Spider-Man General Discussion

[ImmortalDread]

When I check Amazon it's only 20$ for the standard paperback, 40 for the mass market version

Is there any difference in terms of contents?

 

[Lonkitt]

Is there any difference in terms of contents?

Not that I am aware of

 

[ImmortalDread]

Not that I am aware of

so there is in fact, no issues in getting 20$ one, and it won't result in a significant difference?

I suppose, but I don't wanna spend money on VS debating and beyond that, I wouldn't have use for it after the profile's creation

I mean I bought whole ass guidebook for the Bayformers purely for VS Debating purposes but it is still a cool collectible so I'm not unhappy I spent twenty bucks on it either.

 

[ImmortalDread]

I can donate 20$, its not that much tho.

 

[Lonkitt]

Also even going by the samples I found, there's already something significant that supports the scaling in terms of how Spider-Man grows in power over the course of the game

Oh really? How so?

 

[Lonkitt]

Oh really? How so?

It states that in the He's Back fight, Spider-Man's normal attacks can't inflict damage on Venom, which is why for that specific fight, you gotta use the Black Suit (something the game forces you to do too)

The second fight with Venom comes along and even without the Black Suit, Spider-Man can fight Venom, even causing him to flee in battle

Wait a sec, whats "mass market" mean in this case?

You're telling me, I was nice enough to donate the site and bought whole ass novelizations for evidence for scaling lol

Hell if I know, I just saw the two versions

 

[Lonkitt]

"A mass market paperback book (MMPB), or simply mass paperback, is a mass-produced book that is typically small with thin paper covers and relatively low-quality pages to keep printing costs down. Bestsellers are often printed as mass market paperbook books for wide distribution."

So its a soft cover vs hard cover kind of deal

How is the lesser version more expensive

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

It states that in the Prelude fight, Spider-Man's normal attacks can't inflict damage on Venom, which is why for that specific fight, you gotta use the Black Suit (something the game forces you to do too)

The second fight with Venom comes along and even without the Black Suit, Spider-Man can fight Venom, even causing him to flee in battle

I see....

Says a donator (cough cough I am also long term ex-donator too)

So in fact, the content in both versions stays same?

there’s no way to pirate it is there

 

[Lonkitt]

I see....

Yeah. I’m thinking the first key’s gonna be labeled “He's Back - Sense of Dread”, since that covers the first and last missions before the second Venom fight

 

[Lonkitt]

So in fact, the content in both versions stays same?

Pretty much. Not less pages, just smaller pages

Says a donator (cough cough I am also long term ex-donator too)

TBH I didn’t even know donators on the site did that

 

[ImmortalDread]

Yeah. I’m thinking the first key’s gonna be labeled “Prelude - Sense of Dread”, since that covers the first and last missions before the second Venom fight

Yay, finally I am real! Dread lives matter!

 

[ImmortalDread]

So guys, I guess we settled to give it a try,

but idk how the process is going to work

 

[Lonkitt]

If the guidebook was in an eBook format, we would at least know how accessible it is

 

[ImmortalDread]

But is it?

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

Made another Spidey matchup.

 

[Lonkitt]

But is it?

Can't seem to find an electronic format

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

I can donate some money if you want to buy it.

 

[Lonkitt]

I'd admittedly feel guilty about accepting money from you guys to buy a book for VS debating. Like I really do appreciate it, but I'd feel super guilty

 

[ImmortalDread]

Weird, when I search for the name and type "pdf", I get some results

 

[Lonkitt]

Thats what I did. I got 16 pages from the guidebook, but not the full 144

 

[ImmortalDread]

half half

 

[ImmortalDread]

Seems a demo, I guess. Altho, one is for sure, if it is demo, there should be a full version of it.

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

half half

So ten bucks each?

 

[ImmortalDread]

So ten bucks each?

yes sir

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

yes sir

Aight, how we gonna make this work? Send Lonkitt some cash so he can get the book?

 

[ImmortalDread]

Aight, how we gonna make this work? Send Lonkitt some cash so he can get the book?

Yes, PayPal works

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

Yes, PayPal works

Yeah, PayPal works for me as well.

 

[ImmortalDread]

@Lonkitt you are being silent, we need your voice

 

[Propellus]

Uh, I don't really think that he's really comfortable about this

 

[ImmortalDread]

So we should move on without adding those? At least, I want to see his confirmation on this.
