GamesAreSupernice posted:The chase or the fight itself? Both, actually. The chase took me a while to get the hang of, then I kept beefing it in the second part of the fight, if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure losing the fight puts you back at the start of the chase sequence, although it's been long enough I'm not a hundred percent sure.

True I think I remembered Spider-Verse differently, but then again I read it for the various off-shoots, so the issue that was just Noir-Spidey or just 2099 Spidey, etc. Also if it wasn't for Spider-Verse we wouldn't have gotten Spider-Gwen and I guess that's all I have to say that's positive (truth be told I never actually read a lot of the huge crossover comics, even the Beyonder arc I just read the Spidey comics because Spidey is all I care about in the Marvel universe at this point)

And I swear to god, Slott's original idea for Spider-Gwen was literally her in a Red-and-Blue webbed version of her ASM #122 costume. Thank god they went in a different direction. Although Web Warriors I think was a bridge too far (and kind of mishandled to boot). I've for the most part been watching the Spider-Man comics from the sidelines with mounting horror (I only got into comics when OMD went down, so I kind of never got into 616 Spidey). Let's just say I do not agree with most of Dan Slott's creative decisions on the book. Which sucks, because I loved his Spider-Man & Human Torch miniseries. Still, Renew Your Vows exists now (written by Gerry Conway himself - it owns, go out and read it everyone) and Chip Zdarsky's going to be writing Spectacular Spider-Man soon, so now's a pretty good time for Spider-Man if you were put off by some of the more recent creative decisions like me.

Also, I think it was an interesting twist that Eddie Senior apparently caused the plane crash as Venom. It's certainly better than what they later with in the comics - that the Parkers were killed by The Hulk, of all people. I think I solved the mystery of the fire on the helipad - it's started in the cutscene, when Trask tries to shoot Eddie and blows up those fuel tanks by mistake. All in all, I think this game's pretty great. And I'm kinda bummed I gave up so close to the end. Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Mar 12, 2017 |

I decided to look up anything else Bendis might've written in the world of videogames, and his only other credit appears to be the Story Mode for Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes. Ouch. Well, I suppose that the game being written by the guy writing the comics might have helped on that front.  Apparently at one point this was supposed to be canon with the comics. They kinda-sorta adapted it later (which involved this whole Carnage clone of Gwen Stacy - who Carnage had killed in this universe - that Eddie ate like Peter in the game, and basically spat out an ordinary Gwen that everyone basically shrugged and treated as the real one from that point onwards).Actually, now i think about, this came out in 2005, right? So Bendis would have only taken over the Avengers (and by extension, largely setting much of the tone for most of the Marvel Universe) a year before (less, maybe, if you factor in development time). That was just about the point most people would agree cracks started showing. I think it's because while Ultimate was his baby (and most of his other solo books had relatively small casts or focused on minor characters) this was when he started writing big names (and occasionally stuffing characters into OOC behaviour to move the plots along).

That last sequence ending in Peter hitting Venom so hard that he breaks his own arm is really cool. My friend and I marked pretty hard when we beat it. Then we set off to see if I could unlock the black suit. Also "I should let Eddie eat her" cracked me up. Forgot about that. We did not unlock the black suit.

You have to 100% the game and it offers no gameplay differences.

I seem to remember that for some reason you couldn't actually change costume until after finishing the game. I seem to recall tracking down enough tokens & stuff to unlock at least some of them, and nothing doing.

In regards to the Hulk, SF Debris noted in his Rise and Fall of the Comic Empire retrospective that Marvel dictated that the Hulk be "an angry, green idiot" as part of their back-to-basics policies when Joe Quesada and Bill Jemas came onboard following the insanity that was the Marvel bankruptcy case. So the comics are just as guilty of making the Hulk stupid as the cartoons. It's just that without the rage, the stupidity is far more glaringly noticeable.

 Let's Play Spider-Man 3 I sometimes wonder if anyone got the same feeling that I did when I played Spider-Man 2. The feeling that what everyone enjoyed about the game.. wasn't really the focus. Sure, the swinging and variety were fun, but the introduction of Spider-Instinct and the enhanced combat told me a different story. They told me Treyarch really wanted to make a hard-rear end Spider-Man beat 'em up more than a well-rounded action/adventure game. It's not like the signs weren't everywhere. The penultimate mission in Spidey 2 against several absurdly powerful mech-suits was the biggest tip-off, but there were other hints in the post-game challenge missions and Treyarch's original movie game attempt. You know, the one that sold 4 million copies but infuriated children well into adulthood. Spider-Man 3, as I see it, is Treyarch's realization of a pure-blooded 3D Spidey beat 'em up. It doesn't feel Spidey anymore. The combat always seemed everyone's least favorite part of the experience, and Spidey 3 goes delivering almost nothing but tons and tons and tons of punching. And.. I really loving dig it. Why? Because the punching is good. Look, it's true that with a few tweaks you could easily have made the game about another character entirely, but I don't care. Treyarch's love for my favorite genre is more pronounced here than ever. For starters, everything that people found frustrating about Spidey 1 and 2's bosses has been cranked up to maximum. Then we throw in some way more interesting and useful combo variations, enemy types that require strategic and well-timed use of said combos, and you've got yourself something I really wanna play, if nothing else. Don't get me wrong, it does build on the previous games in the series.. insofar as using their mechanics to flesh out the combat even further. I don't need to justify poo poo, let's play Spider-Man 3. Videos

You know, even though I've played this game before, cutting Bruce Campbell off still seems weirdly blasphemous. Also, even though I love slo-mo gimmicks in games, I promptly forgot about Spider-Instincts and played through the entire game without it. So... yeah, looking forward to seeing the proper way to do this.

The main problem I often have with boss fights is that once you figure out the solution it becomes tedious as you have to do it several times (as you did here). OK, make it a puzzle instead of a normal fight, but once I've solved the puzzle let me move on.

OK, make it a puzzle instead of a normal fight, but once I've solved the puzzle let me move on. That is a fair complaint. I feel the inclusion of repetition was probably to ensure you actually understood the solution, though it's still a bit excessive exactly how much you need to do it.
