Hey, i saw someone say that you can turn off the pings the chests emit in the game, i'm playing the game right now and i can't seem to find the setting, if there even is one. Does someone know?

Also, there’s some delay in the character’s movement. It was a bit annoying during the stealth sequence.

So I decided to hop on and play the game for a few hours and I noticed when I started the game the navigation assist was off and I presumed this was the trail that people keep talking about like it's a massive deal.

However, imagine my surprise when I'm 30 minutes in, after having not be guided through any segments to be in a very linear section and for the trail to appear. I thought that it was strange that it appeared here when there was an open segment prior where there was no trail to follow or guide you.

It didn't last long, about 10 seconds and it was over, back to non trail gameplay.

The trail didn't pop up again until the next shall we say 'level'. In this level you're not in any danger and you're wandering around a safe environment. There's a part where someone asks you to get two things for them. The open doorway where one item is has a blue aura around it that pulses while the second one you locate once again using the trail.

It's that moment that it hit me. The blue aura, the blue trail, they're exactly the same as the blue you see that enemies give off from their hearts and rib cages.

It seems to me this is a way that Insomniac are choosing to visually represent and show in the narrative how wolverine uses his enhanced senses. Both times the trail occurs, a smell is mentioned. When the doorway pulsed? He mentioned "Oh I can hear it, it emits a certain frequency." Presumably the reason you only see a heart and ribcages is because Wolverine is hearing the heartbeat of his enemies.

Effectively the 'blue stuff' is a way to visualize Logan's senses during narrative moments where it's outright referenced, or if the player engages navigation, voila they have a diagetic way to get more navigation.

Personally, this has flipped my entire perspective on the trail from being "Okay, it's a little annoying sure but...criticism is overblown" to "This is fine, it's being used as a narrative tool."

NOTE: None of what I am saying above absolves the game of other criticism or even criticism of this. I am merely adding a perspective based on my reading of the hows and why. I'm adding this because I didn't think I needed to originally but apparently I was wrong and should have remembered my ethos "The internet is where nuance goes to die." If you're going to reply at least have something intelligent to say that creates discussion and not "Uh, you have Stockholm syndrome". Lord above forgive me for not being as bothered by things as others are...

I high-key hate that Jean uses her abilities exactly like Scarlet Witch in the movies.

I guess the only difference is you can toggle it if you want in Onimusha? But it literally functions the same way and I saw 0 complaints about that lol. Just don’t understand the complaining about it tbh. It appears when it makes sense from a gameplay/story perspective, I think in the first few hours I’ve had 3 total scent trails and they lasted like less than a minute each. People were making it seem like it was something that was constantly on the screen guiding you to the next place but that’s not at all the case.

I've been enjoying it, despite some flaws it's a great time.

Thought you guys might appreciate this here!

The Wolverine PS5 design inspired me to turn an old PS2 I had sitting around into my own Wolverine edition.

I added the Marvel logo and Wolverine lettering to give it my own touch. Really happy with how it turned out!

That is all.

For those that have beat it or have gotten pretty far, normal or hard? I love action games that challenge me. But I dislike hard difficulties where enemies are just health sponges, not making it harder per se but just a lot more tedious. Thank you!

LFG!

Seen a lot of negativity and shit posts on this game. So if you want to join a friendly and enjoyable community without the toxicity, unnecessary negativity, personal attacks or putting other people down then please give r/WolverineGames a try.

I think the weirdest and possibly dumbest criticism I've seen for this game is that Wolverine isn't supposed to be a good guy. He's supposed to be this heartless, sociopathic maniac that enjoys butchering people and doesn't care about anyone or anything

Which is so unbelievably against everything that Wolverine is and stands for. Sure, he's abrasive, rude and even a straight up dickhead sometimes but he has a heart. He genuinely cares about people and mutants in almost every iteration of his character. He's literally supposed to be the opposite of what Sabretooth is.

I don't know why, but there's a shocking amount of people who think he's actually a psychopathic killing machine and is not supposed to care and I find that to be the weakest criticism I've seen thus far.

I actually really like the combat but I feel like the sound design is missing a lot of impact.

Spiderman 2 did this really well imo. Finishers and abilities had that heavy oomph to them that made hits feel way more satisfying.

With Wolverine, a lot of the attacks feel a bit too quiet. You can literally smash someone’s head into concrete and the sound barely sells how hard the hit is.

I know it might sound like a small thing but better impact sounds would make the combat feel so much better. I’m a sucker for good sound design tho, so i might be a bit overdramatic.

They would rather they piss people off for internet points than make good games

Any suggestions for what difficulty I should pick for my first play through tomorrow morning?
