When does Best Buy normally send out codes for pre-orders on digital purchases? I had a ton of BB credit saved up so I used some of it to purchase Spider-Man. I still haven't received a code though :( .

My first verdict after 6 hours with the game and 32% completion:
Awesome! I love love love the traversal and the combat can be difficult but is always satisfying.
You really feel like a superhero.

The story missions are well paced so far and offer quite some variety. I also like the quieter sections of game.
Only the random events feel repetitive already.

Oh and it looks amazing on a PS4 Pro with downsampling on a 1080p TV.

Is the 32% completion overall? If so, at your pace, you'll be finished 100% in 20 hours. And what difficulty level are you playing on?

Did not expect that!

Stan Lee cameo

I'm getting the hang of the combat. I do find it slightly off that people holding baseball bats need air combat though because Spider-Man suddenly can't just punch through it.

Yeah including side stuff. I'm playing on the default difficulty.

Actually the 6 hours was just a guess. I don't see any play time counter in the game.

Just received mine (tomorrow is the Independence holiday here in Brazil, so the shipments must be happening early). The Brazilian Disc version comes with some bonus: Suit Pack, Spider-Drone, 5 Ability Points, Avatar and Theme. And the store I bought also sent me a mini-poster.

Also, the hype train meme is fine and has been going for years. Fuck all wrong with it, people are excited who cares?

I'm only miffed I'm not on it :(

I wanted to enjoy both Arkham City and Knight after loving Asylum but I could never get over how badly Batman controlled, so the idea of an open world superhero game with Insomniac polish to the controls is very exciting for me.

Best Buy finally gave me a UPS tracking number, but it's not even in UPS possession yet, and thus not yet in their system, so I don't have a delivery date yet. Grrr. Not getting it tomorrow at this rate.

Also, no difficulty related trophies, right? Can anyone give me a general, spoiler-free rundown of the trophy list? Is doing everything/100% completing the game enough to get the platinum?

Is hard/spectacular the hardest, or can you unlock harder?

Best Buy has still yet to ship my CE. Is anyone else still waiting on theirs to ship from them? Starting to look like I won't get it tomorrow which is BS.

Can you turn off the little squares that indicate where you can swing? They don't really bother me but I thought the game would look really cool if the HUD can be turned off entirely.

A lot of people are waiting on Best Buy, for all versions. My standard edition just got a UPS tracking number like 4 hours ago, and UPS doesn't even have it yet

This is so stupid. NBA2k19 and Spiderman are both releasing tomorrow but Bestbuy is only doing a midnight or rather a 9PM release for NBA2k. I guess Sony didnt allow the 9PM release. So silly.

Red Dead, Fallout 76 are also getting these 9PM releases while Blackops is the only game getting a midnight release.

Sony needs to get their shit together. No God of War midnight release. And now this. Come on. 9PM would have been perfect. Now i have to sit through an entire workday while school children get to play spiderman all day. Dont they know the average age of gamer is like 37? We are all manchildren with jobs and shit. let us buy the game at 9PM or even midnight while the kids are sleeping.

Played the first 3 hours of the game. LOVING it so far . The traversal is fun. The missions are varied so far and the best bits have been interacting with pedestrians and their reactions to what's happening in the city ( I love the random " everyday crimes " on the streets, they're well-integrated effortlessly and you don't feel like it's a forced side quest).

I didn't follow many news about the game but
her playability surprised me. I knew that she would be playable but I didn't know how it would be incorporated. That small stealth session was fun and I like how they incorporated her journalism as a key element to explore and learn about the world
What difficulty did you guys start on?
Normal difficulty for the first normal playthrough ( it's called something else in the game but I forgot what it was)

I don't see how that's on Sony. My Gamestop had a 9pm God of War release and they're doing Spider-Man tonight.

Those brute type enemies are BS. They attack as quickly as regular enemies but do more damage and their attacks seem to have perfect tracking and cover a great distance. To top it all off they can only be damaged when staggered via weapon throw or bound via webbing.

if they are doing NBA and not Spiderman, it's on Sony.

gamespot typically only does midnight releases. are you on the east coast or west? because westcoast store typically allow 9PM releases since embargos usually end on east coast time.

How are they gonna stop it? Those YouTubers aren't under any NDA. The exact same thing happened with God of War.
if they are doing NBA and not Spiderman, it's on Sony.

Sony would want less stores selling their game at 9pm tonight? Why?

So you think Sony isn't letting Best Buy do Spider-Man, but Gamestop can? Unless they have some sort of exclusive agreement, I don't see that happening.
And I'm in the central time zone.

thats what i am wondering. it makes no sense. just let us buy the game. my order is already prepped so they have the copies in store.

No I'm telling people photoshopping avatars onto a train is dumb as fuck.
You're taking it more seriously than anyone involved in it.

Right, which is why your irritation seems misplaced. It's Best Buy's call, not Sony.
