Man, it's great to see that you're still here pal! I'm really happy to be here and talk to you again! I'm doing well, not much has happened since we last spoke. I'm working, playing some games, watching movies and so on haha! It feels good that our Spidey is in good hands now again! Off topic, but have you played God of War? In that case, what did you think about that game? And how's your life?
Yup still here. I think I'm probably a lifer, lol. Glad to hear you're doing well. Not much different for me...just the usual, work, family, Spider-Man, watching movies etc. I have NOT played GoW yet but I plan on it this winter. I'm most likely gonna pick up RDR2 in October and then get GoW in late November--see if there's any black Friday deals. But based on reviews the game looks dope so I'm excited to play it.
It's weird how those glitches or bugs work cause you'd think it would affect everyone. We're all playing the same game with the same updates on the same console. I dunno. Weird. Btw, make sure you're ps4 has the latest update...I've heard that's partly responsible for the freezes. But, there's also a decent amount of people that it's happening to that have everything updated. But yeah, I saw a tweet from Insomniac stating they are aware of it and hopefully this next update fixes the problem.
Oh yes, for a debut Spidey game I think Insomniac has done an excellent job. The story thus far, the combat and traversal, are all fantastic. You can tell they are big fans of the character. Always room for improvement though. Arkham Asylum was a great game but even Rocksteady was able to make notable improvements from that game to city. I would expect the same here. The stealth in the first ASM game was basically a rip off from Arkham however Beenox still did a good job of it. You could do takedowns from walls or the ceiling not just perch points and you could clear an entire room with stealth if you wanted. In this game stealth is either cut short or you're forced to use it. Not really awful by any means but this is definitely an area that can benefit from more detail.
I personally love the gadget wheel in this game but yeah I do love the shortcuts in Arkham. If I remember correctly though in Arkham you had to equip the gadgets you wanted to use for each of the D-pad buttons whereas here all of the gadgets are immediately accessible. I guess there's pros and cons with each. But like several other posters on here I was running into the same issue of having the muscle memory from the Arkham games under my fingers. It took awhile to get over that learning bump. I kept hitting triangle during this game trying to counter lol.
Imo, so far, Insomniac has created a winner. And I'm happy to see that the game is selling like crazy...that should ensure continued support for the sequel.
I'm taking my time with the game for sure but the more I complete the more I'm anxious to see where this all goes.
Last night I completed the remaining challenges left on my map and I got gold across the board. After reading several of the posts on here before undertaking them I was worried cause they sounded near impossible. But imo they actually weren't that bad. The drones were imo the most difficult but once you memorized the path it was doable to get gold. The bomb ones were probably the toughest to get the time bonus. They left absolutely no room for error but again once you found the right path, it was doable.
. In a month from now the DLC should drop to add more thrills. Great job none the less.
