What’s the discount code?
@@victorrioichi59 Don't buy it.
It's clunky, unbalanced, and unresponsive feeling.
Overall just bad design.
Read the Steam reviews before buying.
I got suckered and refunded 30 minutes after buying.
This game is awful. Shame on you for promoting it.
Make a vid about the batman games
Legitimately my only issue with the game was that the story could’ve used more time to cook (give Harry/Venom more story, and give Miles and Harry a better relationship being the biggest issues) and slightly better writing during all symbiote suit/ Venom sections
When the only main issue people can think of is “we want more!” Ya know insomniac did an amazing job!
@@NuggetGX it’s funny how the main complaint of spider man ps4 was “too much” and now with spider man 2 ps5 it’s “not enough”. Insomniac really does listen to their fans when the complaints are just asking for minor fixes
@@masterpiece8846 yeah, there an amazing studio! So unfortunate to see how there being treated by everybody!
I completely agree. I wish we could've learned more of venom's character. I also wish the third act took its time a little more to let us take everything in.
@@JustanotherNPC8454the third act blew. Venom just popped up and said “I’m gonna take over the world muahahaha” (not really but you get the point.) It was just boss fight after boss fight and obligatory “oh no is Harry going to die this is so sad everyone is crying moment” which was done way better in the first game with aunt may.
That ending montage is peak.
The music. The lines. The visuals.
Well done Alex!!
WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT!!!
I didn’t know there were bears in these woods
@@seeanboyo5016 OK, before we get down to business there's something I have to tell you..
@@chadvaldesjr1581*looks at axe contemplating to get hit for the joke* im fresh out of honey.
I got goosebumps
Glad to see a review that isn’t totally shitting on Spider-Man 2, but instead acknowledging its flaws while also acknowledging that the game is overall fantastic. We all know the game has undeniable problems, but I love it despite its flaws.
I’m saying
That’s what I’m saying. It’s not perfect, nothing ever really is, but it’s still an amazing game.
@@Multi-fandomEldingArum agreed. And while I agree with some of the criticisms and complaints, ppl are dragging the game
Flaws?
Complete Opposite.
Far too many people BLINDLY praising this game.
It's nice to see people openly acknowledge the many flaws with the game
Insomniac actually already spoke about the reason the ending feels so rushed. They said it was because they did not have enough time to finalize the 3rd act they initially wanted to have, so probably if the game were delayed it could have been even better.
Do you think they might reboot Spiderman 2? so they can do everything they wanted to do but could not because everybody was losing their minds and Insomniac was being rushed??
@@josephbradley4002 probably not
@kangrooo yea you right especially since they came out with that update that made the play smoother than before and people still bitch...it's like stfu and play the game or nah, nobody cares..
This is a very well made video, especially how you ran it back to aunt may telling Pete about "balance" and showing all the loving momments everyone has with each and finishing it off with a Cherry on Top editing 👌
finally glad to see people talk about insomniac in a good way. the forced hate on twitter is annoying
Fax
This is Adum from YMS’s fault
@@comixproviderftw_02 and other people aswell
Right
I will admit I have my problems with this game but people are hating this game like it’s the worst thing ever
I wish that insomniac had been able to flesh out the sorry. The Gameplay is so damned good that if the story and writing had been better it would honestly be in my top 3 games of all time.
Whatever your toughts on the second game. I think we can all agree that it has, by far THE BEST versions of Kraven and Harry.
Disagree
Sadly a lot of people shit on them too
@@TheTom20Every time I hear people shit on kraven, it's obvious that they just didn't pay attention to the story.
The line “I will die ROARING!” is always chilling. Jim Pirri (not sure if I spelt that correctly) made a great role perfect.
@@JustanotherNPC8454Exactly. Kraven to me has always been one of my favourite Spiderman villains for how wildly unique he was compared to the other villains who were super powered failed experiments, but Kraven was just a highly skilled hunter and apart from some potions he was all man and had no superpowers yet gave Spider-man a really hard time. Spiderman 2 PS5 gave us possibly the best take on the villain as he truly set a new bar for the character and made him both menacing and cunning with sheer strength and tactics becoming an absolute menace which I love to see. Jim Perri did an outstanding job as the character
Excellent video! I honestly think I feel the same way as you, even though Spider-Man 2 has its problems, it's still one of the best Spider-Man games, the love that insomniac feels for the character is really incredible and beautiful to look at and the game really is made by fan for fan, I'm very excited for the sequel!
This game is my personal favourite game of the year. And yet, it isn’t perfect. It could have done with maybe three or four more hours of story, flesh out the black suit story and make Venom a deeper villain.
This game is perfect, but one thing infuriates me. You need full energy to heal. In the other games you could heal anytime. And this has cost me so many deaths istg
I’d argue it being easier to fill the energy bar makes up for it but yeah I agree they shouldn’t have taken that out
You know its a good day when Alex Webb uploads
His uploads make my hairline grow back
Finally. Someone online who actually likes spider-man 2
theres a lot, but i get what you mean lol
@@YousefMohamedAbdulMoniem oh yeah there's definitely a few. But not enough. People have turned on this game so much. It's very annoying. All these people who are just needlessly complaining about made up things.
I get what you mean bro
@@NYCWALLCRAWLER491 Because it's generally disappointing when compared to the previous 2. The story is hella convoluted, throwing a lot of things to the side like Harry and Miles
@@NYCWALLCRAWLER491it’s called bandwagon hate. People unfortunately do this and are trend hoppers and try so hard to be different knowing damn well they love the game. People just hate or say more harsh things on the internet more than they do irl because when it comes to the internet, you’re anonymous and your face and personal life, including your address can’t be identified. So you can basically get away with anything you say on social media and people take advantage of that to say negative/harsh things.
It felt as though the story took its time in the beginning of the game, but as the story progressed, it became much for fast-paced.
You’re really knocking it out of the park with these last few videos bud. Really getting your style down. Keep it up!
The outro of this video is a masterpiece, I really enjoyed Spider-Man 2 and I think Venom is a great villain when he possesses both Peter and Harry, corrupting their minds, and being a lot more violent.
I'm always so excited when you upload a video, I really like your funny spider man essays, I was born 2009 so I was too young to see Tobey Maguire, but when I got older and figured out there was a spider man 2 game, man those were good times, now Tobey Maguire is my favorite spider man.
I loved insomniac Spider-Man it’s really awesome and as a huge fan of Spider-Man and his supporting cast this game has given me everything I ever wanted which I approve at least in my opinion.
You were 6? I was 17, and working at EB Games, first game I bought myself working there on my new SLIM Ps2. Now we're here. Thank you for your videos, they really are great.
That final note with Balance at the end was straight poetry. Another banger Alex.
I just wish this game didn't rush some of its points.
I personally loved the insomniac spider man games, I personally love spider man 2, at launch I didn’t run into any problems. My personal favourite game of 2023, baldur’s gate 3 is my 2nd favourite game this year
The story felt rushed but everything else felt amazing! Only ever crashed when pigeons spawned in though at insane speeds.
Yeah I really wanna see the cut content that Tony Todd was talking about. I mean one of the missions was supposed to have Peter and Miles fighting Venom in the middle of the day! You can’t tell me that wouldn’t have been awesome! How did that not meet standards?!
The copyright can't stop 19 inches
that ending had me feeling like i just watched the gameplay trailer for the first time
Despite how rushed the Venom arc seemed, the Kraven's Hunt arc more than made up for it, giving some of the best moments in the series.
I think my favorite part of Spider-Man 2 was when I sold it on Ebay immediately after I finished the main storyline. I will never understand how people can unironically shill for this game.
Not the place for this, I am afraid. Unless you want some ragebait.
Based.
I find it crazy that they made the fight between peter and miles literally ripped out of an anime fight
Ikr one of the reasons why I don't like Spiderman anymore is because him and the fandom are so "shonen-like"
(And the voice actor of Peter is the same one as Sasuke; a very annoying coincidence if you ask me)
@@TheBatman39 bros kryptonite is anime
@Ilovetoast72 Nah, I don't hate all of anime just shonen adaptations and weeb stuff. Animes like Berserk (not the one from 2016), Hellsing, Vinland Saga, Vampire Hunter D and Perfect Blue are absolute peak fiction.
@@TheBatman39 I mean Josh Keaton voiced Spider Man and Revolver Ocelot from a japanese created game does that mean Josh is in on the conspiracy too
@@Ilovetoast72Me:
Hilarious and well edited as always!
Ps. Those last 60 seconds were fire🔥
@@shibabiba The marketing for the second game was underwhelming honestly
Brilliant video, mate! While I don't think this blows the first game out of the water, it's still a ton of fun and I agree that another 5 hours would've been noice.
Holy crap I forgot about that Miles Morales Gamespot review. I'd heard about it from other youtubers, and when I went to check it out I was dying for 10 minutes.
feels like i had the opposite experience, every time I thought the story was about to end it kept going. I really enjoyed it and I think the side missions are amazing too. but i get where you're coming from, great video
First video of this channel… love the editing
Something feels off with the story of Spider Man 2 and how it doesn't blend together well.
Finally, some positivity. Been so tired of the way the fanbase has been dragging Insomniac through the mud.
Rightfully earned criticism.
leon took the award for most neccesary backflip from miles
amazingly well done video. talked about the ups and downs of a great game deserving all the love in the world
Insomniac: we save the spiderman game
Rocksteady: we save....no wait we killed the batman game
They didn’t kill the batman game they literally created it.
@@chandllerburse737 and then suicide squad kill the Justice League
@@hardcorejack4954 I dont acknowledge that shit the arkham games still exist and are the best.
@@chandllerburse737 me too
For me suicide squad kill the Justice League Is never the continue Canon of Batman Arkham
Insomniac Games carrying most of PS Studios with Spider-Man and Ratchet since Naughty Dog is busy between republishing TLOU for the xth time and licking Druckmann's butt.
I just want Sucker Punch to say something
@@chandllerburse737 They got sucker punched until Tsushima 2 sadly I guess......
Alex, homie- I know you didn't ask, but it's always nice to see your notification. BIG fan of your editing style and your accent. I've binged your channel a month ago and I was just patiently waiting for another upload. Awesome vid, definitely getting "Wanted:Dead." It looks badass
Bro, did everyone forget Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions? That game was amazing and playing with each spider-man felt special. Sure it's not open-world but the story and everything was so well put together. I also enjoyed the Amazing SM games, it had some great details where Spider-man would use his own web to heal himself like what actual spiders do. I didn't see what special thing Insomniac did, but after playing the first game on my pc, that game felt so good.
i honestly HATED playing as miles in the final bossfight he had no connection to harry whatsoever what made the final bossfight in the first game so good was the bond peter had with otto
Well he kinda did. Miles was the one who separated Peter from the symbiote and Peter was ignoring miles to focus on harry. There is also the slight jealousy Harry feels that leads him to claim that Peter just replaced him with miles.
@@Averagebasementman still didnt feel as impactful as having peter fight venom imo
@@pestenkeranii well yeah it ultimately is still peters story.
@@Averagebasementmanstill miles doesn't have any connections with harry. Harry just felt pushed to the side by peter..that's it
@@Averagebasementman thats not having a connection to Harry its having a connection to a mutual friend of Harry’s
I noticed you changed the thumbnail
Another banger video Alex. Hope you have a great new year 🥃
I feel like since they took so much from Last Hunt in the Kraven part of the story they should’ve had the Peter being buried in May’s grave part cuz he is still grieving her and it’d help with showing that it is justified to Peter becoming the best asshole ever so fast
That outro was 🔥🔥
It's amazing how Insomniac has made 2 Spiderman games and they're both positively recieved and now thanks to them we're getting more Marvel games. Hopefully the positive reception the game carries it over to future games. Pretty sure the Miles Morales game was developed by naughty dog and not Insomniac. Although feel like personally they should've waited for a future game or dlc expansion for the symbiote takeover to happen but feel like they were gonna do it similar to Mr Negative and Doc Ock one starts the game as the villain the first half then 2nd half the other one becomes the main villain. Don't know where I got Naughty Dog working on Miles Morales must've thought they worked on it while Insomniac worked on Rift Apart guess not or if they did help it was for smaller projects
Miles Morales is definitely also made by Insomniac not by Naughty Dog.
Whered you get naughty dog from😭
@@Epix8476 don't know but could've sworn they worked on Miles Morales with Insomniac during that time would've been too busy with Ratchet and Clank but got Miles Morales recently and apparently not thought they did though must've been halft of the studio worked on Rift Apart while the other half worked on Miles Morales
You had to be joking about naughty dog right? It was insomniac
Bro wtf would naughty dog be doin w insomniac miles. They’re focusing on other sht
You have the highest quality footage of spiderman 2 for the PS2 I have ever seen in a video I swear
Man.
I don't usually comment on videos, i've been watching you for quite some time now and i REALLY love how your videos are made, the pace the jokes and how you tell your opinions on the games, this one was really one of the best i've seen, the last bit in a epic trailer style summary was awesome, thank you so much for all the content you make and I really am looking forward yo seeing your next piece of art.
Spiderman 2 is amazing. Simply amazing. Awesome game. I love it.
The third act was severely undercooked.
I wouldn't say serverely but it was a little rushed fs
@@wumbowyatt2300agree
@@wumbowyatt2300I would say severely and I would be right
@@WillemDafoeOfficial no need to be salty my guy.
@@wumbowyatt2300 you seem to be the only one that's salty here lol
Masterful critique, brother.
Very well said 👏.
1:56. You unlocked it, you madlad: The Parker Squirter™
I always liked the MJ levels. It was good despite being simple. I especially loved it when they gave her a taser in the last few levels. Looks like they understood what we wanted.
Audience: “I don’t like feeling weak.”
Insomniac: “Give her a gun.”
And now they say that she is op people are stupid
@@TheTom20Are you stupid ????
The creator said she was OP... Like what.
I'm pretty sure the audience didn't say... I didn't like feeling weak. I think they didn't wanna play as MJ or Miles at all.
While I agree the second game did her justice. The first game made me quit and uninstall the game 3 times in one MJ mission altogether. Idc if she was weak. I hated it.
@@xpflowexclusive4313 I'm kinda glad they kept her missons, because like her misson when peter chases her is awesome
@@TheTom20 i think some missions like those... The chase and the Bomb scene in SM1 was great.
But everything else was just unnecessary. You can replace her with spiderman and allow him to get information and it wouldn't feel any different.
Spider man 2 should have won like 2 awards
What rewards? There were just better games this year
I would say for the spider man voice actor ( I forgot his name) he should have gotten an award for his voice acting and the next award for graphics as well
@@shadownightdragon6524Yuri (spider man Voice actor) Should have won
@@cr4zybigboomhe did alright but he was way outclassed by other voice actors. Cant remember a single scene I went “wow this voice acting is really good by Yuri” I can remember multiple instances when I went “wow that was pretty cringe, they really recorded this and thought that was menacing 😂?”
When the world needed him the most😢 Great video as always Alex!
Almost made me cry, beautiful video
the grandpa earl and howard side missions are some of the most emotional experiences i’ve ever had. they’re beautiful side missions
After what Insomniac went through with the hackers, it’s good to see their games are still getting love.
It takes a while to get a video from you, but when you do upload it I be ecstatic to watch it
Ah spiderman 2 the 007 of video games. 0 fun 0 awards and 7 nominations
I think we can all agree that Yuri Lowenthal got robbed for Best Performance. He gave his all in Spider-Man 2. I mean, I knew Baulders Gate 3 was gonna win. It seemed obvious given the large amount of content it has and the fanbase it rapidly grew. Like Elden Ring from last year. They really like their large open world games that takes over 100 hours to finish.
Yeah
Once he donned the symbiote, he was arguably more scary than the full nineteen inches of Venom.
He gave it his all...but that script they gave him could had been way better
Coming from someone who played both, Neil deserved every bit of it. Yuri was a fantastic runner-up, though.
@@michaelrigney9682makes me wish there could be multiple winners for individual actor awards like best voice actor.
The way I see it this game is good for what it is. It’s not game of the year worthy nor better than the first. But it is a safe sequel to a fantastic game. There are tons of CZcamsrs out there like Synthetic man and Griffin Gaming who call this game complete trash for certain decisions and imperfections but I ultimately don’t share their view. The game has problems, a story sometimes being rushed, several beloved suits missing from the roster, some game breaking glitches that as of this comment have mostly been fixed, arguably not enough additions to the gameplay, miles god awful new suit, and so on. Is there some suggestive writing that feels like it panders to some movement or another yes. But that’s not enough to completely bring a game down. It’s good to know I’m not alone as CZcamsrs like moistcritical who I trust to be unbiased and neutral have a similar view. Still I do wish this game didn’t have a lot of its content cut out.
No it's sonyverse villans
@@jefftakesdscakes30what does that even mean.
@@Averagebasementman there are to hype up the movies
Just spend like 15 hours playing it. I could not stop playing. Only stopped playing now cuz I really have to go to bed. Insomniac cooked hard af
i love the copyright free "epic orchestral dark rock" that plays in the montage at the end, ended up laughing more than being impressed
I love the game but what they did to the MJ model is abismol. the blatant self insert is verry distracting.
Finally, a review with the nuance I needed to hear. Your sentiments on the story are the same as mine, as I feel the story (especially when Venom arrives) needed more time to breathe.
I laughed so hard watching this video especially the sus part with kraven my favourite part was the Britain joke,I just subbed man and liked this was one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched on CZcams.
oh my god i love your editing style love your videos
See that's what you call a good review. Genuine love and admiration for the game while still giving criticism where it needs to be given.
Great job Alex.
I genuinely enjoyed most of the story, even with the rushed pacing in certain places. I wasn’t expecting anything in particular; I was just hoping to enjoy myself with the story, and I got what I wanted. I really enjoyed Venom in this game. I just thought he was so intimidating and powerful that, despite the symbiote being destroyed at the end, I hope we can see more of him.
Like I said, I wasn’t expecting anything in particular with the story, so I thoroughly enjoyed it. Could some things have been better/more fleshed out? Sure. But, for what we got, I’m pretty satisfied.
Great video.
I loved this game so much that when I received as a Christmas present, I ended up Platinuming the game in 3 days.
Spider-Man 2 was really good. Despite its flaws mainly Venom needing more screen time to develop, the rest of the game was incredible. Kraven was terrifying, Peter with the symbiote left many unforgivable moments in my head and the dynamics with the characters were great. Not to mention the game play and the incredible web swinging. (I could go on and on but you get my point)
The game's story is a mess because Insomniac themselves said that they wanted to do so much more but Sony rushed them. I wouldn't have minded if the game got delayed but since we have it now, I still love it
This game was the best thing ever. Only criticisms, Venom was undercooked and New Game + not being from the start. Rest was awesome.
Yeah people were honestly making problems and the way people turned on the game after the game awards was making me mad like so many CZcamsr s just said the game didn't deserve any awards while it was straight ribbed of them and I don't care about Ng+ that much but from leaks of what I've heard the Ng+ will add additional story content witch I'm excited to see
that outro 😭😭🔥🔥🔥
Excellently put. I love the game but it definitely needed to be like 5 hours longer. It's around the same runtime as the first game yet the pacing felt way more breakneck especially during the Venom arc. I hope with the rumored DLC they set up or flat out introduce Eddie Brock as a second Venom because it really felt like we didn't get enough of him.
I feel like outside of the new game plus issue this is a 10/10 game
I’m glad there is gonna be a third game that probably focuses more on miles, but this game definitely left me wanting a bit more. I think it needed to be harsher, especially for a story like this.
Great video lad keep up the good work
Love what Insomniac did with this game. I think also they're leaving a lot of stuff for a future Venom/Carnage dlc
Man finally and unbiased opinion yes I agree with you the game is awesome the only thing is it’s too short no one can actually have real criticism for the game besides the shortness so far it’s the best spider man game so far and it still feels like they care just a little rushed
A video finally talking about Spider-Man 2 in a positive way instead of hating on it because it’s “woke”? What a miracle!
meeting and talking to the grampa,howard and may in this game was inspirational and awesome
The thumbnail is the best ive ever seen
I cannot wait for new game+ im so keen to PLay the story again, personally its easily a 10/10 masterpiece. Insomniac are the GOATS 😍
Finally, a review for the game that I agree with.
amazing work once again alex 😤
bro drop the hardest spierman 2 edit and thought we wouldn't notice
Who tf gave spider-man 2 a 9.7 lmao
Someone who was ecstatic about the 19 inches.
Fighting in the spiderman games feels like jujustsu kaisen fights
R.I.P A-/-B(The Lord) he was a brave soul for trying to run Spider-Man 2 on his PS4. Unfortunately, it exploded when he deployed the web wings. He will be missed 🪦
This game is beautifully written
Lmao, what a joke
I hated this game. Sidelined Peter at his own game
I was so excited to play the first game that I went in completely blind...after two whole years, no joke. Same for the second one, except I pre-ordered it. I like it despite everyone on Twitter insisting you're not supposed to for some reason.
8:25 this is the most relatable part, I haven’t touched the last 2 games since launch of the spider man 2, I’ve been playing the last 2 games for 5 years 😭
11:39 I’m still not over it
Bro made a trailer at the end
Saying miles morales was good is very hilarious
I’m gay
Do you want 19 inches of Alex Webb?
good for you mate
That sucks I hope they find a cure for that one day
The developers argument of trying not to make Spider-Man overpowered, the hell are you talking about he’s freaking Spider-Man of course he’s overpowered that’s what makes him fun to play as. You know what isn’t fun? Getting ambushed by two Symbiote Brutes and getting two shot by nearly unavoidable attacks that you’d need the reaction time of the fucking Flash to effectively avoid
he actually uploaded
i used to pray for times like this
