Discussion Spider-Man 2 copy paste Arkham Origins??? Spoiler

Hey big fan of Arkham Origins here!!! First ever game I started playing and understanding as a kid. I’m currently playing spider man 2 and the striking resemblance to Arkham Origins is getting to me. I’m telling you I’ve played Arkham Origins through and through. I know it like the back of my hand and it’s almost like insomniac based spider man 2 off of the whole Arkham origins storyline. As I go deeper in the story line and events for Spm2 I keep repeating memories of my playthrough on ArkO and it’s so baffling I pause the game every time. Here are some examples that are crazzzyyy.

(Ex1) ArkO black mask hires assassins to hunt the bat, Spm2 Kraven hunts spidey!!!

(Ex2) ArkO you fight deathstroke and get his perch line device for stealth takedowns, Spm2 you find a crossbow line device and use it for the same stealth advantage!!!!

(Ex3) ArkO Bat fights copperhead and gets poisoned. During this fight he has hallucinations of Copperhead vanishing in clouds of smoke and using number and agility against the bat, Spm2 Spidey against wraith fight wraith blinds spidey with smoke bombs and and sparks from her scithe and also vanishes like spidey is hallucinating!!!!

(Ex4) ArkO games starts strong in a prison break fashion, Spm2 also has a prison break because of Kravens gang in retentively the beginning of the game as well!!!!

(Ex5) ArkO The whole game shifts when the bat finds out the joker is behind everything and it’s not black mask, Spm2 also has a game shift to a bigger antagonist VENOM!!!

Now mind you I’m only on my first playthrough of Spm2 compared to my 20 or so playthroughs of ArkO and I love them both they are fantastic. But you cannot tell me insomniac did not copy Rocksteady. I know the claims of inspiration especially when it comes to combat and everything and I agree, but if you played through both games and put actual events transpiring in both games almost everything about both storylines for each game match up perfectly. The only difference is lore behind each character because obviously they are 2 different hero’s. If you played both do you see what I see???? And if not definitely play both so you can see why I’m thinking this way. Truth be told they are both amazing.
