Story is very bad in this game

[AerialComb]

My only complain with the game is that story wise, is pretty bad even for super hero game.
All villains are one dimensional and underdeveloped, and there is a lack of background information to tell you why characters are acting that way. There is not a single reason why Li is killing innocent by standards, except to stick it to Osborn. I dont understand why he did not just go after him in the first place before everything started could have been a lot easier to get the GR-27 when there was less protection. Also, How did Octavius so easily get to free all the villains, specially Electro, why did no one notice Electro was missing from the prison, he was already wearing the new suit that Dr. Octavius made for him. Also, SABLE mercenary group? are they even serious, the USA would never allowed a mercenary group to have operations in their territory, so this is pretty dumb.

Also the Osborn character is underdeveloped, you have no insight why this guy is suppose to be so evil, except the fact he was trying to cure his wife and someone else.

The game has so many bad plot holes that is not even funny. so once you finish the game it does not make much sense why everything happen the way it did. To me feels like the story is very thin with no substance to it.

It's a comic book story. They're never that deep.

Read up on Blackwater, now Constellis, and lets see who feels dumb then...

True. Comics are written for children and teenagers. Their characters' motivations will always be one dimensional and underdeveloped. That's specifically why I usually avoid Marvel entertainment.

It's just best if you turn your brain off and enjoy it as a fun game about swinging around and beating people up.

He is the only character in the game besides spider man that has a little bit more background info, that is why i did not mention him. But still pretty bad from my point of view, when Osborn develop the GR-27 both were on the same team when Li got his powers, so I failed to understand how is he so angry at Osborn when himself belong to the same project, and there is no other indicators to which Osborn is responsible for Dr. Octavius failures. It seems his anger is just a tantrum because Osborn is just more succesful, which is pretty lame because he almost destroy the city for it.

Literally the plot of Breaking Bad, just executed in a much less elegant way. Octavius is extremely prideful and has had Osborn step on his advancements time and time again. This has made him resent Osborn over the years. Also, to be fair, Osborn is a lying scumbag as is any political candidate.

Now imagine instead of watching Walter White delve deeper into a criminal life, gradually excusing his actions as self-preservation or raising money to take care of his family, he attached a magic computer chip to his brain that turned him into a super villain.

For me it was too fast. We see Otto few times and then he is this criminal mastermind? I would love to interact with him more, more learn more about him etc. We got only few cutscenes and some voice messages and that is all? Osborn was automatically evil because he is politician. Ok. Martin Li was evil because reasons and his revenge didn't make much sense (why he was waiting for Fisk to be gone? He could easily overpowerred his goons with demons and he was also very strong). As for others villains, there was potencial, but in my mind it was more fan service than anything else. I just hoped for Otto to be involved in all three acts and just making step after step into madness and revenge. And we interact with Li even less, so... Yeah, it wasn't that good. But it is still enjoyable game.

I'll never understand threads like this... Comic Books typically aren't known for having well-written storylines, and the few that are known for such are only considered well-written by comic book standards,

It has nothing to do with them being written for children or teens either, it's merely because there's realistically-speaking only so much story that you can fit into a foxtrot above a characters head in terms of dialog, exposition boxes, or panels consisting of still images. Furthermore, the media leaves very little to the imagination because it's a fully illustrated medium with limited text.
So yeah, even comic books/graphic novels written for adult audiences aren't particularly well-written, in fact many of them can actually be worse because in all honesty they're just the same exact sorts of stories you seen in comics made for children or young adults with content such as cursing, gore, or sexual imagery thrown in.

Lastly, Marvel's Spider-Man is a videogame, and any good video game focuses more on gameplay than storytelling because it doesn't matter how excellent your story is if your game is unfun to play and therefore nobody can bear to finish it. Yes, there are absolutely games with good stories and gameplay, but they're generally original creations rather than adaptations of existing works, so they don't have to adhere to any form of source material without running the risk of alienating the fanbase like this game does.

So there you go, the story really couldn't have been much better, it serves its purpose adequately, and the core gameplay is the meat of the game just as it should be.
If you don't like the story, then what can I tell you? Don't buy the upcoming Miles Morales expansion or the sequel, that's for sure.

what demographic do you think comic books have

[CacaFresca]

This guy, and the guy who wants the web swinging to be ultra realistic need to have their own thread where they can discuss the shortcomings of a superhero game based off of comics.

Also, anyone who wants more realism with going on dates with MJ and washing clothes are welcome to join.
