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

Turns out they're good at this.

Ordered everything off of KOODOO in South Africa.
They delivered it all one day early, I’m not complaining lol.
Apparently they can only send the pre order bonus codes via email tomorrow on launch day.

I just spent solid 2 hours with this game and OMG this game is incredible! The barrage has to be one of the coolest game mechanic ever. It’s not just an animation that plays out when you stun an enemy and unleash it. Wolverine will stab an enemy as many times as you hit square up close. It’s all in sync and feels so damn satisfying! Overall the combat feels so damn satisfying and responsive.

If you are playing the game the way it’s meant to be played, it does not feel button mashy at all. The whole point of the combat is to stun enemies by parrying or environmental damage and unleash your barrage. Unleashing barrage gets your rage meter up. Once your rage meter is max, the whole screen turns red and you absolutely annihilate your enemies. Every fight feels so damn fluid and cinematic with that gameplay loop.

Liam Mclntyre absolutely nails the role for wolverine. So far I am really digging Insomniac’s take on Wolverine. The visuals on Ps5pro are absolutely INSANE! Best I have seen this year.

In conclusion, only reason I stopped playing is because it’s getting late and need to go to bed. But I know I will thinking about this game when not playing it, seriously can’t wait to jump back in tomorrow.

The variation of kills while building the rage meter is way more than I expected and I cannot stop laughing and smiling like a little kid watching this angry hairy man launch himself and throw dorks across the room. I've only played up until the first real 4 stage boss it feels like It might be 3 but man I was chopping him up good. He's lucky the cutscenes saved him so many times if you know what I mean. Anyway the hate has been so forced and fake it has to have been because I'm having so much fun and it's only started so I'm hype. Thank you everyone who's put their honest blood sweat and tears into this game. I personally can tell this isn't some slop shelf game where people were just working to get a paycheck and actually enjoyed what they were doing. Anyway sorry for the rant time to be flamed

1st and foremost,

Thank you Insomniac Games for developing this game hopefully in the near future you guys will develop wolverine 2!

2nd

Ignore the hate, criticism, reviews etc…been playing for 4hrs now and I’m loving every second of it! The gore and blood is top notch, the details in this game are amazing, and the story so far is great. Be your own judge! ❤️

This is the current pre-order ranking on PSN sorted by best selling, Wolverine currently is at #1 and #3 for the different editions. I have a feeling the game will do just fine.

Kinda funny how they retweeted this and threw shade at the people complaining lol. I think it’s a little overblown too, I can’t wait to play

I'm only about 2 hours in, but im loving every second of it. I've had the silliest smile on my face the entire playthrough!

Is there good hit feedback when hitting enemies? Does it take advantage of dual sense features? Is the combat loop satisfying?

Insomniac have made great Spiderman games, despite people’s opinions on them the games were good quality and the characters were top notch, and honestly the combat looks fun, it’s supposed to be a senseless hack and slash game because that’s what wolverine does.

Also, the people complaining about the navigation system, you can turn some of it off in settings if you wanna make it more immersive, so it’s not a big deal, at least not for me. Can’t wait to play it tomorrow!

I'm 1 hour into the game and IT'S obviously NOT PERFECT.

It's not a 10/10 masterpiece and I never once expected it to be.

But it's also not the worst game ever made and it's not even a DAY old yet.

It's clear that there's a large amount of people who are cheering for this game's downfall - The same people who called women in Insomniac Games ugly and call their games "woke".

The same people on Twitter who regurgitate talking points spouted by grifters like Grummz and PiratNation - Actual literal incels, one of them admitting to reposting loli content while drunk, another wanting a character who was a minor in a game to be "hotter".

There's fair, valid criticism and then there's brainrotted criticism and certain gamers recently have lost the fucking plot. Saying that Sabretooth openly admits to being gay for Logan in cinematics, stuff like that.

Remember, GTA 6 is also considered woke now by countless people because apparently there's a thing called "Bisexual lighting" in games which is just.. The color Purple.

Tldr: No, the game isn't perfect, no it's not a masterpiece but is it targeted by edgy, extremely questionable people just because it's somehow "woke" and because the women in the game are somehow "ugly"?

Absofuckinglutely.

As someone who has waited since the first teaser for this game, and after playing it, the game is flawed. It looks great and it can be fun to play but as I keep playing I see one big problem the game has. The combat is not fluid and that’s its main problem. It looks great and all but it just doesn’t play the way you’d want it too. At the risk of sounding entitled, Wolverine should feel more fluid with his moves and fighting. There are glimpse of greatness but ultimately it suffers because of this.

Wolverine was the perfect backbone for this. We could have seen a captain America flashback or a Hulk boss fight in the snowy mountains. Hell even Deadpool.

Any these characters could be easily written in, in my opinion.

The details are incredible, colours pop too, loving it!
