Know your audience. For quite a few gamers these days, being able to safely stroll around their neighborhood, having time to help others, and there being others around who would accept their help rather than screaming at or bashing away someone who offered help are all superpower-grade fantasies.

Well, that does sound like Spider-Man stuff. The old PS2 open world games (based on the Raimi movies, especially Spider-Man 2) had that stuff, and Spider-Man is calling himself "Friendly Neighbourhood Spider", so for an open-world-spidey-game, it's what should be in there.
First they turned Saints Row into the Sims with Guns. Then they watered down Spider-Man. Whats next Duke Nuke VR knitting, DOA7 walking simulator, DOOM the dating sim?
For some of those missions, you may be wearing a costume but the missions are very un-heroic. It's just "good person simulator".
Feels like something Flanders from Simpsons would create.

No kidding. I really didn't like the missions where I had to play as a normal person. You would think that after all the criticism over the MJ missions in Spider-Man 1, they would know better than to add them to the second game.
I didn't buy a Spider-Man game to play as normal people.
