That was always fun with Miles Morales, trying to clear a base with stealth.

Ok. If being in a loving marriage with clear communication is whipped, then I’ll accept the gif of Pat’s character in King of Queens saying I’m whipped.

Yeah the stealth sections and picking off guys one by one I’m finding super satisfying.

Can you give more details in spoiler tag? Is it like cool mysteries that require brain power, observation, exploration and investigation? Think murder mysteries from AC Unity?

When anyone criticizes the game.
Well depends if they only focus on the negative points to say its a bad game. It helps if people talk about both the positive and the negatives.

Haven't really heard from anyone that the game is unplayable without the patch. I guess he means the patch adds plenty of improvements.

Well it's not like it went from broken to playable with the Day 1 patch. Which is what my experience with Morrowind was. Without the patch the game would crash after leaving the Census office.
But I understand where your going with this.

What a sad fucking life you live to care so much if Felicia is bissexual, or you have some gay couple in a sidequest
Man, who fucking cares? I'm much more bothered by the poorly designed sidequests and tutorials, for example
Game can look great sometimes. The draw distance is nuts, and the lighting is really great. No pop in at all, which is impressive. But character models are really, really bad, with really awful skin shaders and bad facial animations. They look last gen by a lot.
The visuals are really inconsistent, looking awesome in some aspects and very last gen at others.
Mission design and pacing have been not great so far. Great boss fight at the start, but then the game presents you with so many tutorials, all at once. That school section was boring af.
Combat is ok, but I still think its a poor's man Arkham. There's more enemy variety now, enemies that you have to counter at the right time to dodge and etc., but you can just hold square to open their block and finish them off all the same.
Hopefuly the game will improve its mission design as I play more of it

So far every character in this game is a downgrade compared to previous games in terms of design.

Ive been playing this game with a huge smile on my face all day. Insomniac games are always a blast to play!
Loving the experience so far. Doing side missions and suddenly you’re fighting side to side with the other spider man is awesome btw!

True. Was doing a gang activity and a yellow flash just appears out of nowhere. I was like "wtf is that" and turns out it was Miles helping me out.
I'm finding combat harder than in previous games, but I don't mind to be honest.

Just on visuals:
The noon time of day really makes the NPC’s look like crap in certain spots…kinda like in Jedi:Survivor, where despite having RT GI and shadows and being fairly accurate lighting-wise it just looked like crap visually right around the same time of day on the main planet...There’s a reason why film crews still need lighting guys even in broad daylight.
Some of the reconstruction artifacts can rear their head too; Like it having a hard time with things just coming into view with high contrast, usually at night with reflections. Basically: high contrast + high speed/change = artifacts.
Only other thing is some minor quick close up shots have what seems almost like mini-heatwave effect that’s kinda jittery….but I kinda remember the same thing from the previous games too (but I don’t think that’s from reconstruction).

Yeah, that's what happens when you re-use the same map for the 3rd time. Pure wizardry.

Imagine not playing the best PS5 game of the year over something so minor and stupid.Wait they made Black Cat bisexual now? "My girlfriend is in Paris?"?
Not the type of character I expected them to pull this off.

What caused you to be this salty about people calling Insomniac wizard haha. I’ve seen you mumbling about this every since the embargo lifted.

What embargo? You mean since I got my hands on the game, played it (I'm playing it right now) and got disappointed with graphics and same old, tired game design?

You have been mocking the “wizardy” word ever since the review dropped lmao. But of course you were only doing that in your own graphics bubble hivemind thread until now. Is your favorite developer not being called wizards makes you sad sad? Oh! Elaborate the old tired game design. I’m surprised you graphics obsessed even have standards for game design, you people literally hold dear a demo with nothing in it, talking about game design eh.

I’m 5 hours in and I’m honestly a bit surprised at how in-your-face and consistent the liberal pandering is. I’m not even saying that’s a bad thing, but the game is very political, much moreso than the first one.
What is bad about clearly ideological storytelling though is that it becomes very predictable and treads ground that has already been covered by the ideology. Hopefully that doesn’t play out and I get more invested with the story.
