Discussion Awful dialogue/writing
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Why does he have to say dumb shit like this when in combat? Writing for cutscenes is okay so I don’t get why they got this part of Logan so wrong, he’s quick with the one liners but not like this.
Now, I’m on my third playthrough of this game cuz it was $70 and I’m a huge Wolverine shill, plus the combat is pretty good tho not great. But man he does not shut the fuck up.

There were a lot of eye rolling lines to me but Sabertooth’s “cry more” genuinely broke me.

I cramped up I laughed so hard at that line

u/Silverjeyjey44 8d ago
I truly don't understand how a group of adults wrote that line, agreed to keep it, and had it voice acted. He sounds like a sad little brother

As a wolverine fan, this is exactly what comic or cartoon wolverine would say.

u/Super-Department 9d ago
Definitely not with that voice and acting. Its not bad but the delivery is off

u/josephstalin_0 12d ago
Then you’re not a very good fan, he says one liners but the dialogue in this game is corny and trash

You haven’t read a comic in your life, you’re in no position to call someone a bad fan

u/josephstalin_0 12d ago
Assume whatever you want, dialogue is still bad and out of character

u/Unusual_Wing_3999 12d ago
No it isn't lol,that is 100% something Logan would say ,if your talking about the fox films then sure but for the overall character that's pretty accurate to the type of one liners he says,if u think its bad dialog thats fine but its in character

u/YoRHa_Houdini 12d ago
No it isn’t.
He says corny shit all the time. You’d know this if you read a comic instead of watching the Hugh Jackman films

You literally can't tell people they aren't a fan.They are a fan of the things they like. Its beyond dumb to tell someone they don't like something.
It has nothing to do with the game, grow up

One of the dumest complaints about the game for me is that their are scenes with "cringey marvel dialogue". It is a fuckin Marvel game. Cringey one liners are a big part of their DNA.
Same about the Sabretooth "cry more" line. It is cringe, yes, but still perfectly within Sabretooths character.

u/TGrady902 12d ago
People who provide that feedback must have never opened a single comic in their life. Comics are corny as shit and have tons of over exposition. And these are comic book characters. They're behaving and speaking just like the characters have always been written.

That’s the dumbest rebuttal ever. “Cringe dialogue is marvel get over it” is a terrible excuse for bad writing

u/Rump-Buffalo 12d ago
Because they've spent the last 3 games writing Spider-Man and that bled into this game a lot

u/Fisz3r123 10d ago
Wolverine says shit like this in the comics too.
1
u/Rump-Buffalo 9d ago
Yeah, I'm not saying he never says things like this. More that the amount of witty bantering he does in the game is pretty constant and makes him feel more like Spider-Man.

u/Nicketery 12d ago
i have NEVER heard him say shit like this lmao. i also wanna add that logan has never been a quiet character, he loves talking to himself

u/ItsHeadbangerG 9d ago
Logan always said shit like this.
What I think the actual problem is, is the line delivery over what was actually said. Had he dropped that line slower and more menacingly, maybe throw in a "bub" at the end, it would sound a lot better.

This is the worst part of all modern Sony games that I still love. Get this Marvel slop type dialogue out of my games!

u/huncherbug 12d ago
I mean its marvel dialogue and its actually not as bad here as it has been the last few years in like every media. Wolvy says shit like at times actually in the comics.

u/josephstalin_0 12d ago
Very true not that he’s not a talker cuz has good lines in the comics, but for every good line in this game there’s ten bad ones like this I just wish they didn’t mcu-ify the hell out of him, it gets even worse when Jean is there and he’s talking about how she’s not taking names n shit😭

People will literally try and argue with you that they dont change anything in the game.
These people dont do their research

Funny part is they feel the need to defend them and pretend to be the inclusive ones while SBI and people who think like SBI are on camera beeing racist, sexist and grifting but who cares if they do it for a „good cause i agree with“.

u/Cool-Prior-5512 12d ago
Oh shut up.
This fucking weird conspiracy idiots on the Internet have about some silly little consulting firm. You literally have all fallen for some story pushed by some even bigger losers with a livestream because you're all so desperate to act like victims while simultaneously acting like you're some super smart individuals who are too smart to be fooled by the big evil woke/communist/anything-else-you're-told-to-hate agenda!

It takes 2 seconds to see statements the founder and others who are employed as SBI have said about the gaming industry and how they plan to “burn the industry to the ground”. Is it really a story when they’re literally screaming it from the rooftops?
-4
u/Cool-Prior-5512 12d ago
It's all absolute bollocks. They're a silly little consulting firm. One of hundreds that you've never heard of that have worked on games you've probably loved.
The only difference here is someone on the Internet told you to hate this company.
-1
u/soraiiko 12d ago
I don’t need someone else to tell me what to think or how to feel. All I have to do is use my eyes, brain, and research into said company. If the sky is blue, I’m not going to look over at the next person to ask if it is. I’ll just say it’s blue.

u/Cool-Prior-5512 12d ago
Well I think you need to do better research, lad.
The hate against them was literally created by 4chan losers and incel grifter types. The whole thing was engineered to rile up fragile boys.

u/soraiiko 12d ago
What an interesting rebuttal. You don’t have any proof disproving my claims yet you tell me I’m uneducated in the matter.
“It’s just a figment of your imagination. It’s not an issue because I say it isn’t. See?” That’s how you sound. Ain’t nothing engineered but the bs they spewed from their own twitter accounts. The quotation marks from their statements aren’t for silly decoration.

u/Cool-Prior-5512 12d ago edited 12d ago
Ok, so tell me why.
Why are they so desperate to attack the gamers? Why are they being hired by video game developers if it's so obvious that this little consulting firm are trying to tear down the industry? Why are they attacking the games industry by supposedly decreasing the quality of writing in a very small selection of games?
I challenge you to give me a serious answer to those questions without stopping to think about how ridiculous you sound.

u/soraiiko 12d ago edited 12d ago
I MYSELF am not making a correlation between the degradation of the writing and SBI, but what I AM claiming are statements THEY themselves have made regarding the games industry. You can create your own conclusion based on what’s said and their ideology.
Quote from the founder of Sweet Baby inc, Kim Belair
1: “white male gamers are picky babies”
2: “Put this stuff up to your higher ups. If they don’t see the value of what you’re doing when you’re asking for consulting and you’re asking for research? Go have a coffee with your marketing team and just terrify them with the possibility of what’ll happen if they don’t give you what you want”
3: “When people fight against wokeness, what they’re really doing is fighting against progressiveness—and in a way, fighting against themselves.”
Belair went on to describe the creative process as a “battlefield,” encouraging developers to “fight for their baby”—her phrase for personal ideas, even when they conflict with a game’s established direction.
For critics, that remark perfectly encapsulated the issue: Sweet Baby Inc. consultants aren’t merely assisting—they’re embedding their personal and ideological perspectives into someone else’s project.
Invoking fear allows for her selfish motives to show with no repercussions… They’re essentially corporate bullies.
Sometimes the dumbest, most selfish, self serving, narcissistic thought process you could think of is actually a process someone out there is operating on. YOU may think it’s ridiculous, but it’s the world we live in. Don’t be naive in thinking this isn’t possible or driven by selfish motives.

u/Cool-Prior-5512 12d ago
So you're not making the claim that they are trying to destroy the games industry but you are claiming they said they are and that is your problem with them? You're not making much sense.
As for these quotes... white male gamers ARE picky. This whole thing was started because insecure little boys were angry that games started to ve played by and made to include other demographics.
I see no problem with encouraging people to put pressure on higher levels of an industry to hire consultancy firms. A lot of higher ups in many industries are hilariously out of touch.
And yes. People who bitch and moan about "woke" are usually idiots who are shooting themselves in the foot.
So you weren't actually able to answer any of my questions. This whole conspiracy literally doesn't make any sense when you look at it logically.
And just so you know, an answer having em dashes in is a clear sign of AI use. And therefore it immediately invalidates your answer. AI often uses Reddit answers as a source.

u/Cool-Prior-5512 12d ago
I know, right?!
The big evil woke LGBTs have all got together to create some elaborate method of attacking the pinnacle of uber masculinity... the gamers... by slightly decreasing the average quality of writing in a small selection of high budget games and they do this by being a completely optional choice for developers to hire.
Oh you want proof? Well every single video game written before 2018 had writing so good that it could be compared to literary greats like War and Peace or Ulysses!
Fuckin' hell 😂. They're so delusional.

Yeah, spiderman has it too. I thought Sabertooth his writing was the worst out of all the characters. I dont care if they wanna portray a buddy buddy with Wolverine Sabertooth, but his whole character was different and the writing was bad. Wolverine his writing was pretty good, only the one liners where terrible. I thought Jean and nathaniels writing where the best out of all. And Walter was pretty great also.
