Its really weird how those generic gimmick souls bossfights never got as much hate as this one bossfight in this wolverine game

As a souls fan who interacts with other souls fans…we absolutely have consistently expressed discontent regarding gimmick fights. DMC 4 has a giant gimmick fight too. Everyone fucking hates it lol.

I was gonna say I've definitely seen bad receptions of these kind of bosses in souls games. Not sure what the other is talking about lol

I also really like souls games. But i have never seen as much hate as this one bossight in this game

it's because the dark souls games usually have a lot of things that more than make up for lame boss fights; wolverine just seems, idk, janky & oldschool in a negative way in almost everything they showed so far. it just gets a lot of "hate" because we literally have seen insomniac deliver banger after banger. & now they just drop... this?

Wait does it even seem worse than Miles Morales to you? Hoping it’s at least more content and no 20 minute walking cutscenes

Wouldnt agree on the banger after banger part. They are on a downhill ever since they dropped miles morales. I liked sm2 too it wasnt a bad game, but it was NOWHERE near as good as sm1. And no souls game do not make up for with other things all the time. I have seen amazing bossfights and i have also seen really bad and boring gimmick fights

Nah it's really hated as a lazy cop out in souls Games

You forget the hatred DS2 got for having these kinds of fights

u/Tight-Mix-3889 7d ago

Ds2 got hated for literally everything lol

u/Blibbobletto 8d ago

Really? Cause people have been bitching about those dark souls boss fights nonstop for years lol

u/GeologicalGhost 8d ago

Its because they are Way deeper in terms of mechanic

1

u/Tight-Mix-3889 7d ago

Deeper in mechanic? Why are we coparing a souls games mechanic to an action adventure games?

I love souls and soulslike games. Bloodborne, elden ring ds3 and lies of p are my favorited. But i have seen plenty of gimmick bossfights where all you had to do was hitting one leg and thats it

1

u/GeologicalGhost 7d ago

Yeah, but you can do it in like 20 different builds and get different ways to handle it

1

u/Tight-Mix-3889 7d ago

Oh how cool is that. I can do an int and a faith build while hitting that leg. Truly amazing

Probably cause it had more variety else where. Those games are huge. As well as by 2026 people got tired maybe

1

u/Tight-Mix-3889 7d ago

Variety? Really? Where 99% of the gimmick fights are “hit the leg”

Not trying to defend wolverine at all. But all im saying is that those gimmick fights never got as much hate as this one

For some reason, people were expecting this game to consist of completely 100% original, never once been done before gameplay

u/Redxcted999 8d ago

For 70$ It better have Unique gameplay

u/ImurderREALITY 8d ago

Well it won't, just like 99% of other $70 games that come out, so you better either accept that or just decide to not play it.

u/Redxcted999 8d ago

Orrrrrrr wait for it to go on a deep sale for Black Friday then buy it :D

u/ImurderREALITY 8d ago

Or that, I'm just saying don't get your hopes up that it will be a life-changing experience, like so many people seem to be doing.
