I’ve got about 10 hours under my belt and have seen zero glitches of any sort.
Are these problems from the digital version (I have the disc) or maybe non-americas region?
edit: I see dorks throwing out shit like “unpolished” and “broken”, of which the game is obviously neither. Guess this is just trolling/shitposting/fud.

With the bugs that it has. Is anyone mad at those that are buying it?

Haven’t have these bugs yesterday but I do have missing audio after the rollercoaster segment when I played yesterday for 3 hours

The inconsistency in assets is real, Insomniac is going to need to do a few patches or not. New Assets look amazing but the copy and paste job is evident and can't be ignored.
This gum pack looks amazing at max zoom as a new asset, so much so that you can read the nutritional facts.
sticky notes are a mess except Happy birthday mijo
This label is good, the box itself not so much but it holds up.
The fridge magnets look clear, great!
The cans and marinara look bad
These labels look like they came straight from San Andreas
That Buckwheat looks good but OMG those Banana's
New doorknob
Old
Im showing all of this not to throw shade at Insomniac but because the talent is there to make this a consistent looking game and there's a lot to be desired to truly make this game look like a real PS5 exclusive, so much for DF doing their work....

99% of the buyers won't even notice a single bug. It's just the usual forum dweller freakshow.

Not busy enough to start this thread
(will leave general MS, Disney, etc… stuff to the OT forums). I am playing Mario Wonder as well, but I am not suggesting you have an axe to grind against Nintendo .

Well. It's pretty clear that Sony reaaaaaly wanted that sweet Holiday window for this game.Finished Spider-Man 2 last night, and it's seriously great. Better than both the original and Miles, and Insomniac did an AMAZING job melding two iconic late-80s Spider-Man stories while including modern canon elements to make it familiar to current comic readers. They seriously made a better Kraven movie than Sony Pictures will, and it's inspired by one of the greatest Kraven stories of all time. Despite one brief moment in the third act where I was fearing the pacing would go down a TLOU2 LA drudge, it didn't and the ending was great. They nailed the dual-protagonist sequel so many other developers fail at (looking at you, Atreus levels).
But the game is broken, even with the day one patch. It's super frustrating because from the first Uncharted until now I've NEVER played a first-party Sony AAA release this broken. They used to be close to Nintendo perfection, but this is really bad.
It really feels like the game needed another 4-6 months in the oven. Like it was really meant to be an early 2024 release (Feb/March), but was rushed out for holiday 2023 because they didn't have anything else big this year.
Bugs I ran into from beginning to end:
Hard crashes to the dash. Just swinging around New York. Random times.
Frozen controls. Mostly when it transitions from a cut scene to gameplay and often if there's a prompt on screen for a specific move. Have to reload a checkpoint to progress.
Both Peter and Miles spinning like Michael Jackson when trying to interact with a box/POI (the triangle prompt):
Enemies getting stuck in cars/buses and they can't be killed to complete the crime POI.
Enemies getting stuck under the ground, causing you to reload the checkpoint and restart the whole encounter (happened to me at Coney Island, one robo dog was stuck under the ground).
Those T-stuck animations.
There are certain enviromental things late in the game (spoilers to describe them) that can cause Peter or Miles to get stuck, again causing a checkpoint reload.
No matter what.

You see what passes for 'journalism' in the gaming space. Guess I shouldn't be surprised how fucking toxic and stupid people are about this hobby.

Can be difficult to see the wood from the trees sometimes, as some takes out there, do appear to be motivated without integrity. The impression I get from the outside looking in. Is that this a great game, that will be even better after a couple of patches. As always I prefer to wait a little while after a game releases just to see how people find it, rather than just go by what reviews say. But with this it does seem that YMMV with regards you encountering any bugs or not. Patience and a couple of patches seems sensible for me. I have absolutely no doubt that Insomniac will iron out any rough edges.

There are a lot of small bugs everywhere, like this:
or this:
Loads of clipping, getting stuck on geometry and stuff like that. The biggest one so far was during a major story point, right before the fight I lost audio and a couple of seconds later it crashed to the dash:

I wonder what the next sales milestone will be?
2.5 is definitely extremely impressive. But I'm sure if they reach over 5/10 million they would announce that.
Still very happy that many are enjoying this. I still have to pick up my copy since I'm busy with Morrowind.

The main bugs I've got are audio related. Sometimes there is no talking audio whatsoever so I only see subtitles.
I even had it where Pete was talking to Miles and I was only getting the audio for what miles said and the subtitles where also about 30 seconds ahead of the entire conversation.

Eh, it's just how it goes sometimes. I think the fact that not EVERYONE is running into these bugs is pretty telling. If you got 1000+ people to attempt to reproduce a bug, there would be some that could, and some that couldn't. At least that's usually how it goes. If it's a 5/5 bug that 1000+ can reproduce then that's REAL bad.
Aside from the crashes, these bugs aren't THAT big of a deal. Shame that people are experiencing them though. I'm not worried about it, but I suppose it makes the wait for the PC version a bit better.
YOU PC BRO?!

Does anyone know how to enable Saudi mode from the options screen?

It happens. Of course, the usual suspects are overblowing it because a certain other company has been lacking with their releases. My glitches happened only after playing for several hours straight. Maybe a memory management problem? But, a quick reset fixed them all. Still, I found it mainly hilarious.

Starting to believe it. Game has crashed a few times. Now I’m literally stuck here. Not because I can't solve the puzzle. Because now none of the controller buttons work except for the main menu button. I've quit game twice and come back to the same problem. Now I'm going to have to turn on auto solve puzzles in the settings to progress in the game. Do better, Insomniac. Your reputation isn't being reflected well here.
Edit: I think my time with Spider-man 2 may be done. Changing the puzzle settings did not help. I am literally in a game breaking loop that is preventing me from progressing in the game.
I want my money back.
Edit 2: Found a solution. I have shortcuts set for left and right on the dpad. That is fucking up making a selection in this "puzzle". So stupid. Found the answer to the problem here:

A product that rates as '0' is a product that is completely broken. This clearly is not.

You would think left and right on the left stick could have had the same effect in this situation.

That's a yikes. I'm legit surprised at the games critical reception and how none of the prominent reviews mentioned all the issues.
Or maybe that day 1 patch really fucked things up.

Finished the game yesterday with only 3 or 4 minor bugs (Digital Copy).
