Fantastic result. Insomniac, Marvel and Sony must be very happy with this. Do Marvel actually get anything from this? Other than good PR? Spider-Man still belongs to Sony right?

I don't know about gameplay, but a FPS where you travel through time and have gun fights in different time periods definitely has legs. If they made it fun and colourful, they could perhaps differentiate from all the other shooters out right now. It would probably get Overwatch comparisons, but maybe they could concentrate on single player to stop that?

Eventually, yes. But I don't know about during the 7 day trial period.

£90 and this doesn't even come with a charger?

It looks like he scratched that guys head in frustration. Arguably not straight red, but it's definitely a weird thing to do.

Fuck this game. Seriously it's just so shit sometimes. I had a to choose to charge between two guys, so i choose one (pretty much at random, i only managed to guess half the interview questions) and all I get is my boss yelling at me for choosing the wrong guy. No explanation as to why he's the wrong guy, or what I did wrong. It's just such bullshit. This game winds me up so much.

I'm in two minds, but I suspect that the FOMO may win though in the end. I may actually buy it and hope I end up playing it due to the Switch's portableness, but I similarly lack enough local people to play it with.

Literally unplayable.

Geez, someone needs to update their bots.

That's only £1.31 a month!

So i've developed a sort of love/hate relationship with this game. I love bits of, and i'm definitely going to finish it, but oh my god the interviews. Why are they such bullshit?! I just think the game is really good in every other aspect, but it just falls apart during the interviews - they really pull down an otherwise excellent game. You just feel like you have no input in how they play out other than random chance. Arseface.

So, this free week of online. Does that mean we get a free week of the totally awesome NES games as well? Or are they not included in that bit?

Are you suggesting that the previous tenant was Dave Benson Phillips?

Maybe it wasn't gunk in the first place, and was in fact gunge all along?

Considering these games are a few hundred kilobytes each, I'd be disappointed if it wasn't!

If I look at the list of trophies and the Platinum requires you to complete the game more than once, it can fuck right off. I don't understand why anyone would complete a game and then want to instantly start again from the beginning. If I see that multiple playthroughs are a necessity, then I'm less inclined to bother with any of the other trophies, since I know that the platinum isn't attainable anyway.

I bought the book but haven't read it yet. Not sure whether to read the book or watch the film first.

ARE HOODIES MOLESTING BRITISH SWANS?

I don't play any games that would require it at the moment, so I'll not bother for now.

It's more the way I throw a pretend drop beacon into the middle of the office, and then stand staring at the ceiling tapping my foot.

I keep getting these odd looks at work when I put on my vaguely Spanish, slightly Italian accent.

An interestingly traversal system is something that can elevate a game, I think. It's one of the reasons why I live the Just Cause series. The gameplay itself could just be another open world sandbox game with explosions, but the way they make it so much fun to traverse across the map with grapple + parachute + wingsuit makes it a joy. Playing a different game after JC3 always feels like a chore to get around when you have to walk on the ground like a chump. Spider-Man is the same presumably. It could so easily become a chore to "go here, fight this, come back" but they way that you get there makes it interesting for much longer.

Didn't see anything that I'm likely to buy. Maybe Animal Crossing if I think I'll be able to put enough time into it when the time comes.
