How are you narrowing this down to Sony games only?My problem with Sony games are the damn cost. This is like 50 pounds everywhere. Pffff I'll just wait a bit.

Spider-Man |OT| - Sticky White Stuff
Pros: world building, story, main quest, boss fights, web swing, combat, suits.(story and boss fights seems to be amazing)So what are some common pros and cons in reviews that come up?
Dunno about you guys but my thoughts on this now are "Play it but not day 1"
Pros: Beautiful, Web Slinging, Gameplay is fun, Story ends in a satisfying way?So what are some common pros and cons in reviews that come up?
I hate to say it...I wouldn't go that far, even last year which was stellar had two sub-90s pick up GOTYs in NieR and Horizon.
This year has less candidates, only God of War and MHW so far. Well hopefully the weird barrier that stops indies from getting GOTY will break and maybe Celeste will be up there too. Smash won't be a factor because it's releasing too late. Maybe Octopath? The genre doesn't really resonate with people these days as much as it used to.
My prediction for the game awards nominees is this
- God of War
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Monster Hunter World
- Spider-Man
- Celeste
Off topic, but this is why I don't like comparing review scores. We'd live in a world where A Crack In Time was only as good as Resistance 2. And that can't be right.
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.
Also isnt Fornite still technically in beta?
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
Do side quests have other villains in them or are they all random thug missions?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.
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)
Based on what?I disagree but this isn't the place for that discussion anyway.
I saw people claming that yes, some side activities have villains but they are few.Do side quests have other villains in them or are they all random thug missions?
Probably saving some good villains for the sequel so there's that.I saw people claming that yes, some side activities have villains but they are few.
The true best Spidey game up until this point. :)This is the highest rated Spider-Man game since "Spider-Man" on the PS1, which also has an 87 on Metacritic.
Yeah, im almost bribing a employee of a bookstore here that already has the game to get it early for me.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...

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 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.
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.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?

Friday is the only release day that makes sense. Tuesday was always just you crazy YanksWhy is this game being released on a Friday instead of a Tuesday?

100 - IIII
95+ - IIIIIIIIII
90+ - IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
85+ - IIIIIIIIIIIIII
80+ - IIIIIIIIIIIII
70+ - IIII
60+ - I
Man, critics hate this game. What a complete failure.
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.People are way too hung up on the score. Go in and have some fun with the best Spiderman game ever
http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/09/04/marvels-spider-man-ps4-reviewI wanted Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 to make me feel like Spider-Man: To sail between the highrises of New York City, to nimbly web up hordes of enemies, and tussle with familiar, animal-themed villains. Insomniac Games' first foray into the world of Marvel handily delivers on all of that. But what I didn't expect from Spider-Man was to come away feeling just as fulfilled to have inhabited the life of Peter Parker. Aside from a few odd pacing issues, which momentarily took me out of the experience of being a superhero, and a world of optional missions that don't always quite live up to the heft of the main story, Insomniac has delivered a Spider-Man story that both surprised and delighted me, coupled with gameplay that made me feel like Spider-Man nearly every step of the way. The Wall Crawler's open world doesn't consistently deliver the thrilling moments of its main campaign, but the foundation laid here is undoubtedly a spectacular one.
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.

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.

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.Doesn't even crack their top 5:
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal - 91
Spyro: Year of the Dragon - 91
Ratchet & Clank: going Commando - 90
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - 89
Ratchet & Clank - 88
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time - 87
Marvel's Spider-man - 87
Resistance 2 - 87
