sasuke12: No offence but the video below correctly summarizes why video games are such poor quality these days.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnYPEfhmGlE Its not in our interest as reasonable gamers to support this nonsense as it will only get worse.
I am sure you are reasonable enough to understand that.
Marvel tried to push Miles for ages and now with two successful movies they want to put him in the center even more.
Spider-man 2 is all but a bad game. I liked the first one better, but it's far from being bad.
This is not about WOKE or whatever, it's just about money. Miles' and Gwen's style appeal more to the young generation.
Only a few people complained about Nick Fury being black, right?
Him being the laughing stock of the pat few movies ... yes, that's bad. But when it all started with Sam Jackson playing the part of a white guy, that was ok.
Both the black Nick Fury and Miles were a result of the Ultimate universe, in which Peter at some point died and Miles took the mantle. Fury in these comics was 90 years old, in the 40s he was a convict on whom they tested the Captain America serum.
So was the current Fury a result of WOKE or whatever? No, I don't think so.
Anyway ... I just don't like to play as Miles. He's to hip for my taste. Graffiti, Hip Hop and Electro Funk? Count me out ... plaese. Whatever was possible not to play as Miles, I played as Peter. That's just the guy I know and grew up with.
They want to have more diverse characters? Make it a game with Spider-girl. But I am not talking about the terrible Spider-Gwen, who is really a disgrace.
No, I'm talking about May 'Mayday' Parker, Peter and MJs daughter. She was a very good character, in the comics she was about the age Miles is now. The only problem with her was that Pete - after losing a leg - decided to quit being Spider-man and take care of his family.
Fans hated that and so her "universe" was killed off again. But the character was very good. She was the one who basically made peace with Petes old Nemesis', things that now fall to Miles. He and Rhino became buddies in the previous game, now Mysterio.
The designers just want to go for a new audience with new enemies where they have more freedom.
