Great episode! Any chance we could get a second one with Dagan on it? Maybe with Hoeg, who wasn't so hot on the game, and Jaffe? Just a thought!

2023-11-18 00:56:25 +0000 UTCThe guys unsure of what insomniac could do for the third game—I personally could see them doing Superior Spider-Man with the return of Dock-Ock, and then potentially the merge of Green Goblin and Carnage to create Red Goblin. Just thought it would be interesting.

2023-11-13 03:39:01 +0000 UTCMaybe Dagan was busy but it's disappointing Dustin was chosen for this over him. Dagan just reviewed the previous 2 Spiderman games with Colin on Knockback. Meanwhile Dustin admittedly doesn't enjoy open world games and skipped the side quests. Help me make sense of this.

2023-11-12 10:16:19 +0000 UTCI legit ended up hating this game. MJ missions were a rare highlight for me. The ge looks great but the story and dialogue were absolutely horrible, I just wanted it to be over by the end. I really hate Insomniacs version ok NY, it's not cool at all lol it sucks.

2023-11-12 09:39:56 +0000 UTCSuch a great episode and one of the reasons I decided to join the patreon after a couple of months listening to the pod. Can’t really say I really agreed with too much you guys said but that’s why I like this show so much. MJ op missions were amazing imo, and I honestly think making her so op was the reason the missions felt way better in the second game. I hope they go crazy and she gets even more op in the 3rd game lmao.

2023-11-09 21:18:57 +0000 UTCThough I may disagree with some of your points. I do agree on how Miles story could have been better. Not focusing on ideals Insomniac is trying to beat us over the head with, or how funk was the genesis of hip hop and rap! Also the gay couple quest was lame. I feel this discussion didn’t do the game justice, and could skew people’s opinions into think it is way worse of a game than it really is. I don’t think you guys intended on this conversation being overly negative, but it definitely came across that way. Just thinking out loud, I could see how recording and conveying your thoughts in a podcast form could be very difficult as well. Also being in a certain head space can affect how you look at games too. In a long rambling way I guess I’m asking have you guys gone back, and seen content you have made intending it to be one thing, only to regret it because of the overall tone or vibe it put off? Sorry for the grammatical errors if there are any. Thanks for all the content boys!

2023-11-09 19:56:01 +0000 UTCThe best review I can give of this game is that it's my first ever platinum - and I've been a Sony guy since the PS2. In normally like how Dustin described, in terms of not being bothered to clean up trophies and do extra things after I've beat the story in a game - but I found the gameplay so fun in this, that it was no problem at all to keep playing and do everything. Also loved how the open world activities were more organic and not quite as check-listy as the previous games, and the side stuff had really good payoffs.

2023-11-09 12:08:20 +0000 UTCI think the Lizard chase set piece was the coolest part of the game for me

2023-11-09 11:54:54 +0000 UTCThat’s exactly what it is. The director even said on IGN or Kinda Funny that they originally planned to have an MJ motorcycle segment but didn’t have the time. I’m sure the bicycles were put in to test the physics a bit, just at a base level design.

2023-11-08 18:57:06 +0000 UTCI wonder if this is going to be the most commonly achieved AAA Plat ever

2023-11-08 18:48:25 +0000 UTCI have been wondering if they have been developing tech for a motorcycle in Wolverine and wanted to throw in the bicycle sections to “practice” implementing it in a more rudimentary way
