@LtSarge
Yes definitely give it a go.
I’ve put in quite a few hours now and it has grown on me, the driving is ntb and the racing is fun especially the off-road ones. Hong Kong when you get out of the city looks good as does the new Ibiza island that they added.
It’s just that imo the game makes a terrible first impression.
I defeated Divine Beast Dancing Lion on my second attempt today. I didn't find the boss fight that hard, although I and my Mimic Tear were low on resources by the end of the fight. Current Scadutree Blessing Level is 10, and my Revered Spirit Blessing is at Level 5.
Edit: Revered Spirit Blessing is at Level 6 now. Next stop, Shadow Keep!
Ahahah. I was talking about the game but in other media I quite like Marvel stuff. There are definetely good movies and series. I just watched Wonder Man recently for example. Agatha All Along was nice too. When it comes to Spider-Man game, old face was similar to 90s animated series and it fit so well. New face just feels awkward even after Spider-Man 2.
@Scottyy I checked just now and I have to say I think I prefer the original PS4 one. He looks like he's been through more in the old one, that's a really big change. He has a baby face in the remaster and now I can't unsee it. The game got a lot more interesting after 70% story completion especially with everyone having escaped Rikers and the Raft. It looks like Devil's Night in The Crow, just fire everywhere I'll probably push to finish it tonight then have a look at the trophy list.
I just had such a jump scare from Skorpions tail shooting out of the water/poison during hallucination sequence, I wasn't expecting that at all.
Right on the hour of bedtime without even a minute to spare, looks like tomorrow I finish the story.
The 2018 E3 demo what got me finally hyped for the game but I wished they didn't show that at the same time. Incredible set piece. You are in for a treat; story will just get better and better.
@LtSarge The first KCD is on Gamepass if you have that and the Royal edition with all the dlc is on sale on PS (in the uk) for 7 quid until the 25th Feb.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Ravix Not yet. I'm deep into Disco Elysium, so won't be at least until I finish that. Not even started Divinity Original Sin 2, which is another Ravix inspired purchase lol.

@Scottyy The story definitely got better in that late game, the action too and the pace. I've gotten one hundred percent and maybe the DLC is next. It was a quick game but to be fair he moves fast when he has to, it helped that I already knew the layout of the city, there was no stopping to look at the map. That certainly cut down on time, the rest was just a careful ballet of of the circle and square buttons.

You will love traversal even more in 2nd game. And yeah, side stuff don't feel like a chore because its's so easy to reach missions etc. I especially love 3rd act. Incredibly cinematic final boss and Aunt May scene really impacted me. Awesome story and I think it's one of the best Spidey stories outside comics.
@Scottyy I'll try the Black Cat DLC tonight. The final boss took me about five tries with that second phase, he jumps onto the tower and keeps throwing things. I realized that all I had to do was jump off the building then swing up and hit him. The part at the very end where they are fighting on the side of the building was very good. The 'you look tired Parker' and 'I'm not tired just in pain'. That was done really well and stands out as probably my favorite part story-wise. Is Norman Osborn not the Goblin like in the movie? I thought when he went into his lab at the end he'd take out that suit. Is Harry Venom? He has sort of black webbing coming out of him and it touched the glass.
I'm after getting the animated series box-set, I figure it might help tie some things/characters together. At sixty five episodes it would take just over twenty one hours to watch them all. I wouldn't know where to go with the comics. When I started researching Batman after playing Arkham Asylum I read Killing Joke, KnightFall, Gotham by Gaslight, one where he's Dracula and a couple of others. Then I watched the animated series (all of it, it took a while) followed by Mask of Phantasm and ten or so other animated movies. Mask of Phantasm was probably the best, great score too.

Black Cat is so much better than MJ in Insomniac series so I think you will enjoy her character.
Yeah, the thing you see in Norman's penthouse while investigating as MJ was the Green Gobling suit prototype. Also yes, Harry was covered in symbiote at the after-credits.
90s series is awesome and you probably get all the core information about Spidey and his world overall. For Spidey comics you can read the mainline Amazing Spider-Man that began in 1960s and ended with 800th issue. I think starting from issue 500 or something like that would be enough for you since the issues before that may come as "old". Another thing I would recommend highly would be the og 2000s Ultimate Spider-Man. It is a different "universe" per se but awesome comic series for the characters. I would be lying if I recommend anything for modern ages but I am collecting Amazing Spider-Man Vol.5 issues. Also I bought the newest Ultimate Spider-Man too.
@JohnnyShoulder Ah! I'm delighted you've finally started Disco Elysium after having read of your interest before. I hope it's living up to the hype for you. I only played it last year and it certainly did for me. Can't wait to hear your thoughts once you roll the credits!

I've started Lost Records: Bloom and Rage and am about two and a half hours in. I'll take the liberty of tagging @Th3solution here, since I remember you played it as well and weren't too fond of it. So far, I've been having a rather okay time. Nothing has blown me away yet, but I have found myself getting more invested after the proper introduction of the larger group. The first hour or so where it was simply the protagonist by her lonesome got old pretty fast. I'm not sure why, but I've found it hard to connect to her. More so than I have with a protagonist in this genre of game in a while. I think I just don't appreciate the type of character she is as much and find her a bit too childish for my liking in the flashback portions. The way she speaks and handles situations got on my nerves more than once. I haven't felt similarly about her current-day counterpart though, so I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of growth for her to come over the course of the game. However long the playtime for that may be!
I say that final part especially, because I have been spending a ludicrous amount of time with the camcorder and editing together all kinds of film. I find that mechanic to be delightful and very satisfying. The "reward" being a nice voice-over and finished product once you finished that category of your memoir really hits the spot for me as well. Makes it feel like my hard work catching the best angles and moments were worth it! Like I said, I'm about two and a half hours in, but I'd be a lot further than I am (which is the scene searching for the keys) if I didn't spend so much time with that mechanic, I'm sure. I'll also take the liberty of tagging @GirlVersusGame here, because I think you'd have a great time with that part of the game as well. For your information, essentially you get to record 10-second clips maximum in-game with your camera and edit them together in any order. It's a very rudimentary type of editing software within the game, but the fun part is the positioning and recording the clips. The game will record it exactly as you filmed it as well, so it's not like your recording will simply default to the best possible it could be. It's up to you entirely in how you want to frame it and make it look!
So yeah, the jury's still out on the story and its characters, but there's at least one major part of the game I'm having a lot of fun with. I wonder how that might start playing into the narrative more eventually or if it'll remain more of a side thing for the people who are interested in engaging with it. I did notice one particularly fun hint where I focused the camera on a specific type of graffiti... resulting in it going all wobbly, purply and weird. I already assumed this game had something supernatural about it, but that confirmed it!
@Tjuz Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a two-part adventure game developed by Don't Nod Montréal and published by Don't Nod. The plot focuses on four teenage girls: Swann, Nora, Autumn, and Kat, who go on a journey of self-discovery and forge unbreakable bonds during the summer of 1995
Is it this game? There's really a character called Kat, that's kind of funny. By that alone I should try it. It sounds like Stranger Things, which I haven't seen but know of it. The editing feature sounds unique too and if it's set in 1995 it should be analog VHS, which is even better. I zoomed so fast through Spiderman that it might as well have been a walking/swinging simulator. I've been spending the day catching up with my horses then tonight I should be trying some Spiderman DLC but I'll put that game on the list too thank you. Next week shouldn't be too hectic, if so I'll be catching up on a lot of gaming. You should try Spiderman if you haven't already, everyone else seems to have. I played maybe two of the Life is Strange games, I liked Chloe even-though she was a bit wild. The music was great too.

@JohnnyShoulder I actually own a physical copy of the Royal edition, although I do have to admit that I had completely forgotten about it until I read your post! For some reason, I hadn't written it down in my list of backlog games. I need to make sure to add it now. What a nice surprise though lol.
@Ravix Is it true there's a puppy companion in Kingdom Come Deliverance? I'm trying to avoid spoilers but if true and if they are invincible it might get bumped up the list even faster.
