Chris put into words so well what I couldn’t put my finger on with Insomniac’s Spider-Man. The characters being “absurdly Mormon” is so hilarious and true. There is no edge or style to this series.
The same thing happened with their Ratchet & Clank series. I remember the PS2 games having a bunch of sexual innuendos. Video game writers have become such prudes.
Dang I gotta be honest im pissed Dagan isn’t on this. Just listened to 3 knockbacks that were based on the lead up for this exact game, and he ain’t even here.
Yeah what the fuck, dude? Was totally looking forward to hearing Dagan's thoughts considering he's been playing the games for this exact reason... This is the first time I've been legitmately disappointed by a Sacred Symbols episode...
Colin, you can definitely get good speed with the web-wings outside of wind tunnels. The easiest way is to go into a divebomb for a couple seconds and then transition to the web wings. You can also get pretty good speed from a point launch or by angling downward while flying over a vent.
As I am listening to their thoughts on the story, I find that Chris is voicing most of my thoughts. I also agree with Gene that this seems like it was written for children, but this is a much more difficult game than something like Ratchet and Clank. I think the reason Colin sees it as pandering might be part of that immature writing aspect. I actually found Horizon Forbidden West to pander a little more.
I love what Chris said about how they treated Venom’s identity like it was a mystery pre-release. I was so dumbfounded, I vividly remembered it being clearly set up at the end of the first game. And it was, there was absolutely no doubt who it was gonna be.
I’m watching this 5 days after it was published and I’m sad to say, from the Insomniac leaks, Rift Apart massively undersold and they lost money on it. It’s probably one of my favorite games of this generation, but came out when there were very few PS5’s on the market. It just blows my mind a game that good could undersale so badly.
I think the lack of Haley sequence subtitles was to show how she interprets the world differently than we do, as words might be less meaningful to a deaf person, they may have interior monologue that isn't like our "word thoughts" in our heads, and more images, feelings, sensations.
MJ is more homely than ever in this, glad Chris said something lol. It wasn't just the hair and the face but they made her dress like a mom in her 50s too, why?
Same reason they made Aloy fat in the Horizon sequel. It's a leftist world view thing. They uglify women for... the reason changes all the time. My question is why is LSM and the comments section playing dumb about it?
Yeah, the MJ parts were only despised by a majority of the audience from the first game, so why not double up on them? I've played 5 Insomniac games on PS4 and PS5, and I enjoyed all of them, but they are not in league with Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Guerilla, Sucker Punch or IMO even Bend (I really liked Days Gone)
Loved this game, and I'm GLAD it wasnt too long. It's nice to have a 20 hour experience every now and then. I have such a long backlog because most of them are 40+ hour games and I unfortunately don't have enough time to game like I used to
You only had to stealth takedown 25 guys from the spider line. You can farm that from some of the random crimes. I had to farm the "use venom powers 25 times while in venom surge mode" that was probably harder to farm than the stealth takedown one. The only thing with the stealth takedown is you would have to wait for certain types of crimes to appear.
The gameplay is fun but the horrible writing has kept me from playing the last quarter of the game. I doubt I'll buy the DLC or another Insomniac title.
I’m also glad Colin could admit that the PlayStation brand would be screwed without insomniac, yet everyone is out here tooting Sony’s horn for being completely average in every other sense
My only complaint. First, they made Peter look worse by being basically a mutated Tom holland. And now they've made Mary Jane look noticeably worse versus the original model. We don't need her to look like she has bushy Dolph Lundgren eyebrows
They do expand upon crazy, but its through subtle details that are easy to miss in the side missions. He starts going crazy from the serum he is taking to help keep him alive long enough to find an oppone to give him a worthy death.
@gene Surprised you didn’t correct Chris when he said no other adaptation had Peter get worn by the Symbiote while asleep! The Spectacular Spider-Man tv series did it even better by having him wrecked the sinister six while asleep 🔥 On an aside, I wish the symbiote was on Peter longer. The addiction story aspect would be powerful if he had worn it for a couple weeks or even a month.
Why is everyone saying Venom is gone? Or dead? In the game you literally learn that the symbiote does not die. It remains dormant. That’s how Peter gets the Anti-Venom suit. The Goblin serum will be used on Harry and it will trigger the symbiote awakening after Norman uses it on himself to turn into the Green Goblin.
I experienced bugs with Uncharted 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, and Ghost of Tsushima where I needed to contact the developers with the hope they would patch it soon because it was preventing me from progressing. I experienced minor bugs with Spiderman 2 but nothing disruptive to the overall experience. Not sure how this game is below Sony's usual standard in terms of that. That's not a knock against Sony but I just don't see where that narrative comes from that they release games which are 100% free of bugs.
I really enjoyed the game, it was a fun and easy Plat. I do agree with Chris about the bicycle segments. Not sure we really needed that but no big deal.
I enjoyed the game, mostly because I’m a huge Venom fan. The only bug I got was Peter getting stuck on scenery in the Coney Island section. I could have done without the MJ stuff again. I just really wanted more Venom. Not sure if it was a leave them wanting more kind of thing, but that was a bit of a let down for me. When Venom was on screen he was amazing, I just wanted more.
didnt enjoy it very much, felt like something was off by switching the characters 50% of the time also, the ending, it felt like the game was about retiring Pete from the get go.
I think Tears of the Kingdom was the BEST game I played this year but Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was the most fun I’ve had this year minute to minute. Its combat is awesome and the traversal is S tier and even the side stuff has a great mix of variety and serve a great breaks from the action. The story is good but has a few issues including pacing but gameplay wise this is the most fun I’ve had this year. Seems a bit underrated to me because it’s a sequel but to each their own.
Speaking on Bugs and Glitches. After the mission where Peter unlocks the anti-venom suit my game failed to load the next mission. So I had to restart from a previous save and replay through half of the game. After getting back to the mission again it glitched again. Basically what happens is you get a call from Dr Connors and it gets cut out quickly by Venoms attack on his lab. What my game did was load and stop the call immediately so I never heard him or got the way point for the mission. Fortunately this time I quit and restarts the game which allowed me to hear the call and get the mission way point.
interesting, I've never ever heard spider-mans rouge gallery considered to be rubbish and uninteresting. It's generally accepted that it's only bettered by Batman's
We went from we don’t like the tinkering with robotics in spider man to that hurt the pacing to, oh love playing as a random deaf child that miles girlfriend or what ever. Rather just play as Spider-Man. Being Spider-Man and helping people or fighting crime.
“New Normal” line is one of the cringiest lines in gaming history lol. We laughed out loud when MJ said that. Did enjoy the game though. Not as good as the first.
Really sounds like the SJW choices in this game made it suffer overall. From the MJ sections, downgraded character models, lackluster story, the insane "degenderfication" of Spanish language, ect. Can we admit these things in our games are actually making a worse game? Not every one of these things turns out fantastic in spite of the mess, like TLOU2.
Just finished this game a few days ago and am here to watch this panel. To me the game was a solid 8.5. So great on a lot of the gameplay mechanics and traversal but to me the story, especially the writing, was really poor in spots. Peter Parker was saved more times than any of the side characters and felt like he was apologizing the entire time. Also the boss battles could have been so much more dynamic. They never exceeded the intro with Sandman. Attack, parry, dodge all day.
As an 80s kid that was obsessed with Spider-Man. In particular the McFarlane run and the whole symbiote storyline. All I’ve wanted was to see the symbiote storyline done right. Especially Venom.. he’s never been done right in the films and to see Venom truly brought to life in this game was special. This game was absolutely incredible, a dream come true, and had my jaw on the floor over and over again. I just beat it last night and started my second play through today. To me it feels like they were setting up a Miles Morales 2 with the ending of this game. Pete taking a break gives a good excuse for why he’s not around for Miles 2. Then the after credits scene with Doc Ock was the set up for Spider-Man 3.
I thought the same thing about venom. He looked absolutely amazing and when I saw him the first time I said to myself this was the best representation we have ever gotten for him in the game/film medium by far.
I liked this game a lot, but it’s time for the Spider-Man story to grow up a bit. Pete doesn’t have to worry about keeping jobs and money, he can rob criminals for a bit of cash and have a small tech startup as a laundering business.
Chris gives me slightly above average IQ, but has referred that to meaning he understands things better than most people when he definitely definitely definitely doesn’t.
As a huge fan of the first game; my quick review is this game was a disappointment. Maybe it’s just that the novelty wore off but the first game felt almost perfect.
@@Mr8T1 You thinking that Dustin shouldn't be on because he missed those low effort side quests is what we call a terrible take. The side quests are Ubisoft level "turn off your brain" content, so I'm not surprised you enjoyed.
As far as the rogues gallery, they’ve used pretty much all the famous classic villains but they still left some on the table. Obviously Goblin and Doc Ock, Rhino, Chameleon, Morbius (Morgan Michaels), Carnage, Kingpin. Also, they can still use lesser known ones that honestly deserve some time in the sun, like Hydro-Man, Molten Man, Silvermane, Will o the Wisp, Spot, Beetle, the Smythes That being said Carnage sucks and should absolutely be DLC
Some characters just shouldn't kill. Injustice shows this pretty well, because if Superman flips the, "end them" switch, then we get what ends up being a fascistic dictatorship ruled through fear. In addition, the marvel universe addresses this in civil war, and with many mutant related comics. If spiderman starts murdering people. Then Pete is going to jail, and Tony Stark will put him there.
Venom was really disappointing. He was in the game for like 5 hours and it feels like he was beaten so easily. Most of his side stuff was boring combat challenges and the missions involving him, except the first one, were just blah
man I loved the Skream section, I was thinking we would get to play as her. I thought it was funny how it was basically a super couple fight. One thing that annoyed me about the skill trees was it seemed like you had to choose one skill over another due to them being right next to each other but you could have both. Didn't realize that until the end of the game
Colin you have to see Spider-Man 3. I absolutely loved it. Saw it in theaters day one and was in awe. I never understood the hate on that film. Tobey is always my Spider-man! Game talk: story was weaker than the first, and they missed with the parry imo
I want so badly for someone to dive into whatever the hell is going on with property rights where the Chrysler building is missing and empire state magically repels venom tendrils
lol what? Spider-Man has a great rouges gallery, far deeper then Batman’s, there’s more then enough to draw for villains, you guys just know the most popular ones. talk about a stupid take. Also Harry doesn’t have cancer dude. Lots of ignorance in this spoiler cast.
I know Dustin is allowed to be in any video he wants because he's the main character, but at least be fucking bothered to do the side quests. D has really lost any value in these convos compared to anyone else.
People complaining about Mary Jane’s looks have never touched a woman in their lives, and the intern self insert rumor is ridiculous She is modeled off of instagram/skincare influencer Stephanie Tyler Jones, an incredibly attractive woman. I think the issue is that the in game model her eyes bug out a bit, and too much light shines on her and gives that “Bethesda stare” look. But regardless, her face is SM2 looks closer to the actress, so they probably made that decision to make animation of her facial expressions more accurate.
Man, listening to old man Park and alt-right Colin cry about inclusion is really Yikes Gene, the game isn’t woke. Gay people exist. Deaf people exist. Stop viewing everything from a “woke hunter” lens. It’s a game. Relax
Nah man this game is full of woke shit. That side quest exists exclusively to have a gay side quest. It was extremely boring and not something anyone wants to do in a spiderman game.
lol nice try with the libel there. Well not really, it was more like the writing of this game, lazy. Its not the 'inclusion of a 'gay character', is the fact youre actively helping him ask his boyfriend out 'lol big spiderman problems'. Its the inclusion of more 'they/them' nonsense that doesn't work within reality and is nothing more than a religion, yet they think the world agrees with them. We don't, and this nonsense will be called out for the pandering that it is and ridiculed as is rightly deserved.
The writing was lazy. So it comes off as pandering to a demographic as opposed to telling a story. Colin nor Gene have any issue with the last of us 2 and neither do I. Spider-Man felt like they put a gay mission in there for social points.
I feel like Chris and Gene probably enjoyed the story beats more on their own than when they came to the group to have fun and talk shit. It seems like they feed off on each other's irreverant energy and poke fun at normal story stuff (like funk led to rap... yeah it's kinda obvious but who cares?). Also, Gene wants Colin's nutsack in his mouth SO BAD it's kinda cringe lol. I've never seen him disagree with him... ever. Edit: Holy shit! Colin just said it himself: "We're really beating the game up more than we actually feel..." Yeah. I can tell. It's very transparent.
The game is 100% pandering for that ESG score. Another 'They/Them' scientist with her little flag in a game. And now with them saying Miles will be the main spiderman? Embarrassing.
Chris put into words so well what I couldn’t put my finger on with Insomniac’s Spider-Man. The characters being “absurdly Mormon” is so hilarious and true. There is no edge or style to this series.

It's a shame no one mentioned Bully Lowenthal roasting the shit out of the Lizard. "No wonder your family left you" was hilarious
Maybe Dr. Connor should have replied "oh yeah, well your older brother killed your entire family...how about that?"
Colin, you can definitely get good speed with the web-wings outside of wind tunnels. The easiest way is to go into a divebomb for a couple seconds and then transition to the web wings. You can also get pretty good speed from a point launch or by angling downward while flying over a vent.

Dude. The whole "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" thing means Spider-Man isn't too big to help. Chris seems to get it.
Take a shot every time Chris says “Ludonarrative dissonance”
Bang your head within a PS5 faceplate every time he uses the term incorrectly
Or "out of pocket"
I love what Chris said about how they treated Venom’s identity like it was a mystery pre-release.

Definitely should have been Dagan instead of Dustin. Dustin didn't even beat any of the side quests because he said he simply didn't care.
The only side-quest that I even enjoyed was chasing the drones.

what does harry have? they never say it, he basically has the same disease morbius did in the morbius movie. its a safe copout
I dont get Dustin, plays eldin ring/ baldurs gate but does not like open world games
Miles becoming Goku is hilarious 😂. I absolutely loved the first game. This game is good but has glaring flaws.
I know Dustin is allowed to be in any video he wants because he's the main character, but at least be fucking bothered to do the side quests. D has really lost any value in these convos compared to anyone else.
Yep he’s pointless in this video
Ive been waiting for this since i platinum'd the game on the sunday after it came out.
Did you enjoy it?
@@Loopez2284 ya
Arkham knight was made up for the last game
How on earth can anyone enjoy watching & playing two young men in tight pants swinging around a city😩 What ever floats your boat I suppose!
People complaining about Mary Jane’s looks have never touched a woman in their lives, and the intern self insert rumor is ridiculous
She is modeled off of instagram/skincare influencer Stephanie Tyler Jones, an incredibly attractive woman. I think the issue is that the in game model her eyes bug out a bit, and too much light shines on her and gives that “Bethesda stare” look. But regardless, her face is SM2 looks closer to the actress, so they probably made that decision to make animation of her facial expressions more accurate.
Man, listening to old man Park and alt-right Colin cry about inclusion is really Yikes
Gene, the game isn’t woke. Gay people exist. Deaf people exist. Stop viewing everything from a “woke hunter” lens. It’s a game. Relax
Nah man this game is full of woke shit. That side quest exists exclusively to have a gay side quest. It was extremely boring and not something anyone wants to do in a spiderman game.
lol nice try with the libel there. Well not really, it was more like the writing of this game, lazy.
Its not the 'inclusion of a 'gay character', is the fact youre actively helping him ask his boyfriend out 'lol big spiderman problems'. Its the inclusion of more 'they/them' nonsense that doesn't work within reality and is nothing more than a religion, yet they think the world agrees with them. We don't, and this nonsense will be called out for the pandering that it is and ridiculed as is rightly deserved.
The writing was lazy. So it comes off as pandering to a demographic as opposed to telling a story. Colin nor Gene have any issue with the last of us 2 and neither do I. Spider-Man felt like they put a gay mission in there for social points.
Certainly Colin and Gene can't be that bad since you...pay for their content every month? Lol
Did you not see the BLM painting in Miles? Gtfoh 😂😂😂
I feel like Chris and Gene probably enjoyed the story beats more on their own than when they came to the group to have fun and talk shit. It seems like they feed off on each other's irreverant energy and poke fun at normal story stuff (like funk led to rap... yeah it's kinda obvious but who cares?).
Also, Gene wants Colin's nutsack in his mouth SO BAD it's kinda cringe lol. I've never seen him disagree with him... ever.
Edit: Holy shit! Colin just said it himself: "We're really beating the game up more than we actually feel..." Yeah. I can tell. It's very transparent.
Nah
Do y’all even enjoy games? LMAOOOOOOO tf is this review
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free 🇵🇸🇮🇪
Spider-Activist 2 makes you FEEL like Peter is a climate change activist who is worse than a black teen.
The game is 100% pandering for that ESG score. Another 'They/Them' scientist with her little flag in a game. And now with them saying Miles will be the main spiderman? Embarrassing.
Right, anything with women and minorities is pandering.... I know it scares you that it's not just a game with white people.
