[Sad Bunny]

So uh...I need these research tokens.

I want that iron spidey suit

 

[ORDER_66]

HDR ?

So if I turn the HDR it becomes brighter??? EDIT I think I fixed it I didn't see the in game brightness menu in the options. I turned it all the way up it looks way better..

A quote from a web of shadows review

"Still, if it sounds like I'm lauding the combat, I guess this is a good enough place as any to tell you why I'm not crazy about this Spider-Man title. See, as cool as these attacks can look, they're just button mashing. When I needed to steamroll the bad guys, I just tapped X-Y-X-Y-X-Y. Sometimes it was that tendril attack I just described, and sometimes it was just Spider-Man wigging out and cleaning clocks. It didn't matter to me, because it got the job done; and there are a lot of jobs to get done."


You nikkaz are clowns

@The Mad Titan is basically a read with caution poster in any Sony exclusive threads. He'll try to be subtle with his trolling by praising one aspect of the game(Almost always the graphics or presentation) and then go on to say the gameplay is not good, not fun, simple etc. To even make himself look less like a stan, he'll randomly prop up another exclusive game to get that sympathy(in this example he'll say GOW is excellent so as to appear non biased.) Straight out of Meach's playbook.



Another quote from Gamespot review about Spider Man Web of Shadows:

"The combat system is simple and accessible enough to let you pull off gorgeous, powerful moves just by button mashing, but it has enough depth that skillful players who familiarize themselves with the countering system and the variety of attacks at Spidey's disposal will get more out of it. "

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows - WII - Review - GameZone

Difficulty: Easy
Forget learning all of the extra combos and just button mash and fling away.

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows for PlayStation 3 (2008) - MobyGames

When under attack, just mashing the X button enables Spider-Man to punch and conquer.

Basically Xbots go to troll move is to say the graphics are beautiful but the gameplay is lacking and then make dumb comparisons to unrelated games, make reductive statements about the gameplay(hand holding, lacks player agency, no depth) and then turn around and make a fairly simple game seem like it's brimming with depth e.g. "Ryse has incredibly complex and in depth combat systems at play. You must block with your shield while simultaneously fend off foes coming at you from various angles with counters and parries. X button slashes, while the Y button which must be timed will launch a barrage of strikes to end the foe. Multiple combos and weapon types with their own strength and weaknesses all married together by a brutal time sensitive execution system that demands pure focus gives joy to the most skilled player"

I like the combat more than Arkham so far. Seems less on rails/ pin ball -ish to me. A lil slower and Spidey can use the environment and air juggle as well.

I just booted up Arkham City to see if I remember it correctly and yeah the combat in Spidey is way better. It's literally on rails in Batman, just press Y or Triangle to counter and square automatically connects you to nearby enemies and it's way easier to bat. Random combos and enemies practically take turns to hit you. Nostalgia is a one helluva drug.

Geezus I dont have to look at reviews or reason on what other people said because I played the game, extensively....


The funny thing is you dudes are so bias you can't only see what you want.

I never said web of shadows was hard I said the combat in that game>>>> this one. It's almost non debatable. This game feels like a pretty version of spider man 2. The story is just ok, its not "amazing" at all sofar but I'm only 60 percent through. The only reason I bought it up is because someone said the game isn't mashy and it is especially if you play it on normal which most people do.. Web of shadows is more mashy but it also allows for WAY more combat depth, strings, and cool looking moves, flips, web attack morphs and other things. Its captures the essence of spider man in combat much better than this game. The combat in this game reminds me of how a teenage parker would fight not adult parker.




As far as trollin I'm glad I can troll enough that you think I actively hate on sony exclusives yet play them. The fact that a sony title is one of my fav this year and over all in a long time makes that even more laughable.

Most spiderman games are very similar the biggest difference being swinging and story. The combat in this game is a bit bland and repetitive the most satisfying aspect of combat for me is dodging and that shouldn't be the case.

But yeah I'm hating on spider-man and sony by saying the game is good but not great.. Maybe if you never really played another spiderman game then its "amazing" to those people.

I have been playing all morning and so far the story is just OK, but you have to do more work to have as much fun with the combat.

I don't know how people are in here telling you what you enjoy. Those kinds of people are why I stay out of the film room and arcadium. That's like somebody eating kale and saying they don't like it, and then somebody else saying "yes you do like it, you should like it and if you don't something's wrong with you".

Pompass gaming snobs.

You act as if there are a plethora of Spiderman games to play... I don't mind your assessments because they're your opinion but there really aren't many spidey games to be choosy, this game was really well made, not perfect but you can't really ask for more.

I'm sorry but that video looks garbage and people played that game and it's scores reflect it. It's a crap game. If someone says the combat is bland here than I'm willing to bet they're playing it wrong and/or are garbage at the game.

Spiderman Ps4 is way better convo over. Don't ever quote me no bullshyt again talking about it's better. shyt looks clunky as fukk.

 

[SupaHotIce]

square square hold square square square square gets you pass most of the enemies.

If you can dodge on point then yeah, its a cake walk game is pretty button mashy. I wish they did more with his dodging in combat or had more combat combo's and enemy types (I haven't finished it so there might be more)

For a 3rd person action game, Its no god of war 4. You had to know multiple combo's, weapons, block, parry dodge and some.

This game is very much mash on a button dodge mash on a button.

I'm playing it on the hardest difficulty and I do still die but the game's combat is really not that fun or great to me.


The story is pretty well done sofar and the city while big is pretty bland.


Its a solid game but I wish I wouldn't have bought it tbh.

This nikka is dying while mashing and saying it's not fun or great

Pompass gaming snobs.

Nobody is telling him shyt.

That kale analogy is dumb because no one is saying he should like anything. He's trying to insinuate anyone who's enjoying this is simply liking it because they haven't played another Spider-Man game or just like it because it's an exclusive.

Also Kale can be cooked different ways. You can make Kale less bitter and flavor it, you can't season or tweak a game. You can only enjoy what's given to you.

no it's not you dumb ass troll / ps4 cock sucker.

i don't even have an xbox and i don't give a shyt about this casual wars.

the truth of the matter is, the combat IS BUTTON MASHING like most people are claiming it to be..just because you can do cool tricks once in a mean DOES NOT MEAN IT IS NOT BUTTON MASHING. It's literally, square, square, square, dodge, square, square, square...pull off some crazy moves and repeat.

btw i hate the fact that you have to stop what you are doing to press L1+R1 at the same time to grab a weapon. it should have been much more easier/convenient than that.

The combat in Batman is 100X better than this. It is a fact, not an opinion.

First of all relax, nobody is even attacking you.

Secondly, how can you say this is button mashing but then say batman is 100x better when that game you literally just press square and magic happens? I literally just played it! You just stand there and press the counter button to counter attacks and Batman/Catwoman just does cool animations depending on what's happening. It doesn't even look real with Batman just warping fast as hell to enemies on the other side of the floor. Again, if Spidey is button mashing, what is Batman? Devil May Cry?

L1 + R1 too hard?

Now you're sounding like a god damn casual. How the fukk is pressing L1+R1 hard or inconvenient? You just said the game is button mashing but now that is too hard.

In Batman it's the SAME thing you press square and X or X and Y on Xbox. I guess it's easier for you there huh?

Hell, you can't even pull or grab random items in the world in Batman to fight with it's all automated.


This is literally nostalgia and stanning to say Spider-Man's combat isn't good but Batman's is way better when that game is a game of pressing Y to auto counter/attack enemies.

Get all the way the fukk outta here.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

So fellas. Is this game worth buying? I know it’s dope as fukk but I mean length. Have y’all beat it yet? Do you see yourself playing longer after you do?

Or is this something I can blow by in 2-3 weeks, and be better off with a GameFly rental

 

[Killer Instinct]

taking down this 1 Fisk site wit snipers got me heated

I get to this final wave and a rocket or shots always take me out

need to save up on some points and move the storyline along to get some of these gadgets & skills

Dealing with rockets and/or gunfire isn't so much dependent upon the quality of gadgets or skill list as it is your timing with the dodge. There are two abilities that allow you to yank away guns and rocket launchers which helps, but they can pick them back up. There's also the ability to web the rocket and send it to an enemy, but that's a higher level skill that's not easily attainable early on. Still, you shouldn't need any of these skills to successfully clear any Fisk Outpost, nor do you need any special gadgets. It's just a matter of getting comfortable with the combat. DO unlock the 'Payback' skill ASAP though. It lets you instantly incapacitate an enemy after perfect dodging their gunfire. That helps early on.

Nah he just casually slides across the map like its nothing

This is just pressing one button
