Warning Spiderman PS4 SPOILERS
Having finished spiderman PS4 recently the ending just felt so ...meh story wise because of these 2 character's story in this game feeling so shallow.
Both of these characters feel like they've been severely underdeveloped especially with how they were handeld compared to say spiderman 2 the movie by Sam rami.
The game really didn't make me care about each of these characters at all and their fate at the end just left me feeling meh whatever.
For example I couldn't get behind Dr. Oc's motives at all. His reason felt stupid and childish ( especially compared to Spiderman 2 the movie, where you could feel / connect more with Dr. Oc cause his tragic story of his wife dying due to his experiment going wrong) they really should have told more backstory for him regarding his relationship with Norman. Also his relationship with peter felt sooo non-existent too. At the end peter is crying his heart out for him and I'm like wtf why, entire game these two didn't feel like they had a close relationship ( again compared to spiderman 2 movie where dr. Oc inviting peter to dinner with his wife, where you could know him better ). This games relationship between the two felt like a work colleague bossying Peter around to do x for him and that's about it. So yeah that whole melodramatic scene at thetend made me feel nothing due to how much meh this version of Dr. Oc was in this game
Also aunt aunt may, she felt like a character you only seen few times and they didn't really have many interactions with her especially the 2nd half of the game where I forgot she was still in this game. When she reappeared at the end I'm like uh am I supposed to feel for this character dying ? Only reason I could is because I know the character more cause I watched the spiderman movies, the cartoons etc. If this was just a game character and i had no prior Spidey knowledge I wouldn't have felt anything for her death cause again she wasnt in this game very much and her interactions with peter was so distant after the first couple hours of the game
So yeah I'm just bummed of these two characters ruining the melodrama at the end for me :/
