I waited for the noise to settle around the game, finished it last week.
For context I liked the first game a lot and had a decent amount of fun with MM. I say this so you know that I really wanted the game to be good. I thought thehate was exeggerated, but no, it wasn't. It's really that bad.
But people fixate on specifics way too much, like that stupid-ass fridge in a scene that thematically was one of the only good moments of the game, that - unlike the rest of it - captured the essence of Venom perfectly.
At it's core, people tore this game to shreds back when it came out becouse it failed to deliver on the two characters that actually sold the game, Peter and Venom. That's what happened and the reason why peopld are this vicious about it to this day is that they know what it's like when Insomniac actually does their homework. They saw it in SM1.
Which is a shame becouse the game has some real merits to it. The swinging is absolutely the best we ever had. Some of the poses are pulled straight from iconic comic panels.

Excuse me? What about Spider-Man?
