@@Diamond-eq2hj And what is "soul" for you? That's an ambiguos affirmation to hide a lack of argument. Spider-Man has A LOT of the spirit of the comics and other adaptations, I cannot imagine a better homage. And defending Arkham City just with the date of release is a mediocre allegation, you're implying that the videogame isn't that good because of the year it comes, and reviewing it with less criteria than the regular one.

Meh I'll got with Arkham city honestly Idk why but Spider-Man 2 felt kind of disappointing it just doesn't feel like a true sequel to me it also felt kind of rushed
@@iczevInsomniac is a team of passionate and talented developers and it shows it was probably rushed because Sony wanted this game out to make more money Classic gaming company move if you ask me
The Conversations in Arkham city was ahead of its time I don’t know any game that actually has detailed and interesting dialogue not even gta v on that level
Any 80s & 90s Adventure game made by companies like Sierra. Modern Adventure games like those made by Quantic dreams. Japanese visual novels from the 80s, 90s and upto today. Numerous 90s JRPGs including adventure or action hybrids like 'survival horror'. Numerous 3D action platformers & Collectathon. Numerous story action games like BioShock series, uncharted and Alan Wake. The entire Fallout & Baldur's gate series. Planescape, Arcanum and Vampire the Masquerade bloodlines. Numerous modern, 2002-2023 cRPGs since. The entire Witcher franchise. Deus Ex series. Whatever, the list goes on.
Agreed I mean looking at the gliding it looks lifeless I mean it probably has to do with the wings being too short but it looked like an action figure that doesn’t have any movement just a figure
Gotta go with the og Arkham series games. For some reason those games felt harder to beat than the PlayStation Spider-Man games and yes I’ve played and replayed both game franchises lol
You thought Spider-Man was gonna be on top of anything Batman-related? 🤣 Silly silly... You can go back to playing your kiddy woke game and let your brain turn to mush, but please keep quiet so you don't disturb the grown-ups. To quote the 1995 film "Hackers" directed by Iain Softley: "Mess with the best, die like the rest." 😎
@@theguy3129 I actually made this when I was in a real pissy & defeatist mood, and I completely forgot all about it. I actually really like Spider-Man, and Batman is my 2nd favorite superhero, and I always play Spider-Man because those games are really easy for me because I don't care for real challenge - even though I own the whole Arkham Quadrology on both PC and console. I branched from Nintendo and bought a PlayStation because I wanted Spider-Man. Please forgive me for misleading you. I am a fraud.
@@davidlondon7631Arkham City won 4 awards at the 2011 game awards Knight didnt won 1 single award, but i get what you saying, knight has better visual but City takes the story and characters
Arkham City has a story that actually respects batman Spider-Man 2 makes peter parker weak and has him get ass beat by venom plus murdered by kraven when peter is more than capable to not lot that happen.
Yo creo que insomniac no sabe prestar atención a los detalles de la saga Arkham, en los Arkham los enemigos tienen una IA realista por ejemplo si te subís arriba de un poste de luz los enemigos te lanzan piedras, si los enemigos te ven usando gargolas le disparan a las gárgolas hasta destruirlas y si los enemigos no pueden llegar a donde estás estos te lanzan granadas. Son detalles que los hacen unico e increíble
This is like comparing LeBron to MJ. But for me, I will still go with Arkham City over Spiderman 2 anyday of the week. From boss battles to side missions, to character designs & story, I just love the mature & gothic style of the Arkham series. Arkham City's side mission, you get to hunt Deadshot & take him down which is pretty badass. In Spider-Man 2's side mission, you get to help a gay dude to connect with another gay dude which is super cringe & forced. Not saying that it makes SM2 a bad game, it's just that video games nowadays must be politically correct & woke compare to the time of video gaming Arkham series was created where every developer has a creative freedom with their games. PS: Every gamer is entitled to their own opinion unless Sony fanboys get butthurted & offended. 😅😅
Since I was a kid I’ve always been a big fan of Spiderman, unlike Batman, who didn't really catch my attention. Of these two games the first one I could play was Spiderman and I liked the story and gameplay, I really enjoyed playing this game, however later I could play the Batman games and let me tell you that they are pure gold, the stories are fascinating, as shown in this video, the graphics and gameplay are amazing too. As a big Spiderman fan I must say that BAK is a thousand times better than MSM2.
Spider-Man 2 is fantastic and insanely fun. But Arkham City just can’t be beat. The attention to detail, the world design and the story was just perfection. The Mr Freeze boss fight is still to this day one of the best boss fights ever in my opinion.
@@johansebastian6452that’s his opinion chillax homie Also if arkham series never existed you wouldn’t have ur Spider-Man and your yeee yee ass miles morales
Aren't you happy with what we got? I know I am DC need to do other Heroes besides batman and this year the Arkham Trilogy going to the switch so people like me can play it on the go I think I'm satisfied
Looking at the two, their overall personality is really reflected in their combat styles. Spider-man is all about having fun. His combat style is stylish and over the top and he'll actually go out of his way to perform more complex and difficult moves just because it's fun. Where as batman is all about simple efficiency. He's style is more about simple, fast, powerful attacks, meant to take out the enemy in as few hits as possible. Spider man's also more gentle than batman. His go-to finishing move usually involves tieing enemies up in webs, where as bat man will just hit you until you stay down.
One thing i will give to spiderman is now he can swim and out of all the arkham games Rock Steady never made Batman swim every time when I can get him in the water he automatically gets out like he's allergic
@@amuroray9115, overhyped overpriced contentless another Sony exclusive - that additionally lacks the Sony quality graphics - Spider-Mid 2 deserves the hate
@@wserthmar8908 the game has multiple side missions, suits and skills, and free roam and swinging mechanics. This game has also been nominated for game of the year. Stay mad, stay broke.
The best part is arkham series always surpassed its predecessor. Unlike Spider-Man, somehow, while there's a huge improvement on combat and traversal, it even got some downgraded mechanics like less gadgets and less stealth focus or improvement. On top of that, add more MJ section and make her one shot everybody? Somehow It feels like she's the superhero in that game. And don't let me start with miles last suit. Obviously it was for marketing Adidas or something.
crobcat really ruined a generation of gamers... a game isnt goty just for having minor details that you will completely ignore in your regualr play through 💀
Yes it does, it seems insignificant until you add it up and creates better immersion because of it And if you don’t notice them then it’s all for the better, it proves how quality matters
i think it would be cool to compare insomniac's spider-man 2 with older spider-man games like the og spider-man 2 or web of shadows, maybe tasm 2 as well
@@ArKnightham Xbox fanboy 💀 Shut up it's not mid, it's a masterpiece and better then it's predecessors. It got 91 on Metacritic while the first one got 87 and that's a huge step up.
Haha. I can see a lot of spider-man and ps fanboys getting salty in the comments. Batman is the greatest superhero of all time. And no game can top the arkham series. Thats settled. I can only see gen z kids defending spider-man here.
Frankly, to compare Arkham City with Spider-Man 2 is just disrespectful. Arkham City has soul and sense to spare, Spider-Man 2 (2023) will be brutally outdated 2 years from now. Arkham is a game for young adult men who are comic book fans, both insomniac games are made for "everyone" which is code...for sub-15 y.o kids with the attention span of a mosquito.
@@juscameron7439 I understand where you're coming from but in the end it will come down to how good you got at each game, the thing about Arkham City is that it is a perfect middle ground between Asylum and Knight, the combat is a lot deeper and the traversal is a lot faster, but at the same time, this means that it isn't as deep and fast as Knight, and it departs from the artistic, comic-booky, atmospheric tone of Asylum, so depending on your taste and skill level, you may see the glass half full or half empty. I love Arkham City, i have fully mastered all of these games, and at this point in my life, i came to the conclusion that my favorite is Arkham Asylum, even if my steam hours would claim otherwise hahahaha, but for the longest time, Arkham City was my favorite. Arkham City has aged like wine, Spider-Man 2 will age like milk.
I know everyone likes to compare the new Spider-Man games to the Arkham games, but it’s not quite a fair comparison. The Arkham games are fundamentally different since they focus on Batman, which means the gameplay is slower, less flashy, and more brutal. Spider-Man’s gameplay stays true to his character and is fast, flashy, and more light in tone. Both are great but can’t really be objectively better than the other due to the radically different focuses. That being said it’s still amazing how well Arkham City holds up all these years later
10:45 It's baffling how she can take an entire mag to the back with no armor and keep standing just to get hit with a kick from Spider-Man to the face and still survive.
Nah, they disrespected Ra's Al Ghul and Hugo Strange, the two main antagonists, in favour of Joker who even isn't he (was Clayface all the time, with lack of motivation)
@@johansebastian6452 I understand but I love the plot twist in the game it’s soo good also bane and two face are also some of my favs and they did nothing
@@wserthmar8908 Asylum's story was had less flaws for sure but it was also simpler, less ambitious and original. Which is perfectly fine to be fair but hard to say it's better IMO.

@@froger9973why are we even talking about dethroning anything from the Arkham games, its clear that rocksteady listens to the community, and the games upgraded every chance it got, lol all that matters...
As an artist i must say gtfo batman looks clunky as hell and outdated 😂 yall mo fo’s the types to play minecraft and not get bored because yall dont understand how much better marvels spiderman is
I'm also a fine arts graduate, also a professional artist. If you're an artist and truly prefer dull architecture, ambience, villian designs, voice acting of Spider-Man, best you'll ever be is a elementary school painting teacher. Arkham trilogy is Gothic Art Deco with German Expressionism, every building is meticulously designed. Voice acting is the best cast ever put on a game. Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Troy Baker, Nolan North, Tara Strong, Jonathan Banks etc... By far the best voice cast in a game. The dialogues, the tension, build up all better in Arkham games. Characters designs are also top notch. Arkham trilogy is proof that you don't need high fidelity, high def textures to make great graphics, It's all about art direction kiddo. You're probably an artistically bankrupt 16 year old Tom Holland/Miles fangirl who likes to waste time following around a deaf girl in Spiderman 2, or play Mary Jane sections. Or ride a bike like it's Life Is Strange. All Batman media is art. Movies, Games, Music, Acting, Set Desings, Architecture, Character, Costume, Vehicle and Fashion Desings... Each Batman media has it's own unique artistic vision. Spider-Man is always the same, dull, boring, every-day stuff. / minus these new Spider-Verse movies, which are truly great, animation wise.
@@ExarKun0We’re comparing AC and MSP2 here, I’ll give it to you on the Art, Voice Acting and maybe Story (up for debate) But Spider-man definitely tops in things like Combat, Traversal, and Boss Fights.
This game Definitely better than Arkham city. Better story, dialogue, bosses, traversal, graphics, performances, better revenue this game is made way more money than any Batman game combined
If I were to play Batman Arkham city it would be so boring because the story is boring, Batman's voice is horrible, The face models look atrocious the traversal is outdated, combat is pretty wack compared to Arkham Knight honestly the combat is too easy all you got to do is counter counter counter counter
@@LanceLee-dh5pc first of all and all the Arkham games Batman has the same damn voice same emotion every single time. With Yuri he really has a different voice when he has the symbiote and he acts differently so what are you saying
Batman is just built different, though they couldn't do everything that Spider-Man 2 '23 does with Arkham City considering the limitations of the PS3 and 360.
I totally cannot understand the people who say Arkham city or knight are better than spiderman i played both Arkham games and yes they are one of the best ever games for me made but spiderman took the foundation of arkham games and made better in every aspect you arkham fans either you like batman as a character more than spiderman which is understandable why choose arkahm games over spiderman or just you did not play spiderman 2018 and miles morales and spiderman 2 you are in denial you have to accept that fact arkham games are epic and verg good but spiderman took the superhero games to next level insomniac studio taking superhero games to another level and wait for wolverine and daredevil games and spiderman 3
@@khaliddawood3327All three Insomniac Spider-Man games are the same shit lol. Each subsequent game has made the previous one obsolete. They burned the formula in less time than Rocksteady did with Batman. People praise them because they follow the trend of cinematic bullshit that Sony makes, mediocre games
@@misaeltoral508 if ain’t broke do not fix what shall they do to reinvent the game it is already great game my my only problem with spiderman games is the length they should put more content in it thats it
@khaliddawood3327 Arkham experimented more with each game and was more ballsy Spider-Man went for the safer route instead Which is respectable but it feels more of the same
I have to say that Batman was honestly not as good of a game as people say. It’s kind of mid while spider man 2 has good story and combat. It’s a straight upgrade form the original game and Batman just doesn’t have what it takes to beat spider man 2
Nah bro. Not saying batman is a better game but IT IS as good as people say. The stealth in batman games is far more superious as it should be. Story in all arkham games is fun and felt like something was at stake
@@LegendaryBro59 ahh i thinks its not your type. spiderman 2 is filled with more open combat than arkham knight and the combat is much easier compared to arkham games
