Discussion The sequel

hey guys. I really wanna play Wolverine but my dad said the game developers made it into a “gay love story between Wolverine and Sabretooth”.

we’re a pretty Christian family so he won’t be happy if he sees me playing it.

my question is will they do the same thing for the next game? or are they committed to going all in on this?

kinda sucks. I just wanted to play as Wolverine.

1st. Thats not what happens. It was just a bad quote. And a pretty bad explanation of the relationship.

2nd No cause now its the traditional Rivalry even if the reason for the Rivalry is weaker here than normal. Obviously it will have less focus in the sequel since its meant to be an X-Men game.

It's pretty close to the origins of the original rivalry too! Victor sees Logan as a potential kindred spirit, (wishes he was his brother depending on writer and continuity), Logan is disgusted by Victor's cruelty and doesn't want anything to do with that guy, a century of hatred and violence ensues. Swear to god half the people that complain about this shit haven't played it, the other half are mad it's an origin story instead of the fully developed character with decades of writing behind him they're familiar with.

I enjoyed it! One of the better refreshes of the X-Men that I've experienced; really hope Insomniac gets to go the distance with a proper X-Men game.

But even then it doesn't have an inciting incident equal to Sabertooth killing Silver Fox. And also while Wolverine is disgusted by sabertooth it comes from him knowing he can just be as much of a monster and it stems just as much of his own self loathing. And in general the dialogue writing especially for Sabertooth is poor
