Yeah, chases are my biggest flaw in the game. The drones I just did to get do the challenge. I'm amazed if I get a silver in a drone challenge. I also keep getting hit by gunfire when chasing cars cause I'm concentrating on swinging and going the direction the car is going. But I'm awesome when just swinging and my spider sense goes off.
I've learned to rely more on the 2 web zips than swinging. But that may just be me being further in the game. You kinda slow down just swinging.
I had the day off yesterday and gave this game an ultimatum (or maybe it was that I gave one to myself): I'm going to try chasing down the Shocker ten more times. If I can't make it, that's it--the game gets traded in at Gamestop so I get a discount on Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. Relived to say I finally succeeded after two tries. Because remember, I suck.

When I 1st did it I kept falling behind. But yeah, it takes practice. All I'm doing is the traverse benchmarks and sometimes redoing the bases for the combat benchmarks. Doing all the zip to point launches and wall runs to quick turns, wondering why I was messing up so much. lol But, then again, I've been doing the same things repeatedly so I got better.
Oh and since I've been doing the skimmer benchmark (swinging really close to the ground) I've learned that you go fast if you do half swings. Don't do the full arc.

Finished the main story...and about 80% overall. Great fun. I am tho finding it less appealing to play now that I’ve finished the main story so my recommendation is if you are a completionist or want to do most of the side missions...do as many as you can in between main story missions.

Even though I still haven't finished it, when compared to Batman Arkham, the world itself is drastically better than anything seen in a Batman game.
On the other hand the combat is better in Batman I think. The stealth much better as well. Not that the stealth is bad in Spider-man but it's a lot more simplistic and easy in comparison.

I prefer the Spider-Man world to Batman’s because I just don’t like games that are so focused on night time and darkness. I have a hard enough time seeing enemies as it is.

Finished the story and platinumed it.
9/10
The best Spider-Man game since Spider-Man 2 back on the PS2. A damn near masterpiece! Marvel breaking free of activision and handing it over to Insomniac Games is easily the best decision the company has ever made and Sony is obliviously enjoying the exclusive game for their system. This was a big win for all parties involved! A damn near masterpiece!
I can't wait to see where they go with this with a sequel!
Hopefully Square Enix Avengers game delivers!

You're not being as sneaky as you are in a Batman game. Spider-man is just you going as fast as you can without getting caught. I started a new game just to see how different it was from when I first started. I remember having a little trouble on the Fisk/thugs fight. The second go 'round, I was swinging all over the place and taking people out easily. Spider-man makes itself different by making it an air battle. I even hear thugs say "How are we suppose to do anything to him up there?"

Yeah, stealth is more Batman's thing so there was a ton of variety with it. It's a bit quicker and easier with Spider-man.
I'd say it was too easy though, it even tells you if it's safe or not to stealth attack someone. The guys also don't look up so there's no danger of that either.
Whereas with Batman they had thugs who would look up, they'd destroy the vantage points, thugs who would scramble your Predator vision.
Something to work on for the sequel.

But I think if they add that they have to add in his little known ability to blend into darkness (yes that is one of Spider-man's powers). Nothing else really matters since, well, Spider-man. I think the safe/dangerous thing is because of his spider-sense. I wonder if that's not there on the hard mode. Also there are grenades that scramble the screen when they hit you.

Didn’t think about it until now...and perhaps it’s because of the in game storyline...but they didn’t have the black Spider-Man suit as an option. They had 20 other suits to choose from, everything from his wrestling attire to the iron spider suit...but not that classic black Spider-Man outfit.

They're more than likely going to save it for the sequel. The End Credit scene with the symbiote pretty much confirmed their plans for it

I've got the Platinum on five of those, Spider-man will be the sixth.
I might go for the Bloodborne one next as I got that free off PS Plus.

Finished the game today. Was really good, better than Arkham Knight but probably wouldn't say it was as good as Arkham City.

I hope it ain't too short, like an hour or something. A good solid two hours at least and not with half of it being collectibles either.

I think they're adding new trophies for New Game+ and a new difficulty. I only just platinumed it too. Oh well I might wait a while and do it again next year.
