Oh I see... well I think I enter that flow because I'm not paying attention to the icons, I'm just focusing on regular attacks and then intermittently smash shoulder buttons to see what happens. Maybe I subconsciously worked around a poor design decision in order to have fun. Which, you know.. fine.
Do you mindlessly parry or do you time those? Wow easier in this game than something like DMC 3, the game will punish you for timing poorly. Also, spamming dodge isn't an option anymore (I can live with that fine), because there are certain attacks that are non-dodgeable and can only be parried.
No parry and dodge I do for real- time it and everything. Took me a while to get the parry but I'm doing ok and I used it well to beat a major boss in my last play session so I'm pleased. It's only the abilities and gadgets that I mindlessly smash.

Especially considering there are setting up THREE villains specifically for Peter, I mean it’s definitely gonna be either Norman or Harry as the green goblin, and who do you think they’ll have more connection to? Let’s not also forget they are teasing Doc Ock breaking out.Spider-Man 2's Writers Break Down the Game's Big Spoilers
Insomniac Games' Brittney Morris and Ben Arfmann on creating the twists and turns throughout Marvel's Spider-Man 2' s story campaign.
Miles is taking over the series moving forward after Peter Parker got one game in the this cannon.
Explains why Peter is beaten to shit while Miles barely struggles in this game. Why cant we just have the characters we know and love instead of these watered down racial swaps that end up being unable to have half the character as the original characters.
If they are going to put Miles in the front seat then they better have some balls to fuck him up with some stuff.
They may go in a totally different direction or just have Peter be "gone" and force miles to deal with it.
No it doesn't. I don't keep up with every comic scene, but we all know that's not inherently true. There's been a few slip ups every now and then, not the disaster you and certain others like to exaggerate. Diversity is not the issue here. All you're doing is asinine speculation and having a hissy fit.
Which version you talking about? The one from the comics, Spider-Verse, or Insomniac? Miles may have it more together here, but he has own struggles like anyone. I know I haven't played the game yet, but I've seen enough to know that Miles has own struggles different from Peter. Still struggles none the less. Either way you're wrong about Miles. If Miles makes others happy, then I have no right complain, nor cry about it. You may not be satisfied, but last I checked, these games and characters don't constantly and only appeal to you or me. Also, you forgot: Miles had to deal with an rich white asshole trying to gentrify his neighborhood (a predominantly black community and large district) and had to deal with a self-righteous best friend out for revenge in his solo game. His struggles aren't that different from Peter, and it's funny you conveniently forget about it. How about have a better memory next time?
Define "we"? I am all for diversity within reason, but I don't shout and scream constantly, because I am playing as some white dude, nor white girl. The only ones who focused too much on race and gender are usually the people who hate seeing others different from them existing in a positive light, nor be a negative stereotype. I know there's those on the left or left leaning guilty as this on the opposite end, they're nowhere near as vocal and troubling as the ass hats hating on a character being black, female, gay/lesbian, trans or not looking "beautiful enough". Just a few days ago, two different shit heads biatched about Alan Wake 2 being "Alan Woke and a Boring Walking Simulator". You could tell one of the two never played the original (that had way more walking sections than the sequel). The other clearly played the original, but either forgot (NOT!) or intentionally downplayed issues with the first game. Nor can we forget about the piss ants crying because Aloy is lesbian and not a supermodel, nor is her girlfriend. Oh, and the thundering dumb racists crying about BLM in the minor final side quest brings about "dangerous politics" (supporting civil and racial rights and fighting discrimination), and that Insomniac have "no business talking about it" in Miles Morales. All the actual Spider-Man fans and Miles fans told those "fans" to fuck off, and they did. I agree.
Not really. I know there's a shitty way to do things, but Spider-Man 2 and Miles Morales are not the case. Most projects aren't doing this and you know this. Don't what Kool-Aid you've been drinking. Alan Wake 2 succeeded in what it set out with Saga Anderson and Alan Wake. The game didn't put down either, and both characters have their proper development and respective arcs completed.
Insomniac's, I know Miles has been done better before.
See that's the thing though man. I don't mind the diversity, or the inclusion, but the story has to be entertaining. When the story is trash, all it does it make that diveristy and inclusion bullshit stand out because it's clearly they are expecting me to like it just because it's "diverse" and not because it's actually good.
Mile Morales little inbetween game was fantastic.
Most projects are doing this, look at shows like Batwoman, The Arrow, movies like Charlies Angels, I mean Snow White is so fucked that they wont even release it, Marvel's latest phase has been garbage and it's gotten so bad that they are in talks to bring back all the original Avengers cast back for another movie. People are not buying this shit anymore, it has gotten way to heavy handed and it needs a major adjustment.
I care for good characters too, but I am not constantly flip out when things don't always go my way. You say you don't care, but more the willing believe click baiters, out-of-context Twitters posts, and those alt-rights jerks that cry about "forced diversity" in comics or other media at the drop of a hate. And once again, Insomniac confirmed Black Cat is bi in 2021. It doesn't ruin her character, and another version of the character is bi. My older brother wasn't complaining, so I don't see the big deal. Here's a hint in his case: it wasn't because of "social justice points". Congratulations, you're using rhetoric from the usual people crying things being different from them. Good job.
That's not a lot, nor all media. You get your shit gear and actually look, and not rely on some YouTube grifters telling you how to think and feel. You definitely don't look at all. Shows how little you actually know and only go off of a few examples that didn't last long.
I can agree to that. Even my brother doesn't like the MJ missions.
That's an optional side mission. Touch it or don't.
Sometimes the little things are just as important as the big things. Nothing new in superheroes story, and most of that does not bother me.
That's already happened, you just don't pay attention and need to get out of your own way.
Well since I don't a PS5 or these games, I can only conjecture (based on what I know of both characters and Spider-Verse) that Insomniac's intention is to transition from Peter Park to Miles Morales as a form of passing the torch from old to new. It would make sense since the games are not obligated to continue on indefinitely as comics do so there's no need to keep dragging Peter along for this ride if he's too old or decided - not unjustifiably - that he's done his bit and New York can get fucked.
There's been a lot of passing of the torch now in gaming:
Like said before, the little moments are just as important as the big moments. The little moments even more so. Thank you for proving my point @Gordon_4.
I dunno, I can't see how Insomniac could have moved fast enough in the second game to have Peter at a point in his life where he's okay as moving on from Spider-man.
Because that's likely the only way to keep this gaming franchise fresh. This is Spider-Man, so it can't change settings, it will always need to take place in New York. This is Spider-Man, so it will always need to have webswinging. Whereas other game franchises like God of War, The Last of Us, and Horizon can change venues, or characters, or change up the gameplay with new weapons and powers, Spider-Man can't really. It will always be stagnant.
I don't disagree with Peter needing to be phased out eventually, but after his second game?
Considering the first game had Aunt May and this game has Harry (no spoilers what happens to him, but it's pretty clear he's the emotional centre piece) who's left for Pete to become attached to? One could say the first game jumped the gun with Aunt May, and now it kinda needs to top itself with each new game.
Well... maybe a little bit controversial, but then I'm not a big Spider-Man or superhero fan. I remember walking out of Across the Spider-Verse thinking 'wow, this movie is going to make the Spider-Man 2 videogame look like the most plain jane shit', and yeah, that mostly rings true now that I finished it.
Depends less on the powers and gadgets and more on how it's implemented in gameplay. I didn't use the gadgets in the first game at all, because it stopped the flow of the combat dead in its tracks. In Miles Morales the venom powers added a lot to the base combat of the first game. Spider-Man 2 however kinda mucks things up, firstly by giving Peter venom (Miles' venom not symbiote venom) equivalent powers in order to match up with Miles instead of his own different and unique abilities. Seriously, instead of the big dumb spider claws they could have given Peter the suit powers from the first game to pool from. Secondly, the way SM2 stores the abilities and gadgets for use feels like you're just firing them off without much thought.
Why does the third game need to have someone for Peter to be attached to? I think there's a lot that could be done with Peter moving on from being Spider-man just for himself and because he wants to. And also, Mary Jane. I don't know what they did with her in 2 though.
I should have been more clear. Insomniac is the best version of Peter Parker Spider-man. But now that you bring it up, having Miles take the reigns doesn't seem like a great idea when he will always be an inferior to Spider-verse Miles.
We'll have to agree to disagree. My perspective is the complete opposite. I fucking loved how gadgets in Spidey 1 can just be used any time against anyone, even bosses. You could easily incorporate it into your flow.
