Is Spider-Man 2 any good?
Can confirm it's good. Everything that matters is pretty good. Graphics are excellent and combat is still very fluid and dynamic.
Doesn't have that obnoxious pozzed shit?
I'm saying that because I don't trust Sony and AAAmerican gaming in general.
I don't like that term since it's a term made up and primarily used by disgusting gamer incels who hate women and minorities.
But to answer your question? *insert mario movie Bowser meme* Kinda? A little?
It's not subtle at all with it's diversity and inclusivity themes, and some of it does make me cringe. At least it makes sense because modern day urban America can be very diverse like that, but some of it just completely breaks my immersion because it's unrealistic. For example, nobody uses the words "BIPOC" in daily conversation. Spider-Man suddenly using specific talking points about gun control laws definitely feels forced. The giant "black lives matter" mural close up shot feels really forced since it's not just something in the background; there's a 10 second zoom, as if it's actually important to the story (which it is not)
I won't forgive them for making Mary Jane ugly though. Pretty girls exist in real life, and there was no need to downgrade her. Again, I've actually dated women who look much cuter and hotter than her, and I'm a fucking anime nerd. Zero excuse for Sony.
