The Stealth-Missions are just terrible!

[ZeldaGrossmeister]

I never would have thought, that I would say this but: I really despise every single stealth mission in this game!

Whoever thought this was a good idea, let me tell you it wasn't and you can just rot down in hell! You have to do this crap with Spider-Man, with Miles and even more often with MJ. And ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the missions with MJ are the worst! None of them had been fun, it was just god awful.

If you make just a tiny mistake, you will get caught. The enemies can spot you from so far away it's ridiculous. Starting from the MJ section in the museum up to the very end in the penthouse, nothing of this had been fun. It was frustrating, I had no clue were I had to go and failed most of the stealth missions many times in a row. How are you supposed to lure the guards away, when there are tons of them everywhere? You just managed to sneak around one guard, only to get spotted by another. ♥♥♥♥ this!

And then, the absolute worst part in the entire game for me: This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bomb at the train station! Holy cow who's idea was that? I had to watch a video how you're supposed to deactivate the bomb, because I had no clue. The game doesn't even tell you how to do it! And you have a very short time limit which made this mission a real pain in the ass. Since when does MJ know how to disamble a bomb? And since when do I have to do this in a Spider-Man game? Huh?

It doesn't matter which mission it was, every single time you had to sneak around as Spider-Man, Miles or MJ it was just super annoying. The game doesn't tell you where to go next and sometimes the AI is just too dumb to act in a proper way. Heck, when I throw something to lure the enemy away you'd better be moving your fat ass you idiot! Sheesh!

I agree that the stealth missions in the game are trash. It's so boring, samey, generic, and bland. The game lacks depth imo. All the side missions are garbage too. Not the main blue ones but the side activities are terrible for the same reasons stated above. The combat is shallow also.

The Batman Arkham series is 10x better than this game. I am trying to finish this game up and move on. After having played this slop, I am not buying any more Spider-man games from now on. The writing is the only decent thing about the game. Also, the web-slinging gets boring after a while and loses its luster.

I don't know how this game got such praise. Then again. most people have low standards, expectations, and tastes. It's easy to please the dregs/masses of society. People will like anything these days.

It seems to sometimes be a rut sony gets stuck in with their games. Like how many of their games anymore tell you instantly how to solve puzzles. It's like someone comes up with some really bad idea and it just spreads through all their devs.

Though there is nothing worse I've played so far than the whole Yak part of GOWR. I'll take these garbage stealth missions over that any day of the week.

Why don't you READ what people are saying? No one is talking about difficulty.

[Crimp]

Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of them. It just slowed down the game to a halt. Having fun, having fun, having fun, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I'm MJ AGAIN?!

I want to play video games but not as a young woman without superpowers. with superpowers, sure but come on.... she is boring.

[joridiculous]

every single MJ mission was a$$
A trainer is neat for fast forward those boring missions.

OP literally listed several instances where it was hard and/or frustrating, but Niliu said it was the easiest part of the game. And they were. A lot of the damn challenges made me want to pull my hair out with having to get all these particular accomplishments... but those "stealth" missions were a breeze.

But everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, deal-breakers, etc. I guess I've just had so much experience in stealth games that these just seem so cheap and cheesy, I didn't even think twice about them and did them zoned-out I guess. They are quite easy overall.

Overall the stealth isn't quite good in this game.
The most obvious stealth is MJ/Miles missions. I didn't mind them. But it's very rudimentary. Those are hallway missions, and AI is terrible.
Then there is the stealth with Spiderman. And this bad. Gameplay isn't made for it. And the game is scripted anyway, in the bases for example when you have only 3 guys left, they automatically see you, no matter what you do. So it's definitely not made for stealth.

He listed where it was frustrating because of the BAD design. There is a distinct difference here. The stealth missions are ez af and boring af. It does slow down the game to a grinding halt. These idiotic devs decided to make some design choices for this game. I mean, just look at the side activities ffs lol. So it comes to design more than the sake of difficulty alone.

If you say so, but I walked through those areas without much difficulty. Sounds like OP just isn't used to stealth in general, or at least at putting in the effort to figure out the stealth mechanics of the game. They are easily some of the most simplistic I've seen. But oh well, everyone has their speedbumps in life.

Yes, I hate stealth mechanics with a burning passion. I haven't played a single game where the devs did this right. No matter what game, I always hated doing them. Doesn't have to be an Action Game like Spider-Man, it just super annoying no matter what. I just don't like sneaking around, it's just a lazy ass game design choice.
