Disappointed to see Insomniac put the KindaFunny clowns in their game when these dudes started a hate campaign against PSVR2.... Labeling it dead and a flop less than 2 months after release before Sony even released sales numbers for it. Sony is always rewarding people that bash their brand

When they brought in Parris into their crew that was when I tapped out. I still like Greg Miller but yeah Parris is a joke.

Greg is a hypocrite, he always cries about how the PS Vita died and how he wished people would’ve supported it more. And then when Sony releases new gaming hardware, he craps all over it like he’s trying to kill it as fast as he can. 6 weeks after PSVR2 came out he rushed to label it a failure…

He also said he was a big fan of remote play and that he was looking forward to the PS Portal. Then when he saw the entire internet hated it, he randomly hopped on the hate bandwagon 🤦‍♂️

And yeah adding Parris was stupid but surprisingly he seems more sensible than Greg on that show…

Was falling asleep last night and planned to check this out for a few minutes before today, and I ended up gaming for three hours, wide awake.

This just seems like a killer app in every way for the PS5, with the constant SSD-high speed stuff being the best of the bunch, and touching everything right down to the absolutely thrilling web-slinging speed.

But the story and game itself just seem evolved and refined from the first game in all the right ways. I just couldn’t put it down. It was that fun. The web-slinging is simple but amazing feeling, the combat is honed and spot on, and the set pieces are just like the best, most climatic, exciting ending sequences you could imagine in a movie except we’re only just getting started.

I am delighted.

Insomniac is flexing that SSD-I/O muscle pretty hard with this one. Using fast travel for the first time is mind blowing.

The story and gameplay feel top quality so far.

I need to get back playing. Such a busy week... I just can't keep up with everything.

I really want to replay the intro, I feel like I didn't enjoy it enough, I was too much in awe to really do it right most of the time.

I feel like this is more of a discussion on gaming as a whole, but since it's also SM2-relevant...

What genuinely awful takes.

This is nothing more than MS’ PR agencies doing their work. Either damage control for another awful MS game or spreading false negative information on Playstation games. It has nothing to do with gaming whatsoever.

I wish it were that simple, but this is something I've been seeing for a while now, even from older PS fans. I really don't get where this pushback against a narrative focus is coming from, or why people act like investing so much time into characters means that they have to sacrifice on gameplay. Heck, SM2 alone disproves it. But it's a thing.

Just like I see people who like DMC and classic GoW try to crap on the combat in the modern GoW games because "it's just tapping a few buttons". Like, how do you think you combo'd in the old games??

This is just weird to me.

What I meant is that this has been a thing for a long time. We now know MS pays PR agencies and leverages their army of concubines to create positive buzz for their games and negative buzz for the competition. Reality or truth don’t factor in their agenda.

Hoeg kinda dropping the mask here. On his show he often disclaims that he doesn't hate Sony but it sure seems like it here. There is nothing wrong with Sony 1st party games or the way they're written. Also got the shill detector set off when he was shilling for Midfield all last month.

I am currently enjoying playing the game, having spent about 10 hours on it and reaching level 28. However, I recently encountered my first bug while doing a mission that required Peter. When I switched from Miles to Peter, my character model was displayed as a white box. I tried saving the game, exiting, and reloading it, but the issue remained. The only way I was able to resolve it was by switching from the symbiote suit to another suit option. Overall, it's a great game so far. Hopefully, this bug is isolated and doesn't affect many players. I'll probably even get the platinum before moving on to the next game.

Hoe Law is one of the most insufferable Microsoft shills out there..... him and Florian controlled the entire narrative around the ABK deal and worked overtime to convince everyone that there was nothing wrong with it and anyone against it hates gaming.
