Those that finished, if you have SM Remastered you should fire up a fresh run while 2 is still fresh on the brain. The differences, especially tonally, are pretty staggering almost right off the bat.
The whole concept behind this version of MJ is just "we need to portray women as strong and independent". There's literally a line spoken by MJ unironically using those words, verbatim the 1st games DLC.And it's a bit jarring how Spider-Man needs multiple combos to knock people out but MJ can one tap them with her weapon. Might be an idea to get Spidey that weapon too!

The situations she gets into as a fucking modern day urban reporter in the west were ridiculous in the first game and they're ridiculous now. They don't make any sense narratively or gameplay wise, but because it's 2023, MJ cannot just be a model/actress and a side character whom you don't play.

with her oneshotting motherfuckers while i have to hit them 20 times i was dying laughing
For sure. I thought this the whole time. I'm all for strong female characters. Someone like Gwen Stacy as Spider Women would be awesome. I just hate the fact that it's a non-superhero. It would be just as bad if were Harry. I also don't like forced stealth into games either. Stealth unless it's very quick paced bores the f out of me.The whole concept behind this version of MJ is just "we need to portray women as strong and independent".

Gwen Stacy Spider-Gwen/Spider-Woman is an outgrowth of the same "stronk woman" mentality. Again, she's not supposed to be much more than a love interest to Peter, but they just had to give her Spider-People powers. That, and she was created as a multiverse spinoff largely based off of someone's work girlfriend at Marvel Comics - one of the worst editors of all time over there too.For sure.

If we're doing Spider-Woman, let it be Jessica Drew. But of course, they've taken Drew and raceswapped her in Across The Spider-Verse. Lol
I guess the least offensive thing to do at that point would be Silk? But I'm sick of Spider-People. It cheapens Spider-Man. Just throw in a Jessica Jones supporting role and be done with it.

It was annoying because most boss fights are not even that good, but what boss battles did nintendo mastered exactly? Boss fights in both last 2 zelda were mindnumbingly simple in mechanics and super easy...You know what. Big minus one point to this game. A lot of the mid=boss battles the bosses have three or four (or five?) health bars. Reminds me of FF16 the way they drag out the battles. It gets so repetitive and boring. Nintendo mastered boss battles over 20 years ago, why are devs still struggle with such a simple concept.
Yeah, i loved the opening and the banter with yuri was excellent.Spidey also comes off as much more peppy and with more spunk.
That whole Kingpin opening is excellent.

Signaled to the mod for boys club rhetoric, she looks stunning.Back when Yuri still looked like a regular woman, yup.
I have to press here: Why?I think the portrayal of Spider Gwen in the Spiderverse movies is cool and has game potential.

How do you change the tod in this game. In SM1 and MM you had to go to a station to choose a tod preset but i can't find it here.Just some golden hour shots, I love games with golden hour lightings, it's aesthetically pleasing.
Played the game entirely in Fidelity mode / 40hz / VRR = Smoothed.

But i have finished the game, just want to freeroam in a different tod.Currently you can only change it in the photo mode, otherwise the time changes depending on the story, however some side missions can pull you back into certain specific times of day that they need to take place in (eg a side story in the school will move the time to morning even if it's night in the main story).

You can't and some people have complained about it. Might be added after mission select is added.But i have finished the game, just want to freeroam in a different tod.
Found a article about it, really disappointing.Hmm, if there is an in-world way to change ToD, I haven't found seen one yet

"you cannot change the time of day in Spider-Man 2. The only way to change the time of day is by completing the story, as some missions will start or end at a specific time of day.
This is an unexpected change from the previous games in the franchise, as the sequel removes a feature that the older games had. Even after completing the Spider-Man 2 story, there isn’t a way to choose what time of day you want to play in."
That's a weird way to spell Treasure.Nintendo mastered boss battles over 20 years ago, why are devs still struggle with such a simple concept.

For real. I played more today and fought two back to back three phase boss fights which barely changed up the gameplay. Seriously just give me one or two phases if the boss changes form or something. Feels like time filler.Man, aint this the truth. LOVE LOVE this game yet my biggest gripe is this three phase boss battle crap. Same crap over and over for bosses- my least enjoyable part of the game.
Loved the game. It's more of the same and keeps the foundation they've built over the earlier games but honestly they could make as many of these as they wanted and I don't think I would get sick of them because the moment to moment gameplay is so much fun.
