Midnight

Anybody else buy this game? Thoughts?

web of intrigue is annoying, the people you need to absorb appear at awkward times and usually explode the second before you can get to them, or appear when you're chasing a helicoptor... not that they're needed, 90% of them give you no information atall, and the important ones just appear in the storyline.
side missions are tedious but thats ok cos they're 100% ignorable.
mid level powers are stupidly more usefull than end game powers, some of which are so incredibly situational you may never use (elbow drop, mid air uppercut, moves like that)
hammerfist is ok when you only have claws but gets no power ups till all your other powers are available, and therefore you wont use it after you get the ground spike power for claws which will instantly take out vehicles, which is the only reason you were using the hammer for in the first place.
muscle mass also useless, because the only time it's usefull to throw things ther'll be enemy vehicles bearing down on you, and you can drive a tank before getting muscle mass, so just steal one of those instead.
stealth is fun, and patsy is hilarious, untill endgame where every vehicle can detect you and super soldiers "just know"

basicly, once you get the sword arm and armor, thats your melee, whip arm for stealing vehicles or crowd control of low level enemies. upgrade your health, devestators (not that stupid kamahameha style one, thats single direction, easily dodged and low level damage >_>) jump power, speed, and air dash / glide, a couple of the moves (enough to entertain but not enough that your wasting points) get the disguise bits, if you really want to, raid bases for vehicle skill (why would you need weapon skill when you're overpowered anyway) and then follow the story, get to the end, it offers you to restart but keeping all your powers, but again, why would you want to...

alternatively just buy infamous

I'm considering this one since it came out for windows (unlike infamous) but the meh response everyone is giving it means I'll wait until the price drops. In all honesty it does sound like a game I will enjoy a lot but I've learned that I dont need to buy every game when I'm already playing other stuff.

I`ve finished it last night, I would recommend it all in all. Gets really repetative after a while, but its fun.

Alphanaut

Gameplay wise, it's as if they gave Venom a game, but the execs were unsure if people would know who that was (either from lack of exposure or from blocking out Spiderman 3), and slapped a new identity on him.
What do ya' know? I've got a yahoo group! Check it out, man!
