Is this a serious post? The transition is so quick at this point it doesn't even matter.
Feel free to correct me if wrong, but this is the first time a big AAA superhero game has cracked 90 on metacritic since the PS3 days with Arkham City. And since then we have had a significant rise in the amount of those games releasing but this is the highest rated superhero game since then. Just shows how impressive the reviews are!
I still need to finish the Miles game before I start this one, but I'm excited that it turned out as well as expected.
Having never seen the original, it's clear what subject matter of this parody is about.
Starfield is the most boring game I played this year but bless it for giving us this thread, I'm forever grateful.
Yes, but like many critics, thought there was a lot of fluff.
People usually point to the reason being that no one wants to play as MJ and that you buy a Spider-Man game to play as nothing but Spidey, which I get but don't totally agree with. His supporting cast is every bit as important. One element sucking doesn't make the entire segment not worth it IMO.
I actually wish there was more of this with just Peter and Milles out of suit though but that's just me. Some of my favorite parts of SM1 and MM were walking parts with stories being told during them. But let me not get my hashtag gaming cred revoked because I am saying good things about walking sections.
;)
Too much ERA GAMER brain rot too remember all.
Redfall feels like years ago.
jstevenson is it possible to have a loading screen with useful tips patched in for those of us who wants options ?
Sounds good! The story seems to be what really pushes this game to the next level, also sounds like side stories are really well done. But I'm bummed that it seems to be mostly the same gameplay with some tweaks. Spider-Man had a lot to go to reach the gameplay heights of the Arkham games.
Now we're cooking. Have a minigame during the loading screens as well.
Ooo I want a minigame in my loading screen where I can twirl the analog stick to make Spider-Man twerk
I don't really follow these games at all and am not into open-world titles, but is upper Manhattan actually represented? Washington Heights, Inwood, etc.?
Absolutely wild that people are trying to downplay it like this.
If they ask Bandai very politely, we can start cooking
SF6 should make it but it'll get snubbed.My GotY predictions are looking real nice right now...
Folks will take Alan Wake 2 over RE4 as the horror game cuz it'll be brand new.
Everything else is probably locked.
Dat 91. It looks like an all round improvement. The things that stick out to me the most is the traversal improvements and side content.
Some googling tells me this game also stops at around the GWB like the first game. And that game does squash some stuff down.
I'd be shocked if Capcom walks away with nothing, they've been killing it this year.
Darn. Oh well, thanks for the reply! I wonder if it includes little boutique neighborhoods like Hudson Heights; it's right before the GWB.
I want to see more segments like the one in the DLC where Peter tails some maggia guys on foot and then slips into an alley so he won't be seen climbing and zipping around. Then he gets the evidence he needs and changes into his suit for a combat segment.
I hope we get a patch for fast travel & have to wait 13+ minutes to install while hearing this banger song.

But they are. A good deal of people are implying the loading is actually done during those 3-5 seconds: "smart way to hide the 4sec loadings" and such.
I just don't get it. If I wanted to cross a river, I'd find a bridge and swing under it. Being able to clear most of the city by gliding through rings and catching updrafts just isn't part of the Spider-Man fantasy for me.
I know, "You control the buttons you press" and whatever, but making web-slinging a subpar traversal option in a Spider-Man game just seems weird to me.
My opinion could change once I actually get my hands on it, who knows.
Why would you want to have a single choke point every time you wanted to cross.
this dude doing a victory lap before the game even comes out lmao. legendary poster innit
And here is yet another GOTY contender!
Not that I doubted it would be good, but I didn't expect it to finally break the 90 barrier. Now we are just missing Mario Wonder and Alan Wake 2 reviews. Will any of them be able to break the 90 barrier too?
On a side note, I wish they would make a Gwen game next...

That's fair. Maybe a fun compromise would have been giving you an option to glide through the water with your boots. Except they did that too
Might as well ask for a one minute loading time option and call it Classic Mode.

What? Part 1 has great reviews. The Part 1 port had some issues which lead reviewers on PC to rightly call them out, but that doesn't mean the game was critically panned overall.
Given that Spiderman 2 is not releasing on PC anytime soon I don't see how any of this bears much relevance on the reception of Spiderman 2. But if it were relevant, we'd be looking at the Spiderman 1 port, which was very well received on PC.
I for one would like a new costume patched in based on the subway fast travel screens from the original. Give Peter and Miles a full subway car surrounding them at all times so those of us who miss the fast travel loading screen can enjoy it for the entire duration of the game.
damn, I set myself up for this. Told myself I wouldn't buy this game day 1 unless it had a 90+ aggregate, fully thinking it would peak at 88/89. Well, it's fine, I'll just juggle this with Mario Wonder.
