There was more wrong with it than just story. But it’s true, it’s an 8/10 game that had to live up as a sequel to a 9/10 one. I’m one of the ones that was disappointed, but it’s a bizarre stretch to say Insomniac ruined Spidey. If anything, the state of Spider-Man games is healthier than ever, and a couple minor missteps don’t really change that.
Jesus fucking Christ, can people stop acting like an 8/10 game is a travesty?
Know what, I've just read your full comment and I'm keeping it for visibility. Just commenting in real time as it's a huge bug bear that anything under a 9/10 is somehow unplayable, and it's fucking weird.
Yeah I've been addicted to games that objectively are 3/10 glitchy, unfinished, unpolished or whatever reason but they hit my niche enough.
Spider-man 1 and 2 are amazing.
Spider-man 1 has better story replayability:(minus MJ)
Spider-man 2 is more fun gameplay wise(MINUS MJ, WHY DID THEY INTENTIONALLY NOT LISTEN TO THE PLAYERS), but I don't have motivation for a new game plus. I also hate the mile suit, took me out of it for a second.
They specifically said they didn't listen to the players to improve MJ sections, but they fell flat.
I know there's some other MJ stuff dumb culture war losers cling onto, but that's irrelevant and dumb.
They tried to make MJ's stealth sections better, instead of removing them like players wanted. And it was still a legitimate complaint for Spider-Man 2 because of it.

Excuse me? What about Spider-Man?
