I feel like the "Insomniac connection" between spiderman and the villains of the game isn't as bad as you make it out to be. Narratively, you make sense of both sides and find a reason to connect and understand each character being affected. In the first game, for example, they made Otto and Peter partners in Otto's lab. We all know Otto Octavius becomes Doc Ock but it's the fact that we can understand and relate to Otto making the transition to Doc Ock more painful to not only Peter but the player as well and that is what I think Insomniac shined. In Miles' case, I feel like the player didn't have the chance to connect with Phin as much as we did with Otto making the dynamic almost dull and redundant. I have high hopes for Spider-Man 2 though because of how well they made the first game and how gripping the story was. The character dynamic will still be incredible and having Harry as Venom is an interesting idea that I have faith in Insomniac will do right.

[@Zeromaru42]

Yeah it definitely feels like Prowler ended up picking up the slack for that one. It genuinely changes both characters for the better by the end and I think the Mixtape storyline with Miles Father is arguably the best part of that. I loved that story that came from hearing Miles Dad talk about it so even though it was super obvious it was built up before and after to make it meaningful.

[@SJ_RANKS]

It however doesn’t work for phin and miles because phin is so stupid and unlikeable every second phin was on screen she made my blood boil especially that scene where she leaves miles for dead if want me to sympathize with her probably not a good idea to have her be such an asshole at least I let it slide with otto because his mind was affected by the neural interface and we don’t know that otto knows Peter is Spider-Man yet but here phin knows and it’s just disgusting she’s an utterly irredeemable villain at that point her sacrifice at the end meant jack sh🐬t because of how she treated miles and before you give me that whole “oh but he lied to her” yeah and so did she by not telling him that she’s the tinkerer,Rick was dead and attacking his mother’s campaign rally I can’t stand phin she ruins the entire experience of the game for me

The biggest problem for me personally, is that the new face just makes Peter look WAY too young for his age, this is supposed to be a Peter who's almost been Spider-Man for a decade, yet he looks like he just got his powers a few weeks ago and it makes things even WORSE when you consider the fact, that his girlfriend and the woman that he APPARENTLY slept with look SIGNIFICANTLY older than him which creates this uncomfortable and disturbing pedo vibe that I just can't shake off. Seriously, whatever Insomniac's reason was for changing his face, they should've just stayed with the one that we had which fit in properly with Peter's age. The only character that I wouldn't of minded to get a face change is MJ, because I don't know if it's just me, but every time I look at her all I can see is Ellie from The Last Of Us, no joke, I'm being serious on that.

It seems to me like you were expecting a full-blown sequel here rather than a high-quality side story, that's part of why this is a much shorter game and story. The writers clearly knew what they were doing with the similarities between Miles and Phin and Otto and Peter, they were meant to parallel each other not be rip-offs, best seen when the two duos literally bump into each other during that flashback scene, they knew what they were doing there. You really seemed to expect Miles story to be too much of its own thing but by virtue of him being Peters protege on his first solo adventure that couldn't have been the case. This isn't about Miles becoming Spiderman it's about him recognizing his identity and potential to be his OWN Spiderman, so there will be similarities but they are very much his own, best seen when he takes the suit Peter made for him and makes the now iconic Miles suit. It parallels the scene from Peters game where Otto helps him make his white spider suit but serves a different purpose, there Peter was accepting a friends help in making himself a better suit but because he refuses to let too many people in on his secret that was pretty much all Otto could really do for him. Miles, on the other hand, comes to recognize that he doesn't have to do things as Peter does, he mentions at one point that Peter said it's a "rule" that you never tell anyone you're secret identity but this just doesn't work for Miles. He comes to find value in having his own support system to help him out, first with Ganke, then with Uncle Aaron, and even his mother are all let in on the secret and they all support and help him to varying degrees. This is something Peter has always been too afraid to do but it goes to further show how similar yet different he and Miles are. Predictable isn't always a bad thing, I too saw where things were likely going for Phin and I dreaded it every step of the way. I was hoping she could live through to the end but that obviously just wasn't meant to be, didn't matter at all that I saw her death coming. As for Simon, I mean I guess they could have had him get away but I don't mind him being caught either. It goes to further make Phins story even more tragic because this proves that Miles was right, if they had just gone public with everything Simon was doing he would have been arrested and Roxxon would have been finished, but she was so blinded by rage and grief that that option was unacceptable, she needed to make Simon hurt in any way she could, just as Otto couldn't let his beef with Norman go. I also LOVED everything done with Uncle Aaron, he's far more sympathetic here than he's ever been and I love that he isn't just stuck as a villain through to the end since he does get a moment of redemption at the end and could possibly begin to mend his relationship with Miles and his family later, but does still get arrested himself and is still paying for what he's done too. His side missions were some of the first ones I finished, just the right amount of challenge without being frustrating and the reward for finishing them was awesome and well worth it. I found this game's story to be, yes, shorter than the first but every bit as engaging. Part of this is me further relating to Miles as a young black man myself, that scene where he's about to be shot by the Roxxon guys on the bridge really hit me in a place. It's not exactly the Miles game I would have made but I'm more than happy with what I got.

Finally, someone put into words exactly what I thought, and of course, it was you. No surprise there. One thing that's been bothering me is that a few people act like Miles is the only Spider Man who helps the little guy or helps the community as a whole with acts of good that might seem small, but as a whole have a huge impact, like Peter saving Gloria and pointing her at the right direction. Look at her now. And you pointed out exactly what I thought. Both Peter and Miles help the little guy and the community and are not above the smallest acts of kindness, Miles just allows himself to receive it back from the people he helps, being part of that community as both Miles and Spider Man, while Peter mostly keeps them at arm's length because of all his experiences until this point and because he just doesn't have this talent to connect with people that Miles has. He helps people but does the absolute best he can to not get help back because he's compassionate to a fault, and really doesn't like the idea of someone wasting their time to help him even if he does the exact same. And Miles might've been like that if Peter and Aunt May hadn't took him in, hadn't shown him kindness and helped him even though they didn't have much to do with Miles anyway. Miles allows himself to be loved back while Peter doesn't really like the idea of that, but hopefully will open up to that with Miles by his side now.

It’s kinda funny how most players like and use the base suit Miles makes in the story line but in the main Spider Man game, everyone is indifferent about the advance suit Octavius makes for Peter and just use the other variants of the suit.

Chameleon, Sandman. The reason they are never used is because the most famous villains are the ones who have personal connections, like Green Goblin

Merry Christmas, Xavier! About Spider man's villains, while I agree with you in some points, I don't mind that the Spidey's villains are usually people who have a connection with him. This actually match with the main theme of Spider man stories, which is about action and consequences. Most of spider man stories are about Peter (or Miles) decisions and how his activites as Spider man affect his life as well the lifes of the people around them. The villains represent one of the results of their actions as heroes and make the conflitct more personal, putting Spider man in situation where he has to choose between his friend or do the right thing.

11:07 what a brilliant time to get an ad

[@mikeymontuy4520]

At 2:00 “that’s not gonna be funny at all for people watching my videos for the first time”, I’ve never watched your videos before this so when you said that it was factual but the fact that you brought attention to it made up for it completely and made it way funnier

[@kartiksadat]

Ganke:You stole my identity Ned: No I'm slim now Ganke:bcoz of you I'm slim now too

[@dungusglumbus9946]

I agree with you about the story. It’s definitely told out of order. That’s a mistake a lot of modern day single player games make. The Last of Us 2 comes to mind. I feel like with this game (and TLOU2), I could re-edit the cutscenes to be in chronological order, and it would make the game 10x better. This game is still good tho. 8/10

[@lampkenobi494]

I can see why you didn’t talk about this in the video, but I also think the diversity in the game was really special and was something that meant a lot to me. I obviously assumed they’d include characters of different ethnicities based off of the fact that that’s half of miles character (which is still great, just something I predicted), but I think that including a deaf character was awesome, especially because they didn’t paint her in a negative light, or make her disability seem annoying, she just seemed like a normal character who happened to be deaf. I also thought her relationship with miles was really sweet, and it was cool that they also made him seem very accepting of her. Also, a bit of a smaller inclusion, but they did include some lgbtq+ characters in the game. It was probably just for queer-baiting, but it still felt really cool. Also, not only was it cool that they included these minorities, but it also felt a lot more realistic. It made the world feel natural, because there obviously are people of these minorities all around, especially in new york, so it just made the world feel like an actual place and not just a fictional world. (I should clarify that I don’t think a story or world is bad because it doesn’t include a minority, I just think that including the minority makes it feel a lot more realistic)

about the villains the reason why I love mcu mysterio more than mcu vulture , he has no former connection to peter, other than his goals to manipulate him

[@MassHystarix]

Lol that's a reason I like vulture more

[@theoverlord3937]

16:00 The worst part about Krieger is that his plan makes 0 sense because most power plants aren’t even located in the city they power (thanks Game Theory) so all Roxxon had to do was put the newform generator in a secluded desert and they get all the benefits and none of the evil shit, making him both an asshole AND a terrible businessman.

[@spiderzilla7o7]

Spider man is like Pokémon where almost every villain is a company or cult

[@Xephyrak]

Such a good point at 4:30 the boss fights have been severely lacking, the element of dynamic change of scenery would oh so sweet . Vulture and electro were both contained to that, an open air box. But based on on the overall combat animation improvement and the rhino chase I feel like they’re on their way. Spider-Man 2 could just be disgusting but we’ll see if they can anticipate that want. Someone should clip a link to insomniac.

This is a taste of what Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is gonna be like. Peter is gonna be so fluid and graceful when swinging, i’m sure!

[@moviehermit5631]

I think it would have been good to go even further with the flashback being the start, and having Phin alongside Miles at Brooklyn Visions, he knows that Rick died, and he just took her distance as grieving for her brother. Instead she began to work with the Undeground, became the Tinkerer, and rose in power in the background. The reveal would come much later, after having more moments between Phin and Miles, making the reveal and sotry more impactful. Maybe the first Act would be. bit more focused on Fisk and his actions against Harlem, or even just some minor villains that take up the time to give us something to do in between the emotional points that further develop the relationships. Maybe even investigating Roxxon because Miles (and Peter) are suspicious of their actions in regards to holding Rhino, and discovering that they're enhancing his armour, which leads into an attack from the Underground as they look for Nuform shipments. I'm just spitballing some ideas here. I have no idea how well this would flow with the rest of the story.

[@lashids]

Miles and Peter are like Wally and Barry from Flash Comics. Barry was respected by his community and holped them, but Wally was a friend to everyone in the city
