I know I'm a few years late to the party. Just want to BlogFAQs for a minute

This is fucking awesome. It's exactly what I wanted Spider-man 1/2 (PS2/Xbox/Gamecube) to be, when I was younger. Seems like it'll be balanced and consistent. It's like Batman Arkham on HGH

I've had a PS4 the entire time but barely put money into games, cuz I use PC. This just sold the system for me. Wanted to get my $ worth with exclusives... this will carry the load significantly

Glad it's only 20-25 hours. Seems like the perfect length. Got the GOTY edition for $20 today and it kept my attention longer than usual

I played Sunset Overdrive a few years ago. 8/10 game, worth the time spent. Insomniac really stepped their game up. I'm sure the Marvel/Sony money helped them put the best effort into it

I know!!!

It was such an amazing game. Made me love video games again for the first time in years.

And then RDR2 blew it out of the water.. but doesnt change how amazing it was!

Yeah, it was really fun and a surprisingly deep combat system. Every action flows into another and it really feels incredible when you can zip around and stay airborne.

No God of War? No Uncharted 4? I'd put them both above Spiderman personally having platinumed the game and DLC.

I'm still on Uncharted 2, lol. And I was going to buy God Of War today, but decided on Spidey. Most because I'm trying to finish Horizon Zero Dawn, thought Spider-man would vary more than GoW. I'll have that eventually. Never bought God Of War in the past cuz I wanted to play the original games, backlogs are a bit

Its a reboot. Outside of a few references, which you could simply watch a video on YouTube running down the series, you're not missing anything by not playing all 6.

The gameplay is so fluid, I dont know how Insomniac made it work so well.

The story is amazing as well.

I 100% recommend God of War, one of my favourite games of this gen and I didnt even play the PS2 games

Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the sequel. Especially hope they flesh out some more of the side content in the future as felt it was a bit boring at places, especially the times you were forced to do them, but the main game was awesome.

Yeah I'll probably play GoW PS4 first. It'll be cheap again in the next few months, those digital sales always go in cycles. Fine with only Spiderman for Black Friday

Thanks for letting me know. I can still go back to the PS2/3/PSP games later in life. Plan to do the same with Tomb Raider and other series

I liked the combat a lot. It was pretty much Arkham but with more control.
But the open world of it and side missions didn't really click well since outside of a few powers/costumes, everything else is subpar.

Oh and there's a fuckload of Spidey games. Spider-man 1 and 2 on PS1 were new stories. On PS2 it was based on the older Spider-Man movies

Swinging around was fun, everything else was soul crushingly bland. The Arkham-style QTE combat needs to die.

I thought the combat itself was the best part, next to the fact some of the missions tried to balance out Peter being Spider-Man instead of Spider-Man being the main character.

Between the large movement, the web slinging, able to counter literally almost anything from a distance, the gadgets, etc, it was Batman combat but far more technical and enjoyable

If you don't get burned out from playing too many open world games back to back, you should also play Yakuza 0 if you haven't already

No it isn't. At all. Hell, by not at least playing the first 3, you won't truly get why the writing for Kratos was so praised.

Spider-Man ps4 was great.

I highly recommend checking out God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn. Both won GOTY, and can be bought for $10 per game
