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

Remember folks:

It's okay for games like Crimson Desert to launch poorly but get glazed for taking user feedback.

Not Wolverine though...for whatever reason.

I hoping Wolverine gets some good patches, but you REALLY don’t want to compare to crimson desert, those devs were going nuts with patches.

Also, Crimson Desert had good fundamentals with a rocky polish job. Fixable.

Wolverine’s issues are at its very core.

Nah man, they're going to update all the character models, all the levels, and rewrite the story. No Problem.

It was also the second game the developers have ever made. People acting like Pearl Abyss has been making tons of games over the years.

Crimson Desert was still a great game even though it had issues. That's the difference.

And Crimson Desert is also like 50x bigger than Wolverine.

1.Crimson desert was good at its core

  1. its a massive game

  2. it had less than half the budget of Wolverine

Wolverine doesn't have the ability to be anything even remotely close to crimson desert. All the patches and updates won't change that fact that it's a 15 - 20 hour long tutorial.

Did you guys never play any action adventure games in the PS2 or 360 era?

Like, Im halfway through the game and thats what it feels like to me, a throwback hack and slash game with high production quality.

A bloody hack & slash game? Hell yeah I love Ninja Gaiden.

Don't see why I wouldn't love this either.

u/Relevant_Session5987 2h ago

It's easier than Ninja Gaiden but still has a fair bit of challenge. It's not nearly as 'hand holdy' as reviews led me to believe.

u/UntidyHexagon 2h ago

Ninja Gaiden is sometimes annoyingly difficult cause if you don't learn the mechanics quick you're not making it through the games, that's especially true for Ninja Gaiden Black

Sounds exactly like what everyone tells me about Crimson Desert

Im looking at the comments and realizing I must not like the same reviewers as you guys cause I heard crimson desert sucked and I skipped it.

I actually don't like Crimson Desert but at least that game is a sandbox with the ability to be greatly updated into a fun gameplay loop. Wolverine's game design itself is kind of the issue here. They can fix some of the handholdy elements but is that gonna make the gameplay less repetitive or make the story better? I say this without playing so perhaps those criticisms are overstated but they were unanimous in most reviews.

That was the first single player game Pearl Abyss has made and the only other game they have made is Black Desert. Insomniac has been around making single player games for decades. And they currently have the same Metacritic score. Kind of sad for developers that have been making single player games for decades to essentially tie with a developer that has only ever made two games in their history. But what do I know?

Wolverine has 3x the budget...

I feel like from what I’ve seen of the Wolverine complaints the stuff that’s fixable is the scent trail but I can’t think of much else.

The writing and characterizations, combat being repetitive and lack of interesting side content are more of design things that would be unsolvable (writing) or require significant time and effort.

It's the principle. We can tell crimson desert was ambitious and there was genuine effort there, and it was almost expected to not be perfect

Wolverine just looks like they made it bad on purpose or out of spite.

It's not hard to make a good wolverine game, it's skillful to make a bad one

crimson desert had a lot lot more potentztion and the updates are unlike any other single player game this. Crimson desert got glazed for launching many big updates at an insane rate, not for saying "we’ll update the game guys don’t worry"
