the side activities complaints are a bit disappointing but when we started seeing more footage of the game i kinda expected that to be the case. however, ign's review mentioning that a few of them are a step above the rest has alleviated some of my fears. anyway, everything else looks spectacular and i'm happy that it's reviewing very well. literally the only game i've been excited for this whole year and i can't wait to get my hands on that sexy special edition. kudos to insomniac!
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. He said 3rd party games become cheap quickly, which is somewhat true, but that statement doesn't apply to this games since it's the first party game.
Anyways, I fucked up and mislabeled that review as Polygon when it was Waypoint. Had a brain fart. It's early.
Yeah the 15-20 hour range sounds good makes the game replayable easier.
Like for example when i finish dragon quest 11 i wont replay a 80-100 hour game for a good year or few years atleast where i would replay a smaller game quicker.

I don't get the criticisms of length. Not everyone can sit and sink 200 hours into a Witcher style game. It's Spiderman, there's only so much original content you can fit in there without it just becoming a super repetitive grinding mess. 15-20 hrs is good for me. Same with people who criticised TLOU when it first came out. My playtime ended up at 22 hours. I took my time (probably died a lot) and soaked it up and it felt suitably epic without outlasting it's welcome. Others rushed through in 10 hours or so and complained. Meh. Can't keep everyone happy I suppose.
You can, they've confirmed this on twitter a few times. I like to do some side stuff in between missions, and once I feel a bit of tedium jump into the story again and then back.
Is it very spoilery? I watched like 2 minutes then bailed lol.
You're saying it won't review well, but that it'll end up in the mid 80's, which would mean it... reviewed well.
Just surprised, I figured at least a 9 from them.
I like her a great deal in the game. You can point to her and say, "Lois Lane" but gives her more agency and drive.
In fact, I like how MJ and Miles are handled in the game over their comic counterparts. There's a misstep on Miles' side, but Insomniac has a good overall take on his backstory that Marvel should steal.
Damn nobody seems to read. IGN said 15 hours to complete the game. Many paragraphs later they mention the side content and said it can easily add 15-20 hours.
I'd rather a shorter game with AAA content all through-out then a 50 hour long game with annoying and repetitive missions that bore me. That being said, I have high hopes that spider-man will deliver quality and fun missions through-out.
Weren't all the batman games sub 15hours?

The problem is that it requires a lot of work to create variety, because the first time the interaction might be interesting and fun but put it on repeat and you got a problem.
Insomniac are definitely going to grow for the development of the inevitable sequel.
Dynamic encounters like in WD2 would be amazing.
Never said it wouldn't review well...
Just said it wouldn't be this 90+ thing some people are expecting.
Sony and MS exclusives always drop in price quickly. Also, Sony doesn't control the pricing of retail games.
I said I'd donate $500 to a charity of Insomniac's choice if this got 90 metacrtitc.
Guessing 86 to 89 was the easiest gosh darn guess ever.
That said, games like this, if you're a fan of the IP you can add at least 5 when they nail it, which this clearly does. I'm very excited to play this.

Yep. It doesn't look like it'll hold a candle to what Arkham Asylum did with the Batman IP sadly. Everything I'm seeing about Spider-Man screams "cool traversal and combat laid on top of a standard open world formula", which for me simply isn't enough in a post-BOTW industry.
I'll give it a fair shake as a rental for sure, but the reviews are confirming my suspicions.
Amazon's default product image for the $60 edition seems to show a steelbook case, is that accurate? I don't see it mentioned in the description. That might get me to buy day one after all.
Pretty much exactly what I expected. A very well made, if unremarkable and not very innovative title. Given my feelings about the Arkham series and other open world games like this, probably a rent/buy on sale for me. Maybe it'll be like Uncharted, where the first one was a great technical achievement but it wasn't until the second game that the series sort of actually reached "very good" territory.
I think it'll rest at 88 at this point, yeah. When the initial flux of reviews are finished. The ones that come after are usually always the higher ones, 9s and 10s.
It won't be $20 for a while, people are getting more money for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on PS4.
