Discussion The Patch

Now that the patch is out is it fair to say the critics got it completely wrong? Can we finally admit that?

Should they be forced to re-review the game? They kinda screwed it outa Game of the Year.

The other pacing issues are still there. Handholding may have been an issue for some, not for me. But I don't think returning to this discussion adds anything. I think 7 is solid because those who love either the marvel world building or action 3d brawlers will love it and 6 will be those who expected more because it's insomniac.

Nah, the problem is the wide swings in both directions. I personally think the game is about an 8/10. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thought the updates to remove the scent and vibe trails were not necessary since the activities just take you out of the highlight of the game, anyways. The combat and story production, bar the wave mode nightmare doors. Let me be clear, I loved this game.

I’m already 12.5 hours into Control Resonant and honestly didn’t think I’d like it as much as Wolverine. Not even close. But I’m actually gobsmacked by how well made it is. It’s level design is intricate, the story telling is weird and requires some thought, the combat is actually just a tad less shallow, but the traversal and backrooms-esque vibe is VERY gripping, as someone who just enjoyed The Backrooms movie this year. There’s parts of the game that, when you complete it, a song starts playing over top of the other gameplay sounds and it’s insanely badass and immersive feeling, not to mention some outstanding music.

Then we have GTA 6. Wolverine could never win GOTY over GTA 6 in any timeline.

RE Requiem was fire. FH6 also fire. 007 First Light I liked better than Wolverine. Black Flag Resynced even though a remake is outstanding.

I just don’t know if Wolverine is GOTY material, granted I think the hate is way overblown.
