The traversal is superb. You can spend a long time just swinging around and when you get a certain rhythm going it's bliss. It's easy to pick up, but there's a little learning curve to the swinging just in terms of perfecting it and making it as smooth as possible.
My big fear is that (apart from swinging) free roam will be limited.
Well there is a lot to do, but it's whether you enjoy the things there is to do is the question i suppose.

Yeah that's something i was saying above. The swinging is easy to get into, but there's a learning curve to getting it nailed down. But it's so good when you do, that i don't mind getting all the towers (which i would normally hate).
RDR2 I'll be getting on day 1, I seriously can't wait for that.
It's basically inFamous/Prototype meets Batman Arkham games. I'm going to get bored of it quickly, but that's more due to me not really having the attention span for this kind of game than the game itself which is decent enough plus these things can't really help getting repetitive fast. The swinging is fun and well done though, I've had a blast with that part so far.
Keeps the shops who sell physical copies from becoming redundant.
I’m kinda a decent way in. It’s kept me interested but I’ve also been doing a lot of the collectibles. The research labs are always a bit different so it’s been switching it up a lot so far. Not too repetitive yet.
I think it's important to switch things up so you don't get too fatigued with one particular thing. Personally i've been doing some story missions mixed with some side quests to keep things fresh.
Is that even in Sony's interest?
A lot of consoles sold are from brick and mortar stores so Sony want to keep them sweet.
Postponing the inevitable if you ask me...
What Damo said. Plus, if we’re being a little pessimistic they have no impetus to lower prices. There’s no digital competition - they won’t have to worry about ‘stock’ compared to stores and their need to sell out.
Think the impulse to buy games is stronger online. If you go full digital you can lower prices and increase volume and hopefully (for them) profit too. Lower prices doesn't have to be bad for the seller.
Yep, it's basically Arkham games/Shadow of mordor like that. It's easy to get the timing down after a short while.
He’s a radioactive spider man.Did Spiderman kill people? I see lots of thugs getting thrown off buildings, ledges. Having big, heavy objects thrown at them. Also a bit weird that nobody ever seems to be hurt, they can have cars, huge chunk of concrete all kinds of shit and yet they all just walk away.
It's pretty stupid. But looks beautiful and fun to play. Just moments like the above take you out of the immersion at times.
Doesn't matter, you get immersed playing Skyrim despite it being a fantasy game with magic and dragons.
It’s not a like for like copy but it’s pretty close. I don’t live there but I visited last year and the landmarks are pretty much where I’d expect them to be. The freedom tower seems to either be moved more to the coast or just not there, haven’t figured it out yet. They’ve added other canon shit like the Avengers tower.
From what I have read, you are free to move through the story at your own pace - which I like. I'm wanting to unlock the towers first too - and then get backpacks when they are closeby to them. Of course - when I hear there is an emergency I head to that - as I feel bad if I don't respond!
