Brutes are pretty trivialized by Perfect Dodge. That should be a priority if you don't have it already.

The biggest problem I have with the system is that honestly there isn't a lot of focus. They give you a lot of insanely powerful tools and unlike Arkham I'm never really like "I should be using (x) here." A lot of the gadgets feel kind of feel like interchangeable instant kill/instant stun attacks, the super moves are either borderline useless (Spider-Man Noir's ability where) or incredibly overpowered so it's never really fun to mix and match. Some of the moves are incredible and others feel like utterly meaningless. (The ability to remove enemy weapons would be nicer if at any point devoting that much attention to a gun guy wouldn't just leave them defeated anyway, even ignoring the instant-kill perfect dodge move.) It's still a lot of fun to play but has a lot of stuff where I'm like "why did you bother with this?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMVJmK57Wds I really like the stealth challenges honestly. When you do them right they flow together super naturally and you just feel like how spider-man actually would work in stealth, a bouncing ball of doom.

Old Kentucky Shark posted:I really like the... I don't know, the Spider-man-ness of the game; not the combat or web swinging, which, don't get me wrong, are awesome, but the homeless shelter and the rent problems and the pulling people out of car accidents. The problem with the Arkham Batman games after Asylum were that you didn't feel like a superhero, you felt like an assassin with a robot tank. Yeah, I really appreciate the game spends a lot of time on focusing on the non-punching things Peter does to help people. It really really helps emphasize that he wants to help people, not beat people up.

... Who the gently caress looked at Guardians of the Galaxy and thought 'darkness, violence and sadness' was the defining characteristic? It's a goddamn film franchise where the main character finds out his father murdered his mother and his response is to turn into goddamn Pac-Man during the epic fight.

Codependent Poster posted:What does games as a service mean? It depends, it can be used in a few different ways, but it means they intend it to be an ongoing thing rather than a one-in-done sort of thing. It means it will probably have some sort of pay element, either ongoing DLC or some sort of microtransaction stuff combined with occasional content/story updates. It doesn't necessarily have to be bad but it's understandable that it would be a warning sign for people.

Aphrodite posted:It’s also not fun to play. A major factor in that is that they were specifically hamstrung and given specific instructions, up to and including not being allowed to use any control scheme but the NES-style controls. While their 3D action games haven't been perfect Other M is by far the standout in its flaws and most of them can be pointed to specific instructions given to them by the higher ups. Based off most of their games (they've done at on Dynasty Warriors stuff too) you can expect a competent button-mashy beat 'em up with a lot of flash which... sounds about right for MAU?

TheNamedSavior posted:Square's Avengers game looks not very promising to me. Insomniac's Spider-Man gave us an interpretation of the character that was trying to stand out from the other Spider-Men, something original. Square's Avengers looks like soulless MCU cash in. Plus Deus Ex was left on a cliffhanger just to make it. gently caress that. So what I'm getting from this is "I am angry about Deus Ex and I am going to be negative about this game no matter what" because... there's literally nothing about the game.

Why would that be ripping off MGSV and not... you know, the entire rest of the Deus Ex series where your protagonists have literally always been clones and also the central premise is Every Conspiracy Theory Is Real.

omg chael crash posted:I figure we will have to pay for things like alternate costumes so they can say poo poo like “nothing in the game is pay to win, it’s all cosmetic!” and blah blah blah. The thing is that it's not quite so simple. Games have not increased their price in 12 years while the complexity and development time for everything has increased. Making a new costume now is a significantly greater investment of time. A lot of this stuff just straight-up would not exist without paid DLC .When you talk about how we 'used to get with the base game' you're talking about games that had fewer polygons total than Spider-Man's asscrack has these days. That doesn't mean it can't be predatory or scammy but it isn't a case of "it would be free if not for that." It's far more likely a lot of it straight-up wouldn't exist.

Skwirl posted:I get that it's more complicated now, but Spider-Man PS4 has a bazillion and 2 costumes in the base game. That is because it was a selling point for the game to have a billion costumes. I'm not saying it isn't awesome just that they made it a central part of the mechanics and budgeted accordingly.

They expect people to redo previous stages with friends if they want to try different characters.

The Batmobile was amazing because they actually admitted prior to Arkham Knight they couldn't think of a way to make the Batmobile fun but it was the #1 most requested thing and whoops, turns out that it isn't actually that fun to Batmobile.

OnimaruXLR posted:I think the problem with driving in open world games is that it's very, very easy to get off course, at which point you either trigger a fail state (not fun) or realize that you have all the time in the world to get where you're going (relatively fun, but undercuts the hell out of any stakes or tension). There are games like that but they run into the same kind of problem Hitman does but on a larger scale: A significant portion of the playerbase will zoom right for the easiest solution regardless of how fun it is.
