That's actually pretty spot on... I don't understand why spiderman needs to be so confusing and have alternate spider mans... Would be weird if batman was also someone else than bruce wayneHe sucks because he isn't Peter Parker.
I... you really feel the plot in this game is better than Into The Spider Verse? I would be shocked if that’s a popular opinion. The plot itself is fine? I guess? I mean it’s not great but not absolutely terrible - certainly not NEAR as good as into the spider verse (which is maybe the best Spider-Man movie to date) and it’s not even close.I mean the whole plot is better than Into the Spider Verse. But ok.
Yeah I couldn’t get into the first one at all, I played maybe a couple hours of it so I have no idea if the writing was better in that but the way they’ve handled this character - I think I’ll pass on revisitingBoth Spider-Man games are poorly written. They have no idea how to do Morales.
They put zero emphasis on his African American heritage
Isn't he latino?
Black father, Puerto Rican mother.
He seems to be more identified with his latino heritage.
That was my point.
Not everybody feels attached to the father's heritage.
My father is a gipsy mulatto and I couldn't care less about gipsy culture.
You're not a written character, though. And regardless of his father, he is half black. My point (which I made over two months ago, why is this thread back?) is that the game makes a big point of being super inclusive of other people and cultures, they finally have this black playable superhero for people, and he doesn't feel like a black kid at all, but maybe that was the point, I dunno. I guess he got some samples for a beat his brother was making..? That's about it.
Video games are scared of black main characters acting too "black"Miles is basically black Peter Parker.
It's dull as fuck.
The reason why Into The Spiderverse works so well is that they actually gave Miles a personality of his own.
Uhhhh no. Why? No. Why in the world would I purchase a game with a black main character if it was the fact he was black that bothered me? Truly don’t understand wtf people are going off on here with this nonsenseYes OP theres something alittle dark about him isnt there
I had this strange feeling also for CJ in san andreas, Deathloop protag, cole train in gears, and even lucio in overwatch.
Hmm, cant quite put my finger on it but something just doesnt feel right about these guys. Maybe oll look into it

Miles Morales has comitted the crime of not being black enough.
No. It has nothing to do with his race or heritage or whatever the fuck everyone is now focusing on. It is his dialogue and voice acting within this particular game. Which I have continually reiterated a thousand fuckin times now. If this has just turned into people debating his blackness or Puerto Rican-ness or the idea of the character as a whole in the marvel universe or whatever mods should lock the thread it is not what I’m talking about whatsoever.Miles Morales has comitted the crime of not being black enough.

It’s getting hard to tell. It feels like the subject has just changed into this debate about his race in general, or something about palette swaps and it’s really just not what I’m talking about. Miles Morales in Into the Spider Verse was the most likeable Spider-Man to me (also I thought it captured the New York vibe the best, as a New Yorker) - so the character obviously CAN be done well if written well. In this game he is just super cringey the whole time - and not in a funny way.I think he’s actually agreeing with you.

Lmao relax i was joking man xDUhhhh no. Why? No. Why in the world would I purchase a game with a black main character if it was the fact he was black that bothered me? Truly don’t understand wtf people are going off on here with this nonsense
It’s hard to tell in this thread some people have been legitimately seriousLmao relax i was joking man xD
Racist
I thought the length was the best part. Actually finished it, and then was enjoying it enough to mess around with the challenges, and then went ahead and platinumed it, which I rarely do.I've been hearing nothing but praise for it other than the length. I actually bought it before I can even secure a PS5
I have to agree with OP, miles in the comic and in the movie is badass and hes the best alternative to peter but in the game he is incredibly annoying, i dont blame the voice actor as the guy who voices him does a good job in the newest spiderman tv series (even though the series is shit) but its the script hes been given that is shit, games ok thoughSo I decided to finish this game. It’s not a bad game at all. But Jesus Christ the way they did his character is fucking terrible. I loved into the spider-verse but this particular version in this storyline. The things he says. The voice acting. It’s honestly annoying me to the point of pissing me off and I don’t want to play as him. I know I tend to have stronger than normal reactions to shit like this but goddamn I can’t be the only one who finds this character completely insufferable can I?
Yes OP theres something alittle dark about him isnt there

I wonder whether this is a reflection on the production team themselves.I think it all ties together. Literally everything about this game's story/characters feels lame and forced, and I think it has to do with Insomniac intentionally making a game centered around minority characters where they're afraid of actually making them feel real and nuanced. All the minority characters are smart, dorky, and good intentioned (Miles, Flynn, Genke, Danica, the deaf girl, etc). Then you have the Roxxon villain, Norman Osborn, and Jameson, the only three white dudes in the game (besides Peter's limited role obviously) who are just pure toxic sleaze and stupidity.
Basically, what you're talking about is a symptom of that. I know it might be uncomfortable to talk about, but that's the source issue. Nothing wrong with having different races and diversity in your game, but it can't be so forced and PC, which is what Insomniac did unfortunately. And that's why Miles was written the way he was.
Why are they so incapable of making a good black character? Miles, his Dad and his mom were sick in the first game. Now all of a sudden they add forced Spanish dialogue and completely change Miles character, mannerisms and add trap music in order to suck in black players and woke people like you.This is a pretty pathetic complaint and really shows that you are racist and triggered. Why does it offend you that there is some Espanol in the game? It takes place in New York, the city with the most people in this country that also has the most spoken languages.
Hearing racists and bigots whine about representation is so stale. Why are you people so delicate and afraid? Keep taking everything that is not catered to you and you alone like some kind of attack on your identity and whining about it online because that is so productive.

Just like how they ruined Peter by making him look closer to Tom Holland in order to attract more casual Marvel movie watchers to the game.
Not everything is racist dude. Get over yourself.
Totally agree, loved the somewhat trimmed down side quests so most of the game was well written story. It was a brilliant launch title.I thought it was an excellent character in an excellent game.
This people are so crazy they are literally accusing a black person of doing blackface because her skin isn't black enough.
It's almost as if all this woke theories are deeply rooted in actual racism.
There are alternate Batmans that aren't Bruce Wayne... And Supermans that aren't Clark Kent ... And Captain Americas that aren't Steve Rogers... And so on ...
There's nothing confusing about Spider-man. If you can't follow it, maybe you need more sleep?
This is such a shitty take. There is nothing wrong with having another Spider-Man who happens to be black. No idea why people cannot comprehend this. It’s pathetic.Im about to say something controversial.
Peter Parker is my Spiderman. I just can't take Miles seriously as Spiderman. He sounds annoying and was created just to please certain section of society.
But those don't get into the mainstream, just the comic fans know about alternate universes/timelines/characters, that's why we see Batman/Superman/Spider-Man movies being restarted every 10 or so years, rather than expanding the audience awareness on the franchises.
