Sony needs to do an insider program or something where top level of plus gets early access to demos during e3 time on upcoming games. I think there are some things that could have been alleviated by getting feedback earlier from consumers. At the end of the day you have a QA team telling you for years different things but this continuous model of extremely high budget games taking 4-8 years to drop from announcement then some how not showing gameplay til final year then "we flew them out put them in a fancy hotel can only use our footage and previews afraid to really say any concerns" Is getting old from many game developers. It doesnt build consumer trust. People dont trust previews. People wait for review embargo to lift just to look at a number. In this case the number is lower than usual but if reviewers in a better mood and less competition number could be higher. Then people buy and feel they were lied to vs actually reading the content of the review.

Dev team possibly learns from feedback of game but they are always already some what in development of the next game they are working on or game design documents too far ahead

Seeing a lot of reviews mention it was too many waves of enemies where it felt tedious vs more intentional less button mashing.

Praying Resonant is better but either way Phantom Blade Zero is my 100% buy its just so incredibly long til then when I want a game now

I sorta hate when ppl say this type of stuff, because how tf are we measuring this lol.

Like, some situations it makes sense. Like MAGA getting mad about Kirk jokes despite us being able to document exact MAGA ppl who made fun of left winger deaths

But this post above is sorta like "huh??"

Starfield was widely clowned and people were hyper critical of to an insane degree. With a much larger scope

I dont think games should get a pass for having an IP many people love be it Wolverine , Spider Man, X Men , LOTR, Harry Potter . Some get a lot of levity because the fanbase loves the character vs just being honest about poor design decisions.

Man this is disappointing

This the same gameplay and linear style yall want God of war to revert back to?

The game looks mediocre to me. I'm not saying the game shouldn't be criticized.

I' saying i hate the "The same who are saying we shouldnt be too harsh on pancakes today are the same exact people who were s***ting on waffles exactly 3 years ago".

Always seems like the person is just talking out of their ass imo. Like how do we know these are the same ppl? lol

Because we can recognize general consensus

You don’t need to compare the exact people then and now. You can obviously have a feel for what the general consensus is and that’s enough to go by

Heard the accessibility features are good so hopefully so

crazy how much of a disaster this is

Everybody LOVES this

After playing Spider-Man 2 and Ghost of Yotei these critiques against Wolverine make a lot of sense. The handholding/ yellow paint design is getting out of control. I understand flagship games need to be approachable, but with a more 'mature' game like Wolverine there was an opportunity to make the gameplay reflect that, aka be more intuitive. But it seems they opted for the safe route again... The pressure for Laufey and Intergalactic to be successful has just increased again, a spin-off and new franchise... We'll see.

The downfall of Sony is truly something. Just bad decisions all around

It’s truly a great thing for us. They’re about to go through their second ps3 era at this rate. No more cocky Sony

Starfield looks mediocre but Wolverine looks great because it has better graphics , cutscenes and art style to you ?

Crazy how someone for months said “ hey guys this looks like a disaster “

Your OPPs are laughing at you

Nigga have you washed your ass or anything? Do you work?

You been at this for like 48 hours straight

On way to gym now good question

Woke up to an algorithm bomb lol

I feel bad this is the game people are coming down on so hard but I do feel like the dumbing down of triple a games has been putting people off since the third person slow story focused “cinematic” really took off as the so called peak of the medium early 2010s

You see it in the success of indie games that are super simple presentation wise and all about gameplay, people’s preferences have flipped

I’m sure triple a will start aping indie stuff now, while cramming in money schemes. Interesting watching this industry age as it’s still relatively new compared to everything else.

The bubble finally burst

100% and this game is an easy target because people have no attachment to it plus overall backlash against Sony

Like all the issues with this game are present in the new god of war games, but that franchise was doing a lot of heavy lifting because it’s a legacy video game IP only and Sony was at their peak when they came out

Better wording would be i think Wolverine looks fine. Just not something i would buy day one at full price.
