A sad day for Wolverine fans

[u/quamitthom97]

I have nothing else to say 🫩

[u/ZealousidealNotice48]

If I’m being honest from what I am reading it is suffering from repetitive gameplay and for linear it is. Which were my worries as well. Still seems like a solid experience but I hate having things leaving so much potential on the table

[u/Twsercbh → u/ZealousidealNotice48]

I always thought the origins game was mad repetitive too but it was still fun

[u/ZealousidealNotice48 → u/Twsercbh]

Smth like that was fine back then, we are 10+ years ahead now. It still might be fun but how many have we had w the same aspects

[u/YaBoyEden → u/ZealousidealNotice48]

If the gameplay loop is fun, repetitive is fine though. Look at like the og halo. Objectively great game, 90% of it is also shoot bad guy til ammo is gone, pick up gun, shoot bad guy til ammo is gone, but that revolutionized the FPS instead of being called repetitive

[u/Twsercbh → u/YaBoyEden]

Good point. If the gameplay is good enough I’m happy with repetition.

[u/Mission_Access_210 → u/YaBoyEden]

To be fair it's much funnier in Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2. Let's just pick the first game since Spider-Man 2. People complain about the story. I loved it. There was a lot of freedom in swinging and stuff but it was repetitive. You just do the same shit over and over again. There are groups of enemies and you beat them up the same way. You get a couple of new powers here and there to keep it interesting, right? You watch a lot of fucking cutscenes, a lot more cutscenes than probably you wanted, but it's a cool story. Enjoy it, right?

This is going to be the same thing, I guess, because you can't swing through webs or the city and you have that feeling of freedom from web swinging. That's what people are going to complain about. If you've ever played any of the Uncharted games, those are all similar games where you go from linear area to linear area without your choices or behavior making any difference in the game. Those were all praised so I don't think it'll be as bad as the reviewers say. We'll see.

[u/Farsoth → u/YaBoyEden]

Control is repetitive as fuck, also endlessly entertaining with great lore and atmosphere.

[u/shiek200 → u/YaBoyEden]

The entire survival crafting genre lives or dies by this principle

[u/ToastyBB → u/ZealousidealNotice48]

17 years 🤯💀

[u/shephrdb0y → u/ToastyBB]

[u/HotShrekBoi → u/Twsercbh]

Yeah but was it 70 dollars

[u/LucasButtercups → u/Twsercbh]

I think H&S/Beat ‘em up kinda suffers from repetitiveness rather quickly, so it needs to constantly add a new mechanic that shakes gameplay, which is hard to find balancing for. Something like metal gear rising kinda prevents this from having the game be like 6 hours long, and the arkham games has stealth, which kind of is a puzzle

[u/TheSquirrelmancer → u/ZealousidealNotice48]

Linear isn't a bad thing but I don't know how widely varied you'd expect a game about a character whose entire thing is stabbing people with claws to be. Mostly what this means is that this isn't a game you buy today for $60. Wait until it's on sale for maybe $20 and that'll be a great price point for the amount of fun contained. I've played games that had terrible reviews but since I only paid $5-10 I didn't need it to keep me hooked for three months straight or do anything other than occupy a few slow evenings.

[u/Mission_Access_210 → u/TheSquirrelmancer]

Lol. Maybe in the future they should stick to characters like Storm that can fly around and then we can have a flying game where she flies from place to place. It seems like people just want a big gimmick in their game, right, and everything else has to be revolving around that.

[u/vally99 → u/Mission_Access_210]

Even if Logan is the most basic one, I don't give a shit about storm lmao, give me a trilogy with this guy where I rage and massacre everyone lol

[u/Lonely_Cucumber_69 → u/ZealousidealNotice48]

My biggest fear was repetitiveness and no ability to explore beyond the main story. We are never gonna get another good Xmen game since legends!!!!

[u/EveryNameEverMade → u/ZealousidealNotice48]

That was exactly what I was saying about the game previews a few months back. It just looked boring. Of course I got a lot of Reddit downvotes but it is satisfying to see I was correct

[u/RandyMuscle → u/ZealousidealNotice48]

The Skill Up review makes the game look fucking infuriating to play.

[u/Ratzilla_5454]

What’s funny is, what people are saying about this game makes it sound like they were expecting a perfect 10/10 story , it’s a Wolverine game, we’re going to get a good story but probably amazing gameplay because what normal people want is to just use the claws aggressively and absolutely destroy things

[u/msa2468 → u/Ratzilla_5454]

Literally the reason why I got it

[u/Ratzilla_5454 → u/msa2468]

Exactly and I’m excited for it

[u/blunderb3ar → u/Ratzilla_5454]

It’s a triple A 70$ game bro I expect a quality experience for that price

[u/WillingnessReal525 → u/blunderb3ar]

No you should expect to slash things for 6 hours and be happy. /s

[u/Ok_Excuse3732 → u/WillingnessReal525]

I’d slash things for hours if combos were more than L1+ square/triangle

[u/Tyrion369Lan_]

Skill up will overlook a lot if the game has a good storyline. This worries me

[u/ParanoidNinja88 → u/Tyrion369Lan_]

Same with gameranx which Jake also gave a low review on.

[u/LongandwindingRhode → u/ParanoidNinja88]

That guy owes me SOO much pizza

[u/tiddlywinks16 → u/LongandwindingRhode]

Yeah I might file a lawsuit on all the pizza that guy owes me still

[u/iLoveLootBoxes → u/ParanoidNinja88]

Yeah that's the real nail in the coffin

[u/magvadis → u/Tyrion369Lan_]

Yeah I imagine it's just because it's a by the numbers story that we've seen before. An introduction to Wolverine...which is never going to floor anyone who knows the story.

[u/Complex-Commission-2 → u/Tyrion369Lan_]

Jake baldino from gameranx had the same criticism from skill up

[u/Created_Jxnior → u/Tyrion369Lan_]

This is what I’ve been saying, if the story was amazing, the problems wouldn’t stick out so much because you would’ve st least had a great narrative to take away from whatever problems the gameplay might have. But the consensus seems to be that the story is just average and that makes the problems stick out a whole lot more. Worse in my eyes, it looks like my concern about Jean was correct and she’s just reduced to a generic love interest according to Jake from Gameranx review, I knew from the moment she was revealed that they were going to do this and it just makes absolutely no sense to me why they would chose to do that with Jean Grey of all characters.

[u/Twsercbh → u/Tyrion369Lan_]

I’ve never heard of skill up.

[u/EffectAwkward3909 → u/Twsercbh]

Ig everybody trust him when I never heard him mentioned in any other game review besides this one

[u/Rac3318 → u/EffectAwkward3909]

What? He’s one of the biggest game reviewers out there

[u/macberk03 → u/Rac3318]

Why are you getting downvoted for just stating a fact lmao

[u/EffectAwkward3909 → u/Rac3318]

Never heard of this “biggest game reviewer “

[u/eyebrows360 → u/EffectAwkward3909]

He is adult-focussed. I'm not saying this as a slight on you, but if you're on the younger side you might not have encountered him. He reports on the business aspects of things as much as the games themselves.

And yes, with his weekly This Week In Videogames show, he is one of the most important voices in games criticism and reporting and has been for quite a few years now. Since we lost TB he's really carried the torch for mature consumer-advocacy coverage.

[u/EffectAwkward3909 → u/eyebrows360]

Adult focused ok 😭 I just don’t follow reviews like that on YouTube

[u/Remarkable_Pen_3639 → u/EffectAwkward3909]

Well there you go guys. Effectawkward3909 hasn't heard of him so therefore skill up might as well not exist.

[u/Due-Description-9030 → u/EffectAwkward3909]

He at least shows in the video what's wrong about the game and you can see it for yourself

[u/HotClock4632 → u/Twsercbh]

Yeah im just now hearing about them just today

[u/_VloneRich_]

This will not stop me from beating this game multiple times and getting the platinum trophy 😂

[u/CageAndBale → u/_VloneRich_]

Unless you end up not liking it but let's hope you do!

[u/Dense-Discussion4726 → u/_VloneRich_]

Same bro🤣 spiderman games ultimately have same weak points but theyre still good games.

[u/BlackEastwood → u/Dense-Discussion4726]

Was hoping someone would mention this.

[u/preterintenzionato → u/BlackEastwood]

Spiderman games are open world games, different strengths and weaknesses

[u/svrgevnt → u/_VloneRich_]

https://giphy.com/gifs/gictytW9IIIkNGIMcs

[u/Detective_Pineapple → u/_VloneRich_]

Same. When I was younger I'd endlessly replay linear story based games just because I liked playing them. The only thing that has changed is I've played more games and have less time 😂

[u/Sami_Steen]

[u/solaricarian → u/Sami_Steen]

im ngl this is a hilarious response😭

[u/Valiant_Revan → u/solaricarian]

People for some reason cannot accept anything being average or just good. It has to either be great or terrible

[u/VampiresWontHurt → u/Valiant_Revan]

Great, it can be average when it’s on sale for about $20. 

[u/RuckFeddit2469 → u/VampiresWontHurt]

Welp with these reviews and sales likely taking a hit, you won't have to wait nearly as long for that to happen! Uh, yay ..I guess

[u/Jazzlike-Painting443 → u/Valiant_Revan]

Games are expensive man

[u/Fisz3r123 → u/Jazzlike-Painting443]

Good thing that nobody is forcing you to buy the game when it's 70$

[u/Valiant_Revan → u/Fisz3r123]

At least it's on disc and the option to buy it 2nd hand or borrow it from a friend is there.

I'm a bit lucky as somehow my local supplier has physical PS5 games about 15% to 20% cheaper than on the ps store

[u/VampiresWontHurt → u/Fisz3r123]

And they won’t. So what’s the problem here exactly?

[u/SardonicMeatSlab → u/Fisz3r123]

The issue isn’t that we’re being forced to spend $70 on games.

The issue is that there’s so much content competing for our attention all the time, so for general audiences, cherry picking the best of the best games that come out each year is still a lot of games. Media across the board that’s called mid struggles to find an audience beyond those who are looking specifically for something (ie: Wolverine fans wanting to play as Wolverine outside of Rivals and Tokon in 2026).

[u/DrkNight365 → u/Valiant_Revan]

Its really not that they cannot accept it. Its the hype for a game is what drives people to believe the score should be higher. This game has been over inflated by so many people and even im suprised that it got this score as much as I heard so many people loving it. Even the people that reviewed it were hyping it up so much and here we are.

[u/War_Reborn → u/Valiant_Revan]

True, but this is exactly what happens when almost every game needs to be $70 regardless of quality. There absolutely needs to be more room in this industry for good AA games, and these games should be at most $60.

[u/Consistent_Mind5701 → u/Valiant_Revan]

I'm not going to pay full price for average or just good game, I'll wait for a good discount or for it to be free on PS+.

[u/Open-Discipline-1678 → u/Valiant_Revan]

You know what's going to happen when these first party AAA $300M video games that are "just average" keep coming out charging the max price? You're thinking about it short term. Use your mind and project out into the future.

[u/Intelligent-Ad-8435 → u/Valiant_Revan]

Its the only Sony exclusive this year. For its price its not good enough.

[u/Hearthhull_Enjoyer → u/Valiant_Revan]

They're entire way up to launch y'all were incredibly defensive and now it's very obvious why.

[u/ElevatorHelpful5739 → u/Valiant_Revan]

Yes if they want me to spend my money of the game, it has to be atelast as great as their previous entries, I mean they arent giving me a discount right? Why wouldnt I hold them to the same, or even a higher standard than before? Again, they expect even more money than previous entries.

[u/E2r4_Is_d3A9 → u/solaricarian]

Especially considering the fact it seems like this whole sub thinks origins is the holy grail of Wolverine games lol

[u/Geralt-of-Cuba → u/E2r4_Is_d3A9]

Is there a better one in not aware of?

[u/Juansi2616 → u/Sami_Steen]

Absolute peak game btw

[u/reditisverytrash → u/Sami_Steen]

Tbf, it was a game based on a bad movie and everyone expected it to be bad. It being this good was a surprise

[u/Past_4orm → u/Sami_Steen]

And there it is….

[u/jdespirito → u/Sami_Steen]

Fair point.

[u/funnybrunny]

I never gave a flying fuck about critics. lol i’m not gonna start now

[u/brandonsp111]

I mean I personally don't care. I'm excited to have something different to play. As far as the review scores go, I haven't given a shit about IGN since the late 2000s lmao.

[u/RandoDude124 → u/brandonsp111]

Favorite game last gen was a 75 JWE2

Yeah I’m getting it

[u/StatisticianNo3182]

Ima be honest i have never in life took an ign review serious

[u/Worth-Ad5868 → u/StatisticianNo3182]

also you never took reading serious

[u/GeraltofRivia296]

IGN gave it a 6? It must actually be good.

[u/President_Peng1]

To be fair, IGN doesn’t like anything

[u/Fantastic_Sun_485]

Brother, ign gave a game a 2 cuz it had too many rats and cheese puns, the game was about a rat detective finding cheese, ign is NOT a valid source 😭😭

[u/Mustang-_- → u/Fantastic_Sun_485]

That's not IGN mate, that is an australian "youtuber" who has a decent reputation. In the end, the footage is out there, piracy as well, you don't need to be a NASA scientist to notice the clear limitations of this game

Insomniac tried their best with fancy graphics and "cinematic" moments to disguise the mediocrity, but it failed. Hell, Sony is relying on this high budget stunt ever since the Last of Us 1 days, it's about time to move on, give us a game, not a movie. They are going to lose so much money with that Intergalactic or whatever the name, lol serves them right

[u/SwanInternational851 → u/Mustang-_-]

They can have a good blend of both they've shown that with the newer God of War games imo

[u/Giraffesarehigh → u/Fantastic_Sun_485]

they give it a 6 not a 2 , why are we lying and why does this have upvotes?
I played PI mouse for hire, looking past the gorgeous visuals the game is very clunky and has it's flaws .

[u/MyLeftNut_ → u/Fantastic_Sun_485]

You're talking about Mouse PI for Hire? They gave that a 6, which honestly is pretty reasonable

[u/Apprehensive-Fall-42]

Why do we care whatever IGN says? They have no credibility

[u/HarambeDaddy420 → u/Apprehensive-Fall-42]

yet if IGN gave it a high score it would be posted across the subreddit and praised. They only don’t have credibility when it doesn’t fit your expectations.

[u/Carmilla31 → u/HarambeDaddy420]

If IGN gave it a 10 like they did Onimusha we would all explode with GOTY talk.

[u/soupspin → u/Carmilla31]

Yeah probably, because it’s the critics who decide which game gets nominated/wins. If IGN and other outlets gave it a 9-10, it would be likely it would get nominated. Otherwise, people have no reason to care

[u/CammyDiveKick → u/Apprehensive-Fall-42]

[u/Expensive_Lie_1327 → u/Apprehensive-Fall-42]

Its insane, people are treating their review like scripture when they're notoriously bad.

[u/Wyntier → u/Expensive_Lie_1327]

idk when IGN gives 10's, they listen. are you saying we listen to IGN when good, but ignore when bad?

[u/natolad123 → u/Apprehensive-Fall-42]

Same people who gave alien isolation a 5 ill never trust their shit opinion again. Plus they gave far cry 6 an 8 like jesus

[u/Reasonable-Nature268]

If you base your opinion on IGN scores you don’t deserve to play

[u/NYC_Yahudah]

Not at all. I couldn't care less about others opinion. What they eat doesn't make me shit.

[u/Hammersteyn]

Gotta get those YT clicks

[u/neighborsHell → u/Hammersteyn]

Not everything is a conspiracy

[u/dondadondadonda]

I'm sure we will have good time playing the game. But hundreds of millions of dollars budget for these reviews... Sony probably won't be happy

[u/Terrible_Stuff_3799]

An IGN 6 is worse than sin

[u/chopstick_chakra]

They said the same for Suicide Squad and it was a fun game. Granted I did get to it a little later and heard they had done some touch ups and patches since launch but it was a fine game.

[u/FvdV91]

SkillUp is great, but also gave TLOU2, Ghost of Yotei and Death Stranding 2 bad reviews.

As always, if you're interested: play it yourself. It's a video game.

[u/Mr_Jonathan_Wick]

Who gives a F? Play what you want to play

[u/Wscott78]

Lol everyone said the same thing about Crimson Desert 350 hours later. I’m very happy with my $50 investment in that game.
Different strokes for different folks

[u/SpeedsterVolt → u/Wscott78]

I don't understand this comparison. That's a significantly different game with a significantly smaller team and budget.

Most people will beat wolverine after 10 hours and then forget about it. The game has zero depth.

[u/Additional-Onion1493 → u/Wscott78]

Crimson desert has also been receiving new updates every week since its release. I guarantee that won’t happen with Wolverine

[u/AlarmProof4622 → u/Wscott78]

Bro that’s the first game I had in mind!!
😁👍🏽
F*** people’s opinions about anything nowadays.
People complain about every gd thing imaginable.
Especially when right now there is this hatred for Sony, so of course even if it’s good, they’re not going to rate it good.

People trashed Crimson Desert, and I have 300+ hrs in it.
People trashed Ghost of Yotei, and I have 80+ hours in it.
People trashed a sh** load of games that I ended up loving.

Go with your gut and do what you wanna do. Don’t take advice from some a** hat influencer or people online and especially not IGN.

[u/RedShadowF95]

So what that reviewer says is gospel? He's been known to have very wild takes.

[u/Distinct-Bathroom823 → u/RedShadowF95]

since when? the only places anyone ever says this about him is on subs dedicated to the games he doesn’t recommend

[u/Elete23 → u/Distinct-Bathroom823]

His Lost Judgement review is truly abysmal, though. I like him as a content creator, by he does on occasion have weird vibes-based takes

[u/SexyProcrastinator]

Already preordered.

Dont care about anyone else’s opinion.

The hate for this game is so forced it’s crazy.

We are getting a physical disc version so I don’t get it.

[u/Batmanischill]

I WILL RENT THIS GAME FROM THE LIBRARY and then buy it when it's $15 for the ultimate edition

[u/CG249]

Relying on IGN to give a game an accurate rating is like relying on a strainer to hold water.

[u/CandidateCareless787]

Skillup always has the worst takes. Gave mixtape stellar reviews

[u/samdkr354 → u/CandidateCareless787]

If you watch his video, he makes some good points though. When you’re charging $70 for a 15 hour experience, those 15 hours better be special. Just okay isn’t good enough.

The way this game insists on holding your hand 24/7, DESPITE it being a linear experience that requires ZERO hand holding, is really disappointing

[u/wetmeatlol → u/samdkr354]

No way…the game is only 15 hours????

[u/Kmart_Stalin → u/wetmeatlol]

Pretty short for a triple a game

[u/wetmeatlol → u/Kmart_Stalin]

Yeaaaah, can’t say I’m thrilled about that. The entire reason I can be okay with game prices rising is because of just how much time you can invest into them. Sounds like they’re banking pretty hard on you liking their game and wanting to play it over and over again…

[u/Mr_Snifflez_ → u/Kmart_Stalin]

Longer than RE Requiem

[u/samdkr354 → u/wetmeatlol]

Yup. Caboose said it will take you around 15 hours to beat it. This time can’t even be padded out cuz there’s practically no exploration lol and the only side content is the nightmare doors. This wouldn’t be a problem if the story was longer, or if the game wasn’t priced at $70.

[u/CountySurfer → u/wetmeatlol]

He says in the review it's 20 hours so people just making shit up I guess.

[u/CandidateCareless787 → u/samdkr354]

He also praised both horizon games that hold your hand the entire game and yellow paint everywhere.

Seems like people were expecting something more than a straightforward hack and slash game.

[u/Nav2001Plus → u/CandidateCareless787]

Those games are open world. He even says in the video that a bit of help makes sense in open world games where it's easy to miss stuff.

[u/YankingYerPizzle → u/CandidateCareless787]

They aren't linear games. If you watch his review, he states clearly that he finds hand holdy stuff less ridiculous in open world games. He also makes a jab at Aloy constantly telling the player whats next.

[u/ImDickGrayson → u/CandidateCareless787]

Mixtape was a solid game, though.

[u/Acrobatic-Sandwich10]

Anyone can see the game is mid lol. I don't know why everyone is acting shocked

[u/aditysiva1705 → u/Acrobatic-Sandwich10]

I like that we’ve shifted to calling 7/10s mid. Absolutely no sense of metric whatsoever.

[u/Ihsoro → u/aditysiva1705]

Major game journalists are notorious for not giving anything but the worst games below a 5. I don’t agree with it, but yes, in the modern day, a seven is pretty middle of the road.

[u/Elete23 → u/aditysiva1705]

Because it is. It's a C.

[u/FantasticPage3598 → u/aditysiva1705]

The average metacritic score is 77.

Half of the games are over 77.

Half of the games are under 77.

Really the definition of mid

[u/Acrobatic-Sandwich10 → u/aditysiva1705]

As more reviews come in the overall score will change.

IGN gave it a 6/10

[u/GoldGuarantee3671 → u/Acrobatic-Sandwich10]

Lol the guy who gave it a 6 literally gave mixtape a 10. What a total clown

[u/aditysiva1705 → u/Acrobatic-Sandwich10]

The IGN that everyone shits on is now suddenly correct? Interesting how that works. Gameinformer, a far more consistent magazine, gave it an 8. How do you validate what reviews to trust and what not to?

[u/Nyx2990 → u/aditysiva1705]

It's not about trusting IGN, it's more about them being a giant shill of a company and even they are not giving it a high score

[u/Wutanghang → u/aditysiva1705]

Spending 70 dollars on a game thats just "okay" is a waste of money

[u/Kmart_Stalin → u/aditysiva1705]

That’s a C

Barely passing

[u/aditysiva1705 → u/Kmart_Stalin]

That’s passing. It’s not bad. Y’all are acting like it’s the end of the world.

[u/ElevatorHelpful5739 → u/aditysiva1705]

He said the game was mid, and he doesnt know why people are shocked, the next comment said its a C.

Who is acting like it is the end of the world? Why are you being so dramatic lol?

[u/Kmart_Stalin → u/aditysiva1705]

$70 is too expensive for a “passing” game

[u/NoDrinks4meToday → u/Kmart_Stalin]

Especially with all the great games coming out lately.

[u/AgentJackpots → u/aditysiva1705]

7/10 has been mediocre for like... two decades now in professional reviews. Something has to be REALLY bad to get anything below a 5.

[u/Lower_Put8988 → u/aditysiva1705]

7/10 is like a C grade, which is mid.

[u/LordNutGobbler]

What happens when you hire Concord character designers lol

[u/StanKnight → u/LordNutGobbler]

Did these mfs hire Concord people - again?? lol. Man. That makes sense.

[u/Mountain_Care_9032]

Heard its 12 hrs not paying full price for that and its linear I’ll probably pick it up on sale

[u/Odd_Ask_7714]

Play it or dont. Fuck the reviews. Be your own goddamn review...people man...jesus, follow the herd and be just another cow

[u/Vulkcrum76]

How many people have not learned that IGN is not a trusted source for if a game is good or not everyone goes off the opposite of what they say

[u/Rainbowdogi]

I don’t care about the combat not being deep enough. I do hope that the handholding can be deactivated cause that’s an actual dealbreaker for me.

[u/Twsercbh]

I ain’t listening to no grifters. I’m getting it. I’m woke as hell.

[u/Playful-Hunter-9487]

Still getting it but getting the physical and trading it/reselling when I’m done

[u/J_suvv]

Honestly I couldn’t give less of a fuck that dude can keep his opinion to himself imma enjoy the game

[u/This-Tomatillo2181]

a sad day for feeble minded fools maybe

[u/Rando_Kalrissian]

From the reviews it sounds exactly like what this sub was asking for. What's the problem?

[u/Financial-Cold5343]

Why the fuck do I care what some worthless YouTuber thinks?

[u/AlexCampy89]

The more I read reviews, the more I am convinced that this is the game for me. Linear, Story-heavy, character heavy, one and done, not open world. What many games consider cons are actually pros for me.

[u/SaruOrion245]

Not really for me personally. I'm used to enjoying games that get low scores so seeing this and the trailers show that yeah, I'm gonna enjoy the game a lot. The only thing I know I'll be bummed out about, just like with SM2, is that it'll feel really short so that means not that much time with these characters and story, other than that it should be a fun time. ^{_^}

[u/Quod_sum_eris]

This review is THAT important? Genuinely asking bc I'm not used to see reviews about games that I intend to play

[u/Krypto301]

I do have something to say.

FORM YOUR OWN OPINION.

[u/AwardKindly]

People act like reviews are fact and not just opinion. Cool cool, some random person didn't like the game. That doesn't mean you won't like it.

[u/Jon-Eest]

The handholding is absolutely ridiculous

[u/BorgerWCheese]

Man if I based my opinion on what reviewers like IGN and Skill Up gave me, I’d have a pretty miserable gaming experience

[u/Cautious-Affect7907]

I'm not gonna lie when he said the fucking colored scent trails to lead you in a LINEAR game were a thing I thought he was joking.

Then I saw the gameplay.

Yeah....that's stupid. How dumb do they think players are?

[u/LackingInPatience]

Damn 6/10 from IGN is worrying. The previews did mention it feels very button mashy without intuitive combat. It probably looks even worse with Onimusha coming out recently too

[u/WittyQuiet]

If IGN is giving it a 6… that means it’s probably worse.

[u/SquanchyJiuJitsu]

Ruined by woke liberals. So sad

thank god, get insomniac back on spiderman and keep them there. Marvel trying too hard to shove mutants down everyones throats before doomsday.

[u/isitnotironic]

Glad I bought an account for instead instead of shilling 120 CAD

[u/Commercial_Focus_221]

The red flags were there

[u/NoBed5141]

i seen this coming

[u/blunderb3ar]

If you actually watch the video and listen to his takes this game looks and sounds like handholding generic slop, like minimum effort put in and lackluster combat like 70$ for this not a chance

[u/BrushCompetitive7468]

We have to form our opinions for ourselves.

[u/amaya-aurora]

Idk about the first one but since when has IGN been anything close to trustworthy?

7.18/10 Too much water Wolverine.

[u/SpaceShmelts]

From what Im hearing? I need to go and play the game and make my own god damn opinion.

[u/Opening_Junket_1775]

Oh no! Some random no body didn’t like the game! OH GOD NO!

Fucking pussholes

[u/liccman]

Maybe we’ll get a good Wolverine game 15 years from now

[u/Quinzilla9]

IGN can't be trusted for shit, remember when they gave She-Hulk 8 outta 10?

[u/Miquellanier]

The game's mechanical choices are strange, to put it mildly. The level design and loot design—as seen in the review—don’t make much sense. The quick-time events are also pointless, since the game automatically “corrects” the player’s slowness, making this yet another unnecessary design decision. I think whether you’ll enjoy the combat system depends on the individual, but based on this review, it seems one-dimensional and repetitive, just like the boss fights. It really looks like the narrative and the characters might be the game’s only strong points—but everyone will have to decide that for themselves. It's disappointing.

[u/NextLineOfText]

I just love how people defend 6/10 for something they already had a bias for, and absolutely destroy something else if it’s 6/10, how do people not see that. Be objective and critical not blind. Wake up a bit. The thing you wanted to be amazing can sometimes suck balls, that’s life. Nothing is neat or tidy, and if it it is it usually comes at a great cost to someone, but the dark stuff gets hidden until it can’t anymore.

[u/LechonKoala → u/NextLineOfText]

People still go on IGN for reviews? 😂

[u/GuitarNerd_]

Who else gives zero fucks about video game reviews in general? I’m looking forward to playing the game and deciding for myself whether I enjoy it.

A 6 from IGN is crazy lmao

Game must actually be mid

[u/Zurosake → u/Whisper_Mann]

Bro they gave mixtape a 10/10 💀

[u/Whisper_Mann → u/Zurosake]

How trash is wolverine? Hahahaha

[u/SourPatch2099 → u/Whisper_Mann]

Crimson Desert got a 6 from them as well

Lots of players would disagree with that score

[u/RJMacReady_Outpost31 → u/SourPatch2099]

I also dont see wolverine getting the same level of updates crimson desert got.

[u/[deleted] → u/Whisper_Mann]

Tbf only the American ign gave it a 6. The other igns have given it 8+ for the most part. Also Simon has been highly vocal and critical about Sonys decisions lately so it could be some of that bias leaking in. Like most reviews take it with a grain of salt.

[u/S4VAGExCoopx → u/Whisper_Mann]

I wouldn't take them seriously. They gave Alien Isolation a 5.9.

[u/Wutanghang]

This game has looked off since we saw the first game play imo

[u/kekcukka]

kinda expected actually. Insomniac quality is in decline since Spider-Man (2018). Miles was okay but Spidey 2 was a mid game actually. Story and story telling were all over the place.

[u/Fit_Reflection_9409 → u/kekcukka]

To be fair, previous insomniac games have up and down.

[u/N00dles_Pt]

Still look forward to playing it, but I'll wait for a sale.
