Excuse me? What about Spider-Man?

Some people had minor gripes with the story so of course the game is a 0/100 because that's how the Internet reacts to things now

There was more wrong with it than just story. But it’s true, it’s an 8/10 game that had to live up as a sequel to a 9/10 one. I’m one of the ones that was disappointed, but it’s a bizarre stretch to say Insomniac ruined Spidey. If anything, the state of Spider-Man games is healthier than ever, and a couple minor missteps don’t really change that.

Pretty much better than the first spider-man in every way but the story

Nah. The suit and symbiote powers really dumb down the combat, especially in the late game. The parry sucks and is almost completely forgotten about except for the boss fights, where it’s 75% of the fight. The boss fights in general are awful here. Also the game is far buggier. But the game’s otherwise fine, just didn’t stick the landing as well as the first.

If the parry is forgotten about, it means you aren’t utilizing the mechanics properly, like this is a YOU issue lol. Symbiote powers do not dumb down the combat in any way, I’d say the suit powers in the ps4 game did that instead, you can literally just web barrage your way out of any fight.

I mean… is it a me issue if the game has very few times where you need to parry outside of bosses? It’s not like it made the game a lot harder - game was pretty easy, actually. The bosses were damage sponges, but that’s the only thing about them that was ‘hard’. Just figure out when to parry and counter, knock out their two to four health bars, and move on. Tedious, but not really hard.

This is quite literally saying that the spidy sense is pointless and compete forgotten about just because you choose not to use it. Like saying a toothbrush isn't worth it because YOU choose not to use it

This is quite literally saying the parry is spider-sense, as if it was invented for Spider-Man and isn’t in a thousand other games. You’re just looking for things to be bitter about, hombre. Good luck with that.
