Hey Luke, as far as I know Better help is collecting the Health data and all sensitive stuff you do there.

@@GrimAbstract nah, Ragnarok was vastly worse than God of War 2018. The writing was super sloppy and the game felt very bloated. It needed to be split into two games, like they originally planned.
@nathanferrell8270 Ragnarok was certainly more flawed than 2018 but that doesn’t immediately make it worse. It was step up in nearly every gameplay aspect. And while 2018 had a more tight knit story, ragnarok’s had a new level of hype to it.
@@nathanferrell8270 I disagree. I found the writing to be better and enjoyed the story way more. I do agree, felt bloated, but certainly better than the first in every other aspect.
9:10 "The game never reaches this high again" Uh, the Venom section? Where you got to play as him? Are you telling me you did not get a dopamine rush throughout that whole level? Granted, I'm a big Venom fan, so that partially explains why that was my favorite level of the whole game.
Not even JUST that amazing section, but also the Lizard section where they tear through the entire city. The Kraven section when he first gets to NYC with his team with the jetskis and helicopters.. The final Mysterio challenge... like I personally cant even understand what he means lmao
Ikr I don’t get it. That whole section is insanely good. We get the Martin Li bossfight, followed by a huge Symbiote surge, then the kraven boss, then the Peter boss, then playing as venom, followed by the second kraven fight where you get to actually kill him. All back to back to back. How did that not top it for him?? Lol
Pirated games will run better most of the time, due to the fact that official releases have programs in place to prevent pirating, but they only slow down the whole game cause they use up resources. Not valid for every game but most of the time it's true especially regarding Denuvo
Better Help? Hell no. Don't. I stopped at 4:22 watching your video. Sure, I can skip it. But I won't support creators that choose money of morality. Maybe you didn't know about it, which is strange, but possible. So not immediately saying that you actually choosing money of morality/ethics or however it's called. 😅
@@Lyoko42o I'm personally getting around 50fps with full Path Tracing on a 4080 super without using FG, yeah I guess it is pretty demanding but removing Path Tracing doesn't make things that much better, so... Also a 4090 barely gets to 60fps on DLSS Balanced, I wouldn't call that a great port tbf And also, game crashes a lot
@@kowxley1793 the game doesn't have path tracing, it just plain old rt that got slightly overhauled over ps5. Also the game is extremely CPU heavy, Luke when showing performance was limited for almost the whole time and even 9800x3D struggles to achieve stable 100 fps without drops without rt and gets around 80fps avg with rt max in npc heavy locations.
Dang guys! I was looking for a comment on Luke's pc wallpaper, but I didn't realize better help was a trigger. Jacob should make a song about them next 😅!
As I´m reading the comments.. lol ..Who even watches these ads? Am I the only one who skips that stuff? Also am I the only one who is really not impressed by all the raytracing shenanigans??
Just a heads up for people for some reason when changing even the slightest setting in this game you have to restart it every time even if it doesn't tell you to.
“With almost no marketing at all” they normally don’t advertise games for pc, usually just consoles, while pcs also get to play console games i.e. Sony games
So that artifacting on the windows at 10:25 was all over my game on the ps5. I have no idea what caused it but every reflected surface (cars,windows,eyes, and almost every suit you unlock) would be flickering a green and red Christmas lightshow extravaganza for my entire game. It was so bad that i almost stopped playing entirely. I tried new monitors, hdmi cables, digital and physical copies of the game, uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing would fix it. This was the only game it happened too so i dont think its my console. I even reached out to sony and they basically said your on your own. It really soured my experience with this game.
Luke doesn't care that you dont like his sponsor LMFAO Y'all just REALLY like to make noise. No prob, this time tomorrow the tiktok generation will have completely forgotten all about it 😂😹
Starters, mans is playing at 4k with ray tracing on expecting 200 fps in 2025. Secondly my man Luke is doing a Better Help ad... c'mon man, therapy alone is already a scam let alone an app that helps you get scammed lol
You're probably correct that most of the people objecting to the ad did not take the time to properly investigate the matter themselves but are just repeating what they've seen other people say (whether it's actually true or not).
I was so excited to play this game back in 2023 . But in the end I was very disappointed with the game I got . And I grew up For PlayStation games during the PS2 era, what we have been getting now is been very lackluster.
the way i know about this is not from official marketing but because Marvel Rivals announcing SM2 skin for spiderman releasing the same day as the SM2 pc port, makes me think they dont even intend to do this port 😂

Wait until you find out the unofficial Brazilian port from over a year ago managed to run this game on HDD semi-decently and stuff like the throw would work just fine on extremely slow SSD's and SATA drives
So far the port is pretty fucked so i say wait until a few weeks for updates from Nixxes about the port... Man what is with spiderman 2 and getting released too early? Dang.... Better help sucks
whats the CPU? i may have missed it but just saying 4090 doesnt tell you a ton about your expected performance in the insomniac spider man games, theyre incredibly CPU intensive, especially with ray tracing. a 5800x3d vs 7800x3d vx 9800x3d will give you wildly different results in this one
Still pisses me off. Game studio pays for use of song, you pay for game and use of song but cant play that song on youtube while playing said game smh.
Can't believe they didn't manage to optimize this one on PC either. SM1 was just as bottlenecked as this one on PC, GPU usage should be pegged at 99% all the time even though it's not, frametime is also all over the place..
It's got some issues, but it's not as bad as some of the doomsayers are claiming. 12900k+3080ti here. It was running "ok" (60fps with some drops) at first. But when I made it to the Raft cutscene, it started crashing at the same spot every time (informing me my GPU was running at 50C). I was definitely having GPU utilization issues, because it was maxing out at 50C. I decided to try rebooting since I hadn't since updating my Nvidia drivers earlier. After that...well let's just say the game pooped itself. It wouldn't go above 30fps, had horrible input lag, and the graphics actually looked like something from the PS2. I shut everything down, reinstalled my Nvidia drivers, and (for me anyway), the issues are fixed. No more PS2 graphics, no more crashing, and it's running better than it ever did before. Constant 60fps everywhere. Currently running high preset with full RT. I may try to push up some settings further. I think the game is CPU bound in my case (the 9950X3D will be a huge upgrade when it comes out).
That opening swing scene pisses me off because the music doesnt turn off during that scene at all even if you take off the copyrighted music and that was on ps5

I shut everything down, reinstalled my Nvidia drivers, and (for me anyway), the issues are fixed. No more PS2 graphics, no more crashing, and it's running better than it ever did before. Constant 60fps everywhere. Currently running high preset with full RT. I may try to push up some settings further. I think the game is CPU bound in my case (the 9950X3D will be a huge upgrade when it comes out).
That opening swing scene pisses me off because the music doesnt turn off during that scene at all even if you take off the copyrighted music and that was on ps5
It’s because that song isn’t copyrighted if you’re streaming this game. It was created for the game.
@@nicholas_btw the song is very much copyrighted I made videos on spiderman 2 and still got the yellow sign
@@theoutsiderjess1869yellow dollar sign is different from the dollar sign with a cross through it… you weren’t affected by the music it was for something else
@@benzym Im not monetized i dont have any of the requirements for that but my video can still be blocked from other countries. Plus youtube says its copyrighted
Just FYI you are being CPU limited in this game. The over lay shows that your gpu is not being maxed out.
Left anisotropic filtering at 4x instead of changing it to 16x so texture rendering is much less
Texture filtering can always be set to x16. Trust me it will not affect your performance
its saddening that the newest spider-man game with Venom, the symbiote suit, and Kraven is the most forgettable game in the series. everything about the game at launch felt so off including the lack of updates and news. i understand they had a huge leak in their company and i honestly believe that the leak really slowed down the track record they had initially for SM2.
overall i’d give the game a solid 7. it’s good but just really forgettable
