90% sure Spider-Man 1 was in the 30-40 range after 3 months.

If it does well there will be one.
I mean, the game is about 10/11 hours long. 6 hours cutscenes, and about 4/5 hours gameplay. (Not including side stuff)
But I saw a streamer I watch platinum it pretty quick. Did it in 2 sessions, under 20 hours I think.
I think the bug I saw the most was him clipping into buildings and trucks when swinging.
I personally could've seen this game be a 2024 title but Sony HAD to release something this year otherwise they would've had nothing, so I think they pushed real hard to get it out when they did.

I always wonder how people get to those bugs. They must be terrible players so they do some stuff that causes it. Hilarious some are though. Only real bug so far I encountered was a NPC standing in a T-pose on top of a building somewhere. Nothing like the examples in this thread so far.

You're probably right. The game gets frustrated with low skill players and just shits itself in protest.

Ive played a little and so far:
- Stuck in geometry a few times.
- crashed into a bridge while swinging and got stuck inside the cement lol
- floating molotov cocktail mid air that followed me for a while
- enemies standing still during combat
It's definitely buggy... although it hasnt hindered my enjoyment of it yet.

I’ve played a ton of the game and I’ve only had minor bugs like clipping which is in line with the previous Spiderman game. Hyperbole thread is hyperbole.

OK, guess it varies between countries then. In Sweden, new PS5 games cost around $75 and they don't drop for a long time. Spider-Man 1 was for PS4 though and the game prices have increased significantly here with the PS5, and the prices don't drop as quickly. Whatever, this was quite OT.

Not to discount Nintendo, but apples and oranges. Comparing a tightly crafted 2D-style experience with an open world title isn't really a fair. There is so much more that can go wrong with a game like Spiderman.

But did reviewers even finish Spider-Man? We're not hearing about how buggy it is until normal people got their hands on the game.

Yeh sure, if these "normal people" are limited to certain circles and echo chambers.

It's the only example where its remotely compareable, but for all the praise tok got for running without bugs you saw people having minor issues anyway.

Is that the new overrated argument?

Ive been playing for like 10 hours and it’s been a blast. In fact Miles Morales was much worse at release.

Bugs galore, quite apt for a 'spider'-man game.
Here's what I have come across:
-Mobs AI not working, they just ignore my presence.
-Enemies getting stuck in water so cannot compete task.
-Spider robot thing getting stuck in vent walls (happened three times)
-feet not touching pedals in the bike ride with Harry.
-lots of Spiderman and NPC clipping
-texture shimmering
seems QA was rushed or ignored to achieve a release and marketing date.
Currently at 62% completion.

Too bad. Guess it’s a good thing I’ll have to wait a bit more then so they can iron it out.
Most of the things I’ve seen have been funny stuff/harmless though. But if there’s crashes and bugs that result in being unable to complete objectives that really sucks. Surprised to hear that tbh.

So this is coping?
It seems like the people who actually own the system and are playing the game are running into this stuff while those who don't actually have a PS5 and aren't really playing the game are the ones in a "echo chamber".

^pretty much,
myself, i've only been able to play about 30 mins so far, and it was a great time, but that's probably going to be as long as i can get in for a good few days

Between this and the inclusive butchering of the language, it seems Insomniac really hates its Spanish speaking audience.
If you dont think I have a PS5 or this game....I dont what else to say. But I guess the ppl having issues outweighs those of us that dont.
Cool.
And I guess you are implying we have another situation of reviewers pulling a Cyberpunk 2077 and turning a blind eye to issues....huh.

If you enjoy the first one? NO! Spider-Man 2 has a lot of improvement. Plus you play two Spider-Man Characters.

Never compared it to Cyberpunk. But I don't trust reviewers to put more than 8 hours into a game these days.

I had these 3, two crashes, spinning fixed itself after a few seconds thankfully and a brightly glowing Spider-Man (I took a screenshot, might upload it).
Also had weird film grain, turned it down to 2.
Didn't have these.
I know you didnt, I used that as an example of reviewers vs general public.
Again, I guess the reviews of the game are now questionable? Or do reviewers usually not count issues in their reviews, because I swore they did for Forbidden West and Days Gone.

He thinks like if some weird stuff happen in one playthrough that it means it's generally like that. Like I said totk got praised for being bugfree. Go to YouTube it isn't.

Playing for 10 hrs only encountered like 3 or 4 bugs (Enemies got stuck outside the building). Restart last checkpoint fixed it.

Yes I did enjoy the first one a lot. A couple of bugs won't destroy the game for me. Although I do hope they are fixed soon.

Not a fan of the insomniac spider man games, I feel they turned it to a movie game and the combat is watered down for casuals where one button does the moves for you(automated). Also the villains look generic and not like how they are supposed to like in the comics. The spiderman games from ps1 and ps2 are way better.

Mario Wonder is not open world though.. so is less buggy compare to open world games like RDR,GTA,Spider-Man Etc...
