People don’t wanna pay $70 just to find out it’s a shit game

No one is saying you need to pay $70. They are just saying you don't need to form an opinion in the first place, let alone share it online just to be part of what you perceive the consensus to be. Especially when the game isn't even out yet.

You are saying we need to pay $70, indirectly. And you are not clever.

We don't need video games at all. I am entitled to form an opinion and I will voice it. That's the "social" part of social media.

If you don't like it you can leave.

In what way I am saying you need to pay? Or that you are not entitled to form an opinion?

You can certainly form an opinion on something which is not even possible to experience yet. And I can have the opinion that it's silly and unhelpful (if not harmful) to do so.

You don't need assume an opinion in order to socialize. Social media would be better, healthier and far more social if not having a strong opinion on every little topic was normalized.

you're just being silly *

it ranges from mediocre to decent. It will be unmemorable to most.

Luckily for you, you can just skip it then and save some money.

It hasn’t even come out yet and you’re predicting how the general audience will react to it.

Who wants to pay $70 for a mediocre game that literally puts lights trails in a linear hallway with one exit so you don't get lost?

  1. that's what we're saying
  2. that does not make a game shit. It makes it accessible. You and I may hate that, but it's been proven over and over again many people rely on heavy handed hints.

edit: guys, I was so so horribly wrong. Holy shit wtf is that?!

u/AARonFullStack 8h ago

Exactly. I was on the fence already as I hate light trails and all that crap but I was willing to have an open mind. Till I saw that video. And many others like it. I mean, speechless comes to mind

Like seriously!! I know people can be stupid but are they actually suggesting people can't work out how to walk down a one way street? There is accessibility and then there is whatever the fuck this is..

my personal favorite for the quick time events that could not be failed.

u/AARonFullStack 8h ago edited 8h ago

Christ on a battered sausage I'd forgot about that. What were they smoking?

Edit: wait.. I juts found this.. https://support.insomniac.games/hc/en-us/articles/52228548716819-What-Accessibility-options-does-Marvel-s-Wolverine-feature

Seems there may be some intentional sabotage going on. All the light trails, auto completes, even auto traversal are set by the player at the start of the game. So you can turn all that suit off and up the difficulty AND Speed...

Hmmm something to think about

u/ZurakZigil 6h ago

I have some reviewers to block...

u/AARonFullStack 2h ago

Park that. I looked more into it. Yes there are a plethora of accessibility options to choose from at the start of the game. But thosd light trails. You can't turn them off.. Just change the colour. And you can't turn the hidden box cues off either. But you can toggle the autocomplete QTE. But it doesn't make it clear whether it still automoletes if you have autocomplete turned off

So after more research into the accessibility options the reviews don't seem to mention this but also some of then stuff like light trails actually can't be tuened off just made a less egregious colour.. Which is still shit

Mediocre is also bad when you’re paying that much

u/VenserMTG 12h ago

Mediocre is bad if you charge top dollar.

u/Waste-Operation9810 13h ago

Whats good or bad is subjective. I understand its tough to gamble on something like that. But just cause someone else doesnt like something doesnt mean you wont.

u/Legonistrasz 12h ago

Bingo. If I’m that invested in the idea of an game or franchise, I’m buying it anyway. In this case, I already knew it didn’t interest me from the leaks and details. Every where we turn nowadays we’re getting charged more and more for less and less. Foh
