The DF video looks fucking bonkers. Where are the naysayers now? The game looks astonishing

A repeat of the first game allover again.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

If you mean the one showing his daily routine of sandpapering his scrotum then I think we’ve seen enough !

Nah, the review one!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Ugh.....someone jumped in a bit early....

Ugh, these fanboy accounts are so fucking annoying (from both sides).

 

[Stafford]

Incredibly pleased with all these options the Insomniac devs gave us here.

Additional options for VRR? Wow. And 40fps mode, this type of stuff I wish way more devs would offer. Way more.

 

[FingerBang]

Sunset Overdrive is brilliant too imo

Tell me about it. I bought an Xbox One VCR to play it!

 

[BaneIsPain]

Another banger for Insomniac. Well done
Looking forward to plat this.

Ugh.....someone jumped in a bit early....

How is this even mathematically possible? 83 with 41 reviews, but now 91 with over 100? Was every one of those first 40 reviews negative compared to the last 60?

edit: oh its the damn movie score lol

I'm gonna try so hard to wait until I play before looking at that video.

Crows going extinct in ....3....2....1......

 

[Banjo64]

Legit shocked at the 91/92.

Was full expecting an 85-88, Insomniac’s standard range.

Hope this game has seen significant updates to gameplay or it’ll still be a good 8/10 for me.

Ass of Can Whooping - it’s a sad day for you brother, there will be no need for cum today.

Has to be fake, it had over 50(?) reviews with a 92 rating 1 minute before reviews were out.

 

[Balducci30]

The df video sold me. I mean I was gonna buy anyway - but that made me much more confident

EDIT: also I’m seeing queens but is Brooklyn also repped here? I wanna visit my apartment

Metacritic uses a secret weighting system.

Shame because it's become a staple in my diet

The reviews said it best — it's an absolute refinement of an already stellar formula. The uptick in score makes pefect sense!

This is how it should go and that deserves to be richly rewarded (and it will be).

 

[sinnergy]

Amazing reviews insomniac! Well deserved!

 

[jroc74]

edit: oh its literally the movie score lol

I could tell it was off/fake because it was never under 90 when reviews went live.

Ugh, these fanboy accounts are so fucking annoying (from both sides).

Yup.

Somebody check on Colt

Not gonna lie, I thought so too.

 

[BbMajor7th]

Where's that Colt Eastwood tweet? Y'all know the one

"I'm sure Spider-Man 2 will be a great 6-8 hour campaign, but I'll be spending hundreds of hours filling a cabin with potatoes in Starfied."

 

[Crispy Gamer]

I love how Insomniac actually care about high end tvs and to see them expand upon that is awesome we should demand other developers to do the same because at this point of the generation 40 fps should've been a standard option

 

[NickFire]

Somebody check on Colt

He's probably too busy playing those old COD campaigns to care about a game like this.

He was trying to troll the game and ended up trolling himself. lol

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

it's the Spiderman 2 movie score

 

[ComputerBlue]

Those are some amazing scores, expected but still. I was going to hold off since I don’t really like buying new releases anymore but I don’t know if I’ll be able to withstand the pressure of the hype…

 

[Thirty7ven]

“The game isn’t about transgenders rights in rural America? What’s even the point of shooting spider webs”

[ByWatterson]

I'm expecting a lowish review from Polygon. This is their current in progress review on Metacritic:

"There are hints of greater thematic aspirations within Spider-Man 2. Questions about mass incarceration, recidivism, and reintegration into society for formerly incarcerated people; worries about the surveillance state and what we give up when we engage with modern technology. These things appear, however fleetingly, in Spider-Man 2, but there isn’t enough time to elaborate on any single one...

Jesus CHRIST.

Someone get this guy some booze and basketball games, stat!

 

[Zombie9ers]

Just had a bunch more perfect 100's added to Metacritic

 

[TrebleShot]

Never in doubt GOTY

 

[Heisenberg007]

Holding well and truly steady now.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Somebody check on Colt

Just send him that picture and tell him that's what Spidey did to his Starfield prediction!

 

[Mownoc]

I wasn't sure they would beat the 90 mark. Thought it would be an 88/89 but looks like it's over.

 

[Kurotri]

This studio and Spiderman are just made for each other.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Riky

RIKKYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[ProtoByte]

God damn. My gaming tastes are pretty similar to Tim's, so this makes me really excited.

Gettys is a hype man.

 

[Ozriel]

Happy for Insomniac. One of the best studios in the game at the moment, and I’m glad they were able to break the 90% mark after so long. Tough critics out there, but quality will always shine through

 

[Carmen Winstead]

Lmao to the people who cannot cope with this game being good and having to compare it to Shitfield.
GAME OF THE YEAR BABY WOOOOHOOO!

That's Spider Man 2 movie score, not the game...

Spider-Man 2

In the second installment in the Spider-Man series, based on the classic Marvel Comics hero, Tobey Maguire returns as the mild-mannered Peter Parker, who is juggling the delicate balance of his dual life as a college student and a superhuman crime fighter. The entertaining adventure escalates...

First?

Holy trinity this year: TotK, Balder’s Gate and Spider-Man. Well played to the devs for these awesome games!

Honorary shout out to Hogwart’s Legacy!

Good publishers help improve studios after all

 

[X-Wing]

Best looking game ever. Also, just imagine fucking Wolverine!

 

[analog_future]

Gettys is a hype man.

Nothing wrong with that.

There's plenty of games he hasn't jived with and hasn't been afraid to say so as well.

 

[EverydayBeast]

10/10 scores aren’t a sure thing, Spider-Man 2 seems short of that and why? It’s one thing to penalize a game but people are opposed to 10/10 scores for games that deserve it and Spider-Man 2 does.

 

[DenchDeckard]

You' re trying too hard (cit)

My love for insomniac is boundless!

 

[skit_data]

Ok, 91 after 115 reviews. That score ain't dropping below 90 now, that's for sure.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

He's probably too busy playing those old COD campaigns to care about a game like this.

I mean, it's almost a whole 10 points higher. The craziest thing is the consensus among reviewers here.

The lack of a single 70 up to this point is staggering.

Exactly. Not even a single critic that doesn't recommend playing Spider-Man 2. 100% of them recommend it.

These fanboys can't stop taking Ls


Congrats to Insomniac. I knew they would deliver and they delivered in a big way.

No one can say now that they aren't one of the best developers in the world.

Importantly though this isn’t a divisive game

It’s not getting as many 10s, but it’s universally getting 90-95 with hardly anything below a 9

That’s a lot more exciting to me than getting more perfect scores. There’s almost nothing to complain about here
