Word. Their reviews are usually on point with my views on the games ive played even if a game reviewed low to moderate.
Enjoy the game bro, i know i will. Just finishing up all the GOW side quests and friday its on!!!
Am glad its not 90+ those games are boringly safe for me , just so everyone who plays it will give it a high score( ofc there are exceptions ).But usually 80s is the sweet spot , I either love it or hate it.
Weirdly enough very few of my fav games get 90+ because of flaws , but those flaws are why I tend to like it more. Yakuza is another good example , that game is never gonna get 90+.

Pros: world building, story, main quest, boss fights, web swing, combat, suits.(story and boss fights seems to be amazing)
Cons: side quests, side content in general and side activities
lol yeah if I could break into best buy tonight.. They'd open the store with me playing.. And as they take me away I'd be laughing hysterically like the joker on speed.. Haa hhha ahhhahaa
With that said the 7th seems like a long way away...
Pros: Beautiful, Web Slinging, Gameplay is fun, Story ends in a satisfying way?
Cons: Mission Structure, repetitive missions/side quests / doesn't break the mold of open world games or games that came before.
I hate to say it...
But you forgot Fortnite. If PUBG got nominated last year, Fortnite definitely will this year considering how much of a phenomenon it is.
I'm kind of disappointed that we aren't getting some fleshed out side quests. Guess the DLC will remedy that though I guess
Yeah, i said as much in my followup post. Comparing MC scores across different generations also isn't very fruitful.
Why are people so strung up on metacritic scores? I can understand if the game was universally panned in the actual reviews, but it's not. Unless everyone is being ironic.
Do side quests have other villains in them or are they all random thug missions?
This is the highest rated Spider-Man game since "Spider-Man" on the PS1, which also has an 87 on Metacritic.
It's in an Early Access gray area, though quite frankly it shouldn't be (it's in a good enough state to be complete)
I saw people claming that yes, some side activities have villains but they are few.
Probably saving some good villains for the sequel so there's that.
Yeah, im almost bribing a employee of a bookstore here that already has the game to get it early for me.
I never played Sunset Overdrive but did it have a lot of side missions outside of the main stuff and if so, was is varied? The side content seemed like a problem from the start with Spider-Man and when information started coming out about what you could do, it seemed about as by the book as you can get. Really hope Insomniac learn from this and in future games put a lot more thought into the side stuff but much like Horizon, they seem to have got the core correct.
Infamous:SS also had a big problem when it came to side missions, still loved the fuck out of the game but it was repetitive and much to Sucker Punches credit, it was a release window game. Maybe I'm expecting too much, comparing games to what R* make where they have bigger budgets and time but it is what it is, R* to me are best in class by about a million miles.

This is more of a Nintendo problem than a Sony problem for me.
Lower than 90 is a bit disappointing. Was hoping for and expecting a bit higher.
Will definitely get it at some point, but going to hold off for now.

Nah, they weren't Sunset Overdrive's good side. They were like pretty much all open world games (fetch quests) + arena combat, which admitedly were fun.
I think the open world games with the best side missions, for me, are The Witcher 3 (of course) and Watch Dogs 2 (they had pretty fun stories all around). The rest, it varies a lot, GTA V had some good Strangers but others were kinda bad, for example.
You sort of answered the first paragraph with what you said in the second. It's not a lack of thought, it's more likely about time and budget when you compare it to something like a Rockstar game.
Friday is the only release day that makes sense. Tuesday was always just you crazy Yanks
Seriously though it's because of the long weekend or something
What AAA games arent released full price around launch? This is a weird critique.
Gotta be A+ (90+) or A- for people to feel like they have another exclusive to flaunt or something I dunno. Watch Red Dead not even be as big a deal even though it's probably gonna score like 96 lol. Smash thread will be big too, but Smash is really an event by fans so I'll leave that alone. But yeah, exclusive games, it's serious business.
The complaints seems genuine and since this is basically a new IP for Insomniac, I'm expected the more flawless sequel to be the real breakthrough. Should have a lot of inspiration to take from by then.
I posted this in another thread, but:
Spider-Man |OT| The itsy-bitsy spider, went up the waterspout. Down came the rain, but all we saw was drought.
As for the scores, this about what I expected, so I'm extremely pleased. I can't wait to get my copy on Friday. Please deliver, Amazon. :/

Because it's only really Sony first party games that have this kind of price point at all retailers?
This is pretty silly. I can understand using MC as a barometer but to base your decision on a three point difference is ridiculous. Just read some reviews and see if the flaws are something that would be a dealbreaker for you. Scores aren't everything.
And sequels generally about better than the original (not always but usually). If that's the case, this is one hell of a starting point
This game looks absolutely stunning but my backlog is so huge now I feel like I can't justify buying anything at release when it's bound to be $30 within a year.
I still have to finish the Uncharted Collection (I'm on UC3 and loving it), Lost Legacy, RE7, God of War, Detroit, and I have my hacked SNES Classic with Chrono Trigger that I've been meaning to start along with about 100 other games I never played back in the day.
It's a good time to be a gamer.
BTW I used to be a Spiderman fan when I was a kid but haven't read any comics in about 15 years. I've heard Ultimate Spiderman is good. Would the trade paperbacks be a good place to jump in?

Yeaaaahhh about that. You have to remember that one: reviewers were more likely to hand out 9's and 10's back then and Two: Most of those games don't have near the same amount of reviews as Spider-Man. Spyro has like 15 reviews which isn't a fair comparison at all when Spider-Man has 82 currently. Don't bring this up.
