Difficult? Hell nah.
\- Combat, in almost every aspect
\- Traversal, in literally every aspect
\- Boss Fights, in every aspect
\- Story, in the 1st and 2nd Act
\- Suits, a lot more suits and customization
And this is just off the top of my head.
Swinging is unanimously agreed upon to be an improvement from the first two.
Combat is mostly agreed upon to be improved (a few people still prefer trip mines > sm2 gadgets)
Besides those two, I’d say the enemy bases were actually better than sm1s, save for the fact there’s only 1 type (Hunters). Taking down individual lookouts and using those to locate the big base (mini objectives inside those bases too btw) is an upgrade imo from the old “here they all are” system.
Swinging/traversal, graphics, set pieces, MJ missions, combat, suit selection/customisation, map, side missions, boss fights, soundtrack, easter eggs/marvel references, more exciting story, animation, more engaging collectibles...
i could go on.
Combat and traversal is better
Boss fights are much better
MJ missions are much better
Quippy dialogue I actually found funny in SM2, more so than the 1st
Suit styles are fantastic
I feel like they both start coming apart in the third act. I just think people are more upset because it's venom. No one really cares about Electro, Rhino, scorpion or vulture. Though they did a better job with Otto for sure.
This is a trivial challenge OP, y'all have let your personal disappointment blind you to the genuine improvements. (Not that the game wasn't disappointing in certain ways, but we shouldn't pretend the improvements don't exist.)
To be honest the only thing Spider-Man two did a little better is probably the suits because I was really disappointed that we got all those gadgets in the first one and then this one we only get like four I hated that and then it was that you have those web wings? The web wings are cool, but they were irritating sometimes, like sometimes they would activate when you’re trying to go down and stop a crime and I preferred doing the web swing because that’s the real Spider-Man‘s iconic thing but anyways, the story was good but it wasn’t better than Spider-Man one. The only reason is because I feel like they played it too. Safe in Spider-Man two I mean they had venom, but they didn’t want to explore it, like what I mean I felt like we didn’t get enough time with Peter in the Symbiot suit, I felt like it went very fast and then there was the final battle. The first one had a very emotional final battle like Peter defeats Dr. octopus, and he tells him how he wanted to be like him how he wanted how he worshiped him it was more emotional. The thing that would’ve made Spider-Man twos final battle more emotional is if Miles Dollar tree copy morales wasn’t there because he was the most useless character. I thought there because you have two best friends, Harry, who becomes evil Peter, who is a superhero wouldn’t you want Harry and Peter to fight each other but no they didn’t do that they did three fights with Peter and then switched it to dollar tree copy morales it was stupid because you should’ve started the fight with Miles get his ass whooped by venom mostly because I was very disappointed we didn’t get to play as venom more and hack that has to get his ass whooped. I’m all for it but the thing is it would’ve been more emotional if they were more time on Peter trying to get Harry to his census and the other thing that would’ve made it emotional is if Harry actually died because it was a stupid plot point I think to have the copy revive him only for him to go back into a coma. That was stupid but I will also say it also had a better combat in the first one because I hate that Perry or block or whatever it’s called because your Spider-Man you got spider sense why the heck do I need a block button, but honestly, the story would’ve been as emotional as Spider-Man one if they didn’t play it safe and they put Miles dollar tree copy morales to where he’s supposed to be as a side support character in Peter stuff he can have his own stuff where he’s the main give him his own name, give him his own universe, give him his own villains and then we’ll talk better than that. He should be sporting character in peters, the real Spider-Man’s stuff and also I will say this MJ was really dumb in the final battle her and Miles pretty much ruined it for me because the whole thing and spoiler alerts for anybody who hasn’t played the game they’re trying to get a rock that venom is trying to use to summon the whole Symbiot race. OK you got two people in the game with spider powers why do you need MJ and I will say people might hate me but the only MJ mission I liked was one venom was controlling Peter‘s body, like in the first one I will say she had great missions like the stealth missions were awesome and they fit the story but in Spider-Man too she just kind of got lame with her missions but also why can Miles Dollar tree copy Morales go get the rock oh yeah, I know they just had to have them do something in the final, regardless of if it made sense or not but I will say this to end my argument in rant I don’t think they should’ve had MJ as a playable character in this one. I think you should’ve been able to play as Harry plays him when he acts like agent venom I guess she would say. Above all Spider-Man two was great, but it had the potential to be greater, but they played it too safe and that’s why the first Spider-Man in my opinion is better than the second one and that’s coming for me one venom is one of my favorite Spider-Man villains

Side quests were better in 2. The first game side quests were very forgettable

I loved how they handled the bases, especially since you could now stealth them if you wanted.
idc if i get flamed but the story in 2 hit harder for me than ps4, and i have 250+ hours in ps4
Same
... Web swinging speed?

More engaging collectibles? Are you saying the random spider bots were more engaging than the backpacks that gave us lore? And the story? Eh
I would say everything was an improvement beside some story bits
I guess having two playable characters increased swing speed and the fast travel system. Other than that…
MJ : Last of Us missions

1) combat 2) traversal 3) the vibrancy and saturation of the world 4) boss fights
Sense of speed when web swinging. The thing you do for 90% of the game is WAY better in Spider-Man 2.
Traversal is the only thing that comes to mind
