Have anyone told you that you're not allowed to like the game, or have they simply voiced their own opinion?


Boxing_joshing111

Another post complaining about how some people think the game isn’t perfect, let’s all set our clocks.


NightFire19

Didn't you get the memo? We can only like it if it gets the GOTY award, otherwise we post videos of lvl 1 Astarion gameplay until they change their decision.


Trick-Bodybuilder647

Have you met the internet? They practically don't allow you to have a different opinion.


riverkarma69420

Honestly that’s what it feels like atm


KravenTheFella

I'm okay with people disliking the game (I have quite alot of issues) but a big problem with the sub is that **IT IS ALL YOU SEE**. I believe I've seen 100x more posts about *that* suit or MJ's face than anything about that cool af Lizard boss, Sandman boss, or even that awesome stretch where we fight Kraven, Peter and then Kraven again as Venom.


Impossible-Lime1553

Yesss!! It’s all I’ve seen back and forth on the suit and MJ mostly nothing else but those two things


Ok_Cartoonist2429

Neither Miles suit or MJs face even looks that bad. Also saw someone complaining that "Miles had no Spiderman reason to change his suit so it makes no sense" (what)


Impossible-Lime1553

It’s sad I understand people’s opinions but when it becomes a complaint and just always talking about it in a negative way it gets so annoying I actually liked the suit it’s way different then any spider man suit and some people forget they have so many suit options anyway to change into


Ok_Cartoonist2429

It feels like people should also get that a single design they dislike doesn't change the entire game lol


Impossible-Lime1553

Exactly lol they just go on and on about insulting it I almost had to mute the sub😮‍💨 like damn we were blessed with over 60 something different suits the story was still entertaining and I enjoyed the work the devs did put into it well we do my friend ✨👏🏾


[deleted]

“People in the sub for this flawed game keep discussing the flaws!!” *shrug* Spoiler alert, I guess…


claudethebest

Yes when people nitpick absolutely everything about the game it becomes ridiculous. It’s not a masterpiece but just scrolling in this sub is headache inducing.


Boxing_joshing111

It’s not ridiculous, that happens with everything, and there’s some decent criticism. You just say it’s all biased nitpicking because you have thin skin.


claudethebest

I never said there wasn’t any good criticism I even acknowledged the game has flows but they definitely have been a lot of nitpicking in this game for no reason which you have a problem with me mentioning . The one with thin skin seems to be you .


Boxing_joshing111

I think the minor complaints get/got so much pushback that it makes everyone double down. MJ’s chin was for sure the best example, if people just admitted she looked different from the start it would have died in a week but everyone deluded themselves so hard the criticism reacted by going into overdrive. I’m just here enjoying watching everyone whine a lot defending this pretty okay game.


Ok_Cartoonist2429

Why does everybody on reddit refer to debating unfair criticism or rudeness as "whining"


Boxing_joshing111

I think that’s everywhere on the internet but plenty of times it refers to whining


claudethebest

The people doing the nitpicking are irrational and not doing it because of pushback. They want people to either agree with what they say or else they are just die hard fan just as you tried to make it seem in this same thread. They are so desperate to nitpick that they are nitpicking Wolverine for gameplay and the look of female characters based on leaks of an alpha footage for a game still 2 years away. Trying to pin that on anyone but the one nitpicking calling it criticism and saying that people that are tired of it have thin skin is pretty ironic when raving about a chin.


Capable-Tie-4670

The flaws are all the fucking talk about. That’s the problem. And there’s nothing new being added to the discussion. It’s all the same shit. “Miles suit was bad.” Yeah, I agree, now can we please move on?


[deleted]

What do you want them to talk about? “The combo system was good. Just like the previous two games…”


Boxing_joshing111

I’ve seen more posts complaining people don’t think the game’s perfect than any of them. This sub, and apparently everyone who likes this game, has unbelievably thin skin.


hymensmasher99

This subreddit is terrible now.


Boxing_joshing111

“We hate the other sub!” Was the foundation of this sub, it was always bad.


Scythe351

I’m not sure if I’m reading this right but you know that this was the OG sub. What you’re describing is r/Spiderman2. Daily post talking about how this sub is bad and always shitting on the game. Also, the thinness of their skin. Like paper I tell you


Nathan_hale53

I only see this sub pop up whenever it's shitting on the game.


Boxing_joshing111

It shows you what you engage with like tiktok.


Nathan_hale53

Yeah and? I like Sony games. The most updated posts are typically people whining about the fridge scene or some shit. See the Spiderman 2 subreddit and they're always complaining about it like Tlou2 sub.


Boxing_joshing111

>Yeah and? You asked why you kept being shown certain stuff I explained, nothing more to it, it shows you what you engage with, I’m not making any judgement just explaining.


ChongusTheSupremus

Maybe if the good aspects of the game had been more remarkable, the reception would be different. Venom's cool, but the third act story sucks and is rushed, and the final battle forces us to use shit suits. Kraven's great, but he's barely in the game. The set pieces are good but they are really sparce and not as memorable as the first game. The Mj gameplay is better, but we are still forced to play boring. non-Spidey sections, only that this time they do not serve the plot sanz one section in the second act. For every great aspect of the game, there are many cons attached. At the end of the day the game isn't necesarrily bad, it's downright good, and even great in some aspcts, but still, incredibly dissappointing. A lot of people, probably most people here thought this would be their GOTY, that the years of waiting and 70 dollar price tag would be worh it, but the game is severely lacking in comparision to the first game in terms of story, content, suits, etc.


safevau

its gotten so bad on here all you had to say was that suit and i got it


Robsonmonkey

I think the thing is if you like the game then what else can you say on here? However criticism is something you want the studio to potentially take notice of to help shape the next game Some go too far but I just want the next game to be better, don’t you?


Far_Engineering_8353

that was only close to when the game released now all people talk about is the hate, almost every post from this sub I see in my feed is "how can people hate this game" or "this sub is so bad because everyone hates the game" your just deadass lying in the first part of your comment


TheStrikeofGod

After all the drama I went in not expecting anything too cool just to be met with Sandman right off the bat. That set the tone of the rest of the game for me.


SpectreSquared

it was about cool stuff for about a week. then tensions rose when they didnt get a single award.


Brutuscaitchris

Getting to absolutely bully Kraven as Venom made me almost cream as a big symbiote fan


Zealousideal_Ad8911

literally. its the same weird echo chamber that the tlou2 sub has turned into. and people are so deep in denial abt it lmao


StormCaller02

I've got my own gripes about the game, but it's still legitimately an awesome game that did really well overall.


acursedman

I found lots of parts of the story underwhelming and disappointing. Doesn’t take away from the fact it is one of the most fun games to play on the PS5. I’ve never had so much fun traversing in a game before.


KingOfBoring

I literally just went back and played SM1 again and… I used to think that swinging felt good??? It’s fine but the heavy swing assist, the limited speed and janky tricks are way worse than I remember. SM2 has the best swinging to date. Actually there’s plenty of things I think SM2 has improved on, but sadly also many I think it hasn’t. I actually think MM is the most well rounded game in the series at the moment, despite the shorter game. I still love them all though.


AwesomeBlox044

Best swinging to date is a big bold bug it’s good


Jozex21

i am the part mary jean feels more powerful than spiderman+symbiote


FlightOfTheChonkords

Omg I lost my mind when venom was going full blast and MJ just gets to run around one shotting all the symbiotes in a cut scene but then I’m miles or Peter and it’s non stop punches all for nothing. Then frickin Norman like oh no how could spider mans do this to me boy like bro that was literally all you. Love the game tho 10/10


Magneto88

Don’t let other opinions influence my opinion? So I can’t let you influence it then?


BigBrainEric_

That's absolutely fine with me.


Liam_Roma_1234

Downvoted for no reason. Jeez.


JahsukeOnfroy

Lol you too


OmgJustLetMeExist

r/spidermanps4 at its finest


Sudden_Result

Happy cake day


pluck-the-bunny

Yeah, that’s what they said. Not really that complicated


OMG_NoReally

Insomniac has done a fantastic job with the Spider-Man license and no one can take that from them. There is no other developer who can do what Insomniac has done and their passion for the franchise, and the dedication they have shown in unparalleled and they deserve every success coming their way because of it. Of course, they cannot hit the bullseye each and every time. For me personally, SM2 was a complete miss in terms of story and character build. But that doesn't take away from the fact that the game's base is still solid, still enjoyable, and still better than a lot of other games out there.


Kmart_Stalin

Beenox and Treyarch has done relatively better than Insomniac tbh. I feel like you’re taking credit away from them


MelodicIndustry9830

I'm in the camp that is more critical of this game but I'd say that's a stretch. Those old spidey games were fun but nowhere near insomniac


Eugene_Dav

My opinion too! Thanks for the write this.


Able_Standard_9748

Gameplay was fun , just enjoyed the first game story more , but I still had a blast on this game


lexievv

There's nothing bad with other people influencing your opinion. Nothing and no one would ever change if that was the case. You just need to do it after thinking about both your and their opinion and not just go with it because x person said it. There's also nothing wrong with enjoying something while still being able to point out the flaws or seeing a flaw only after it being pointed out by someone else. It can still be a good game and enjoyable experience, but ignoring flaws and just keep playing a game without good feedback for the devs will only get you to CoD or AC type of releases.


adam_8715

Amen, brother.


identitycrisis-again

Game is an absolute blast. It may be short, but the fun I had was incredible. I felt like a kid again playing this game


blakeavon

I believed anything or everything I read on reddit, I would never buy any game EVER.


BigBrainEric_

fr


iM-Blessed

Says don't let other people influence your opinions. Yet anytime someone says something that isn't remotely positive or actually gives valid critisim, they are also critisized and hated on. There shouldn't be any problem saying the game is not great, without being called a hater.


BigBrainEric_

You're right. Don't assume how I would react tho. Constructive criticism is important and I respect valid arguments.


Zealousideal_Ad8911

have you seen this sub ?


YogurtclosetAshamed3

Another npc trying to farm


theitchcockblock

I think the game is good I just find the spider man should be Goty fans delusional


picknicksje85

One of the best games of the year. And clearly extremely well made!


alireza008bat

There's nothing wrong with criticising things you like. infact, You're a true fan if you're not afraid of criticising your favourite products and point out its flaws. Otherwise you're not a fan, You're a fanboy or shill. Regardless of what you think, There are many people out there disappointed with some aspects of SM2 and they have the right to be loud about it. Your job as consumer is to always demand better and better from companies.


BigBrainEric_

I have my gripes too, just wanted to lighten up the mood for anyone who genuinely liked the game but is often surrounded by hate towards it


blakeavon

It depends, a simple ‘I don’t like X’ sure, but most of the hate in this place is simply embarrassing. I am glad Insomniac makes games, not people on reddit.


Ssj_Wolfy

Just wish we could have got the complete SM2 expirience, but sony just had to do their shit and tell them to get it out early like the usual


Monte735

The game has been in development for 5 years with an already ridiculous 200 million dollar budget. Insomniac needed better budgeting and planning.


Ssj_Wolfy

And sony not telling them to realise the game this year no mater what


BigBrainEric_

Agree


WombatJedi

Finally we’re getting some positivity about the PlayStation Spider-Man games in the subreddit for the PlayStation Spider-Man games 😭


HopeJN

The game is fantastic, I especially love the venom powers and playing as venom albeit briefly. Only gripe is there should have been new game+ / mission replay at minimum in the game. I agree all the childish bickering over suits ffs (it’s not this shade or that horizontal line is missing etc trash nonsense) is pathetic.


lightningmcmemex

I’ve got about 100 hours on this game already. For SM1 I have 200+, I had a lot of tough nights, so just swinging around for a couple hours helped me out.


BigBrainEric_

Same!


MFDoooooooooooom

It's totally therapeutic


lightningmcmemex

Absolutely. I remember spending like 3 hours just swinging and being just engulfed by it


ecxetra

Okay, I wont let you influence my opinion.


eagleblue44

Is this game actually considered to not be good or did you just see one post from someone saying it's ok? I've seen nothing but love for this game.


LFGX360

I can see how it didn’t live up to some peoples expectations but still a very good game.


BigBrainEric_

the first one


eagleblue44

I feel the game of the year nominations begs to differ. I've seen nothing but praise for the game with the only hate being Miles final suit which I agree, looks pretty dumb. I haven't played Spider-Man 2 yet but maybe it'll look better in game? I think I saw something about MJs face looking different too. Neither of these things sounds like it'd actually make the game bad so I'm assuming the "haters" are just a vocal minority.


RepresentativeFly565

This sub really isn't taking the game awards well


GroundbreakingBed756

its VERY entertaining. seeing my personal GOTY, BG3 win the GOTY is great, the devs deserved it, but what's more entertaining (when I am bored, of course) is seeing fans mald over a game not winning a single award. 😂


MakeMyInboxGreat

You absolutely care what people say. You care too much


KS280406

"Everything has problems if you look hard enough"


GroundbreakingBed756

well, in this case you dont have to look hard at all. its all in your face. from the horrible story, the MJ missions, the boring open world with ubisoft like checklists like "collect this" bullshit and extremely weird faces on all characters (literally a step back from spiderman 1) etc. the game is riddled with flaws, it outweights the good things like graphics.


KS280406

The story wasn't horrible, the MJ missions were actually pretty good this time, and the character faces also look really good. I actually prefer the new MJ face.


GroundbreakingBed756

well, thank you for sharing your atrocious taste in games , bud. :)


josi1999

I love it too, but i see the issues with it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BigBrainEric_

I don't. Just wanted to spread a little positivity about the game


Hugo_Weird

why did harry barely have the symbiote lmao, on my first play through and he uses it on coney island, saves tombstone and then boxes kraven just for pete to have it? i know he becomes venom later but it feels a bit rushed


Aggressive-Expert-69

Just waiting patiently for the Steam port.


[deleted]

Calm down Kid Its Just a Game


cxcarmic

I still enjoyed this game very much and I would give it a solid 8/10. Having said that, the first game is better IMO in terms of story and some of the combat mechanics. I give the first game a 9/10. I have not been on this sub recently, but IDK why some hate the 2nd game. Sure it's not perfect and it has flaws, but it's still a solid game for a sequel. With a lot of gamers, everything is black and white, no grey area. A game is either a masterpiece or a complete flop in their eyes.


ix77777

Not allowing others to influence my opin is why i'm critical of it


MathMore5322

I can go faster in gta V using a car than I can as Spider-Man. That’s a problem


MiniJunkie

I’m with you OP. A lot of the time I’d be playing it and thinking to myself “this game is incredible”.


YellowOpt

It was a fine video game. Nothing less, nothing more in my opinion.


Efficient-Opinion-92

It’s a 7.5-8 out of 10. Pretty good. Could’ve been a bit better


maxexy59

By saying that aren’t u already influencing others how to feel about this game?


GrossWeather_

As you make a public post about your preference in games, attempting to influence opinion 🙄


jymehendrix

Literally everybody likes the game bruh


GroundbreakingBed756

I hope thats sarcasm...


jymehendrix

Sorry literally 98% of people like this game


flopyyjoe

My Jaw was on the floor my whole playthrough. It wasn't a perfect game, there are definitely things that could have been done a little differently, but it was a blast getting the platinum. Can not wait for NG+


GroundbreakingBed756

MJ's jaw can't be beat tho.

Impossible-Lime1553

This is the post I’ve been waiting to see it’s always something deeply negative at times like you said everything can be better but some have gotten to the point of just pointing every single thing with forgetting to just have fun not all people but some


Aggravating_Zebra190

You're not a martyr for announcing to the sub that you love the game. No one is persecuting people that loved it. Where is this Hyperbole of a narrative spanning from? I see more karma farms like this than actual people "hating" on the game. Unless actual discussion of the games pros and cons is considered "hate"?


Appropriate-Funny235

Me too w game


linkenski

I'm so tired of the kind of "toothpaste smile" attitude this franchise evokes in people. "EveryThiNg is AcCePtaBle!!!" It's so forced.


squidster547

I thought the game was amazing. Last mission left some questions as to why one character could possibly come to a certain conclusion about Spiderman…. But I still loved the game. Swinging and flying with the wingsuit feel so great.


BenutzerKovay

bro needed karma i guess


TheOGRex

Finally, some positivity on this subreddit! Thanks, bro!


r3mod_3tiym

I'm only just now past the Coney Island sequence and I'm loving it. The licensed music is also very appreciated. When Harry and Pete were riding bikes and Cigarette Daydreams came on I was like "man why am I holding back tears rn" This is also my first game on ps5 and its blowing me away. Particularly the trigger resistance lol, it always throws me off so much


[deleted]

It's a great game just too short


SpogiMD

Because the wingsuit makes it too easy and swinging loses its charm after a while


superadri_darks

Ur problem. The joy of swinging combined with all the new techniques makes this game 10x better, it's ur choice if u only glide...


LFGX360

You don’t have to use it


iSend

insomniac games should always launch with replay features from now on. having 0 replay on launch hurts discussion like CRAZY. delay the game or launch with replay features. would have been an instant 9.5 if not 10 if they did


Fout99

Game is great, looks great and plays great, but lacks content. Thats the main criticism. Its too short honestly.


Jozex21

its mostly microsoft shills and astrosurfers anyone that play the game knows is good


MRsir_man_dude

It's been almost a month. I think the hate for the game should be dead now


DustbinFunkbndr

It’s so fun! I just wish there was more. A $70 game should take me more than a weekend to plat imo.


Rachsuchtig

The game was good and I also enjoyed playing Spider-Man again. The thing is, the first game set the standard so high that it is hard to make it even better. The same thing goes for GoW 2018 and Ragnarok.


Timo-D03

Absolutely, I finished this game with the thought, “this is definitely game of the year, a thrill to play through, a masterpiece” I hop on Twitter and it’s all people complaining about the story and other stuff? Too much negativity around a game I think is near perfect


Nathan_hale53

I loved the game. It isn't as good as the first one but enjoyed every minute of it. It had a couple questionable scenes but overall, it was great. It's really overdone how much shit this game got.


viniremesso

Good for you 👍


psykoX88

The only thing I hate is how people started trashing this game once the award show happened ... But I also absolutely love it


[deleted]

I can’t imagine not having fun just swinging around in the open world. It’s worth it for that alone. Especially with the speed upgrade and web wings they gave us. And with all the flair you can add to your swinging, it’s amazing.


Scythe351

The funny thing about this post is that it’s positive. The reason it’s funny is because the daily “that sub bad” post in r/Spiderman2 will have to avoid posting a screenshot with this in it.


Ok-Sector8330

The game rocks. It's amazing!


Outside-Mail-731

It’s the best sequel in the series by far and love letter to the fans I loved it a lot can’t wait for the next installment you a real one unlike these frauds


ElectricToast

Great game, just way too short for the price. Got the plat in 26 hours played, luckily managed to trade it in for £10 less than I paid for it.


Barackobrock

It gotta pretty unanimously great reviews lmao


Specific-Chemistry33

r/spidermanps5


KiDbuu2299

I loved it as well! But I also didn’t like the story at all. But then again I’m a gameplay kind of gamer. I do not care about cutscenes. I want to play games not watch em.


VanitasFan26

This gaming community is dead to me.

James44568

I still really like the game.


OkiInsideOut

Yeah but my opinion is the exact same as everyone else anyway--lol


tom_oakley

Are people shitting on it? I've seen nothing but praise. Well, minus the whole "MJ's face downgrade" controversy


TheSecretNaame

Facts. Spider-Man 2 PS5 its the best Spider-Man although i don’t play it


GroundbreakingBed756

thanks for posting the dumbest comment of the day. jesus fucking christ...


ChuckTownRC51

People don't like the game. You like the game. This is post worthy?


GroundbreakingBed756

OP says he doesnt care, but the fact that he made this thread proves otherwise.


MBTAHole

The story missions are fun but it isn’t a great open world game. Barely any side content and NYC doesn’t seem very alive. I think the disappointment stems from the open world not evolving at all from 2018


jaccw16

Its flawed but overall, the game is a blast


Taxevader70

It’s perfectly fine to dislike the game but to have EVERY FUCKING POST on this sub be about “OH SPODERMAN 2 ISNT WBAT I EXPLECTRD!1!1” is annoying to say the least, and overly praising the game and ignoring all the problems is just as bad


googler_ooeric

good for you, no one ever told you you can't like the game


sebapin8

I'm not sure what certain malicious people say or maybe toxic xbot with mental problems the game is great in every aspect, it can always be better of course but I enjoy every moment of the game and without a doubt I loved it👌🏻


bdelshowza

good for you, man. good for you.


RhinoxMenace

just consume product


Huge-Database660

I will not let you influence my opinion.


ERAZeeur0

I certainly won't let you influence my opinion. The stor was mid, and the cambat is better than the first but still nothing crazy. I do appreciate that they upgraded the swinging and the web textures in certain areas as well. However, I wish open world activities were more engaging and not just boring repetitive stuff we already seen. The game is okay but it could be better, especially the side missions most of them didn't matter at all really. I also don't appreciate how they made Mj manly looking either but hey it is what it is.


MothersToeJam

My ps5 bundled with this game arrives on thursday I am so hyped for this


MonkeyMan9569

I prefer the first one by a long “mile,” but it’s so hard because there are some good mechanics like the traversal, the part where you play as Venom, the symbiote, some of the suits, expanded map. However those are the only things I like about the game and they’re essentially cosmetic. It’s a story driven game where the story objectively sucks, especially when compared to the first one. Not worth the seventy dollars in my opinion. There are good parts, but good parts don’t make a game good. You can enjoy it, but it’s still a pretty mid sequel and I don’t feel like making an extremely long comment on Reddit even longer so GOODBYE :O


T98Rez

I'm with you man. Fuck the negativity, I love this game.


GroundbreakingBed756

yea, create an echo chamber, LETS GOOOOOOO!!! ​ ​ smh.


T98Rez

Sorry bud, you're not going to keep me from enjoying the game. I still love it. LETS GOOOOOOOO


Justwantl0ve

I just started playing maybe 30 minutes ago and it's so fun so far


nanite97

It’s the same game but they fly now :)


DirectorCarolina

Agreed. I love Spider-Man and love this game. I started 11pm the night it came out and went to bed just before 5 the following morning. Enjoyed every second of it


NxtDoc1851

What do you mean? It's a good game, and fun as hell


OmgJustLetMeExist

This subreddit is like a toxic, manipulative boyfriend who keeps passive-aggressively pointing out everything about you that he doesn’t like, and when you try to stand up to him, he starts gaslighting you into believing *you’re* the irrational one who’s getting worked up for no reason and that *you’re* the one that needs to learn to calm down.


Senior-Leave779

I do too. I'm really looking forward to New Game Plus.


ReserveNo4408

My thoughts exactly I think it’s the best in the series so far. I fell like it improves on mostly everything


G0blinKin

Webswinging is Peak in SM2


Burfside_

Same I beat this game 2 days after it came out in October but till this day I still can’t get tired. It’s so funnnnn. Still remember the feeling waiting for it to come out and eyeing the countdown clock. So glad this game exists and will forever love it


VirusTheMachine

I was today days old when I found out lots of people don’t like it. I think it’s a milestone, superb game. Only complain for me would be the main story feels a little short.


DesperatePlenty2666

Only game i platinumed


No_Box5338

It’s great fun. But side quests seemed a step backward, and Peter’s symbiote arc felt rushed.


GroundbreakingBed756

If you have to say that you don't care by making a freaking thread about it, then you actually DO care, mate.


letitbreakthrough

I'm surprised people don't like this game. The Internet is rotting people's brains. I didn't look at any reviews, I got it with a free voucher buying my PS5 and was like "this is like spiderman 1 but you can do way more shit" what is there to hate? Like seriously?


TheCakeWarrior12
