Glad you made it through finally. If you got the hang of Batman combat (who also would get taken down by basic thugs if you failed), you'll get used to this combat.

Didn't know having some main missions had area restrictions. Or maybe I've never deviated far from the objective before while looking for collectibles nearby
Any advice on getting the 10 takedowns in the first base? I got to 9 last time before I ran out of guys.
I got 9 as well! Just make sure to have the upgrades (both skill and suit) that build focus fast.
don´t know if it´s the translation but those sayings he lets out during the fights are...not so good, Spidey comes over as a complete douchebag. wish there was an option to turn off the talking when he is fighting.
game won´t click for me unfortunately, combat looks cool but is really easy and amounts to wave after wave of enemies, the open world is Ubisoft style with collectibles and stuff, cutscenes are not so good as i expected them, traversal gets old because you don´t even have to pay attention to the swinging, just hold a button and push x from time to time, it is just like Assassins Creed parcour stuff...
it is a very safe "by the numbers" game which looks good but is complete cookie cutter in all aspects...so far it is 7/10 for me and i don´t expect it to change.

Have you never consumed Spider-Man media before? Talking shit when he fights is sort of his thing. Man the Raimi/Webb movies have damaged so many people...
Is there a way to change your stance? Earlier on in the game I could walk normally, now I seem to be stuck in a sneaking/alert walk. Spider-Man is in a constant state of paranoia, lol.
Use the power of the suit ( that gives a boost in concentration ) + keep the multiplier up. I got 9 as well but made 2-3 mistakes and lost the multiplier.
Gotta love fucking YouTube an their algorithm. Watch a few reviews last week, and now it's like "hey you want the ending, right?"
I wasn't even logged in.

This happened to me for awhile last night as well. It finally calmed down after a few side missions and then I was back high fiving pedestrians.
I went to Best Buy after work to pick this up yesterday and they had dozens of copies left. Seems like not that long ago if you hadn't preordered a highly-anticipated game your chances of finding a copy in-store late on release day were slim-to-none.
MJ in this one is probably one of the better April O Neil-style characters in that
I haven't actually had to save her from one of the life-threatening situations that she put herself in yet (except part of the first one but she bailed me out first so we're even). If she was like "I can take care of myself" and this was the third time I had to bail her out I'd be annoyed.
Finished the main story. Poopsocked the fuck out of this game.
Great ass game and someone that has a history of shitting on collectibles I guess they can work if you think the core gameplay loop is fantastic, which I think it is in this game.
Traversal feels so good due to the controls and animations. Splendid job by Insomniac.

Pretty loud, ya. But name one game, Pro Enhanced, were my Pro is not loud....
To think that my Pro was whisper quiet when I bought it....
I don't remember that ever really being the case with large games like this.
Oh, must have forgotten that in all the stuff that happened during that sequence.
wait what.. he walks normal too? he been in a stance since the start for me
I'm not the only one who thinks they drew heavy inspiration from Andrew Garfield, am I?
This is the perfect Peter.
John Bubniak
Yes, and I did in store pickup. I got the code immediately after pickup. Check your junk mail...it's where they always wind up for me.
try using the white spider suit power. you can easily get 3 takedowns per wave.
Yeah,
I was halfway through
the mission where Peter gets evicted
Probably cause I was in the middle of it? Seemed weird.
Good, I hope it fixes itself soon.
Yeah, he'll even walk around and wave and interact with pedestrians.
Just a skill. Gives you a free second takedown within a few seconds of a normal one.
Is there any better Spidersuit power than "Web Blossom" of the classic suit? It literally wipes an entire group on its own and gives you a full focus bar. I mean, why bother "stunning" them or run over them knocking them away, when you can straight knock em out? Am I missing something?
So I sat down with the game for about 6 hours. Futzed around with the swinging and got the hang of it (no pun intended).
It's a very good game, but if I were to guess what my issues with it are then it'll be that it's too iterative? I was never one to throw around "innovation" as a call to arms but here I feel like they could have pushed both the swinging and combat further. What's there is good, and comes together well, but I'm unsure if it's enough of a push forward.
The reasons I say this is due to all the Arkham talk. This game absolutely wears it's Arkham influence on it's sleeve, but it does the same with older Spidey games. From the PSX games and PS2 games mostly. It's a hodgepodge of both that fits well, but does nothing new. After Sunset Overdrive I hoped Insomniac would push the traversal further here, as that game still has my favorite traversal this gen, but it's not all the different from what came before.
I will give them one thing for sure, I definitely don't mind doing the usual ubi checklist bullshit here because the game is generally fun to play and those are very easy and quick to get through. But if there is one thing I do hate it's the repetitive crime missions. I can live without the same car take downs ever showing up again.
Now I'm going to play some more, unlock some abilities, and actually do some story missions (cleared the backpacks and towers completely before getting to the first Fisk hideout). Overall it's pretty good, but not what I'd call mind blowing. But I don't want to be too concrete with my assessment till I see what the game has to offer as whole.
Welp, I just broke the game. I was swinging after an escaping car and I hit a building at exactly the right angle and flew through its wall and now I'm trapped inside. Any way out of this or do I just have to checkpoint reload?
Yeah I don't like them either, haven't encountered a single fun one so far. The Black Cat stuff is also very repetitive, just Where's Waldo x12. Definitely starting to get the complaints about the side content. The side missions are the only ones that feel a bit diverse.
Main story however is a lot better. I did the mission with the cop a while ago and that was a great mix of detective work and action, best segment of the game so far.
I've played all of the Batman games and I never really had trouble with the basic enemies. Bosses were always my problem in those games. In this game, even the basic guys are a pain and I get thrashed most of the time. It's just some funny thing that happens now, but I don't feel badass at all. Takes me out of the game....
Yep to many research station missions and black cat ones.
They should have been cut in half .
