How do you like them webs?

Not gonna lie. Webswinging is great.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

I mean, yeah, it sounds great, but (no offense) it's not going to do jack-****. They only have so much money and time to make these games and complete reworkings of their engine is just too much. Plus, on that last point, they have no choice. They don't have the rights to comic-based Spider-Man stories anymore. The only things Beenox can do are movie tie-ins.

I didn't know they lost the rights to comic-based stories, is that confirmed or just a rumor?

but anyway, you're probably right. I guess I could say I'm an eternal optimist, I believe that they can still turn this thing around to something worth all the wait

on the bright side they did answer back which at least means that someone, whomever it may be, bothered to read the message

 

[TheWallCrawler]

Not gonna lie. Webswinging is great.

really? I thought it was clunky and visually hideous

it still works on a pre-programmed pendulum course, and the momentum is beyond inorganic. we should feel the speed and agility of Spider-man, but we got this webswinging system that feels more like work and even swinging 100% successfully doesn't reward it

It's a step up from TASM1 but it's still nothing special compared to Spider-man 2 and 3 and Ultimate Spider-man.

For god sake let me hold onto the web. It makes me feel like I'm not in full control of the web swinging!

Yeah, Activision lost the comic rights to Disney a few months ago. They only have the movie rights now. That's why Spider-Man is going to show up in Disney Infinity's Marvel expansion.

 

[Nathan]

I'm really looking forward to Disney Infinity. I'll probably just treat it as a Disneyfied Ultimate Alliance game.

 

[Spider-knight]

so since activison lost the writes which studio do yu want to work on the wall crawler? and since marvel made their own film studios and got their video game rights back do you guys think they'll make their own video game studio?

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

So Aunt May suggests Peter talk to Harry after his father died.

Couple Kraven missions later.

So Peter and Harry first meet for the first time in years and the questions that pop up are related to Fisk and the task force.

The ****?

 

[BrollySupersj]

So, been playing for few days. It's OK, not the best, idk if my memory is a little twisted, but I think the first ASM game was a put together a little better. The story is pretty wishwashy as well. But that comes with the territory of tie in games. The Spider-Man costumes look great though. Love all the detail.

 

[SpideyK]

I actually think most of the costumes look kinda... Naaah... Meh.

They looked way better in the first game.

 

[Nathan]

The first game was put together a lot better. Gameplay, Levels, Missions, Story, it all meshed together a lot better and was more polished.

 

[BrollySupersj]

The way they put Max Dillions transformation into audio logs was...lazy, to me.

 

[The Caped Knight]

I'm really looking forward to Disney Infinity. I'll probably just treat it as a Disneyfied Ultimate Alliance game.

agreed

And Gwen.

 

[kbrooksgohan]

I really like the russian hideouts! I like seeing what stealth animation I get. I just there were more cool combat animations.

 

[Dominikkus]

I just save a civilian who was trapped under 2 train cars.

How?

Super hero powers.

 

[Dominikkus]

I dig the Russian stealth missions too. I loved unlocking the suits, gave me a feeling of accomplishment each time

 

[Dominikkus]

And Gwen.

Gwen did make the game a little bit better. I was disappointed to see that she wasn't in this one at all. I kept waiting and keeping my hopes up to no avail.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Super hero powers.

No how did he get trapped?

 

[Andrew Lucas]

Yes! Me too.. Screw Beenox..

 

[Andrew Lucas]

No how did he get trapped?

The guy is blind.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I just save a civilian who was trapped under 2 train cars.

How?

By pulling the train cars over him, ignoring the weight will kill the victim
And then you take that one to the hospital

These "save a civilian" quests are stupid, one with broken legs walk like tired
Hey, that guy stood fine on a sinking ship and not having sea sickness, take him to a hospital and see him walk dizzily

So Aunt May suggests Peter talk to Harry after his father died.

The ****?

Business comes first, yo

 

[Spider-Aziz]

No how did he get trapped?

The same way you save him of course (read it in Nolan North's Deadpool voice)

 

[TH29]

Just beat Carnage. My thoughts.

Pros:
Swinging improved, more fun and cinematic, with a bit more control given. If you really get used to it, free roaming can be pretty fun.

The City is better. Looks much better and larger, more like NYC, still not great and nowhere near GTAIV quality that we would all love, but a definite improvement. Also like that we have a much better Oscorp tower in this one.

The Costumes are great...mostly. I really dont like the symbiote and how blue it shows up, it doesnt work, also the Superior costume colors are off. I love the 2099 costume so much though.

Cons:
Everything else.

Swinging while much more fun, also is annoying that you cannot shoot opposite hand web until you let go of the other.

The story is not that terrible when the game starts, but once you defeat kingpin there is no point to anything that happens.

The combat is horrendous. I felt the combat in the last game was definitely better and had way more options, Whatever happened to the web and swing attack, when you could web up one guy and swing him around hitting the others. Also the villains and enemies are all WAY too strong, i should be having a hard time fighting normal humans. Its just too much and makes the game unfun when im taking heavy damage from three human enemies attacking me.

Level design sucks in this game and is practically non existent, they give us a larger open world and nothing to do with it as far as the main game is concerned, why not create some missions that take place in the outdoor city (aside from the electro and goblin stuff) and make it more interesting.

While I really do enjoy swinging around the free roam, I just find everything else in the game a real chore. I imagine there is no way once you beat it to select time of day either which really is BS, its like they really do go out of their way to make everything that should be fun, not fun.

 

[The Slang]

Basically we've waited years for the swinging to slowly get back to being as good as it was in Web of Shadows. Graphics are better though.
