Spiderman 2

[DAPUNISHER]

This is one of the best looking games I've played with RT. Plenty of combos to unlock and whup *** with. Story is a little meh, and they just refuse to make MJ smoking hawt be it movies or games. What's up with that?

Anyways, lots of fun so far. Not going to post any spoilers. This is my first playthrough and I knew nothing about it, so I will extend the same courtesy. If you have a high end system this is a good one for stressing it and great visuals on PC.

Another comment (on PS5 version)

I finally finished Spiderman 2, could have done without the MJ stealth levels, but all in all enjoyable enough.

Story is as usual nothing special but good enough to keep me playing but you see the twist coming from a mile away.

Graphics are good, moving trough town is easy and fast with fast travel options if you want them, the inverted controls while in the wingsuit are a small pita and (it vould be me) the controls seem to be off at time while doing it.

Minus points also for randomly grabbing walls while going from building to building ar while 'flying" had to put the side mission chases to easy mode to get trough them because of this

Also had one gameplay session where my char's textures were corrupted to something glowy white while out of combat making the game hard to play but it fixed itself after a awhile and also fell trough the world once, was fixed by a reload and the game has received a patch since to fix some of these issues.

All in all I would give it a solid 8/10

I have been playing inverted on controllers since the OG Xbox. I was a big flight sim enthusiast in the 20th, and I guess I got used to the flight stick?

Chases are always tough in Spidey games, but if you goof off like I do, you get used to the controls so well that they are no big deal by the time you do them.

When I bought the game a couple of months ago it was crashing on every system I played it on within an hour or 2. Everything seems fixed now, and it looks fantastic with some RT on a 9070XT. Coney Island has easily been the best looking and hardest to run section so far.

Still haven't finished. Most of the side stories are unrelatable so I skip cinematics quite a bit. I keep drifting off to other games. It looks amazing I'll show myself out and there are a lot of ways to combo moves, abilities, and gadgets. The story drags and I dislike some of the mission types.

Sony appears to be incredibly stingy with it's Steam sales so unfortunately it looks to be a while before I experience any of their first part titles.

On the plus side Sony's open world stuff seems a lot like Ubisoft's open world stuff in that there are the same basic things to do in each game, its really just the drip and the toolkit that change, so if I've played one I've really played them all in a way.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it? Iterating on a successful formula is not a bad thing. I always enjoy just getting in throwdowns, doing combat challenges, etc. outside of story missions in series like AC, Batman, Spidey, Dogs, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Mordor, Jedi etc. I will fire them up just to dick around for a few hours.

This latest Spidey game is easily the best looking, immersive, and most lived in. The moves list between both Spideys plus the symbiote is impressive. I could do without the Zoomer and Alpha sensibilities the story revolves around, but it's no big deal. I will simply keep skipping the cutscenes that don't interest me. For an old schooler like myself, Kraven is the coolest character in the game, he steals every scene he is in. Should have it finished by this weekend. I have unlocked enough stuff to handle every enemy without grinding it out.
