PS5 Spider-Man 2

I was just thinking something. What if the last trailer was a Last of Us Part II kind of misdirection and that Peter is the one who becomes Venom instead of Harry or Eddie? How I would feel about it depends on how it’s depicted.

Seems like he will go full Venom for a bit...really depends on how fast Miles can get that suit off him.

Either Miles stops him in a fight or Peter beats the crap out of Miles and pulls a classic wtf have I done.
 
2-minute cinematic
1-minute combat
30-second cinematic
30-second traversal (web-swinging)
1-minute stealth
2.5 minutes of "traversal" (ie, crouching through narrow passages) + cinematics
2.5-minute action set piece
1-minute cinematic
1-minute action set piece
1.5-minute cinematic

Red listings are the only things I consider genuine gameplay. 2 minutes out of a 12 minute trailer. 2.5 if I wanna be nice and count the web-swinging (I don't). 16% gameplay. This game is going to be such abysmal garbage. Just like the first.

But it isn't an EA Skinner Box trying to sell the souls of our children to the Dread Lord Cthulhu, and by the merits of that alone, basic bitches will praise its name to the Heavens. The trailer already shows a bunch of really bad habits, but the likes are through the roof.

In terms of AAA gaming, we will never have nice things again.

Symbiote gameplay

Ugh, fine. Call me out and make me show some integrity. Christ.

The symbiote combat looks sick as shit. It also seems like they may have actually addressed what was probably my most substantial criticism about the combat; having to stop mid combo and open an inventory wheel. Trash. How do you play Arkham, where you can free flow into EVERY gadget, and then conclude your game needs a fucking item wheel?!

Anyway...Assuming the symbiote powers replace gadgets, it looks like you can properly flow from melee into abilities/gadgets. That is a huge deal, if I'm right. Still leaves a lot to fix.

Negative Difficulty
100% on Hard in a weekend. I've never even beaten a Souls game. Trash. And I've heard people praise the Taskmaster challenges. You're weak.

Fake hostage missions
I have never been so mad to see a hostage NOT get shot. Commit or don't waste my time (that applies to both IRL hostage takers, and these missions).

Generic stealth missions
Why? The shit is so token. If you want to give people a chance to troll on goons with Spidey powers, just make unalerted goons super oblivious and let nature take its course.

Spidey-Sense is useless (key issue not fixed in trailer)
This is actually a crime. Spidey-Sense giving you less situational awareness than Batman's Google Glasses app is vile. Pure disrespect to the web-head. Key Issue: MARK THE TREAT, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!! Having the icon over the player's head instead of the attacker's is fucking brain-rot stupid. There are holes in whosever's brain allowed this shit. They should not be allowed to drive.

Pre-emptive counter: I understand this is partially because larger numbers of enemies are off-screen at once. This fact, however, is not a justification. It is simply a contributing design-flaw. Spider-Man's combat zone's are too large. The game spreads enemy AI way to far apart. I assume as justification for greater acrobatics. But this is a style over substance choice that is detrimental to the flow of combat. Half the time it just makes combat take longer.


Petty Quibbles / AAA-disease
1. Shut the fuck, and let me think. The bomb defusal puzzle gave me like 20 seconds to trace a cord all the way around the bomb before it started spelling out the instructions again. Felt like I was on fucking Blue's Clues. GoW was lousy with this shit. It's a common problem.

2. Calm the fuck down on the action set pieces, and chill on the crouching through tight spaces as not very sneaky load screens.

What has Capcom done to earn any particularly good will? It just coasting off being able to finally make 2 or 3 passable RE games back-to-back (mostly by copying their own homework)?

I guess any of their subpar products are subpar by their own merits, and not by catching AAA disease. Tragically, I do count that as a win these days.

Tangent: Capcom and I have a bit of beef. I love MvC in theory. But the Street Fighter-based control scheme has the jankiest directional inputs of all mainline fighters. How the fuck do you end a directional combo on a diagonal input?! This is fucking disgusting:
⬅️ ⬇️ ↙️ 🅰️
(yes, I do play fighters with the d-pad, how did you know?)
 
Any Spider Man story where Peter is actively aware that the venom suit is a black goo alien and just rolls with it is just so fucking stupid to me.

But hey, the tentacle rape additions is making the combat slightly more fluid and freeform so that's something the game has that all other media do not.

Its a conundrum. The end credit scene of the first game showed Norman using the symbiote to try and save Harry. You'd think the game would start with Harry going venom, but its hard to imagine Peter putting on the symbiote suit if it turns what seems to be a friendly and well-adjusted version of Harry into venom.

I'm guessing act 1 is Peter investigating Green Goblin, and he gets the symbiote on him when he sneaks into Oscorb for their boss fight. Act 2 Peter steadily becomes more like venom and Miles has to stop him. Act 3 Harry becomes venom because he's sick and Peter put his dad in jail.

Swing, and wide a miss. Like...Andromeda wide.

Currently, my only console is a PS4. And I even use my DS4 on PC. You legit couldn't have been more wrong. Hell, I modded PlayStation buttons into my emulated version of Breath of the Wild and modded run of Skyrim.

I've owned one Xbox in my life (a 360 years after it came out).

When I was 17 and old enough to care about the console war, I was, in fact a Sony Simp. Now I just hate the game's industry writ large.

Sorry. The only fanboy here is the one defending a game he likes from good faith criticism by evoking the console wars.

Bro. Show them whatever you want. No opinion of mine is going to be more pathetic than you letting it live rent free in your head for two years.

You're. Fucking. Weird.

I would only accept her returning if Symbiote Pete wrecked her shit for good. Hell, you wanna go dark as they said they would? Why not make her Spider-Man’s first kill? And then you can justify that as Peter deciding to get rid of the suit.
 

Swing speed increase is cool.

I always thought it felt slower than it should be considering how fast you could be falling when you shot out the web. Top speed felt sluggish.
