I'm a special education teacher, and I can say with confidence that this statement is objectively false.

Why in the hell does my special edition still say it's "preparing to ship" when the game is out in two days?
.....I got a bad feeling that my order is either canceled or delayed and they're not telling me. Considering it still hasn't shipped, I say I got a zero percent chance of playing on release day
.
Those 19 inches better be worth it.

What a year. 2 absolute must-have bangers just casually releasing on the same day.

Yeah, better buy digital with zero discount and you can't even sell the game after finishing it.

Lol like what? Getting the game day one? Are you aware that physical shops exist and you can get your game day one like you do with digital, right?
If people care about being lazy fucks to not move their ass to go into the shop maybe they should not call other people retards, but that's just me...
Amazon is AN option, not the the only one for physical games.

Hate to say it but 36 for a Mario on Famitsu is actually not a good score.

36/40 translates to 9/10. Seems like a good score to me.

You know, people might just have the money to buy 60-70EUR stuff just the way they see appropriate.
For me, convenience of a full digital library is priceless. Others might have other reasons.

Still not a good reason to call people retards when both approaches have their pro and cons.
Skitso

Yeah, calling anyone a retard on the basis of their buying habits is not cool, naturally.

You might wanna spoiler tag that video. The thumbnail spoils a boss that not everyone knows he is around in the game.

So I decided to play the beginning of the game unpatched, because I was curious what needed polishing. It was mostly fine but there were many smaller graphical glitches, like shadows and alpha effects behaving weird. Also seemed to have slightly worse anti-aliasing.
There was one particular thing that looked horrible in the unpatched version: Kraven's mane. It looks significantly better in the patched version.
Anyway, after patching I began playing around with both Fidelity and Performance mode. I decided on Fidelity, because Performance shadows just aren't up to snuff IMO. I think most people wouldn't notice but I definitely did notice missing pedestrian shadows when you're above street level (maybe a bug?) and generally lower quality shadows. I say it might be a bug because shadows seem to only appear for pedestrians in the distance when looking at reflections... it's weird. I'm sure DF will look into it. In any case, Fidelity looks absolutely beautiful.
Lastly, about the actual gameplay: it's more Spider-Man. If you loved the previous games, there's no reason you won't love this one. It's gorgeous, it plays beautifully, and the story is interesting so far.
My only complaint right now is a petty but personal one: Brooklyn is too small. Obviously, I wasn't expecting the full borough, but it feels smaller than even GTAIV's Brooklyn, which is probably because traveling is so fast in this game. At least GTA's Broker had the elevated subway that goes all the way down to Coney Island. It's just weird seeing Coney without it. Edit: Actually, the subway tracks are there, but only half of it elevated. It's a weird change.

Heh. Well Most devs are on that side of the pond, so makes sense to see that info show up there.

This guy is in the wild making the 100% playable on disc proclamation look like a CDPR apology. "Yes, it's playable, but i's taken 3 patches so far to polish it."
Worst marketing person ever.

In the review topic thread funny enough.
Some guy posted this chatgpt style, misogynistic response about how MJ looks versus in the previous game. Threw in some racist remarks as well.

That post was a trip...
I really hope if that was posted here it would be mocked relentlessly, and not championed by some.

Soooooo..... should I be concerned about my special edition order considering it still hasn't shipped? It's direct from PlayStation, and says launch day delivery, but it says it's still preparing to ship. I don't see how I could get it tomorrow if it hasn't shipped.
Anyone else order the special edition direct from PlayStation? Has it shipped? Is the dream dead? Is there about to be a 19 inch hole in my heart where Venom abandoned me?

Yep, platinum only takes around 30 hours too, perfect length imo.Probably preload in about an hour. I just read this is only about 15-20 hours and I am happy as fuck.
