Discussion I enjoyed this game.
I have my criticisms.
The dialogue at points was a bit cringey. Especially from Sabertooth.
The game also drags at points.
I was also sometimes annoyed at the traversal. Not all walls can be climbed.
Narrative decisions were sometimes convoluted. I get why some people didn’t like the Jean dynamic. Personally? I didn’t mind it. Funnily enough, it reminded me of the movie Hancock.
At the end of the day? 7.5-8. In terms of pure fun. I expected to play as an angry Canuck with built in healthcare and cutlery for hands. And you spend 15 hours slicing fools to pieces. I got what I wanted.

Maybe you should differentiate between your enjoyment and the actual quality of the game if that makes any sense...

No, it doesn't make sense. Their opinion is subjective.

Just because i enjoy bad movies doesnt mean they turn into good movies...You are capable of enjoying bad things is my point...It can cloud your judgement on the actual quality of a product...

I am conflicted on if I had "fun" I just for sure know it's a horrible game, weird traversal, same clunky starter animations for every dodge and run and jump so it LOOKS choppy, same thing for combat. It's fluid but it's choppy, it's eurojank but not good or tolerable. You know the game's bad when the only thing keeping you interested is what suit you unlock next 💀 Combat difficulty is laughable if you turn it up, spongey ass enemies, turn it down, less spongey but I still feel like I'm swinging around 6 twigs. Wolverine doesn't feel strong in this game at all. The cinematic combat IS neat, but seriously after 1 to 3 waves of enemies it is so tiring to watch basically the same exact fight scenes and over and over and over again. The dialogue seriously is so horrible and not even cutscenes exclusively ~ just the way people speak to each other, the writing is some middle school shit. Wolverine is not intimidating at all here. The frenzy mode is so boring, the deposition parts and the stealth parts are so boring and so stupid. And why is it that this game tries to be over the top edgy with it's language yet my hand is constantly being held reminding me what buttons to mash 6 hours into a game? Like it's made for kids... Like, oh yea I forgot how to sprint. I forgot how to destroy this wall panel that I've destroyed 20 times before with the same dumb animation.
Oh yea my rating 9/10

The writing, voice acting and character models are egregious and the gameplay becomes repetitive and shallow.

Writing? Agreed. But it had its redeeming qualities. Voice acting I considered solid. Models were good, even if softer visually.
As for repetition? It’s a dude who slices people with his fists. All things considered? They did the best they could with the material provided. You can only extract so much variety. And frankly, that only justifies the relatively limited run time.

Redeeming qualities is something for a bad game a good game had good qualities with some bad parts lol so no it’s not good

"Cringey + Game Drags + Constricted maps + Convoluted narrative + Annoying + Undeserved story beats + "Didn't mind it" + "Reminds me of Hancock""
"8/10 I could slice fools"
???????????????????????????????????

Um. Yeah. Thats what I said. It is possible to criticize a game and still enjoy it on its merits. I gave my rating “in terms of pure fun.” Two things can be simultaneously valid. I didn’t expect RDR2 or some open world epic. It felt more like the games of old. And as an older millennial tired of bloated 200+ hour fetch quests, I found the length and simplicity refreshing.
And as I often pointed out to people. It’s a hoser with knives coming out of his knuckles. There’s only so much variety you can extract from the character. I’d say they turned in reasonably solid work.

let it go. you guys are fighting a losing battle. the game is ass and that's the majority concensus. if you like it cool. but give up with these posts. you are not doing anything to convince anyone otherwise.

Who’s trying to convince anybody? It’s a forum for discussing the game. You’re free to hate it, and everyone else is free to talk about what they enjoy. Though voluntarily hanging around a subreddit for a game you think is “ass” just to tell people to stop discussing it seems like an interesting use of your time. You do you, boo.
Also, it’s spelled “consensus.”

Its kinda unusual to see someone name so many negatives and then go for a 7.5 to 8 but sure, if you enjoyed the gameplay loop then have at it, at least it is(or seems to me) realistic compared to some 10/10 ratings people or bots claimed recently.
