So it looking cool distracts the player from realizing that it actually sucks, which happens a lot with more "Cinematic Gaming" kind of stuff, animations look great, but seeing a movie happen when you do those attacks does not mean good [b]gameplay[b], it just looks cool, and while looking cool is part of the point of Spidey, how about making something that looks cool and is well made too?
At the very least on the ground the combat is a bit better, because blocking is more reliable, and you can dodge to make distance, so you have more options, but in the air, fucking Web Strike is your only option...
Shattered Dimensions is actually one of the few games, maybe the only one, where I actually liked the combat, although admitedly, I probably played it like 5 years ago, so I don't remember much, but I remember liking 3 out of 4 Spideys, I don't think I cared much about Noir, and maybe Miguel was my favorite to play, but I really remember hating the upgrade system.
He might've been the least boring chase mission, since I think he throws obstacles in your way? Venom and Rhino were kinda meh, think maybe I liked to chase Electro with Venom though.
Also can we have another Venom in a Spidey game? I loved that super jump, his combat being more long ranged was a cool idea, though, it was hilariously not balanced since the game rather clearly is made for close quarter combat (Even if it wasn't particularly well made to do that too lol).
I don't mean Venom in particular, but, someone who plays very different from him, lacking one of the key stuff Spidey has (Which in Ultimate's case, web swinging), while having his own cool shit (Super Jump).
Also how the fuck is Rhino someone Spidey can lost track of? A big ass robot that is destroying everything in the city? Come on now, that's just ridiculous lol.
