Facts if you see they literally made a separate subreddit from official one that down votes anyone who validly criticizes the game for not being the second coming of Christ. It’s ridiculous because if so many act like this game has no flaws we will get the exact same game with a couple animations if we are lucky for the last kne

Yeah and they get super mad if you just say "Hey will there be DLC?" or even the people who criticized the face scans and motion capture, etc. They just get really mad that you don't slurp up every facet of the game.

@@P8nplays That's just sad. I feel like anyone who unironically joins that sub should probably be re-evaluating their life choices.

​​@@P8nplaysI think my issue with that is just how unlike their hero a lot of those people are. It's like they don't actually understand why Spider-Man is supposed to be a special character, at least from the way a lot of these people act.

@@DegenerateJay the thing is a lot of us just want the game to be the best it can be if they had more content and fun side activities even a couple races for traversal mastery that maybe unlocks a different skill or move would be great we don’t even get the semi race droid missions anymore just the ones with the wingsuit and many people think we just think the game is trash when in reality it’s not but it should have been rivaling Arkham city they had everything set out to do that but instead had to rush partly blame Sony but short have cut mj missions for more venom and main characters development

On god

I’d say suits overall for the most part.

Every suit that wasn’t from the first game was underwhelming

@@Sonic171K True.

@@The_Emperor823 Yeah pretty much, the symbiote suits and the upgraded suits were pretty cool tho.

i also agree, we don't have the symbiote on long at all.

@@smileysuburban8146exactly

Amen. Way too short it was.

Skip the cutscenes and it's an hour. Just did it two days ago to see

@@famouzrockz but that’s not the whole act you skipped the cutscenes

Personally when it comes to the symbiote arc, don't continue using what happened in the '94 cartoon. Stop letting Peter get aggressive with it. It's over used and it's now personally getting annoying to see in all media when it comes to it.

@@Mr5icknessno

ssm symbiotic arc is extremely overrated honestly eddies turn is very drastic i feel like usm show handled it better and introduced agent venom as well

@@naolerena3193 well, Eddie was supposed to have a redemption arc in Spectacular but the show got cancelled before that could happen. So all we’re left with is the villain arc and I think that side of Venom was handled quite well in that show.

@@XxHUNT3RN4T0RxX what im trying to say is his turn was rushed and was character assassinated when he tried to kill gwen stacy multiple times. I enjoyed the show due to the great voice acting and how stan lee ditko inspired the show was but this was one of the worst versions of venom i’ve seen

It’s the fact that the first game had far more variety in its missions and gameplay overall, besides swinging and skills obviously. Like the second game, as much as I love it, just feels like “swing till here, beat some guys, swing away and maybe press ONE button to o stop a chase”.

Li and Miles should've had their own story from Peter where Li teams up with other inmates or Just regular street criminals, until Miles confronted him, they advertised the game as two Spider-Man but it's really just Peter's story ft Miles,

This is so me here. I'm happy I wasn't the only one who had this train of thought as well.

I got off the hype train before it released because of the obnoxious fanbase in the lead up to its release. It doesn't help that a friend was one of them saying "I'm gonna rage if it doesn't win game of the year". But finding flaws the more you play is definitely accurate.

How is Peter almost dying a bad thing? He got his ass best but he also did more than anyone else. Same thing happened in the first game too, he almost died twice.

lol I noticed these problems day one and everyone hated me for it it’s crazy you followed a hype train

Tbh that was just lazy writing

They were doing way too much.

While I do kinda agree with that, I’m also a fan of how they went all out with this game and included way more stuff than I thought they would, especially going with Venom’s King in Black thing

I also was not a fan of that. It felt like the issues that a movie like TASM 2 had.

I didn’t mind Harry as Venom as I felt it worked well in this universe, but I do agree that the entire storyline was rushed. My biggest issue was how they handled Venom as the main villain with him trying to take over the world. To me, Venom works best as a villain turned anti-hero, but given his actions in the story I’m not sure how they could redeem Venom in a possible spin-off game now.

Well it’s a game obviously he needed an army for us to fight

@@trevorphilips9065 then use a different villain for it

@@JohnDoe-gt3jr No because Kraven was perfect for this role no other villain would have fit better here simple as that

@@trevorphilips9065 how about Alistair Smythe? He's a famed robotics expert that could've been hired by Norman as a candidate to find a cure for Harry. Since he's a robotics scientist, why not make androids or anti-spider bots while we're at it. Bots that can emit sonic sensors to eliminate Symbiote option (not that it's possible to begin with since the symbiote abilities are mixed in with Peter's normal abilities).

@@trevorphilips9065 there's a lot of possibilities here. Kraven's role in this is because he wants to die fighting. Not even because of the thrill of the hunt, but purely because of a suicidal fantasy. That's stupid. I'd rather it'd be like a situation where Harry does kill someone and gets their just desserts for it. Maybe Smythe experimented on Harry or the symbiote with the excuse of "evolution" or "progress"

Same the game left me feeling a little disappointed

As hype as I was for SM2 and counting down the days to launch I only had any excitement for the venom parts of the game other than that the entire game was a drag and I cant even complete NG+ and I’ve completed the first game multiple times and even got the platinum twice for it on ps4 and the remaster

Same​@@ETGamer-yl6dm

@@ETGamer-yl6dm it just doesn't feel like a great sequel, felt like an average one. Sequels to great games should not be average

@@theoutsiderjess4869How was the game disappointing

There's a get well soon-type card in the first game with Eddie's signature on it, as a hint

I’m not sure if this is true as I would have to find the source but from what I read the DLC for the first spider-man wasn’t received as well so when the miles morales game came out it was a stand-alone game. So it’s possible that the sales for the DLC affected them possibly doing DLC for Spider-Man 2 and instead will probably just make a standalone game. Maybe those storylines could be concluded in the supposed venom spin off to try to maximize sales instead of releasing the story in pieces like the city that never sleeps dlc. I personally didn’t like the story dlc for the first spider-man game. Having hammerhead be the main villain just didn’t work for me personally. But what I said about the sales figures for the DLC might not be true there could have been many other reasons.

@@GeekBlvdit probably didn’t help that the first game dlc was announced like right when the game was coming out and was maybe $30 if I remember correctly? I feel like 6 months out from 2’s release considering all they’ve added was quality of life updated, time and weather, ng+ and mostly horrible suits the game feels like it’s dead. I’ve finished ng+ and already got the platinum when it came out and I don’t think I’ve touched the game since

@@Cornholio174they didn’t even add weather changing, and there’s no character bios tab either

@@hotdog3392 have they added the option to reply podcasts yet?

Facts and that's coming from me. They dropped the ball SOOO HARD after having the LAYUP of the CENTURY

@@no.1spidey-fan182 TBH, i'm worried about SM 3, the only villains they got left are Green Goblin and Carnage. Carnage is not exactly known for his depth and the way they wrote Norman is previous games is not any different from Doc Ock or Harry.

@@onglanh5329 Same. I'm not interested or hyped for the 3rd game until further notice at this point. The sequel killed all my hope for this franchise😔. I did see the Goblin design though and that's cool and I guess

@@onglanh5329I think they might tackle Carnage in the DLC for SM2 since it wouldn’t make sense for the symbiote to exist however long until the events of Spider-Man 3

My Man chose to speak a very controversial truth here and honestly i do have to agree with this. Despite the weird arkham tank here. The Arkham series had great pacing with each other and i always come back to playing each of the arkham games but when it comes to Spiderman, only Spiderman ps4 is the only one i replay again.

While I'm not a huge fan of this game compared to the others, I do remember God of War Ragnarok also took forever to release more content, so it might be a Sony thing.

@@andyowski5021 Probably, considering that the first game’s DLC each came out a month after the initial September release month.

tbf, Insomniac did get hacked.

Elden ring with a year and a half:

@@shaunavant532pretty sure it was 2 years for Elden ring. But that game is massive and the dlc takes 40+ hours to beat so you can’t compare that to a spiderman dlc

Well, your choice if you let negative opinions influence your judgement.

@@user-ts9qz5oy3j I appreciate your perspective, but my opinion is based on my own experience with the game, not external influences. Let's respect that different players can have diverse, valid opinions about the same game.

@@XJ43088 Fine by me. The game is still good.

Yeah, this game could have been way, way more in retrospect. I really like Spider-Man, but man… It’s unfortunate it had to end this way.

Y’all are just yapping I promise you when the Spider-Man 3 trailer drops everyone is gonna be hyped for it

1st game has the better story but 2nd game has the better gameplay so it’s half and half

​@@trevorphilips9065I agree even tho i despise the parry system and the new gadgets. If they can give me back my impact webs im a happy camper

@@trevorphilips9065I’ll take the game with the better gameplay, story is nowhere as important as gameplay

@@onlywiigame. Sure maybe if you are some kid who has a low attention span then yeah I get it

@@trevorphilips9065Ever heard of an opinion

Same bc I also love the game but it also has its flaws I agree with you

True but gow ragnarok had a LOT more content to keep us entertained than Spider-Man 2 did which is why it wasn’t as noticeable

We need a directors cut instead of venom

Yeah, MJ was definitely a step up personality wise. I still don't like basically making her Lois Lane though up to this point.

The story had its misses for sure, but I still think it’s vastly superior to Miles’ story. I really just could not care about Phin 😂 Kraven was so better as an antagonist

Imagine this game had the storyline like Spider-Man PS4 but had the same friendly neighborhood app and activities from Miles Morales and Sm2 with the gameplay and transversal from Sm2? That's what Spider-Man 2 was supposed to be like

I actually think mj was more annoying this game lmao, shes just so incredibly unrealstic being john wick now its actually immersion breaking. Also beating a dead horse here but that face... that aint mj from spiderman 1, cant convince me otherwise

@@KIN1311 Oh I don't like that stuff either but in 1 I thought she was a nag constantly. Dude took a bite of pizza after not eating for a day and she freaked out.

I think the “leaked dlc” is just more cut content they forgot to remove from the files. I think they’re putting all their eggs in the Venom spinoff basket along with Spider-Man 3

I honestly prefer the Advanced suit 1.0 design wise but the orange color on that suit was always what held it back for me.

​@XxHUNT3RN4T0RxX One of the suit styles for the advanced suit 1.0 should have been the colours of the advanced suit 2.0

@@Kyle_Hanson which one? Webman, black suit variant or red, black and green? All three are garbage in my opinion. They should’ve just updated the default colors from orange to red and make the blue more vibrant.

Nah bro we long over due for some DLC for the game, we got DLC for the first game like a month after it came out….we’re like 7-8 months after launch with no post content at all.. other than a few horrendous suits. I think we might just have to wait for another 2+ years to see what happens 🤷🏽‍♂️

Precisely. Apparently, Insomniac was supposed to have received an extra year to work on the game, which means Spider-Man would have seen its release this year in place of what we got.

Facts. It was probably just another way to advertise the PS5 too

I don't think it was meant to convince spiderman fans

Good looking but it always reminded me of Bucky Cap, tbh

They got leaked bro some hacker is at fault here

@@trevorphilips9065that happened months ago, insomniac had time to recover, and time to atleast bring out any news for future plans in spider-man 2 whether it’s new suits or if dlc is coming or not, just a short notice would suffice

I’m glad to see you back!

They did for both with the last 2 games, it'd be a bit weird if we went back to just one, I think

Who’s we? I recall people being hyped to play as two Spider-Men, also miles is insanely popular (just look at Spiderverse)

I rather have multiple spider people so long as they have unique things to them

The flame side missions should’ve been a part 1 of a multi-part dlc for carnage like how the ps4 dlc was done. The game should’ve focused on Miles and Peter trying to stop Kraven from hunting the villains where they team up with the villains to fight off kraven, but in the end he kills the villain. It shows peter and Miles actually try to help the villains instead of just telling the player that. Have kraven be the one who hired taskmaster and have kraven kill him to show how dangerous he is. Kraven should also chase after wraith and prowler because it’s weird he goes after black cat but not them. Harry should be more careless and immature because he’s been in that tube for at least a year and in that time peter has grown up and lived his life, that should start the rift that pete and harry have and it’s widened because pete is constantly leaving harry behind to be spiderman with miles, this develops harry’s jealousy of miles. Have mj worry about peter leaving to risk his life instead of upset that she has to support both of them financially because she understands that peter is saving new york when he leaves , this is because kraven is a lot more deadly than Peter’s other villains. Have harry be a hero longer than he is and maybe his mistakes cost the lives of the villains the spider bros are trying to save this causes peter to tell harry to stay behind on missions giving more fuel to harry’s fire. Have Kraven be venom, it’s a really cool concept that doesn’t just throw away the starting villains that the games tend to do, this elevates kraven as well as giving venom the spotlight in the game. Peter has to fight kravenom to get the symbiote from to harry who’s dying without it. In the end peter is forced to either destroy the symbiote or contain it to save harry from being twisted by its effects and this will lead to harry to take the experimental g formula which turns him into the green goblin, because his father is too old to be fighting spiderman and harry still has a grudge against peter and miles. These would improve the story imo and be more narratively satisfying compared to what we have currently. Here’s hoping Sony learns their lesson of rushing out undercooked products (they won’t).

Tbh I think the symbiote making the user aggressive makes sense because it’s gives more incentive to get rid of it, while also playing into a theme of addiction. And I don’t think it’s bad to diverge from the original source like this. ‘94, USM, and Spectacular Spider-Man had symbiote arcs that were in some ways, more memorable and well received than their original 616 counterpart.

The raimi suit? Really?

@@lightdarksoul2097 And what's wrong with it?

@@mijofalco6355 nothing just a bit basic but I mean it is the first for many

@@lightdarksoul2097 It may be basic compared to the more extravagant suits. But it's iconic. It has so much value to it. I like it because of what it means to me and to spider-man as a whole.

@@mijofalco6355 i can understand that. I prefer a bit more but then again many suits wouldn't exist without that one. Plus the web pattern was always cool

I assume you mean Gotham Knights because that isn't an arkham game.
