Skill Up’s review is the most viewed review of Wolverine on the internet and he literally dismantles the Snoy movie game experience in it. I think God of War Laufey is going to get similarly hated by critics. Sony is fucked
>>
>>747444808
Nintendo won the console wars so easily.
>>
>tendie thinking he won anything with his fischer price tablet
Oh yes Nintendo won with games like yoshi and the mysterious book a literal game for toddlers where you cant die. anything else you want to say tendie?
>>
>>747444950
That’s because their games are timeless. Snoy movie shit seems woefully outdated now. Meanwhile everyone and their mother is hyped for a 1:1 remake of a game Nintendo made 30 years ago, but you would have to pay people to get excited for a remake of a Sony game
>>
>>747444950
It's not fair if the retarded snoys just kill themselves
>>
I guess Sony stopped paying off the review racket
>>
>>747445071
The great thing about switch is that I just avoid the super baby shit like Kirby and Yosbi games and still have plenty of games to play. Meanwhile Snoy releases a single shitty movie a year
>>
>>747445171
it's the exact same with ps5, you avoid the movie games and get a better experience on 3rd parties then your fischer price tablet will ever receive. nintendiapers are so funny

People will actually play Fire Emblem and defend it so reviewers will be careful not to get their review wrong because if they do they will lose credibility.
Meanwhile shitting on Wolverine is easy since no one is playing that shit unless it comes bundled with the PS5 they bought for GTAVI

snoy is going to fully switch to just being the place to play 3rd party games. They will stop making 1st party games.

Is what the developers of Marvel's Avengers thought too. They had Avengers how could it flop

I had a friend that was hyped for it but he lost all interest after the shillup review. That review is REALLY fucking damning, I don't think I've seen a bigger takedown of a game in recent memory.

>>747447718
yeah basically the same thing as GTA/RDR. The actual game is fun and you can have a good time just fucking around in the open world even if the missions are horrendous dogshit
>>
>>747447778
Yotei was good
>>
>>747444950
because they didn't go full retard with 5-8 years of development time, 200-500 million dollars cinematic videogames that would never see a return on investment. They knew to keep it "small".
No game should cost more than $50 million. Maybe $100m for a big project

Yes, Wolverine is by all accounts a disappointment.

The only 2 gaming platforms worth owning remain PS5 + Switch 2.

PC is not a viable gaming platform unless you're some dork who cares about expensive computer parts to play the same stuff i can play on console with the only noteworthy "exclusives" being early access slop (most of which will come to console when finished) and old shit

And Xbox lol

Look here's the other problem. I not just qualify as a sony pony but melee-focused action games are my go-to shit. This game should've been an instant preorder. But even if Wolverine ended up with a Metacritic score of, idk, 85 or something....
>Mortal Shell 2
>Onimusha
>Blood of Dawnwalker
>Control Resonant
and that's just what comes out by the end of September. Phantom Blade Zero will be this year's Wukong and that's in October.
My point being this game always had a HUGE uphill battle to climb unless i was a Marvel simp. Insomniac bringing their C game to the table at this moment really is catastrophic for them.

The problem is that Ratchet rotted Insomniac's brains all those years ago and unless a game allows them to insert a bunch of shit gimmick tools like in Resistance and Spider-Man then they're at a loss. No level design, no concept of fun, weighty melee combat.

As crfinge as the story may be Ihonest to god think that until the Remake trilogy comes out that Laufey will be closer to the OG games then the Norse ones ever were.

It feels like an AAA action game from 2/3 generations ago, that would have received 10/10 scores and GOTY nominations back then. Linear on the rails with high production value and lots of of cutscenes, like the OG God of War games or Uncharted. I personally see nothing wrong with that in and of itself as long as it plays well and the story is interesting. But not for $80. It's a game I'd pay maybe $30 for, play once, and more than likely never touch again.

I will likely play it when it's old and cheap, or pirate it if it ever comes to PC (although I know Sony said they aren't letting any of the first-party exclusives come to PC anymore but we'll see).
>>
>>747448885
The "too much game" shit in the new FE is boring non game shit like walking around talking to people and whatnot. Only 1/3 of the game is the actual gameplay part. Fucking anime weebs who just want the life sim bullshit stole this franchise away from people who liked tactics part.

I feel like if a new Uncharted came out now it would get like 7/10 type scores. People seem to be gone off the linear movie games. But I suppose Pragmata was basically a linear movie game and people seemed to like that so who knows.
>>
>>747449132
>as long as it plays well
There's the rub.
The original GoW games were challenging enough that my friends in high school considered it an achievement to beat them on highest difficulties. Linear action games were designed first and foremost to be GAMES and challenging. GoW was never Devil May Cry in terms of depth and complexity but it WAS designed to have combat encounters that you would die to if you tried playing on the highest difficulties and just mashed X.
>>
>>747449256
they just released a FE game where the "core series gameplay" was the main focus a few years ago. It very clearly wasn't enough anymore. The Persona-meets-FE formula is what the series needs to be.

I think its people like my brother who will buy it. He is a normie and generally only plays FIFA and Call of Duty every year but he will buy the occasional movie game here and there but he never finishes them. Like I remember him getting God of War Ragnarok and he just played it for 3 or 4 hours and dropped it and went back to fifa. He always does this. I imagine that is the majority of the type of people buying these sorts of big AAA movie games.

It's funny because the games women actually play are household sims (the sims), farming sims (stardew), raising sims (tamagochi), cleaning sims (hidden object) and shopping sims (bejeweled). But western game execs can't accept that reality and need to make games for that 10% of women who like hunting and war. And those were already playing hunting and war games aimed at men lmao

From what I can tell they didn't try to make a game changer or spectacle, they tried to make a simple and fun short hack and slash and the issue with that is

a.) its 70 dollars.
b.) People expect something life changing every time from Insomniac.

Personally outside of it being 70 fucking dollars, I think Insomniac should be able to put out a shorter and more simple game every now and then if they want to, they just need to price it accordingly.
>>

The new one is nicely hyped though
>>
>>747449285
I think these games can still sell like crazy because of their inherent appeal to the masses (easy enough to clear, cinematic, cool set pieces). I think the problem is that Sony and the devs making these games have gone completely complacent. The storytelling has no "bite" because of sequel bait requirements thanks to licensing for future games, suffocating handholding accessibility features that make the game especially braindead, gameplay parts have become too cookie-cutter, etc.

Watch the gameplay and think for yourself. Not the grifters on YouTube or Twitter that hate the game cause fuck Sony for taking away my physical games!!! Wah!!! And fuck Insomniac for making Spiderman 2 woke slop!!! Wah!!! Shut the fuck up. The hate that for the Wolverine game is disingenuous. Yall have gaslit and ragebaited yourselves for nothing. I’d much rather release date rolls around and people can’t shut the fuck up about glazing the game than this nonsense. Jesus Christ.

The game was in development for 5-6 years bro. If they charged less than $70 they would have to sell like 10M copies to break even. The problem is that a "shorter and simpler game" did not translate into a "shorter and simpler" development cycle.

The devs had no idea what they were doing. Remember the huge leak that happened with Insomniac? It had basically the entire beta branch of the game, including documentation and the dev process. The story and gameplay went through a shitton of revisions, half the game was a Jean game at first, they had her fully playable with over 5 missions custom made for her. Most versions of the story originally had Jean save the day at the end and the original final mission was going to be a boss fight with Wolverine, where you played as Jean and beat the shit out of him, then she established the Jean Grey school of Gifted Children, essentially becoming the Charles Xavier of this universe. Thankfully that seems got scrapped, but that's probably why the game is so short, since literally half the game was taken out (maybe they'll go full jew and resell it as DLC). They also tried to add Nightcrawler and Jubilee as a playable characters but scrapped it due to time constraints. They had fucking Wolverine use a crossbow at one point and Marvel themselves stepped in and told them to remove that shit. The stealth mechanic was also much bigger and included a crafting system to distract enemies and set traps, but Marvel again told them to get rid of it since it didn't fit the character. I could go on, but the entire game's development was a mess made by people who not only did not understand the character, but seemed to actively loathe him and try to do everything to make him be a second fiddle in his own game.
>>
>>747450156
>they tried to make a simple and fun short hack and slash
And they failed at that because it's more like an on-rails movie game with combat that quickly turns into a chore and never gets more depth because suits are terrified to challenging players in the slightest.
The real tragedy is that Insomniac had some unique ideas for the game, but you can tell orders from higher ups sanded everything down until all that was left was the most bland and safe shit possible.

>>
>>747450156
We know from the leaks this isn't true
They had a tonne of ideas and then had to cut 90% of them

There was supposed to be side quests, multiple endings, more xmen to play as, co-op, a crafting system, two hub areas etc etc

All of it got cut except the Sweet Baby Inc approved story

It sounds like Insomniac was trying to put fun and variety in the game but were told no.
>>
>>747450230
The real issue with them is how bland the formula for the gameplay is and how disgustingly.woke they are. Sony owns Sweet Baby, and oh boy does it fucking show at this point.
>>
>>747450296
That's crazy, what were they thinking?
Adding more playable characters with unique skills is a specially retarded idea.
Not only does it increase the scope of the project by 500% but did they really learn nothing from the reception to the MJ segments?
>>
>>747450497
If they can't think of ways to make fucking Wolverine have intuitive combat without adding a crossbow or ranged attacks they deserve their failure. They had MGR to copy if they were that starved for ideas.

even fucking reddit is having a melty over this slop, you know they fucked up bad when even the woke hugbox subreddit is making fun of the game

Fair. I guess it's just more easy for me to accept things like "Wolverine with a crossbow" as sounding fun since I don't care too much for the character.
It does sound out of character from what little I do know about him.
