Who's writing it off though? Even the OP says it still looks fantastic.
I'm just saying why people are likely responding the way they do (based on the title and meat of the content in the OP). It *looks* like the OP isn't very excited for it based on the majority of the post, the one sentence at the end (which most people probably missed since it's wedged between gifs) really doesn't negate that response for a lot of people, I'd assume.
Im not a fan. They are like just fillers made to waste time. The bouncing back and forth between enemies with actual very little control besides a slightly more interactive qte " oh no better press y now!" I literal quit halfway through Arkham knight because of extreme burn out to that fighting system. Only to soldier through it months later.
This is a fair criticism, though I did find myself having considerably more fun in Spider-Man with combat, just because of the speed and acrobatics. Zipping around, swinging, and using gadgets with combat feels a bit more fresh than most of the videos will lead you to believe. Most people playing it *are* playing it like Arkham, but there is a LOT more you can do that a lot of people playing simply didn't do (because their playtime was limited so obviously experimentation isn't really there).
If there's one thing that makes me think I'll wear out on combat, it's the "swinging something over head' animation. It happens for more objects than it should, and there isn't a lot of variation in how you interact with those environmental "weapons".
So a lame arkham copy that can't live up to neversoft PS1 movement?
Is this a sarcastic post?
