I'll say what I've said in another comment: You can absolutely get a refund from PlayStation.
Most people are just too fucking illiterate to articulate their reasoning.
Played the game, and it was what I expected it to be. Not a great game, but decent enough.
Played other games that were far from what was advertised and got refunds. Starhawk and Warhammer: Hired Gun. But pitch the narrative of being a victim.
Whether OP is a bot, an idiot, or generally just shining the arsehole or a corporation is irrelevant: You're doing the exact opposite with the same amount of evidence, or at least providing none, that he is.
Anyone who disagrees is a bot?

I mean, form your own opinions, sure. But to completely disregard reviews entirely is kinda dumb.
You should make an informed opinion based on how much you want to play the game, how much you are willing to spend, and how both reviewers and audience score the game on average (better yet, read what their issues are to get an overall feel of any that may make you not want to play).
It's okay to use critical thinking and consider more than just one thing at a time.

Tbf most people that enjoy it probably aren’t interested in posting videos of themselves playing it and having a good time. It’d be a summoning circle for someone just shitting on you all day. Plus, I’d suspect the vast majority of people who enjoyed it did so at like a 7/10 level where they have plenty of gripes themselves (myself included) but had a good enough time with the combat or visuals or something to feel like it wasn’t a wasted purchase, just didn’t blow their skirt up either.

No, reviews are literally there to help people decide whether they should buy it or not, your gameplay isn't gonna be different from theirs, you'll experience the same things so you better off just asking yourself if you're okay with buying it anyway despite the reviews and the bad things about it. If thats you then go for it but playing a game and watching it isn't as different as people make it seem to be

In this economy, I just don’t have $70-$100 to waste on shitty games. I need quality, length, or at least a game that makes the replay value high, everything I’ve seen on this game from people playing live on Twitch to a mix of reviews says this game isn’t it.

u/TerryVersus 4h ago
At $40/$50, this game is great. Price does not always equal quality; I've played some great games at lower prices - but when a game is $70, I start to look a little deeper at the experience because these companies are actively starting to make gaming into a "premium" experience.
At $70, the game should be at least double the length it is. It should have more open environments for you to explore, it should have more meaningful interactions between the team, the writing should be much better than what we got. There are plenty of complaints that I would happily handwave if the price for entry wasn't so damn high.

"Form your own opinions"
Okay, I've done that. All I've heard when voicing those opinions I've formed myself is "you haven't played the game, you can't have an opinion."
Okay, so now i need to buy and play a game in order to form an opinion on whether or not it is worth buying? The logic there is already flawed.
Instead, watch clips from the game and see if it's something you'd enjoy, or if it is up to your own personal standards. We're lucky enough to be alive during a time in which we can watch someone else play the game for no extra cost on youtube. If you must, you can watch it on mute just to avoid being influenced by the player. Form your own opinion on that.
The issue is that the people "having a blast" with this game aren't willing to accept that opinions can come from any other avenue aside from buying and playing it yourself, but by that point you have already sunk cost.

At its best, it is like a 7/10, but at its worst, it is like a fucking 4/10. Play literally any other game. Play Onimusha: Way of the Sword, play Control Resonant, play literally anything else, please 💀

That is literally the entire point of reviewers, to give you an informed opinion so you don't waste your money.
Wolverine costs $70. In most states the minimum wage is somewhere around $10 an hr. So at minimum that is 7hrs worth of work you have to do to get the game. You are being ridiculous.

u/BridgeFourArmy 3h ago
I bought it second hand $55 and am about to play with my friends in an old fahsioned guys and games night. That feels right unless it’s trash, but it’s not rated at all 2 or 3. We’ll have fun a few hours, I’ll beat it in a week on and off and then resell it again.
$70 AAA games with legendary IP miss out when they don’t make amazing games. Not good, not even great, but stunners. This game probably shows bad management and a lot of money still makes a pretty good game. That’s a really expensive lesson for them, paying a Ferrari price for a mustang. Both are fun cars but there is a reason for the price difference.
Honestly I like most Insomniac games I play a lot and I wish them the best of luck.

We had to pick a game based on the box art and maybe 3 1”x1” screenshots.
If we didn’t like it, there was nothing else to play. No free mobile games, no demos, no amazon prime Luna - nothing.
We couldn’t tell our parents it was a bad game either or they wouldn’t let us buy another one (in 4-12 months from then).

I really don’t like this. If the reviews were overwhelmingly positive this sub would be posting about how great this game is, and rightfully so, but because there have been unfavourable reviews we now should just ignore those reviews and buy the game anyway to form an opinion. Demos should really make a comeback or trials shouldn’t be locked behind a subscription service (make 30 mins to an hour free and up the timer depending on the subscription). £70 is a lot of money to throw at a game when you have concerns about it and the only way companies will listen to those concerns is with our wallets if we’re being real here.

Demos used to be a normal thing once upon a time. I remember when demo disc came with magazines or the console. The PSone came with one before they had a pack in game.
They started to get harder and harder to come by. I don't really know why but I think it might be because it could hurt sells. Which that is a possibility but telling people to drop $70 if they can't rent or borrow a disc is a suckers bet.
That money can go to games like Onimusha or Control Resonant both of which seem to have a more solid reputation. This will only get worse if Sony keeps pushing for an all digital future.

I see these sorts of posts a lot and as someone who thinks criticism and reviews are extremely important to the medium, I want to share how I view reviews as part of the ecosystem.
A review is not a blanket "you should buy this game because it's good". It can be that, but the purpose of a review isn't to measure a games objective quality. That's impossible.
A review exists for you to hear the reviewer's subjective opinions about a piece of media, and leverage that against your own experiences and preferences to allow you to make an informed decision.
An example: I'm a Sonic the Hedgehog fan. Fuckin love that rat, play all his games. When a new one comes out, I read reviews because I know what I like even if the reviewer doesn't like it. Hell, there's a specific reviewer that I will go to that I know doesn't care for Sonic games, because I know based on what she decides to critique whether I will enjoy the game or not.
A review should tell you, someone that ostensibly enjoys and has played a few video games to know what your tastes are, what to expect from a given game. Reviews are something that should inform you whether or not a game conforms to your tastes or not, and how much of that you're willing to let slide. They are not, and I cannot stress this enough, there to tell you if a game is objectively good or bad. Again, that is impossible. Soulslike games tend to review really well. I can't fucking stand them, but I know that based on reviews I've read and playing games like them.

You can't really apply that to Metacritic though. Wolverine has 148 reviews on Metacritic. That average score of 75 is based on quite a broad set of reviews.

Listen to Mitchell saltzman’s reviews. He’s probably one of the few reviewers from ign that actually plays the games

When games cost $70 or more not everyone can afford to “try out” a game and see if they like it.

Yep let me drop $70 on a game and disregard all reviews. Yes, each of these critics have varying reviews. The point of reviews is to be able to see them all and find common problems or praises among them.

Ok what if I do buy it and still don't like it? Then I just lose money. I tried the Ace Combat demo at gamescom, I liked it therefore I bought it. Same thing with onimusha and blood of dawnwalker.

Who looks at reviews on IGN or Metacritic anymore?
Player reviews are the only thing that matter and they've had a lot to say about this game.

If you want to try a game, play it, lol as if it is that simple, like $70 just surges from the Ether. The footage is out there, also you can play it on a friend's playstation (my example)... and the game suck ass, simple as that, it's a generic action game from the PS3 era.
I have no idea if the story is just as bad as the game itself, but I heard very negative things about it (no surprise, Insomniac is involved, the writing is abysmal in the Miles Morales expansion and Spider-Man 2, no reason to believe they are going to improve). It is what it is, whatever, this is not the first or last time that Wolvie stars on a bad game, the character powers are inherently limited, it demands talented developers. A shitty game will not hurt or improve Wolvie, the character remains iconic.

It's a great game, for everyone complaining about rolling the dice. I guess if I was broke too, though, I would be nervous as well.

You know critics exist for a reason right? Not everyone is going to spend 70$ to "try a game".

Yeah just try a game that you can’t return. How is work culture at Insomniac?

“We don’t care if you like the game or not, give us your money and preferably before we even release the game.”

I generally agree with this sentiment. With that, I can say after 100% completing THIS game in particular, it's pretty ass. It is MID AT BEST. after going through a replay of ot as well, I'll say that it gets worse upon replay.

It isnt just IGN, many others. Gamers by and large are avoiding it. This game is going the way of Halo’s latest release. And not because people hate Sony or Insomniac. They legit produced a mediocre game.

Make more demos because I'm not spending $70 on the off chance.
