Nuebot posted:3's weapon balance is a super mess. But at least it's a mess in the sense that you can just pick whatever weapon you want and win the game while having fun. In 4 there's no real reason to ever use guns because of super powers. 4 is basically just "Well I could play the game. Or I could just use super powers." The entire time, which is frustrating. I really wish someone had been crazy enough to like, port 3's content to 4 or something. The Dubstep Gun is a notable exception. Though you do need to invest a bunch of money into it, and accruing money is awkward and lame compared to bounding around hoovering up orbs.

Dubstep Gun is a great idea but they kinda hosed it up by giving you one as a reward for an early side quest, then a second one for a mid-late game mission. It feels super obviously like they had it as a reward for the late mission originally, but inserted a way to get one early as instant gratification after marketing put it front and center of the ad campaign. Spider-Man: I haven't played it but I hear if you fast travel the loading screen is a little vignette of Spidey taking the subway in full costume, and that's awesome. I've seen one screenshot where he stretches out next to a flustered Spider-Man cosplayer.

Spider-Man looks great. Hopefully will get to try it out today.Sunswipe posted:You haven't lived until you've spinning piledrivered a goon off the Empire State Building. Prototype let you do that disguised as a granny. If a game lets you climb the Empire State Building and not powerbomb somebody off it, that game has issues. Ugh, Prototype ruled. Someone slap some Venom paint on a new Prototype and give us that please. Or just new Prototype, whatevs

Just noticed something in Marvel's Spider-Man. Was doing a fight on a rooftop, launched someone off a building, kept fighting, started getting boxes ticked off- the game will sometimes give you extra goals during fights and missions- for webbing someone to a wall. So I go down to the ground level and there's a dude webbed to a wall about 11 feet off the ground. So, Spider-Man does web people to the walls, but it's just not animated or anything. And fair enough on that, hard to have him doing combos on people and also make that happen as well.

I do like how Death's Gambit let's you immediately challenge a boss again after you've killed them. They're souped up and buffed appropriately, but you don't have to slog through an NG cycle to do the fight or farm them for items and experience points.

If you pressed the left stick in Cargo Commander, your dude would swear at the aliens. That game is one of my favorite cheap proc-gen games of the last decade. It has a lot of heart to it and the art and sound design just nail this lonely, isolated feeling.

And after seeing how Yakuza 1 (well Kiwami, but I've seen it was in the original too) establishes that Majima and Kiryu already know each other, fans were probably looking forward to seeing how he and Kiryu met. They must have been surprised when Kiryu and Majima didn't meet at all throughout the story

Though considering that I haven't heard a single thing about Spider-Man's actual gameplay aside from the most bare minimum functional comparisons to the PS2 game and Arkham combat it feels like they took away from that that the ultimate thing that matters is making sure that your branding is on point.

I'm like, not even halfway through but Majima is great. Even knowing his deal in the later games, there's this buildup in his arc that's just layering on a great deal of expectant tension. I also love how almost all of his sidequests involve him learning some kind of family moral or something as opposed to Kiryu who just does some goofy, heartwarming stuff. The early side story with the little girl who wanted dolls from the arcade was great and I will never hear a bad word about Majima again.

I'm really enjoying Spider-Man. It's very solid, and I like how mobile Spidey feels in combat. There's a lot of tools at your disposal. That being said, I've got to remember this isn't Arkham, Spider-Man-style. That's gotten my rear end kicked more than once.

The worst thing about Yakuza 0 is that you sometimes have to go back to Kiryu's boring real estate business instead of trying to find that perfect nail color and earrings to compliment your top girl's dress in Majima's cabaret club. I wanna be your girl~

I watched Spider-Man 3 this morning after only seeing it in the theater. It's not as bad as I remember and that whole sequence is routinely misinterpreted. Look at all the people around Peter, they are grossed out by his unearned swagger. In the jazz club people are into it because he's making a big spectacle but it's over pretty quickly.
