I think I've never played a video game where the ending so perfectly describes my own feelings, I genuinely burst out laughing the 1st time I seen it because it was so appropriate, the ending was already bad anyways, literally just a single frame of Spider-Man's face, the same frame used for all other cutscenes in the whole thing, which would already be lazy and underwhelming enough, but this dialogue... I mean, they knew what they had made here, and how bad it was, this is how all of the players who bought this back in the day and finished it somehow, or masochists like me who tried it out nowadays due to curiosity, felt here.

It's so weird that this one was so bad though, it's a licensed title published by LJN, which I know is a major red flag, but the 1st installment, made by Rare, was a competent sidescrolling beat 'em up for the time and hardware, and the 2nd one, that was made by Bits Studios, who also made the 3rd one, was a surprisingly decent MetroidVania, it's odd how this one scrapped that formula, despite it working quite well for the character last time. I wouldn't mind going back to a level to level style though, it also works just fine for an IP like this, I just can't forgive the awful control this one has, I felt like I was fighting the controls all of the time.

I'm not going to say the 1st installment by Rare controlled particularly well... but it worked. I'm not going to say the 2nd installment controlled all that well either... but it also worked, jumping felt fine and Spider-Man's weight and response in that wasn't an issue, did Bits Studios forget how to make proper control from one year to another or something? Anyways, I don't even know why I decided to post this, maybe this can be a general Spider-Man thread, or a funny/bad endings one, maybe even a bad controls thread, I don't know, I just though this ending was funny and wanted to share my pain... what a disappointing sequel.

Lmao that ending is like if the Mega Man X ending had zero build-up or effort.

That's hilarious, what a downer ending! The team must've really hated making the game, if they made the 2nd one too they must've been under a shitty contract or something.

You're not funny and never have been.

Surely the devs lifted that from some Spiderman comic.

Hey, you're right!
Anyways, it's still funny that such a miserable video game would have an ending that represents the players' feelings so accurately.
