I doubt you are smart enough to create your own web slingers and other gadgets. I also doubt you can design and sew your own costume. You be Spider-Man? Dont make laugh.

Riiight so when they expect a 98 Metacritic they just send out review codes in beta form a few months early?
How short was the campaign?? And how did you get a jump on the embargo?
Ha, ha, no, they just do what Santa Monica and Nintendo did when they expected a high 90s Metacritic with GoW and BotW respectively: lift embargo a couple of weeks prior to launch. That's it. I know you were joking but it was a dumb joke.
Betting on 89. I think there will be a lot of Arkham comparisons. Games that hit 90+ this gen do a lot of radically new things. I expect this to be awesome, but I think the familiarity of the genre from Arkham games will slightly hurt this critically.
So, 89.
I will devour this game.

A couple weeks before launch
God of War 8 days
Breath of the Wild 1 day before launch
Ok i stand corrected. TLoU I believe was also more than a week as well.
So no, expecting a high 90s doesn't translate into getting the game when it's in beta.
This is what I'm thinking, it will be good and will play well but it will be like a lot of other games. Lots of map filling and icons with random events, plenty of side quest content but it will be repetitious.
God I hope this post won't get quoted in two weeks
Which, by the way, are going to be the longest in my life.
pros: great story and characterizations, great gameplay
con: ubisoft towers
7/10- Gamespot
Yep, this is a dev that has confidence on his own work.
Game must be amazing
Not going to break into the 90s. Played the game at Comic Con. It's very polished, but it uses a lot of older open world design ideas. The side activities specifically are very cut and paste. You'll often go to an area and either stealthily take out a group of enemies or fight 3-4 waves of goons. But, it's a beautiful and polished game. And the main missions look great. So I'd guess 86-88
Older like Witcher 3 and GTA V? "Random crimes" in Spiderman games fall in the same category as side jobs and yoga in GTA or monster nests in Witcher
Although this sounds like the devs are actually trying to be a bit different with that aspect
Side activities aren't the same as side quests though, which I imagine will be far more meatier and varied, such as the City Never Sleeps DLC missions

meh if you look at it like that, that is what all games are. Arkham? Go to a room, fight baddies, another room do puzzles, another room do predator take down rinse and repeat. God of War? Walk into an area, fight enemies, go to another area do a puzzle rinse and repeat.
Clearly you bothered reading the OP which has a quote that directly addresses this.
It's not like god of war.
Specifically, I found a group of goons on the roof of a building, spider man has a quick back and forth with another character, I was seen, I knock out the goons, then more come from monster closets, I knock them out, then more, etc. until Spider Man basically says "that takes care of that". There's no narrative attached to it.
Then I went to a different side activity and it was, no joke, the exact same thing as above, but inside a building.
I already said I believe the game will be great. I think it'll score 86-88 on metacritic. But I think the side content could be dissapointing.

And yet RDR2 will end up being something like a 98 like GTAV even though it will do a lot of things other open world games have done. Even if Spider Man does it doesn't mean anything.
Oh i missed this thread. Shits gonna be dope
My mc guess 91, barring a maverick reviewer with a 50 or something of course

Every open world game has that though
That said I am still betting on 87 MC
Who's the Armond White of video game reviews anyway
I put my prediction at a 90. I think this is really going to surprise some people. Insomniac has been afforded the time they need to create the game they envisioned and that always leads to great things.
Witcher 3 has a massive amount of side quests outside of the monster nests. The side content in Spider Man seems to be stuff like "find hidden backpacks" "take over Fisk hideouts" "stop random crimes" and "climb towers to reveal the map". If monster nests and hidden treasures made up the majority of the side content in Witcher 3, then you'd have a point.
We'll see though. That's just what I noticed when I played the game
Closest would be Tom Chick I'd say (Quarter to Three)
Halo 4 - 2/10
Forza Horizon 2 - 2/10
COD Blops 3 - 4/10
Sleeping Dogs - 4/10
inFAMOUS Secon Son - 4/10
Resident Evil 7 - 4/10
State of Decay 2 - 10/10
Agents of Mayhem - 10/10
BotW's embargo was lifted a day before the game came out so ...
Same for Mario Odyssey.
