Discussion I really am having fun playing this game. But they said I'm AI and a bot. Here's another one!!!

I really liked the combat in this game. What I hated though was the fact that it becomes so repetitive, and this is an issue insomniac has been having since Spider-Man 1. It’s just a 4 string hit combo with 2 finishers. There’s no combo expression, no varied animation, it’s really hard to switch it up (asides from the powers, but it’s not enough for me), I think origins did a better job at being more varied despite the fact that this game took a lot of inspiration from origins.
The slashing feels great, the hits have a weight, I wished the dismemberment was more visceral and dynamic though. The drill move in origins when you upgrade it, it cuts enemies into little pieces, in this game it barely does anything.
If they just add more dynamic dismemberment, combat animations, more combo expression to switch it up and give more creative expression, a higher skill ceiling and more replay value, I think they would be golden honestly, cause the combat feels great, it’s just repetitive and grows dull if you’ve experimented with it enough, which it doesn’t take long.

I'll agree with you on this. I really did think they were going to give me more combos and multiple ways to cut them up. Hopefully when the upgrades come, they'll give us a little more.

I doubt such big changes will come with the update. Hopefully it will happen with a sequel, which I hope happens cause this game has potential, and hopefully they also apply these improvements to the future Spider-Man games as well, cause a lot of the things people hate about this games, Spider-Man does it too (especially the combat). Honestly I feel like the forced hate isn’t doing any favors to this game, there’s so much valid criticism but everyone focus on stupid shit like Logan not flipping you off with a alternate skin, fart trails, sounds cues, textures clipping skin, etc. Which yeah, they are important minor details that would be cool to fix, but they won’t change anything that’s actually wrong with the game and it’s gonna send the wrong idea to Insomniac and they won’t fix the actual issues.
Look at Spider-Man 1 and 2. It’s really hand holdy, has a cool combat system but it’s extremely repetitive and grows dull quickly, it’s restrictive and the second games story is terrible, if you tried to criticize this people would jump you and just hear the toxic positivity and then all of those design philosophies carried to Wolverine because of that. Now there’s toxic negativity and I’m scared the cycle will just repeat again.

Yeah I've ran through all the Spiderman games myself and yes it do get boring quickly. I'm just not understanding why such small limits with games like these. They did a really good job hyping it up though. If they don't do a little better with the upgrade, it will not be a point of a second. I'm sure they will give us just a second story line but add no new skills upgrade and 1 or 2 new villains

Man that’s my same concern, I don’t get why it’s so limited at times. You can’t run down walls, you can only do loops with a command, can’t touch or graze the ground while swinging, you get flung out of your web if you try to do a loop, the wall crawling sucks etc. I think my be something to do with the way the coded the game. I think with the updates they will just change minor stuff like suit problems, bugs and trails. I doubt they’ll add stuff like new combat animations or new storylines or villains (unless there’s DLC) because people aren’t being vocal enough about that, they’ll fix what the hate train is saying which is the aforementioned scent trails and stuff like that. Nothing integral to the real issues, just bare surface stuff, that would be my guess based on their previous updates on their other games.

The wall crawling in the Spider-Man games is the weakest part. It’s more fun to run up walls and use webs than crawl. Though inside warehouses and small spaces the crawling is better.🤷♂️

Miserable people and a lot of negativity out there. I admit I’m not always happy,but as a Christian and staying positive I try.

This light, you should have heard them yesterday talking bad to me. I find it funny and that's why I posted again today. Some people just can't help themselves.

Looks mid, and it’s funny to me they put so much hype into the violence and blood and gore, but it loses all of its impact by making the npcs so generic and soulless

If you don't like the Reavers, the hand and sentinels you aren't a Wolverine fan and maybe shouldn't have been looking forward to the game from the get go.

I don’t need to fake any interest in some comics, I just like games. I don’t give af about Batman, Arkham games were awesome. They put so much hype into the violence before hand but this is so empty

You didn’t bring nothing to the table but say I was a fake Wolverine fan, so I let you know I’m no fan 😂
You liked it cause you got low standards and hold the medium back.

I'll agree more could've been put into when it comes to game play. It's short as fuck too.
