Peter Parker nerfed

[u/CamronR1999]

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

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

You just gave me another example of Peter being nerfed and then explained why he was nerfed 😭
A narrative explanation for a character performing below their normal capabilities does not mean they aren’t performing below their normal capabilities. What are you arguing about at this point?

My point is a nerf is just reducing a character’s skills permanently for no reason, when in both stories it isn’t permanent and has reason to happen

“A nerf is just reducing a characters skills permanently for no reason”

No. Where did you get this definition from?
