The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Video Game Thread - Part 7

I'm enjoying this game so far, but I do think the story in the first one was better.

Waaay better.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

****ing sick of the Bugle news reports after every little deed I do

Absolutely

Aunt May's character model looks like ****

I don't like her voice either

Why give me things to ask people? Why not include them in cutscenes?

It worked first time with Herman
Maybe if you want to hear the answer to one question before the rest

 

[LizardMan07]

Who thought the bugle news reports were a good idea?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Beenox, apparently

 

[Voices]

Who thought the bugle news reports were a good idea?

They could have been cool if they only occurred once out of every ten crimes you stop or so. And if they had recorded far more dialogue for each event. Is it really that hard to have the actors ad lib for a while so that there's a decent variety in the reports? I guess every single person I saved said "I don't know what would have happened" if I hadn't saved them.

 

[LizardMan07]

Honestly, game would have flowed so much better if they just ditched the cutscenes.

Just get random people in to mutter things, surely there's crazies out there that'd be a civilian in a spidey game for free even? Stilted dialogue.

Honestly, the webswinging is pretty fun, but the city is bland and it just isn't fun. I'd suggest people don't throw money at this too willingly

Angry Joe's review. Couldn't agree more with him. (Except that he said the web swinging is the best yet, it's not, Spider-man 2/Ultimate Spider-man and Spider-man 3 are still the best)

Edit: I have to remove the video due to swearing.

<snip>

I fully agree with everything he said, especially the story parts (Gwen missing is a big no for me).

I like the swinging more than the one found in older titles, mainly because it looks more cinematic with better/smoother animations (now if there only were more animations to go along with the swinging mechanic and proper physics based swinging...). I'd totally be down for a sequel where all they add is more bulletproof anchor points and dual web-swinging (swing with RT/R2? Press LT/L2 to shoot another webline, holding onto 2 weblines), even though I would love to see proper physics based swinging. But if it means more time invested in adding other content (more side-missions, more variety, more city life) I'll totally accept the same swinging again.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Never thought I'd see Angry Joe review a Spider-Man game
I searched Spider-Man on his site, and his youtube channel before, no video of Spider-Man there

So OsCorp is under attack. Peter says Gwen is there and goes for her. We never see Gwen. What the hell? Then a press conference between Harry & Kingpin and we hear nothing about the recent OsCorp attacks.

I will say though, love the design for the Shocker.

Well he also said that she shouldn't be there at the time of the attack because it's too late (she is an intern after all, she has nothing to do there at night).

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I agree with Joe, stats at costumes really are pointless
And the rings in races here do remind me of Superman 64, more than any other game

That is one reason I don't try to pay attention to stories in games, there is too much material

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

It wasn't night. It was evening and the sun was out. Between 4-6 I would say.

 

[Tim]

Yes but Aunt May or Peter mention that she shouldn't be at Oscorp around this time. So it's safe to say we didn't meet her because she had already left the building. Peter went there and investigated the incident anyways (to make sure shes not there and because he is Spider-Man).

Is anyones game not taking up the full TV screen? Really pissing me the **** off. I can play COD, Gears of War, Madden, Batman, and others and they take up the full screen but TASM2 doesn't.

Its Full Screen for me.

I dislike the game. But I also love it.

How do you dislike something and love it at the same time?

 

[Tim]

He probably loves it for being a Spider-Man game where you can freeroam with decent swinging mechanics and hates it for being unpolished with mostly bad mechanics and a lame story.

 

[SpideyK]

Kinda the same for me.

I like the game because it's a Spider-Man game, but it's also probably THE worst PC optimized game I've ever played.

This 100%.

I'm a sucker for anything Spider-Man.

 

[Spidey_62]

The more I play it, the more I don't enjoy it. Probably going to put it away, oh well. I really did like the first TASM game from Beenox, this one just feels half-baked.

Dem loading screens, oh god, dem loading screens...

Notably shorter than they are in the previous game, but they are still long lasting

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

I know once I beat it, I'm selling it back. **** game.
