So the issue you showed where you said that Spider-Man doesn’t usually survive falling- well in that issue AS SPIDER-MAN IS FALLING he notes how “he will probably be fine and has survived worse” before black cat saves him.

Only compare some elements to real life if you don't have any good reason to believe it's any different from real life. (Things like physics and laws and shit).

If I'm being real, the personality thing I'm not really a fan of. Peter having an attitude is cool and all but...I feel like back then, it makes more sense for him. Y'know, when he was more of a teen. But now he's gotten very humble, he's grown, he's past a lot more of that stuff. He's called the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man for a reason. I feel like him acting like a douchebag is just...frankly out of character for him. He's snarky and cracks jokes at bad times, and tbh...the guy said Spidey's villains hate him for insulting them, so this one being friendly is kind of out of character and doesn't mesh with that idea: ... Firstly, having a full-fledged conversation with a bad guy is incredibly frustrating when they're trying to murder you. It shows very clearly that the guy talking about how these grunts need more variety in their uniforms /really/ isn't taking this fight seriously in the slightest. Fights where...usually those grunts are literally trying to kill him. That in itself, is a GIANT level of disrespect imo. And then mesh that with the fact that...he actually does insult his bad guys: "Y'know what Herman? You have like zero personality." "Man, you guys make swinging and missing an art form!" "If only you guys put THIS much effort into your fashion choices!" "You guys drunk? Or just stupid?" "Remember our first fight? Me so young and stupid...you just...stupid-" "I dunno if you were paid to kill me or recruit me but...you kinda suck at both-" And imo, Spider-Man's personality is handled pretty damn well in this game. So yeah, while I respect that Twitter users opinion and respect the fact his pfp is Vegeta, I also hard disagree with that take too.

Honestly I completely agree that's why I didn't understand that take of he's not "in character"

2:20 I like his elaboration here, and I do hope that in the sequel, maybe the black suit will have an influence on him. For example, making him more kiddish and reverting back to his early days of being too cocky or arrogant. It would be better than them making him just more angry or something too simple.

Elaborating on Yuri’s quips and general Spidey performance, it was VERY different at a certain point in development. There are clips online that show early builds of the game, some of which show Spidey (in a different looking advanced suit) relaying his quips with a significantly more assertive and deeper tone. For reference, it’s pretty much how NPH did his voice for Peter in TNAS, which I think for the general demeanor of Peter before say his marriage, is damn near perfect. Most modern adaptions of the character make teen/YA Peter way more soft and child-like, which I’m not a fan of personally. Young Peter’s age in-costume shouldn’t be easily discernible imo. USM was the only adaption to change this but actually make USE of this change

Personally I think its a good ass game, Its not perfect , I feel everyone has a problem with Mj's writing as she seems to be incapible of doing any wrong even though she nearly gets herself and peter killed several times which is enough to make your eyes roll, peter himself is great though, I found this vesion wise but still selfish, it made him feel very human in a setting that often makes the hero you're playing as feel like a god, he's not like a 1/1 rip off of slotts spider-man he never comes across as too much of a dick and he's still likeable enough to have a group of friendsand working relationships with people other than his aunt, something dan slotts peter never does because slott really thought peter WAS an asshole and ALWAYS ruined his relationships, i feel like he's a good mix of pre one mores day wise and scientific peter and slotts youthful can never catch a break spidey, its really solid and you really do feel for peter when he has to watch his mentors downfall. The gameplay is solid although i much prefer the web strike from web of shadows, I dunno I think people are being a lil too hard on it, its not perfect, but its good

The bandwagoning and recency bias the game got when it released on PS4 and people saying it was perfect was a bit much, kinda like what happened to Elden Ring recently, but I agree with you. Spider-Man isn't perfect but it's very solid imo. I've only played it a few days ago now that it came out on PC. Overall it was about what I expected: Insomniac knows how to make a polished game with great attention to detail (been a long time Ratchet & Clank fan) and what I looked forward to the most, the web slinging/swinging, didn't disappoint. I'd even say it's the most fun traversal out of any open world game I've played. :D On the other hand, I must admit I'm slightly disappointed that it didn't really bring much new to the table and it clearly borrows A LOT from the Arkham games when it comes to the combat, as most people have realised. So the combat lacks originality, but it wasn't a huge problem to me, as the combat system is still perfect for Spider-Man anyways. The gameplay I did not like however was from MJ and Miles, which was boring and completely lacking in depth and then on top of that, as you mentioned, MJ was written in a way that made her a bit unlikable... I'm also not a huge fan of the way Spiderman was treated by the writers sometimes, be it through MJ or just him being played like an annoying idiot cracking bad jokes (as mentioned in the video). I also found a good portion of side quests and challenges to be a bit repetitive and recycled, but to be fair, most open worlds struggle with this. But I suppose this is all the criticism I have for the game, most of which could be taken as nitpicks to some people, so overall it's a game I'd recommend.

So you’re okay with the fact that Spider-Man idiotically leaves behind backpacks that yields clues to his true identity? He even forgot he was holding sandman captive in one of his backpacks. Don’t use the bullshit excuse that’s it’s just a video game collectibles so it’s not canon because it actually is canon because Spider-Man actually mentions during a cutscenes in the main story. How the goddamn fuck did he just forget the backpacks even though he placed tracking devices on them? And the method he used to track them is complete bullshit . He modified the oscorp surveillance towers to track more than just crimes, which is really invasive. Keep in mind that Spider-Man is aware of corrupt cops under the employ of Wilson Fisk. That’s not only problem with insomniac’s Spider-Man, he’s a ruthless asshole as well. Spider-Man encourages these reprehensible actions. Just like the elevator with the demons, you don’t need to take those demons in the elevator but Spider-Man actually encourages this deplorable act of ruthlessness. Spider-Man actually encourages the player to web the demons in the elevator shaft so they inevitably get crushed by the elevator or incinerated by the Molotov cocktail. Since Spider-Man encourages it, that means insomniac actually thought that’s something Spider-Man would which proves how clueless and misunderstanding they are of the character of Spider-Man.

I agree with your point that games can't be judged as movies since they're a completely diferent medium and should be critizized as such. For example, should we complain that since you're in control of peter he can stop going after a burning building in the main story to chase after a pigeon?...lol. Also there is no perfect game and there will never be a perfect game and thats fine.

SK's video made me so angry based mostly on the fact that he ignores the medium to make judgements about the game as if it were a movie. That's just not possible with with a video game narrative. The one that had me the most upset was him criticizing the fact that the player is allowed to perform a web takedown in the elevator if they want, and passing that off as bad characterization for Peter. It's a completely optional takedown that was given to the player to allow them to play how they want. Since game design is about letting the player play how they want within the mechanics of the game. So, in the game design, the devs want to account for every option the player can think of to get past an encounter. For a Spider-Man game where you can take down enemies, it doesn't really make sense for the player to not be able to do that in an elevator shaft, and then they would be limiting the player for the sake of cheap stealth. If SK has an issue with that, then that would be an issue he has with the game design, not the writing. This game is by no means perfect and I think you do a great job at pointing out some of the issues that I also had with the game, but it is still a damn good time and a great game. It has some great moments of characterization, fun gameplay and combat, great suits (they finally figured out how to incentivize the player into actually stopping crimes, just give them suits as rewards), and a great villain.

@@Entertainer12314 No they don’t? Character assassination? Retcons? How are they retconning anything when this is there own and new canon take? The vast majority of the criticism in that video WAS pointless, superficial nitpick

To me All killing in gameplay is non cannon, especially with the bits where you can manipulate the game by say making a rocket hit an enemy while dodging. The Peter wanting to save MJ sounds like it’s just a plot hole insomniac didn’t think about.

for the part of “spider-man killing criminals when throwing them out of cars”, if you go into camera mode i think you can see one of those automatic web bombs tie a criminal to a street light or somthing

Sometimes I get really stressed out, and then u play this game and feel completely refreshed.

Some personal criticisms of the game itself: - I wish Peter was an actual loner, it seemed like he had it all figured out and everyone in his life was great (outside of Octavius). Maybe make Parker more of a loner and have the consequences be felt more in the game. Like when Peter Parker got evicted out of his apartment, I wish it had more of a consequence in the gameplay - I wish the color scheme for Peter's suit was different when the first few trailers came out. I also wish he had an actual job like a scientist (outside of otto's lab) or was a science teacher like in JMS's run. - The boss fights were lackluster - The Open world is definitely the most developed but still feels repetitive of other Spidey games - I wanted Peter to respond and/or consider what Mr. Negative was saying about Norman Osborn's selfishness (while still stopping Mr. Negative of course) - I would have wanted a scene after the main story where Spidey confronts Norman Osborn

An additional point on people being thrown out of moving vehicles, is something that is already covered in the video game. When you knock an enemy off a building, trip-mine webs cling them to the nearest wall. I would imagine the same exact thing is being done to the passengers and driver in car chase side missions. Mind you, I’ve never bothered searching for the last guy thrown out, since I expect them to just be despawned, but in the event their bodies are indeed rendered unconscious on the sidewalk, then we return to the points made in the video that everyone in that universe are just more durable. Just look at how easily each of them brush off a manhole cover or a motorcycle, before you’ve punched them a fair amount. If the enemies can’t be found and are despawned, then it’s safe to assume Peter saved them with a web to land on, or hanged them in a web-cocoon from a traffic light.

This game is a masterpiece still. I fully agree that this is modern Slott-like Peter but somehow they made me like him. Only a masterpiece could do that. This might not be the best Spider-Man ever made, but this is imo the best interpretation of the modern Slott/MCU-type Spider-Man.

peter also throws motorcycles at people hard enough to explode aaid motorcycles

Nah nah bro the fist bump between spidey and sable was pure wholesome

I think the only one that really hated Spiderman PS4 was HuggBees, considering for some godforsaken reason he classifed it as being only slightly better than One More Day of all things. Like I get that he calls it overrated but starting off the OMD video with that is just criminal.

The Fisks/cops cut doesn't follow a normal timeline. Spiderman arrives at the point of the truck hitting/a few moments after and joins in the fight instantly. Half of the cutscene shows events before his arrival. It's a common trick in action movies. Even in literature and theatre.

Falling from high places and taking damage or dying is a good point. Spider-Man 2 the game on PS2 and Xbox 360 had this and I think was one great detail.

SK's critique feels like mostly nitpicking, but the other one... I've felt something was missing from this iteration for a long time and they summed it up perfectly.

People get mad when they make spiderman too different and get mad when its too similar 🤦‍♂️

One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of people complain about his attitude and personality, but I feel as though they forget that Peter has grown and matured a lot since he got his powers in this game. A lot of people tend to ignore the fact that this game is not a backstory, and only mentions Peter’s childhood when it has to. Much like MCU’s Spider-Man, we all know his backstory, so we should care more about his current adventure.

Not all gloomy and edgy, but kind of like edge of time (they’re both similar ages with adult spidermen). The jokes are great in this game, but Peter just feels like he’s never really angry, with the exception of the finale (which everybody loves). Just a minor nitpick cause other than that hr is good. But the DLCs were quite bad story wise IMO. Everybody in that DLC is acting like a cartocature

I really dislike "Marvel" fans nowadays. it's been over 50+ years since Spider-Man's first issue, yet they (Just like Marvel Comics) don't want him to change or grow up. I have been told I shouldn't like MCU Spider-Man because "In the comics he is an asshole, and UNCLE BEN IS IMPORTANT THERE" Well, no. I have read the original comics before I was introduced to any of the movies, and some things accurate, while other things I think are upgrades. Nevermind is entitled to his opinion, but we should start calling out those who just put down anything that isn't "MY 60s SPIDERMAN!!!!!!!!". Tom is great, Yuri is great, and Josh Keaton is great. Stop complaining about different iterations, and complain about shit iterations. I don't like Andrew's Spider-Man, and I think Marc Webb's Spider-Man is one of the most damaging and inaccurate one I have ever seen. But TASM not being accurate to the comics will never be the issue and I can still shut up when I see people enjoying TASM.

Another great video man. I pretty much share the same sentiments as you for the most part. You actually made a point in this video that brought me back to a video idea you could do and that's ranking all of the original costumes designed by insomniac in both games. Just a fun suggestion I thought of. Keep up the good work!

Neverland is just being a baby who can’t handle the idea that the Spider-Man we got isn’t the Spider-Man he wanted

I actually really agree with the points the first guy said, and with what you said in the beginning. The next game will probably fix most of those issues though, judging by what they've shown and said about it so far.

The way I look at that truck scene in the beginning of the game is that those are seconds before Spidey actually gets there and when he takes the guns is when he got to Times Square.

My only problems with this game are a few story elements: •Peter doesn't behave like he's experienced •EVERYTHING about MJ •The first dlc is POINTLESS and Destroys Black Cat's character development that she COULD of had...while also throwing away what couldve been the MOST UNIQUE Spider-Man story IN AGES with Peter and Felicia having a son

The biggest issue is wallcrawling being broken and you can't wallrun down buildings. Apart from that it's really good^^

God, this video explained all my problems with Spider-Man PS4 AND problems with criticism of the game in a way I very much couldn’t. Fantastic job, looking forward to the next video.

I completely agree with the first guy. Peter's portrayed personality has been my biggest issue with this game since the launch. Unfortunately the hype surrounding this game due to the refreshing quality has shushed its criticism, but I believe that aside from Peter just being too much of "just a good person" and having taken away some of his general arrogance and insulting demeanor towards his enemies, I think most characters are depicted as being unrealistically "do-gooders" or plain victims of circumstance, as if no one could ever be faulted of anything, unless you're the bad guy. Besides that, the suits the game wants you to play with throughout the story are unnecessary redesigns for an already perfect and iconic outfit. This is my criticism, however, all aspects surrounding gameplay and the game's graphics were excellent. Edit: I have a special bone to pick with MJ's portrayal. It's part of the modern trend of subverting her character into a more independent and strong headed demeanor. MJ is not Lois Lane, she doesn't need to be. MJ is a fun, loving, flirty party girl who's there by Peter's side to support him when he needs it the most, and that's all she needs to be for it to work. If you make her Lois Lane, the Peter, MJ dynamic doesn't work, doesn't seem like they have any chemistry or ever be a couple in the first place. I think it's part of the unflattering decisions and direction the narrative of this game chose to take.

I'm curious about how the new game is gonna expand venom character, if im not mistaken the post credit scene show us that norman is trying to cure Harry with a symbiote, correct me if im wrong

I think sometimes it's fun to nitpick a video games logic, but only as a way to get a laugh, not as valid criticism. Like many of Spider-man's attacks, like that brutal uppercut that launches enemies into the air, would kill them. The backpacks are obviously unrealistic, not only because it reveals his identity, but because of how silly it is that he forgot all these when he specifically placed trackers on them. But neither of these makes the game bad because these things makes the game more fun. I love this game and it's by far my favorite superhero game. I can understand why some may not like the personality of this Peter, or MJ placing herself in danger and whatnot, but I had no problem with either of these things. This is my favorite version of Peter. I liked his extreme friendliness and dad jokes.

Most of the enemies that spiderman throws end up webbed to the side of a building

This still is one my favorite games of all time.

I feel like the start cutscene of the game can be easily explained as it takes place during the time peter swings toward the scene

I definitely agree with the criticism about Peter's humor. It honestly gives some MCU vibes. I do, however, like Miles, especially replaying the city that never sleeps DLC after Miles Morales and seeing how much he grows up that year. It makes me really excited for the story potential of Miles seeing a darker side of Peter in the next game.

Nah, it’s fine. Insomniac should do what they do best. That guy is clearly craving for likes.

Insomniac Spider-Man definitely killed people in that prison break level

I disagree. I think my cat would totally survive. He’s a fuckin beast.

I still stand by that Marvel's Spider-Man is the definitive Spider-Man game to play. Others are great too, but as a whole experience it's that game

Well cant you assume that the reason he gets there so late to save the cops is bacause the cutscene in the timeline happens at the same time youre swinging? As simple as that, and then his appearance is a few seconds after he reaches the 100 meters, they overlap basically

You said something about a tier list for the suits and now I need you to make a video ranking the suits in this game. And you could do a quick section for miles suits since he doesn't have that many in his game.

For the killing it's visual flavour, to have these over the top bombastic move's, I mean you could say that for almost any Spider-Man game, are we going to say riping boulders and Chucks swinging the around hitting people (amazing Spider-Man shattered demotions) or beating the crap out of some one and turning there face into a make shift skateboard (web of shadows) heck in the classic ps1 games you knock bad guy off the side of buildings fallen to there death, at least 2018 has that little web thing to catch them on there way down, and out all the collectables there just fun Easter egg, I'd rather them than just a 2300 of spider symbol from web of shows, heck I love the amazing Spider-Man game collectables because you can get full issues to read, an they have ti be none cannon unless someone writing spider man comics in its universe.

Otherwise the combat being clunky maybe because PC lol. I definitely think this game was really enjoyable I also feel the first cutscene was more like timed wrong maybe it like he swung in as we swung is how I took it like he wasn't there yet idk

The thing about Spidey Valuing MJ over the others in the train station, It's realistic that Peter would wanna you know save his girlfriend from the middle of danger instead of risking her die. Like I can't imagine someone in real life being a superhero and just saying they'd save everyone before worrying about what happened to their girlfriend. While it's the wrong thing to do it's also kinda realistic and gives a flaw to Peter that he has to over come later when he's about to use the cure on May.
