I have a horrible memory, so if I thought it was good in the first game, then im sure itll be good here too. Just the small bit of dialogue in the trailer just didnt sound like what I imagine Miles's voice is like in my head.

We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
So it's pretty obvious now going by your explanation that you don't know what a quick time event is.
How exactly was the Fisk encounter full of QTE? The end of the fight? The Mr Negative encounter in the train is the closest you can say you lost control and that was 1 part of the game, but you fight him multiple times and those are nowhere near a QTE.
There's a difference between cinematic gameplay (Detroit, Heavy Rain, etc) and set pieces.
Segment also showed three different environments so the battle locations changes throughout the duration of the fight. Starting from the main streets to being more and more isolated.
Seeing posters calling the footage a boss fight from 2010 or qte fest on a very highly edited 1 minute footage spliced into three different parts showcasing the very first boss (likely tutorial section) how miles moves against a larger boss vs how peter does isn't constructive, it's not putting hands over ears, it's concern trolling. It's absolutely nonsense.
I'm not glossing over the boss fights, but you're most definitely exaggerating the ratio between combat, QTEs and cutscenes.
Let's use the Fisk fight as an example: it starts of with player dodging turrets and yanking them to break the glass Fisk is stood behind. This isn't a QTE.
Small transition cutscene
Next we fight him head on, players can dodge, counter and evade. They can attack offensively and use webs and throwable objective to an advantage. This isn't a QTE.
Small transition cutscene
Now we fight Fisk and his security in tandem with all available move set. Dynamic cutscene closes the fight with a few QTEs.
This is a tutorial, and it still features more control than what you're alluding too.

Some people are literally questioning if the game is on rails and said the Rhino boss is from 2010....
That doesn't strike me as actual criticism but it does give me flashbacks of nicheman hot takes, puddlegate and the ridiculous outrage over the new Peter Parker in game.
A proper criticism is saying that the boss fight seems underwhelming and thats fine. But saying it looks like something form 2010 when its clearly a tutorial boss meant to teach players the mechanics is pushing it.
I'm guessing he means the graphics aren't good in the open world
Exactly. Its a tutorial. Hopefully the game has some good boss encounters.
Man a Sunset overdrive next gen patch would be Aces! Dont care if it has to be multiplatform
Thanks for the link. Looks good.
Wow, didn't catch that at first.

Sunset Overdrive 2 is my most wanted game on playstation 5
You guys should try playing good games instead of making cheeky remarks
"All QTEs and the slightest sight of them are bad and I won't hear otherwise blah blah blah!!" is basically the gist of it.
Holy hell. You need to take a break from Era in general. Pointing out people making bad faith comments and then them doubling down when questioned and exposing their trolling isn't using it as a scapegoat.
Watching that, I'm like, "If I was a criminal, why the fuck would I ever want to try and fight Spider-Man??" I'd just hang up my criminal clothes and retire. Like, fuck that shit. He absolutely destroys those dudes, and it kind of illustrates what I imagine an actual Spider-Man with Peter's agility and skillset would be like facing in real life. A red and blue blur, and you're unconscious and/or webbed to a wall before you even register to punch him XD
Miles is looking fantastic, and I'm looking forward to experimenting with his moveset in this one! So fucking excited for next month. Between this, Demon's Souls, and Cyberpunk the following week, I'm expecting to have an amazing November.
I think some people think any time a button prompt appears it's a QTE.
Yeah not only is he fast and agile, he's also strong enough to lift a bus over his head. The average criminal has no chance lol
Well, that was pretty underwhelming - mechanically I'm pretty sure I've experienced this fight a ton of times (straight out of the Arkham games). Still excited for the game, but not the best look at it.
Right? Like, even if, in the comics, Peter has only been Spider-Man since he was 15, and he's what, in his mid to late 20's, early 30's (in the comics specifically, I know in the Insomniac game he's 23, I'm assuming 24 in Miles Morales, since it's a year later), you'd think that the average, non-superpowered villain would be like, "Yeah, I'm not about that life anymore," after Spider-Man has been kicking ass for the past 15 years lol
Is it pride? Ego? Narcissism? Do they think, "I'm the hardass that's going to take down Spider-Man! With my normal human muscles and slightly above average speed..." That's either some brass balls, or complete stupidity. I'm gonna go with the latter XD
So, my impressions of all the footage we've seen of Miles so far:
Sony Conference Demo (Walking through Crowd + Bridge) - Looked incredible, and definitely up there with Demon Souls visually
Web-slinging through City GIF - Looked quite good. The City seems pretty much the same as the PS4 version, but the ray tracing on the buildings looked great, perfect use of RT
Boss Fight - Some aspects of it looked nice, but it definitely wasn't that impressive visually. Seems more in-line with what we got in the PS4 game, but perhaps some improved lighting/shadows, and better VFX?
Overall, the game looks great, like a better version of Spiderman PS4. Nothing to really complain about, that game looked amazing on PS4. Those set-piece scenes they showed at the Sony conference seemed like a fairly big step above the other footage so far though. I'm curious if we'll see more set pieces at that level of quality, or perhaps if the game will look more consistent in-person.

This is one of those irrelevant comments to get one confused isn't it?
I'll entertain you though, are these games good enough for you:

Weird flex, but šš¾.
I've been playing games for almost 25 years, so telling me to try something good for a change is all types of ridiculous.
OT: play The Touryst people.
Insomniac's sound design and mixing for these games is just so awkward and weird.
They want to have so much dialog playing nonstop and at once that it's really hard to hear anything else or you can't hear the dialog.
Really just need to have less dialog because it's absolutely nonstop in the first one.

Rocksteady did this fight back then (riding these large bosses and smashing their heads on the walls etc).
Would like to see new villains. So far looks more of the same as i expected, which is not bad. Most people loved the first one.
Funny.
Even though I disagree with your post it pushed me to grab SO off of Steam.
Looks so good.
If you think Rockesteady are the first to do then yeah. This has been a staple in games for a long time and is in almost every Spider-Man game starting from Spider-Man on PS1.
It looks really good, but cross-gen in those quick cuts. I expect the actual game to feature much better looking segments.
TIL the Arkham games are just QTE.
Learn something new everyday.
This too.
