@RBMango totally agree. That was my original point. Why was everybody so nice all the time ? Always saying the perfect thing. No edginess or dark vibes to it at all
@naruball it was super polished, great graphics and the traversal was fantastic. I have no issues with MM at all, I read the comics when he was first introduced and the Spider Verse movies are stunning. But SM2 the game was so bland and dull with lame characters due to the writing. I wanted it to be so much more
@LavenderShroud ...but his symbiote voice sounded like my little nephew trying to be angry 🤣 it did have some fun elements but overall I was so disappointed
I thought it was a HHUUGGE disappointment. Terrible writing and characters - why is everybody so nice all the time ? The dialogue is pure pre teen cringe. Peters voice when he wears the dark suit is beyond cringe. Peters Parker is such a limp, wet lettuce of a character, not to mention the even more cringey "Danicasts".
The side quests are ridiculous- no I don't want to walk 5 miles following your grandads inhaler scent, thank you. The quest that has you playing the deaf girl tagging graffiti is ridiculous- just let us be Spiderman !! And I don't want to solve a random crime 2 minutes after doing the last one.
And since when was playing a Spidey character akin to almost being an ultra powerful Jedi Knight ?
Players hated the Mary Jane stealth sections in the first game so instead of taking that feedback on board they introduce more .."but hey, this time let's give her a weapon ! Awesome! "
So yeah I didn't like it much ...5/10
A weekend of RPG greatness for me with the life sapping Diablo 4 my GOTY so far in Dragons Dogma 2 and I'm about 6 hrs in on the stunning Granblu Fantasy Relink which has blown me away with its gameplay and stunning art style. Get all over this if you haven't played it guys !
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@rusty82 ...Yeah loved the first one too. The 2nd is so cinematic and immersive and the combat is really hefty and visceral. Here's hoping it comes to PS5
Just finished Steel Rising...an enjoyable souls like but way too easy and lightweight with a good story
Gonna do another run through of Hellblade 2 which is fantastic though I fully understand it's criticisms but overall it's a stunner but not quite as good as the first game.
More GT7 which just gets better and better
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Malaise fantastic ! ...at the end of August me and 2 friends are driving from the east coast of England to Prague, Vienna then Budapest and back home. Eekk
Started, and I'm gonna stick with Steel Rising on PS5. Very ho hum at the mo, but a more accessible Souls like. The main issue is fighting the same enemies all the time More Diablo 4 my main drug of choice (well the only one 🤣) think I'll be playing this for years to come ! More Forza Motorsport on XBX .... Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Started Stranger of Paradise FF Origin but I've dropped it like a hot plate. Utterly awful, not for me So I'm gonna replay the amazing Stellar Blade to compensate with more of my GOTY so far Dragons Dogma 2 and Forza on XBX Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
More of the amazing Stellar Blade ...near to the end now I think so looking forward to NG+ Destiny 2 The Final Shape ..wow. Huge improvement on Lightfall, love the new Transcendance feature. A great mechanic and very strategic. Usual brilliant gunplay. Also more Diablo 4....the Season Of Loot is a huge game changer. Brilliant. Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Mikey856 ....those really were the days ! Used to love buying the Gamesmaster E3 editions. In some ways, the Internet has ruined some traditions, like buying magazines
@CWill97 ...play them all. Origins, DA 2 - Which, btw, has some of the best writing in any videogame. It has its issues but still a great RPG, then treat yourself to Inquisition- one of the best western RPGs. You'll be familiar with the characters and lore for Veilguard then. Enjoy !
@Friendly.....you've said it right there. It's a business in the gaming industry. Operates like a business in any sector ie. exists purely to make money, not games
@Lavishturtle and when EA close Bioware down and makes the staff redundant, I imagine you'll be commenting "**** EA killing the industry" and we can remind you of this ridiculous comment you've posted
Replaying the gob smacking Hellblade 2 on XBX, the first game in a long time I've replayed straightaway. If it comes to PS5, get all over it.
Also the Euro 24 update on FIFA ...it will always be FIFA to me lol, and it's a fun add on, tho England are way too overpowered based on last night's shocker 🤣
Also started Stellar Blade on PS5 and it's wonderful, tho the 3rd boss truly kicks my ass. Fantastic visuals and a true gamers game
If I have time, more of my personal GOTY Dragons Dogma 2, a game I'll never tire of playing
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@OldGamer999.....they don't make games just to appease gamers. They do it to make money ie. profit for their shareholders. That's their sole raisond'etre. Nothing else
