Current Events > Playing Miles Morales, not a fan of the supporting cast *early spoilers, maybe?*

(+) Yeah! (+)

So far, not a fan of the supporting cast. Ganke is...alright, but he doesn't have charm. I know they based Ned off him in the MCU, but Ned's got ten times more character there and is far more entertaining. Phin is a boring attempt at a love interest(then again, MJ was pretty boring too, but at least she had some nice moments...Black Cat is better tho). His mom isn't even worth a mention. The only character I like so far is Miles uncle. Dude seems nice, plus him figuring out who Miles was is pretty cool lol.

keep playing

keep playing

I plan to. I enjoy Miles and, obviously, Peter so far.

But fuck man the scenes where I gotta deal with his not-girlfriend and Ganke and his mom is driving me to tears.

Phin is not his love interest

It sure feels they're going that route tbh.

I liked the cast, for the most part, but maybe it's because the game was so short, it didn't feel like anyone overstayed their welcome, for me.

thats why i said keep playing

Honestly Miles annoyed me more than anyone else, strictly because I really don't like his voice.

Ah, Phin's the villain. Weird, felt like they were building her to be a love interest. Not a big fan of her still. Especially since her little band of criminals are willing to steal from a FEAST truck and shoot the driver, wtf?

Miles's Uncle is even more awesome than I thought though.

one thing I appreciate about the reveal is that it doesn't waste your time or try to treat you like you're stupid.

pretty much as soon as you figure out who it is, the game reveals it almost immediately.

I loved the supporting cast in Miles Morales. Everything came together really well to me. But yeah, keep playing. Oh and do the collectibles. Some really touching moments comes from collecting those.

Gonna post spoilers past this point as I play prolly

That I will give it to them. I saw how Tinkerer was female(based on her hips the moment she walked into frame), then immediately reveal lol.

I was thinking 'wow, that's her isn't it' then it was her.

The Time Capsules? Yeah, I can prolly swing that. I won't finish ALL of them though, likely, due to the recent games I got lol.

Oh, not those (I mean, those are cool too, for more about Miles and Phin). I was trying to be vague as to not spoil anything, but, it's a set of collectibles that unlock after the main story. Made me tear up a little by the end of those.

Ah, alright, I'll be sure to do that. Thanks!

Danika Hart is annoying af.

JJJ is great because he's funny, and gives an opposing view to what you're doing. Danika is just FAR too positive and on your side with everything and it's kinda annoying.

Dude he's telling everyone his secret identity. What's the point of a secret identity at that point, God damn. A total of 5 people knew who Pete was. Everyone knows who Miles is like in one week

I can really feel like he has the exaggerated swagger of a black teen.

It's annoying to no end that grenades that explode at the feet of enemies don't affect them...unless you throw it at them.

Did you jump off a roof while saying that?

It's the only way to have the exaggerated swagger of a black teen, of course I did!

Beat the game. Phin was kinda...not great? As an antagonist, I didn't really like her. And her weird 'holding Miles bridal style as he explodes' imagery was an odd choice. Bitch can also throw people millions of miles away(as she did to me during the fight), why didn't she just throw him up or something?

And, how was she so strong? She's able to slam Miles through walls despite being a regular human. She can get slammed through things by Miles(like when he tackled her through a wall against Rhino) and still take it like nothing. I get you can explain away some stuff like Miles going easy on her with the punches, but not that. They should have made her super-powered due to...something, idk.

I do gotta say, though. I wasn't much a fan of Miles going in, but hell if this game didn't make me a fan. He got it rough in the PS4 game. He's absolutely great in this. I MIGHT, MAYBE play as him a bit in Spidey 2. Not a 100%, because Peter is my boi, but still. I may.

Overall, despite my gripes, this game was a nice side adventure.

Bump.

Jaden Smith did the credits song and I like it.

Is there something wrong with me???

The second they mentioned her name was Phin, I assumed we where getting a gender bent tinkerer.

at this point, I felt like she wanted to atone, plus, she didn't know whether Miles was going to be okay after the blast or not, and if things were gonna go sideways, they'd at least be together.

but idk, I liked her as the antagonist - sympathetic enough that you could partly support her goal, but angry enough that she lost sight of everything outside of her goal.

I also liked the imagery of her holding Miles during the explosion.

I'm wondering if she really killed Rhino, though.

No, nothing wrong with you. That song is great. And I loved the tribute to Chadwick Boseman. It caught me off guard.

No way, Miles got her before she did. No way they'd kill off my boi like that.

The imagery looked like lame, I wish they went for a hug instead.

My complaints were mostly based on the annoyance of how strong she was, really, if they made her more tech based or something rather than 'she's got tech, that makes her incredibly superpowered'. I'd have liked her more probably.

I liked her and Miles interactions pre-Tinkerer stuff though, that I won't deny.

The song and the Boseman tribute were fantastic. We really lost someone great.
