How I Really Feel About Marvel's Spider-Man 2 

Shoutout to Spider-man Creative Director Bryan Intihar of whom I love dearly. Also watch me play every spiderman game ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xnDB2PU8Q9g.html

The weirdest thing for me is the lack of Police. Like come on, how're the hunters just able to go speeding through New York without any Police in sight.

Just realised this guy isn’t in the millions for views and subs. HOW? IDK? I love his videos and it’s great quality. Keep it up 👍🏻

The thing that bothers me is that when you beat the game there is nothing to do.

Why do their faces looks so plasticky and weird. I never realized how much worse they looked until you show spider 1 next to them. I also have to say there was 0 grit to any dialogue it feels like it was drowned in sanitizer. Great video sir!

Personally, Spidey 2 felt like a linear-open world game. It wanted you to find very specific items/people as opposed to naturally stumbling upon those. Perhaps that’s Insomniac’s formula but with some of the other 90+ rated open world games (Elden Ring, ER, GTA V, BotW, TotK, etc) they all had a level of “Whoa! I found that! How cool!” and although I LOVED Spidey 2… it never once gave me that :/ it was a neat story and obviously I teared up at points, but I’m done with it now.

the next spiderman game they make should really take there time with the story.

"It kchaks, guys. It kchaks!" This quote lives rent-free in my brain

You are criminally underrated. The content, the editing, the format, the personality. I would subscribe 10 times if I could

I’m happy you dug in on the iron spider arms. WORST part of the game for me. The way they just appear out of cloth outfits is so nasty. They ruin every single outfit almost. Big bright metallic arms just popping out. I’m Peter uses those very rarely and the fact they did it for a whole game is so stupid.

you are legitimately making my favorite video game content right now. Keep it up!

Take this as a compliment. I’d forgotten I’d subscribed to you and my god what a treat it was when this video showed up

You deserve more love man, your channel is going to pop off, soon

Dude you have become my new favorite youtuber atp....absolutely goated channel and video making style!!!!

Just wanted to say you deserved those million views on the last video. Congrats my man! Keep the good content coming!

We can have a chasing venom through the city on PS1 but not ps5 is insane

man I love your videos, the humor, editing, everything! keep doing it man

That thumbnail is just about right. Not only were we missing more Venom voice lines. Not only did Insomniac slack off by not adding new game plus, weather change & mission replayability at launch. Not only did this game launch buggy. Not only did the story feel rushed with Harry & the symbiote Peter segments. But this game suffers heavily from a lot of wasted potential. Overall, I give this game a 6/10. Not bad, but should've been greater.

Dude your editing is incredible

Loving the content, keep up the great goosin’ work!

Finally an honest review. This game needed way more time in the oven. The story is leagues below the last 2 games to the point where I have to ask if something went wrong. This game is my biggest fear for Insomniac come true. They’ve been bought out by Sony now and you can tell. The campaign has so many walking-talking sections and QTE cutscenes compared to both the last games it feels like they ran out of time. Sony definitely pushed them to rest on their laurels to get the game out. It hurts because this game has a masterpiece in it. Just needed more time.

Thanks bob

Interesting video, I liked your takes and agreed with much of it. Editing's a little too meme-y for my taste but that's the beauty of content creation. Looking forward to your next videos. also I think at 16:56 you meant Spider-Man 1 instead of Spider-Man 2 on the left

This supposedly the spectacular Spider-Man game always lacked smth and I felt not very satisfied with it when I watched the gameplays but now I know there's not just one but a few issues thanks to you and your amazing new perfectly scientific and never ever wrong Spider-Feel-O-Meter (cool name btw). Also, LOVE your videos Zenkai, they're totally awesome and soooo fun to just sit and watch and have and share opinions on Spider-Man contents Keep doing the amazing job!

Bro I was drinking coffee and you Bryan intihar moments made it fall twice 😂also your underrated as hell!+1 sub

Let's gooooo I love when you upload!

I dont know what bob is on but he just won't stop

man this guy is underrated thank you youtube for introducing me to him

The One Thing They Needddddd to add is Couch Co-Op I wanted To Play this with my dad but nooooooo you cant

Dude thaaaaank you for validating my opinion that the iron spider legs are lame and have always been lame.

Hi goose. Just to let you know, Spider-Man’s partnership with iron man gave him access to stark tech and an intern position at stark too. That’s how he gets access and can build the stuff he has without being rich. 😊

the part for the story for NORMAN is so funny 🤣

Spiderman 2 is not as goosetastic as it should have been😔. Respect and love to Insomniac though.

This video was amazing

thanks bob

MY BOY IS BAAACK! 🙌🏻

20:10 I once ate an entire miniature thing of Nutella, with my bare hands💀, plz don’t judge me……

I’ve played hundreds of games this is my second favorite game of all time

Whyyyyy lol I’m doing my daily errands thinking about Bryan Intihar now

Thanks Bob

hey Zenkai loved the video like the last one for the story topic, i think they wanted to place into the story way too much,

Can't believe I did not get notification for ur latest video and found it by accident in the recommended part

Lowkey this puts into words exactly why I think Batman Arkham is better

You hit most of my problems with this game on the head. It was probably the most hyped I've ever been for a video game, and now it just makes me sad to think about. I think the character models in particular are the worst part, bc some of them in certain scenes look downright goofy. Personally, I think 5 years should be plenty of time. It was just never going to live up to the hype.

I understand your points, still when I played this, I thought it is one of the best games ever made. It took me like 5 days and haven’t played it anymore since then, since I completed it 100%, so if there is one point to critic for me it would be the replayability. Waiting for some DLC.

You gotta play ghost of tsushima. Would love to see your skill describing that game..its an incredible game

these games have some Awesome concepts, but they keep doing the "Ubisoft" thing instead of specialising the game even further, which makes sense when you want to make the most money i guess

This guy deserves way more than 700 likes wth

i love this channel so much. thank you. i love you (unless you’re not into that)

You have good points, but not all. With Kraven's army, like all crime of groups of villains, theyre always in surreal or fictional large groups beyond logic in the weirdest places, bur thats the game. Also, Kraven's float has cloaking tech and he is rich and an entrepeneur with houses everywhere so ofc he would have easy ways in. Animal drones because theyre hunters and they prey on others so hence the predatory drones. They dont judt scan, they prey. And yeah New York is weird, if Insomniac wasnt so rushed, they could have improved on the npcs in the streets from the previous games and have them feel in the moment or behave differently. Or theyd have hints to fixing and cleaning the city each chapter, albeit via the podcasts of Danika cos it lacks rn. They do mention the symbiotes etc and fighting back, but we dont see it. We dont see much of the police or military at all.

Press Circle Then Press X To Extend Your Dodge

What you can say about story I do love how they made Harry Vemon. Its a great change it creates way more tension when Peter gains the suit cause Harry is dying again and emotional attachment when you're told you have to kill Harry to stop Vemon

My only criticisms of the game were putting Miles in that god awful suit at the end of the game, and giving the symbiote back to Peter and making him Anti-Venom Spider-Man after they just took it off of him. Made it feel like all of Mile’s work saving Peter was for nothing, and had to save Peter’s ass for the second time.

Spider-Man 2 feels like "Spider-Man Arkham asylum" I mean when did spiderman use web wings to just fly across the whole city of new York?

I do remember the kachacks thank you for the reference.

Finally, an honest review that isn't overly and stupidly negative, but still reasonably points out some of the flaws that this otherwise great game has. It fails in some parts but in my opinion, nearly adds and improves on everything the first to Insomniac Spider-Man games introduced. I personally enjoyed the story a little more because of how the story built on a lot of the previous characters more while obviously and unfortunately killing off other beloved ones off screen. (yes, Symbiote and Kraven bias mostly. Others may disagree but I LOVED their portrayals in this game and am ignoring some inconsistencies with spider-sense. . .) My only personal complaints with this game really was some stuff that you pointed out. The lack of attention to the gadgets and stealth from the last two games in favor of the new abilities as well as the story's somewhat weird and rather sudden pacing from Kraven to Venom without properly focusing on the fact that HARRY BIT KRAVEN'S HEAD OFF for very long. Here's to hoping the third game has some extra padding to the story to REALLY flesh it out properly. I genuinely thought the game was nearly flawless during my playthrough until you really pointed out some fairly noticeable issues, kudos to you.

See, I think the best interpretation if a symbiote story in a video game is spider-man web of shadows. 1. You decide which path you go down(evil or good), 2. The symbiote suit actually felt different than the red suit(you could seamlessly change between the 2), 3. The whole city changed is a realistic way and the symbiote invasion actually felt significant.

Great video but I will say for Norman he said save my son not put him in a coma lol The Avengers should have been there but I'm pretty sure Peter said in Spider-Man PS4 they are rarely in the city & sometimes off-world

Oh and one more thing, it’s woke.

Yeah when this game first dropped I remember after Venom was officially in the story, I took a week off of playing.. It wasn’t even because of work or me being busy, I just got bored .. I believe i went back to Resident Evil 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 .. Then i finished the game, 100%’d the districts waited for NG+, played for like 2 days and again, stopped for another week before finishing the story for a second time . It’s just not as fun/engaging as the first Spider-Man .

Marvel Spider Man 2 was rushed but it turned out to be good, unlike games such as Sonic Boom rise of lyric & Mega Man X6

Well when Norman said save my boy he didn't expect Harry to be in a coma from a forceful separation between him and the symbiote, he thought he would be saved and conscious. Also Peter is the type of guy with so much emotion that he would apologize for things that he screwed up, remember he's been Spider-Man for 10 years at this point he has so much experience good and bad, plus it ties into a theme seen in other Spider-Man stories, the stress of the job and balancing his double-life. (Plus they never said Peter was retiring, he's just taking a break after the Venom incident), Mary Jane wants to make a difference and help others the best way she can because one line she says "if I helped one person it was worth", and while she was a reporter in the previous games, it was going to be much harder to spread the truth with Jameson returning to the Bugle and being her new boss concerned about controversy instead of the truth. Ok, where do I start with this: Sandman was tearing the city apart to find his daughter after Kraven's hunters were after Marko and trying to put Keemia in the crossfire. Also Kraven's drones that resemble animals are called Talon Drones and Beast Drones, oh and in Venom's mind he could help Harry heal the world through symbiosis that way everyone will be safe from all diseases that threaten them and the hosts can be part of the hive mind, because Venom was more about bonding with people then dominate, despite a little bit of corrupted impulses to dominate thanks to the Symbiote God Knull. Kraven has a rich family background, oligarch wealth to be exact from Volgograd, Russia to get every weapon, supply, and transport he could get, plus if you listen closely to the hunters some of them talk about how they join Kraven, plus the Kravinoff empire is big news in Volgograd. (Also Kraven's a big game hunter, of course he would style his army after anything from his hunts, plus he spent a lot of time in Africa besides Russia) Kraven wanted his hunters to find the equal he was searching for, they catch the candidates and he hunts them in wherever Kraven picks his battleground, plus the shift from Act 2 to Act 3 shows how strong Venom was when fighting Kraven, and the great hunter got what he wanted an equal predator to end his life because he refuses to let cancer be the death of him. Yuri Lowenthal said in that interview that there was some visual problems with the original face and the decision was made to change it to improve the mocap performance that Yuri was doing for the game, plus the PS5 graphics were focusing on everything in the game not just the character designs but the whole city and hud elements too.

This game was a missed opportunity to implement web of shadows mechanics here. WoS imo has the best fighting for spiderman.

Why does he sound like venom from Spider-Man 3’s game when it goes in black and white

insomniac could say he based the arms off ottos but yeah I agree the arms are lame

Christopher Nolan Flexing for 3 hours is my favorite movie, how'd you know?

Wait so the problem with traversal is that it’s so good?

Yo, it kchaks!!!!! Oh yeah....

The combat could’ve done better with countering like with shadow of mordor or even assassin’s creed with the combos chaining with other enemies for criticals.

its problem is ubisoft-like open world and pacing which is little rushed.. Every other thing with it is pretty fine

idk how web wings are so praised.... it removes any reason to swing around other then height & is a largely railroaded mechanic with little player experimentation. (i.e. you use it to glide straight/down or use wind tunnels and air vents which kinda fuckin suck mechanically, theres no independent physics to them its all animation based and are antithetical traversal wise but that last part is more or less personal opinion.)

Wait do people usually rage at the combat? I think it's too easy lmao what

20:56 hot take, but i like the look.

Make it make sensssssssssse.....

you look like blonde peter at the start of ITSV.

Buckle in for a long comment of my problems with this game. Venom was heavily advertised in ads and videos and he had maybe 2 hours of screen time? (I'm being generous) Miles is sidelined for much of the story and has 0 of his own villains to fight. Only Peter's. Kravens entire reason for being in NY is "i kill someone cool before i die". There is no emotional attachment like there was with Doc Ock or Venom (as Harry) Venom's whole thing was heal the world but not once did I see any attempt to "heal" anything beyond NY. MJ missions that many, many people did not want. Its very obvious that by credits end, this was a very safe sequel. But the number 1 thing that bothered me the most. The entire sinister six was killed OFF SCREEN. gone. Never to return. This screams lazy writing to me. "Uhhh i dont know what to do with this characters so lets kill them off"

10:23 That’s electro not Shocker

We were supposed to have Multiplayer and destructible environments 😢 god what the f happened in insomniac

it would be actually sick if you could fight kraven randomly while swinging through the city and he has a small hp bar but after he *ahem* gets his head bitten off, he stops coming out

1 hour gang

I loved spiderman 2

Man, this had so much potential to be as memorable as the 1st game, but the story didn't hit. Peter apologizing, MJ doing stealth take downs, and the whole plot is just a mess. I really hope the 3rd game makes more of an impact.

me i think everyone needs to ckack that like and subscribe button

Have to disagree, Goose. Peter Parker changes throughout the game, Harry changes, the game fleshes out Mysterio's character etc etc

This game didn't exceed the expectations I had for it, which is why the negatives are very clear in my opinion. To keep it cute & brief, for me the issues boil down to the story, final Venom boss fight, incredibly missed potential, lack of great suits, not enough innovation in gameplay & overall this game just wasn't what I was expecting after so long.

You're so undersubbed man

Kchak

18:50 💩

Am I the only one who have no complaints? It was a very good sequel. The boss fights were so so so much better. Well I guess my only complaint would be the nerf of Peter. But why is everyone saying it was “rushed” or “safe”?! I just don’t get it

50 percent of video is just him saying non relatable dumb sh*

Tbf Kraven wasn’t interested in spidey, I think because of his inability to kill. It was the symbiote that Kraven was obsessed with hunting after killing scorpion, shocker, vulture, and possibly rhino.

Web of shadows did it better

Unfortunately spiderman 2 was mid ans wasnt as good as the masterpiece spiderman 2018

Turn video speed up to 1.5 Way too much pausing and waiting around. Good video.

This game's story, characters, and pacing are inferior to the first game. Hence why I don't bother buying it aside from Sweet Baby Inc being involved in this.

So a 5 year developed game is rushed

18:34 Another 2 years more dev time for this game would have increased the cost from $300 million to like $400 and thats not including all the massive marketing behind it. As for the 1st point about traversal, I am sorry it might be jus me but I DONT like the wings, Or how long it basically allows you to fly/keep boosting a bit, It got to the point where I would just swing to get to flying and thats it.

Respectfully Mr Goose, some of the stuff you mentioned ain’t that deep. The game isn’t perfect, but it’s a superhero game that doesn’t need to be realistic as all hell and not all characters need to change for a better story. Also it’s a video game after all, it’s meant to be fun not a critical movie masterpiece. This video just seems overly nitpicky for the sake of it. Keep it cute.

traversal is also not that "goated" its good even great at times, but requires little to no skill. plus no true physics based system for swinging means it suffers as theres no skill to achieve the "it makes you feel like spider man" as if you do anything the game doesnt want or like it freaks out and doesnt let you. Wanna run down a building cause youre spider man, too bad fuck you. Wanna crawl around the corner of a building while not holding r2? too bad fuck you. I can go on with other little things that the game says fuck you when you want to feel like spider man on your own terms but thatll cause the insomniac army to rise up and white knight all over the game like its the 2nd coming of christ. EDIT: and im not even mentioning the traversal glitches..... my god the amount of glitchy broken ass footage i have of the game from launch is incredible. I cant tell you how many times the game really made me feel like spider man when i was swinging through the city and turned a corner only to start spinning indefinitely into a traffic light. or turn into a white cube though ill admit that was kinda fun.

Yup. After they co-op with Sony they change everything I mean everything. For spiderman lover it hurt so bad.
