That's a funny thing to say given Gamecentral was founded by many time Edge editor Tony Mott after Digitiser finished.
wasn't that deal done way in advance of any game deal even being considered though?
The preorder is just an early unlock. You can get every suit in game.
High 80s is fine, folks. Not every game needs to be clawing for the "10/10 best of all time" top slot. High 80s, especially for a superhero game of all games, is insanely good.
Happy for the Insomniac crew. Even if I have personal issues with some of the choices they've made, I'm glad the game is being received so well. They deserve success.

Lol @ people getting their britches in a kink over Waypoint of all publications talking about the political context of actual in-game content. That's kind of their thing, and yes, it's relevant.
I'd be surprised if they didn't do one. They always seem to hit the big games at least.
A 4.5/5 would push it back up to an 88 on Metacritic most likely too.
I do you one better. Dark Reign was inspired by The 9/11, Iraq war, patriot act, etcpolitics in Spider Man???? nevah!!

You can unlock it pretty early on by taking on side activities to get "tokens". You get these tokens by doing certain challenges like webbing 3 guys to a wall in a fight. Once you have the required amount of tokens for your suit of choice, you can craft it. Some suits are locked behind levels though.
Picking up collectibles trinkets and doodads is absolutely busywork.
Like, what am I reading? "Woah man, if it's fun to web swing, low effort content can't possibly exist" You wouldn't play a whole game of taking pictures and picking up backpacks, nor would you play a game that is solelt traversal. That's because there's not enough meat to them compared to the rest of the game.
I trust EZA from a "gamers" perspective more than any other site. They look at a game as a game and judge it solely on those merits. If they enjoy it then I know i'll have a great time with it.
I know, right? I almost never go for plats, but I might for this since it sounds so manageable.
politics in Spider Man???? nevah!!
God, this was a gut-punch. I remember picking this up from the comic shop as a kid right after 9/11, and it kind of helping me work through things.
Cool then, I've watched the Skill Up review already with some new (amazing) footage so I guess it'll be all right. Thanks!
Do they even do half scores anymore? I don't think they do.
edit: just checked, they don't.
I think this game deserves to hit a higher metacrtic score than the original PS1 Spider-Man. Currently they are neck and neck (the original game only has 17 critic reviews though) at 87. The original game doesn't even hold up well at that. All these 10s and 9s and somehow 5 mixed reviews are bringing it under 90.
How many of those instant fail missions/situations are there? Why are people still designing those quests?
You dont have to copy BotW to do things differently. I do agree that this model is getting kinda old, it works nicely for linear stories but I cant play more than 1 without needing a break for a couple of months.
For the record, BotW is my fave open world game of all time, so if there are more games like that in all for it lol.
LOL.
Thank you for all the fun and goodbye (add to ignore list)...
Strange. You say this like it's a bad thing.
There's plenty of room for sites like Waypoint.
You may not be their target audience, but there's unquestionably an audience out there who appreciates and respects their content.
impossible! escapism! escapism! escapism!
Spider Man 2 gets put on a pedestal because of it's web swinging. there are a handful of better Spider Man games.
politics in Spider Man???? nevah!!
I dont see a mention of Trump. Thats the issue.
I would if those things were mechanically or narratively satisfying to do which seems to be the case for Spider-Man.
They are for the most part. Some of god of wars was a little challenging due to the game's difficulty and the optional bosses but I don't think you were required to beat them on hard or anything, so you could bump it down if you wanted.
My thing with them was always the low amount of trophies too. Obviously a minor gripe and all, don't misunderstand, but like why so many of their games only do 25-35 trophies? lol
Ultimate Spider-Man all day man. Replayed it recently and the art style somewhat holds up AND it manages to incorporate a bevy of other Marvel characters.
That or Neversoft PS1 Spidey.
But... they didnt mention Trump in the game.
Whats your issue here then?
Do you even understand what the Trump mention was about? He's saying a game set in a real world setting has social commentary even if it doesn't explicitly mention the current President.
