especially as it's easy to swing into a building and get stuck on it for a few seconds. It took me a few tries to get more than a bronze on some of those. Remember to dive or use the ground strike when you are over the bombs, so you don't accidentally swing past then.
You right, more keep popping in my head lol. Initially I was thinking *heavy spoilers, DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU'VE BEATEN GAME*
The bombing and the disease spreading. But then you've got Aunt May, Li experiment.... yeah this game gets real dark lol
I thought i was reaching the end of the game but nope, shit got crazy and just carried on
The Fisk fight is supposed to be a tutorial on how to deal with the big guys when stealth isn't an option. You have 4 options available from very early on
1) Web Shooters + punch combo: Time consuming but it does get the job done
2) Impact Webbing: instantly ties up the guy allowing you to focus on other threats, or just beat on him until he breaks free
3) Environmental damage: Throw something at them
4) Suit powers: Web Blossom works a treat at reducing the number of baddies you need to deal with and will tie up the big guys too. With 2 focus bars you can use the Focus Boost suit power to do an instant takedown too.
Later on you get additional gadgets and abilities that will trivialize the encounters like the oft mentioned wrecking ball upgrade.
If you're still having trouble try thinning numbers via aerial combat so you only have to deal with the big guys. They're supposed to be a real threat but all their attacks are heavily telegraphed and the Spidey Sense should tell you when to get out of Dodge.
Though be careful on that if you want to unlock all costumes and don't want to get gold or silver on all the challenges.
The suits probably, not all the upgrades. But it depends how many you have already used
You dont need all the upgrades/mods though
No, you need to gold everything to get enough tokens for all suits AND all upgrades. If you're only interested in the trophy you'll need to save scum if you want to get the platinum with only silvers in the challenges
Method: save challenge tokens until all costumes are available for purchase (must beat the game iirc), make a manual save, buy all costumes, trophy pops, reload manual save, use tokenn to buy whatever. There's only a trophy for all costumes not all gadgets and upgrades there.
I actually don´t care about gadgets and upgrades that much, so good to know.
Finished the game yesterday now doing clean up for the platinium
You'll be fine, just don't upgrade gadgets with challenge tokens, only craft the gadget and move on, you won't need more than that.
I hate challenges every game so imagine that I did my best to get an easy way to the platinum.
You don't have to use impact webbing, I never do, normal webbing works fine if you just tap it multiple times. Also, the big guys become cake if you get distance, they are slow getting to you. Web away, turn, web them up, hit triangle to strike them, punch alot, repeat. OR you could just web them up near a wall and then punch then when you web them again they will stick to the wall.
They are a lot to handle at first, but once you get a hang of the mechanics they are teddy bears.
Wait, if I didn't immediately select "retry" on those challenges, can I not go back and retry?
I don't know what to do with my life now I've completely 100%ed the game with the Platinum.
Easily the most fun game I've ever played and probably my favourite ever. Of course it has flaws but as an overall package definitely my game of the generation so far.
If Insomniac can fix the issues this had for the sequel then they'll probably have the greatest game ever made on their hands.

You can retry as many times as you want. Just go back to the box.
Same, I´m so glad I really don´t need them for the platinium. I usually don´t even care about trophy hunt, but this game is special
You have a variety of ways to fight the brutes, actually. You just might not notice it at the start. You can use their allies against them with a web throw, attack them from behind after a slide, use gadgets to render them vulnerable, throw projectiles, web swing kick, and probably some others I'm forgetting. If you've got the Iron Spider suit (one of the pre-order early unlocks) then you can also use its Suit Power, Iron Legs, to easily damage them without doing anything else. No webs whatsoever needed, just the Iron Legs. There's also the Web Blossom from the Classic Suit, which is the first suit you can purchase after the Advanced Suit.
No, it's not too often that games require you to 100% everything for platinum. But many do require you to come very close to it at least.
It's really good and the platinum ask you to do all the cool content, not "finish the game in 4hs" bullshit, or incredibly skilled moves, just play the game.
