Honest Review: Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is not Amazing 

I can honestly see them doing ultimate goblin for the 3rd game and that includes Norman killing Harry

Yeah and why he is in coma Antivenom can't heal him ?

Fucking hell you people just lack any form of comprehensive skills. Dude is 24, he's not "retiring", that would directly go against "with great power comes great responsibility", he's simply taking a break to get his life in check, the game EXPLICITLY states this. As for harry dying, I fully agree, norman's current motivation is pretty stupid

Yeah Honestly I see NO good reason for him to survive. They had a pretty emotional goodbye and it would make narrative sense. There's a lot of those moments in the game

They didn't kill Harry because they need him for the Venom spin-off game.

i agree

That was ridiculously

Peter wasn't nerfed. People these days like to overreact to everything. Insomniac's version of Spider Man is always tough and he has 10 years of experience. He beated most villains like Electro, Vulture, Shocker, Scorpion, etc countless times. But yet along the way he was beaten countless times too as shown in the first one. Whatever we see in Marvel's Spider Man 2 for Peter is the point. Insomniac is showing us the struggling side if Peter, something we barely seen. But both Peter and Miles have their fair share of defeats from villains. Although yes Miles had shined in this game but Insomniac is just trying to show that Peter can always call Miles in case if he needs him. Plus Peter was op with the black symbiote and anti Venom symbiote and he still managed to make a comeback without it. Y'all expect Peter In the game to not get a single hit. If Peter was too op then it wouldn't be impactful. In the game he did beat Kraven and almost kills him and Miles had to step in. He beaten Lizard, and Venom too.

@@Shahriyararin63 Peter took nothing but Ls before he got the symbiote suit.

@@Shahriyararin63 Peter in the story do something, only after he took symbiote suit.

@@JAYDOG1337A well that's the point. The goal is to make Kraven threatening and menacing in a way where Kraven is not who Peter think is he is. He needs to learn what is he going up against. He can't just beat him easily that wouldn't make it impactful. In the comics, Peter was beaten by Kraven too like he was shot by a rifle in Kraven's Last Hunt comic.

​@@Shahriyararin63they didn't have to make him incompet

the fact norman has faced no backlash when he was basically simon krieger from miles game made no sense to me the fact hes free is crazy to me.

@@HardHatDagumiles game was terrible i dont see they hype & its almost as bad as s2 , both games were half assed & the stories were way to short

makes it worse that miles game at 1 point was $70 😂😂😂😂

Miles was not under the influence of the symbiote Peter was Although on the game peter should had killed kraven to give some weight on his arc.. we didn’t had any post black suit arc at all and peter didn’t suffer any consequences for his actions because everyone got venomized the next day so everyone just forgives him

Yes

Well it wasn’t

​@@doomguydemonkilleryes it is because it's a sequel better than the original. The only thing that the first one got that's better is story

​@@Shahriyararin63Everything besides web slinging is a downgrade from the first game. There's less options for both combat and stealth which makes the gameplay extremely repetitive

@@0xycon you keep your mouth shut! Story is the only thing that the first one got that's better. The side missions are better because they are less repetitive and less filler unlike the first one. The first one has unnecessary filler missions and are more repetitive. More content doesn't mean better because quality over quantity. The side missions like Mysterio, Wraith, Howard and Grandpa side missions are all better then the side missions from the first game. It's a huge improvement from its predecessors like combat, traversal, boss fights and MJ segments. Combat is more improved because it has depth like it has more combat varieties like spider arm abilities, symbiote abilities and Miles' bio electric abilities. It also has parry feature which adds depth to the combat. And there is rage mode. You don't just use square button, you also use R1 and L1 buttons too.

Literally and the first character u play as in the final mission is Mj like we didn’t want that and before the last venon boss we should have gotten Peter and miles fighting venom around the city

​@@akai3974 Lol yeah, Miles could've replaced MJ in all her sections giving him more purpose in the main story.

@@Sagegabs there’s like 2 Mj missions I like in this games and 2 has a bit which I don’t like

The first 2 acts were perfect, it's just the third act that was a bit rushed. It could have been at least an additional 2-5 hours long. I think Venom wasn't fleshed out enough because the team wanted more Venom in the future so they wanted to save more Venom in his spin off game. Btw, according to leaks following the hack in Insomniac, Venom spin off game is coming in 2025. Here's to hoping he will be expanded in his own spin off game. At least the good outweighs the bad

@@Shahriyararin63 the games does seem fun to play, but the story is still disappointing. I heard about that leak. Is there any information on who is gonna be Venom?

@@GiovanniAlckmimRusso story is not really disappointing because the first 2 acts were perfect, it's just the third act that was rushed. It has flaws but the good outweighs the bad. To be fair, every games have flaws. As for the Venom spin off game leak, it doesn't say who will be Venom in it. It just says it's coming in 2025

@@Shahriyararin63 not really. They mishandled the characters, especially Peter, and the story was rushed. Regarding Venom, let's hope they do something great with it.

@@GiovanniAlckmimRusso not really because only the third act was rushed and no the characters are nicely handled. Peter and Miles character arc are amazing especially the redemption arc of Mr Negative.

I figured they ripped it straight out of a newer comic, at least it looked cool here

They ripped off King in Black so bad they couldn't even credit Donny Cates for it.

Agreed

Good outweighs the bad. Although every games have flaws to be honest

​@@Shahriyararin63this. I really don't care what anyone says regarding the game, it has the greatest traversal system of any game hands down

I hope you know that guy copies and paste his comments all the time​@@lm_slayer1

Can you please give the source of it? I need it

Because its fun. As someone with VERY minor experience in game design and writing, I live for dropping random hints at what's going to happen.

they nerfed bro so hard to get the symbiote on him

​@@0xyconfr but it still doesn't make sense. Could have been done better

It was a poisoned knife. And he was stabbed in a vital spot.

@@rajamohanareddygayam5309 bro tanked scorpion Just fine

@@rajamohanareddygayam5309 no it wasn’t Knife was normal get off kraven dick And accept They nerf Spider-Man Just for him to get it

Almost like it was an optional cute little side quest that further added to Haileys character 😮

@@madminer8041hailey’s a okay character but nobody is really invested in her, so to play as her is just boring and if you want to 100% your forced to complete her mission anyway and instead of that there could be a more interesting side mission that maybe brings in other marvel characters that people want to see

@@reveriesremedy You gotta be helle petty to hate on one small side mission that poses no harm lmao. Besides, weren't the Flame, Chameleon and Mysterio missions enough? Or do you guys just need fan service every two seconds? How are you gonna get invested in a character if they don't do anything to begin with? The mission served it's purpose and made me appreciate Hailey more. Sometimes you need a break from brainrot action scenes lmao

@@madminer8041you can’t even do Mysterio missions as peter

@@bll1 Ok? That's why Miles is there lmao? What's the issue? Miles already has barely anything to do why take more away from him? 😭

Given the "if MJ is a little OP I don't give a sh*t" statement she'll be playable again and they will triple down for the Spiderman 3. They seem very adamant on keeping the writers too as well as the SBI consulting firm (who they fully support) as shown with the upcoming Wolverine.

Shut up

I can’t stand S Jane Watson, that’s the prob😒

Lol you should see the first game’s MJ missions

MJ model is fine, shes here to help, not for you to unzip your pants and jerk it to pixels.

she thinks she's kanye

she doesnt look like that tho lol

Peter 2

Because Peter is useless according to the game

I had the opposite issue, weird...

Buy a external hard drive.

Can do thank you friend 🧡

@@aaronatkinson177 No problem. Hope you enjoy Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

Oh well do but right I'm mostly focusing on waiting for tekken to come out and under night in birth 2 to release

Is there a specific point in particular you didn’t like? Also yeah, I had someone answer my question about why Dr. Connors is so commonly associated with the symbiote (something from the comics). They have since deleted their comment for some reason. If you know the same source I’m still very curious to hear about it lol

@@JC_Chance oh my apologies, I have my points I need to copy and paste them because even tho I saw issues as understandable I wasn't trying to be rude

I also liked it at first. But trust me. it gets old pretty fast when replaying it, because of how easy it is, even on Ulmtimate difficulty.

Yes

I don't think it's all that bad design-wise - even if you don't like the colour scheme as is, you have the option of a few others to choose from for this suit which are much better. The only thing that really irks me about its design though is the hair sticking out at the top. It adds more to the point made earlier in the video about Peter and Miles not really trying to hide their identities anymore.

No I like it a lot

If they kept the top of his mask closed, I would have liked it more. It’s just that having his hair out, looks dumb. The point is hiding your identity, everyone will know who he is because of his dumb ass haircut they gave him.

@@jlopez240gaming7 maybe but its just the developers want something special you know

Also what the hell with the suits miles had all the cool ones while peters mostly looked the same

No

It’s not bad but it could have been a lot better

How is it woke

Absolutely not. The story suffers A LOT compared to the first one The writing has many flaws.

​@@spider-man500 the story is amazing that's why it's nominated for best narrative. That's only for the third act. The first 2 acts were perfect.

​@@Shahriyararin63OMG, this idiot again. It was a terrible story. There was a reason it didn't win. It was only nominated because it was popular and there weren't alot of other AAA story driven games that came out last year. The Game Awards are purely a popularity contest trying to be the oscars nothing more nothing less.

RiiiiiIight🤨

​@@Shahriyararin63The second act was rushed Peter should've had been longer

you just stuck with spiderman 1

Okay, not the worst. Most disappointing given the hype based on the positive reputation of the previous one? Yes. But the worst Spider-Man game overall? No

@cozminr You keep your mouth shut. None of the Insomniac Spider Man games are bad. All are amazing. They are well received by critics and fans and sold plenty of copies. Insomniac is the king of Spider Man games. The last ever worst Spider Man game we got was TASM 2 game. Marvel's Spider Man 2 got 91 on Metacritic making it the highest Metacritic score of any Marvel game. That's no where near mid. It's fantastic and it's objectively better then the first one. It did deliver. The story was amazing that's why it's nominated for best narrative. The first 2 acts were perfect, it's just the third act that was a bit rushed. But the story for the first one is a bit better (the only thing that the first one got that's better). But better game overall is Marvel's Spider Man 2 The side missions are better because they are less repetitive and less filler unlike the first one. The first one has unnecessary filler missions and are more repetitive. More content doesn't mean better because quality over quantity. The side missions like Mysterio, Wraith, Howard and Grandpa side missions are all better then the side missions from the first game.

@@Shahriyararin63Bro the game is a step down from the first game story wise. Venom feels more like an obstacle rather then a character, Miles feels more like an afterthought rather than a main character, and Peter is strangely nerfed in this game.

task master was in the first game?

​@@joshski21 ...

Honestly Miles being more of a side character would have made the story better. We could have gotten more time with Peter and Harry, or the black suit arc which was rushed

The game is not trash and it’s a video game deal with it Peter wasn’t nerfed and he wasn’t written to be a joke that’s a flat out lie and miles has more powers than Peter

@@Thedarkknight27474 In 2018 peter 1v2's some sinister six members and fights 5 of them at the same time for a few minutes. In this game he gets his ass beaten in literally every fight without the symbiote.

​@@Thedarkknight27474Blame sweet baby

@@Thedarkknight27474while I won’t say that the game is complete trash, it’s definitely a downgrade from the first game no doubt. Peter is supposed to be the main character of this story and it’s like they took their attention off of him to put MJ and Miles in the spotlight. Which in my opinion is bad.

@@Peter7DA it’s not a downgrade and miles gets captured like in the middle part of the game

Thanks for clearing that up. My point was that I was able to see everyone as Peter, but got nobody as Miles. So the problem is likely I just didn't do enough random crimes as him

Nah, I believe there was a bug where Peter just didn’t show up. On my 2nd playthrough I played as Miles far more than Peter and not once did he ever show up when he didn’t have the Symbiote. Plenty of other people pointed this out during the first month of launch. Not sure if it’s fixed now, but it was definitely an issue.

I've been able to run into Wraith after beating the entire Flame storyline as both Miles and Peter, weirdly enough.

Fam…Peter literally never shows up to help Miles in crimes. Ever

Coz they know fools will still defend it. You can tell they didn't pour their hearts into this game like they did the first. You are right, the gameplay was meh. Marginal improvements. It's 2023 and we still can't web swing with two webs or are forced to wall run if Peter even smells a wall next to him. We need more options for traversal like older games gave us. Web wings won't win game of the yr.its easy. They should try and add more Spidey like moves but that requires work and creativity. Same things applies to combat, flashy moves ain't gonna sway me from the fact that they used as a crutch to not actually give Spidey more combat moves.

​​​@@Owen-sx4jjno because Insomniac out their hearts and souls into it. They know how to make a good game. Sure it has flaws but the good outweighs the bad. Even the first one has flaws. Insomniac never disappoints. Their track record is amazing and they never made a bad game. All of their games are critically acclaimed and sold plenty of copies. Insomniac is confident and passionate about Spider Man 2. They really meant it when they said Marvel's Spider Man 2 is the best game they have made before it launched. It paid off big time as it got 91 on Metacritic while the first one got 87. That 91 on Metacritic making it the highest Metacritic score of any Marvel game. And it sold plenty of copies of well. It's a huge improvement from its predecessors like combat, traversal, boss fights and MJ segments. Combat is more improved because it has depth like it has more combat varieties like spider arm abilities, symbiote abilities and Miles' bio electric abilities. It also has parry feature which adds depth to the combat. And there is rage mode. You don't just use square button, you also use R1 and L1 buttons too. So the gameplay was awesome and better then meh

@@Shahriyararin63 keep yapping and spiderman 2 is the best game they’ve made bruh it don’t even come close to any of the ratchet and clank games or the spyro games lol they feel and are more passionate and critics don’t mean shit they don’t know how to review anything and all they did was make small improvements stop d riding and over exaggerating play more games kid looks like you need to widen you’re horizon to video games other than spiderman

@@Omen_Rocks123 critics knows how to review and they are spot on. Marvel's Spider Man 2 beated all the Rachet and Clank games with 91 on Metacritic and that's Insomniac highest Metacritic score of any of their games. So that determines that it is Insominac's best game. They made most improvements. The first game has flaws too. Quit acting like the first game has 0 criticisms. The majority loved it. Meanwhile, you're in the minority so that means you lose. Not only it's well received from critics and fans but also sold plenty of copies. And because of how amazing it is and everyone loved it, it builds on the hype for future of Insomniac games like Wolverine and Marvel's Spider Man 3.

@@Shahriyararin63 first of all critics don’t know how to review or play game we forgetting how a critic couldn’t even get past the tutorial in cuphead and how critics praised the living shit out of the last of us 2 and every cod game giving it 9s when it’s the same thing over and over so no critics scores don’t mean anything cause they don’t know how to review and play and it doesn’t mean it’s insomniacs best game cause it has lots of flaws heck ratchet and clank rift apart clears tf out of spiderman 2 cause everything it gives us is original and they changed a lot but spiderman 2 barely changes anything and it’s shown to be the more controversial disappointing game while ratchet and clank has hyped up people more for the next title since it was a great revive to the franchise and when did I say I like the first game I think that’s mid asf aswell only good thing is the story the gameplay is mid and repetitive but the story and characters are way better and spiderman 2 hasn’t been well revived at all people have been clowning on it so much to the point it’s a joke like we forgetting the gay side mission mj being a bitch 24/7 and the female developer inserting her face as MJ everyone has trashed on the game idk what world you’re living in actually play more games cause imagine calling Spiderman 2 perfect when it does so much bad shit
