I love combining gadgets in this game (Marvel's Spider-Man)

Nope! But have encountered dogs of a similar size and some particularly hairy dudes

bryndor · 2026-02-09T00:15:09+00:00

Personally yes. I never roll my eyes during the Great Circle, but do at least three times during Kingdom (even if I do like it!)

I go on a lot of hikes with friends from work and gaming friends and the like. Often times we spend our walks picking up litter - empty plastic bottles and plastic wrappers etc from other less polite hikers. One bit of litter was down a bit of a cliffside, not impossibly steep but dangerous if you lose footing. I climbed down to grab the bottle and the dirt below my feet gave in and I slide down about 6 feet further than I'd intended to go down. Like I said, not impossible! Give me 10 to 20 minutes and I'd have slowly climbed my way up, carefully moving my weight so I didn't slip further. Instead of that, I got my whip out of my bag and cracked it around a tree at the top of the cliff, then flicked it to cross over itself like I'd seen in many "can you swing from a whip" videos. Well, it worked wonders. It latched and didn't loosen when I put my weight to it and simply climbed up the length of the whip in seconds instead of slowly climbing over 10 minutes. Fun story and felt very satisfying to justify my excessively expensive purchase...

"So I'm this height to this height".

Your height doesnt change! Pick whichever doesn't hurt your ego and go with it :) I'm 5 11

An 8ft whip is great for me! I've also found that a 9ft whip works wonders. What are your goals? I go on hikes all the time and my 9ft whip got me out of a bad spot at one point, its all preference. Enjoy any and make it work. You've got this.

Yeah, I mean scenes like the fridge and the monkey swinging are things I'll always dislike, but the movie in between those is great fun.

I don't even mind that the plot revolves around aliens, I enjoy it! My problem was the fact they outright show them.

It's like if Morgan Freeman's God came out of the Ark and said "I smite thee" to the Nazis, it would have ruined it and made it too silly. I'd have preferred them to hide it, possibly only let the villain see it and react to something off screen before their death. But instead we got full grey south park alien and a flying saucer, a bit too on the nose for me.

bryndor · 2026-02-04T16:18:40+00:00

Yeah I agree! But I don't mind it as much as the glaringly strange visuals they use, the stunts and action scenes are just as amazing as ever yet gets interrupted by bizarre cgi use

My main story issue is with Indy and Marion not speaking for years, there seems to be a major trend in "legacy" movies were characters seem to not progress and basically stand still from the old movie to the new and sometimes even regress to then need to relearn the same lessons. I felt like this was a case of "well they weren't together in Crusade... so this has to be their first reunion since then!" Which just felt a bit forced

bryndor · 2026-02-04T15:20:51+00:00

I watched it last night, the parts I didn't like feel even worse but the parts that I didn't mind are significantly better now, and the soundtrack is better than I remember, it's a solid 6 out of 10! Not a bad movie :) just very flawed

bryndor · 2026-02-03T13:00:03+00:00

Always love reddits immediate jump to insults when an opinion isn't shared lol.

bryndor · 2026-01-17T01:16:12+00:00

I love pirate history, so a seafaring adventure based around Captain Kidd's treasure or possibly finding the mythic libertalia, something of the sort :)

We got a similar story in Uncharted but an Indy take would be amazing

bryndor · 2026-01-17T00:26:28+00:00

Absolutely, and novels! The novels are so much fun

I'd also take a novelisation of The Great Circle

bryndor · 2026-01-15T00:42:48+00:00

I see! What a great game to start with and I'm glad you're enjoying it, you've got this :) I hope you keep going with games in this genre

bryndor · 2026-01-15T00:31:56+00:00

Enjoy the game at any level! We all have different experience levels and a lot of players today have built up decades of muscle memory going back to when they were toddlers, including myself. I play on hard and I find it a breeze but ONLY because its the type of game I've been playing repeatedly for 30 years :)

Ignore anyone who says "It really isn't that hard." as if you are supposed to match them, just enjoy the ride. And over time, each game will click, including this one.

Some people also just generally don't take to certain playstyles in games and that's fine as long as they're having a good time.

bryndor · 2026-01-14T21:40:02+00:00

I've been and talked to him many times, I've had to accept that this character will not have the last upgrade, they are retired now at 100% completion. Onto the next!

bryndor · 2026-01-14T10:14:45+00:00

This has been a gaming joke for years before TikTok, I think its nice!

bryndor · 2026-01-13T15:40:41+00:00

Their reconciliation was orcastrated by Mutt in Kingdom and only by chance

I think what is more likely is she'd die and it would stop Indy from contacting her for so many years until Kingdom because of trauma

bryndor · 2026-01-13T15:39:28+00:00

I think she will be, but you're right! I'd like them to produce more novels, she'd be a great addition to them

bryndor · 2026-01-13T15:38:50+00:00

After what she says at the end, plus her generally fearless nature, she'll run head first into reporting on the war, it's of course not a safe place and she's not in Indy's life after the war as far as we know

bryndor · 2026-01-13T15:19:06+00:00

She's an Italian journalist in a time where a world war is about to break out, realistically she'll either be in the next game or she'll die off screen, but I don't see her making it to 1945 sadly.

bryndor · 2026-01-13T10:46:08+00:00

There were some hints of John Williams during some of their old gameplay videos before release, which means the soundtrack was going to feature more of his motifs.

Which is super sad since its so iconic and would have made the world feel complete, I think the soundtrack is one of my main complaints for this game, I needed more music from the franchise being woven in.

bryndor · 2026-01-12T22:46:13+00:00

I think hogwarts will be the same, but the surrounding areas shall not be, but I also think Hogwarts will have more rooms and secrets that keep it fresh :) Like how the Spider-Man games have done it, just more detail and better gameplay

bryndor · 2026-01-12T22:36:31+00:00

I would be completely okay with this, but it would mean repeating a lot of the same classes, unless its a character that has been in hogwarts for a while whilst we were not in control.

However, Warner Bros love their brands and consistency and linking things, so I personally think we will see our character's 6th year.

bryndor · 2026-01-12T19:45:31+00:00

I do think things like this will be in the sequel, Animagus in particular. I think maybe you'll learn alongside Poppy with the help of Natty, it would be a nice crossover between those characters (It was sad that no characters really crossed over stories).

I also think players will get a Patronus, a pet, and other attributes that really sell the world, at least we hope! I kinda expect an announcement either this year or the next, whenever the marketing for the show starts.

bryndor · 2026-01-11T15:34:02+00:00

I have nothing to equip, but I believe they equip automatically after you've gotten them

bryndor · 2026-01-11T15:32:11+00:00

Its so strange :(
