Alright, so you know all of that massive damage that Electro caused that might have killed a bunch of people and made a big hole in the street?
Yeah, there's nothing there. They literally added no sort of damage to the map. Go Activision.
On my way to the next mission, I gathered over 350 tokens to get level 7. Seriously, they have this many tokens in this game. Anyway, one thing that's different now is that SHIELD troops are overrunning the city. They have tanks that drive around and fire... for no reason. Seriously, they'll fire for no reason when nothing is around. Anyway, they fight bad guys. Now, I could try to be an achievement whore here and do all of the optional missions (Save 10 civillians, defeat 150 of Kingpin's men, find and defeat 20 hidden symbiotes), but I don't think even SHINE would have the patience for that s***. I'm starting with the next mission which ends Act 2/3.
Oh my god, we actually get to hear Kingpin now, and he has the absolute worst voice acting. XD I'm showing off this video, because it is just absolutely f***ing hilarious. He wants to cross a bridge to get out of the city, but SHIELD won't let him. He asks why Richards or Stark aren't here now to save the day. So what does Spider-Man do? He decides to try calling them THROUGH THEIR BUSINESS LINES. He calls Richards first, and he can't get a hold of him because he's in space. He called the Baxter Tower, btw. Then he calls Stark Industries. Really. And he hangs up and says that if Tony Stark could make it, he would! So then he tries Hank McCoy... and nothing. He says he'll call Hank Pym, but then says "Naaaah." And so who does he call? Mary Jane Watson. He calls her to tell her that he's going to break the Tinkerer out of jail so he can make a bomb that only kills symbiotes and doesn't kill humans. Actually, let me quote the game here. "Hey MJ, I'm going to break an evil mastermind out of jail to create a bomb to kill all the symbiotes." Literally, he says this. Mary Jane doesn't say anything, and Spidey says "...I'm going to be breaking the law." To which MJ just says to do whatever he needs to.
So what happens next? Moon Knight appears and says that his cell phone isn't a secure line. And then Vulture comes out of nowhere to complain that Spider-Man didn't ask him to help. Moon Knight says he can't break anyone out of prison because it's against the law. Vulture encourages him to do it. So it's CHOICE TIME. Spider-Man says he'll be breaking into the prison regardless. So then we choose... Moon Knight or Vulture, I guess. ...Yeah, I don't know. I pick good. So... I am flown there by Moon Knight, who was completely opposed to this before, and he says "Good luck Spider-Man! The power of Khonshu is at your side!" before flying away. Now I'm on Ryker's Island.
Kingpin's Cutscene: (Starts at 0:20)
Now, let's just consider how unbelievably f***ed up this is.
1) Spider-Man doesn't get the idea to have someone concoct a way to stop the symbiotes until MOTHER F***ING KINGPIN TELLS HIM TO.
2) Spider-Man calls these super heroes through their business lines.
3) Spider-Man goes through like five of them, and doesn't even act on calling Hank Pym.
4) Spider-Man decides the ONLY way he can stop these symbiotes is by getting help from THE TINKERER of all people.
5) Spider-Man decides that The Tinkerer is the only scientist he can find in New York, even among other villains in New York that AREN'T in jail right now.
6) Spider-Man calls MJ to tell her he's going to break the law by breaking out a super villain.
7) Moon Knight is completely opposed to this, then still helps Spider-Man out despite having him at arrow-point before and wishes him good luck.
WHAT THE F*** GAME? NO SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE F***? I'm almost out of characters, but I'll still be playing.
