That's what I feared.I for one just powered through it all by hammering the skip button and picking the conveniently highlighted dark side options. Even then it really bogs the game down though, you'll have to put up with it between every mission for a long while.Or am I going to have to listen to embarrassing ass dialogue for the rest of the game, where every character is some form of Spiderman/Deadpool snark, and every other dialogue line is a clumsy ass attempt to shoehorn in a reference to the comics.
Second question then, is it worth it in the end?
The trouble is the advice to skip through doesn't always work because you get decent passive bonuses from building "friendshp" by talking to the various heroes, so if you want those you do have to pay a bit of attention now and then.
It does get a little bit better as the story goes on, the backstory has a kind of eldritch vast-time-spanning, famous-things-interlinking aspect to it that's quite comic-bookey, if you ever liked that aspect of comics, but it only ever reaches up to the level of being mildly interesting sometimes, and the friendship dialogues are mostly unbearably twee and only very occasionally tug at the heartstrings.
Again, really the problem is the taint of the "feel" of the MCU on the thing, which is really a kind of albatross around the neck of the game. (As I said in my first impressions above, I wisht it had the superhero characters written as they were in the last heyday of comic books, up to about the mid 80s and early 90s, say.)
Also it's quite annoying that you can't really have the absolute "classic" costumes (I believe there's a mod for the classic spidey outfit, but that's about it). It's all kevlar style shit from the movies, and variations on that theme.
