Finished the main campaign on Monday and just nibbling away at what's left of the side stuff (91% done). I really liked the story. I couldn't count how many different takes on this character I've seen over the decades but I think this team has an incredible handle on merging them into a modern story. Sony ought to let them handle their movies. I'm looking forward to playing the 3-part DLC story next.
p.s. I'm not going to post a story on it but someone is saying that Sony is planning on showing something from the next game soon.
I know I said I wasn't gonna get around to this game for a good long time, but I guess I lied. I finished the main game and the DLC a couple weeks back or so. Took me about 28 hours to get through the main game, and about another 16 hours to do the DLCs. F*cking fantastic game. Held my attention throughout. The game just
felt really good to play. I enjoyed most aspects of the game, even the side sh1t. Good combat, traversal, movement, controls, and environment. NYC worked well as a gameplay space for this game. I think NYC is an ugly-@ss city, but you wouldn't know it playing this game, it looked awesome here. The game was challenging but not impossible, they had the difficulty balance down pretty good (they upped the difficulty for the DLC but it was fine there too, for the most part). Characters were pretty well done, and I liked the story. Good audio and visual design. Graphics are nothing special but very well done. Audio got the job done, it was serviceable. Load times are ridiculously fast. Performance was top-notch. At 1440p with a 1080 Ti I maxed out the graphics (obviously couldn't use the ray-tracing stuff) and it was almost always well above 60fps (rare drops below, no big deal), sometimes close to 100fps. The game was really using the f*ck outta my poor old Haswell-E CPU. I didn't have an issue with the menu and HUD design. Honestly I didn't have much to complain about with the game at all, aside from that b1tch ScrewBall and her f*cking challenges (mainly the gadget ones). Insomniac busted out another great f*cking game. Just an incredibly fun experience.
I'm definitely on board to play both the
Miles Morales spin-off and the actual sequel now. Honestly I had no idea the game was
this good. I really was not expecting it to be so dang enjoyable. I thought it would just be aiight. Now it's another one of my top 8th-gen games, and yet another example of how Sony really killed it with the exclusives last gen. This is the kind of quality experience I expect from Insomniac. I'm sooooo d4mn happy I got to play it on PC. Those nearly 30 hours for the main game felt like maybe 10-15 hours. I still wanted more, and the DLC provided (though I found them to be buggier, less polished, and not have quite as good of a flow to them. Good thing they are included). I was very satisfied with the game. It was hard to put down. I definitely like it more than other Sony exclusives like
HZD. I don't really give a sh1t about Spider-Man on the whole (and I'm not a comic guy), but this game is undoubtedly the best
Spider-Man anything out of all
Spider-Man media, and just plain and simple a good-@ss video game, Spider-Man or not. The PC port was pretty well done too. Maaaaad props to the friend who hooked me up with this game for my berfday.
Miles Morales is basically standalone DLC but they want $50 for it. Gonna have to grab that one on a deep sale. The 2nd game looks like it's gonna be Peter and Miles against Venom, or some sh1t. Wonder when that one is coming out.
Oh yeah, here are my completion percentages when I finished the last DLC:
