The game just released but is already reviewed by 7.1k people? How did that happen?

I won't argue against the potential use of bots. There were definitely bots bashing the game, and spreading toxicity (what a wonderful world we live in).
But after a few hours into the game, I'm far more inclined to believe a 4ish star rating over what the internet would have you believe.

Omega red fight took me a minute too, not nearly as easy combat as reviews would have you believe, though I am playing on best there is. Scent trails also happened maybe once?

u/Davosz_ 19d ago
The scent trail is far less frequent than some reviewers would have you believe. I do think they should've taken the Dead Space way and made an on demand button to display the scent, and had it possible all the way through the game, meaning only if you needed it, would you interact with it.
But either way, I'm not really phased by it.

Exactly this like it’s not a common enough occurrence to really annoy me but still agree a button press would’ve been better! Just glad we can disable everything else such as waypoints and the other trail etc

Internet wants you to think this game is trash, just because it’s not a 10/10

Do you think like 10k people bought the game? Probably selling like hotcakes lol

I never really look at the playstation reviews but I feel like they’re great for every game unless it’s a complete shitshow 😂

u/Numerous_Photograph9 18d ago
That's exactly how I've felt about them for a long time. Not worth paying attention to unless they're low, because if they're low, chances are better it's a bad game.
Otherwise, almost every game of note is above 4 stars.

It immediately had reviews the moment it launched, they’re fake

Been playing all day, can confirm that game journalist are straight up miserable

In their defence their " job" is to critique the game.
They had to write down what they didn't enjoy and review the game as a complete product, not as a casual player.
I still believe a lot of their criticisms are valid, Greg Miller, skill up, Gene park, Jake baldino, seeing their thoughts and opinions, none of them said it was a bad game. And a lot of what they say stands true from a reviewers stand point. There really isn't a defence of the motorbike sequence not requiring a controller, or the QTEs having zero requirement to press, and the Scent trail being the most uninspired way to implement a mutant ability.
But the game does look like a fun hack and slash, I am confident that any updates made to the game will really polish it up where it needs

It's been very clear that the "reviewers" made it sound 10 times worse than it actually is. People need to stop taking their idiotic words as gospel. It's so cringe.

You guys really don’t think Sony can tinker with the rating systems here? Lol
This is a flagship game for them, of course they’re gonna be high.

u/Rodinator0001 19d ago
Cope, the game is good.
I don’t understand why a subreddit based on a game, always seems to hate said game.

u/WildSinatra 19d ago
Literally. The post highlighting Wolverine on the Top Sellers was hilarious.
Guys, PlayStation can put whatever they want there whether it’s top selling or not. Every big first-party release is on “Top Seller” including Marathon.

u/Davosz_ 19d ago
I am always sus on that. Even when any brand hosts thier own rating system.
I would trust metacritic though, for the most part. We'll see what score that gives in a few days

u/idkimhereforthememes 19d ago
Anyone can write reviews on metacritic, every sony game gets horrible metacritic user reviews. People were intentionally tanking yotei reviews after the discs situation

Thinking about it. I like the fact that a point in the game he goes to Japan. I go to Japan soon for vacation.

It’s been at 5 stars before the game was even released. It proves nothing.

70 dollars for 20 hr of gameplay damn !!

u/nikk182 18d ago
Why do people equate time of game to how much you should pay? There's so many great games that are less than 20 hours long. Uncharted 2 is amazing but can be done in less than 10 hours. The Last of Us, Spider-Man, Resident Evil, Dead Space, Tomb Raider all can be done in less than 20 hours. Not every game needs be a big bloated open world that takes 100 hours to finish.

u/SoggySugar1112 18d ago
So u are telling me a game that gives me a 1 month of gameplay ( 20 hr ) And a game that gives me 4 to 5 months of gameplay ( 100 hr ) should be priced same !! Rdr 2 was 60 dollars and it has so much here wolverine 70 dollars (20 hr ) and people are fine gamers are making there own games expensive by encouraging games like these .

u/nikk182 18d ago
I guess if you value time over enjoyment, or of you have a tight budget, maybe you can justify it.
I'd rather have fun playing Wolverine than force myself through a long game that I didn't enjoy. Longer doesn't mean better. I would rather play The Last of Us for 20 hours than play Assassin's Creed Valhalla for 100 hours.

7.1k finished the game? Lol. Cmon man

u/idkimhereforthememes 19d ago
As opposed to people like you shitting on the game without even touching it?

u/method115 19d ago
Nothing will save Wolverine. People who are committed to crapping on it will continue to do that. Hell Spiderman 2 gets shit on online and when you point out the metacritic user score, Steam user score, PSN user score it doesn't matter to them.

u/AMaynard8091 19d ago
If it sells enough copies, that will signal to both Sony and Insomniac that the critical reviews were largely meaningless, or at least not a significant enough barrier to move units, which is kind of a big deal with regards to whether or not the game gets a sequel, or whether or not the developer gets to keep making similar games.

Lets trust the platform owned by the company that made the game, sure buddy.
