No...it's the best Spider-Man game, but not the best open world game. Not a lot of reviews are saying it's bad.

I think developers always overestimate the time of completion. It's always been the case for me.
Man...I don't even know how thats possible. That's insanely fast even on easy that would be fast. But I wonder if they mean SOME sidequests. Cause some could be from 1 to all lol
Pretty much, people should just buy the game on the system and stop trying to do these drive by port begging post.
It's evidently a good both it just has some very minor instances of open world design challenges
Skill Up said they're fantastic. That you can't walk away from this game and be disappointed by bosses.
It most certainly won't. KH3 will get countless more reviews than KH1 or KH2 ever did. It's going to land somewhere in the mid 80s is my guess because it's a AAA game from Square in the HD era that isn't one in which they're just a publisher for, since those are usually their highest. That's just my guess. You can have your own view without harping on mine.

Nano machines from counter earth I think?? He also had some symbiote sound thing that would hurt them.
It's longer for sure. I swung around the city and did side-quests / explored in between main story chapters, and I'd say it was about 22-23 hours before I saw credits roll. I've spent a few more hours in the game since then, and I'm at about 85% completion for the entire map in terms of side-quests / collectibles. There's a ton to do and to collect, and if you're the type of person who, like me, enjoys just swinging around and having fun with no specific objective every once in a while, you're going to get much more mileage out of this. Certainly much more than 15-20 hours. Perhaps double that.
I expect most of you will be wrapping up with side content around the time that the first DLC drops, which I'm looking forward to very much. People who can take off work, or who don't have responsibility to family, who can play for uninterrupted hours at a time for multiple days in a row, may finish it long before then.
Sony will want to push PS5s by the time the sequel (if there is one) releases. There's no reason for them to hold the game back with PS4 specs.

lol damn....that's a huge bet. Practically a "you'll pay for the other one's PS5 if you lose" bet. What did you bet in return?
They only own the film rights. Has nothing to do with this game being an exclusive. Insomniac actually had the choice to make a game with whichever Marvel character they wanted and chose Spider-Man
Not at all. Just the side content doesn't add to the open world, everyone says exploring and jumping around the city is amazing. Hopefully the DLC fixes that anyway.
15 hours seems a little low to me, but I did all the side missions and got a good amount of the collectibles and there wasn't an in-game hour count that I noticed; I'm pretty bad at keeping track of that stuff without it.
So IGN scores it an 87, which is basically in the exact range that this forum predicted and around the current Metacritic, what is the issue there?
LTTP: Spider-Man is everything I hate about modern game design
Getting there. Few more 10s haven't been added yet so it's only going to go up. Seems like at this point it'll land around 88-89 in terms of the final score.
Yup, future Spider-Man games will be PlayStation exclusives as well. That much is clear, and this game is going to be HUGE, so this partnership ain't ending anytime soon.
I find it a bit strange how people are posting that they're happy with the fact that it's the "best Spider-Man game", as if that's a high bar to clear. They seem relieved! Like, has there ever even been a Spider-Man game that's better than mediocre? Treyarch's Spider-Man 2 from 2004 appears to be the only one that's come close and even that wasn't a particularly good game outside of its web-slinging.
Polygon
I'm confused, is she criticizing the game for that? Why the hell would we want a Spider-Man game to make references to Trump?
If you think Sony are throwing probably north of 100m dollars (with marketing) into a 1-off Spidey game for Marvel/Disney to take away, I don't know what to tell you either.
My youtube subscription page is so full of Spiderman right now lmao Gotta watch some of those reviews
Thank you. So happy for Insomniac, Sony and Marvel. Can't wait to play the best Spidey game to date :D
She doesn't. The game stays away from Trump references, but she (and Jim Sterling as well) love how Jameson is presented as an Alex Jones type conspiracy show host.
