It's absolutely insane that they could have had Silver Sable, Black Cat, or Yuri be playable in the game but instead they went with MJ. You have three notable female characters who are competent fighters that people would be excited to play as yet they chose the one who is just a civilian and needed to have reality bend around her to make her OP by their own admission.
Hell, both Yuri and Black Cat are in the game. There was no excuse not to use them, especially if they wanted female characters to play as opposed to MJ.
They aren’t important in the grand scheme of things in the story. Sable is dealing with shit symkaria. Black cat is dealing with her own shit. Yuri is a side character u get to team up with in the flame missions. She’s a anti hero and it isn’t a wraith game would you wanna okay as someone who isn’t even a main protagonist. Never was. Y’all complain about the dumbest things. Mj is actually a character that makes sense to play as. And it’s only 3 missions and they’re actually fun this time around.
They know full well they could've used those characters but they purposely didn't cause the fans complained the last time so they did out of spite. I can't stand them tbh. The wokes are purposely destroying everything we love. Basically everything they do fails but they do it anyway. They'd blow the world up if a studio put the national anthem or a prayer in a video game. They'd burn down a mall if that happened.
Just a reminder: they cut Venom, Black Suit, Normal Spiderman and Miles parts POSSIBLY Carnage for more walkie talkie virtu signalling and Mary Jane missions. These devs are disgusting. They cut the part that was marketed in the CG trailer and a Venom chase mission. I know they don’t care but this is the last Sony exclusive I bought. Had enough of their crap.
It doesn’t matter Sony fans are going to run damage control they could cut Spider-Man down to nothing and do nothing but mj missions and Sony fans would call it game of the year
It baffles me that at no point it seemed like Insomniac went, "We can make Black Cat playable so the player can have a little more fun with her abilities and stealth sections would make sense for this character." It baffles me. Edit: so the game director said that he wanted to prove "you don't need powers to be a hero." Black Cat doesn't have powers either lol I miss the Insomniac that gave us Sunset Overdrive😢
Oh yeah, I love Sunset Overdrive! It was such fun and unique game. Great humor, great music, not woke at all! I will never understand why Microsoft didn't see the potential in that studio. And sponsor a second game or buy them before Sony did! 😢 Huge missed opportunity for Xbox there!! 🤦♂️
Bro the disrespect, he cut out potential content just for this mary jane. We could have more venom gameplay or or or.....play as scream for a bit if you care for mj that much
MJ cannot be shown as evil, she’s the real hero of the story lol Even as Scream it was just victimhood crap and Peter was agreeing with her the entire time 😂
@@foulXD It wasn’t even that bad fr, I liked the zoo and the section with the hunters because of the chase! The only one that didn’t make sense to me was her running head first into the symbiote nest 😂 I was like “WTF ARE YOU DOING!?!”
@@VGGamessFrom what I have seen her gameplay parts are dog shit. You can run around and knock opponents out like Big Boss from MG games. Chase parts are more like a illusion and you can stop to drink a cup of tea. Some quick time events are a illusion too. You can do nothing and there is no fail state. Nothing happens. Her sections in the first game were dog shit too. So many unnecessary mechanics, assets and etc used just so they could feed you multiple hours of this god awful content that is just illusion of playing a game. It could have been used to polish the game or add meaningful content. You can remove all the gameplay with MJ and you will not lose anything. Probably even make game more enjoyable.
you know you're in for an amazing stunning and inclusive adventure when,you hear a developer use the words "proactive" and "I don't care" during an interview. These guys love to hate their fans
@TheSporehacker1992 bro just bringing something like that up out of no where sounds like some really hard projection of your own insecurity holy shit lmao
@@iangarcia1585 Wait a minute didn't the Mario and the fnaf come from the actual fans who were talking about the critics who didn't like those movies.
If they had to check the ''playable female character'' list, could't it be Black Cat? They could've took a page from Arkham Series, Catwoman's gameplay was really enjoyable
Yea but Black Cat is tooo feminine and actually a good idea to use. They must make regular normal MJ a hero for all “ultra modern feminists” to believe they can be the hero. 😒 Kill me now I can’t stand this pandering and I want actual good likable, flawed, beautiful, and human female character but that’s too much to ask for. And even I like playing strong men and I don’t need a playable female character in every game. For goodness sake these devs need to stick out their *ss and talk to normal people for once.
@@chris_player2995 Only average to ugly women are allowed to be the main female of any video game franchise. Beautiful,sexy, and cute women are to much of a threat to “modern women”.

Him saying “I don’t give a shit” is him basically saying “I don’t give a shit about customer feedback, we’re gonna double down and give more of what they didn’t want” gotta love modern video game devs having a huge ego and rather than giving fans what they ask for they decide to fight against the paying customer.
Reminds me of ninja theory with DmC: devil may cry. I love that game, but the director's response to the fan backlash was basically the same "i don't give a shit."
Cry more yall are the minority on this subject. The game broke records, and the next one will too I'm sure to yall we'll all be "sheep" for playing it too 😂
@@zacharyspiker8090 aw how cute, someone got butthurt that we criticized their precious triple A company and can’t accept that people have different opinions 🤣
Hell, I'm gay and I thought that mission was cringe. I mean, a cutscene would have been enough, but the fact that they had to dedicate an entire side mission for that? Come on! Plus it was pretty stereotypical I would never want a guy to ask me out like that 🤣
@@TheBatman39This is the honey moon stage with gaming bro it’ll die down trust me. And when this game doesn’t win GOTY I think a lot more attention will be taken off of SM2.
@TheBatman39 Game isn't perfect, but I'm tired of people acting like it's bad and "gaming is dead" because it's a popular game. It's a good game with a good story. And before you say "oh you just like movie games" The doom franchise and DMC are some of my favorites ever. Top 5. I enjoy gameplay. I'm just tired of people being mad that games like SM2 exist.
It's sad to see that one of my favourite game developers Insomniac, the gaming studio that made such great games such as Spyro The Dragon and my personal favourite PS2 franchise Ratchet and Clank to fall so low in the future.
I'd be very interested to see how many people who worked on the Spyro games are still working in Insomniac & have worked on SM2, same thing with Naughty Dog, the people who worked on the Crash trilogy are not the same at all as the ones who worked on TLOU pt 1 & 2; brand name remains but devs change, follow the people not the brand name.
@@JayRedGear you can still get the PS5 you, can play PlayStation 4 games on it which is an amazing feature. I can understand your disappointment as I was also thinking about buying the game as well.
You know, could they have at least made MJ likable? Thats my biggest issue. Shes insufferable and they way they try to make her cool and op is just cringe. I honestly try to figure out what Pete saw in this MJ to begin with. How come Miles or Pete don’t have a one shot stun gadet or something like she has either? How come Venom didn’t just kill her? When he had to issues trying to kill Peter or Miles? How is she able to tank a tendril shot from Venom and only be winded? This game was made for checkbox people.
My thoughts exactly, which is why MJ disgusted me from the first game. An average woman who is not built, agile, or talented in either combat or stealth charges into a mercenary base with zero plan. That is not bravery, strength, or independence. That is called stupid, reckless, and suicidal. I don't even understand why Spiderman bothers to tolerate her behavior instead of letting her die which is clearly her intention. I would say respect her decision and let her die.
the dude actually said "I don't care if we have to cut other stuff, we need to play as Mary Jane" is he nuts? My question is, what content did they cut for that? ANd was it originally gameplay for Black cat, and they just stuck Mary Jane in there?
@@BattleBladeWarriorMy question is: how people can still defend this guy? He wanted to put content in the game that people hate on purpose and people still shill for Sony! Like fuck off mfs! 😂
@@nkcgamer115maybe but she's a capable fighter but they chose mj because they wanted to push an agenda and give the finger to the ppl who didn't like the mj missions in the first game
I’m not a huge Spider-Man fan or anything but doesn’t making MJ an overly capable character sort of detract from the character of Spider-Man? Isn’t one of the caveats of being a hero with a secret identity that if the villain finds out about Peter/Miles’ loved ones then being Spider-Man puts them in jeopardy? Seems to me that Spider-Man doesn’t have to consider the morally gray choice of bringing civilians into his life since they can beat up thugs and organized crime syndicates with a wave of their hand.
Exactly, I'm not against playing as other characters in of itself but when the director admits MJ was shoehorned into stuff, taking time away from Peter, Miles and even freaking *Venom!* especially when they got Tony Todd to voice him. Yeah I have a problem...
true , with civilian MJ as example it would seem most civilian (female i guess) are OP , that would trivialize the existence of spiderman and black spiderman , or heck every super hero , what use is a superhero if a normal female civilian is more powerful than them ? just have those girls be the police and no bad guy will dare to even leave their house , it will be feminist wet dream .😂 the dev of spiderman 2 is actually undermined the existence of spiderman ironically .
Im at the final Mary Jane mission at the end and I just can't. The horrible dialog..."We're Spider friends now." This game is over flowing with Moist Moments😮
@@SonDeku-y5xits debatable, seeing as nioh was ps4 gen (my favourite game), but my ps3 hasnt been unplugged in years, i play it all the time my shelf has like 5 dozen games i absolutely love
"I don't care, we'll cut other stuff." This a another huge problem we have with this ideology crap. People say why do you care so much? Well first off, you seem to care a lot so seems a little hypocritical for you to ask that. Secondly, this is why. They will divert other time and resources from the game to pander to this crap. They will cut content out of the game just so they can make missions where two men ask each other out to prom. These people will justify this nonsense. Like is this a video game with good gameplay and maybe some subtle story telling and nuance, or is it outright political messaging to tease and make fun of people that disagree with you by wasting their time and ruining their favorite IPs.
What is worst is not the part when you play MJ it when she "transform" .. When Peter wears the venom costume he is the bad guy but when MJ is under the venom influence her complaints was right and peter have to apologize... That was very disturbing
@@-pressxtostart-if they do that then the Spider-Man series will end, and the Spider-Verse and the Insomniac Marvel Universe will be further explored with different characters such as Miles Morales, Silk, Wolverine, and more. Peter will probably stay, but too many games to one character is not good, as they need to end somewhere and take a back seat, or future writers or stories may ruin what the original was by creating it in their own new image or vision.
Its quite funny, from the way people are saying that the story is worse, gameplay elements and other decisions being questionable and such. And don't forget about the supposed "gliding" mechanic that instead of just gliding, you're actually flying instead.
@@TheBatman39it's similar to the abilities in web of shadows. wish he had different attack animation to go along with the suit outside of rage mode though.
It’s funny how like you said, you’re basically flying when you’re gliding until at some point out of nowhere, the game remembers that you’re gliding and not flying and so, you just begin to dramatically lose altitude and speed out of nowhere. It’s weird
I just worry what they'll do to Wolverine, the X-Men were already an allegory to "woke" points of view, but were made pretty well. Insomniac is gonna go so overboard with this, I know it.
Maybe it's just me, but as a black kid with a hispanic parent, I don't feel properly represented by Miles Morales at all. If that was ever the goal of Miles Morales, they dropped the ball pretty hard with me. Idk how a mild mannered scientist in his mid-30s has more personality and charisma than an afro-latino teen from Brooklyn but this game proved it was possible.
Really I don't know dude I feel like miles has a way more charisma and the games and of course in the spider verse maybe it's just the personal biased thing you have since now no maybe you and hes the only Spider-Man you accept @kjk607
I think insomniacs just using miles's character to push more of the diversity/ equality woke bullcrap into these games. I like miles as a character but insomniacs just ruining him ESPECIALLY with the quests and the final suit they forcefully made him wear at the end of the game
@@lololazure bro I know white kids that I relate to more than Miles Morales. I understand Peter being this soft hippie-esque dude but Miles being a bohemian flower child from Brooklyn is just funny to me.
@@kingj9664 they kinda do though, what says anything about being spiderman that has to deal with helping a guy ask another guy to home-coming? Or to make a relationship forced between him and a deaf girl. Cmon bro. Miles deserves better than what insomniac pulled, you know it. He lives in the shadow of peter, literally... and now insomniac wants to replace peter.
I was so pissed off and uninterested while playing the majority of this game that I wanted to stop playing altogether. But I had paid (wasted) good money for it and so saw it through to the end. But my God it was a slog to get through.
It kind of scares me of what they will do with the 3rd game. Obviously the green goblin will be the main villain but I am not sure if they can handle the dynamic between peter and norman. Cutting out stuff like Venom, possibly carnage and more Black Suit spider-man for mj to one shot many trained soldiers seems like a very bad move. If they needed a female/different perspective they should have used black cat for stealth missions. She can fight and make more sense for her to do it. She can even team up with mj and you could have mj wear a black cat tech suit to give her an edge as well.
Knowing them, they would make the interaction between Green Goblin and Spooderman somehow a one sided Gay villain obsession with spiderman. Just wtf levels of nonsense. These devs seem like they are toxic enough to do it, just to throw middle fingers at people who actually play games.
I’m a black dude right, I do think black history is important and the black youth should learn about the history of successful/influential black figures but not in a Spiderman game lol. This woke stuff is ruining what video games are supposed to be.
The dude knew fans hated the MJ missions, so decided to model her on his office crash and make more mission to say f**k you to the gamers. They should have just made a f**king Mary Jane game. So glad they didn't get my money.
@@NetBattler off course he did. He basically said what we all know. Take something people like and INJECT stuff in to it they dont. Been happening across the entire board of media. This is why there are hardly ANY NEW properties. They are too lazy. They rather hijack stuff that already has fan bases and try to force feed their BS to people who are fine with their meal to begin with. These f**king inflators are like cockroaches. They dont build there own stuff for their crowd because they don't really care about them, because they already think like them. Its about trying to get the rest.
If some girl with no training, no powers, and no experience can get you through the toughest mission, then what is the point of having the super heroes? Miles gets his own game, but actual spiderman has to share his game with at least four other characters for more than half the game. I get giving you the option to play as the others in certain parts, but you have no option to play as the titular character for half the freaking game
@@0N0B_0 the point is to not play a terrible game full of woketard propaganda. Mj still isnt a superhero with powers, so anyone can train off screen and dominate villains? Why have superheroes at all?
@@0N0B_0Oh sure, MJ got all of this background training that doesn't get explained or shown in a cutscene/gameplay, so we don't actually know how much she actually learn and capable of but since MJ is sooo good, she can go solo into venom infested nest without any help. If she is that good then why she doesn't just keep training and honing her "skill" then? She could actually get alot of potential with all of that feats and get a good paying job or heck maybe be a superhero herself since she is sooo tough and badass and wants to help other poeple. why would she go back to her bad paying and clearly hard reporter job again? Oh i know why, cause the story, the pacing and the "power up" doesn't make any sense at all. Almost like the lead writer is terrible at her job and self inserted a low quality self insert into the story.
Another problem that maybe is loosely tied to this problem is their inclusion of cindy moon in the last cutscene where she meets miles and his family, Now I don’t think this can work at all because balancing three protagonists is a hell of a job and they will probably drop the ball with either miles or Peter to give cindy more spotlight which could make the third game kinda depressing
@@Elto_Gamingdon’t two of the three characters die over the course of the game? Plus a GTA game is a very different kind of game compared to a Spider-Man game. Even with just Peter and Miles, it was clear that they were struggling with balancing and keeping both relevant in this game. So it’ll become a balancing nightmare if they really try to make it Peter, Miles, and Cindy
@@wizardwolf1020 I think miles and Cindy will be first and foremost at the first quarter, around the same it took for Peter to get the symbiote, (if the game is longer than the first two then hopefully we get even more screen time with them two) then goblin or carnage will appear to draw Peter out for the remaining 60-70%. I guess Cindy doesn’t even have to be a spider character
@@Elto_Gaming but she’s introduced as a spider character. Her whole thing is that she’s literally the other person bitten by the same spider that bit Peter on the same day. I just fear that this is all to set up Cindy replacing Peter. She’s basically got the same powers except she has organic webs with greater control over them (which is kind of bs because again. Bitten by the same exact spider as Peter, on the same day, after Peter was bitten, and yet somehow got more powers than him)
@@wizardwolf1020 well I don’t mind if she takes over as long as Peter has a proper conclusion and end game. If his story ends at spider man 2 then there’s a problem. I’m probably in the minority. Don’t know how she’d get her powers. Insomniac is known to change the source material so Cindy doesn’t have to be a spider character but we’ll see
Escapism is dead. Earlier we used to turn to videogames,movies etc to escape everyday real life, our daily struggles, all the politics & noise around us. We used to play videogames to enter this magical fantasy world that was very different from our shitty world so we forgot about our world. But now, we can't escape it anymore. We pay $70 to companies not to escape reality, but to be lectured by them & get more politics & propaganda shoved down our throats as if we don't get enough as it is in real life. Dude I am THIS close to selling my PS5 & breaking all ties with Sony 🤏 This isn't the first time Sony has done this woke nonsense & this won't be the last time. TLOU2, Horizon Burning Shores, GOWR all their recent games are woke. I wont be surprised if this is their new modus operandi this generation(making all AAA PS exclusives woke af & propaganda heavy) For me a game can be a 10/10 in terms of graphics,performance,fidelity, gameplay etc & the studios/devs who created it can be highly talented but what I can't tolerate as a consumer is propaganda & lectures by a corporate especially when I'm the one paying them $70. It's better if I just moved to indie space & game on my PC. Not just Sony games but every AAA games these days have this woke nonsense. AAA games are just not worth it anymore. I am not from US or Europe. I'm from a part of the world where $70 is a lot of money. We wait 5 years for these big AAA games, spend so much money after saving for months & what do we get? We get lectures & we get boring repetitive movie type simulators where half the game is cutscenes & other half is a checklist of collecting useless items. And other AAA games not published by Sony are broken mess. You pay $70 to get bugs,glitches & apology from game devs that the AAA game is unplayable on day one. So why shouldn't I or anyone move to indie space? Indie games dont have woke BS & virtue signalling. They are much more cheaper than your average AAA game. They don't have microtransactions, battlepasses, liveservice BS. And above all they are creative original ideas. They are made by creative passionate individuals, not greedy soul less corporates who want to sell as many copies as possible & pander to casual gamers & woke crowd. They are not repetitive movie simulators using the same tried & tested formulas over & over again in all their games. Modern AAA games are so big budget that they don't innovate & take risks simply cuz a lot of money is invested into them & they can't afford to fail. Since they dont innovate & take risks, they are all stale & boring in essence. Indie & AA space is where "real gaming" is. The kind of gaming we all grew up with. The gaming that is about enjoyment, not pandering to sell most amounts of copies
@@michaelknox3715wow, doesnt even have the brain capacity to read a single page of papers worth of text yet must make sure you know their opinion before they leave. Hey dont let MJ dominate you on the way out, go buy a diary and cry in it
The fact that they have Peter stop being spiderman to go fight climate change it's like bruh did you copy that corny ass shit right out of the black rock guidebook?
Crazy how they’d rather cater to progressive journalists rather the people actually buying and playing their games. I bet they’ll make more MJ segments that will take up 30% of the next game. What a mess.
This creative director of spider-man 2, what was he thinking? "You dont need powers to be a hero" like we dont know that already. Police officers, firefighters, civillians have saved lives everyday without "powers" and we know this. So why do we need this reminder in a SPIDER-MAN game thats literally in fiction? Like what is he thinking?
I recently went back to batman Arkham city and it is crazy how much better it is than spider man. The mood that the world and the music creates is awesome.The game lets you get immersed without constant political messaging. You feel powerful in a super hero game. What a revolutionary concept.
maybe I am bitter as vinegar but the "feelgood" scenes of sm1 (even though I like it) and SM2 I cant stand them, i love the gloomy vibe of the arkham games
@@fnspidey3825 you're missing the whole point... When the last Arkham game came out .. it came out with problems.. especially for PC. We live in the time where people are comparing games that had multiple updates of improvement. I remember when GTA v came out... For the Xbox 360 in a PS3 it was a buggy mess that ran well. People were so happy that they got a GTA v that they ignored the issues.. kind of like Bethesda with Skyrim... When it released back on to the PS4 they start giving it updates to improve it. What I'm saying is if you're going to make a comparison compare the game when it first came out versus the updates.. because we all know if Spider-Man have multiple updates in the future it's going to be a completely different game... So make a comparison on a fair ground.. otherwise it comes off bias. That's like comparing a bodybuilder who's been doing it for years versus someone that's only been doing it for a month
And yet Sony fanboys will always defend the game no matter how disappointing it was. The people said no normal human missions. And yet Insomniac/Sony pretended they didn't hear nothing. So Spider-Man must struggle with enemies while MJ doesn't need to struggle a normal human not struggling at all.
The problem, in the Western part of game dev especially, is that people like the guy in this video are former game 'journalists.' They're not really creators.
Prototype 1 and 2 are on sale on the playstation store for like £3 each I highly recommend it for people who want an actual fun game for less than a quarter of the price of Spiderman 2 and it offers 10x the value imo Arkham games are under £10 too definitely worth trying only down side is Arkham city/asylum are only 30fps on console
So basically the ugly lady didn't want her facial capture cut from the game. That's what it boils down to. You cut her out and she complains to social media and gets you cancelled. MJ isn't the tomb raider. She's not a hero. Her job is to look pretty, and she failed.
I really liked the first game and was very excited at what they could do to add to the second game especially with Venom. This has really lowered my expectations.
I'd respect Insomniac more if they made a game dedicated to just playing as Mary Jane. That's them proving a point that they fully believe in women's empowerment, that she's not only a Damsel in distress but a strong independent woman. Of course, no one would buy it, not even the girl-gamers because EVERYONE LIKES TO PLAY AS SPIDERMAN. Moreover, everyone wants to play as the real SpiderMan - Peter Parker, and not some shoe-in for diversity quotas.
After getting the platinum...I seriously dislike this game. The MJ missions were terrible. Multiple missions riding a garbage bicycle. You play as a deaf chick for some reason. Heck half of the main missions were just walking around...NOT AS SPIDER-MAN! I've lost all excitement for Wolverine. I'm glad it didn't win anyway GOTY awards.
When I heard that the director didn’t have any game dev experience and was a former journalist, I immediately understood why I didn’t like Spider-Man 2 as much as 2018 and Miles Morales.
@@daRealB-Rex how so, the game is fundamentally still like the first game but much improved, the mj missions are improved, the puzzles are improved and side missions are improved.
@@daRealB-Rex and also griffin making it seem like Bryan intihar said to only play the homecoming mission and that’s absolutely false😂 HE SAID TO PLAY ALL THE MISSIONS WITHIN THE FNSA.

How come the user score is 9.1 out of ten and currently sitting at a 90 overall score. And how come the majority of reviews are great. Yes they have diverse shit WITHIN THE OPEN WORLD. But that’s how New York is. And their job is to make an accurate REPRESENTATION of that city.
@@tjperkins7750 they didn’t have the same identity politics in 2018. Idc if the MJ missions are “improved”, I still didn’t like them and would rather just play as SPIDER-MAN in a SPIDER-MAN game.
Personally, I'm enjoying the game overall (gameplay wise, that is). However, the MJ missions I could have done without because they weren't any better this time around either. There were a couple of story missions that I thought went on a little too long, and definitely, the boss fights were WAY too long. But yeah, the first one and Miles Morales stories were better.
it's the Gearbox "Borderlands" situation all over again: Just bring out the 3rd game so I can finish the trilogy and never touch a game from this developer ever again.....
Honestly, the only Mary Jane mission that's justified in the story is the one where sir. You're trying to get through the Peter. When he's unconscious and the symbio is going crazy That was actually really fun
i was going to buy a ps5 the other day for my birthday, then i thought to myself what do i want more a ps5, where only a small number of the exclusives i like will be, or a meta quest 3, which i play more. it was a no brainier and i am glad i decided on the meta.
Kept MJ missions because getting rid of them would be taking the easy way out but switched out police missions for firefighter missions after people complained about helping the police.
He just openly admitted to pushing an agenda instead of creating more fun for the player. THEY KNOW people don't like these missions, and they literally do not care.
I’m going to be honest this was one of the very few games I was excited about for this year. But thank god I decided to wait for reviews. And all I gotta say is thank you griffin you save me $70. This game all it is a woke piece of shit that focus on all the wrong things. Even my cousin a die hard PlayStation guy and a Spider-Man fan hated what they did. He gave it a 6/10 being bias. If that doesn’t tell you something idk will. Me personally I’m little by little is moving away from gaming . I have a wife and family I need to take care of. I went from a hardcore gamer to the super casual gamer. Just give me cod on game pass and I’m happy.
Me when I'm a grown man and only listen to what other men tell me to do online. Why can't mfs think for themselves now in this current Era? You saw one clip, about one part of the game. You just needed a reason to complain about politics lmfao. Go to sleep bro.
There wasn't two Spider-Men. There was one and Miles Morales. And Miles could have taken a hike too. This is the best Peter Parker we've gotten outside of the original comics and we have to keep getting pulled away to play woke boy sidekick. I'd take an extra three or four MJ missions if it meant no more Spider-Token.
Gaming is mainstream. Gameplay is and has become irrelevant and no longer the focus of games! 2.5 million copies in 24 hours, of course they wouldn't give a fuck about what the fans want with those numbers😏
Remember how the MCU started and where it is now. It will be harder because gaming is easier to access but eventually casuals will stop buying games for 70-80 dollars. It always the same story. They cater to casuals and shills but shills don’t care about these hobbies and will bale the ship after their ruined the hobby.
Come on !, they could of use Black Cat or even Silver Sable if they wanted both could of been way more entertaining and useful for those kind of mission. Hell for the heck of it they could of used Yuri she is a cop she can do those kind of mission it would of made more sense.
Mj was in symkaria for months and learned skills from sable. She’s actually a important character to Peter Parker’s story. Not black cat. Not sable. Yuri is a anti hero she kills people and she wouldn’t even be a viable character to play as. Like what. She doesn’t even hold a importance in the main story. In the DLC hopefully but cmon bruh stop thinking about what you’d rather want and think about what makes more sense for story and main characters involved
I don’t enjoy the MJ mission at all. I only like Peter’s mission and some of the Miles mission. This game is called Spiderman 2, NOT MJ 2!!!! F this creator director. MJ I. Spidey 2 is ugly AS F too.
Modern gaming lowkey making me want to find a new hobby.
Drop a like if you enjoyed 🙏🏿
Same here lol
I like Minecraft
Black emoji hands are you of the burnt toast variety griffin?
Yep i stopped watching new movies because of this garbage soon video games also 😂
It's time to become a retro gamer.
It's absolutely insane that they could have had Silver Sable, Black Cat, or Yuri be playable in the game but instead they went with MJ. You have three notable female characters who are competent fighters that people would be excited to play as yet they chose the one who is just a civilian and needed to have reality bend around her to make her OP by their own admission.
But common sense is too much for the crazy devs to realize.
Hell, both Yuri and Black Cat are in the game.
There was no excuse not to use them, especially if they wanted female characters to play as opposed to MJ.
They aren’t important in the grand scheme of things in the story. Sable is dealing with shit symkaria. Black cat is dealing with her own shit. Yuri is a side character u get to team up with in the flame missions. She’s a anti hero and it isn’t a wraith game would you wanna okay as someone who isn’t even a main protagonist. Never was. Y’all complain about the dumbest things. Mj is actually a character that makes sense to play as. And it’s only 3 missions and they’re actually fun this time around.
They know full well they could've used those characters but they purposely didn't cause the fans complained the last time so they did out of spite. I can't stand them tbh. The wokes are purposely destroying everything we love. Basically everything they do fails but they do it anyway. They'd blow the world up if a studio put the national anthem or a prayer in a video game. They'd burn down a mall if that happened.
@@PlushiePenguthe flame missions are important, we could’ve got a flash back playing as yuri when she first met Cassidy and have us fight him
Just a reminder: they cut Venom, Black Suit, Normal Spiderman and Miles parts POSSIBLY Carnage for more walkie talkie virtu signalling and Mary Jane missions. These devs are disgusting.
They cut the part that was marketed in the CG trailer and a Venom chase mission. I know they don’t care but this is the last Sony exclusive I bought. Had enough of their crap.
But I thought anything that’s shown in a cg trailer isnt supposed to be in the game?correct me If I’m wrong.

Her sections in the first game were dog shit too.
So many unnecessary mechanics, assets and etc used just so they could feed you multiple hours of this god awful content that is just illusion of playing a game. It could have been used to polish the game or add meaningful content. You can remove all the gameplay with MJ and you will not lose anything. Probably even make game more enjoyable.

I'd be very interested to see how many people who worked on the Spyro games are still working in Insomniac & have worked on SM2, same thing with Naughty

You know, could they have at least made MJ likable? Thats my biggest issue. Shes insufferable and they way they try to make her cool and op is just cringe. I honestly try to figure out what Pete saw in this MJ to begin with. How come Miles or Pete don’t have a one shot stun gadet or something like she has either? How come Venom didn’t just kill her? When he had to issues trying to kill Peter or Miles? How is she able to tank a tendril shot from Venom and only be winded?
This game was made for checkbox people.
My thoughts exactly, which is why MJ disgusted me from the first game. An average woman who is not built, agile, or talented in either combat or stealth charges into a mercenary base with zero plan. That is not bravery, strength, or independence. That is called stupid, reckless, and suicidal. I don't even understand why Spiderman bothers to tolerate her behavior instead of letting her die which is clearly her intention. I would say respect her decision and let her die.
These people literally can't get out of their own way. The game could've been so much better 😮💨

This extends far beyond just Spiderman 2.
I’m not a huge Spider-Man fan or anything but doesn’t making MJ an overly capable character sort of detract from the character of Spider-Man? Isn’t one of the caveats of being a hero with a secret identity that if the villain finds out about Peter/Miles’ loved ones then being Spider-Man puts them in jeopardy?
Seems to me that Spider-Man doesn’t have to consider the morally gray choice of bringing civilians into his life since they can beat up thugs and organized crime syndicates with a wave of their hand.
Exactly, I'm not against playing as other characters in of itself but when the director admits MJ was shoehorned into stuff, taking time away from Peter, Miles and even freaking *Venom!* especially when they got Tony Todd to voice him.
Yeah I have a problem...
true , with civilian MJ as example it would seem most civilian (female i guess) are OP , that would trivialize the existence of spiderman and black spiderman , or heck every super hero , what use is a superhero if a normal female civilian is more powerful than them ?
just have those girls be the police and no bad guy will dare to even leave their house , it will be feminist wet dream .😂
the dev of spiderman 2 is actually undermined the existence of spiderman ironically .
Did he actually say that they CUT Spider-Man CONTENT just so MJ can be "overpowered"?

"I don't care, we'll cut other stuff." This a another huge problem we have with this ideology crap. People say why do you care so much? Well first off, you seem to care a lot so seems a little hypocritical for you to ask that. Secondly, this is why. They will divert other time and resources from the game to pander to this crap. They will cut content out of the game just so they can make missions where two men ask each other out to prom. These people will justify this nonsense. Like is this a video game with good gameplay and maybe some subtle story telling and nuance, or is it outright political messaging to tease and make fun of people that disagree with you by wasting their time and ruining their favorite IPs.
What is worst is not the part when you play MJ it when she "transform" .. When Peter wears the venom costume he is the bad guy but when MJ is under the venom influence her complaints was right and peter have to apologize...

It kind of scares me of what they will do with the 3rd game. Obviously the green goblin will be the main villain but I am not sure if they can handle the dynamic between peter and norman. Cutting out stuff like Venom, possibly carnage and more Black Suit spider-man for mj to one shot many trained soldiers seems like a very bad move. If they needed a female/different perspective they should have used black cat for stealth missions. She can fight and make more sense for her to do it. She can even team up with mj and you could have mj wear a black cat tech suit to give her an edge as well.

@@0N0B_0 the point is to not play a terrible game full of woketard propaganda. Mj still isnt a superhero with powers, so anyone can train off screen and dominate villains? Why have superheroes at all?
@@0N0B_0Oh sure, MJ got all of this background training that doesn't get explained or shown in a cutscene/gameplay, so we don't actually know how much she actually learn and capable of but since MJ is sooo good, she can go solo into venom infested nest without any help.
If she is that good then why she doesn't just keep training and honing her "skill" then? She could actually get alot of potential with all of that feats and get a good paying job or heck maybe be a superhero herself since she is sooo tough and badass and wants to help other poeple. why would she go back to her bad paying and clearly hard reporter job again?

Another problem that maybe is loosely tied to this problem is their inclusion of cindy moon in the last cutscene where she meets miles and his family,
Now I don’t think this can work at all because balancing three protagonists is a hell of a job and they will probably drop the ball with either miles or Peter to give cindy more spotlight which could make the third game kinda depressing
GTA V did it so maybe it’s possible?
@@Elto_Gamingdon’t two of the three characters die over the course of the game? Plus a GTA game is a very different kind of game compared to a Spider-Man game. Even with just Peter and Miles, it was clear that they were struggling with balancing and keeping both relevant in this game. So it’ll become a balancing nightmare if they really try to make it Peter, Miles, and Cindy
@@wizardwolf1020 I think miles and Cindy will be first and foremost at the first quarter, around the same it took for Peter to get the symbiote, (if the game is longer than the first two then hopefully we get even more screen time with them two) then goblin or carnage will appear to draw Peter out for the remaining 60-70%. I guess Cindy doesn’t even have to be a spider character
@@Elto_Gaming but she’s introduced as a spider character. Her whole thing is that she’s literally the other person bitten by the same spider that bit Peter on the same day. I just fear that this is all to set up Cindy replacing Peter. She’s basically got the same powers except she has organic webs with greater control over them (which is kind of bs because again. Bitten by the same exact spider as Peter, on the same day, after Peter was bitten, and yet somehow got more powers than him)
@@wizardwolf1020 well I don’t mind if she takes over as long as Peter has a proper conclusion and end game. If his story ends at spider man 2 then there’s a problem. I’m probably in the minority. Don’t know how she’d get her powers. Insomniac is known to change the source material so Cindy doesn’t have to be a spider character but we’ll see

For me a game can be a 10/10 in terms of graphics,performance,fidelity, gameplay etc & the studios/devs who created it can be highly talented but what I can't tolerate as a consumer is propaganda & lectures by a corporate especially when I'm the one paying them $70. It's better if I just moved to indie space & game on my PC.
Not just Sony games but every AAA games these days have this woke nonsense. AAA games are just not worth it anymore. I am not from US or Europe. I'm from a part of the world where $70 is a lot of money. We wait 5 years for these big AAA games, spend so much money after saving for months & what do we get? We get lectures & we get boring repetitive movie type simulators where half the game is cutscenes & other half is a checklist of collecting useless items. And other AAA games not published by Sony are broken mess. You pay $70 to get bugs,glitches & apology from game devs that the AAA game is unplayable on day one.
So why shouldn't I or anyone move to indie space? Indie games dont have woke BS & virtue signalling. They are much more cheaper than your average AAA game. They don't have microtransactions, battlepasses, liveservice BS. And above all they are creative original ideas. They are made by creative passionate individuals, not greedy soul less corporates who want to sell as many copies as possible & pander to casual gamers & woke crowd. They are not repetitive movie simulators using the same tried & tested formulas over & over again in all their games. Modern AAA games are so big budget that they don't innovate & take risks simply cuz a lot of money is invested into them & they can't afford to fail. Since they dont innovate & take risks, they are all stale & boring in essence. Indie & AA space is where "real gaming" is. The kind of gaming we all grew up with. The gaming that is about enjoyment, not pandering to sell most amounts of copies
After Ragnarok, this was the last straw from Sony. I go to the gym and play old games instead.
Too long didn't read and don't care. Will buy and play what I like.
@@michaelknox3715wow, doesnt even have the brain capacity to read a single page of papers worth of text yet must make sure you know their opinion before they leave.
Hey dont let MJ dominate you on the way out, go buy a diary and cry in it
@@michaelknox3715then why are replying if you don't care?
The fact that they have Peter stop being spiderman to go fight climate change it's like bruh did you copy that corny ass shit right out of the black rock guidebook?
He was continuing him and harrys dream. You would know this if you actually watched or even played the game but you didnt. Loser
@@0N0B_0cope
We know you don't need powers to be a hero... We play games.... He must not know of any of them.
Crazy how they’d rather cater to progressive journalists rather the people actually buying and playing their games. I bet they’ll make more MJ segments that will take up 30% of the next game. What a mess.
all this social engineering makes me want to throw up
Bro really thinks that a random reporter can stealth kill armed soldiers that have military training. WTAF
Modern gaming is the reason why found a new hobby and started lifting.
This creative director of spider-man 2, what was he thinking? "You dont need powers to be a hero" like we dont know that already. Police officers, firefighters, civillians have saved lives everyday without "powers" and we know this. So why do we need this reminder in a SPIDER-MAN game thats literally in fiction? Like what is he thinking?
I recently went back to batman Arkham city and it is crazy how much better it is than spider man. The mood that the world and the music creates is awesome.The game lets you get immersed without constant political messaging. You feel powerful in a super hero game. What a revolutionary concept.
maybe I am bitter as vinegar but the "feelgood" scenes of sm1 (even though I like it) and SM2 I cant stand them, i love the gloomy vibe of the arkham games
Wow your Comparing a game that has multiple updates to improve the game compared to something that just came out.. smh
@@TreyeParkerThis is the dumbest thing I've read in ages
what's your point? Arkham came out complete unlike the crap you're talking about.@@TreyeParker
@@fnspidey3825 you're missing the whole point... When the last Arkham game came out
.. it came out with problems.. especially for PC. We live in the time where people are comparing games that had multiple updates of improvement. I remember when GTA v came out... For the Xbox 360 in a PS3 it was a buggy mess that ran well. People were so happy that they got a GTA v that they ignored the issues.. kind of like Bethesda with Skyrim... When it released back on to the PS4 they start giving it updates to improve it. What I'm saying is if you're going to make a comparison compare the game when it first came out versus the updates.. because we all know if Spider-Man have multiple updates in the future it's going to be a completely different game... So make a comparison on a fair ground.. otherwise it comes off bias. That's like comparing a bodybuilder who's been doing it for years versus someone that's only been doing it for a month
And yet Sony fanboys will always defend the game no matter how disappointing it was. The people said no normal human missions. And yet Insomniac/Sony pretended they didn't hear nothing. So Spider-Man must struggle with enemies while MJ doesn't need to struggle a normal human not struggling at all.
The problem, in the Western part of game dev especially, is that people like the guy in this video are former game 'journalists.' They're not really creators.
Prototype 1 and 2 are on sale on the playstation store for like £3 each I highly recommend it for people who want an actual fun game for less than a quarter of the price of Spiderman 2 and it offers 10x the value imo
Arkham games are under £10 too definitely worth trying only down side is Arkham city/asylum are only 30fps on console
i bought them both highly recommend it. Its what a future venom game should be
Bought them a couple of days ago out of the frustration of playing woke game
Sony fans next time want to defend video game companies remember this videos. Only money is important not you
So basically the ugly lady didn't want her facial capture cut from the game. That's what it boils down to. You cut her out and she complains to social media and gets you cancelled. MJ isn't the tomb raider. She's not a hero. Her job is to look pretty, and she failed.
That director needs one hell of a reality check in the form of sales tanking
These people need to realize that they are entertaining the masses and not themselves.
The best part of that Keemstar clip is he's 100% serious.
Nah that was an old skit he used to do but would be based af if true
@@GriffinGaming I know it was a skit, but I still think that's how he truly feels. lol
I originally didn’t mind her missions, but after hearing they cut other things , it pisses me off 🤦🏽♂️
Of course she got like 5 missions. 😂😂😂
"You don't need powers to be a hero, I wanted her to show that"
Batman: Am I a joke to you?
I really liked the first game and was very excited at what they could do to add to the second game especially with Venom. This has really lowered my expectations.
Glad to see you're hitting a good stride when it comes to making new content. Great vid 👌
I'd respect Insomniac more if they made a game dedicated to just playing as Mary Jane. That's them proving a point that they fully believe in women's empowerment, that she's not only a Damsel in distress but a strong independent woman. Of course, no one would buy it, not even the girl-gamers because EVERYONE LIKES TO PLAY AS SPIDERMAN. Moreover, everyone wants to play as the real SpiderMan - Peter Parker, and not some shoe-in for diversity quotas.
Mary Jane is OP? That's news to me, I thought her face was hit with the nerf bat.
After getting the platinum...I seriously dislike this game. The MJ missions were terrible. Multiple missions riding a garbage bicycle. You play as a deaf chick for some reason. Heck half of the main missions were just walking around...NOT AS SPIDER-MAN! I've lost all excitement for Wolverine. I'm glad it didn't win anyway GOTY awards.
Oh good lord… they are going to destroy Wolverine..
When I heard that the director didn’t have any game dev experience and was a former journalist, I immediately understood why I didn’t like Spider-Man 2 as much as 2018 and Miles Morales.
He’s the same director that MADE 2018 tf😂😂 this anti woke mob grasping for anything but all y’all doing is just looking ignorant
@@tjperkins7750 Those elements weren’t as prevalent in 2018
@@daRealB-Rex how so, the game is fundamentally still like the first game but much improved, the mj missions are improved, the puzzles are improved and side missions are improved.
@@daRealB-Rex and also griffin making it seem like Bryan intihar said to only play the homecoming mission and that’s absolutely false😂 HE SAID TO PLAY ALL THE MISSIONS WITHIN THE FNSA. So like I said, these TH-camrs do this type of shit to get attention. If the game was truly woke how come the user score for this game, which has a main audience of men. How come the user score is 9.1 out of ten and currently sitting at a 90 overall score. And how come the majority of reviews are great. Yes they have diverse shit WITHIN THE OPEN WORLD. But that’s how New York is. And their job is to make an accurate REPRESENTATION of that city.
@@tjperkins7750 they didn’t have the same identity politics in 2018. Idc if the MJ missions are “improved”, I still didn’t like them and would rather just play as SPIDER-MAN in a SPIDER-MAN game.
The gay mission is when I stopped play the game. Absolutely too woke for me.
Does the mere existence of gay people hurt your feelings that much.
“Boo hoo there’s gay people in my video game” grow up.
Personally, I'm enjoying the game overall (gameplay wise, that is). However, the MJ missions I could have done without because they weren't any better this time around either. There were a couple of story missions that I thought went on a little too long, and definitely, the boss fights were WAY too long. But yeah, the first one and Miles Morales stories were better.
it's the Gearbox "Borderlands" situation all over again:
Just bring out the 3rd game so I can finish the trilogy and never touch a game from this developer ever again.....
MJ-Man making Peter and Miles look like chumps 💀
They ain’t gonna learn their lesson until we stop rewarding this crap with our cash!! it sucks but it has to be done
Honestly, the only Mary Jane mission that's justified in the story is the one where sir. You're trying to get through the Peter. When he's unconscious and the symbio is going crazy That was actually really fun
So we have a developer simping so hard for a girl writer that he single handedly almost sabotaged the entire game
i was going to buy a ps5 the other day for my birthday, then i thought to myself what do i want more a ps5, where only a small number of the exclusives i like will be, or a meta quest 3, which i play more. it was a no brainier and i am glad i decided on the meta.
the worst part is , its all performative they removed all lgbt flags in the arab versions
As they were required to do, just like the have to remove sex scenes and Anti Government lines of dialogue
Kept MJ missions because getting rid of them would be taking the easy way out but switched out police missions for firefighter missions after people complained about helping the police.
Oh my god that IGN guy sounds exactly like I’d expect someone saying that to sound
He just openly admitted to pushing an agenda instead of creating more fun for the player. THEY KNOW people don't like these missions, and they literally do not care.
I’m going to be honest this was one of the very few games I was excited about for this year. But thank god I decided to wait for reviews. And all I gotta say is thank you griffin you save me $70. This game all it is a woke piece of shit that focus on all the wrong things. Even my cousin a die hard PlayStation guy and a Spider-Man fan hated what they did. He gave it a 6/10 being bias. If that doesn’t tell you something idk will. Me personally I’m little by little is moving away from gaming . I have a wife and family I need to take care of. I went from a hardcore gamer to the super casual gamer. Just give me cod on game pass and I’m happy.
Stay hardcore
Me when I'm a grown man and only listen to what other men tell me to do online. Why can't mfs think for themselves now in this current Era? You saw one clip, about one part of the game. You just needed a reason to complain about politics lmfao. Go to sleep bro.
The reviews for spider man 2 have all been positive
Go retro. Play the classics. Or you can play modern classics if you like.
@@0N0B_0 yeah if you are looking at the PlayStation medias n fanboys reviews
There wasn't two Spider-Men. There was one and Miles Morales. And Miles could have taken a hike too. This is the best Peter Parker we've gotten outside of the original comics and we have to keep getting pulled away to play woke boy sidekick. I'd take an extra three or four MJ missions if it meant no more Spider-Token.
Cry😂😂
@@deadeye8007 why would i?
@@MrThademon cause ur complaining about playing as Spider-Man in a Spider-Man man game. Why is miles "Woke"? Cause he's black?
@@deadeye8007 and you can tell me why Miles is such a great character?
@@MrThademon play the game buddy
Gaming is mainstream. Gameplay is and has become irrelevant and no longer the focus of games! 2.5 million copies in 24 hours, of course they wouldn't give a fuck about what the fans want with those numbers😏
Remember how the MCU started and where it is now. It will be harder because gaming is easier to access but eventually casuals will stop buying games for 70-80 dollars. It always the same story. They cater to casuals and shills but shills don’t care about these hobbies and will bale the ship after their ruined the hobby.
@@rsmith8113it took almost a decade for people to realize this though
@@theretroshogun2961It will be perma death like MCU. It won’t be salvageable even after they start losing money.
The MJ mission at the end wouldve been okay if it was the only one in the game. Then itd be unique and its the best mission she has.
The worrying part are these trash devs are making a Wolverine game…
Come on !, they could of use Black Cat or even Silver Sable if they wanted both could of been way more entertaining and useful for those kind of mission. Hell for the heck of it they could of used Yuri she is a cop she can do those kind of mission it would of made more sense.
Mj was in symkaria for months and learned skills from sable. She’s actually a important character to Peter Parker’s story. Not black cat. Not sable. Yuri is a anti hero she kills people and she wouldn’t even be a viable character to play as. Like what. She doesn’t even hold a importance in the main story. In the DLC hopefully but cmon bruh stop thinking about what you’d rather want and think about what makes more sense for story and main characters involved
I don’t enjoy the MJ mission at all. I only like Peter’s mission and some of the Miles mission. This game is called Spiderman 2, NOT MJ 2!!!! F this creator director. MJ I. Spidey 2 is ugly AS F too.
we should be able to play as lois lane swapping printer ink cartridges at the daily planet in the next supes game y'all 🗣️
