@@mickeyveach3612Makes more since to have a better version of Maximum Carnage that leads into Red Goblin for the 3rd game. And if up to me the 2 dlc stories would be Miles and Silk focused as Peter Parker is taking break and I wouldn’t have him return until the 3rd game.
So what’s the lesson we’ve all learned here? This game should’ve gotten delayed for another year. Especially since we had to wait months for NG+ to be released, the third act of the story felt rushed, and a lot of extra content was cut from the final product. The fact that Sony most likely rushed this game out because they wanted a big release for 2023 and the hack that happened to Insomniac months later really hurt the company.
4:54 I’m sorry but I’m with Sony on this one. You’re making full mini games about biking, deaf graffiti, basketball and a full Coney Island simulator? For a spider-man game? Yeah, stop wasting everyone’s time and $$$. Clearly someone there had no idea how to lead this project
I honestly think its the Brian himself! He is infamous for saying that he will make sure MJ mission are in the game and he will cut something if its mean to have the MJ mission in it.
*THANK YOU* for calling out this bullshit. These people wasted our time with crap like the Coney Island, EMF, BVA, MJ missions and the stupid Hailey side quest. They cut content just to shove MJ down our damn throats. Then we have morons running around saying "Sony rushed them". Let's talk about the cinematics that you have to skip 4 times before getting to the gameplay.
The game should have been much longer. I was disappointed to find out that 2 was going to take the same amount of time to complete as one, but all the Insomniac shills were talking how "20 hours is more than enough", and what did we get? An incredibly rushed game with a lot of wasted potential, the game didn't even have weather change day one.
The 2nd game is actually shorter by a large margin than the first game. Especially with the advanced movement abilities and the combat being streamlined it makes the gameplay loot even more short which isn't a bad thing but also isn't a good thing. And the boss fights are trash compared to the first game. The opening is strong. yes. But that doesn't make up for how short the game is. The vulture and electro fight from the first game beats every boss fight in the second game. And the Final boss from the first game beats the final boss of the second game. Otto vs Peter hit home more and felt like it had more weight than miles and Peter tag teaming venom and hitting that couch co-op on him. Straight put Harry on blacked 😢😮😂 they straight up jumped my boy in the finale like it was fair. Plus its hard to justify how they struggle to fight venom in the finale when we watch them beat Sandman into a coma in the first 5 mins of this game. Literally miles could've catapulted across the city and slumped venom before he would have time to react like he did in the opening fight.
@@swifter1151Are the boss fights trash? Dude, if you're going to hate, stop saying stupid things when the second game has better boss fights than the first game and it's a fact
"Developed by a multicultural team of various faiths and beliefs and we hope this attention to diversity is reflected in the settings of our games and our characters." My ass!This is the "Ubisoft Problem" exemplified.
@@WaitingToBeAGhostNah, that fiasco was always way overblown. Modern game development is a huge process requiring hundreds of people and multiple moving parts, so it's not at all surprising that one such mistake ended up lost in the shuffle, especially considering that the flags are nearly identical.

Chad Spiderman PS4: great story, big dlc that sets up events in sequel, new game +, and tons of suits from the get go Virgin Marvel's Spiderman 2: we don't have new game plus ready yet and it's too hard to make DLC and we have terrible rushed story where we doubled down on the worst aspects of the original
@@AP90x The fact that they decided to double down on the Mj missions is bafling. I'm playing a Spiderman game to play as Spiderman and occasionally some missions as Peter.
Bryan intihar is a hack, him saying we weren’t going to make it boils my blood. Like why did you add the MJ stealth sections , why have a mini game with the def girl, why not have miles in a smaller role so you don’t have to create content for 2 Spiderman stories, why create a web bridge mechanic that you don’t you barely use in the game. This game should have been a lay up but this fool is to blame for mis managing the entire sequel.
he should be fired for cancelling those venom missions for a fucking stealth MJ missions which we all complained about in the previous game and he butchered intentionally like he is challenging gamers , that`s not challenging gamers that`s called pissiong off gamers ! he should be fired , their marketing team should be fired as well . those who did not manage the funds and ressources given by Soyny should be fired and Soyny should cut their partership with Sweet Baby Inc. or other wirse they will keep making more shit and lost more money
They should've just upped and said that no story dlc was coming instead of waiting a whole damn year to tell us! That's what annoys me the most. At least Game Science admitted that the DLC for Black Myth will take a while.
I feel like the MJ sections in the game are just there to use game mechanics from a scrapped third person shooter that Sony doesn't want Insomniac to make
Please stop falling for grifters. SBI didn't develop the game nor do they make any final decisions on any game. Everything you don't like about a game is on the publisher and devs. Not a 3ed party consultant agency. Which btw has existed for decades in all forms of media.@@BrandontheAwesome
Insomniac underutilized and fumbled Felicia Hardy / Black Cat so hard in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 lol. Look, I'm not saying that Black Cat needed to be the biggest part of Marvel's Spider-Man 2's story, but the developers gave her the best chase sequence in like any Spider-Man videogame that had Doctor Strange portals and that showed off some of the coolest gameplay mechanics in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 just for her to announce that she has some random girlfriend in Paris and then she just leaves... What?! They had potential with Black Cat only to chalk her up to a Miles Morales mission and never have her in any interaction with a SYMBIOTE SUIT SPIDER-MAN. Missed opportunity.
5:01 Never forget Brian said he didn't give a shit about the complaints about the mary jane missions and made her 10x stronger. If he don't give a shit why should we. Nominee of the Year game
Venom should've been Kraven after Act 2 hunting down criminals to be a better spider-man. That way we didn't lose him so soon and gave the player more motivation and made sense having two spidermen vs powerful two villains. An end world scenario was boring and was mostly off screen. Harry's reasoning was weak. Having Venom bully us in the open world pretending to be civilians and attacking us would have been amazing like Mr shakedown from yakuza. As for Venom he barely spoke which still bothers me why they hyped up Tony Todd.
I'm not saying Kraven becoming Venom would have been a good idea, but I definitely would have preferred that over Harry Osborn. Poor Eddie Brock didn't even get mentioned in this game.
@@mikeaction321Not to mention, the only time Eddie was mentioned was in an easter egg in MSM1. That was it. No mention of Eddie in story, no teases, nothing.
Yh they listed to those STUPID game journos who thought Spidey working with cops in the first game was "problematic"😐. Its also why we never got the Spider Cop suit
@@no.1spidey-fan182 Personal critiques about how the cops were handled (and their implications) shouldn't have equated to removing them from the world. That's a fumble entirely on Insomniac's decision-making, not some other people's particular opinions. Personally, I do think it was rather disappointing how underdeveloped/stated the cops were. Like, MSM blatantly failed at portraying this supposedly negative relationship Spidey had with the cops... They were just very underdeveloped, but considering everything Insomniac was setting out for, it doesn't bother me much. Still, criticism is criticism, but Insomniac taking that criticism in the dumbest way is their own fault.
It really sucks seeing a game with so much potential not reach it. So much Stuff they should have done. Now companies know they can make money off of rushed games even more now
It's not the end of the world I feel like people are making this deeper than it has to be I mean the game wasn't even that bad if anything it was really the story that was kinda disappointing mainly the venom segment of it
Plus insomniac are working on other games now to at the moment so let's let them cook on wolverine next and give them instead of rushing them for stuff they might not be finished working on.. and no hate to ur comment lol
@@SoyboyPeterI’ll name a few for you: Peter cleaning the kitchen, biking to the high school, the entire high school stealth bs with harry, every single mj mission, I’m sure there’s more but you get the point. Yeah obviously it’s not the entire game but they make these sections so incredibly boring and long that it completely made me quit on my first playthrough. A game should not feel like work, it’s supposed to be fun. That shit was not fun
To be honest, I am disappointed with Insomniac today, which is the first anniversary of the game, they did not even deign to put new suits, in addition to the lack of communication with their fans, they knew that we wanted the DLC and they did not communicate anything, disappointment.
“They knew their fans wanted dlc” don’t pretend like the fans were in the right. They absolutely shouldn’t have given the spoiled brats what they wanted, something terrible happened to insomniac (data breach) and yet the fans don’t care, they just want more content. No the fans don’t deserve dlc.
I hate Marvel's Spider-man 2 story not because of "the woke" but bc this game is such a waste of potential. Why insomniac thought it was a good idea to do the symbiote arc (black suit, venom, the other symbiotes) in like 10 hours, kill most of the sinister six off screen and Peter doesn't care about that, give Spider-Man the anti venom suit that completely destroys the whole message of the black suit and teasing another spider person when they could barely focus on two spiders.
FINALLY somekne who realises that Anti Venom COMPLETELY RUINS the LESSON that is SUPPOSED tk be learned from the symbiote arc. Peter does NOT need extra powers, he was ALREADY HIM from.the beginning and just needed better time management and gadgets But noooo they do the cheap fanservice route. And even had the audacity to NERF the antivenom suit
@@ryker4547 when I said the game was bad? I just said it disappointed me bc I really loved the gameplay and the story of the first game and Spider-Man is one of my fav superheroes. I'm not losing sleep over it, just giving my opinion bc I wanted this game to be better.
@@ryker4547brother chill, never said sm2 gameplay was bad but PERSONALLY (just for me) didn't like it more than sm1 and I didn't even mention it was a bad thing. It's ok if u liked the game, go ahead and enjoy it :)
They definitely should’ve delayed the game to this year. A lot of content was cut. Sony obviously wanted to rush it. The third act was undercooked. And we had to wait months for updates like NG+ and even new suits. And now, we have no DLC. The first game, we knew DLC was coming before the game even came out, and we didn’t have to wait 6 months for NG+. And I don’t blame Insomniac. I blame Sony (for rushing the game for a 2023 release) and the hackers. Also, if there was going to be no DLC, at least announce it sooner instead of a year after the game came out. We almost got a Beetle DLC, a Carnage DLC, and a Spider-Verse DLC. They even canceled the GTA Online style multiplayer Spider-Man game. I hope they don’t cancel the Venom spin-off game we were supposed to get…
It was honestly baffling to me when Brian Intahar was talking about the Sony execs telling em they didn't have enough time but that they sympathize with their dilemma. Like brother, YOU EXECS ARE THE PROBLEM. You are the ones imposing this deadline on these devs, you can easily just taken an L for one holiday season and put out a generational sequel the following year! Instead we have to settle for a rushed project because dumb execs can't be bothered to see the vision for what the creatives are cooking up for the millionth time. Another year would've done wonders for that third act cuz ngl I actually didn't mind the game too much until Kraven died. Sure the black suit arc could've lasted a little longer but I was looking forward to Venom truly having the limelight as the main villain only for act 3 to be like 2 hours out of the 24 hour game. Such a shame man. I hope with the last Sony CEO gone Insomniac will be able to turn things around with that Venom game they're cooking up and hopefully SM3 isn't a further drop in quality
What they needed was better resource allocations and time management. They had the time for stupid BVA and Hailey side missions and MJ missions that were shoved in. They wasted time on sections like the stupid Coney Island mission and bike rides instead of improving and adding mechanics or missions that do matter but they had to get those MJ missions in regardless. Sony gave them 315 million and 5 years to build upon the foundation the first 2 games set up and they wasted both.
Still funny to think that this game was nominated for 7 categoires at the game awards and didn't win a single one. Serves Insomniac/Sony right for putting an above average game out.
@@demosneokleous4877 agreed… i was willing to pay because that’s 1 game I actually liked… I beat the game twice now I have reason to go back at all bkuz there may not be a DLC
In case anyone didn’t know and what wasn’t already discussed in the video: SILK LEAKED GAMEPLAY AND POSSIBLE MAP EXPANSION: There’s leaked gameplay of silk but she has most of Miles’s animations (prob because he’s smaller than Peter) while she’s in a new playable area that’s West of sm2’s current map with it being closer to New Jersey. (If the player glitched themself out of bounds using one of the trains, they would be able to actually explore this area of the map as it does appear on the map despite it not being fully rendered and not meant to be accessible by the player, but the player may have been to at one point or maybe in the future. However, I believe this was patched now, but I’m sure someone will find more when they use boundary break mods when the PC Poet arrives CUT BLACK SUIT AND VENOM CONTENT: There’s leaked cut content gamplay of sm2 that showed destructible environments and with some more missions with Peter having the symbiote. Also with this being said Venom was also to make more appearance throughout the game (probably explaining why there were way more unused Tony Todd voice lines than what was actually present in game) with him actually seemingly ambushing the player in the open world in random encounters or at the very least they’re being another mission with Venom in the city like how most of the marketing showed. (I’m not making this stuff up either as wishful thinking of what could’ve been-this is real, there’s videos online you can find of this cut Venom content) LEFTOVER DEV BUILD CONFIRMING DLC CONTENT: And finally on the same day they dropped NG+, they also accidentally left in a dev build in the game that could be accessed in the main menu so you could view the beetle dlc missions (about 8 missions I believe) but you couldn’t actually play them, these beetles missions were labeled as “Act 4” in the mission list so these missions were definitely planned at some point because the base game only has 3 acts. All this did was 100% confirm that the beetle DLC was real and planned so even if the carnage and spiderverse DLC weren’t real, we know the beetle DLC was. Not only that there was also game playable saves leftover from the developers of unfinished versions of the game. There was also another dev build that was accessible while in gameplay. (This was shortly patched out of the game with an update less than 24 hours later but the footage is still out there and the damage has already been done) To be honest when the PC port arrives I won’t be surprised if we find out some about cut content or plans, but I honestly don’t know what else we’d find at this point-we almost know everything planned up until SM2’s release and even Wolverine because of the playable build that released.
@@mattd5240 sm2 was rough but the hack and leak made things 10x worse they went defcon 2 with the whole thing like passports and social securities were leaked it was bad man
@@mattd5240 from what I remember reading these guys are infamous dudes and it’s not the first time they did something like this. But yeah 100% agree because it wasn’t just the games and dlc that got leaked but people’s actual personal private info was revealed.
You can see the impact sony has had on insomniac, as soon as they got acquired by them the company feels drastically different not only in how the quality droppped between the first and second spider-man but they're working on far too many projects at once IMO
Yeah I can see that. Insom while they're having a bit of a dip in terms of quality, are the only ones carrying PlayStation on their backs this entire generation.
@@ryker4547 I should clarify, qualiy drop in terms of clearly rushed content at thands of sony/insomniac. Not entirely insomniac's fault but a consequence of the Sony takeover
I don't care what anybody says slow emotional moments like that were superhero isn't just punching the bad guy but actually helping a meaningful way whether it speaks stuff like putting out a fire,saving a cat,etc. is what being a superhero is really about both in fiction and real life.
Maybe that's true. But would you buy a comic book or watch a TV episode exclusively dedicated to Batman helping an old woman buy groceries or Iron Man helping children with algebra homework?
I thought that the story of Spider-Man 2 felt a bit empty at some points, but now hearing about all this cut content and Insomniac only using 10% of Tony Todd's line, all of this makes sense now. If only they knew there was going to have been so much on the cutting room floor, I wonder if they would've switched the idea of having Venom be the main antagonist to Kraven being the main antagonist. Because at times during the story mode, Kraven felt like a bigger threat than Venom did, had Venom have been given more dialogue then this probably wouldn't have been a problem.
I'm sick of Sony bullshit man... They constantly be doing Spider-Man dirty. No Matter What so they should either shut up and let these people cook or give back the license to the games and the movies back to Marvel so even if it may not be necessarily better and more sanitized. But at the very least it will be more consistent and there will be a lot more Spider-Man content coming out.
Insomniac gets away with stuff like this because they know they’ll make money regardless because it’s Spider-Man. Those arkham games were fun to play, had plenty of content in the base game, and had great dlc. Insomniac Spider-Man games are fun, but they’re always missing things that should’ve been there from the start, and they’re too short (especially when you have 2 spidermen and venom, i think Peter had the suit for like 2-3 days and he didn’t even do anything that bad he was just a little rude to his friends and aggressive with enemies, but not doing anything necessarily wrong). How the hell do you wait an entire year to reveal you won’t be making any dlc for this short ass game?
They got friggin Hacked! what don't people get about that. They lost pretty much everything and have built from the ground up of whatever remained after the hack.
This could have easly been a be careful what you wish for kind of thing . So like they release the dlc but its mid and insultingly short , so now everybody would be saying " i rather we just didn't get a dlc at all."
I think it's stupid they refuse to give us any dlc for Spider-Man 2 it solid very well and it was a good game and the fans wanted dlc but nope just refused to give us anything
I can’t really be disappointed that there’s no dlc as I didn’t even like the 1st games dlc. Honestly I’d rather Carnage be saved for a Venom game or maybe the Spider-man 3 for a Red Goblin third act reveal, than for him to get the Hammerhead treatment
The reason for the lack of post-launch DLC is really due to the game itself essentially being DLC of the first game sold as a full priced game with significantly less missions than the first game with less fulfilling side missions. It's doesn't really make any real graphical, gameplay, or narrative leaps from the first game either.
Insomniac didn’t give a direct answer for months and just now decided to, they even left in a sort of beetle teaser in the debug menu after the march update. The hack was bad but I truly believe if insomniac was ever going to do dlc it would have been said before even that… but who knows they might pull a gow ragnarok.
Alot of the dialogue felt very fake. Like HR was in the room with them and they couldn't talk like normal everyday people. Most of the Coney island dialogue was cringe and felt like hallmark christmas movie lines.
I hope Cletus Cassidy/Carnage doesn't get retconned so that they along with the dangerous flame cult appears in Spider-Man 3. Hopefully not as rushed villains.
I hated Spiderman 2 with a burning passion. I went back recently Spiderman 1 bought the remaster and like you said there’s so much more to it. Yes the swinging and new stealth moves were better in part 2 but that’s it, everything else is bad. 1st game had better combat variety, enemies were better and more believable, story was Oscar worthy when compared to part 2. I never want to return to part 2, they ruined the venom arc in this universe already so as far as I’m concerned I won’t buy part 3, this story is ruined.
Yep and God of war ragnarok, funny how both GOW 2018 and MSM1 are both superior in every way than their sequels, I’d rather replay both of the first games than their sequels by a land slide
@@EternalNightingaleGod Of War: Ragnarok is miles superior to God Of War 2018 in almost every single way. You clearly never played it or even saw footage of it.
Now that i think about it, the story in the first game makes the second one look like a complete dull boring fanfiction. Only good thing about the sequel is the much faster improved web swinging and combat system, the rest i don't care.
"boring" I think you don't know what is boring, no, those two things are not the only good thing, they have many more things and also the story is not a fan fiction and it doesn't feel that way
@@chandlerbursethat being said, I think it's ok to dislike something as long as you have valid points unlike most comments here. I also think the game has flaws but it's nowhere near as bad as people here claim it to be
No one should be surprised, that hack killed any chance of DLC for this game so the anger I keep reading about seems like entitlement at it's highest degree, basic logic and common sense would have been able to reveal that. I would much rather they cancel it and reroll it into Spider-Man 3 and take the time to make it amazing and a great send off rather then power rush through it which is what would happen if DLC is released for Spider-Man 2 now. Like that hack very easily could have killed Insomiac we should just be glad they are still here
@@demosneokleous4877 baldur's gate 3 is an actual finished game, but also re4make and alan wake 2. Its like comparing 3 fully designed cars, to a piece of duct taped together cardboard in the rain.
@@demosneokleous4877 clearly isnt as the dlc was cancelled, the fact they took months to release basic features like new game plus and weather control. How are my comparisons "bad", those are the actual goty nominees and winner- legit everyone agreed sm2 was mid.
Studios gotta learn that its 100% okay to delay a game if it means it will actually release as a finished product. The world is tired of half-baked wastes of potential
I said this game was under baked a year ago because they obviously had priorities elsewhere and people didnt want to hear it. They couldnt even properly manage a Mile and Peter story now they want to add a third while also telling her origin story and the green goblin, carnage, dr octopus and chameleon story?
9:00 i agree. They refuse to make the game longer and won’t even make dlc. The game feels way too short with 2 characters so how the hell are they going to split a story between 3 characters.
I’m assuming that leak killed the DLC since Insomniac had allocate their time dealing with that and working on Wolverine. Not that it really matters because it’s obvious Sony made them rush it out the door so they could add something to the 2024 release roster lmao. It’s a miracle it came out as decent as it did, but hopefully they get more time to cook with the 3rd one
What’s even more disappointing is that we had to wait 5 years for even less content 😪🤧 Great game still but definitely far from perfect when it comes to the pacing.
Your, critique of Sindy Moon being included is my exact critique of Miles being included. I don’t care if these spin off characters get their own games but when I buy a Spider-Man game, I want to play as the main character for the entirety of the game . I’m so tired of Spider-Man games being divided by Spider-Man and other playable characters . There’s too many of them that do this . We got a solid Batman trilogy with a prequel bonus game I want a series of games like that for Spider-Man Have spin off games for the other characters, have optional playable characters for side missions but I want to be able to play as Spider-Man for the entire game without having to switch to venom, MJ, miles, Sindy 2099 and so on.
Don’t feel like I’m asking a lot: just the same amount of content we got in the previous two games. They really took steps back with this one. Even the collectibles took a cut.
The game wasn't horrible but we had a lack of serious villain interaction here. With the exception of Kraven there was no real threat level from anything in the game. For some reason Insomniac decided to "reform" several of it's best villains and had Kraven kill off others without us even really doing anything with them. Add the fact that they nerfed the gadgets that Peter had and I wasn't really impressed. I get that they wanted it not to feel like a Batman game apparently, but they seemed to forget that Peter is a genius who can and does make gadgets like his web shooters! The way they turned his gadgets into these generic toys wasn't good in any way, and the recharge on them was just horrible.
What to expect from a game that had cut content in favor of focusing more on side characters like MJ. ( Damn, she had more screen than Venom, and her way of approaching Peter is exaggerated. ) Peter and Miles chemistry is good, they had to stick with that and focus on bosses, plot, and the ending.
I feel like Spider-Man 2 has so much Potential and if it got delayed by another Year it would have been Amazing, but in the End while the Game is Good, it still feels like a Disappointment and Mispotential.
@@demosneokleous4877 i was one break during those days, so was my work. I started working again a week later, as I said I it took me 2 days lol I have a life man.
Honestly I am fine with Insomniac creating shorter games more frequently. Compared to every other Sony studio where we're getting one project per generation, having a team that can release all of Miles Morales, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Spiderman 2, and Wolverine is a great change of pace.
The game being short isn't the problem it's wasting that with trivial garbage like the Coney Island section, BVA, EMF and Hailey's side quest with MJ sequences wasting time instead of giving us the better missions that were likely canceled to fit in the crap I mentioned earlier.
I loved Spiderman 2 but i agree i feel like the final act was really rushed and there shouldve been some more content with Venom gooing all over the city 😂
The fact that this game also was priced at $70 and we had to wait awhile for New Game Plus is also crazy. New Game Plus should've been in the base game at launch
I get how you feel. I’m the oldest child in my family my parents have always been proud of my academic accomplishments growing up. Now that I’m in college I recently completed my second year with a 3.3 gpa (my mom wanted me to make 3 at least for the sake of my scholarships) and I’ll never forget for the rest of my life being so excited to tell her I did it. Just for her to tell me it wasn’t good enough and that I need to dedicate myself more. It crushed me it seems like I can only do wrong in her eyes at times. I’ve developed a mentality that I have no worth if not for my grades because of this and how I was raised. If it’s shown me anything it’s that i should do what I wanna do and do it for myself because no matter how I try some people will only see my accomplishments as failures.

The writing is incredibly disappointing, for having so many heavy hitters in a game the story ironically feels very inconsequential and stake-less. Way too many cooks in the kitchen. This game didn't need Venom or that female symbiote I forgot the name of. This should've been Goblin and Kraven on the side and the third one should've been Eddie Brock Venom (OG GOAT) and Carnage vs Peter and Miles. Extra nitpick is how incompetent they made Peter in this game and I don't care about Insomniac Miles at all. He's boring and has an annoying voice. The success of Spiderverse doesn't mean they have to shoehorn him into everything. Peter's symbiote arc is so special because he endures it all alone and by himself, having Miles with him undermines his arc
@@quentinjones6877because insomniac has given people enough reason to be concerned. Idk why y’all defending this game gotta be so naive. Y’all are so desperate to put your faith in game studios who just want your money.
Honestly they just fucked themselves out of me buying a 3rd game. I was ok with all the forced hand holding bullshit at times and the lack of some features, but gutting a whole section of your game that needs to be fleshed out because you got leaked? Thats the most crybaby shit ever
Atleast cyberpunk took a full 180° and turned the game from a dissapointment into something worth the price of purchase. SM2 still feels like it wasn't worth the price I payed.

I tried making a wish about Marvel Spiderman 2 getting a DLC and an expansion but it didn't work on my laptop if anyone wants to give this a try, here's the info above👆👆👆
Insomniac - Doesn't intentionally announce or promise officially any DLCs, so not to build false expectations or hype and people wouldn't get mad. That side of internet: Still gets mad for Insomniac not delivering something that they never promised in the first place. But reactionaries gotta be reactionaries.
0:30 it sucked even more that in those 5 months waiting, we couldn't even replay certain missions or even bases. It didn't even have any variety in the bases. No other base faction other than Kraven. THE ONLY THING we could do was the mysterio missions and only Miles could do it, not Peter. TO THIS DAY, we still ain't got a friendly neighborhood spiderman app that lets us choose whatever crimes to fight at any time. Miles Morales had this crap at launch.
IDK how people blame the wasted potential of this game mostly on it being rushed when it has so many stupid additional gameplay sections that have nothing to do with Spider-Man and give the developers the need to add skip buttons to a bunch of them like bees, graffiti, gays, bots, MJ, carnival games, etc. These people took several breaks from making a SM game while on the job and people are out here saying they were rushed.
I entirely blame Intihar and Sweet Baby for why this game is bad, and I've done my research so I'm not blowing smoke. He said on a podcast that they intentionally cut content just to make the MJ missions and to include her more to the story in the end, and if you've seen the leaks you'd know they were make you switch back between Peter and Miles fighting Venom and hordes of symbiotes in the streets, WITH DESTRUCTABLE ENVIRONMENTS!!!!! And the hand where Sweet Baby was all over this, like you said that Hallie mission and the Brooklyn Visions missions were purely added for forced diversity and waste our time, characters having immense plot armor or nerfed into the ground, and overall the most lackluster side content, sorry, most unrewarding side content I've ever seen. Most of the good suits were ones from the movies, and the choices they made on which outfits to add was nonsensical. Not to mention the heaps of bugs, glitches, gamebreaking moments of which there were a decent amount, and felt more like a waste of time toward the end. I used to be of the mindset 2 out of the 3 acts were really good, but the whole game has heaps of problems. They tried to balance Peter and Miles even though this should've primarily been Peter's story, resulting in a clusterf*** of yet again, nonsense. As a Spidey fan, and I mean die hard Spidey fan, this caliber of SM games was something of a dream of mine, the first game blew me away, this game hardly felt worth the 70 bucks and hundreds of hours playing. Only great thing about this game is the swinging, everything else is terrible to an extent. Not gonna be buying the 3rd game with how shafted we all got.
spiderman 3 better be like 60+ hours worth of content given how absolutely disappointing and how much wasted potential SM2 was. there was easily another 10-15 hours left on the table worth of content, gameplay and story in SM2. such a shame
Insomniac: Creates potential DLC Stories with Wraith, Carnage, and Maybe Spiderverse and more
Also Insomniac: No DLC will be made
Well according to the leaks, those were always going to be Spider Man 3 content.
Honestly, we dodged a bullet.
@@mickeyveach3612they couldn’t even juggle venom and kraven, what makes you think they could tie up all those lose ends in 1 game?
@Taytahead by making them all side missions and just focus on Green Goblin for the main story. As the leaks confirm.
@@mickeyveach3612Makes more since to have a better version of Maximum Carnage that leads into Red Goblin for the 3rd game.
And if up to me the 2 dlc stories would be Miles and Silk focused as Peter Parker is taking break and I wouldn’t have him return until the 3rd game.
So what’s the lesson we’ve all learned here? This game should’ve gotten delayed for another year. Especially since we had to wait months for NG+ to be released, the third act of the story felt rushed, and a lot of extra content was cut from the final product. The fact that Sony most likely rushed this game out because they wanted a big release for 2023 and the hack that happened to Insomniac months later really hurt the company.
Not to mention Sweet Baby Inc. was involved.
@@BrandontheAwesome yeah, anytime I see a game with them attached I automatically mark it as do not buy
You are effectively summed up every problem I have had with the game, which is a shame
@@natoriousthehopeful2786 EXACTLY. I don't get why anyone is bummed. If anything, we should be celebrating!
Sony pulled a Spider-man 3 and TASM 2 all over again
4:54 I’m sorry but I’m with Sony on this one. You’re making full mini games about biking, deaf graffiti, basketball and a full Coney Island simulator? For a spider-man game? Yeah, stop wasting everyone’s time and $$$. Clearly someone there had no idea how to lead this project
BIG FACTS!
I honestly think its the Brian himself! He is infamous for saying that he will make sure MJ mission are in the game and he will cut something if its mean to have the MJ mission in it.
Facts…
*THANK YOU* for calling out this bullshit.
These people wasted our time with crap like the Coney Island, EMF, BVA, MJ missions and the stupid Hailey side quest. They cut content just to shove MJ down our damn throats.
Then we have morons running around saying "Sony rushed them".
Let's talk about the cinematics that you have to skip 4 times before getting to the gameplay.
The only mission i enjoyed was the Coney island one, it's a spiderman Game but it was the fact that Peter finally gets to have fun with his friends
The game should have been much longer. I was disappointed to find out that 2 was going to take the same amount of time to complete as one, but all the Insomniac shills were talking how "20 hours is more than enough", and what did we get? An incredibly rushed game with a lot of wasted potential, the game didn't even have weather change day one.
The 2nd game is actually shorter by a large margin than the first game. Especially with the advanced movement abilities and the combat being streamlined it makes the gameplay loot even more short which isn't a bad thing but also isn't a good thing. And the boss fights are trash compared to the first game. The opening is strong. yes. But that doesn't make up for how short the game is. The vulture and electro fight from the first game beats every boss fight in the second game. And the Final boss from the first game beats the final boss of the second game. Otto vs Peter hit home more and felt like it had more weight than miles and Peter tag teaming venom and hitting that couch co-op on him. Straight put Harry on blacked 😢😮😂 they straight up jumped my boy in the finale like it was fair. Plus its hard to justify how they struggle to fight venom in the finale when we watch them beat Sandman into a coma in the first 5 mins of this game. Literally miles could've catapulted across the city and slumped venom before he would have time to react like he did in the opening fight.
Idc about how long the story is, as long as I enjoy it and have fun. I get why others were disappointed though
They didn’t understand why the length was a problem. Trying to divide that between two main characters was always going to fail.
@@swifter1151Dude, you're comparing Sandman's power level to Venom, that's stupid.
@@swifter1151Are the boss fights trash? Dude, if you're going to hate, stop saying stupid things when the second game has better boss fights than the first game and it's a fact

I still find it funny that Insomniac thought the Cuban Flag and Puerto Rican Flag were the same and had to fix it.
"Developed by a multicultural team of various faiths and beliefs and we hope this attention to diversity is reflected in the settings of our games and our characters." My ass!This is the "Ubisoft Problem" exemplified.
@@WaitingToBeAGhostNah, that fiasco was always way overblown. Modern game development is a huge process requiring hundreds of people and multiple moving parts, so it's not at all surprising that one such mistake ended up lost in the shuffle, especially considering that the flags are nearly identical.

You can thank SBI for that
@@The.UsurperOh shut the fuck up. They had shitty MJ in the last game but we STILL got dlc for a year.
If they made the MJ sections just cutscenes and made Venom playable in free roam after finishing the story, it would had been great
I feel like the MJ sections in the game are just there to use game mechanics from a scrapped third person shooter that Sony doesn't want Insomniac to make
That, the coney island simulator, graffiti simulator, bike levels and probably way more useless garbage.
They wasted time in a deaf graffiti mision and a gay dude in the school instead of giving us more venom… its insomianc fault, not sony

Friend, shut up, you're saying stupid things.
But is good game
This game should’ve had Black Cat missions instead of MJs
That would've been cool
My thoughts exactly. This should also had been a thing in the first game
And she would’ve been fun to play as well
You mean kraven missions
Insomniac underutilized and fumbled Felicia Hardy / Black Cat so hard in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 lol. Look, I'm not saying that Black Cat needed to be the biggest part of Marvel's Spider-Man 2's story, but the developers gave her the best chase sequence in like any Spider-Man videogame that had Doctor Strange portals and that showed off some of the coolest gameplay mechanics in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 just for her to announce that she has some random girlfriend in Paris and then she just leaves... What?! They had potential with Black Cat only to chalk her up to a Miles Morales mission and never have her in any interaction with a SYMBIOTE SUIT SPIDER-MAN. Missed opportunity.
5:01 Never forget Brian said he didn't give a shit about the complaints about the mary jane missions and made her 10x stronger. If he don't give a shit why should we. Nominee of the Year game
Venom should've been Kraven after Act 2 hunting down criminals to be a better spider-man. That way we didn't lose him so soon and gave the player more motivation and made sense having two spidermen vs powerful two villains. An end world scenario was boring and was mostly off screen. Harry's reasoning was weak. Having Venom bully us in the open world pretending to be civilians and attacking us would have been amazing like Mr shakedown from yakuza. As for Venom he barely spoke which still bothers me why they hyped up Tony Todd.
I'm not saying Kraven becoming Venom would have been a good idea, but I definitely would have preferred that over Harry Osborn. Poor Eddie Brock didn't even get mentioned in this game.
Bro Venom should have been playable at least
@@mikeaction321Not to mention, the only time Eddie was mentioned was in an easter egg in MSM1. That was it.
No mention of Eddie in story, no teases, nothing.
@@maxdam4059he was playable but only in 1 Mission
Or play as kraven
They also took out the cops, in the first game I would wear raimiverse suit and and swing in the dusk just like in the movies while chasing cars.
Yh they listed to those STUPID game journos who thought Spidey working with cops in the first game was "problematic"😐. Its also why we never got the Spider Cop suit
Bro the game was WOKE like really WOKE , they hated cops , they did not want Spidey to work with cops anymore heck he even scolds you for having a gun
@@no.1spidey-fan182 Personal critiques about how the cops were handled (and their implications) shouldn't have equated to removing them from the world. That's a fumble entirely on Insomniac's decision-making, not some other people's particular opinions.
Personally, I do think it was rather disappointing how underdeveloped/stated the cops were. Like, MSM blatantly failed at portraying this supposedly negative relationship Spidey had with the cops... They were just very underdeveloped, but considering everything Insomniac was setting out for, it doesn't bother me much. Still, criticism is criticism, but Insomniac taking that criticism in the dumbest way is their own fault.
@@maxdam4059 fr, trust me people will call you a bigot lol

Plus insomniac are working on other games now to at the moment so let's let them cook on wolverine next and give them instead of rushing them for stuff they might not be finished working on.. and no hate to ur comment lol
This game has too many slow sections within the story such as the EMF missions that you can’t skip
Genuinely feels like a chore to get through
It has too many apparently and yet you only name one of them, it’s not even 6 percent of the game and yet there’s too many
@@SoyboyPeterI’ll name a few for you: Peter cleaning the kitchen, biking to the high school, the entire high school stealth bs with harry, every single mj mission, I’m sure there’s more but you get the point. Yeah obviously it’s not the entire game but they make these sections so incredibly boring and long that it completely made me quit on my first playthrough. A game should not feel like work, it’s supposed to be fun. That shit was not fun
@ People use boring as another way of saying “I have a short attention span” so I would never take this seriously
To be honest, I am disappointed with Insomniac today, which is the first anniversary of the game, they did not even deign to put new suits, in addition to the lack of communication with their fans, they knew that we wanted the DLC and they did not communicate anything, disappointment.
friend, you forget something important THEY SUFFERED A HACK, they are not at their best today
@@ryker4547those hackers didn't stop them from rushing the game in release tho
I suppose you won't pre-order the Wolverine game?
@@ryker4547 dude stop being so defensive
“They knew their fans wanted dlc” don’t pretend like the fans were in the right. They absolutely shouldn’t have given the spoiled brats what they wanted, something terrible happened to insomniac (data breach) and yet the fans don’t care, they just want more content. No the fans don’t deserve dlc.
I hate Marvel's Spider-man 2 story not because of "the woke" but bc this game is such a waste of potential. Why insomniac thought it was a good idea to do the symbiote arc (black suit, venom, the other symbiotes) in like 10 hours, kill most of the sinister six off screen and Peter doesn't care about that, give Spider-Man the anti venom suit that completely destroys the whole message of the black suit and teasing another spider person when they could barely focus on two spiders.
hate? nor that story has ruined your life and it's not even bad and IS GOOD GAME
FINALLY somekne who realises that Anti Venom COMPLETELY RUINS the LESSON that is SUPPOSED tk be learned from the symbiote arc.
Peter does NOT need extra powers, he was ALREADY HIM from.the beginning and just needed better time management and gadgets
But noooo they do the cheap fanservice route. And even had the audacity to NERF the antivenom suit
@@ryker4547 when I said the game was bad? I just said it disappointed me bc I really loved the gameplay and the story of the first game and Spider-Man is one of my fav superheroes. I'm not losing sleep over it, just giving my opinion bc I wanted this game to be better.

They definitely should’ve delayed the game to this year. A lot of content was cut. Sony obviously wanted to rush it. The third act was undercooked. And we had to wait months for updates like NG+ and even new suits. And now, we have no DLC. The first game, we knew DLC was coming before the game even came out, and we didn’t have to wait 6 months for NG+. And I don’t blame Insomniac. I blame Sony (for rushing the game for a 2023 release) and the hackers. Also, if there was going to be no DLC, at least announce it sooner instead of a year after the game came out. We almost got a Beetle DLC, a Carnage DLC, and a Spider-Verse DLC. They even canceled the GTA Online style multiplayer Spider-Man game. I hope they don’t cancel the Venom spin-off game we were supposed to get…
But you got to remember that this would mean they wouldnt have a major game for the holiday season for that year.
It was honestly baffling to me when Brian Intahar was talking about the Sony execs telling em they didn't have enough time but that they sympathize with their dilemma. Like brother, YOU EXECS ARE THE PROBLEM. You are the ones imposing this deadline on these devs, you can easily just taken an L for one holiday season and put out a generational sequel the following year! Instead we have to settle for a rushed project because dumb execs can't be bothered to see the vision for what the creatives are cooking up for the millionth time. Another year would've done wonders for that third act cuz ngl I actually didn't mind the game too much until Kraven died. Sure the black suit arc could've lasted a little longer but I was looking forward to Venom truly having the limelight as the main villain only for act 3 to be like 2 hours out of the 24 hour game. Such a shame man. I hope with the last Sony CEO gone Insomniac will be able to turn things around with that Venom game they're cooking up and hopefully SM3 isn't a further drop in quality
@@ozairchishti1264 PREACH
What they needed was better resource allocations and time management.
They had the time for stupid BVA and Hailey side missions and MJ missions that were shoved in. They wasted time on sections like the stupid Coney Island mission and bike rides instead of improving and adding mechanics or missions that do matter but they had to get those MJ missions in regardless.
Sony gave them 315 million and 5 years to build upon the foundation the first 2 games set up and they wasted both.

Laziness is why
City, knight and origins had it day one.
Sony fumbling the bag, keeping up with the tradition.
In case anyone didn’t know and what wasn’t already discussed in the video:
SILK LEAKED GAMEPLAY AND POSSIBLE MAP EXPANSION:
There’s leaked gameplay of silk but she has most of Miles’s animations (prob because he’s smaller than Peter) while she’s in a new playable area that’s West of sm2’s current map with it being closer to New Jersey.
(If the player glitched themself out of bounds using one of the trains, they would be able to actually explore this area of the map as it does appear on the map despite it not being fully rendered and not meant to be accessible by the player, but the player may have been to at one point or maybe in the future. However, I believe this was patched now, but I’m sure someone will find more when they use boundary break mods when the PC Poet arrives
CUT BLACK SUIT AND VENOM
CONTENT:
There’s leaked cut content gamplay of sm2 that showed destructible environments and with some more missions with Peter having the symbiote. Also with this being said Venom was also to make more appearance throughout the game (probably explaining why there were way more unused Tony Todd voice lines than what was actually present in game) with him actually seemingly ambushing the player in the open world in random encounters or at the very least they’re being another mission with Venom in the city like how most of the marketing showed.
(I’m not making this stuff up either as wishful thinking of what could’ve been-this is real, there’s videos online you can find of this cut Venom content)
LEFTOVER DEV BUILD CONFIRMING DLC CONTENT:
And finally on the same day they dropped NG+, they also accidentally left in a dev build in the game that could be accessed in the main menu so you could view the beetle dlc missions (about 8 missions I believe) but you couldn’t actually play them, these beetles missions were labeled as “Act 4” in the mission list so these missions were definitely planned at some point because the base game only has 3 acts. All this did was 100% confirm that the beetle DLC was real and planned so even if the carnage and spiderverse DLC weren’t real, we know the beetle DLC was. Not only that there was also game playable saves leftover from the developers of unfinished versions of the game. There was also another dev build that was accessible while in gameplay.
(This was shortly patched out of the game with an update less than 24 hours later but the footage is still out there and the damage has already been done)
To be honest when the PC port arrives I won’t be surprised if we find out some about cut content or plans, but I honestly don’t know what else we’d find at this point-we almost know everything planned up until SM2’s release and even Wolverine because of the playable build that released.
Sloppy, sloppy work. That's something I'd expect from Bethesda, not insomniac.

@@TheBatman39 ok
I thought that the story of Spider-Man 2 felt a bit empty at some points, but now hearing about all this cut content and Insomniac only using 10% of Tony Todd's line, all of this makes sense now. If only they knew there was going to have been so much on the cutting room floor, I wonder if they would've switched the idea of having Venom be the main antagonist to Kraven being the main antagonist. Because at times during the story mode, Kraven felt like a bigger threat than Venom did, had Venom have been given more dialogue then this probably wouldn't have been a problem.
I'm sick of Sony bullshit man... They constantly be doing Spider-Man dirty. No Matter What so they should either shut up and let these people cook or give back the license to the games and the movies back to Marvel so even if it may not be necessarily better and more sanitized. But at the very least it will be more consistent and there will be a lot more Spider-Man content coming out.
We’re not entitled to dlc stop crying
Pissed away their good faith and trust in one game
Impressive
Don't worry they'll always have their ass munchers ready and waiting to eat whatever they give them.
Insomniac gets away with stuff like this because they know they’ll make money regardless because it’s Spider-Man. Those arkham games were fun to play, had plenty of content in the base game, and had great dlc. Insomniac Spider-Man games are fun, but they’re always missing things that should’ve been there from the start, and they’re too short (especially when you have 2 spidermen and venom, i think Peter had the suit for like 2-3 days and he didn’t even do anything that bad he was just a little rude to his friends and aggressive with enemies, but not doing anything necessarily wrong). How the hell do you wait an entire year to reveal you won’t be making any dlc for this short ass game?
They got friggin Hacked! what don't people get about that. They lost pretty much everything and have built from the ground up of whatever remained after the hack.
This could have easly been a be careful what you wish for kind of thing . So like they release the dlc but its mid and insultingly short , so now everybody would be saying " i rather we just didn't get a dlc at all."
I hope people wouldn't react like that, in a game you like, more content is just gravy, as long as it's gameplay.
Granted I fucking hate this game😂
@@zionharris9432your problem
Fr, people are never satisfied with anything nowadays smh
I think it's stupid they refuse to give us any dlc for Spider-Man 2 it solid very well and it was a good game and the fans wanted dlc but nope just refused to give us anything
They had time and money to make MJ missions again but not for DLC
smh 🙄
I feel like the MJ missions in this game are an excuse to use game mechanics of a third person shooter that Sony doesn't want Insomniac to make
I would had much rather play as Black Cat than MJ. That also applies to the first game
I can’t really be disappointed that there’s no dlc as I didn’t even like the 1st games dlc. Honestly I’d rather Carnage be saved for a Venom game or maybe the Spider-man 3 for a Red Goblin third act reveal, than for him to get the Hammerhead treatment
Same
The reason for the lack of post-launch DLC is really due to the game itself essentially being DLC of the first game sold as a full priced game with significantly less missions than the first game with less fulfilling side missions. It's doesn't really make any real graphical, gameplay, or narrative leaps from the first game either.
I entirely blame the hackers.
I don't, there is no way they were ever going to deliver the DLC regardless, it's the last of us 2 multiplayer all over again.
Insomniac didn’t give a direct answer for months and just now decided to, they even left in a sort of beetle teaser in the debug menu after the march update. The hack was bad but I truly believe if insomniac was ever going to do dlc it would have been said before even that… but who knows they might pull a gow ragnarok.
I believe it's just absolutely petty and stupid to cancel something you're working on just because it got leaked
Alot of the dialogue felt very fake. Like HR was in the room with them and they couldn't talk like normal everyday people. Most of the Coney island dialogue was cringe and felt like hallmark christmas movie lines.
I hope Cletus Cassidy/Carnage doesn't get retconned so that they along with the dangerous flame cult appears in Spider-Man 3. Hopefully not as rushed villains.
I hated Spiderman 2 with a burning passion. I went back recently Spiderman 1 bought the remaster and like you said there’s so much more to it. Yes the swinging and new stealth moves were better in part 2 but that’s it, everything else is bad. 1st game had better combat variety, enemies were better and more believable, story was Oscar worthy when compared to part 2. I never want to return to part 2, they ruined the venom arc in this universe already so as far as I’m concerned I won’t buy part 3, this story is ruined.
image hating a good game, sometimes you feel sorry for yourself
Is only the rocking the only good thing? another stupid reason for not taking you seriously, WHEN YOU HAVE MORE GOOD THINGS
actually the combat in this game is better and that's a fact
"don't expect to go back to part 2", when you are a normal person who hates hearing that nonsense
@@ryker4547 are you a bot?
The graffiti bits in infamous second son were LEAGUES better then that hailey mission and that game came out a decade ago
reminder, Sweet baby inc was involved.
That’s what I feel most people fail to understand
Yep and God of war ragnarok, funny how both GOW 2018 and MSM1 are both superior in every way than their sequels, I’d rather replay both of the first games than their sequels by a land slide
@@EternalNightingaleGod Of War: Ragnarok is miles superior to God Of War 2018 in almost every single way. You clearly never played it or even saw footage of it.
Now that i think about it, the story in the first game makes the second one look like a complete dull boring fanfiction. Only good thing about the sequel is the much faster improved web swinging and combat system, the rest i don't care.
@@RedDeath2001 The parry mechanic sucks.

No one should be surprised, that hack killed any chance of DLC for this game so the anger I keep reading about seems like entitlement at it's highest degree, basic logic and common sense would have been able to reveal that. I would much rather they cancel it and reroll it into Spider-Man 3 and take the time to make it amazing and a great send off rather then power rush through it which is what would happen if DLC is released for Spider-Man 2 now. Like that hack very easily could have killed Insomiac we should just be glad they are still here
Can you make a video talking about avengers emh
Yes, I NEED this man to talk about it. He's a DC fan obviously so it'd be cool to see his take on what was Marvel's parallel to the DCAU
Yes avengers emh was a great show so it would be nice to see him talk about it
It would be fine if we didnt have the DLC, except there are a lot of storylines that will have to be resolved in the third game

Still better than every other game that released that year

Someone should talk to the people in Insomniac Games about why the hell the DLCs for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was cancelled?
Studios gotta learn that its 100% okay to delay a game if it means it will actually release as a finished product. The world is tired of half-baked wastes of potential
5 years to build on the first game maybe better time and resource management is what they need to learn.
A delayed game is better than a rushed game.

@@BrandontheAwesomeno
disappointed? Literally the game is very good
@@ryker4547 Yes.
@@ryker4547 It is not.
I said this game was under baked a year ago because they obviously had priorities elsewhere and people didnt want to hear it. They couldnt even properly manage a Mile and Peter story now they want to add a third while also telling her origin story and the green goblin, carnage, dr octopus and chameleon story?
Eh Im fine with it. Id rather them devote all their resources to the new Wolverine game theyre working on.
Same. Finally a non-toxic comment
9:00 i agree. They refuse to make the game longer and won’t even make dlc. The game feels way too short with 2 characters so how the hell are they going to split a story between 3 characters.
I haven’t bought a new modern game in a while , I’m happy with my other older games
I’m assuming that leak killed the DLC since Insomniac had allocate their time dealing with that and working on Wolverine. Not that it really matters because it’s obvious Sony made them rush it out the door so they could add something to the 2024 release roster lmao. It’s a miracle it came out as decent as it did, but hopefully they get more time to cook with the 3rd one
What’s even more disappointing is that we had to wait 5 years for even less content 😪🤧 Great game still but definitely far from perfect when it comes to the pacing.
Your, critique of Sindy Moon being included is my exact critique of Miles being included.
I don’t care if these spin off characters get their own games but when I buy a Spider-Man game, I want to play as the main character for the entirety of the game .
I’m so tired of Spider-Man games being divided by Spider-Man and other playable characters .
There’s too many of them that do this .
We got a solid Batman trilogy with a prequel bonus game
I want a series of games like that for Spider-Man
Have spin off games for the other characters, have optional playable characters for side missions but I want to be able to play as Spider-Man for the entire game without having to switch to venom, MJ, miles, Sindy 2099 and so on.
Don’t feel like I’m asking a lot: just the same amount of content we got in the previous two games. They really took steps back with this one. Even the collectibles took a cut.
The game wasn't horrible but we had a lack of serious villain interaction here. With the exception of Kraven there was no real threat level from anything in the game. For some reason Insomniac decided to "reform" several of it's best villains and had Kraven kill off others without us even really doing anything with them.
Add the fact that they nerfed the gadgets that Peter had and I wasn't really impressed. I get that they wanted it not to feel like a Batman game apparently, but they seemed to forget that Peter is a genius who can and does make gadgets like his web shooters! The way they turned his gadgets into these generic toys wasn't good in any way, and the recharge on them was just horrible.
Swear Sony loves to mess with Spider-Man content
What to expect from a game that had cut content in favor of focusing more on side characters like MJ. ( Damn, she had more screen than Venom, and her way of approaching Peter is exaggerated. ) Peter and Miles chemistry is good, they had to stick with that and focus on bosses, plot, and the ending.
No one wants to see SBI poster child game story continue.
No. one.
I feel like Spider-Man 2 has so much Potential and if it got delayed by another Year it would have been Amazing, but in the End while the Game is Good, it still feels like a Disappointment and Mispotential.

Honestly I am fine with Insomniac creating shorter games more frequently. Compared to every other Sony studio where we're getting one project per generation, having a team that can release all of Miles Morales, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Spiderman 2, and Wolverine is a great change of pace.
Same
Sorry bro ain't paiyng 70$ for demo
The game being short isn't the problem it's wasting that with trivial garbage like the Coney Island section, BVA, EMF and Hailey's side quest with MJ sequences wasting time instead of giving us the better missions that were likely canceled to fit in the crap I mentioned earlier.
It’s like Spider-Man 3 (2007) all over again. At least they have a shot or redemption this time 👍
I loved Spiderman 2 but i agree i feel like the final act was really rushed and there shouldve been some more content with Venom gooing all over the city 😂
The fact that this game also was priced at $70 and we had to wait awhile for New Game Plus is also crazy. New Game Plus should've been in the base game at launch
I think Insomniac Venom is a bit overhated by the majority of the Spider Man fandom.
Agreed, he doesn't deserve to be hated. I hate what this fandom has become
@@demosneokleous4877Yeah. I know that a lot of fandoms have toxic fans, but the Spider-Man fandom is super toxic.
I get how you feel. I’m the oldest child in my family my parents have always been proud of my academic accomplishments growing up. Now that I’m in college I recently completed my second year with a 3.3 gpa (my mom wanted me to make 3 at least for the sake of my scholarships) and I’ll never forget for the rest of my life being so excited to tell her I did it. Just for her to tell me it wasn’t good enough and that I need to dedicate myself more. It crushed me it seems like I can only do wrong in her eyes at times. I’ve developed a mentality that I have no worth if not for my grades because of this and how I was raised. If it’s shown me anything it’s that i should do what I wanna do and do it for myself because no matter how I try some people will only see my accomplishments as failures. This applies to you too Hailey don’t forget that. Your academic stuff DOES NOT define your worth. Keep your head I believe in you. Good job for coming so far don’t give up in the things you wanna do!

You are missing out
@@demosneokleous4877 Nah this game is some booty buns
The writing is incredibly disappointing, for having so many heavy hitters in a game the story ironically feels very inconsequential and stake-less. Way too many cooks in the kitchen. This game didn't need Venom or that female symbiote I forgot the name of. This should've been Goblin and Kraven on the side and the third one should've been Eddie Brock Venom (OG GOAT) and Carnage vs Peter and Miles. Extra nitpick is how incompetent they made Peter in this game and I don't care about Insomniac Miles at all. He's boring and has an annoying voice. The success of Spiderverse doesn't mean they have to shoehorn him into everything. Peter's symbiote arc is so special because he endures it all alone and by himself, having Miles with him undermines his arc
I’m afraid Spider-Man 3 prob gonna have amazing gameplay but another lackluster story
The game is literally not out and you speak ahead of time
@@ryker4547 Stop crying.

@Blurs8761 or I just liked the game. Yes, the story could've been better, but I enjoyed the game overall
Honestly they just fucked themselves out of me buying a 3rd game. I was ok with all the forced hand holding bullshit at times and the lack of some features, but gutting a whole section of your game that needs to be fleshed out because you got leaked? Thats the most crybaby shit ever
I love Spider-Man 2 but this game needed to cook longer. I’m not gonna say it’s as bad as cyberpunk 2077, but Spider-Man 2 feels unfinished.
Atleast cyberpunk took a full 180° and turned the game from a dissapointment into something worth the price of purchase. SM2 still feels like it wasn't worth the price I payed.
Ngl imagine getting uppercutted so bad that you fly up then Spider-Man swings in and kicks you higher

Real wishes granted~make a real wish come true~real wishes come true
I found this website and it's supposed to grant real wishes. After a wish is granted, it's gotta be followed to the T. I tried making a wish about Marvel Spiderman 2 getting a DLC and an expansion but it didn't work on my laptop if anyone wants to give this a try, here's the info above👆👆👆
Insomniac - Doesn't intentionally announce or promise officially any DLCs, so not to build false expectations or hype and people wouldn't get mad.
That side of internet: Still gets mad for Insomniac not delivering something that they never promised in the first place. But reactionaries gotta be reactionaries.
Facts. People are overly toxic nowadays
0:30 it sucked even more that in those 5 months waiting, we couldn't even replay certain missions or even bases. It didn't even have any variety in the bases. No other base faction other than Kraven. THE ONLY THING we could do was the mysterio missions and only Miles could do it, not Peter. TO THIS DAY, we still ain't got a friendly neighborhood spiderman app that lets us choose whatever crimes to fight at any time. Miles Morales had this crap at launch.
I can sleep better tonight knowing I don't have to return to spiderman 2 every again!
IDK how people blame the wasted potential of this game mostly on it being rushed when it has so many stupid additional gameplay sections that have nothing to do with Spider-Man and give the developers the need to add skip buttons to a bunch of them like bees, graffiti, gays, bots, MJ, carnival games, etc. These people took several breaks from making a SM game while on the job and people are out here saying they were rushed.
I entirely blame Intihar and Sweet Baby for why this game is bad, and I've done my research so I'm not blowing smoke. He said on a podcast that they intentionally cut content just to make the MJ missions and to include her more to the story in the end, and if you've seen the leaks you'd know they were make you switch back between Peter and Miles fighting Venom and hordes of symbiotes in the streets, WITH DESTRUCTABLE ENVIRONMENTS!!!!!
And the hand where Sweet Baby was all over this, like you said that Hallie mission and the Brooklyn Visions missions were purely added for forced diversity and waste our time, characters having immense plot armor or nerfed into the ground, and overall the most lackluster side content, sorry, most unrewarding side content I've ever seen. Most of the good suits were ones from the movies, and the choices they made on which outfits to add was nonsensical. Not to mention the heaps of bugs, glitches, gamebreaking moments of which there were a decent amount, and felt more like a waste of time toward the end. I used to be of the mindset 2 out of the 3 acts were really good, but the whole game has heaps of problems. They tried to balance Peter and Miles even though this should've primarily been Peter's story, resulting in a clusterf*** of yet again, nonsense.
As a Spidey fan, and I mean die hard Spidey fan, this caliber of SM games was something of a dream of mine, the first game blew me away, this game hardly felt worth the 70 bucks and hundreds of hours playing. Only great thing about this game is the swinging, everything else is terrible to an extent. Not gonna be buying the 3rd game with how shafted we all got.
spiderman 3 better be like 60+ hours worth of content given how absolutely disappointing and how much wasted potential SM2 was. there was easily another 10-15 hours left on the table worth of content, gameplay and story in SM2. such a shame
I didn't play either games but it sounds like Spider-Man 2 wasn't as successful as the prequel. That's probably why they didn't bother making a DLC.
It's the best selling PS5 game
