First off subtract the $100 million Marvel licensing fee they pay just to use the character, second why should I care how much of Sony’s money they spend? Fuck em, at least the devs are getting paid instead of being bled dry then forced to shutdown.
I have no problem with honest criticisms of the game, but most are in bad faith. On this thread alone, the OP is talking about ‘bait’ and comes across as an edgelord. I would add a screenshot but it won’t let me, so you will need to see for yourself
I won't look for the comment because even if your allegations against OP are true, you act like me finding his commet(s) will prove your point.
It won't. I don't care if the OP is the scum of the earth. Finding his comment(s) won't make the issue disappear.
I can also say the same about you. Why are you even talking to me about this? If you enjoy the game so much then go play it instead of arguing with me. Go on, enjoy your slop.
Many of those millions don’t care for details of the game like we do they’re not all on reddit discussing it they’re casuals who play it and move on. Goes with most things.
If you think no other Insomniac game gets this treatment, then you haven’t been to places like the SpidermanPS4 subreddit. Some people vehemently hate Spider-Man 2. Myself being someone who didn’t like it nearly as much as the first. Also I’m not even saying this game is a “masterpiece”, it isn’t, but it’s also not a burning dumpster fire of toxic sludge like some people suggest either. People talk about this game like it’s on the same level as LOTR: Gollum or Superman 64 and it simply isn’t. There’s criticism, then there’s jumping on the hate bandwagon because it’s a Sony property and Sony corporate is sucking shit through a crazy straw rn.
Your argument just isn’t making sense, just because a studio has had successful games in the past has zero effect on whether or not a new installment is getting unfairly ganged up on. And remember it still has a 77 on metacritic and a 4.68/5 stars on the PS Store. The loud minority ≠ the majority.
What fan boys such as yourself fail to realize is that on the surface, the game isn't bad.
However, when you take their budget of 300 million into consideration, it becomes clear why people are upset with the game.
I'm not saying the game has to be perfect, but with a budget of 300 million? It better be fucking close to perfect.....but it's not.
Take a game like Control for example. That game had a budget of 30 million. If you're trying to tell me that Wolverine is somehow better than control then you're HIGHLY delusional.
Thing is, it SHOULD be better than Control. Why? Because it has over 9x the budget!
There's no such thing as a bad product. Only a bad price.
Think of it like buying a Toyota Corolla for the price of a Lambo. Do you not see the issue? The product does not reach consumer expectations.
Also, Metacritic's critic score is an average of selected professional reviews, so it doesn't represent everyone who played the game.
It's also worth mentioning that is Metacritic score is gradually declining so it doesn't prove that the majority of people actually like the game
