I'm still not convinced,that the arkham combat system is best way to handle combat in a Spider Man game. Maybe it just me,but I think it should focus more on doding and agility. I also think the Spider-Sense should be a part of the combat system. The crime think doesn't sound too bad on paper,but the execution is horrible. Unless they are trying to make a point about how hard the life of a Superhero is,but give the games writing I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
@Darklordjadow110 жыл бұрын
I agree with everything you said. Batman's combat system revolves around strategic thinking and gadgets or etcetera techniques to handle special threats- that's what Batman does. Spider-Man only needs to do that against super villains because he can toast goons with ease. I think the combat system of Web of Shadows worked pretty well; it was just a basic combat system with a bunch of aerial attacks and wall attacks thrown in. The crimes were a nice idea because lack of variety in side missions is the primary problem that's plagued the Spider-Man series. But I think Yahtzee hit the nail on the head: you shouldn't be FORCED to do them, let alone so frequently.
@ryanhutchinson44678 жыл бұрын
I've played this game quite a bit and I agree with a lot of the stuff that you said. It's so annoying if multiple crimes go critical at the same time. If 2 or 3 are about to expire, you only have enough time to stop one of them, if that. Plus after completing certain parts of the game my hero status is automatically set to menace level one or two. What the heck? I know it's not because some of the crimes expired at the time because it happens the instant I finish the mission I was on and the hero meter drops so fast that it would take like 6 or 7 expired missions to go down by that much.

I noticed you didn't mention some of Beenox's earlier Spider-Man games Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time. Have you played them, and if you did, what did you think of them?
@Darklordjadow19 жыл бұрын
I played Shattered Dimensions. I think that game is really only good for one 100% run; the game's writing and visuals are great and very entertaining, but the combat is very simple and monotonous. I played the game to 100% completion and the combat is so repetitive that I haven't been able to bring myself to finish another full playthrough since. I really don't find there's much distinction gameplay-wise between Amazing, Ultimate, and 2099 Spider-Men outside of Ultimate's rage mode, which makes for satisfying smash-everything-in-sight mosh pits. The voice acting and visuals is the only major distinction between those three. I try telling myself that Amazing Spider-Man has more ranged attacks and 2099 Spider-Man is more agile, but I play the exact same way regardless of the character. I like Spider-Man Noir's levels and they're decent gameplay-wise, but the AI is a little too quick to go back to its old patrol pattern after you shake them. That AI quirk makes the stealth levels much easier. I really like the Hobgoblin, Deadpool, Scorpion, Goblin, and Sandman levels, and the Doc Ock 2099 level really gets on my nerves. My fondness for the 2099 levels is largely due to the scenery; I just eat it up... maybe it reminds me of Batman Beyond. I have not played Edge of Time, but it's at the library when I feel like giving it a whirl. I get the feeling it's the same gameplay (which is why I skipped it) but I hear that the story is quite interesting

i really enjoyed the first amazing spiderman game. i actually think the webslining is the best in any spiderman game. the second game only improved stealth but that's it. the combat is not as fun since signature moves always require 12 combos whereas the previous game required 6 once upgraded fully. the swinging is more realistic but not nearly as fast. plus gaining height is way harder. i don't care about realism if it screws with gameplay. the web rush mode is completely bothced in the second game. in the first game when you web rushed in the city, there was a certain fluidity to the whole thing. in this game it feels clunky and the reach of the webrush is way shorter. it makes navigation more of a chore. in the first game i could literally spend an hour just swinging around the city for fun. in this one i only do it to get to objectives

I didn't hate the game, but the game is- if you don't mind me saying and in my most humble opinion- VASTLY inferior to its predecessors (except maybe the first Amazing Spider-Man), has a dull story, and is also vastly inferior to the game that it is very blatantly ripping off (Batman). Because of these things, it doesn't have much to offer or much reason to buy it when we could just play those predecessors again and have a much better time doing so. Not to mention the sole innovation from its predecessors- the Petty Crime system- is implemented so poorly that it seems custom made to get on your nerves. But I'm glad that somebody really likes it.

@Darklordjadow19 жыл бұрын
I enjoy it, but a lot of people find it repetitive. The story- in my opinion- is very good. It's a slow build-up to the symbiote invasion and the city devolves into chaos so quickly; it's like controlling a superhero in the middle of a zombie apocalypse that you can't save everyone; all you can do is desperately try to save everyone you can. I find the story and atmosphere immersive, even if Spider-Man's voice actor is... annoying. The combat is excellent- you're not tied down to using combos; Spider-Man does attack in combos, but there's no delay between them, so you can go from attack to attack to attack very fluidly and fight on walls and in the air with no interruptions. I find it thrilling. Plus the web swinging is still fun as always. The game has some balancing issues; late in the game you unlock a massive tentacle attack with the Black Suit that just obliterates everything around you and that's all you'll use in combat. The bosses are epic in scale but most of them boil down to using the web strike over and over to kill them. The game has four endings depending on your black and red suit alignment, but the ending you get is determined by the story choices you make, not how much you use one suit over another. I would've preferred more integration between story and gameplay there. Also the game does not have any side-quests aside from going out and fighting more enemies- since enemies infest the overworld outside of story missions too.
