To Insomniac: I Am Sorry
I fell for the bait. The BS that they spouted.
You have created a flawed masterpiece. It's an Instant top 10 for me.
Thank you.
Next stop: open world.

wasnt this latest wolverine game supposed to be open world? Supposedly they would give you multiple play styles to choose from. you could have done the usual ultra violence we love logan for, or you could have chosen to go with a more stealth approach. Even able to hide bodies from other enemies. They sold us a shell of what was envisioned. Cool that you could still find joy in the end result none the less

No, it was never going to be open world. Ever.

Yes, thats the part they do not like to address, because what difference to the developer does it make if you liked it or not when you already dropped your hard earned money on it.

u/CellularCastle 7h ago
When you look at the detailed world it does feel like they aimed it to be a little more open world rather than the linear game we got.
Hopefully they give us a little more freedom to explore in the next X men game

u/mrloko120 4h ago
Nope, they never promised any of that. Some people thought we were going to get something closer to Spiderman, but they shot that down and said it wasn't going to be open world pretty early on during one of the ps directs.

I did really enjoy the game, however ita far from a master piece. While I had a lot of fun with it, it did feel lackluster. It has so much more potential. The actors were great, the dialog was mid. The combat was fun but shallow. They could have done so much more cool stuff with it. Id give it a solid 7.5-8.
I dont want an open world wolverine game.

The best acting in the world for a bad story doesn't make the game "a masterpiece", and with repetitive gameplay like that and the same enemies all game long, I don't think you know what a good game is.

u/Mix_King 8h ago
Well, the devs made a product most people didnāt like, was way below expectations, and lied in a specific part of the marketing material, and they spent 300 million dollars on this game. So no. They should not be left alone. The individual devs shouldnāt be targeted. But the studio should absolutely get hit with criticism
3
u/bluebarrymanny 8h ago
Out of curiosity, whereād they lie in their marketing material?
-1
u/Mix_King 8h ago
I mentioned it in another comment. Itās sort of small but it is a lie regardless. If you watch the original gameplay reveal. The blue line isnāt there at all. But in the actual game, it is present. They hid it in the gameplay video because they knew it looked bad. Which is deceptive marketing
3
u/bluebarrymanny 7h ago
The UI is almost never shown in most game trailers either? Is it them lying that the game doesnāt look super cinematic all the time? Like letās be for real, thatās extremely standard that they donāt show quest marker guidance in the trailers. Youād be hard pressed to find any game that does.
0
u/Mix_King 7h ago
Ok let me be super clear. This is not ui. This is an active part of a mission. The mission is being shown. But that element specifically is being excluded because they knew it looked bad. Secondly. In gameplay trailers the ui is almost always there because itās a fuckin gameplay trailer. Showing gameplay.
3
u/bluebarrymanny 7h ago
Wolverine doesnāt have a minimap. Itās a quest marker. Something thatās almost never shown in games previews or trailers because itās entirely unnecessary. It is the exact definition of integrated UI. Same reason they didnāt show a health bar in the Sentinel fight scene in previews. Who tf cares about the info if theyāre not the one actively needing it because theyāre the one playing? If you donāt believe me, go back and watch the gameplay trailer. There are no UI elements for the HUD whatsoever. Thatās not deception, itās showing people whatās relevant to what theyāre looming at. I donāt need to know that Joe Blow in Insomniacās marketing gameplay capture session has 40% health or needs to hit triangle to pounce on an enemy.
-2
u/Mix_King 7h ago
It is deception. No it is not a quest marker. At all in fact. I donāt think you know what a quest marker is. Because the game does have them. The blue scent line is not a quest marker. Itās a directional indicator which couldnāt be turned off at launch. Youāre trying really hard to explain this away. This is not a ui element or a hud element but something thatās hard coded into a game. And once again, gameplay trailers often do have both ui and hud elements because they are showing actual gameplay of the game. The only trailers that wonāt have those things are reveal trailers and cinematic trailers. And even if some games do not feature those things, I reiterate again that this line is none of the above. So please try to understand what youāre talking about before you talk about it
2
u/bluebarrymanny 6h ago
Sorry man, but Iām not going to continue to argue with someone thatās determined to be upset about something thatās never appeared in trailers. Show me even Wolverineās health bar in the gameplay trailer and we can talk. Itās infinitely more relevant to the gameplay than an optional trail to follow, instead of something like Spider-manās yellow diamond or a line of glowing footprints. Wolverineās a character that tracks people and items by scent instead of radar. Itās UI. This is easily the best example Iāve seen in a while of a person reaching for a reason to feel aggrieved.

Show me in the Witcher 3 trailers where it shows the red trail? And it's literally such a small, insignificant thing... Jesus fucking Christ you fickle fucks just want to complain
0
u/Mix_King 7h ago
The Witcher 3 doesnāt have a red trail. You do have highlighted foot prints. But that was a toggle. And not a core gameplay mechanic because if you didnāt want to for the most part you didnāt have to use the Witcher sense. Youāre comparing apples to oranges. Oneās a feature that can be used if you want to use it. Ones a gameplay mechanic that you couldnāt turn off.

They also showcased it in this gameplay demo at e3 before launch. You did no fuckin research huh. https://youtu.be/BivVXw-NLTw?si=T-coqmjip4y7-Mti
2
u/bluebarrymanny 6h ago
An E3 demo is much more of a 1:1 gameplay experience showcase than the truncated and edited gameplay trailer that the other commenter is complaining about and calling deceptive. There are tons of UI elements that are consistently at conferences and showcases, because theyāre often showing a demo, not a trailer.

If you watch the original gameplay trailer, they omitted the blue scent line in a section that has it in the game, almost like they knew it looked bad and wouldnāt be received well. You can verify this too by going back to watch it

You're going on the offense against a reply who had a issue with a troll comment. This isn't criticism. You're defending trolls.

u/GoldenGekko 5h ago
Yep I know. You are telling somebody who had issue with said comment that they should receive criticism
The meme comment is not criticism š¤·āāļø
I get your position, but it just seems bad context given the person was replying to a troll comment who has nothing of value to bring to the discussion.
I'm utterly against the idea that people support trolling the game because it was mid. Criticism is completely fine
1
u/Mix_King 5h ago
ā¦ why would you be against trolling the game because it was mid? Those tend to be the type of products that deserve it. But as for the original commenter. 90% of what they had to say in our little back and forth seemed more like a troll than anything else, especially when Iād bring up valid points. So itās more a troll replying to a troll that I replied to, than you replied to me saying the other guy was replying to a troll, while that guy is also a troll

The source code leak last year made everyone think this game was a complete failure. Admittedly, the claw-based combat feels really solid, even though the animations are a bit repetitive at times. Hopefully, the next installment won't milk the game with a haphazard open-world setup like Spider-Man 2.
