I'm going for 100% not just a platinum. This is my favorite game this year which is saying something as I dumped 800 hours into Monster Hunter World.
The
challenges were the biggest pain in the journey so far but I managed to gold them all. The Drone challenges were the hardest for me. The worst being a score of 39991 when I needed 40000 for gold, the Bomb ones were almost all ace'd first try except the first since I didn't know what I was doing. The stealth challenges went similarly. The Combat challenges were mixed. I ace'd two and the other two took forever to gold.
I had the most fun with the stealth challenges because finding the perfect route to systematically shut down a bunch of goons without being spotted was like a Batman Predator challenge on speed.
In case anyone else is having trouble here's what worked for me:
Drones: Learn the routes and figure out which corners you can cut. The drone will speed up to keep ahead of you and that's the easiest way to buy time at the end. the L2+R2 perch into launch is a great way to safely pop a camera while sticking to the drone too, though be careful as more than once I was perched far away from my intended landing spot.
Bombs: Every bomb location has a perch spot right next to it. Get in range and spam L2+R2 until Spidey makes contact then chuck the bomb and mash R1. Always start with the closest bomb too as the route to the others from there is usually straight forward.
Stealth: While the level is loading in look for an enemy without a backup and perch as close as you can to do the perch takedown. The upgrades to boost the range really help here. In the maps with snipers start with the tallest point and work your way down. When there's two guards you can shoot a web as a distraction and usually take them both out.
Combat: I found changing suit powers to accomodate the main challenge of each arena to be the key to success here. The boosted Focus power from the white spider suit is great to clear out an early wave or keep your HP topped off. The multi takedown and slow motion on perfect dodge upgrades put in serious work here too to help manage crowds. For the Brutes impact webbing and then the web spin will usually stick them to a wall. For one challenge the electric fists suit power saved my ass basically stun locking the whole room while I took them apart. Speed will make up for an otherwise poor performance HP and combo wise which is why I like the focus + multi takedown combo as you reduce enemy numbers with a quickness that way. You still regen focus mid finisher too while the power is active..

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?
You downloaded it and I think it said it would change avatar. It's kind of cool seeing my list full of Spider-Man ones.
Must be nice to live in ignorance of the reality of the world around us.
I agree with all this except for your use of "neoliberal."
How hard is Spectacular (hard)?
I start these games on Hard every time, but I don't wanna waste what little time I have with this game throwing myself at losing battles over and over, so I gotta know if Hard is Hard or if it's Fucking Hard
kind of just... sitting at the title screen for the next ten minutes hoping that I get an answer here or at Reddit. Anyone? :p

Ok, I must of not fully read something then after put in my preorder codes.
Thanks.
I am playing on Spectacular and I find it incredibly fair. I died a bit at the beginning but once the combat clicked I only die if I personally mess up.
This game is so god damn phenomenal, combat is sublime, I rush to every random encounter because it's fun as fuck.
I love the amount of suits as well, if it's night time, there's only one option for me

I'm watching the credits roll right now. I'm amazed on how good the end was. I'm in a state of disbelief.
This game was a very solid 7/10 for me. A pure joy to play through despite some flaws. The way everything came together in the main story and how Insomniac crafted this Peter Parker/Spider-Man tale is nothing sort of Spectacular.
Of course there's things I think can be improved upon and even things that I feel was poorly done in the game but I'll save those thoughts.
I can't wait for the DLC and for the eventual sequel. Any word on how big the Black Cat DLC is going to be?

Anyone have tips for the I heart Manhatten trophy? Last one I need that's not story related and it sounds like a slog.
Yeah I thought max gadget upgrades would be a trophy so I dumped my tokens into them. I think I will drop the platinum for this game because I don't enjoy challenges enough to get good at them and get a gold in each of them.
Loving the game but damn i hate how enemies magically can hit me with their guns when i'm swinging behind them in a car chase. Or the spiderseeking fists of the bigger goons. They can be 20 feet away from me and still close that range in one punch. Another thing is how Spider-Man can bench press cars but needs up to 10 punches for regular street thugs to finally drop. I get that the game should be a challenge but damn, normal goons shouldn't be that tough against a superhuman.
Yes, I'm ignorant because I don't look so deep into a Spider-Man game.
Same. Much of the combat feels tuned to Spectacular difficulty honestly. With all these upgrades I'd probably feel unstoppable on easier difficulties. I died a bunch early on to those asshole brute heat-seeking turn-around haymakers, but since learning the nuances of the combat and getting a few more moves/gadgets unlocked, the combat is incredibly rewarding on Spectacular.
That said, the Car chase "take no damage" objective sucks on Spectacular. I'm going to have to get incredibly lucky one day and land right on top of one, because those assholes have miniature sniper rifles that never seem to miss and don't give you enough warning to dodge (while still going fast enough to close the gap).
Yeah, I'm with you.
Tombstone was the highlight. I'd also like if the quests were lengthier and progressed alongside of the story. I'd prefer fewer quests, but more to those quests left in the game, like Arkham Knight as others have said.
Now that I've finished the story, I can wear the most amazing, immersion breaking suit in the entire game
not sure if serious, it's not really being mispronounced. common thing that confused me when i first went to NYC

edit oh missed the s
I really hope the reaction to the MJ stealth missions kills shit like this for good. This is probably the worst it's ever been, the whiplash from switching from Spidey to her is just terrible. These bird brained forced stealth missions in AAA games have got to go. This is even less involved then the MSX Metal Gear games. By the 4th time you do this did no one wonder if this was actually fun or engaging? What would actually be lost by not cutting every single one of then?
I like the game a lot besides that and the police fellatio but holy shit it just kills the momentum whenever you get to these

I liked the MJ sequence where she was directing Spidey to drop down from the roof and take goons out. Until I looked up and saw he would just pop out of existence after doing it, anyway. That was an immersion breaker.
How they didn't know of how much people hate instant failure from stealth missions. Have they been in a bubble for the past 10 years?
Do they on purpose wants you to hate MJ?
Wait. Wait WHAT? Seriously?!?!!? Holy shit! FUCK YEAH. I was hoping I still had a lot more to do, hahaha. Thank you!
I've just played an hour or so. I'm enjoying it but it's definitely not wowing me like I hoped it would. The controls feel weirdly floaty to the point that I actually had to check I hadn't enabled the wrong setting on my TV.
Stealth missions get better, first couple are a chore but by the end of it they're pretty well made.
When can I buy the OST? iTunes? I had my reservations but damned if Paesano didn't at the very least put Giacchino and Zimmer to shame. His Spidey theme is a hell of a lot better than theirs.
The stealth is really satisfying, lifting the goons up from the ground one by one and hanging them from the ceiling. :D
TetraGenesis - what, so you're saying that a story about a vigilante ubermensch might be slightly right-wing?
The whole superhero genre is about special individuals who act outside of the legal process, which is at best an individualist fantasy, at worst it's purely right-wing. You've read Watchmen, right?

Must've been a bug. When I looked up at that sequence I saw Spider-Man wrapping fools up and attaching them to the ceiling. I looked up once or twice though.
Real talk though, I loved the stealth missions and walk around segments mostly because they provide a human element and you see the events going one from the eyes of normal humans and how they deal with threats that Spidey would curb stomp.
The terrorist attack sequence as Miles was more powerful than anything in the Arkham games.

It's just the best. What an absolute joy swinging around the city in that thing.
