Crying people barking "woke"

[Peter_Evol1]

...instead of enjoying gameplay and plot, or simply playing another games more accurate to their standards.

I think this "movement" is vanishing day by day

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wish they all just leave us the ♥♥♥♥ alone. It's honestly exhausting to read every minor gripe they seem to have,

They will never leave people who are different from the "norm" alone. Stay strong and keep fighting for your right to exist, even in digital spaces like this one.

dustborn is not a good example for "go woke go broke" because the game is just terrible and had no publicity to speak of. something like helldivers 2 is a much better comparison, being a AAA game also produced by sony.

plus, spiderman 2 sold respectably. it is true that wukong sold double the amount of sm2 (22 million compared to 11 million, respectively), but 11 million is still a very high number. most people also agree that the game is at the very least decent, and it's reactionary pieces of ♥♥♥♥ like you that constantly shift the narrative around this game because nobody ever has any original opinions.

Most intelligent people see through you and some above posters who are just private profile activists that actually do more harm that good. Whether you are just divisive algorithm scripts to engage, enrage, or just advocate for some marketing company.

You are just gas lighting and what is interesting to me is if it's even known or understood. "You people," and then personal attacks on intelligence or politics or whatever ARE against community guidelines.

MOST people can separate the art from the artist or just accept the biases and issues of the game for what they are. That is one reason the game sells well. It also doesn't preclude people from seeing problematic themes and issues from big investment money going to bloated firms and other consulting companies.

You and others only focus on "woke vs anti woke" and it's obnoxious for both political sides. There's plenty of examples beyond typical "stereotypes" of anti LGBTQIAP or inclusion and exclusion topics to also focus on from far left post modern ideology. The way traditional relationships are portrayed is one. It also has led to a decrease in the number of countries and people having marriages and kids and also why career focused couples are sadder and less fulfilled in life. If you cannot see how that is advocated for with the language of the game, its not your fault and I won't call you stupid.

However your comments and others from the same type of profiles aren't the flex you think they are and actually more counter factual to the points you are intending to make and represent.

You're not more intelligent than others because you yap about things that seem detailed on the surface but are simply advocations for regressions for marginalized demographics, all while skirting the line of what's reportable yourself with your veiled hateful rhetoric.

wrong. sm1 and mm performed perfectly fine on deck. sm2 is just a different beast, being developed with ps5 in mind. this is truly a next-gen game, whether you like it or not.
if one has a decent pc i'd suggest they should stream it to deck.

What would you consider "...decent pc..."? Personally I'm thinking about switching from NVIDIA to AMD, because my 4070 is terrible.

I'm fine with my 4070tis and 7800x4d.

Just like the anti-sjw crusade and gamergate. Sadly, once their crusade loses potency, they will come up with something else stupid.

They just do what their handlers tell them to do. They don't think for themselves. They're "outraged" because they were instructed to be. I just block anyone that complains about that stuff.

There is nothing wrong with representation. But, when it is forced and jammed down your throat it becomes tedious. Make it natural with compelling characters accompanied by good writhing, and it becomes a non issue. One note characters is lazy and does more harm than good.

but its not jammed done your throats

It's jammed into this game. If you were to go by the number of lgbtq+ in this game and then break it down into per capita, the city of New York would be 95% homosexual or non binary or trans. It is forced. It isn't done organically. It is cringe.

the movement is in fact not vanishing and is expanding, but I don't think a couple gay flags would draw it as woke. It ain't the whole premise so it's fine.

In other words, "I support 'Don't ask; don't tell.'"

You first.

I'm maybe 40% in and stopped playing. The word woke has lost its meaning. It's not about woke, or not woke. I'm tired of companies pushing agendas solely for the sake of pushing them. If you want to push an agenda, bring it to political bodies or governences.
This game has multiple lgbt references and at least 1 unskippable set of cutscenes where most other scenes in the rest of the game are skippable.
So, again it's not about woke. It's about being done giving money to companies pushing this stuff in a medium where need not be.
If I could still refund this game, I 100% would. Lesson learned.

My honest opinion...

Spider-Man 2 is less of a superhero adventure and more of a propaganda-filled lecture.

From Peter Parker’s bizarre anti-gun rants and cringe-inducing "compliment clubs" to the overwhelming presence of identity politics, the game feels more like an ideological statement than an actual attempt at entertainment. The writing is painfully bad—removing the agenda wouldn't save it, as it's filled with forced positivity, eliminating any real drama or tension.

Character design has taken a nosedive, and the game has an absurd focus on "representation" over engaging storytelling.

This isn't just a case of minor inclusivity—it's blatant, in-your-face propaganda, from pride flags to climate change puzzles, and even an abortion promotion side quest. The result? A game that alienates its audience while offering little in the way of meaningful gameplay or a compelling narrative.

Adding to the frustration, the PC version suffers from severe technical issues. Suffering from frequent crashes, performance drops, and graphical glitches—even on high-end hardware. The implementation of DirectStorage with GPU decompression has led to notable slowdowns, and stability problems persist despite multiple hotfixes. Instead of delivering a polished experience, the game feels rushed and poorly optimised.

Ultimately, Spider-Man 2 is a textbook example of what happens when activism overtakes artistry, now made even worse by its technical shortcomings. If you’re looking for a superhero experience that respects its characters and audience, this isn’t it.

That honestly sums it up for my experience with it. Have some points!

It's about you using white supremacist rhetoric to label anything that depicts people who aren't straight, white males as propaganda.

You're wrong and overly assumptive. Blocked all the same.
