The game deserves a lot of shit for the QTEs alone. I cannot understand the point of putting those in a game if everything turns out fine whether you do them or not.

u/Fr0zenNova 8h ago
I never understood why Wolverine gets hate for its Qte's but I haven't seen any hate for them in Dawnwalker(they have Qte chopping wood, pouring tea etc)
Not saying u think it's fine just in general it really just screams Wolverine is Sony so its bad or a youtuber told me it was bad.

u/Cocoatrice 13h ago
Or maybe, you know. People aren't complacent trolls with zero standards and want to voice their dissatisfaction at slop games, so the future games won't be like this shit? But what would you know about quality...
5
u/andocommandoecks 11h ago
If they really don't want slop games then they need to go harder at the devs getting busted generating assets with AI (or openly embracing it) and spend less time dunking on a game that was fine but a YouTuber told them not to like it.

u/EmbarrassedEagle9921 3h ago
The game is not fine, you just have low standards, nobody needs a YouTuber to tell them shit smells like shit

u/andocommandoecks 3h ago
Nah, it's fine. Worked as advertised, angry knife hand man was angry and carved people up with knife hands and it didn't overstay its welcome. Literally all it had to do, it's baffling that people expected more. My standards are fine.
1
u/EmbarrassedEagle9921 3h ago
Yea people did expect more from a 70+ dollar game other than a glitchy interactive movie with bad storytelling that last 15 hours AT MOST
That’s how I know your standards are low, you acting like this game is acceptable for the price they put on it just shows how low your standards are
God of war ragnorak cost 60+ dollars and is A MUCH BETTER GAME than this while costing 10 dollars less than wolverine and lasting over twice as long with a better new game plus and it came with FREE DLC that was essentially its own brand new game
God of war ragnarok is the quality i expect from a 70+ dollar game not a glitchy buggy mess that holds your hand thru the entire experience, while never letting you fail, QTEs don’t matter, combat is stale especially compared to GOD OF WAR, and the animations suck, wolverine is high quality garbage
1
u/andocommandoecks 2h ago
It could've been ten times longer and that wouldn't make it one bit better, longer game doesn't mean better game. It often (not always) just means more padding. I also didn't pay $70 for it because that's a silly thing to do. If ever a game was a perfect rental this was it. I sure did die quite a bit for a game that doesn't let you fail though, guess nobody told my copy that my health bar being empty is a fail state, and the enemies taking half of it away per hit was a bit ruthless.
I agree GoW Ragnarok was better, but expecting that level of experience from a complete different dev team working on a completely unrelated IP is a silly way to go about making purchase decisions. I didn't get mad when The Last of Us 2 didn't give me the same combat as Bloodborne either. Or when GoW Ragnarok didn't have combat as good as Devil May Cry 5. It's not a matter of low standards, it's just having realistic expectations.

u/EmbarrassedEagle9921 2h ago
Dude everything you said is just massive cope, your inhaling PREMIUM COPIUM dawg put it down
You’re right a longer game doesn’t mean better, but why charge 70+ dollars for a small bag of chips when I can go and get me a bigger bag of chips for a lower price 60+ dollars, Wolverine had no business costing 70+ dollars
If you had a hard time playing this game you genuinely suck at gaming not even tryna be mean or insulting but this is the easiest game I’ve ever played in my life even on the hardest difficulty, if this is difficult you would genuinely struggle playing god of war on give me balance difficulty
And no me expecting a decent game and expecting a similar level of experience is not SILLY especially considering the price, if you are gonna charge 70+ dollars i EXPECT a game worth 70+ dollars, I don’t understand why you are making excuses for this slop, I don’t need the same combat as a different game like god of war but i expect something as good if you are gonna charge prices similar to those games you listed, hell I expect quality similar to insomniacs previous games (spiderman) and they couldn’t even do that and they MADE THOSE GAMES, they couldn’t even make their combat as good as there previous games, another excuse to justify this slop
If this game was 40 dollars it wouldn’t be that bad it actually would be ok, but it’s not 40 it’s 70+ dollars, so I’m going to judge this game like I would judge any 70+ game and for the price Wolverine is TERRIBLE
You don’t have REALISTIC expectations, you have LOW standards

They want games to be good or excellent to hold the standard. If the game releases subpar, the reviews will reflect that. That is on developers.
This is a benefit to the consumer. No one wants bad/mediocre games so Wolverine gets the distain it deserves.

This obsession with Wolverine is crazy, I'm just sad that Insomniac made a mediocre game, a studio that makes bangers and is responsible for the some of my favorite franchises like Spyro and Ratchet. I was already sad with their focus with Marvel games, but on top of that them making a mediocre games is just makes it even worse.

u/National-Garbage505 13h ago
The Internet has become weird like that.. they will find one reason to hate a game amidst 100 reasons to enjoy it and they will only focus on the negative. I don't have a Playstation but If I did I would probably play it. Not every game has to be a perfect 10/10. This happened with many games recently. If it isn't the best game ever, people (who have never played it) act like it is the worst game ever. Avowed, Star Wars Outlaws, Wolverine, and many more have had this happen. Sometimes a game can just be fun and that's fine. At some point people starting thinking that 7.5/10 is a bad score and it's very odd.
Now the budget of Wolverine is another story. The fact that they spent $300 million on making a straightforward linear action game is its own problem and highlights the budget bloat going on in AAA studios. But the game looks like it is a ton of fun.
2
u/LucklessCope 12h ago
It's kind of funny that you invalidate the criticism just because you suggest there are 100 reasons to enjoy it. Yet they're the one who had actually played it while you're admitting you never even touched it.

What’s sooo good about it? Combat and story are average at best. Level design sucks. The only saving grace are the performances imo.

u/weirdo_if_curtains_7 12h ago
I think the best way to describe the game is just sort of mediocre and boring. Like, it checks the boxes for a video game technically. It's just so uninspired and uninteresting at a basic level. Even the combat is essentially just a mash fest.
The combat on a game like that should be excellent at the very least. How do you make combat in a wolverine game that boring? That's what I don't get
I think it's a serviceable game to get on sale for 10 bucks or so if you like the character of wolverine. Definitely would never pay full price for it though.
0
u/LucklessCope 12h ago
I don't remember anyone bringing up the game's length. What I remember being criticised was the handholding, both during traversal and in QTE sequences.
I've also seen several clips that back up these criticisms, as well as showing how ridiculous the bike gameplay looks. Ironically, you're the one creating an echo chamber by refusing to address these criticisms and instead dismissing them based on your own subjective opinion. And that's fine, just as it's fine for others to criticise the game. But subjective opinions don't invalidate criticism, especially when there are actual gameplay clips to back it up.
-2
u/Hungry_Computer3913 12h ago
Its updated and fixed now so hand hold is turned down a lot same as bike sequence, ofcourse I saw those clips everyone did but devs saw that too and fixed so game is an absolute banger now with addictive gameplay same as Spiderman and same as Ratchet and Clank
1
u/LucklessCope 12h ago
Saying is updated and fixed pretty much acknowledge some of rhe criticism while the rest remains.
And I'm not able to somehow take you serious when using words like "absolute banger" and comparing it to Spider-Man and Ratchet and Clank.
We heard the criticism. How about you telling us what actually makes it an "absolute banger" now?

u/Disrespect78 10h ago
It's only really split among hardcore fans, mostly because yeah there are hardcore fans who don't like social/exploration stuff at all, but then I don't think they're really approaching this game for what it is.
I wouldn't criticize Metroid Prime for being a 3D game if I liked Metroid for being exclusively 2D.
I've played every FE game, and love all of them and both the "modern" games and the old ones pretty equally. Everyone has their own preferences though

u/Lord-Heir 12h ago
Onimusha was easily the best game of September, probably the entire year next to RE9. It's amazing the amount of people not understanding that the reason you're bringing up Wolverine is because it was a lousy FIRST PARTY Sony game compared to a smaller third party studio's game that blew it completely out of the water.
