How did Insomniac go from making such a mediocre game like this to a great Spider-Man game?

>Good game bad, bad game good
Low quality

Sunset Overdrive is not fun and has reddit-tier writing. How is it good? I played it and did not enjoy it at all

Microsoft is a bad publisher that lets their studios do whatever they want and doesn't provide any guidance or help.

Honestly, some of the design choices in this game feels Microsoft driven.

>Not Fun
Retard. Good gameplay, level design and weapon variety
>reddit-tier writing
It is not pretentious and does not try to be a "borderlands crazy" like

I honestly had more fun with Sunset Overdrive than Spiderman. Both a good games, but Spider Man was less fun to play than grinding everywhere and killing stuff with crazy weapons. The story was kinda cringe, but it really didn't bother me. I find Borderlands more offensive than this.

>some of the design choices in this game feels Microsoft driven.

Microsoft literally had 'Humor Consultants' inserted into the dev team

I got this game for free and played it for like 20 minutes and gave up on it. Its such mindless shit. Even when I got it for free I hated it.

It literally has "zany" fourth wall jokes and a character literally says they were checking reddit. It's reddit-tier writing at it's highest

>literally
>zany
>tier
Zig Forums addicts are so samey.

Cope more, faggot

>but Spider Man was less fun to play than grinding everywhere and killing stuff with crazy weapons.
Web swinging is insanely kino. Are you retarded?

Sony funding

Eh, sunset overdrive is alright. The movement system was fun, a third person shooter with a focus on dodging over taking cover was cool. The mechanics weren't new but this specific combination was fresh. They could have cut a bunch of the minor up grade systems like kill X of an enemy for 5% damage against then in the future or the weapon levelling, use that time elsewhere.

So, gameplay wise it was fine. Art style ranges from acceptable to enjoyably stupid and the music is up to if you like hearing the same six punk songs or not.

Even the biggest flaw, the writing, was only really bad when they leaned too hard into the meme culture of the time. The larpers were fun for example.

Point is that it was not outstandingly good or bad.

It's like a 5/10 at most

>The movement system was fun
It feels like it takes a backseat to some things. Also, it feels like you're meant to be moving faster, but they make you move slower for some reason.

based gaem desu

>It is not pretentious and does not try to be a "borderlands crazy" like
did you not play the game?

>Cope
Jesus these NPCs sure are annoying

insomniac hasn't made a good game in more than a decade

Don't you need to go back to plebbit and post about your "epic" own of someone talking shit about a game you like?

Spiderman is literally filler the game. WTF was even that story

I guess the same way Rocksteady went from making Urban Chaos: Riot Response to making the best superhero games of all time.

It is. Outside that and main missions, i found the side content repetitive af. I had no pleasure going side missions to side missions even if the web swinging was good, outside that the gameplay was okay at best.

Now I enjoyed Spider Man, but Sunset Overdrive caught me by surprise and I had tons of fun with it, it's fast speed and technical. Of course it is repetitive also and cringy most of the time (again, I find Borderland more offensive on that end).

GOOD GOD OH MIGHTY... THESE GAMES BE SHIT. ZOOMERS LMAO. I'M GONNA PLAY UP YOUR ARSENAL. KYS!

>Microsoft literally had 'Humor Consultants' inserted into the dev team
Holy shit, is this actually true?

Insomniac games are boring to me, I enjoyed Infamous 1 but every game afterwards felt like a souless copy including this game, literary beat the tutorial level and just uninstalled it because I couldn't take it.

Yeah, like a slow motion JSRF

This a joke? They meddle with anything they fund. They were a big influence over Dead Rising 3 and 4 and were partially the reason why those games were a mess.

This game is reddit incarnate. Off yourself
>but spiderman bad because sony commiefornia
double off yourself

I don’t recall Microsoft having any input in DR4, or at least they weren’t responsible for the game being as shit as it was.

Infamous 1 is Sucker Punch.

Who are you responding to?
