I have over 20 hours in Wolverine PS5, here is a list of lies vs fair criticism about the game.
The lies:
- There is no Wolverine/Sabretooth homosexual relationship in the game
- The blue trail thing is not on all the time
- You can fail a lot of times in QTE sequences but there are other other times it pauses or doesn't fail
- A lot of bugs I've seen are people glitching of the map and showing of areas outside of the main game. This is not part of the main game
- You can die in the motorcycle parts, especially on harder difficulties
Fair criticism:
- The white paint is too much, I wish you can toggle it off
- I wish Logan didn't talk to himself sometimes what do so, especially how fast he does it
- The game is too easy on normal difficult and the platinum is too easy
- The blue trail was too visable when it was there, it should be press R3 ro activate but they patches how visable it is
I really wish people could have a normal conversation about what can actually be improved about the game instead of talking about random stuff.
I will have my full review tomorrow about the game once I 100% on the hardest difficulty!
@TheMeleeJames Again using the tutorial mission as the example when you’re supposed to be in a fully action oriented section that throws people into the fight so you can get a feel for the game. Complaining about this here is moronic in every way.
Nobody is saying you aren't allowed to not interested in a game. The issue is that you're trying to give criticism about the game without having ever fucking played it.
If you just repeat what others are saying than you're nothing but a fucking a sheep following the herd.
@OldFashLvrBoy@balefulcrimson@PotionDweller It’s lazy on the game devs for a tutorial segment to not let you run all willy nilly around the map away from the actual objective? When it’s Wolverine out of all people? I guess smashing your fist on your screen and keyboard does work nimrods.
Same song and dance bro.
Uncharted 4 was "downgraded"
Tlou2 "woke"
Ratchet and clank "can run on ps3"
God of war "dad of war/no jump button"
Ghost of tsushima "repetitive"
Ghost of yoti "woke"
Spiderman "puddles"
Spiderman 2 "woke"
Ever game every time, fake outrage.
Je l'ai dit dans mon test, c'était une évidence que Marvel's Wolverine allait diviser. Et je le comprends à 200%. Mais tout ce que je lis depuis hier... Pitié quoi. Dosez un peu.
De nos jours c'est soit on hurle au GOTY, soit au scam. L'entre-deux existe hein. C'est bien aussi.
I'll make it easy:
- Wolverine is for the player who got a PS5, doesn't have much time to play but enjoys the little time they get
- This is for the person who doesn't follow all the game hype and news and isn't watching showcases, but watched all the X films on the weekends.
- Wolverine is for the fan who loved the 360 game, has the popcorn bucket, and doesn't care what a reviewer thinks of most games
- Wolverine is the game you get for the friend, partner, teen, or even dad who doesn't always know what's in but enjoys what they get.
@insomniacgames is still the best at what they do, but if you are in this gaming bubble, what they do may not be what you're looking for.
I’m gonna say this because some of the discourse around Marvel’s Wolverine is getting ridiculous. You can criticize the game. You can dislike parts of it. You can give it a 6/10 if that’s genuinely how you feel. That’s what reviews are for. But this whole “Wolverine is a disappointment because it isn’t Spider-Man” narrative needs to fucking stop.
IT’S WOLVERINE.
Insomniac did not spend years developing Wolverine just to give us Spider-Man with claws. This character has a completely different identity, tone, combat style, story, and gameplay fantasy. Spider-Man is about swinging through a massive city, stopping crimes, doing side activities, exploring an open world and constantly moving. Wolverine is a brutal character-driven experience built around Logan. Why the hell are we acting like the game failing to copy Spider-Man’s exact structure is automatically a flaw?
And now people see a Metacritic/OpenCritic score around the high 70s and suddenly it’s “MID,” “FLOP,” “INSOMNIAC FELL OFF,” and “FIVE YEARS FOR THIS?” Come on.
A score in the 70s doesn’t mean the game is fucking garbage. There are reviews praising the combat, visuals, performances, atmosphere, characterization and story while other reviewers criticize repetition, pacing, exploration and narrative choices. THAT IS CALLED A GAME HAVING STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. Some reviewers are giving it 9s and 10s while others are giving it 6s. You can acknowledge the flaws without pretending the entire game is worthless.
And yes, some of the criticism is completely fair. If the combat gets repetitive for you, SAY THAT. If you wanted more exploration, SAY THAT. If the story doesn’t land for you, SAY THAT. Those are actual criticisms. But “it isn’t as big as Spider-Man” is not automatically a criticism. “It doesn’t have the same open-world scale” isn’t automatically a criticism. Wolverine DOES NOT NEED TO BE SPIDER-MAN.
And I’m especially tired of people throwing around “five years of development” like that automatically means Insomniac owed everybody a perfect 10/10 masterpiece.
Five years means people spent FIVE YEARS of their lives making this game. Artists. Animators. Writers. Programmers. Designers. Voice actors. Engineers. QA testers. Everybody who put their time into bringing Logan into Insomniac’s Marvel universe.
You don’t have to worship them. You don’t have to agree with every design decision. But at least respect the fucking work.
Insomniac gave Spider-Man an entire gaming identity that people still compare everything against. Now they finally get the opportunity to give Wolverine that same treatment, and some fans immediately look at the game and say, “Why isn’t this Spider-Man?”
BECAUSE IT’S WOLVERINE.
Let Logan have his own game.
Stop demanding that every Insomniac Marvel game become another Spider-Man. Stop treating a 77–80 aggregate like a funeral. Stop letting a review score decide whether YOU are allowed to enjoy a game. And stop acting like criticism and appreciation are mutually exclusive.
You can say “this game has flaws” AND “I’m grateful Insomniac made this.”
Both can be true.
After years of waiting, we finally have an Insomniac Wolverine game. A studio that already gave us some of the biggest Marvel games ever actually decided to take Logan and build an entire experience around him.
I’m going to appreciate that.
If you don’t like the game, that’s fine.
If the combat isn’t for you, that’s fine.
If you wanted a bigger world, that’s fine.
If you think the story could’ve been better, THAT’S FINE.
But don’t sit here and call the entire game trash simply because it didn’t become Spider-Man with claws.
Let Wolverine be Wolverine.
And maybe before everybody starts screaming “FLOP,” actually PLAY THE FUCKING GAME.
@BItViperzi Bro are we serious? Why are pulling the race card on an obvious silhouette of two regular looking men no distinguishing features beside the gender itself? We can’t be regressing like this.
Nossa, que decepção ver um protagonista reagir igual qualquer pessoa reagiria nessa situação, ao invés de seguir um ideal utópico de sempre rir e manter a esperança independente da desgraça que tá acontecendo com ele. Melhor coisa do Ichigo é justamente a humanidade dele cara.
@TheoL1zard@kurumiishere And it’s painfully obvious that you complain about stuff you have no knowledge about. It would do you wonders to not assume that males that are dressed as a females, and the opposite way around, are just straight up trans.
