Marvel’s Spider-Man |OT| Face it, Tiger… you just hit the jackpot!
- Thread starter tgrfawcett

There's like 8 and they take like 5 minutes. I did them all, challenges included in one sitting.
Lord willing they patch in NG+ between now and the first DLC so that you can just replay the game in it
Main story straight through? Maybe 6-8 hours? I got sidetracked a lot.
One of the suits I'm not even gonna craft. Spider-Man with a sleeveless hoodie and gothic bracelets. It looks ridiculous in my opinion. Just like the homemade suit, last stand suit, noir suit, spirit suit, punk suit and wrestler suit. Only reason I may unlock these, is if their power is interesting.
Can't wait to unlock the velocity suit though. That thing looks badass.
I also love the Scarlet Spider outfit. So good. 90's kid for life.
On that note, has anyone tried the iron spider skill with different suits? I wonder how that looks.
So quick question, I used all my challenge tokens on my gadgets and I need 20 to unlock the last few suits. But I went through the map and counted how many tokens I have left to get and there's only 16. Am I just going to be unable to get these last few suits?
Can't you just replay the challenges and get more tokens?
Is that how it works? I thought once you got x3 in a challenge there would be no more tokens left for it.
Just finished the story
I think this will absolutely be one of the games I'll be buying the DLC for.
What an emotional ride it was, I wasn't ready for May's death, despite hinting at it I really thought they weren't gonna pull it off but man, not only did they went with it, everything about it was heartbreaking, brought tears to my eyes. Everything felt like it had a very good payoff, from MJ (whom I loved in this game, such a strong personality) and Miles (felt a bit tacked on but I can't deny that post-credits scene got me hyped) and the stuff with Otto as well, Peter learning that some people can't be saved from their own demons.
Overall, I loved my time with the game, I still have a few stuff to power through which I will be focusing on. Act II gameplay wise felt like it suffered a bit thanks to the storytelling, confining most villains to the final hours, though working perfectly for the story, left a bit of a void in the midst of things, would've loved some C or D tier baddies make an appearance.

Continue the story and they will come back again. There is a stretch with very few of them, but then they come back en masse. So just continue the story.
If you're talking about things like the stealth and drone challenges remember the golds are worth 3 tokens not one. So a first time gold clear of a challenge is worth 6 challenge tokens. If you're still missing some even golding every event I'm not sure where the missing ones would be.
Oh! Okay, that makes much more sense. I just counted them up individually, didn't know they multiply. Thanks!
Not sure. I've heard there is a limit of 6 tokens per challenge but I can't confirm that.
You should technically be able to perfect all challenges to get the maximum amount of tokens and be able to unlock all suits. I said f*** that though and reloaded one of the many story savegames the game throws at you (thankfully I left every side quest for after the story, cause otherwise I'd have nothing left to do) and did the unlock all suits trophy there in ~30 minutes. But yes, it's best to not spam too many gadget upgrades early on (so you can do the suit trophy and then reload a savegame with the tokens for the upgrades).
Story done spoiler:
I'm also team anti-Act 3. I loved the boss fights but I couldn't suspend my disbelief that the Avengers don't bother showing up even though the final act is essentially 1-2 days ingame time. Sloppy writing IMHO + I'm insanely tired of the "Spidey is a menace let's throw armored goons with lasers at him" story twist. Hope the DLC stories are more intimate & grounded and not "NYC is on fire but Tony Stark drinks cocktails at his Malibu Beach mansion instead of rocket boosting over here with an army of drones in 45 minutes IG time". /rant
Anyone cross the bridges?
First of all.....what the hell is going on with the actual bridge, second of all when you cross it....wut

I imagine a good in game excuse is that Mayor Osborn didn't want them in and that he had it under control. Once the mayor lets them in he'l have more trouble keeping his shit undercover which is why Sable was there.
Most unrealistic thing about this game is that Pete doesn't get hat hair
Is this a Metal Gear Solid reference??
High action car chases are so cool.
I always thought it was a fine suit but after seeing how many horribles are in the game I started to loved it lol.
Might be top 5 at least.
Despite TRULY loving the game, me and my roommate have been talking about how unnervingly neoliberal this representation of Spidey is through the side content. It's a fun thing to joke about but it honestly makes us feel a little bit gross. I don't think there was any ill-intent in the writing of the story and character, but the game doesn't exist in a vacuum and, in this climate, it makes Spider-Man feel like less of a hero of the people.
I just came across an article on Deadspin that shares this exact sentiment: https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/they-turned-spider-man-into-a-damn-cop-and-it-sucks-1828944087
Highlights:
The writer of the article, like my roommate and I, is still fairly early in the game so maybe it addresses this later, but it feels like it's baked into the themes.
The way it acts as if systematic oppression doesn't exist and every low level criminal is a bad-to-the-core individual who got into crime by choice. Not like every random enemy needs a backstory, but when Spider-Man is saying things like "Drug deals are in my top five worst crimes" (or whatever) and, as mentioned above, "If you just got real jobs you wouldn't have to work so hard at being criminals!" it is said as if it is absolute truth and you have no reason not to believe him.
And yes, I understand that this is about as much context as any other spider-man game gave in the past, but we are in different times. Games are political, and this one is occasionally a little more Right than I think it realizes.
Still, fantastic game and great writing outside of this. But I think it's a message worth discussing.

I couldn't enjoy games if I looked into them as much as this
Why would the game even need to give an excuse for this? This is common ground for any comic book reader, they imply they're there but might be doing their own shit, we don't know, and frankly people shouldn't even be bothered by it, I find it so silly
Okay, so
Is that a sort of symbiote on Harry's body?
Just finished it myself and I thought it was rough around the edges with some real moments of brilliance and a hell of a payoff towards the end. Broadly I pretty much have the same opinions as you though.
Really enjoyed the game overall and think it's a great base to build future games on. I would have liked to have seen the side content have a bit more stuff like the Tombstone missions, but all in all congrats to the Insomniac team and to Sony for another enjoyable single player game for their roster to prove SP gaming is alive and well.
Finished the main story. It remained impressive til the very end, what a ride. I'm already level 50 and still got some bases and a lot of crimes left to cover for the plat, but I think I just screwed myself over for the All Suits trophy. I bought gadgets upgrades thinking I'd get enough anyway for the remainder of the suits, but it looks like I'll have to get gold on Taskmaster challenges now? Wish I'd spent the tokens on the suits first.
So about the ending:
So about the ending:
so is Harry gonna be a Green Goblin/Venom hybrid? That was a symbiote right at the end?
High action car chases are so cool.
I really need to get more screenshots of taking down heists.
Unsure if this a Spiderman related issue or not. I just notice that my psn avatar change to the Spiderman Avatar. And there are people on my friends list with the same avatar? Did the game auto change my avatar? Was it a pre-order bonus thing? Have other games done this?
this does get somewhat addressed when another faction enters the fray later in the game
