Marvel’s Spider-Man |OT| Face it, Tiger… you just hit the jackpot!
- Thread starter tgrfawcett
- Start date
Don't know if anyone is interested but thought I'd post it here in case someone wanted to grab it. Mondo has preorders up for the 2x LP of Spiderman's soundtrack. These usually sell out pretty quick so if you'd like one might be worth checking it out.

Oh man
Otto's transformation feels so sad, it's gonna hurt seeing him lose it completely :(
Also, really like how they implemented on of the minigames into the narrative.

I'm about to start this.
What difficulty y'all go with? I'm going to do Amazing but I just want more opinions on overall difficulty.

Nope, I got the preorder bonus and there are plenty of suits you have to unlock
Friendly. Just hard enough for me. It's a challenge for being easy mode. Certainly the hardest easy mode I've ever done, lol.
I agree with this fully.
I've honestly not got much bad to say about the game at all. (near the end of act 2 so far I assume)
Only thing that's annoyed me so far was trying to get Gold (which I finally got) in the first ever challenge you're given.
amazing is good. spiderman is squishy as heck, so its a decent challenge until you learn the flow. You can always change the difficulty later.
Beat the game earlier tonight , some absolutely fantastic boss fights and overall a great experience , just doing some clean up now to get the platinum I'd say this game is definite 9/10 for me just pure fun all around with the only down side being in a few side things. Can't believe people were complaining about that dlc announcement too I need it ASAP
I think I've found a mission I hate way more than any of the ones I've already conplained about. End of the "Snipe" sodequest is a pain in the ass.
How do you ensure enemies get webbed to walls?
I've only managed to do it accidentally, but one fight was in a playground and a thug (more on them in a second) somehow ended up glued to the site of the playground equipment.
From the Kingpin fight, which I maintain is a poor tutorial, I understand thug enemy strategy as:
Web Shooter Gadget (Rapid R1s) to stun them, then Triangle to close the gap, then wail on them?
If possible, hit them from outside combat mode with the Takedown.
When engaging them during combat, either thin out the plebs (especially those who are armed) first and deal with them last, or keep distance from the rest and just focus on the thug.
I'm still finding a bit of trial and error with the Perfect Dodge enabled traversal. I press Circle at the moment that white (or blue) flash happens but it doesn't register and I still get hit.
RE: the skill tree, I'm using this as a general guide:

I still haven't even properly started the game's main plot, but am actively seeking out randomised crimes to practice my combat skills.

Just finished it. Incredible, just as good as the best Batman game. The story is really good and the boss fights were spectacular.
Impressive game all around.

This had me puzzled too. I thought I'd missed a part of a cutscene or something. Felt like there was an immediate jump without any explanation / surprise from the characters. Anyone got any input on this?
Fully web them (usually takes like 3-4 web shots) then press and hold (otherwise you'll jump to them) triangle to toss them around, aim for a wall nearby and they'll be webbed
With enough upgrades you'll be able to do more fancy webbings
I meant the balance seems to be tuned so you have to get a perfect score on all the super hard challenges to unlock everything, but the pre order bonus gives you a bunch of suits that normally cost tokens so you probably can skip a few challenge gold medals and still unlock it all.
I'm at 97% now... almost done.
I played the opening "tutorial" sequence and damn, I suck. I died several times.
Too used to the simplicity of the Yakuza series right now to be in the headspace for this combat system.
Hope I get used to it.

I just finished the main story and, yeah, that was awesome. Dunno if I'm ready to call it the GOAT superhero game or anything yet, but I definitely really enjoyed it.
Funny thing though, looking back the hardest fight in the whole game for me was that fucking intro tutorial fight against Kingpin XD

My favorite thing about the combat system is the whole webbing people up mechanic , finding new ways you could web enemies to walls and the ground was so fun through out the game.
And to people struggling with the combat , get enemies in the air Spidey fights much better up there. And don't be afraid to use your base web shooters as well as your other gadgets, webbing enemies up and sticking them to walls and the ground is the fastest way to get enemies out of the fight

I don't think I got a single "ultimate" score on any of the Taskmaster challenges. Not worth the headache, my condolences.
Just finished with all the backpacks, and although the suits look cool, part of me thinks it's a bit of an overkill to have 3 MCU suits in here.
Haven't unlocked them all and most are really cool (except for one really forgettable and bland design).

I'm sick of forced stealth missions in just about every major game this gen. I'm also sick of nightmare/drug sequences. Both are stale as hell. Still enjoying the game a lot tho.
I just need to clean up all the crimes in each district to 100% them all. Beat the game, but man...swinging around pinging R3 until a crime comes up is super annoying.
Yeah, just started and I am going to have to get much more comfortable with the flow of combat.
Thanks y'all.
I dunno, maybe it's the post game that it doesn't come as much? Before post game I had no problem
Anyone have an issue of manually saving and when loading back up the game, some of your skills were gone? I only played 3 hours of the game on launch night, and just got on to play, but my webslinger skills are all gone but for one. I had Point Launch, Quick Recovery, and Charge Jump unlocked by doing benchmarks, but since I loaded the game just now, they are locked. It's strange because my benchmarks that I've done say I've completed them such as the Whiplash 3 one. My level is also 3 which I know I was higher. Tried reloading from my manual save and nothing. I only did the prologue and not the first mission afterwards so did I mess up by not going to the first mission and having the game autosave?

I'm super interested in getting this but my money's tight so I want to know if it's worth it on a non-pro PS4 atm. As someone who has been on a blackout for this what's the length like? Both main story only and side stuff? If I play like an hour a night how long will this experience last me? Any post-game content that keeps you playing after the main story is done?
Just beat Act 2. Calling it a night.
Still very much enjoying it. Have been completing all side quests and challenges, etc as I progressed through the main story. So before I continue on with Act 3 I'll do the same to the new side content that just unlocked.
Still wearing the homecoming suit. Can't get over how visually good it looks in the game.

Finished my platinum about an hour ago. I somewhat tempered my expectations pre-release and still came out a slight bit disappointed. It's a great game, and definitely the best Spider-Man game (thought maybe not my favorite-- I remember having more fun with Ultimate), but something in me is left wanting.
The story was just... fine. Predictable all the way. The ending made me cry, even though I thought it felt pretty rushed. Ancillary story stuff was great-- JJJ's radio show, fake Twitter, research labs... As for mechanics, the swinging feels really good, but something about it isn't quite perfect. Combat/Spidey stealth are the star, though. 150 hit combos never felt so good. Almost always had a great time there. Pretty much all of the side stuff is very good too with the notable exception of crime. Crimes can suck my ass.
Also, I wouldn't say it's a mess by any stretch, but the bugs are noticeable. Lots of enemies landing in unreachable areas and missions disappearing/ending preemptively. I had four hard crashes.

It looks incredible. Almost like they just dropped the CG model from the movies into the game lol.
Haven't beaten it myself, but I'll say you might have trouble playing only an hour....but that's a compliment, trust me. The different pieces of content are just bite-sized enough and fun that I can fire it up and 3 hours go by.
Man, you must've had some really high expectations if you "tempered" them, wrote all those positives and STILL came out disappointed. I think it's a solid 9/10, and the best superhero game since Arkham Asylum.
LOL. For real.
Like it doesn't make sense. The lighting on the suit and everything seem to look way better than any other suit. That suit in the rain looks so much better than any other suit.
There's an upgrade where you don't lose all of your momentum when you land if you jump immediately after
Every open world game has these bugs for a month or more out. Not even up for debate. Which is why I don't even generally play them until months have passed. But Spider-Man PS4 being less than Ultimate LOL. Yeah no. Come on dude that game has aged like piss wine.
I don't think i ever going to get gold on these drone and bomb challenges.
Man are they fucking annoying .

The stealth & walk simulator sections.....
Just why whoever thought that was a good idea lol.
