My gripe with this argument is...

1. Spiderman doesnt have that many bugs imo, well I hvnt seen any.

2. Games like all Bethesda games, Lords of Fallen, All Souls games, Assn Creed games, never get docked for bugs generally from what I seen but....

Games like "Days Gone" got massacred

So there isnt consistency with how they rate games and thts the reviewers fault and biases. If they aren't going to dock points for perf and bugs say sooo, if they are, keep it 100% across the board. Even games with fucked up online or not working at all sometimes don't get docked and their is bias. Halo Master Chief collection online was borked for over a year yet they didnt dock it but Driveclub which was fixed in a few months was destroyed in reviews because of it!!!

Put Gameranx on the blacklist!

It's only "buggy" if you include the manufactured bugs that Xbox fanboys did... using photo mode to merge characters etc.

Disgraceful..hope they get dragged.
Thts what their sourcing? If so I will never use them as a source again, fuck them!

Buggiest game? DAFUQ?

1. Starfield alone has a lot more bugs. If we're talking AAA releases, let's not even discuss Assassin's Creed Mirage and Redfall.
2. The bugs in Spider-Man 2 are mostly cosmetic.
3. While it is one of the "buggiest" PS Studios releases, which have lacked their usual polish since 2020, it's one of the least buggy AAA releases I've played in the past year.

I can only assume that it's based on the Twitter nonsense, as I am playing and have only had 2 bugs of note after hours of play.
I have that one bug where I yank a woman 8 feet off while carrying her.

Another bug happned when I accidentally throw the kid off the building while web swinging, Spider-Taliban in action.

They are still alive though, 0/10 not realistif enoough

Well, I'd believe some of them if they were anything like the bugs I had... but all the ones they've shown have been using photoshop and then one where they used the bicycle to go somewhere the devs didnt expect and it caused some weird stuff....

But these are absolutely forced by doing things repeatedly until they get a bug.

It's pretty simple: Most people don't find these glitches and, when they do, the game is so good that they gloss over.
But when the game is mid or bad, like Starfield or Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, people bash the game even more.
That's all there is to it.
Hence, nobody cares about the glitches in BG3, SM2 or in TW3 (which is also filled with glitches) because these games are good.

I am still trying to replicate the object replace Spiderman model.

I even turn the console offline, install the 1.01 disc version of the game. I've seen this in MM.

Seem like the game in 1.01 is less buggy than 1.02?

Did you read the article? They cite specific bugs and name drop a Souls game as being just as egregious.
