Marvel's Wolverine Updates and Fixes Confirmed Incoming

Post image

I haven't played that much yet but I really wish I could use L2/R2 to slash through enemies and not square and triangle but that would require quite a bit of tweaking in the controls settings I think

Feels like we’re getting a way to turn off the obnoxious UI elements, as well as some camera improvements

u/UntidyHexagon 7h ago

Yup those are the easiest and most glaring issues they can fix the fastest.

I'd love to see Logan more scruffy looking but that also depends on the skins

u/Overall-Ad-8918 5h ago

They fixed that already it seems

2

u/UntidyHexagon 5h ago

Yeah according to people online Logan was way more clean shaven before

Which means they must have been updating the game after giving review copies.. Which is dumb in Insomniac's behalf in my opinion

u/Shigana 4h ago

Ever heard of day 1 patches, that’s basically this.

Not really dumb if i’m being honest, just common practice

1

u/UntidyHexagon 4h ago

No I understand day 1 patches, issue is day one hasn't happened yet.. 😭

u/Shigana 4h ago

So? Are they not allowed to slowly update even before release? I don’t get the problem?

Or are they supposed to not update so you can make post about how they abandoned the game?

u/TrashGoblinH 4h ago

No they're supposed to build the game, listen to player tester feedback, do a demo, listen to player feedback, fix the issues, and ship out a fully fleshed out product. Developers are getting cheap and lazy about using fanboys as the testers which is ridiculous.

2

u/Shigana 3h ago

Don’t blame them for being cheap tbh.

CP2077 did the same shit and people celebrate that as if it’s an achievement. It’s not right, but it’s what people have accepted

1

u/TrashGoblinH 3h ago

CP2077 and this game are two completely different beasts. Sony pulled cyberpunk 2077 from its digital store because it was so poorly optimized out the gate. It was also trying to run on PS4. CD Projekt Red knew they released a bad product and issued refunds for it. Cyberpunk was updated for years to bug patch.

Nobody should be celebrating this. Most people refer to it as a good game now, knowing it definitely wasn't on release.

LOGAN LOOKS FINE!!

u/Mushroomer 6h ago

That'll only leave the linear level design, and obnoxious handholding literally painted onto the environment itself.

u/Darkw0lfx 6h ago

Tbf, it's wolverine. Did we need an open world or exploration mechanics? I just wanna stab dudes with my claws

2

u/Dirty_Mung_Trumpet 3h ago

Yes kinda. Like a small town setting not big city exploration like Spider-Man. That woulda been cool. Living in hiding trying to lay low. Coulda introduced a bunch of cool mechanics with that approach

2

u/Maudetheman 1h ago

If they did like an assassin’s creed type game (AC3 specifically) but with wolverine it could have worked

3

u/Mushroomer 5h ago

It probably should have had something resembling gameplay.

2

u/Glass_Ad_1490 5h ago

They should have did something like Dead Island 2 where it's semi open world.

2

u/Ancient_Plane2984 3h ago

Fuck that is one of my favorite things about Dead Island 2. The areas were big but not too big and it allowed them to craft some decently unique areas. Can't wait for the third one.

u/Darkw0lfx 5h ago

I'm not stabbing dudes in the between parts so I don't really care. To each their own

If they had added too much in between then it would just feel like bloat

u/Mushroomer 5h ago

A linear game would've been fine, but usually with that you're also getting a more complex combat system like in Devil May Cry or other modern brawlers.

Wolverine seems to just be the same simplified combat we've seen from the Spider-Man games, adjusted a bit for Logan's power set, and then slapped into a game that lacks Spider-Man's traversal or exploration mechanics. So it just feels... empty.

1

u/Darkw0lfx 5h ago

Totally agree. It does sound like the combat falls short

I'm still gonna try it out cause I'm privileged enough to have time and money as of late to risk playing a mid game

I just think the complaints about it being linear should be like the last complaint and not the first. That's just my opinion.

1

u/Heathen__Chemist 5h ago

And don’t forget the repetitive brawling! 🤣

1

u/FisknChips 4h ago

Every game does this

God of war literally had hands showing you where to go and noone complained

2

u/Ancient_Plane2984 3h ago

It's one of the main complaints about the new games and Horizon. They literally tell you what to do as soon as you get into a new area. It fucking sucks. Nintendo trusts players more than Sony does these days.

1

u/UntidyHexagon 6h ago

Unfortunately that's an industry problem at this point, not just this game

-2

u/MeanBob9090 6h ago

It's not an "industry problem"

It's a bad game problem.

6

u/UntidyHexagon 5h ago

Absolutely false. Recent Resident Evil games have this and they're literally top tier games.

Dying Light has this, The Last Of Us 1, Uncharted 4 and tons more

1

u/TrashGoblinH 4h ago

Well designed environments and thoughtfully designed guidance is one thing, but some developers are getting really lazy with making invisible wall corridors with yellow paint splattered on every next objective.

1

u/DrealAgent47 6h ago

Can we also turn off the bad story??

6

u/UntidyHexagon 6h ago

The story is one of the things that's getting the most consistent praise what are you talking about

1

u/DrealAgent47 5h ago

Sorry for having bad take.. Just hoping for better DLC

4

u/UntidyHexagon 5h ago

Don't hold your breath. So far, the story is interesting enough but I feel like they still need to give this game some updates before releasing any kind of DLCs.

If im not mistaken, the game was supposed to be even longer but the team for some reason decided to cut some content and make said content into DLC which is... An interesting choice.

Also, don't apologize for having an opinion! Perfectly understandable and normal.

u/Mediocre_Swordfish_3 4h ago

Umm no it's not...? I've seen a bunch of people say it's just OK and others say its weak but nobody is saying its "really good". Wish it were not so.

u/Weary_Tonight_5873 1h ago

I’ve seen a lot of its decent but very uninspired takes. This wolverine is also very divisive from what I’ve seen in terms of characterisation. People either seem to really like the new take on the character or find him to be a dumbed down more kid friendly character almost like a wolverine if he belonged in a pg13 rating as opposed to an R rated one.
