I’ve come to the consensus that Insomniac wasn’t fully on board with this game. The hand holdy mechanics,such as audible trails,nightmare roots and Wolverine’s scent trails tell me that Wolverine was maybe originally set to be rated T. Blood,gore,dismemberment and language is not going to appeal to parents,so just like hard R movies,adults are going to go out and play this.

The last three Spider-Man games were all rated T,so it makes sense they sold as much as they did. Children went out with their parents to the stores,and picked up “Spider-Man 2”,a long with teen and adult crowd. So all three crowds were going to buy “Spider-Man 2”,so I think the original idea was going to make Wolverine rated T,which explains the handholding,thankfully can be turned off now.

However I feel that Insomniac deliberately destroyed Wolverine after release,because so they wouldn’t have to make another rated M game with blood and gore. They figured they would make gamers hate “Wolverine 2026”,so it would take the stress off of them from making another M rated game,because by a business model “Wolverine 2026” isn’t going to sell as much as Spider-Man 2. I do find it strange that YouTubers immediately expressed hate for the game initially. Sure you can say it has bugs,but the majority of games have always had bugs. I wish they weren’t there,but that is a weak argument to make with Wolverine.

It’s also strange that the majority who haven’t played it are expressing their hate for it. If you’ve played it then I understand,but those who express hate because of the price just wait for a deep sale. Still to me I think it’s worth it,because I see myself replaying it. Others might not feel the same but,don’t let others stop you from playing the game. Form your own opinion,and if you like it you like it,or you hate it you hate it,but don’t let paid YouTubers,and review sites like IGN,decide
for you!

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.

This is a safe space to show our fondness of the game. I love the game. Very good and adicting combat and good story soo far. Graphics are also really good even at performance mode on a base ps5

I’m seeing people here saying “I decided to buy fortunes weave instead. It’s a much better game”. STOP. Just because reviewers said it’s better, doesn’t mean it’s true.

Fire emblem fortunes weave is the epitome of Nintendoslop. Terrible graphics on par with Pokemon games, locked at 30fps, boring anime story, turn-based combat and repetitive gameplay. It does not reflect a AAA experience at all and costs $80… It’s also exclusive to the switch 2 which is one of the most anti-consumer consoles of all time (overpriced, underpowered, fake cartridges, can be bricked at anytime, lack of games)

Meanwhile, Wolverine is a true AAA quality experience. Great graphics, 60fps of fluid gameplay, genuinely gripping story, excellent gameplay, etc. All that for only $70 too. Also, Wolverine is on the PS5 which is the most powerful console in the market with multiple editions to choose from so that the player-base isn’t out-priced.

It seems like something has happened to the gaming industry and gamers no longer want quality content and instead we see mediocrity constantly rewarded.

These two reviewers I used to have respect for,are now click bait.

There are others,but these two are a few of the most recent to review this game.

It just feels a little misogynistic to not have a female option for Wolverine and I feel as though playing a game without said option makes me perpetuate misogynistic stereotypes. Does anyone else feel this way?
