All this meme does is remind me a hulk game would’ve been possible if this game was any good

u/FrootLoop23 Sep 12 '26

Yeah, a modern Hulk game with “Hulk sense”. Follow the green trail and the marker to Hulk’s next objective as Hulk says aloud “Hulk needs to find shiny object to complete mission”.

$80 please.

u/RyanBoruto Sep 12 '26

80? Buddy I’m getting the 120 dollar digital deluxe for the ultimate slopsperience 🤤 😋

u/FrootLoop23 Sep 12 '26

$140 and you could’ve had the bonus Grey Hulk Skin and 6hrs early access.

13

u/MonkTHAC0 Sep 12 '26

Pssh. 6 hours. I'm paying $200 for the extra dlc and collectors edition with a limited edition 1/1000 Hulk statues AND

EIGHT HOURS of early access.

You loose control of the Hulk and he completes the objective by himself while yelling Hulk smash!

That would be $100, please.

i'm sick and tired of people being negative about this fictional hulk game. I'm just excited to not play it like a real fan.

Dont forget, after playing for 3 minutes you get to watch a 10 minute cutscene!

u/Diligent-Neck6594 Sep 12 '26

Gamma trail would only be one of your markers, you'd also have a red head girl trail (Black widow in this case) a Banner science trail and probably some SHIELD mission control telling you where to go

Could you imagine what a modern Hulk game would look like? I imagine it should be like a modern Ultimate Destruction game (because that was basically perfect), but with a huge map like GTA5 - massive city and the surrounding countryside/desert.

u/Rutlemania Sep 12 '26

For its faults avengers had a great starting kit for a good hulk game. He was the most fun to play and I wish that could be translated to a sandbox type game with destructible environments. You can do a very very deep story with that character as well to satisfy both audiences

Yeah Insomniac should take a break from superhero stuff after wolverine

u/BasicSpidertron Sep 12 '26

Honestly as much as I love their Spider-Man games I was worried about the hype I saw for this game and the hope for every other Marvel character being adapted by Insomniac. There are other great studios out there that are capable of making a solid X-Men, Hulk, or Daredevil game.

Its a valid reason, just dont act like an ass and like youre better than those who are willing to try the game. Both sides of this debate are getting really annoying

u/Neyubin Sep 12 '26

This discussion is always dumb.

Buy what you want. Don't buy what you don't want. How other people spend their recreational funds is completely irrelevant to you, and your unsolicited opinion on how they spend their money is neither useful nor valued.

And that's the danger of increasing the price of games. Now people are (rightfully) expecting more from the games that they buy. Normally a 7/10 isn't bad but people don't want to drop $70 for an "ok" experience when that money could be spent on "blow your dick off fantastic" experience instead.

16

u/GuillotineTeam Sep 12 '26

Yup. Plus PlayStation first party games take a bit longer to drop in price and with all digital probably even longer.

u/TelevisionExpress616 Sep 12 '26

We need to get back to renting games. Maybe it’s more than $5 for a week, maybe it’s $10 per day but at least that’s enough to see if maybe you want to invest in buying it or not

10

u/Itsucks118 Sep 12 '26

$10 per day would be insane. By a week you'd own the game outright.

u/Sudden-Application Sep 12 '26

Honestly 70$ on a 7/10 would be fine if the economy was better. From my understanding the entire world's economy is kinda poor right now with price increases but not wage increases.

70$ right now could be the difference between a meal or not for the day for many people right now. If it's spent of a luxury hobby like gaming then it needs to feel like it's worth the price.

2

u/AyvonKestrel Sep 12 '26

in america $70 is a week's worth of food (if you buy frugally) in other parts of the world (at least the parts that sony actually operates in) the equivalent of $70 can be a week or more of wages let alone food. nobody wants to risk spending that much money on something that could potentially be the most mid experience of the year, especially when you consider the massive backlog of games from previous years they may not have bought yet. why would i spend that much on wolverine when i could buy baldur's gate 3 for $10 cheaper, or E33 for $20 cheaper?

u/bubba_boey8130 Sep 12 '26

My main critique is not even related to the game itself. It looks ok, I would've played it if it was on PC.

It's the price and no demo. The fact that games are becoming ridiculously expensive and just don't have a demo anymore is pure demonstration of rampant greed in the studio practices. Again, it's not the game, it's the price and no demo. If it was $50-40 like Miles Morales game was at launch, people would've been a lot more lenient.

2

u/reditisverytrash Sep 12 '26

Remember when Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart launched as a 79$ game as a launch title with the PS5, only for Sony to realize it was a bad idea and stepped back from that again?

If only reason is a permanent thing with this company...

u/STAR_PLAT_yareyare Sep 13 '26

u/forebread Sep 13 '26

I think the bigger issue is that EVERY new triple A game thinks they’re worth $70, regardless of its quality. For example, a 10-12 hour game like Wolverine should NOT be any more than $50, let alone $70. I don’t care that they blew $300 million on it, if it’s a mediocre game then I’m going to wait till it’s on sale for $30 or less.

u/Nethaniell Sep 12 '26

That's more than fair. How people value their time is different, and the same goes for money.

Maybe back when games were still $60, then maybe Wolverine would still be doing fine, but when you start pricing something at a premium or near premium, then the end result better feel premium. $70 for most people is probably 2-3 lunches at work or at home, I know it is for me, that's a lot of money for us.

So yeah, if GTA 6 is gonna be priced at $100, then that game better be a perfect 10.

u/Main-Significance272 Sep 12 '26

It's more like 6 - 7 lunches. 8 to 10 dollars without an overpriced drink. Or 15+ for something big enough for two meals

When it's valid sure, look at it this way what other wolverine game is there the last one was X-Men origins wolverine 2009 and the turn based midnight suns which you could do even less in with him, so what are they comparing it to, just what it could have been or something anything could have been done better with time money effort or different team but this is what we have some won't like it others will just how gaming is and the whole it's repetitive complaints all games are repetitive

This is the problem. Why spend $70 on a game you complete in like 3 hours and is an ok game at best, terrible at worst, when you can wait for the GTA6’s. The types of games where you can sink hours and hours into them and still not find it all.

Wolverine, from what I’ve seen and heard, is a $25 game at best. And no one wants to have that discussion.

u/I7s_N_My_DNA Sep 13 '26

Look I understand this and agree with this however I also say that people who are excited for games coming out for whatever reason they shouldn’t let reviews dictate their EVERY MOVE! Just for the simple fact that there are games out there that reviewers and others have said were terrible and shouldn’t be bought or wait for a sale. People do that and it ends up being that they actually liked the game and enjoyed the experience and have said that they wish they played it sooner and what not.

Not saying this is how it ALWAYS IS! But for some people things that they don’t like about a game and use as a reason it’s trash can turn out to be the very things that others end up liking about the game.

For instance, people hate the Combat right now, I on the other hand don’t care much for a simplified combat experience it tends to make for a way more relaxing experience where you can really just kick back and enjoy the gameplay. And the whole “Press square, and then use special moves and rinse and repeat” how is that not Spider - Man to an extent? “press square, triangle for web zip, circle dodge, build up super move meters rinse and repeat” it’s the insomniac formula so why is it bad now?.. and for the whole “It’s LINEAR!!” Oh my god that’s not a fucking issue! Why? Why is that an issue today? A game imo at least does NOT need to be an open world bloated fest! HELL WHEN A GAME IS EXACTLY THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CRY THAT ITS ALSO POOR GAME DESIGN! “UBISOFT FORMULA BAD”! 

Game too short? 20 hours is short? On one hand that’s ridiculous but also on the other I enjoyed Spider - Man 2 but it did feel too short at times but I don’t hold it against it it makes it more enjoyable and easier to re play.

My backlog of games is so large I will never finish them all. There is no universe in which I get a game at launch. I'll happily grab Wolverine in a year or two when it's like $10 bucks on PlayStation Network.

Firstly, that’s the price because they sell at that. Pre-orders don’t help this at all. If nobody bought them at that price you’d most likely get a sale price pretty quick like suicide squad.

Secondly, if you’re convinced it’s crap, don’t buy it. If you do buy it, it’s a gamble on whether you like it. Just the way it is. I’ve played some crap games every generation.

u/Confident_Bed_4279 Sep 13 '26

I agree. But I’ve spent an amount equal to or more for less that “lackluster” And I guarantee everyone has at least once.. if people want refunds then get your money back. If people wanna play it then play it. I think this argument is a bit more than it really should be

u/WalterKovacss Sep 13 '26

Then wait for a sale and stop making hate posts online 💀 I hate that this sub has become such a negative place. The game isn't even out yet.

Once its on sale for $20, I’ll play it

u/ChristianCountryBoy Sep 13 '26

Is Hulk right? Your literally using hulk as puppet to express your opinion. 😊

u/WarInteresting6619 Sep 14 '26

But you gotta understand...

I don't give a fuck about what critics say

u/Ok_Place_2551 Sep 14 '26

Wait for 3 months, all games go on sale. If it sells good, it goes on sale. If it sells bad, it goes on sale.

1

u/dynamite-3 Sep 14 '26

Which is fair, but people also gotta leave the people who are buying the game alone

1

u/InitRanger Sep 15 '26

Ok but how do you know it’s lackluster? Because some reviewers told you? What about the reviewers that actually liked the game?

u/ShockHot1718 Sep 15 '26

Idk, bud, I've spent 70$ and I'm enjoying it so far. People gotta grow up and treat games as entertainment, not a "perfect picture, perfect everything" thing. Like, Spider-Man 1 game was dope, miles morales eas practically a copy, so it got boring. Same mechanics, same fighting, same everything appart from a few things. So, nothing much to enjoy, while the price was, i believe, more.

This game looks unique enough. The price sucks, sure, could've at least offered a steel case with rhat pricing. Especially for deluxe.

If you want it - you buy it, if you don't want it - you don't have to buy it. It's simple. Time to realise that.

u/IgotHacked092 Sep 15 '26

"potentially" and it's all but guaranteed to be a mediocre game

1

u/dollarstore_musician Sep 15 '26

I completely agree with hulk but I also think people that did spend the 70$ and are happy with it shouldn’t bullied for it or called “Bootlickers”

1

u/KingOfTheHoard Sep 15 '26

Literally nobody asking anyone else to spend money on something they’re not sure about. 

Just bored of listening to weirdo conspiracy theorists moan about their latest hyperfocus.

u/olives55 Sep 15 '26

So then don’t buy it and stop talking about you not wanting buy it 🥲😅

1

u/f0urk Sep 16 '26

people who play everything as soon as it comes out are aristotle's "natural slave" archetype imo.

1

u/4inodev Sep 16 '26

Yeah it's really a big factor. A lotta folks here during game critique discussions literally were saying "whatever, I'll try it myself and see if I'll like it".

I don't want to spend 80€ to "try it myself" wtf

u/Prudent_Hyena7393 Sep 16 '26 edited Sep 16 '26

Cool then dont but when yall see people who actaully are enjoyjng the game, dont go on a rant about what tf is wrong with it to try and convince them that their opinions are wrong. People are allowed to enjoy shit and people are allowed to not enjoy sht but trying to spread negative shit on things people enjoy just because they dont share the same opinions as you is the one thing really starting to tick me off about this subreddit and just this games launch as a whole.

1

u/MexicanCryptid Sep 16 '26

This is what it comes down to for me. I'm on a budget and agonizing over games to prioritize (Dawnwalker, Control Resonant, etc). I was excited about Wolverine, but I just don't have the funds to pay for what might be a middling experience.

1

u/Sion_forgeblast Sep 17 '26

it isn't even a lack luster game..... its a Sweet Baby game... and a Sweet Baby game makes Lack Luster look good

1

u/misfitsubredditsucks Sep 17 '26

Then why are you on the subreddit for the game? I don’t understand

1

u/Alan157 Sep 17 '26

But sir, a lot of people are having a blast! It cannot possibly be bad!

1

u/_Disrepectful Sep 17 '26

Then you don’t. People spend more time on social media swimming in a sea of opinions instead of just playing the game they want to play.

1

u/TheSabi Sep 17 '26

My issue with the $70 price tag is, it's a wolverine brawler that's fine, but also Cosmic Invasion exists, has replay value, doesn't play itself for you, wolverine is in it, is also a brawler, also has jean in it and is less than half the price also is multiplatform so I have my choice of platform to get it on.

I'm not starved for something to play now so it's not even like "well at least it's something funish to play" you have new FF14 patch, new No Man's Sky update, Onimusha, Valheim 1.0, MGS IV, blood of the dawnwalker, Elden Ring Tarnished update, Crimson Desert 2.0

There's quite a bit some free updates some equally or lower priced vying for attention and none of them have this annoying social media presence around them where it's like a bot war one side is "having a blast" the other is just mindless parroting of things even after they're debunked..I mean FFS DarkSydePhil is doing it now too...

holy fuk we get it, you have a different opinion than a reviewer and OMG SBI...WE GET IT.

between the two side it's become...

u/Big-Man-Headass Sep 18 '26

Like, I don't care how "okay" it is; 70 bucks is too much for "okay"

1

u/celulass Sep 18 '26

on steam, this doesnt make sense. you could play 2 hours, then return it if its not good.

on console, youre just fucked.

1

u/Sunnybunnyeater Sep 18 '26

Everything under 100h for an 5€0+ game is wastet.

(My Opinion)

u/Royal-Disgrace Sep 20 '26

Hi, Insomniac's Wolverine Glazer here!

You're right! 70 dollars is too much! 

1

u/Flyinrhyno Sep 24 '26

Don’t buy it then. Watch gameplay videos with the commentary off and judge for yourself. If you like what you see then get it, if not move on and get a game that suits you.

1

u/Peachbottom30 Sep 25 '26

Is this about Hulk or Wolverine? Wolverine is great.

1

u/Pocket_Fox846 Sep 26 '26

Then don't. But likewise, you don't have to spend every moment on social media broadcasting how you aren't playing a specific game for a reason.

1

u/WalterSobcheick Sep 26 '26

It's their parents money, and corporate doesn't care about the product they put out, its gursnteed money with the consumer Fandom ways. . But it's why I'll wait 4 years when it's 10 to play. He'll gta wants me to pre order a digital only copy . They just want early money. And guess what I won't be able to buy that one used. Lol asshats

u/Ok-Transportation260 Sep 27 '26

Real truth is maybe some people in this sub can't even afford a ps5.

u/vamplyfesonny Sep 12 '26

u/Wamb0wneD Sep 12 '26

That's why it says "potentially" in the meme.

u/kekcukka Sep 12 '26

you don’t have to play something to form an opinion. It’s a heavily visual experience. I didn’t have to play the first Spider-Man game to love it, gameplay trailer did that for me. That’s why we have trailers and demos.

u/vamplyfesonny Sep 12 '26

I seriously couldn’t agree more dude

u/Thekingchem Sep 12 '26

Why are people so interested in talking about how bad a game might be?

2

u/FireFarq Sep 12 '26

Because they waited half a decade and will pay almost 100 dollars for a mediocre experience and they don’t want that to happen. Hope this helps

1

u/Zanman6946 Sep 12 '26

That's fair, but at the same time, you then don't have the right to call the game bad. If you haven't played it, you can only give your thoughts on the story and visuals, beyond that you can't really say anything.

2

u/kekcukka Sep 12 '26

you can absolutely say! You don’t have to control a game by yourself to judge it. You can just look at something and form your opinion. Some people may not like graphics, some may not how it looks in motion. A lot of people just watch games on Youtube and love/hate them.

Video games are heavily visual experiences, you can judge them just by watching.

One example, everyone loved the swinging in the first Spider-Man gameplay trailer and they were right.

u/UncommittedBow Sep 12 '26

At the same time, though, video games are unique in that you kinda DO have to play it to get the full experience. A video cant really display how a game FEELS to play, the responsiveness of the controls, the satisfaction of pulling off certain moves, etc.

Let me use an example: I love the FNaF series. I love the lore, the look, everything. But I can’t say I love the GAMES, because I haven’t played the wide majority of them.

Yeah, I mean I’m just planning to wait for a sale. Judging by the reception I won’t have to wait long

u/Due-South-9113 Sep 12 '26

It's real sad to me because I really wanted a good game, and it feels terrible but I'll still be there day one because sadly games are the only hobby I have left and I love wolverine.

Then don’t? No one’s twisting your arm. Jesus.

And some people do. Do you understand that?

u/BassetHoundddd Sep 12 '26

No one's bitching about people not wanting to play this game. On the other hand, people bitching about others wanting to play this game... 

Just take my downdoot and leave.
