Topic: Insomniac's Spiderman

@Tasuki, I haven't bought any of the DLC yet.

So I'm upto chapter 3 and the game is fantastic but it really goes all out with trying to kill you at this part of the game.

Those flying sable enemies are so annoying. Relatively easy to beat themselves but when you have a few enemies around you they bomb you from above wiping out health. Then the game refuses to lock on to turrets and sniper perches! Due to wiping a good few times, the end game mop up is taking longer than one should reasonably expect and it's verging on frustrating.

@themcnoisy git gud?

@kyleforrester87 It's not that simple. I can hold my own most of the time but on the odd occasion you are suddenly faced by too many attacks at once and due to the openworld - getting attacked from beyond the confines of a set piece. You can literally go from full health to dead in two seconds flat. Tbf the game is 80% done to completion

Finally finished Spiderman. What a ride. Platinums bagged and I will download the cat woman DLC tomorrow. I just can't get enough of web zipping around .

Also the trophy list is brilliant. But what is even better is the ending; What a terrific story for a super hero game. Eclipsing most of the films and comics and setting up a sequel perfectly.

@themcnoisy Congrats on your platinum dude, absolute perfection of a trophy list

@Jevon It is perfect. One thing about playing games for trophies blind; I didn't realise you had to save tokens for the suits. So spent loads of challenge points on all the gadgets before I realised. I had to 3* almost every challenge. This was one of the best parts of the game and I'm glad I ran Spiderman blind as I had to git gud. The stealth ones are the easiest I found after trying them 7/8 times you would have the timings to perfection (there's a ton of leeway in those challenges), then the bomb challenges, fighting and lastly the drone challenges as they have the least leeway to make a mistake.

Jev have you ran into any other boss games with great trophy lists mate?

@themcnoisy Yeah @mrobinson91 spent the points on the gadgets aswell, but he coped out and just bought the Dlc to get some extra challenges, whereas my approach to games is so basic I rarely look into the different mechanics so I didn't really use the gadgets, and the suits were always my focus, I'm also conditioned to be paranoid about missables in games that i tend to stockpile any forms of currency in games until its the last thing I can do, I thought they struck a really good balance with the challenges that 2* was pretty easy, and the few i went for 3* on took a few practices but never felt out of reach.

This year I think Spider-man, then the Spyro trilogy and God of War have had the best lists that Ive played, although I enjoyed Farcry5 and Castlevania Requiem aswell (castlevania does have a couple of missables however).
For previous years my memory is a bit less clear, Nier:Automata stand out but its one of my all time favourite games and gives you the option to buy any of the trophies you dont like so I may have forgotten about any bad trophies, and I remember Horizon: Zero Dawn impressing me with its list

@Jevon I've got both Nier Automata and God of War so will stick one of them on next. Thanks for the heads up mate.

Resogun is a good platinum and agreed on HZD.

guess what was just added to the game @get2sammyb

@FullbringIchigo Already uninstalled Spider-man. Do you need the Season Pass to get the suit?

@WanderingBullet not sure, i can't get to my PS4 right now

@FullbringIchigo No worries... Just read PushSquare's article and it didn't mentioned anything about needing the Season Pass to get the suit.

The Raimi suit seems to be a freebie for all who own the game, you just need to install the latest patch

@kyleforrester87 please don't say that. It is completely unhelpful and does notgong to inspire a player to get better and more likely makes them want to do so even less.

@WebHead works for me. Practice makes perfect.

@WebHead i found the best bet is to ignore everybody else and take out the flyers first, jumping in the air makes it easier to target them, web zip to them with the triangle button and beat them senseless, don't give them a chance to attack you

but you better practise your dodging and air combat skills, try finding a random crime and only fight in the air

On the last DLC, they were like let's just give every enemy an RPG...

@Splat and a shield and a jet pack

I've been going with this for a week now and am having a great time, although the game plays to my gaming OCD tendencies as end up getting every collectible as soon as they're available so I've already done all masts, backpacks, landmarks, research stations (except one I can't do yet), black cat things, and now all pigeons.

I feel like I've hardly done any of the main missions though. I also only recently unlocked the fast travel and the loading screen the couple of times I've used it have made me laugh.

So far, I've found the electrified punch the most useful skill as it can be most useful against the bigger enemies. I love the swinging kick move a bit too much as well (especially when used to knock someone off a building).

Still plenty to go (hopefully) including all the DLC
