They namedrop and/or show Sandman, Mysterio, Chameleon and Lizard as old villains that Spider-Man already dealt with but I would've liked to see them in a DLC. It could still happen I suppose.
Indeed, but as I said there are some that are never mentioned.
there's 3 story DLC episodes coming but I think so far it's likely Black Cat + Silver Sable + someone else?
Rad. More than anything I want Venom/Carnage, but I trust they have some good ideas regardless.

so I guess The Heist is the first one next month with Black Cat; second in November is Turf Wars and third in December is Silver Lining (so probably Silver Sable focused)

I'm also only 1/2 through the story still so no idea about the second one unless it's just more about the gangs already in it

Isnt marvel stingy about that kinda stuff?
Not sure tbh, but a sequel seems like a given the way the ending is set-up.

I would like to see a Venom, but Carnage seems to clash with the tone of the game if you ask me. Maybe I don't know enough about the character, but isn't he like ultra violent and very 90's in that way?

That is how Carnage has been portrayed generally, yeah, but they've taken such liberties with other characters that I don't see why they couldn't come up with their own thing. Honestly though I found the writing and tone of the game to be pretty eye-rolling most of the time so I wouldn't personally be concerned about them going in a different direction with the DLC.

Bianca's introduction to Anime is the same as mine(with a friend though not brother) except the first Anime I ever watched was Barefoot Gen as a young kid which sort of fucked me up. Then I saw the Fist of the North Star movie, Golgo 13 movie & Akira. After that I knew I was on board. Still have the ORION VHS tapes.

golgo 13 is good trashy fun

What didn't you like about it? I actually really enjoyed the tone of the game, but I'm not really well versed in the source material. I've only watched The Animated Series as a child.

Hammerhead maybe? or bringing back tombstone?

Honestly the reception of the game's writing has been nearly universally positive. They maintained the spirit of the character very well, which is a lot more difficult than it sounds when you have such a popular character and have to make it work in a different medium.

Maybe the tone isn't to someone's taste, but the writing itself is pretty spot on.

I was thinking the latter but I haven't finished those missions so I'm not sure where it goes. Along those lines, I'm wondering if the Black Cat one will require you to have done all her stuff in the main game, hmm.

Most of my issues with the writing/plot so far have just been it feeling kinda disjointed at points rather than anything outright bad. I've talked about the end of act 1/start of act 2 stuff before but I got a little whiplash from it, and there's a couple other points like that. Some of it just comes with the mission structure, but then again some of it just makes me think they needed to be a lot more willing to do cutscenes (or several of them) before dropping you back in the world.

and, then, well, there's the cop stuff too but I've said my thoughts there as well; if anything it's gotten better but also slightly harder to buy other parts now that I've immediately heard Peter actually use the word "fascist", hmm

I've never cosplayed, but if I ever do, it'll be of Tuxedo Mask.

Let's just move past him being a college guy creeping on middle and high school girls...

my tomb raider blitzpressions

+ lots of puzzles so far
+ a whole lot less combat so far
+ game is suuuuuper pretty, like uc4 levels of pretty and Lara looks Kingsglaive level cgi quality at times
+ Jonah actually gets to be a character for once, mostly, and the banter between him and Lara is good, mostly
the whole "this tsunami is my fault!" and "it's not all about you Lara! we have to help these people!" coulda been interesting if they actually, uh, did something with it

just cuts to the next scene and there's a little tension that's gone and not brought up again after their next shared catastrophe

like, why does he even associate with her???
- actual story is still pretty whatever, I still don't know what they want to do with Lara as a character
- puzzles can be a little iffy, like I know what do to but I don't know how they want me to do it
- I enjoyed what I played of it but I can't say I'm really eager to continue

in short, fans of the genre will probably enjoy it

I agree with most of this. Puzzles are fine but the jumping can be a bit iffy. It wasn't really an issue in the old titles because you didn't need to jump much, in this one, you do.

I like the new focus on puzzles, and after 11 hours, the combat doesn't really happen more often. Unless the pacing changes dramatically for the second half of the game, there is a looot less combat than in the previous 2 titles.

ok, I'm only in 13:00 still, but someone really needs to play 428 so we can get Kajiwara and Tama into GOTY character discussions

Shadow is objectively better than Rise in every dept so far.

I agree exept there seemed to be more point to the stuff you collected in Rise than there is in Shadow. And there's a lot to collect in Shadow.

Should they make another one i really hope they drop some of the collectathon aspect. Aside from the story, it's the worst part of the game.

Oh shit... I just got spidey suit you unlock at level 41

Vintage Comic Book Suit

Not sure I'd want to use it during story stuff cause it would look really dumb but for when I'll be clearing the map post story? For sure!

Also lol at that suit's power... I bet Dan would love it

Yeah I'm seriously surprised we haven't got a peep about that game from giantbomb. I thought it would have been Vinny's shit entirely.


What happened to fmvinny guys.

What did they do to him.

I wonder if it being PS4/PC isn't helping; most of the VN stuff he's played has been on handhelds, and I assume that'd help due to his commute and all that

I wish it was on Vita cause I'd play it more too

especially as if I want to play it while eating I have to use Remote Play on my laptop and it works horrible despite literally being across the room with a very fast internet connection

Has he played VNs in the vita? I feel like he always referred to those mockingly.

I used the "default" one for a while, then switched to the one from the Black Cat missions but didn't really like it very much, and settled on the Homecoming suit.

My main disappointment with this game is the lack of the classic black (symbiote) suit.

Btw, just got the platinum for it, fantastic game.

They're saving the black suit for the sequel.

I don't know about the series but I enjoyed the film(I'm sure it's the same which as you say is some good trashy fun).

The series is good for a handful of episodes. It depends on how much you can tolerate every episode being essentially the same thing. Like Detective Conan, but instead of Conan solving yet another locked room mystery, it's Golgo shooting yet another highly-secure target. Just a 50 episode string of unrelated missions, from what I remember.

Not sure how I'm feeling about the Trials beta so far (aside from the core gameplay being solid as ever) but the high schooler in me got a kick out of hearing a Sum 41 song in a game for the first time in ages.

Dan is going to be such a pain in this GOTY when Spider-Man gets brought up, judging by the Beastcast.

It's a personal GB list. If he doesn't like it that should be reflected in their list. It's a reflection of no one else's opinion or enjoyment of the game. I think people tie their own validation of games too closely to GB's totally arbitrary lists.

I dunno; I would hope he didn't play ZTD on 3DS vs the Vita, but I don't think I ever actually listened to the GOTY discussion of the ZE games to know either way

but I was mainly comparing to ZE + AA and only mentioned the Vita because that'd be the realistic handheld platform (beyond Switch) for this specifically; I don't think he's played anything beyond that VN-wise, though in terms of actual VNs on the Vita there's not really that much mock-worthy out in English

(I could see... Vinny liking Code: Realize...)

EDIT:

I think they were alluding to the discussion that will happen rather than actually caring about placement, but I may be wrong

Hot Take: MAHVEL'S Spiderman and Dad of War will either come in "11th" or "12th" or be first off the list anyways.
