Yeah, as far as I remember you fight corrupt cops once in the game? Maybe they show up again at one of the Kingpin Construction Site side missions but I don't think so. It's weird that it only seems to happen once.

I know there's a Striker's Island prison somewhere in comics

The singular cop who is presented as Spider-Man's friend ends up becoming a literal murdering supervillain. Peter in the game is literally defined by constantly trusting people who shouldn't be trusted and having to recover from that. The NYPD tower thing is weird but again this Spider-Man is prone to trusting people. He also helps created Dr. Octopus during the game entirely with good intentions. He constantly trusts Black Cat when he shouldn't. He is defined as wanting to help everyone and trying to see the best in everyone even when it blows the gently caress up in his face and it is an acknowledged and presented character flaw that costs him as often as his helps him. Like it is copraganda as much as anything that features police in any fashion that isn't violent murderers is going to be but when you have a character who is defined by not wanting to murder people then "they are arrested and sent to jail" is really the only option that makes sense in a modern writing context. You could write that Spider-Man has a secret underground prison he throws everyone in which is monitored by the Fantastic Four or something but uh there was literally an entire comic series about why that is actually super hosed up.

This is only tangentially related to the copaganda argument, but I hate that there is a crime family in the Marvel universe called the Maggia. The world has a real crime family called the Maffia but it's a criminal organisation, not a super crime family or anything like that. A lot of people are unaware of the difference between criminal organisations and super crime families run by cyborgs already, we don't need Marvel adding to the confusion.

Skwirl posted:Outlier. Half his banter while web-swinging is with a police detective where he keeps referring to himself as "Spider-Cop" and you unlock detailed maps (like climbing on tall poo poo in Assassin's Creed games) by repairing the NYPDs surveillance towers. To be fair that police detective turns out to be an unrepentant murderer who brags about how good it feels to kill a person in the DLC.

Also the Spider-Cop thing is Peter making jokes about buddy cop movies and not him going "I am actually an officer of the law"

They have similar concepts, young Batman proteges taking on his mantle after he dies. I can't think of a good alternate title for either of them.

Yeah the DLC is generally agreed upon to not be very good and most people seemed to get their fill from the main game and not bother revisiting it That's kind of the thing with open world games: even the good ones you don't really hear about the DLC because only the super hardcore are going back for seconds so soon

tbh I'd liken Miles Morales to be the "DLC" equivalent in this case even though it was sold as separate. GTA4 and RDR did more or less the same and I'd consider them as top of the class for DLC updates.

The advantage of the DLC for Spider-man was it meant that you didn't have to 100% all the challenges in the main game (and in particular the drat Taskmaster challenges) to unlock all the powers/costumes. You could dip into the DLC to get the tokens you needed to get the stuff you didn't have. On the downside, that bloody Screwball boss fight was designed to make you shatter your controller.

I don't think Spider-Man or the DLC is too difficult (you can change the difficulty down to "Impossible to die" if you want) but goddam getting all the suits unlocked is just too much of a pain for someone with bad reflexes like me.

Nah, there is definitely a point in the second chapter where combat encounters start having too many guys and those guys take too much damage. It's not necessarily hard, but it becomes a slog.

Either their playtesters gave them inaccurate experiences or Insomniac was too biased from making Ratchet & Clank games (or both) but I don't think they expected the resistance a lot of players had when it comes to using gadgets. And since the DLC is basically "throw everything you have at enemies" if the player isn't using a bunch of gadgets for guard breaks and crowd control and instant KOs then DLC fights can be really overwhelming. They do seem to have tried emphasizing gadgets more with the Screwball challenges but maybe those were too little too late.

The souped-up magic whatever redesigns in the trailer make it harder to know who characters are and therefore get excited about them.
