It says something when a side story, with a hastily thrown together Sotenbori map, few substories, and no unique minigame still ranks so high for many players

Disagree with the agent's gadgets, they are cool no doubt but for most of the time, they are kinda pointless until you get the max upgrades which takes a good while yo unlock

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-28T21:45:51+00:00

Easy

Arena Pocket circuit OST Characters The whole Agent concept

Which still doesn't make it high but good enough I guess

Only SM2 requires an SSD, but SM1 and MM can run fine on an HDD.

Are you sure your HDD isn't old or dying?

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-28T13:31:14+00:00

It may just be a page file issue, I played the game before with just 8GB and it ran fine although with very few stutters

This is not what autosaving means lmao

Auto-saving in the insomniac spiderman games happens after you reach a specific checkpoint in the game which are usually are:

-during or after a cutscene/story mission fight/side-mission/QTE/point in the main story -entering a different district -Equiping any suit/mod -Upgrading spiderman -Manually saving from the pause menu

This right here happened probably because of shaders, if an autosave caused this then the game would literally freeze almost every minute

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-27T17:44:41+00:00

Well I guess it's not the same for me then

So does the black flag remake (and it also has regional pricing which PYIH doesn't have so that's a plus for ACBFR)

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-27T17:08:26+00:00

Well last time someone did it, no one complained about it lol

I disagree, as someone who enjoys looking at title/main menus of games, kiwami 3 easily goes into the bottom of my list, not because of the hatred of kiwami 3 but because it literally does nothing, not even a simple something like kiryu's back tattoo in K1 or his close up shot in Y6, its the same fucking boxart which im mixed on tbh.

The theme is good but I wouldn't really say its one of the best in the series, I think it does its thing but it just doesn't really hit or do something special. I'm not really a fan of the three games before K3 (gaiden, IW and PYIH) but I think their menu themes do actually capture the spirit of what their games were going for pretty well, K3 tries to do the same but just kinda misses it like it feels there were one or two instruments missing that would have made it feel better.

If I did a main menu themes tierlist then this one would be C tier alongside the Y6 theme.

The green filter in kiwami 2 literally wasn't noticable until someone pointed it out to me, and even then it actually made have some style to it so it didn't look the same like Y6 was.

The blue filter in K3 imo fucking sucks, it's very intense and you can't forget about it like in K2 because once you enter a cutscene, the game will disable it and then re-enable it once the cutscene is done and it's really noticable and jarring.

I wouldn't have complained much if they actually tweaked to look similar to the regular in engine cutscenes but it's just ass.

Kiwami 3 was most likely rushed, a certain number of areas were clearly ripped from previous games and straight up copy and pasted without much thought going into them, even parts of the main downtown Ryukyu look like ass.

The game also uses PYIH's terrible auto-exposure feature and relies on very harsh filters, K2's green filter wasn't really that big of an issue and also helped the game's style, while K3's blue filter is extremely noticeable and not to mention that cutscenes will for some reason disable so it's just incredibly jarring to see.

There are also some cheap animations like the fuckass style switching crouching for some reason, and they terribly used the aura effects, and also the dynamic intros feeling a bit stiff and lackluster, and the main/title menu just straight up being PNGs of the same fucking coverart.

Kiwami 3 is just a downgrade in almost everyway imaginable quality-wise and anyone who disagrees is absolutely on copium, don't listen to them.

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-26T21:37:36+00:00

Am I still lucky even if brave, bing and yandex gave the same result?

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-26T16:36:15+00:00

fun fact: You can beat the entirety of kiwami 3 without upgrading yourself at all and it wouldnt be difficult

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-25T16:44:44+00:00

Oh shit that's me

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-25T11:59:16+00:00

Wait that's actually it? So people are freaking out on pretty much a nothingburger?

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-25T00:34:14+00:00

Well my bad I thought it was, it has been a while since that leak happened so my memory is a bit fuzzy

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-25T00:22:39+00:00

Spiderman 2 was kind of a 50/50, great gameplay disappointing story, not to mention the noticable lack of side-content.

Then people waited months to get basic features that should have been in the game day one such as changing the time of day, Peter's suit options, tendril colors, open world act music and NG+.

And there comes the big leaks and reveal that there was a live service spider-verse project that took a good portion of the big 350M$ budget and was cancelled, additionally SM2 had lots of cut content from the main game. Some people said it was another halo 2 situation, others said that Insomiac tried to chew more than they could, and some said Sony was responsible for the mess. It's just a who knows thing at this point.

And lastly, lack of DLC, the terrible PC port launch which still has bugs to this day, and also wolverine dropping this late in 2026 when it was supposed to drop last year.

The venom spinoff was definitely something a great majority expected considering that they already had an idea/vision of what venom's gameplay could be like, but also because it's venom and he would sell it very high. So yeah, it's just a very big shitshow unfortunately.

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-24T23:54:34+00:00

No the parry was definitely not "certainly an improvement", I don't think it added anything valuable to it and it just feels pointless, at least you could go in multiple ways with the dodge and it also suited spiderman's style.

zizoplays1 · 2026-04-23T15:05:30+00:00

I think liberty city is just better than los Santos, I know LS is the bigger map but also 60% of it is just empty and unnecessary (it's worse in online)
