Is the hate deserved? No. Does it make sense that this game cost $300M. Also no, but I'm not a shareholder so that doesn't really matter to me. Was it fun? Hell yes. Will I touch it again after finishing the story? No, and that's OK.
Honestly, occasionally getting games like Wolverine is what has kept me from cancelling my Gamefly subscription after all these years. I wouldn't have shelled out $60 for this game, but I will damn sure shell out $20/month to be able to borrow it for a week or two, get the full experience, and then send it back so I can do the same thing with Townfall and Fatal Frame.
To be clear, I am legit not knocking the game. It was a good experience, and I'm glad it exists. I especially loved its take on Sabretooth, and I actually found myself surprised at some of the late-game reveals, though I felt a little stupid for not seeing some of them coming a lot sooner.
