A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Bought it last night cause I've been waiting patiently for it to come to PC. I thought I'd have a relatively smooth time if I played on the lowest settings possible...

Nope. Audio way out of sync, constant freezes during cutscenes and the models were all fucked during, too. When I finally got to the gameplay, it would stop to load in the environment like every ten feet or so. I was extremely disappointed, but not entirely surprised.

My rig is about 5 years old at this point too.

Decided to refund it until it's more stable/goes on sale.

I got it working well on Linux, wonder if it runs better than on Windows lol

I just started playing Spider-Man 2
For the pS2. It's pretty fun

Was that the one with the wrestling ring minigame? That game was so fun

I don't remember that. But it's the only one with realistic web swinging

Love it. That one was in my rotation until the ps4 spidey came out. Thank god the Xbox version was backwards compatible on the 360.

To hell with that kid’s lost balloon.

When a console exclusive ports to PC, it resets the clock....

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right? I had the same thought reading the post

Not just because of bugs either, pretty sure that shit is like $60 on steam.

I was a little worried about this, but I recently decided to say fuck it and buy it anyway. The game has been really smooth for me. I have only had one crash so far too in about 6 hours of play time. I'm getting a solid 80-90 frames per second with a 4070 super and a ryzen 5600x. Ray tracing and other graphics set to high. It has been really fun and worth it to me so far.

The port is a mess but I’m lucky I only get the crashes and none of the other bugs (except one occurrence of audio being fucked). Turning off ray tracing completely eliminated crashes for a while but now it’s back to crash city regardless of graphics settings.

Come on, y’all. This thing just dropped. Hold!!
