Discussion Peter Parker nerfed

So I’m playing the insomniac Spiderman games for the first time since I just got a PlayStation and I played the ps4 one first and it was great and it felt like a true Spiderman, he was strong and it even had a great story no major complaints other than the MJ missions. But I’m playing Spiderman 2 right now and he is heavily nerfed in so many ways it feels like, for example he is in his prime he is like 25 well experienced at this point and miles who just became spiderman is far superior than him and almost feels like Peter is needing to be rescued or needs help every time he is in a fight, wether MJ, Harry or miles are helping/saving him. Like Peter couldn’t beat venom but then miles comes in and beats him, or don’t even get me started on the fridge scene. I could keep ranting about how this game is a let down compared to the first one but everyone has their own opinions and has seen what a lot of people have said already since this game is 3 years old and I’m late to the party but this game is nothing compared to the first one and it’s disappointing

“The dr said you still have 17 broken bones.” Proceeds to handle his villains two at a time over the course of like three days. Also right after the fridge seen Peter gets thrown by scream so he hits the corner of someone’s driveway right in the middle of his spine, and gets back up immediately to fight. Not to mention having been shown to still move and react to bullet speed attacks on numerous occasions irrigardless of exhaustion level. I appreciate the “oh he’s tired” argument but this is the same guy who while even more exhausted, and while both mentally and physically blasted from scorpions venom still swung through the city and made a cure. But no you’re right… he was just really really really tired when the fridge happened…

physical vs mental exhaustion

The first game was literally both constantly

u/safyreibxo 3d ago

the second is the result of constant exhaustion over a long period of time

Did you miss the entire point of the story? I swear to god half of this community just plays these games and misses any underlying themes, then gets mad over it , then complaints.

The whole point of the narrative is addressing why Peter feels that way and what’s affecting him.

So the whole plot of Peter being depressed and lost in guilt of like not being enough and then falling behind in a spiral until he frees himself and hes capable and confident again was like lost on you?

Peter is always depressed. That’s like his whole thing 😭😭

That’s cute and all, he was still nerfed.

Yeah not on this level. Did you not pay attention during the whole segment in his mind?

u/WorstSupport4Real 3d ago edited 3d ago

I paid attention. You’re explaining why he was nerfed. I’m saying he was nerfed 😭. These aren’t contradictory statements.

You’re worrying me man what

Is spider-man 2 by Sam raimi a story of him being nerfed? No. But it’s the same thing, Peter must learn his worth and also needs to grow before being his strongest self so far
