also as a mouse and keyboard fanatic my main issue with gamepads isn't even so much the speed and precision thing as much as you can't be using the right stick and the face buttons simultaneously. especially in 3rd person games where the right stick/mouse movement is usually free camera, i like to be able to rotate it constantly while also being able to still press buttons if i need to.
in those kinds of games I hook my left index finger over to the right stick so I can hit buttons while also moving the camera, or use my right index finger to hit the buttons, depending on the game, lmao

I mastered this hosed up technique playing gears of war, where when you held down the A button to run, the camera got obnoxiously low and your character took up the whole screen, so if you wanted to see anything you also had to push the right stick down at the same time

Haven’t used paddles yet. Anyone got hands on experience with them? The idea of being able to jump, turn and attack simultaneously is attractive and I feel like something that useful should be available on regular controllers

Spider-man uppercuts a dude two stories into the air, and then jumps up and webs him and slams him into the ground like the worlds most hosed up trebuchet.

There are bonus conditions on quests to knock people off buildings but they also count as getting webbed for some reason. I guess the assumption is that Peter's web is incredibly super and always saves bad guys from dying and even guys off screen are getting webbed.

yeah that just makes the fascist overtones more blatant. its not hard to find some pepe guy saying basically the same thing about germany letting refugees in or whatever the gently caress

like werent we just talking about how incredibly racist gamers are a few pages ago? and now everyone finds the idea of a fash game writer inserting some fash jokes into their game completely unbelievable?

It's a sequel to a game the internet adored. You'll get snark from people who think liking it makes them a bad person because of some questionable dialogue.

Wolfenstein 2*'s advertising and some dialogue/collectibles in the game went all the way with the dogwhistling making fun of modern fascism, so after that bombed I'm not surprised Zenimax is trying the opposite. No ethics in capitalism and so on.

* and even then that game gives up on any attempts at commentary after a handful of cutscenes and devolves into a tale of American exceptionalism :allears:.

She was originally a joke based on Spider-Gwen so she is related it's just in actual execution she has no relation to either thing.

Anyways, I fell like 1500 posts behind again and I ain't reading all that so what's up? What's new? How is everyone doing? Do Goons like the new Spider-Man?

Gwenpool is different in that she's from the other side of the fourth wall in the first place (amusingly and famously, she doesn't realize people assimilate her to Deadpool until several issues in, being oblivious to the name and costume resemblance and not having Deadpool on her mind since she's not a regular reader of his stories).
