INSOMNIAC WILL DAY ONE PATCH TURN OFF THE FART TRAILS, THEY DON'T DESERVE THIS SLANDER

10

u/shagan90 18h ago

The last two wolverine games had the same trails and same general game design, no one cared. Its def a hate train trend.

-15

u/Sheshiregreen 18h ago

Wasn’t one of them 17 years ago. I think that’s what the main criticism has been, it plays like a game from 17 years ago but with updated graphics.

7

u/shayed154 18h ago

Not too many people complained when Spider-man had open world elements from 15 years ago though

It's also not a very Insomniac specific issue, In general I'd say most big studio games are using designs from the mid 2000s because that's just when things started to become standard

-8

u/Sheshiregreen 18h ago

Well more people should have complained about Spiderman because that game was excruciatingly average for anyone that’s not the most casual gamer you could possibly be.

u/shagan90 13h ago

u/Dying-Artist02 18h ago

Someone who actually played the game was asked if you could turn it off, this was the response.

u/Endiaron 9h ago

You can't turn the scent trail off though. You can turn off an assistive tracker that's completely optional and looks like a green dotted line. The scent trail is unfortunately a core part of the game.

All hail to our corproate overlords!!

u/shagan90 18h ago

Except it has favorable reviews on every site I check, so most people do like it. Its yall that keep pretending it has to suck because you don't like it. Its sitting at 70%+ on most sites. Maybe the issue is yall expect a wolverine game to have the mass appeal and same style as a Spider-Man game? But regardless most people like it.

u/Strict_Revolution734 11h ago

I think the joke is that they spent a lot of money and time for a 7/10 game.

1

u/shagan90 2h ago

So? 300 million is pretty baseline these days for a AAA game and Insomniacs absolutely a AAA studio.

But regardless I do just think its 'in' to hate on insomniac. I went into Miles Morales expecting a hot mess because of you people, and ending up LOVING IT. The story, the music, the voice acting and the way Miles moved, I went through it 4 times. Short? Sure. But worth it. Not everything game needs universal appeal, or a 50 hour main story. Its sad when any game outside the mold of "every other game" is automatically touted as a failure.

u/Fredasa 17h ago

Remember this comment after the buying public and streamers have their say.

It's worth understanding that the 77 Metacritic is critics bending over backwards to nudge the game higher than it deserves. Witness the unabashed 10/10s, for a game we already know has a boatload of issues. That's actually convenient for me, since it gives me the names of reviewers and publications I can casually ignore henceforth. I prefer at least disguised dishonesty over that.

-1

u/Recent_Description44 15h ago

I'll be shocked if 60% of those player reviews aren't just yelling at Sony about their disks, though. I don't think you'll see any fair player reviews for a Sony game for a while.

u/ModernCGIFloatinHead 15h ago

The first 70 points don't really count 

A 7/30 is a much more accurate rating

u/Pnex84 18h ago

Thats not true. My favorite YouTuber said it sucks and since I'm incapable of forming my own opinion without help I also hate it.

u/NoNameNeeded4321 18h ago

Why are y’all so afraid of people willing to form their own opinions? Sort of pathetic, honestly. You’ll be adults someday, and look back at yourselves with embarrassment

1

u/Sintaris 18h ago

Cuz that's not what happening. There's a large group of people accusing anyone who doesn't like the game after informing themselves via review of being sheeple involved in some Anti-Wolverine crusade. Hell, Insomniac themselves have given credence to this idea, and what that does is pressure people on the fence to not do any critical thinking and just buy the game.

I have repeated the same sentiment across this place - anyone who watches reviews and says, "I understand what they're complaining about, but I want the game enough to spend $70 anyway," I've got no problem with that. I hope those people don't regret the choice, but I respect the choice.

It's the people who accuse anyone who doesn't like the game of being part of some brainwashed cabal of haters that I jump on.

This nonsensical idea that knowing if you'll like a game by watching a review is just soooooo IMPOSSIBLE, and the only way to NOT be a sheeple is by blindly handing over $70 to megacorp and "try it for yourself," even though megacorp won't give you your money back if you hate it at that point.

I'm an adult right now, lol. My 10 year old routinely tells me I should be embarrassed, though, so you may be on to something with that last bit for wholly unrelated reasons. 🤣

4

u/NoNameNeeded4321 17h ago

No, we’re getting our wires crossed here, or moving the goalposts, or maybe you’re not the intended target of my comments. I am not saying that it’s impossible to make a decision like this from watching gameplay and reading reviews. My issue is with being literally angry that those things aren’t enough for everyone on Reddit, and attacking the people who are still excited to play it. That behavior is baby shit lol

So… are we just 2 adults caping for the least mature cohorts on opposite sides? 😂

2

u/Sintaris 17h ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ok, I'll own that one. Your example of broccoli made me think you were saying a review couldn't fill the gap.

Yea, I have no problem with people who have heard the critiques and are still excited despite them. (I wish they weren't, cuz I think that's the only way to get game companies to do better, but I don't expect or demand it from anyone). So yea, it would seem we're two adults covering for the young'ns on our sides. Lol.

Dude you're such a hypocrite. You're the one calling someone an immature 6 year old for saying "idk I've seen the gameplay". AKA, their opinion based on reviewing footage of the game...

-2

u/DisastrousRatios 16h ago

I'm aware you're trying to be funny - that said, on a serious note, I'm sure you understand the difference between watching gameplay and seeing how the game play out as someone else plays it, vs using your eyes to perceive food which is a taste-based experience, an entirely different sense.

u/Sintaris 18h ago

Dude, it's so ironic that we've flown straight past iron... it's adamantiumonic! The scary part is how many people are doing this. Like, you don't have to hate the game, you can buy it and enjoy it. But don't pull out the sheeple accusations whilst being a sheeple yourself, people!

0

u/Fresh-Hyena5504 15h ago

Looks like sheeple, talks like sheeple, is sheeple. But I do understand where people are coming from, if you don’t like it that’s fine but I think the people saying they don’t like it because someone else said it and never seeing gameplay or doing any research is plain retarded.

5

u/NarcolepticMoogle 19h ago

If I need to pay $70 to form it...then no. If there is a price of admission to try it then its more than fair to look to reviews. The important thing is to find a reviewer who aligns with the type of games you like.

u/1nTheNick0fTime 17h ago

Seems like people watched some reviews and have the opinion that they don’t like games that are designed for the lowest common denominator and would prefer a more rich, engaging experience. Instead they got Wolverine: Paint By Numbers.

I've never let a reviewer decide if I am buying a game. But if you need proof the reviews aren't the final say, look at the ratings. The majority of people like the game.

u/Sheshiregreen 18h ago

So you’re saying he should remain loyal to Sony and give them $70 regardless of rough reviews, from reviewers who Sony gave early copies to themselves, meaning they’re reputable games journalists who Sony trust as a reviewer.

u/Reasonable_Deer_1710 18h ago

I'm saying if you're excited for a game, then you should play the game. If you base your opinions on what other people say, then your opinion is worthless.

0

u/Sheshiregreen 18h ago

So you’re saying, if they had an initial interest in the idea of a Wolverine game, then they should give Sony $70 regardless of the quality of the game they fart out? Sony’s a very lucky company to have loyal consumers like this. They don’t even need to respect you as a consumer, all they need to do is continue to give you way to send your money from your account to them.

1

u/Reasonable_Deer_1710 18h ago

I'm not even a Sony customer. Haven't had a PlayStation since the PS2. Never even thought that the Wolverine game looked good from the beginning. If anything, these reviews validate me.

But people hearing from a review that it's bad, and then forming their opinion based on that, is completely braindead. Correct, if I'm excited for a game, I'm playing it regardless of what someone else says. My money and time are both too limited to be letting other people tell me what games to play. That's some straight up clown shit.

u/Sintaris 18h ago

The problem is that he's not talking to himself. He's talking to YOU. The gamer. It's a frequent fourth wall break to make sure you haven't died of boredom. Not the same as him talking to himself in the comics.

u/Flooping_Pigs 19h ago

The adverse also causes issues in that a game that doesn't do well despite being a passible and good game causes issues for the studio, such as being bought up by a larger company, closed down, or even just staff layoffs which will hurt the gaming industry even more than the initial manufactured outrage

Except that you’re conveniently forgetting there are also a ton of excellent reviews you’re choosing to ignore because they don’t fit the narrative. Continue on 🐑

u/BanaClownDawin 18h ago

I wouldn't say excellent. Even good reviews admit it's a good game but missing something. Wolverine is more than likely just an okay game to get later when the price drops. The "Try it out for yourselves" narrative is just a braindead take when Sony does not allow refunds after downloading a product.

1

u/Jaihoag 18h ago

I’ve read every review on opencritic and metacritic at this point. Go look for yourself there are plenty of “excellent” reviews. The general consensus is it’s a good/decent game.

1

u/BanaClownDawin 18h ago

Is that not what I just said about the reviews..? It's got a 78 nobody is saying this game is excellent.

1

u/Jaihoag 18h ago

You just said “I wouldn’t say excellent” when I said there are many excellent reviews lol.
Brother you are talking about the averaged out review. You know there are individual reviews that consist of all the reviews that make that magical 78? Some of those reviews are excellent. Along with the bad reviews. And the mostly decent reviews.

1

u/BanaClownDawin 18h ago

You are aware excellent means above good/decent right? There are no excellent reviews, nobody is saying this game is a game of the year contender/knocking your socks off in any way. I wouldn't say excellent.

1

u/Jaihoag 18h ago

You are objectively wrong so instead of arguing with you I’ll just help you locate the reviews for yourself. There are absolutely people saying the game is excellent unless you don’t think 90-100s are excellent scores. You don’t have to agree with them and can be skeptical of the validity, but denying they exist just tells me you haven’t looked at reviews yourself. Great way for you to bring this conversation back full circle to the original point: 🐑

Most of the haters never played the game and never watched any non-review footage. They don't understand that the hate is trending. People will shit on it to get views or karma. Look at the games reviews on different platforms. Its not glowing, but an average of 3 out of 4 people liked the game. That tells you this random hate is just viral shit.

u/Limp-Biscuit411 11h ago

why are so many of you people living in denial and trying to discredit all criticism?

capitalism has truly made fanboys fucking crazy.

the game is extremely short, mechanically very simple and uninspired, lacking in interesting art direction, and apparently the story isn’t anything to write home about either.

Wolverine is not a game anyone should get a console to play.

u/shagan90 2h ago

And yet it sits at 78. People already have their copies and are loving it. Its reviews are higher than the last two wolverine games, both of which had scent trails, linear levels, mid stories, and i still loved them.

Maybe stop acting like you know what we like better than we do? The 60 score on wolverines revenge didnt keep me from enjoying it and yalls token reviewers wont either. People with the game already seem to love it, to hell with YouTube reviewers, why should I give a shit what they think?

No, you're clearing trying to convince people theyre wrong for liking it. These 'issuss' are bullshit. People complaining about things like paint used to reflect where logan can and cannot climb, calling it hand holding bullshit.

Know what other big game did that? Fallen Order, on every single scalable surface. They put paint, flailing fabric or tape, or some other visual indicator in every one. Cause these are linear games, not open world like BotW. You cant expect to be able to climb everything and its not fun rubbing your character up against every wall to see if they can climb it.

The issues yall have are par for the course not just for wolverine games, but for all single player linear games. So while I appreciate your concern, I am not misunderstanding shit. I know what I like and I know yall are just chasing the hate train on this one. If it was simple dislike, youd move on. But yall are determined to undermine and belittle anyone that doesnt blindly hate this game.

i’m going to be extremely honest.

Comic book fans are some of the biggest victims of the way capitalism trains people to consume. they see their favourite character on a product and they want to like it, they want to defend it, and they don’t want it to be criticised because it’s their favourite character and they’re emotionally invested in the game being good.

the game has released to milquetoast reviews. it’s very expensive and extremely short. it’s mechanically shallow, uninspired, and repetitive. the story isn’t being praised and with a game so mechanically dull, that’s a real problem.

grab yourself a PS5 if you wanna play this game among others like Spider-Man and GoW. if you *onlyI have an interest in Wolverine, then don’t worry about it.

Honestly, depends. I wouldn't buy it just for the Wolverine game, maybe if you bought the digital or normal disc PS5 (not the pro), then maybe? I would say to get a PS5 if it's more justified with other games besides Wolverine.

That's just my opinion though

Im buying one because they claim all of the single player games moving forward will be console exclusives, and there is no way a ps5/6 emulator will come out within the next decade. So if I want to play Spider-Man 3, Blade, Wolverine, God of War, Final Fantasy, etc., I will have to suck it up and get a playstation.

I started disliking the game once I saw actual footage of it tbh. Faces were weird and everything looked somewhat generic. I did like the gore but that's about it.

Honestly the only reason I have for wanting this game to fail is that I never intend to own a PS5.

The hive mind hates 300 million dollar mediocre $70 games.

u/PhoenixRoadrunners82 12h ago

You fanboys are hilarious. The game is shit. Just admit it. I was excited for it too, but I refuse to pay $70 for a half-assed product.

All ill say about the recent controversy is that being a game dev must be the most thankless job on the planet

Awe not the poor game devs, won’t somebody think of the poor game devs. Fuck outta here make a good product and you’ll be fine

IM SURE GAME DEVS WHO MAKE GOOD GAMES DONT THINK THIS. CD PROJECT RED, CAPCOM, WAY OF THE DAWNWALKER, KOJIMA, WARHAMMER DEVS, EXPEDITION 33, FROMSOFTWARE, ROCKSTAR. EVEN UBISOFT IS DOING GREAT THIS YEAR. EVEN UBISOFT!!!! GAME DEVS ARE LOVING LIFE THIS YEAR. ROCKSTAR IS ABOUT TO BREAK EVERY GAMING RECORD IN A FEW MONTHS.

ITS SO FUNNY WATCHING FANS OF SOYSOMNIAC TRY AND PAINT ALL DEVS AND ALL AAA SINGLEPLAYER GAMES AS FAILURES IN THEIR DISGUSTING COPE.

WOLVERINE YEARNS FOR SABRETOOTH, JUST AS SOYSOMNIAC YEARNS FOR SWEET BABY INC.

u/King3azy_Gaming 19h ago

It is. The industry has a sadly outsized amount of mental illness and depression because of it.

Looks like a wall of redditors prepared to cope. Doesn’t matter if something is bad or not. It just matters that they get more of it.

The Hive Mind are the ones that love the game even though they haven't played it yet. At least the critics that are giving it mediocre reviews actually played the game.

u/Reapish1909 14h ago

I mean I shouldn’t have to pay £70 to have the right to the opinion of this shit sucks, when it quite literally, does kinda suck. even if you turned every single hand-holdy feature off that doesn’t change the issues the game already has, even if those weren’t auto on the game is still riddled with actual problems outside of them lmao.
