I don't even care about the Taskforce anymore. I let them chase me. I wonder how many civilians died in fires, because I didn't give a damn anymore.

 

[SpideyK]

Beenox NEEDS to do something about the hero/menace system.

At least have it change slower.

That describes my life.

I want that to be on a shirt.

Yeah, it breaks immersion for me that the guy that within the last half hour rescued three hostages from speeding vehicles, disposed of a few bombs, saved several people from burning buildings and stopped a massive shootout can somehow be considered a menace.

And significantly reduce the number of crimes happening at the same time.

And significantly reduce the number of crimes happening at the same time.

Biggest thing for me would be less bombs. It's New York city, not a warzone. Would also be fun if some car chases used the spidey sense that you see in a few missions to alert you to a wreck that's about to be caused by the chase, forcing you to stop with the speeding car and prevent casualties (I think this would be cool in general for a lot of the random crimes). If they did that though I'd want them to have more of a performance score for mini-missions rather than the simple pass/fail the game has.

Also, am I the only one that thinks it'd be fun if they had a random chance that on occasion whilst stopping a crime you could run into one of Spidey's C/D-list villains? I thought it was amusing to see the news mention a man in a grizzly costume, would be fun to have those kinds of joke villains to add some fun to the game. (extremely miffed that Rhino didn't make the game, they could've had fun with that fight)

 

[Supa]

Yeah, I liked how in Ultimate Spider-Man you could just find Boomerang or Shocker robbing some place.

The Hero/Menace system is pretty broken, there's way too much going on at once. It gets to the point where I just replay old chapters because they reset the meter and have no crime going on so that I can just swing around.

Best solution I've got is to max out the Vigilante suit, and then do a fire. The suit gives a HUGE heroic bonus, and using it during a fire gets you from level 1 to 3.

 

[SpideyK]

Yeah, I just hope they'll release a patch.

That too.

 

[Tim]

Yeah, I just hope they'll release a patch.

...

Wouldn't hold my breath on that. They never released a patch for TASM1 (I think there was 1 fixing some bugs but that was about it).

 

[the.wolf]

At least they fixed the save corruption bug. Happened to me three times before they finally released it. I learned to back up my saves the hard way.

The DLC they released wasn't great. Just lizard jumping. I never bought it.

I did it was cheap at the time

 

[the.wolf]

I bought one of the phone games and never played them. Just to unlock the last costume. I think it was the classic Raimi costume.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

Me too lol,just for the costume.

 

[Nathan]

Know how else you can tell the game is half assed? The battle damage in ASM2 doesn't even come close to this.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

Yeah,huge letdown.

 

[Nathan]

And here's a shot from the back. He looks absolutely shredded.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

Dunno who is the better game, Tasm1 i think.. better story.

 

[Tim]

They pretty much crushed all hope for patches and DLC on their twitter saying they'll only do it if Activision tells them to since they are no independant studio.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

 

[TWayneP]

I think the battle damage was a bit overdone in the first. in ASM2 there just isn't enough lol.

Well I beat this game last night, I felt like it was infinitely more playable than the first. So Id rank 2 over 1 for sure.

Im at 70% with the trophies, and Im going to collect all the comic pages, and maybe do the 5 races and I'm done with it for a very long time, if not forever.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

Yeah,i stopped a few days ago.

 

[SpideyK]

Dunno who is the better game, Tasm1 i think.. better story.

I'd say they're equally good, but for different reasons.

 

[TWayneP]

Yeah,i stopped a few days ago.

haha yea, I take my time with games. But once I beat the story it was really surprising how fast it could have been beaten. I only played a small amount per day.

This game is a pretty good rental if you like a fluff story to get through quickly, easy trophies, and collectables. Best I can say about it! The suits have great detail and Carnage... is in it. Carnage is cool. lol.

How about we get a great Spider-Man game next time. Come on!

 

[Andrew Lucas]

I finished the game one day before it released,the story sucked and i CARE about story

I'm almost finishing the comics,i like this feautere,sometimes i just play to read it.

 

[the.wolf]

Since the costumes don't transfer over, I'll play it on hero next, then on easy for the costumes and to level up all the costumes to max, and then the combat challenges and comic books.

I'm on the last level now.

I played it in super hero first, making each subsequent play through a lot easier.
