They should’ve had
his hood up if they wanted to have his hair showing. I like the upper body design of the suit, but his whole ass hair showing is so stupid.
It is an awful design. I really want to know what they were smoking.

He is happy though of dying that way. instead of cancer.Stopped last night at the start of (what I think is) the final boss.
That final sequence of story missions is fucking nuts, almost 5 hours went by like it was nothing! The direction of the cutscenes and pacing of the missions is insanely good too.
If I have any criticism of the story, it's that Kraven dies a little too soon for my liking. Really enjoyed how good he was as a villain and how he pushed everyone to the breaking point.
MysterioI was kind bored and started rushing through the story and I have to admit, it's been fucking great. I just killed Kraven and fought the symbiotes for the first time.
So let me ask you guys, is there any side content worth doing?
Don't forget the Flame stuff. Best side missions in the game easily, it feels like they're main content, and in a way they kind of are as I think they'll be further explored in the next game.Mysterio
Kraven bases or something (You unlock another costume).
Drones chases (Cutscene).
i think the goal was to show that he was a black spider-man, there pandering is in all the things Miles is involvedIt is an awful design. I really want to know what they were smoking.
Neat little video here showing some of the changes to the map between Remastered and 2, notice how things like clouds and foliage were touched up quite a bit.
I haven’t played the game yet, but I’ve noticed that nearly every screenshot or gif of SM2 is quite dull and flat compared to SM1 & MM. Like the suits and the city etc are lacking rich colour and contrast. Did they go for a more muted and “realistic” aesthetic this time? Or is it because they’re HDR and I’m viewing them in SDR? For example, Peter’s original suit in SM1 was bright, deep red and blue. But the equivalent suit in SM2 is dull and faded - like the contrast on a tv has been turned way down.
Just finished the game and i m really mixed about it, but my score is a 8/10
The Good:
- Graphically is way better then the Remaster and Miles games.
- Fast travel was god like.
- Spider Parker
- Bully Parker
- Harry
- Venon
- Combat was good
- Main story was good after Suit Harry showed up.
- Late game world map was a great implementation.
The Bad:
- The pandering is everywhere in Miles missions and sidequests.
- MJ sidequests ( broke all immersion )
- Everything that has Miles in it ( aside from the main story )
- Emile-May sidequest
- Prowler sidequest
- Mysterio, Kraven bases was so boring to do.
Game is good, but not good as the first one, this game made me feel like i was playing FF16 some times, main mission is good but the side stuff is horrific , i hope they dont try to put Peter to the side on the next games, if they do, game is dead to me.
This game has to be the best single player sony campaign since gow 2018. it is perfect. Great action. Great storytelling. Incredible setpieces. Perfect pacing. Im blown away tbh.
most games have one to two setpieces in a game. In this game, every story mission is a big setpiece. I dont ever want to hear complaints from SSM about how hard it is to do setpieces. Fuck you. learn from insomniac. Get gud. Maybe next time dont spend 5 years on single camera techniques and work on making some setpieces instead.
Also, just got to the venom reveal and again, every other game wouldve just played it safe, but nope, insomniac throws a massive setpiece at you that completely flips the narrative on its head. Wont spoil what it is, but i was not expecting them to take it there. Very refreshing to play a video game where I am actually surprised.
I hope this game becomes a blueprint on how to do proper story driven games. Even the walking sections arent bad. I remember wanting to kill myself in TLOU2 and Uncharted 4's walking levels. Here they are fun, engaging and go by fast. 5 minutes tops. Very similar to the uncharted 2 village level that started this ridiculous trend. Now we have 45 minute walking levels.
Lastly, really like the focus on 1v1 boss battles this time around. Very souls like and GOW inspired boss fights instead of the gimmicky boss battles from the first game. here they trusted their melee system to hold up in a 1v1 fight and every single fight has been fun. Im playing on normal and its been challenging though i havent died much. The parry system adds that final missing piece to the combat system which is crucial in some of these boss battles. I also love how the gadgets and abilities impact the bosses just like they do regular enemies. They dont just tank the hits.
P.S They even made MJ's sections fun. I never thought such a thing was possible lol
I feel mostly the same as you but I feel like they should almost all be one phase boss fights with an intermission in the middle. FF16 did this same kind of thing and it was annoying there too, but Spiderman 2 goes crazy with as many as five or six phases even.What are the thoughts on the boss fights.
I am torn.
I hate the tired "refill the boss' health meter" 2 or 3 times and change a single mechanic trope.
I hated the unstoppable attack surprise the boss gets that kills you.
I hated the sponge adds (like Venom needs help)
But I loved...
You can use your gadgets like any other enemy and they work.
Parrying was fun and very forgiving (I usually suck at it)
Once you learn the boss' move set, you can quickly learn to adapt.
I also think the finisher move (O & ^) is too underpowered and I just saved Focus to heal.
1) I really liked the photography side mission in 1, but in 2 it's both dumb and annoying. Last time it was stuff I actually was interested in finding (the Wakandan embassy, Dr Strange's house, etc.). I can see how they used everything up last time, but now the assignments are incredibly lame and then on top of it, that guy comes on and mansplains everything. *takes picture of a cafe* "Only in New York will you see people sitting around and drinking coffee!"
Venom became so popular they turned him into an anti-hero. And had to create carnage to compensate.Loved playing as you know who.
But I guess that’s it for him, right?
Also, is this Venom comic accurate? Tom Hardy’s version made me think him as some kind of antihero.
Not to the 90s comics(where MJ was a photo model). Eddy Brock became Venom there and terrorised Peter for a while since he knew his secret identity.Also, is this Venom comic accurate? Tom Hardy’s version made me think him as some kind of antihero.
Zero crashes for me so far. Knock on wood.This fucking game has crashed on me 7 times now

Yeah and how it resolves whenJust finished theboss battle, holy shit the cringefest during this segment was unbearable. Sony Studios seriously need to chill with the constant yapping during boss fights it's getting ridiculous now.Scream
It is an insane period, I agree .this, starfield and Alan wake 2 at the same time...with dashes of Mario wonder
From great sacrifices comes great naps.100% & platted.
