For me, the best part is later after the two of them beat Hammerhead. They shake hands with each other, only for Spider-Man to open his arms for a hug causing Sable to walk away. That part kills me every time I see it.
I fast travelled a lot on my NG+ play through of miles morales because it was literally immediately after I played the story for the first time which I did in like 8 hours and was kinda tired of the long traveling between some missions
@@therealvaultyvaulty I did the same, once I finished my first play through 100%, I just wanted to finish it up for the platinum, so I just basically did a speed run in 4 hours
I’ve always wondered if Spider-Man ever ended up “doing it” with Black Cat. The Heist implied that they did at one point, and it’s been stuck in my head ever since.
@@ThatBoyAqua exactly. Peter has radioactive semen. But I’m pretty sure Spider-Man: Reign was in a different timeline so it’s not canon. Plus, Mayday Parker was Peter and MJ’s daughter, again from another timeline.
The dual takedown definitely exists, it's super hard to get but you have to have your partner stood in the right position. There's a Sable one but also a Black Cat one when you fight the big group of Maggia thugs
I actually have a playlist for when I sleep on long form game reviews and Aqua’s in particular are some of the most enjoyable on them. Dude’s voice is clear and the lack of visuals isn’t an issue
This version of Black Cat might be my favourite outside of the comics, with Spectacular Spider-Man, Spider-man The Animated Series and the Spider-man 2 the video game and Web of Shadows being honorable mentions. Erica Lindbeck killed it playing Black Cat (like Jessie in FF7 Remake).
I know this video was shorter and not as in-depth as my usual videos, but this one was just made to get my thoughts out there. I'm not necessarily challenging any popular opinions or going super deep into it. The next video will be on InFAMOUS Festival of Blood, which should be around the same length as this video. Just to clarify, when I said that I am feeling complacent, it’s not that I want to stop reviewing stuff, I don’t. I have just stopped pushing myself to do better. I feel that the last few videos of mine have been very formulaic and I want to continue trying new stuff within the realm of video critiques and essays. Apologies if it came across as me saying that I’m bored of video essays. Take care guys
Hey aqua, I was wondering if you’d be interested in reviewing another PlayStation exclusive, Ghost of Tsushima. Reviews for it either Harold it as the best game on the PS4 or the most boring slog of a PlayStation exclusive. I feel like it’s somewhere in between. I feel it gets a lot of undeserved praise but it’s still a good game, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on it. Also it being often compared to ac odyssey I thought it’d be right up your alley.
Aqua easily has some of the best reviews. Dude is so thorough and explicit with the finer details he’ll put stuff into perspective that you may have noticed but didn’t give much thought to but because he pointed it out, it makes you appreciate what the game was offering. Kinda shocked this channel hasn’t blown up yet but I’m glad to have discovered this gem early.🔥🔥 content bro
I REALLY liked how the costumes that come with each dlc need to be unlocked by completing the dlc AND 100% completing them. Insomniac encouraged us to see all the DLCs had to offer by making the costumes locker behind their campaigns
@@Carlos.Oliveira.Fan. there is a lot od things to do, before you reach 100%. Unlocking the suit after the is nothing to do with is like not having the suit at all
@@gamefan987that only applies to one suit though. For every suit except the into the spiderverse suit(the one you get for 100% completion on the last dlc) theres always stuff to do. There’s also new game plus.
@@gamefan987Can't you take the suit into new game+ or does it have some weird restriction? If you can take it into new game plus, at least it's better than the Batman suit you get for %240ing the game. You literally can't take that one into new game plus cause you need to 100% NG+ to unlock it.
Aqua: Serious commentary about how attention is able to corrupt people without them understanding what their actions are doing to the people around them Aqua immediately after said commentary: 15:07 Great video, just thought that was too funny not to mention
10:48 “They felt like the fight was ridiculous and outside the realm of realism.” In a game where you a man with spider powers and a villain who can give his henchmen demon powers. Not to mention the other villains with unrealistic abilities. But Hammerhead was just TOO RIDICULOUS LOL.
That mission where you are chancing down some vehicles while silver sable was in Jet chancing them down as well, was a really cool and fun mission. Felt like something out of gta, as if Spider-Man jumped into a random GTA online session lol. I loved that mission.
I massively appreciate how you review and discuss games without stating your thoughts with a dogmatic undertone as so many others do. Your work is incredible, man! Always excited to see more
I’m my opinion, I genuinely enjoyed all the dlcs although the one with Black Cat was the best. Could’ve been better, but it helped build up the story for Miles Morales and ultimately the next spider man game. I enjoyed the video!
The moment you said "Y'know what we need? The Spot" I instinctively left a like. I would kill to see him come back. I always loved his character and his ability. If Spiderman 2 gets a Spot side mission, I'd love that
Honestly man, you do what you're most comfortable with and what you know you'll put the most effort into at the moment. I really enjoyed today's review and your past few uploads. You like, enjoy, and have the same amount of passion for games that I myself love and that's why I always come back to your channel because I know it's going to be an honest review with great detail knowing how much you enjoy these games. So whether the next video is on Blood Festival or Sleeping Dogs (which I will be WAITING for) or even something else, just know that I myself and your other loyal viewers will be here waiting for you. Keep up the great work Aqua
22:49, Yuri’s decent into brutal vigilantism in the name of “justice” also continues the trend of loss and vengeance (more commonly, some form of selfishness or ego) turning Peter and Mile’s allies villainous. Just like Phin later on, Yuri is motivated by feelings of weakness over the failure to prevent the death of her allies that she compensates for with violence and other acts of savagery in an attempt to reclaim a sense of strength and control. Not to diminish the intention or potential benefits of eliminating criminals beyond redemption or rehabilitation, but both Miles and Peter similarly suffer instances of loss and weakness, but ground themselves by focusing on others rather than themselves, being a part of the community they fight for rather than individuals doing what they believe is best for everyone without actually considering the perspectives or wellfare of others. It’s humility and compassion that keep them from letting their powers or their weaknesses corrupt them, as we see with Martin, Otto and Phin, who needlessly endanger others in their pursuit of “justice” and in Phin’s case, without even having the clarity to realize it until she was put into a position of needing to sacrifice herself to prevent it. In fact, Phin’s actions in particular ultimately accomplishing nothing as Krieger would’ve been able to salvage the situation in his favor until Miles indirectly convinced his uncle (more specifically, getting him to look beyond his rigid, self-serving cynicism for the sake of helping others) to testify against and expose Krieger. With Venom in play next game, it would be interesting to see if they continue this trend of corruption with Harry and maybe even Peter if Venom bonds to him (maybe exposing and amplifying lingering feelings of betrayal at the hands of Martin and Otto, making him lose his ability to trust Miles and MJ or empathize with others, especially his enemies.)
This is the best review of the DLC on youtube by far, Insomniac need to see it and hear what you have to say because it will make subsequent games better for it! Here's an idea, instead of an essay in this format why don't you try doing something where you are focusing on the small moments in a game that on their own don't add much but together really elevate the whole thing, you touched on things like that in this video but maybe one where its a bit shorter and you do a montage of these moments/features/details and show how you think the levels/scenarios would be worse off if they didnt have these things. I think thats usually a problem with sequels is that they drill down improve a lot of things but by doing so leave some of the tiny details in the dust and it ends up making you pine for the less complex but older title in the series. Sometimes I think the tiny details are more important that anything else and its what I remember for years afterwards. Max Payne 3 is like this for me, there are so many little moments or bits of writing that elevate it a higher plane and make me want to replay it forever. A lot of the stuff is missable, so I think it would great for you to make a video examining the stuff a lot of people might miss. Apologies if thats something you've already done but I'm relatively new to the channel and I'm just watching your new content rather than going back through the archive. Anyway, hope that helps you in some way, and as others have said you are a brilliant creator and you should have a zero or two on the end of that sub count based on the quality of your work.
Your channel and snoman gaming are two channels that I love. Every video is crazy good and always what I’ve been looking for. I really hope you get the attention you deserve because your are crazy under rated
I actually really like the parts where Peter says that there’s time to patrol. It kind of tells you when he would canonically be doing the side-missions.
It is. It adds a nice bit of flavor to it as well. Like he’s saying he has to wait for someone to contact him so he’ll swing around stopping crime and protecting citizens
The fact that Spider-Man is solving the differential equation of a pendulum in his head every time he swings from a webline blows my mind. Especially when you realize there’s at most a few seconds in between swings, he can tell the length of his web lines just by eyeballing it and he is often dodging bullets, lightning bolts, rockets, chasing bad guys and doing all sorts of other things while doing it.
Bro. This DLC was longer than I was expecting. Ngl. I like this DLC more than the arkham game's DLC. Sadly, I jumped into it immediately after bearing the main game. Had a fun time, but it's like eating a good pizza and then going for some more. My enjoyment of this wonderful super hero game was burned out.
@@sh_2426 2 years late, but Arkham Knight had playable character DLCs that were like, 20-40 minutes max with barley any story substance at all, if any. They obviously wanted to add more playable characters to Arkham for more unique AR challenges, but had to justify it to WB executives by making you pay $10 a pack for them (probably has dropped dramatically by now, though). It also had main game DLC that added around 4 new side quests, all of which are very short, only one of them containing story worth watching. When you compare this to Spider-Mans DLC, they are extremely short and have close to no substance in them. Like, the fact that Spiderman gets to **talk** to Sable and Blackcat for long periods (by Arkham standards) of time makes this DLC leagues better and longer than anything Arkham offered, sadly.
@@Miriam_J_ responding 2 years later but I really preferred the Arkham dlc over Spider-Man. The story’s in those dlc were just far more appealing to me than Spider-Man’s. But to be fair I haven’t played them in a while so maybe I have to just refresh my memory.
Thanks for always being so supportive Devin! I may not respond to every comment but I want you to know that I see them and I appreciate them a lot ❤️❤️
@@ThatBoyAqua Of course! I love your vids so much and it is clear how much effort you put in and how passionate you are. Every time you upload it makes my day, so it is the least I can do. ♥️ P.S: I definitely think you are right about the cat in the tree symbolism. There is no way that wasn't intended.
I agree with this. This game and it's DLC are just great. Granted, that final hammerhead fight took forever for me to get (probably because I'd taken a break before doing the DLC). Also, I burst out laughing at the comment about The Spot after seeing Across the Spiderverse.
I appreciate someone who didn’t just talk basics you talked every nook and cranny and I love that man keep up this content also I love the Arkham analysis too
I’ve been up all night watching your videos and I can say you got a sub, you’re critical thinking and observation not only that but being able to just get to the details and then give a short burst of your opinion even if they are long sometimes I find myself agreeing with them.
I was scrolling through your channel and I realized that I hadn’t finished this video almost near the end of it and I just think that it’s hilarious how you said that we need The Spot as a villain 😂 24:21
Not gonna lie, I was hoping for Miles Morales, but I'll watch any video you put out and would rather you pursue something that makes you feel again. "You've got this spark in you, it's amazing. But it's yours, and whatever you do with it, you'll be great." Looking forward to your next one, Aqua.
I’m going to do Miles Morales for sure but what I meant is that I became complacent and I have stopped trying to improve. I for sure want to continue making reviews but I more importantly want to strive to be better than my last video. Sorry if I didn’t communicate that properly.
@@ThatBoyAqua oh yeah, I meant more like your Sleeping Dogs video. I've never played it but would love to hear about it. I already played Miles Morales, so I don't mind waiting on that video, as long as it means you get to pursue a topic that sparks that enjoyment again.
I ADORED Yuri’s plot in this dlc. Seeing her fall from grace play out in front of us was shocking, and the way it tied into her obsession and career surrounding Hammerhead was outstanding. It didn’t feel sudden; it really felt like she was just pushed over the edge.
From a first time experience, I can safely say i enjoyed it. I believe that insomniac’s Philosophy is about Quality versus quantity. The DLC wasn’t very long, nor was it very time consuming or difficult to do, but simply fun, and overall important to the lore of the story. The problem with DLC’s is that they don’t always feel very important to the main story and doesn’t really affect the main story at all, But after what happened to Yuri- the saddest character development in the game, I knew this DLC was different. Wish we would have seen DLC for Miles Morales as well, but their focusing all their attention to making Spider-man 2, wish i’m happy.
I have a feeling that Felicia wasn't lying about having a son. In the main game, Peter and M.J. were split up for 6 months (a comic tie-in establishes Peter dated Felicia shortly after his break-up, but those comics do take certain liberties with the story, so take it with a grain of salt). The DLC takes place at least 3 months after the main game (as the post-credits scene with Peter and M.J. at Mick's after she is promoted to associate editor establishes). In total, 9 months, which makes it entirely possible for Felicia to have gotten pregnant and given birth. And she did say it wasn't a lie, but a "misdirection". Just because she lied about Hammerhead having her son captive, doesn't mean she doesn't have a son at all
Rewatching this in 2023 and seeing him mention The Spot is pretty funny. Who woulda thought they'd actually bring that relic of a villain back better than ever.
21:26 i mean yeah if one small part of your body is stuck and stops you from moving at all and you look up only to see a spider slowly walk on over to you emotionless like that you’d probably shit yourself cause you couldn’t do anything too huh?
I was honestly waiting for you to mention the mission with the mechanic that Peter doesn't have his suit and you have to find a back alley so you can climb up high enough to not be recognised when you start swinging.
Before the remaster made Peter look younger, I thought Peter looked tired and how I would have expected the life of Spider-Man to have or treated him. But for reasons I won't get into on a UA-cam comment, I've gone through some of the financial struggles that he had and been in a similar professional standing. Now that Peter looks my age, I actually feel myself relating more to him. Obviously not in the superhero standing but in the personal standing that was never in the forefront of the game but was still clearly depicted. While the exhausted look I think still fit nicely, I think it's nice that Peter will be made to look so much younger to give the idea of you don't know how life has affected somebody even at a younger age.
Loved the new bases. Especially the style on the Turf Wars bases. The Silver Linings bases were actually still challenging after topping off all of Spidey's skills and gadgets, which is hard to say for any of the other side content( the only thing that makes Screwball challenges still a challenge are trying to get the photobombs ).
At this point I don’t even play Spider man for combat or story, I just really fucking love swinging. It’s like AC unity’s parkour, by far the best part of the game. The timing, the combos you can use to gain speed, it’s way too much fun for my good. I haven’t slept in 7 months just cause I love swinging.
I think that Tag-Team takedown finisher with Sable you're thinking of is just the cutscene where he throws her at a guy after you take down all the enemies
Sable reluctantly high fiving peter is my favorite part of not only the DLC but the game.
"Ow... but... yeah."
And the way he says that it hurts. Yeah this is the dudes in my school in a nutshell.
That scene was easily the best in the game. Had me dying laughing
For me, the best part is later after the two of them beat Hammerhead. They shake hands with each other, only for Spider-Man to open his arms for a hug causing Sable to walk away. That part kills me every time I see it.
that wasn’t a high five, she straight up SLAMMED him
The fact that barely anyone fast travels in this game is a testament to how good the swinging is 🙌🏽
I literally just now found out you can fast travel
Only fast travelled once cause a glitch that the final screwball mission didn’t load
I fast travelled a lot on my NG+ play through of miles morales because it was literally immediately after I played the story for the first time which I did in like 8 hours and was kinda tired of the long traveling between some missions
I fast travelled alot collecting all the bases, oscorp rooms, photos and challenges, no way was i swinging to every corner
@@therealvaultyvaulty I did the same, once I finished my first play through 100%, I just wanted to finish it up for the platinum, so I just basically did a speed run in 4 hours

Like, the fact that Spiderman gets to **talk** to Sable and Blackcat for long periods (by Arkham standards) of time makes this DLC leagues better and longer than anything Arkham offered, sadly.
@@Miriam_J_ responding 2 years later but I really preferred the Arkham dlc over Spider-Man. The story’s in those dlc were just far more appealing to me than Spider-Man’s. But to be fair I haven’t played them in a while so maybe I have to just refresh my memory.
Great video aqua! I loved the video and mostly agree with you. I can't wait to see how they expand it in the next game. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for always being so supportive Devin! I may not respond to every comment but I want you to know that I see them and I appreciate them a lot ❤️❤️
@@ThatBoyAqua Of course! I love your vids so much and it is clear how much effort you put in and how passionate you are. Every time you upload it makes my day, so it is the least I can do. ♥️
P.S: I definitely think you are right about the cat in the tree symbolism. There is no way that wasn't intended.
I agree with this. This game and it's DLC are just great. Granted, that final hammerhead fight took forever for me to get (probably because I'd taken a break before doing the DLC).
Also, I burst out laughing at the comment about The Spot after seeing Across the Spiderverse.
bro called out the spot 2 years before it happened
My man how did u call the spot coming back
When black cat just swoops I’m outta no where and grabs Spider-Man had me dying XDD
I appreciate someone who didn’t just talk basics you talked every nook and cranny and I love that man keep up this content also I love the Arkham analysis too
I’ve been up all night watching your videos and I can say you got a sub, you’re critical thinking and observation not only that but being able to just get to the details and then give a short burst of your opinion even if they are long sometimes I find myself agreeing with them.
Your reviews are the best, really open minded, fair and unbiased, see the strongs and the weaks of a game, great work
It is so funny watching this today with the joke about the spot.
24:20 bro you did not do this
I was scrolling through your channel and I realized that I hadn’t finished this video almost near the end of it and I just think that it’s hilarious how you said that we need The Spot as a villain 😂 24:21
Not gonna lie, I was hoping for Miles Morales, but I'll watch any video you put out and would rather you pursue something that makes you feel again.
"You've got this spark in you, it's amazing. But it's yours, and whatever you do with it, you'll be great."
Looking forward to your next one, Aqua.
I’m going to do Miles Morales for sure but what I meant is that I became complacent and I have stopped trying to improve. I for sure want to continue making reviews but I more importantly want to strive to be better than my last video. Sorry if I didn’t communicate that properly.
@@ThatBoyAqua oh yeah, I meant more like your Sleeping Dogs video. I've never played it but would love to hear about it. I already played Miles Morales, so I don't mind waiting on that video, as long as it means you get to pursue a topic that sparks that enjoyment again.
4:02 there’s a dababy with the other ads and I thought I was tripping
The only dlc I’ve ever purchased right away at full price! Loved every second
Mine was the Ark Genesis pass
I ADORED Yuri’s plot in this dlc. Seeing her fall from grace play out in front of us was shocking, and the way it tied into her obsession and career surrounding Hammerhead was outstanding. It didn’t feel sudden; it really felt like she was just pushed over the edge.
4:00 LESSSS GOOOOOOO!👉😁👈
Thank god someone else saw it, I thought I was losing my mind
Let's gooooooooo
This game was the very first game that I actually 100% all of the DLC and Main game, fantastic review
Not even kidding, I think a boss fight against the Spot would be super cool and fun. If the Spot isn't in the next game in this series, we riot.
From a first time experience, I can safely say i enjoyed it. I believe that insomniac’s Philosophy is about Quality versus quantity. The DLC wasn’t very long, nor was it very time consuming or difficult to do, but simply fun, and overall important to the lore of the story. The problem with DLC’s is that they don’t always feel very important to the main story and doesn’t really affect the main story at all, But after what happened to Yuri- the saddest character development in the game, I knew this DLC was different. Wish we would have seen DLC for Miles Morales as well, but their focusing all their attention to making Spider-man 2, wish i’m happy.
Watch Dogs Legion has been updated, noted.
That spot joke did not age well
10:01 is hilarious Like litterally the funniest thing ive seen ever
You got the spot
Can we appreciate that aqua effectively called the spot the villain of the week
I definitely feel the city that never sleeps was worth it, considering I only paid 5 extra bucks for it compared to the base game
turf war was by far my favorite. it was so much darker than the others which i just love. especially the opening part with yuri's men getting killed
I have a feeling that Felicia wasn't lying about having a son. In the main game, Peter and M.J. were split up for 6 months (a comic tie-in establishes Peter dated Felicia shortly after his break-up, but those comics do take certain liberties with the story, so take it with a grain of salt). The DLC takes place at least 3 months after the main game (as the post-credits scene with Peter and M.J. at Mick's after she is promoted to associate editor establishes). In total, 9 months, which makes it entirely possible for Felicia to have gotten pregnant and given birth.
And she did say it wasn't a lie, but a "misdirection". Just because she lied about Hammerhead having her son captive, doesn't mean she doesn't have a son at all
One of the few DLCs I have actually bought and felt like I got a fair value. I normally dislike DLC. Great video!
4:01 So we just gon ignore dababy in the background in the right😂
2 years later I comment in spider man 2 there are rings that you go through while having web wings active and the rigs give you a speed boost
I would argue that if you can not mention mecha hammerhead without laughing. It is beyond the reality set in the game. Beyond that good video.
All jokes aside, The Spot would probably be a very trippy boss fight if he’s done right.
Rewatching this in 2023 and seeing him mention The Spot is pretty funny. Who woulda thought they'd actually bring that relic of a villain back better than ever.
21:26 i mean yeah if one small part of your body is stuck and stops you from moving at all and you look up only to see a spider slowly walk on over to you emotionless like that you’d probably shit yourself cause you couldn’t do anything too huh?
Canada’s two best exports:
1. Crown Royal
2. Aqua, not to be confused with water.
Next video hint @ 16:06
I am SO glad I’m not the only one who thought mecha Hammerhead was a bit strange lol
Great review! Tbh, I think Peter was more like an older brother figure to Miles as opposed to him being a father figure.
24:19 , little did he know . . .
I was honestly waiting for you to mention the mission with the mechanic that Peter doesn't have his suit and you have to find a back alley so you can climb up high enough to not be recognised when you start swinging.
Same
4:01 LETS GOOOOO
Before the remaster made Peter look younger, I thought Peter looked tired and how I would have expected the life of Spider-Man to have or treated him. But for reasons I won't get into on a UA-cam comment, I've gone through some of the financial struggles that he had and been in a similar professional standing. Now that Peter looks my age, I actually feel myself relating more to him. Obviously not in the superhero standing but in the personal standing that was never in the forefront of the game but was still clearly depicted. While the exhausted look I think still fit nicely, I think it's nice that Peter will be made to look so much younger to give the idea of you don't know how life has affected somebody even at a younger age.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who followed the pattern of “everything is irrelevant, I must finish this” when it came to the expansions.
Is nobody gonna comment on DaBaby in Times Square? I fucken wheezed when I noticed that
Where? Timestamp?
@@brookswilliams5239 4:00, look on the left
I love this game, really want to sink a load more time into this and Miles again when I can get a ps5
Loved the new bases.
Especially the style on the Turf Wars bases.
The Silver Linings bases were actually still challenging after topping off all of Spidey's skills and gadgets, which is hard to say for any of the other side content( the only thing that makes Screwball challenges still a challenge are trying to get the photobombs ).
At this point I don’t even play Spider man for combat or story, I just really fucking love swinging. It’s like AC unity’s parkour, by far the best part of the game. The timing, the combos you can use to gain speed, it’s way too much fun for my good. I haven’t slept in 7 months just cause I love swinging.
I think that Tag-Team takedown finisher with Sable you're thinking of is just the cutscene where he throws her at a guy after you take down all the enemies
They put into the spiderverse skin behind 100% of the last one so I didn’t get to use it until NG+
