Great breakdown. I think one of the major issues is people not identifying that this is an idealistic version of New York - and even then, the game still tackles the issue fairly well.

I think one of the major issues about this is that it was even a thing. Just proof that people want drama in the video game industry, no matter how dumb the subject.

UnHoly_One2766d ago

Wait a second... So now some people think it's a problem to be friendly with the police?

This country is a disaster.

zaherdab2766d ago

which one ? we don't all live in the same country :/

The7Reaper2766d ago

Well the game takes place in Manhattan in New York City which is a city in the state of New York which is in the USA so hmm... I have no clue which country he means, it's a mystery to me.

zaherdab2766d ago

@the7reaper ... okay mate.
"This country" from my perspective is "That country" but whatever makes u feel extra smart i support your sarcasm 100%

TheColbertinator2766d ago

Police don't have much love in many countries anyway.

Sunny_D2766d ago

It’s probably very rare to find a country where the police aren’t corrupted.

Everyone hates a cop until they need one.

milohighclub2765d ago (Edited 2765d ago )

Some people hate cops no matter. I don't remember the last time i called a cop, however, i do remember been sat out side having a cig wi my girl and armed response rock up sticking an assault rifle in mine and my girls face n forcing us into our house. I'm in the U.K btw, first time I've ever seen a gun in person.

I will never phone the police, instead I'll be a man and solve my own problems.

ShadowWolf7122765d ago

Well when you live in a country where you can be arrested for carrying a pair of scissors...

You have my sympathies. Nanny states suck.

So certain people would rather he was helping criminals?

Figures in this twisted world.

Is too damn good! along side Miles Morales, visuals, gameplay, combat, controls, fun factor, music, sound effects, you name it!. Insomniac created a Masterpiece of a game. :)

TheOptimist1685d ago

I feel that people don't give enough credit for how good Insomniac has written the story.
They smashed it with the narrative.

Yeah the story is very well written. Extremely underrated by most players. Makes no sense to me. It's excellent.

Pretty much the ONLY complaint I had about Spider-Man (Haven’t played MM yet cause I want to play that on PS5) was that the city of New York was a bit boring. I know it’s very authentic and it looks gorgeous in places, and of course it’s a grid-based city with a lot of medium-height high-rise, but I really wish it would have had a bit more diversity & personality between the different neighborhoods/areas. I know it’s pretty much ‘just’ Manhattan, but the devs did such a fantastic job in creating a fun, gorgeous colorful city in Sunset Overdrive, that the realism of Spider-Man’s NY with all the brown buildings felt a little bit underwhelming …

TheOptimist1685d ago

Tbh my issue was the same. The world felt pretty barren besides what they had designed for it.

Germaximus1685d ago

Yup. Both games are a 10/10 and I felt the same way.

Germaximus1685d ago (Edited 1685d ago )

"Do you know the part that I loved the most about the narrative? Something I have rarely seen people talk about?"

Felt the same exact way. Doc Oc's story is so damn good. The entire story is amazing. Good article. Shared and tagged Insomniac on twitter. Hope they see it. =)

TheOptimist1684d ago

The entire story is amazing. One more stand out moment is when Peter is texting MJ when she is annoyed by him. The text pop ups, the stunning shots and the way them talking like two actual people talking felt so Spiderman-esque.

And thank you for the shout out. Much appreciated!

MP1st Top 10 Games of the Generation

The MP1st staff collects votes and picks the top 10 games of this generation, and the winner is something most gamers won't think of as no. 1!

Rebel_Scum1985d ago

The idea of a FPS being #1 on any list makes me cringe.

N2NOther1985d ago

The idea that someone would cringe at an FPS being number one makes me cringe. Especially when they probably haven’t played this game.

excaliburps1985d ago

As what BlackDoom said. Have you even played its campaign? It's one of the best campaign FPS' ever.

MP is A-tier as well. I love God of War 2018, but even I prefer The Witcher 3 to it.

Rebel_Scum1984d ago (Edited 1984d ago )

yeah I played a few hours of it.
