I agree a game can be 10/10 as the scale is much smaller even though it still means a perfect score.

If you don't choose a ridiculously low score that was obviously not going to happen, do you even have a sense of humour?

I was pretty sure there would be an improvement. One of the great ironies of the puddlgate thing was that the before/after pictures being compared showed pretty obvious improvements.

They've been waiting for Spiderman 2 reviews to come out, for some Starfield revenge posts.

His point was that you have a negative outlook of the game (that's what he took from your ridiculous prediction and then subsequent post in here). You're now saying it was a joke, which I dig. You just can't expect people to be mind readers, especially when your first post is saying that only a handful of games are perfect, which isn't true. No game is perfect.
Point is, if your first post about the game is relatively negative, and you had a low prediction (albeit, very very low — to an impossible low ), then that's all people saw. If they misunderstood you, cool beans!

I'm not ignoring it, hell, it might even strengthen my point. A metric fuckton of people played The Last of Us Part I. Some bought it new, some got it bundled, some bought it used and some pirated it (which probably makes it so that much more than 27 million people played it), and one fact remains: it was universally loved. It was a surprise hit for both Naughty Dog and Sony. It became a cultural phenomenon, it hit the zeitgest. I can't remember the last time besides TLOU where a game had as much discussion about it and in such a meaningful way. Sometimes nowadays threads STILL pop up talking about the goddamn ending - that's how much impact the game had. The recent HBO series confirms it has mass appeal with nerds, normies, everyone.
Fast forward to 2020. Hype is absolutely through the roof, marketing is going crazy, everyone can't wait to see the continuation of Joel and Ellie's story. TLOU 2 is at that point the most expensive Sony game ever, with massive expectations behind it. A sequel to such a massive game and now established franchise is supposed to have better results, to be more successful. The game comes out, sells 4 million copies in the first 3 days out of the gate (surely mostly pre-orders fueled by the hype) and then...nothing. Radio silence, while they massively discount TLOU 2 and keep updating sales from every other game besides it. Two years later and they finally come out with the 10 million copies sold, which is the same as...fucking Ghost of Tsushima? Again, don't misunderstand me, GoT is a very good game, but COME ON now. The 2 developers and games are not even in the same ballpark when it comes to expectations. So yeah, that's why I cannot call TLOU 2 a success. The only thing it succeeded at was fracturing the fanbase.

Insomniac devs are taken care of really well too. They get profit sharing from what I understand. So them using Spiderman and selling like 30M I'm sure keeps them all happy lol

This is much more spoilery than the DF video imo. DF doesn't show more than what Insomniac has released.

But are there any other video reviews that dont spoil much (Skill Up, etc?)

I’ve been replaying Witcher 3, and decided to buy Cyberpunk 2077… what should I expect? I’ll be playing on PS5.
I’ll probably start CP2077 after Spider-Man 2 though…

Ratchet & Clank was 2016, and then there's Spider-Man Miles Morales in 2020. Also, why does it matter that they have more than one team? It's still Insomniac as a whole.

Played Cyberpunk for the first time just the past couple weeks. It is the best gaming experience I have had the past few years. It has the world building/depth of a game like RDR2 alongside deep rpg mechanics. Gameplay is so much better than I ever imagined as well. Outside of 7-8 crashes on the PS5, I have encountered few bugs. Just a really unique gaming experience

For the game itself. Its gone far up to one of my favorite games of all time. Interesting world, lore, story and characters and the gameplay is fairly fun too. Lots of builds to play with and story choices to make. Definately would put the time away from others as it's quite long and not worth starting rn given that SM2 is out in a few days.
If you haven't played the base game yet... you're in for a treat. It was an amazing game when it launched (but with a rocky start, esp on consoles), now even better with the latest patches and DLC. Only played on PC so can't give any insight on how it runs or plays on PS5 but I'd assume it runs well with only visual fidelity and performance seperating it from that.

Right? There are studios just as big, if not bigger, who don't put out games at this rate while also maintaining quality.

Wait, MJ stealth missions are back!? Why, for f’s sake? Why the f are these stupid Stealth missions needed?
Meh, I hate these Stealth missions, for Peter and Miles as well. Sigh, they just sucks. Will wait for a sale now. I know this may sound stupid but it completely ruined the flow in the first game.

I just love Witcher 3, so I’m buying CP2077 based on the fact that it’s from cdpr.
Thank you. I don’t think I’ll be playing the expansion yet; maybe when it’s cheaper or if I really like the game.
It can’t be better than Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine?
Sorry for derailing the thread. Can’t wait for Spider-Man

I just tried to state 100 / 100 is stupid, I wrote the game looks amazing and I will buy it as I did with the first game.
I definitely know this isn't a perfect game without even playing it.
I also expected it to get 8s and 9s and maybe between 90 and 100.
Cold beans ftw.

Didn't know Insomniac was once xtreme Software...glad that they renamed themself because " Xtreme" is absolutely obnoxious...Still very much prefer their first logo as Imsomniac to any thing that followed...Huh, good eye. Lawsuit incoming!

They aren’t needed this time or any time. It’s ridiculous, game is called Spider-Man 2, it MJ’s mundane adventures with a taser.
I hate when games do that shit, basically take away your character, lower, etc and force the stealth missions. Totally ruined my anticipation for the game. Oh well, it’s what it is. Will grab it used down the road.

My only complaint. I bet if you got a room of girls and asked them if Peter and Miles are hot you'd get a lot of yes, I'd bang....
Ask a room of dude about MJ and .........
Why do studios keep doing this? The game looks incredible and it's not like it's really a big deal but, I just don't get why this is happening and for how long?

She looks like clark's mom from smallville ;P Allmost all big AAA western studios make female character not sexy, sony is in that team too(one exception was detroit become human, maybe coz it was android so they got green light to not use her as ugly-agenda example but she was sexy af

Hope the 40hz mode feels good to me, I just can't do 30 for this game but I want sll the bells and whistles.

Perceived hypocrisy? The same mechanic in two games in two different genres can obviously completely change of value ( nobody would welcome the introduction of a double jump in GT, for example). And I' m pretty sure you can also use the normal traversal mechanics to reach your next destination in Spiderman 2, if this is what you prefer ...It's not, but the gameplay mechanic is.
Since I posted that "hot take" I've since purchased the game
Am I not allowed to point out the percieved hypocrisy?

lol what you mean demo was probably an older build? Like you really think they just decided to add raytracing and improved graphics in the last 6 months because people on the internet complained??
Also its crazy how some of yall think sony would allow any of their AAA devs to ship a game with anything less than top notch graphics.

I was pretty unimpressed after the state of play demo showing. But now I am starting to get hyped again!

Many “Whelps”! Handle It!
A large part of the game was already stealth - as that's part of Spidey's whole repertoire - and being stealthy with Spider-Man was really fun, fast, and dynamic. Then all of the sudden we're hit with these sluggish instant-fail stealth segments that felt of out place.
That said, while I didn't like how they were executed gameplay wise, I like them more than dislike them for the way they could break up the pacing a little and take their time to tell some story.
