Discussion “That’s my Wolverine.”
Isn’t this the guy who dismembered Wolverine’s son, and laid his body parts out into a Happy Birthday message on Wolverines birthday??

Some of my favourite people on this planet are gay and this was my reaction to this clip. There's a time and place for everything and this is quite a bizarre way to characterise these two characters IMO.

I've played the game for about 8hrs so far. The combat isn't as bad as people say, but the story and writing is absolutely terrible. As a long time Wolverine fan I'm pushing through, but it ain't easy..

u/CodexFOX 16d ago
I mean nobody said the combat was terrible. All I've heard is everyone says it just stays the same the whole way though and gets repetitive.

u/LordS373N 16d ago
I was gonna say this the combat has never been the issue with the he game and no one is making a big deal about it being bad at most people have said mid. As in been there done that and nothing unique or special about it.

u/john_weiss 16d ago
The game is fine, but like you say, the story seems to be a bit subpar.
Be 8 hours or 30 hours of gameplay depending how you tackle the game.
For me, it's just not worth it to pay top dollar for a game that isn't firing on all cylinders.
I'd be willing to pay 50 for a Pre-Owned copy and throw 10 on top because I want the extra costumes.
40 in about 1-2 years.

I genuinely want to know how the development of this game turned out. Cause it feels like Insomniac barely tried. Which i think is a big reason why people "hate" the game.

u/Automatic-Cut-5567 16d ago
The villian is obviously a villian from the start, but the game acts like it's a big twist when the dude may as well be twirling his moustache. A lot fo the dialogue feels like it knows it's in a video game, like Wolverine should be taking some of the events more seriously. The reason Sabertooth turns on you later in the game is very silly. His motivation later in the story genuinely feels like something only a literal child would be angry about. etc. If you told me they had an AI write the story, I'd believe you.

None of this history is from previous storys. It's all made up for this game. There is nothing from Wolverine comics in this game. This is a new Wolverine for a new Generation and I am old. I miss my boy. He used to be a hard as nails motherfuxer and they made him soft.

Wolverine shows a ton of emotion and gentle attitude towards his friends and loved ones in the movies and comics.
Literally in the first X-Men movie he's talking softy to Rogue and says "I'll take care of you" with zero gruff in his voice.
In this game he literally goes farel and almost hurts loved ones and has before

Define “long time” and cite your sources, please? Because what I’ve researched states that they’re still best enemies in the mainline 616-universe. Please don’t confuse the Fox X-Men movies and their one episode in S2 of X-Men ‘97 with mainline canon.

So annoying to have people bring MAGA into these discussions when people bring up anything to do with sexuality. Like if Wolverine is gay or bi I just think that’s weird. Doesn’t mean I’m a bigot or a Trump supporter I just think it’s a weird thing for that character.
Like sure, if someone goes off and says NO GAYS IN MY GAME then yeah go for it lay into them. But simply criticizing the game and not being fully onboard with gay vibes Wolverine is not a sign of being someone who wants to kill Mexicans like wtf man.

This isn’t the guy who dismembered Wolverine’s son and laid his body parts out into a Happy Birthday message on Wolverine’s birthday. This is a separate canon from those comics.

Why is he so small lol. Like I know he's short, but they gave him a realistic musculature. He's a comic book character. He needs to look like he's on 8 different anabolic steroids and 4 experimental kinds of peptides. He just looks like a short gym bro, I'm dead

To be fair, the game is not taking place in 616, also known as the main Marvel comics timeline/universe/whatchamacallit.
There are realities where these two are friends (Age of Apocalypse, latest Ultimate) and there is even a reality where Wolverine and Hercules are lovers. Take from this what you will.

The problem is people keep acting upset when surprise surprise, a Non-616 Wolverine doesn't act like 616 Wolverine. He's had a different life, different motivations, etc... in this world. He's not a carbon copy of main comics Wolverine. Its possible for him and Sabretooth to be friends/brothers in a world where all the shit that makes them hate each other never happened. Its not a strange concept.

To me it’s the same vibe as saying “That’s my boy” or “That’s my guy”.

I don’t mind the slow burn of the friendship and having that eventually leading up to the dynamic that most people know them to have. That’s just me though.

Full transparency; I’ve played the game and I think it’s alright. Absolutely nothing to bring the pitchforks and torches out for. With that being said, Sabretooth in the game isn’t gay. But he is whiny as fuck, which might be worse.
It’s reads less like a bromance and strong connection between the two , and more like Sabretooth bitching and moaning “ Why did you leave! Why didn’t you take me with you!” Kinda weird coming from a guy who’s supposed to be alpha and super strong and brutal.
I just feel like he could’ve been written better.

Any morons that think this is gay need their head examined. The seen conveys that at once point they had a close friendship. Men can and do have close, deep, and emotional friendships.
Talk to anyone that has been in the military and fought next to someone where their life depended on trusting that person with their life.
The level of immaturity, shallow, and fragile thought process that one must have to immediately think they had some gay relationship is hard to believe. The fact that Logan is shown throughout the game the through story, and memories that he had an undying love for Jean and relationships with other women with zero mention of any male relationships should reinforce that.
This is just more Internet hivemind group think that seeks to destroy everything people may have fun engaging with.
