It’s not as simple as “10 is faster”. Having it at 0 gives you much more control, as all of the automation and correction is removed, which in some situations can make your swinging more technical or skilled if you know how to handle it. Playing at 10 gives you much less agency over how you swing.

[@sideeyed7682]

ironically the swing assist is the most accurate portrayal to how he would swing. The reason Parker never hits buildings or fall when he swings is because of his spider-sense, he never really considers the danger while swinging because he doesn’t have to, his body automatically does it.

[@Domepeezy]

@@sideeyed7682not how spider sense works he still has to respond to said danger accordingly or he’s toast it isn’t automatic he still has to consider what he’s doing

[@sideeyed7682]

@@Domepeezy you’re misunderstanding how it actually works. His body has to react to the danger but he doesn’t necessarily have to be conscious himself otherwise it wouldn’t work while he’s sleeping which it’s been proven to have. It’s not some alarm clock that just warns him, it’s form of precognition that warns him of any upcoming threat, and if he’s faster than said threat his reflexes would react to it. That explains why he’s able to effortlessly do it without consideration in battle and why his body will make a sudden reflex when hes ambushed. Plus it’s been explained throughout his run how much it’s aid his swinging. Your notion of it is actually a big misconception, Spidersense will consider the threat before peter even has any knowledge of it.

[@Webofshadowsclips]

​​@@sideeyed7682 having spider sense doesn't let him defy physics though.. and swing in a straight line wherever he wants. it'd be cool if that was integrated differently and swing assist was like a spider sense though. just a quick flash or visual cue where time would slow for a second and you'd have time to react. Similar to when you're in combat.

[@kietwilams3529]

It just shows us how much thought goes into webslinging for spidey in the first place. He has to time his webs taking into account his current speed and height as well as make the connection with the right building so as to make sure he can make the turns and straights to make speed and slow down. It’s not just a mindless process he’s always thinking about his next web placement.

Imagine chasing a car with 0 swing assist

[@MrLicoriceTree]

Played through the whole game with 0 swing assist and fall damage on. Personally prefer it that way, makes it more engaging and fun😊

[@tenkskun]

@@MrLicoriceTreefall damage is unrealistic for spiderman miles while heavily weakened fell from a height above a sky scraper and got up just fine…

[@MrLicoriceTree]

@@tenkskun If you want to play the game that way, then go for it👍

[@MahNamJeff]

@@tenkskun Gameplay VS story is very much a thing its why certain story beats happen later on in this game for gameplay purposes.

imagine if they had full ragdoll physics

[@humansnotbots-y8l]

It’s great to have that option honestly

Discussing realism about a nuclear spider bitten teenager that can lift skyscrapers with his pinky finger 😂

[@tannerjohnston5431]

Been playing on 0 the whole game on Spectacular. Honestly, couldn’t ask for a better Spidey experience 😂 ESPECIALLY when it makes some of the chases a bit more challenging and action-packed. Not to mention how buttery smooth having zero swing assist feels (it always bothered me in the first game). Absolutely love this game!

They shouldn't make it punish you. The web should be attached as long as you're holding R2 and you should just run across the ground.

[@reys4k]

literally what im saying. they just did this for the ppl that kept on complaining about how spiderman just hovers over the ground instead of touching it while swinging. instead of letting us run on the ground while swinging like in spiderman web of shadows or sliding on the ground like in fortnite they said nah lets make it so that every time you touch the floor you just let go of the web and have to start over

[@JoshuaKhup]

Yeah, just like in Batman Arkham

[@The-Legend-of-P]

@@reys4kat the speeds ur going tho. It seems weird to have him just go into an animation at that speed

[@OVOJermey]

@@The-Legend-of-PThis, it’d be awkward to have a running animation for a second while going at top speeds, it would basically not be shown at all and then serves no purpose, Reys just seems like a complainer in these comments tho so I’d rather just ignore them.

[@The-Legend-of-P]

@@OVOJermey you know the random construction pipes and web zips L2 R2 prompts?? Whenever you tap it, it throws you into an animation and looks really janky and awkward. I’m trying to imagine it but it just doesn’t work
