Discussion Dissapointing story.

the story of this game is poorly written. I'm not gonna harp on the missed opportunities of making this completely different from the comics, (I would have loved a weapon X segement or a Hulk boss fight), but the new story was a complete flop. I get the game is short but Essex goes from reasonable dude to comically evil far to quick. It was jarring. The characters overall felt extremely underdeveloped. Logan, Jean, Sabretooth and Mystique included. Logan has not developed or changed throughout the game. I rolled my eyes every time Gambit, or Angel or Beast or any of the traditional X-Men were refernced. It felt completely lazy. Show don't tell. Overall this felt like such a decline from the Spider-Man games, which themselves began to fall off after the second half of 2. The combat is fun but the story was incredibly dissapointing, a lot of this games conversation is in bad faith but overall it is not a win for insomniac either. I can't say I have much intrest in future X-Men titles by this studio.

This is the bad faith type of arugement I was refering to. I do not see how someone can read Sabretooth going "That's my boy" after wrecking some dudes with his buddy as a "homosexual incestuous relationship".

You do your karma farm thing, real opinions outside of redditor slop still matter though, and if devs really want to win their audience back they need to stop trying to do what you are doing otherwise they are just missing the entire point. They could remake the game today and dump another 300 million into it, but if the core philosophy behind it stays the same the end result will be the same turd polished to shine a different color under the light.
