Friendly - easy
Amazing - normal because that is orginal
Spectacular - hard
Wonder if there will be a future DLC for Superior with Doc Oc as the voice.

Thanks! I have been on the fence with his title. With so many sports games being released at one time, I might have to wait until Christmas to get it.

How the heck do you take photos? I pulled up photo mode, messed around with every setting but still couldn't find the button to actually save the picture.

Getting a CE-34878-0 error on this game. Anyone has a solution to it?

I like that there are a lot of side things. Been focused on doing those. They don’t feel like a chore, plus it helps build up the character in the long run. Although some of Harry’s ones were frustrating at first.
Does anyone know how you “find out” when there are more of those circuit/spectrometry things available in the lab? I’m guessing it’s after each Act.

What skills do you all recommend upgrading first? The swing technique?

I concentrated on most of the combat/focus related skills. Swinging helped me later for side missions that relied on a lot of chasing.

I noticed at the bottom right of the screen when you're looking at the different suits it displays stats but they don't change at all no matter what suit you select. What an I'm missing?

I just started playing today and the game is fantastic. Pretty much everything you would want from a Spiderman game. The side stuff is addicting, I think I only played through one story mission so far.

Played a little bit. I really like it so far. It's basically Arkham Spidey. I was prepared to fully hate the new costume but I thought it played well and made story sense so it didn't bother me that much. I think the two big gripes I have so far is in having to do the little mini-game to unlock the towers. I also think the contents of the backpacks are stupid. I would prefer to have something like what The Amazing Spiderman games did, which is have unlockable comics you can read or similar things.
Overall though, I really like this game. With how good this game and the Batman games have been, I hope that means developers take more chances bringing other superheroes to gaming.

I've unlocked like 15 different suits and I still stick with the red and white. I just really like the look of it.

I've been going back and forth between the red and white suit, the classic, and the Iron Spider for the most part. A lot of the ones are interesting to see, but I don't like the look of them swinging around

Yeah, I stick to the classic. Would be cool to have the corny looking Nicholas Hammond one, as well as an original one with the arm webs.

Finished this up...got my plat..
I would give the game a solid 8. Visually it is stunning. The sound design might be the best I have ever heard in a game.
Pros:
Movement is amazing. By the end of the game, you truly feel like Spiderman with the ability to move around at amazing speeds.
Combat is fun. It is not as polished as Batman, but much more complex and takes longer to master.
The gadgets and suit powers. I loved messing around with them.
Some amazing set-piece moments in the main story missions.
Negatives:
The side distractions/missions. Some of the actual "side-missions" were ok, but the overwhelming number or repetitive garbage was shocking. This is a problem with almost every open world game, and it usually is only a problem if you are a trophy/achievement whore, but in this game it is harder to accept because the side distractions are required to unlock new suits, powers, gadgets and upgrades. There are only so many times I have to stop a car, or chase a drone before it becomes boring. The game teases new suits and powers and then says "hey do these 365 random crime missions if you want to try them all out" HUGE mistake on their part.
Every time you are playing the game as another character sucked. Minor spoiler about this
a slightly larger spoiler for one of these missions
Overall better than the last Batman game, but not even close to the first two Rocksteady games. I deleted the game as soon as I finished, and have no desire to play any dlc or new game plus. The second Rocksteady Batman game had me playing a second time on new game plus with no hesitation.

I actually agree with both of your points...esp the second one.

Finished! First ever platinum. Overall, I think it's a very good game but not necessarily a great one despite all the time I put in to it. Fun and easy to play gameplay mechanics, but like I said before (and didn't get much better the more I played) the side missions get tedious and repetitive. Some of the main story missions are cliched and an annoyance, and the overall story line is really predictable. I felt like the experience in God of War was more impressive.
That said, enjoyed some of the MJ/Peter moments. And the inclusion of so many Spider-Man characters and little factoids/easter eggs was nice to see in the game.
Like foxdvd, i'm not really sure how much I care about the DLC.
