You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.



I have Spidermanned myself to completion. Great game, although it may not crack the top 5 this year. It was fun, and it's top tier for cinematics and spectacle, but it was really just More Spiderman -- which is cool but I've already played one and a half games exactly like this. Felt like the combat was getting pretty samey about halfway through, and I don't think I ever played more than 2 hours or so at a sitting.

The open world felt kinda weaker though. I wanted more stuff to do in the city besides the collectathons. The Flame side quest was good, and Miles's museum theft was fun but I was disappointed when I realized it was only two missions and l was already done. Coulda used at least another few quest chains like that, some meatier stuff with a little story behind it. And IIRC the FNSM app (I pronouce it "fnizzim" in my head) was more fleshed out last time, with a SpiderTwitter and more little neighborhood requests.

I did like what they did with the boss fights, though. I don't remember the other games super well but I feel like they did more gimmicky fights, whereas in this one you got to just beat the villains down with your hands for the most part. I started a few of the fights over just because I got hit a few times, and it felt so good just running circles around Kraven or whoever, dodging all his blows and burning through his health with nonstop combos and special attacks.

Good game! Not sure if I'm gonna jump back into Mario next or what. Maybe it's time to finally play RDR2? Comedy answer: finish Starfield lol

The AAness of the game worked for me big time. Balls to the wall action and funny cutscenes where there's all this UE5 magic happening around Bethesda tier cardboard people.

RoboCop and Aliens Dark Descent are two of my favourite games of the year. Aliens probably the better licenced game as I feel like RoboCop starts to rely too heavily on lines from the movies, but overall both sick games and I hope we see more of their like in the future.

That aliens game is awesome but I wish I got it on pc. The pS5 version is not great

I would like people to revist the OP and the first page of this thread. There are almost zero rules to posting in here, please do not abuse that. If someone says something you do not like about a game do not take that as license to insult them with low content snipes for pages on end. Put them on ignore and move on.

Echoing this. Please chill out a bit, thread.

Edit: If there are people consistently making the thread insufferable to read, shoot us a report (please give us context as much as you can, we read back through threads when we get reports to get a picture of what's going on but I'm not a PS5 thread regular by any stretch for example so the more context you can give me the better).

Ah? What’s wrong with it? Stability or just control schemes. I’m gonna grab it eventually but my options would be PS5 or the Deck. So if the PS5 has stability issues I can go Deck, but if it just works better with a keyboard… welp.

Like, zero. The fact that I'm basically a white noise poster at Best probably helps, but the most use I've had out of PMs was trying to troubleshoot how to use TamperMonkey to adjust MP4 scales so they wouldn't be 6000 pixels wide like 6 years ago and trading Pokemon for a day.

speaking of squad based rts based on a licensed property there should be another Dawn of War. Not sure if the devs that made it originally are still around though. I think there was a Company of Heroes game recently?

it’s perfectly playable but the menus are laggy and I just feel like it would play better with a mouse and keyboard. It’s fine on pS5 I just kind of wish I could play it with a mouse. It’s a lot of radial menus and the game can move pretty fast.

There nothing about the PS5 version that is like, a dealbreaker though

Yeah I played on PC and if the option exists I'd say play it that way. It's a good experience on kbm and you can deal with the pace of things when the poo poo hits the fan much more easily.

You can change the slow motion to pause as well, which I am assuming is mandatory on controller. I played with the slow motion option on PC and you need to make some fiddly choices/angles happen that I reckon would be irritating on a controller.

Yeah it’s basically unplayable without changing slow motion to stop with a controller.

Decided to go for the Spider-Man platinum and the loving game either bugged out or I am missing something, cause I have done literally everything on the map but it says I’ve only done 6 of 9 emf missions. Which I need for a the trophy as well as the final upgrade point and all of the suits. So there’s multiple trophies I can’t even get.

Awesome, glad I wasted like 6 hours clearing out all the remaining side poo poo after I finished the main story.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I could've sworn a week ago that Spider-Man would be the best 'brawler where the PC grabs objects with a spiderweb-like whip and punches people so hard they bounce off the ground only nonlethally somehow' game that I would play this year but Yakuza Like A Dragon Gaiden The Man Who Erased His Name is giving it a serious run for its money

Hmm. I knew pausing would be necessary but lag on the menus does sound annoying. Guess I'll check some Steam Deck reviews before I make a purchase. Be nice to play an atmospheric Alien game on a big screen though...

Cyberpunk update: I am Jane Bond'ing in Dogtown, and feel a bit guilty for drinking, dancing and flirting with Alex when I haven't stopped by Judy's in ages. I dunno if saving V is really a possibility, or if I am willing to pay the likely price to do so...until anytime Johnny pops up to be a sarcastic prick again, which sets me back into full BURN EVERYONE mode just to get shot of the fucker.

For reals, every clip I've saved has just been V dispensing caustic burns anytime he chimes in, I love it.

Also, why can't I romance Lizzy Wizzy? Game is trash, etc.

The closest I have to that is a conversation with someone in support of their side of some crazy argument I don't remember and unfortunately little context was given in the PMs. I know it was in Games circa 2014 but that's about it.

I find PMs are mostly just good for SA Mart to buy stuff and commission art.

I always figured if someone tried to beef with someone in PMs they'd most likely post the PM in the related thread and get called out on it.

According to some guy on Youtube there don't seem to be any limits on pairing optical drives and consoles, so it's possible to share, swap, or sell them with no obstacle other than having to put the console online at least once. Not as good as if it didn't require online pairing at all, but still pretty good

The Game Awards are stupid and not worth caring about for reasons that have nothing to do with who gets nominated. It seriously boggles the mind that people take seriously the awards show that's 40% ads by volume.

(the nominations are also stupid, to be clear, but I don't really care that FFXVI didn't get a GOTY nom)

MK1 has some really robust accessibility options for vision and hearing impaired players, it's not too surprising to see it get nominated there.
