Just beat it. No spoilers, but jesus what an ending. They went all out like Rockstar on Arkham City. Absolutely phenomenal game, and amazing story. Time to go for the plat.
I started NG+ on ultimate difficulty today and it's embarrassingly easy, even without all of the upgrades. Basic combat is just as easy and not much of a challenge. Now I'll just have to wait and see how hard to damn Silver Sable checkpoints are. I remember those being a little bit of a pain in my ass.
This passed up Arkham City to become the highest grossing superhero game ever. Pretty crazy considering the fact that it's a PS4 exclusive and how short a time it's been since release.
Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Yeah, I also had mixed reactions. I didn't think it was that great. I think it got a little boost from being an PS4 exclusive.
Combat is not that fun.....most activities are copied and pasted and it's not original at all. However, did nail web slinging though...I give them credit for that
Completely agree. The game was mediocre at best. I'm not the biggest fan of the Arkham games, but Spider-Man felt like an inferior version of them. Ultimately, it failed to keep my attention and I quit after like 6 hours and I have absolutely no intention of ever picking it up again.
Don't those gimmicks look totally worth it for people that bought into the "GOTTA CATCH EM ALLLL", now that their entire misspent youth is getting kicked to the curb.

It relates perfectly. Doing samey side quests with different villains is exactly the same thing as playing different versions of Pokémon with samey gameplay and just some different Pokémon.
Pokémon you paid extra for those Pokémon, that you can no longer bring into the current generation, because Nintendo decided they hate their long term fans and don't want anyone to catch them all.

Once I figured out how to cheese the combat I didn't mind it so much. I mean, 90% of the bad guys can be beaten with triangle, then circle, then hold square and air combo them. Even brutes are a piece of piss once you get the wrecking ball ability. It's still not great, but knowing how to get around it resolves a lot of headaches. At least for me. And I do like the bullet-dodging mechanic at times.
And yeah, agreed too, side-quests are largely meh.
Spider-Man 2 or Amazing Spider-Man 2? I mean, I see the argument, but even if you want to make it, Arkham still refined and damn-near perfected the system in a way no game has really matched since. Combat flows far more smoothly in Arkham, which it really shouldn't given how Spider-Man fights when compared to Batman.
And sure, you can say they've had three games to do it, but even in Asylum it was as smooth as anything.

I do feel like in a lot of ways, the game has good things going for it. It scratches that "be Spidey" itch to a fair extent. I particularly like the stealth "predator" sections. The web-swinging is great. The graphics and sound are pretty solid. Even the framerates are all right.
The combat though... Yeah. And the characters are butt-ugly in certain instances too, but that's more a personal aesthetic thing.
