Miles Morales Spider-Man sucks

[silloweet]

Anybody else think this game sucks? The gameplay and visuals are great, but the story is so bad. Nuform is just a watered down Devil's Breath, Phin (what a stupid name - don't even get me started on "Tinkerer") is a terrible villain, and Krieger isn't even important enough to be called a villain

The game tries to make us sympathize with Miles' and Phin like they do with Peter and Otto in the first game, but they fail to give them a relationship that actually matters to anyone. Phin is such a corny cliche villain. The game uses energy and technology as an excuse to put magic into the game. At 17 years old she's developed technology that can literally do whatever she wants it to do. It can be a sword, it can be a gun, it can make her fly, it can even give her a shield that appears and vanishes in thin air. It's so lazy. You have Norman Osborne, Peter Parker, and Otto Octavius in this game, and some random teenager has developed something to put them all to shame? Then, after trying to kill Miles for the 3rd time, she gets some weird villain redemption at the end

Then there's Miles. His character is literally just ♥♥♥♥♥. He looks like a ♥♥♥♥♥, he sounds like a ♥♥♥♥♥, he acts like a ♥♥♥♥♥. His character is 17, looks 12, and sounds 10. Same with his goofy ass friend, Ganke. How do they get such an annoying combo of people. Everything Miles said in the game either was corny or just sounded corny because of the voice acting. This also goes for all of the npcs in the game. It's like I'm playing "Life is Strange." Miles and Ganke annoyed tf out of me every time I heard them talk. Like when Miles was fighting Phin and he said"Mom, me, and Ganke are your family." Who even wrote that corny nonsense. Ganke only met Phin once, and just a few moments ago you disowned your uncle for trying to save your life. Now you're calling someone who's trying to take your life your family? My main criticism with the first Spider-Man game was that it was too much like "Life is Strange" and this game is like that times 100.

And I haven't even spoken about Miles' lack of ability to keep a secret. After a short period of being Spider-Man, Ganke knows, Phin knows, his mom knows, his uncle knows, and random npcs around his neighborhood know.

So all in all, the story needs to be changed, and every voice actor needs to be fired. Also, the game is too short.

I agree on most points, but also I hope you didn't pay full price for DLC being sold as a new game, it really isn't a "game". Like, that's on you. This is easily 15h AT MOST, I 100% it in 15.2 hours and I don't plan on going back to NG+ for anything because it's just 3 upgrades and 3 skills, ♥♥♥♥ that. lol. It's artificial padding.

With that said, besides Phin being an unlikeable annoying character I don't see her ability to make all this tech up as bad. Peter's done crazier things in the games and in the comics despite being a broke teenager/co-ed, it works within the rules of the universe they're in so it's not that out of place.

The writing definitely needed work though, we didn't have enough time in this tiny-ass DLC to really care for most of the characters but I thought Ganke and some of his other friends were okay. I know people who speak the way they do ironically and unironically, and I think it's fine, it's funny to me. That's all subjective though.

Phin was the thorn sticking out, they tried to make us like her and then see her as someone struggling but it never came through that way. She just seemed overly emotional and erratic, which you could chalk down to what she's been through but it really doesn't work. If there was more time cooking that relationship I would've almost felt something, but alas there just wasn't enough. We got so many hours Peter and Octavius and their relationship was so great that they make her look worse by comparison.

I do agree with a lot of what you mentioned. I did enjoy the game but it's definitely a disappointment compared to the first game. It's essentially a DLC to the first game at the cost of $50. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the first game but this is a re-skin with the exact same challenges. Rather boring, especially when the story is so short.

It's fine. Game is great. Story is good. Characters are good. I don't know why you are so angry over it. Talk to your doctor.

$30-40 would be a better price

I mean you can leave a review and not play another Spider-Man game if you'd like chief.

I personally thought it was fantastic! Graphics on medium were solid (my computer is pretty mid at the moment) and the story was as good as I expected from a teenager just getting into the role of a superhero. It showed a lot of how Miles is still a kid and bad at being a hero; but how he grows into that better.

$40 would've been a better price instead of $50, I believe it was $40 on PS but I got it on sale for $37 so it's a point that didn't bother me. People keep saying it's like DLC but it's literally standalone DLC to bridge SPM 1 to 2 when it comes out; you guys gotta do better research before buying games.

The gameplay is 10/10 something that truly feels amazing to swing and fight as Miles. And I don't get how 12 hours or so is short. I remember growing with 6 hour campaigns in games and that would be amazing. People needing 100 hours of content really need to touch grass. I can't finish most games that take that long to play through due to life getting in the way.

To be fair the "Its just more DLC" argument is pretty valid when the city never sleeps and whatever the other one where called had about as much story content.

No one ever said it has to offer 100hrs but people act like 7hr main story is acceptable for a semi-open world game like this. For a DLC it is, but Miles Morales is not a DLC. It is in fact a standalone game. The developers confirmed this quite some time ago, so maybe do some of that research you spoke of. The issue isn't the gameplay or that the story was weak (even though it wasn't my favorite), it's because the game is like a DLC but sold at the price of a full game.

Liking the story so far and game play is fantastic

It's totally acceptable. 1) It wasn't the price of a "full game". 2) It took me 45 hours to get everything done I wanted to do in the game. Being longer does not make a game better. I would rather have a 7 hour game that's good all the way through than a 30 hour game that's padded with busy work.

There's also a general discussions forum, where people can, as such, discuss their thoughts with others.

Your point?

$50 dollars is essentially the full price of the game. As I told you before, the game's really only around 15hrs to complete which was an estimate, but sources claim it's actually 18hrs for 100% completion. Others on the forums have shared similar information as well. Please do your research next time.
