Seriously. A lot of weird choices. The game was solid, but mostly felt like an expansion in a lot of ways. Hope the next one is better. Thanks for watching, cool to see you here again.
How many Spiderman 2's are there? I only played the one on PS1 titled Enter Electro, I got my fill of Spiderman from that alone, didn't even read the comics. Are they just rehashing the same thing over and over or something?
Just off the top of my head, I think I can count 4 different “Spider-Man 2” titles, but two of them are movie tie-ins. Every couple of years they kinda restart the continuity and tell a different story, and the movies are reimagining stuff that came before. Spider-man is more of a loose mythology than anything at this point. But in terms of story this time around, this is the third title in this particular iteration. I don’t know, superheroes are inherently hauntological. I just got into this particular run because Insomniac is behind these games, and i grew up loving Spyro the Dragon haha.
Look I’ve been screaming this from the mountain top since gowr it’s becoming a pattern Sony is and has been having a sequel problem story wise think of all the hit first party games hfw, spiderman,gow,tlou in my opinion story wise none of these sequels have lived up to their predecessors in Spider-Man’s case it was just all a bit to rushed certain plot points could have used a lot more time to breath the game could have used a good 10 or so more hours
Agreed. Insomniac rushed from plot beat to plot beat without really laying the foundation. Kind of a bummer, but I still had some fun with it. Thank you for watching!
It is funny. If they really wanted Peter Parker to make him interesting by becoming Venom and MJ also becoming Scream (why!?) then they failed. I still am of the opinion that Spider-man as a superhero is more interesting when the secret identity is not Peter Parker. Superior Spider-man, Kaine, Spider-woman (Jessica Drew) prove that point.
The Scream thing was one of the strangest choices I’ve ever seen. I think Peter has too much baggage at this point to be interesting, but I could be wrong. Killing him off would have been a wild choice. Thank you for watching!
I’m so tired of the race swapping crap.. Stop taking our hero’s and changing their race and sex and create your own hero’s. Leave our iconic hero’s alone.. Should we make Black Panther White? Would anyone have an issue with that? Bet your ass they would.. Everyone knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man. I won’t be following the franchise anymore if they jump on this stupid bandwagon.
Everything about your comment says you’re not really a true fan of superheroes/ comics/ films… or even really aware of the melting pot you’re in, to be quite frank. Not only is the ethnic background of readers broadening, but so are the writers’. Did you forget that interdimensional Spider-Men were introduced in like, the ninteties, or are you so old that the dementia already kicked in? The chances of them making a white Black Panther is slim, pretty exclusive for a white dude to be a part of a tribe in Wakanda. Try again 😂
Out of all the reasons to dig Spider-Man like: Wall crawling Web swinging Cool villains, etc. I never tuned in to check out Spider-Man because he was white. And the Miles stuff is rad. Getting mad about a black Spider-Man man and saying leave our institution alone is like getting mad at white people in Rock and Roll. Art reflects the society that creates it. And with Stan Lee being down with Miles- it seems like a bizarre sense of ownership for you to place on a cartoon character. Miles is popular, he’s going to be around, and if that’s what gets you to stop following the series… do you, I guess.
@@smellyuglies I love the inteedimensional comics.. that's not the issue for me.. the issue is with them replacing Peter Parker. Regardless of race.. Not with them giving us a new Spiderman in a new universe. I liked Miles Morales.. But Peter Parker is Spiderman. So stop with that nonsense.
@@digitalhauntology I don't want the series of games to end.. Spiderman 1 sold 13 million copies, Miles Morales sold 6 million. Not even half. And it's always common to retire and iconic character after one and a half games. This is just more woke garbage shoving racism in your face regulardless of how much you think Stan Lee liked it. Need more examples.. Ok.. They Destroyed the Star Wars franchise.. The little mermaid.. Now Spiderman.. Ghostbusters.. Thor.. every single attempt had flopped.. The game mechanics are amazing.. Both stories of Peter and Myles were great.. And no one's saying not to make Miles Morales games.. The point is they went out of their way to get rid of Peter Parker.. Because he's so old and worn out, he needs to retire in the second game at the ripe old age of 27.. So Please stop with all your nonsense. They are only replacing the white male characters with either minorities or females.. And never the other way around.. Had it been the other way around at some point I probably wouldn't have even thought twice about it.. Because it's just a thing they're doing.. You won't see us having that funny moment.. Remember when they made the black panther white? No.. No you don't.. By the way.. My absolute favorite superhero of all time.. Okay, technically anti-hero.. Spawn. Look.. I'm not the one making changes or attacking anything or anyone based on race or gender, they are.. And you're defending racism and sexism. By claiming The people speaking out against it are racist and sexist. Allow me to show you the ridiculous switch that your portraying.. You'll call me racist for being upset that they changed the little mermaid into a black character. However the little mermaid is a Danish tale written by hans Christian Anderson that has now been culturally appropriated. See my point? Oh and Stan Lee's actually comment he posted with a picture of Miles Morales was.. and I quote "You know one of the greatest things about Spiderman’s outfit, his costume? He is completely covered. So any kid could imagine he’s Spiderman, because no color of his skin shows. He could be black under that, he could be red, he could be yellow, he could belong to any race. And that wasn’t done purposefully, it was done accidentally, but I think it was the best thing we did - making him so that he could be anybody under that costume." Not that it WAS just anyone in the suit.. It COULD BE anyone..
I'm shocked that the channel hasn't reached 50k subscribers. One of the best video essay channels on this site
I appreciate it my friend.
Trying my best out here- always trying to get better.
The problem is that this is like the 12th batman arkham game, and the stealth and atmosphere are still inferior
Yeah, it’s definitely built on that framework for sure.
Stealth in this game is pretty much always optional as well.
It's such a shame the scriptwriting on this one wasn't tighter
Seriously.
A lot of weird choices. The game was solid, but mostly felt like an expansion in a lot of ways.
Hope the next one is better.

Pretty good vid. The only thing I disagree with is Mysterio's design.
Hahaha fair enough!
I dig it, but it is definitely not gonna be for everyone.
Thank you for watching!

So hyped for all 19 inches of this video
That’s a lot 🫢
Bigger, Blacker, Better.
This game is mid just play Alan wake 2
Alan Wake 2 is definitely up next.

Quick question, which lives matter?
