We’ve had a few new Potatoes join us lately, so it’s intro time!

Hey, I’m Ruby! Been a gamer since way back—started with a Commodore 64, and that “gamer phase” never ended.
I’m an achievement huntress, mostly on PC and PlayStation. Used to write and record achievement guides, do OG RE speedruns, and challenge runs (like SL1 in Dark Souls). A couple of years ago, I had an accident that led to a brain injury, so my hand-eye coordination is kinda shot now. But hey, I still love gaming, so who cares?

Now, instead of a pro gamer, I’m the Mommy to my Potato Squad (that’s you guys!).

I’m Ace (specifically Aegosexual) and panromantic. You probably followed me after seeing a pic and already have me labeled—fair enough, considering the “link in bio.”
But hey, a good gamer never judges a book by its cover. That’s how you find the hidden loot! 😉

After looking around online, what I’ve gathered is that a lot of people don’t like how Logan was written in the game.

Fair enough. I thought it was weird and a bit clashing too. He comes off so... emotive? (Sorry, English isn’t my first language. I can’t find a better word.)

In other media he’s usually dark, rough, and gruff. Here he’s more “wholesome,” which is a pretty big departure from how he’s usually portrayed.

I found it odd too, but I just treated it as they wanted to show his soft side under his hairy armor and a way for them to fit him into their story. I get why someone more attached to the classic version would find it annoying.

After all said and done (you'll end up a skeleton!), you have to go into this game accepting that the story is more “modernized.”
If you’re a diehard who wants dark Wolverine, the writing probably won’t be your thing. The gameplay, though, is pretty gruesome. You might find your fun there ^^

Platinum no. 541: Wolverine

Here's my honest review:
I enjoyed it.

It's a story-driven action/adventure game. It's linear, and the gameplay almost feels like a vehicle that gets you from one piece of the story to the next. It's a casual game and it's meant to be played as that. It's not meant to be stressful, quite the opposite. If you come into this game expecting Souls-like boss battles, this isn't for you, and that's fine?

It has a pretty good story in the Earth-1048 universe. Graphically it's very nice to look at, and as I said above, the gameplay isn't too stressful, which might end up feeling boring for anyone looking for a challenge. It's a pretty good game if story-driven games are your thing. It will SUCK BIG TIME if you go in expecting a different game from what it is.

What I am trying to say is that I understand where some of the hate comes from. Sony chose a path not many agree with, and others are so exasperated by the trend of uglifying and forcefully siding with whatever ideology that they will jump at the slightest hint.

That being said, the gaming world is VAST. You aren't meant to enjoy every game. I know Wolverine was a pretty big title, but however big a title is, it will never make everyone happy. This time around, maybe you won't like it. Maybe next time you'll be the one enjoying a game everyone else hates.

Gaming is meant to entertain, but everyone has a different meaning for that word. For example, say one likes big boobs and one likes CBT. They DEFINITELY won't enjoy the same game, and that's absolutely fine XD

Remember: live and let live <3

@RiccardoFeder11 Oh wait!!! You are right! Quina! How could I have forgotten, she was my favorite in ff9

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

Got a new friend in my garden ^^

Don't know how to check their gender but if it's a He, I'll call him Cid, if it's a she Yuffie☺️

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@ManorEris Bad controls? One uses camera analog controls and one tank controls, you didn't like either? :O

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

Kuon and Rule of Rose were 2 of my most loved horrors as a kid. Never managed to beat Kumon (by FromSoftware btw)

Just recently, thanks to a John Wolfe video, I learned that Kuon is an expensive rarity nowadays!

Physical Games FTW!
Always take good care of them 🥰

[MiasmaMaeve/Closed Commissions @MiasmaMaeve]

Apparently Cyberleak just dropped the final GTA 6 leak… and somehow @PureRuby87 made it into the game looking this damn gorgeous. ❤️‍🔥
I wish it were true, but actually, it's a commission for my friend @BootyLover03 😚

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@BadWolf_Wagner Yeah and pretty snappy too!

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

This is Knuckles' Week At Sonic's, a FNAF fan-made game
I know it's not my usual content, but since I found out GameJolt has achievements I wanted to go play something, and here it is.

Admittedly it's pretty fun and easy enough for my broken brain to process the rules.
Barely^^

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@Dustellar You need neither, mostly because I can't remember anything. On my frog photo, I was about to call her Toadette, misremembering them being mushrooms so...

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@RighteousMang What's lame and insulting? I know that usually Wolverine is way more rough and gruff but is that it?

@ChaosArms Admittedly the platinum isn't really that challenging. I could've made it easier by playing on the lowest difficulty but that gets boring fast

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@PITerotic @CrankyPainter So She's a Yuffie!

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@CrankyPainter On internet they say to check their eardrums?

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@ptgdmj2 15hrs for the platinum and I'd say 10-12 for gameplay alone

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@SgClaw The screen says 16hrs but I actually failed a couple of trophies that I had to go back to, so it's 15ish hours with a bit of exploring and without skipping cutscenes

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@GlupShitto95 Nah full price isn't worth it. It's a good game, a nice story but not worth 80 gils

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@Shiruz_TH Nah you can play on the lowest difficulty, you can't even die

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@FIacolare @fehlis @mrpyo1 Actually, I did notice him a long time ago, and he was always respectful. We've been friends ever since, so much so that we became friends IRL, a concept I'm sure is completely alien to you, considering how you post things that absolutely no one but you replies to. How sad.

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@Vedenjakaja That's a new one

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@fehlis Thank you :)

[Ruby @PureRuby87]

@Riaan_A Ehhh... Live and let live.
