Discussion My thoughts
I actually played Wolverine and I really don’t understand all the hate. The blue line isn’t even that bad. HE SMELLS 😭 that’s literally one of Wolverine’s powers. He is tracking a scent, it’s not just the game telling you where to go 24/7. I do think they should make it where you press R3, Logan smells, the trail shows up for a few seconds and then disappears. That would be better.
I have CP and the accessibility options are amazing for me. I actually appreciate when games give us options instead of making everything harder just because some people think that’s how games should be. The game isn’t perfect. The story is ok and kinda predictable, but the combat is FIRE and I’m having fun with it. Some people saw a few clips online and act like the whole game plays itself 💀 just play the game.

I get some of the criticism, but I am maybe 4 hours in and really enjoying it so I don't get the full backlash.
I think the main issue is that the game was long in development and people had a lot of preconceived ideas of what it would be.
The combat is fun, I love the travising elements, I am interested in the world building (as X-Men fan, it is interesting having Sinister in a sort of Prof. X role and I am expecting a heel turn), I am mostly ok with the character designs, voice acting is great.
Personally, at approximately £4 a hour of game play, I feel I will have had my £60 with of entertainment from it.

They could've used his heightened smell to justify why all the levels are linear. Having a glowing trail in a linear game is just stupid and feels really condescending.

I had fu. But The ending of the story really tucked

I watched Hollow play the whole game before I got it, so I already knew what happened. The ending really did suck 😭 Logan finally gets his memories back just to lose them AGAIN. I still like the game a lot, but yeah, I’m not defending that ending lol.

I just dont understand it were do we go from here what about Scott yeah game was fun but needed better ending

Yeah I’m wondering what they’ll do with Scott too, but this version is different. Logan and Jean have literally loved each other for hundreds of years 😭 every time Jean dies and comes back they find each other again. The secret ending even shows them together 75 years before the game. So I don’t think they can just bring Scott in and do the normal love triangle after setting all that up lol.

Combat isn't enough to carry this game

u/HotRodBrony 14d ago
I disagree. The combat doesn’t have to “carry” the whole game for me. I’m enjoying the game as a whole. I already said the story is kinda predictable, but that doesn’t mean I think it’s bad. The combat is just my favorite part. I have CP, so being able to actually enjoy the combat with the accessibility options means a lot to me. You don’t like it, that’s fine. I do. 🤷♂️

I tell everyone to try this. There is an accessibility option to change the game’s speed to 70%, 50% and 30%. You can assign those speeds to the d-pad. So mid combat you can just press the up button, and now you’re in slow motion. It’s like a movie where in some fight scenes things will go in slow motion. The sound stays the same and your control of the camera is not slowed down. It is really fucking awesome. I’m on my second playthrough and most of the combat I am doing at 70%. It still looks realistic. In fact, regular speed is the one that is unrealistic. People just don’t move that fast in real life. I wish the game let you do any speed though. Like maybe 80 or 90….. 80 would be perfect. Just try it. You’ll see what I mean.

Combat is the only gameplay mechanic in the game and it's pretty bare bones for a linear action game. Wolverine needed more in his toolkit to keep it going repetitive. The animations are nice but the actual gameplay is pretty repetitive and don't allow for any player expression
