CrimsonArkGame is great, possibly the greatest superhero game ever made.
BUT-!
This is hands down the whitest game I’ve played in awhile. The waves of bleached ass whiteness permeating from this game at times is almost overwhelming.
This version of New York at times feels like Rapture for white liberals.
i got second hand embarrassment everytime i had to go back to brooklyn visions

I was thinking about this last night after watching AfroSenju’s play through. He got to a part where Miles was dj’ing a party and the music was some generic trance s***. I really prefer the Spiderverse Miles & his family depiction and portrayal better than this. This feels like a diversity quota was met, and only visually at that. Demeanor, how he talks, etc are all seem filtered through a white persons perspective tbh. I’m sure they’re Black people who can probably identity with this version of Miles, n it’s accurate to their life, so sure I guess. But a young black kid who is from Harlem in 2023 I do not expect them to act like Miles tbfh.
I’m not talking about portraying him as some wannabe street nigga either, he just feels so out of place. Maybe because I prefer his movie version that the difference seems so stark to me. Like the depiction of Miles mom in the game vs the movie irritates me
In the game shes your regular white-Latina. There are complexities even within that family dynamic that are just blatantly ignored. This isn’t a nitpick I have with the game itself though, more so Hollywood/entertainment industry in general atm.- Oct 27, 2023Mr Motion

but it feels like they desperately wanna use Miles to show every form of diversity and acceptance under the sun
which wouldn’t be too bad but when you do it twice in the same year with the same character you pick up on it

The change to needing a full focus bar to heal is probably my least favourite in the game
makes some fights in spectacular much less enjoyable, especially starting with one bar

its a dumb dumb change
Oct 27, 2023·1 replyOHMNIVery very on rails to a point to annoying point especially with no HUD on . I have to turn on the hud to see the button prompt they want me to press on freeze frames
Having no HUD on didn't allow me to progress after a mission was completed 3 (THREE) times...

Beat the game last night, Kraven was still the best part of the game
Some of the story cutscenes were also surprisingly good/not as corny as most of the game
Oct 27, 2023dear aprilthe most annoying thing about this game is you have to be in an exact spot to press triangle
how many times ive had to move around or wonder if im even doing the right thing, so annoying
how did they f*** it up so bad LOL

The moment I heard the term “BIPOC artists”, I was like, oh, oh boy.
I’m shocked they didn’t drop a “latinx” at some point tbh.
in the spanish dub of the game insomniac created their own language to get rid of gendered terms in the spanish language so EVERYTHING is gender neutral even though thats not how their language works

need to just let miles be what he is instead of forcing all this s***
