56:46 I disagree about the limitations of Wolverine's design in this game. Wolverine doesn't have the biggest array of powers, but games like the Marvel: Child of Atom and Marvel vs Capcom fighting games managed to give him a very unique moveset. There was nothing preventing Insomniac's Wolverine from having more unique attacks similar to Berserker Barrage, Weapon X or a Tornado Claw.
Hell, even without flashy attacks, just intricate combos like you'd have in PS2 games would make this gameplay so much more dynamic
Gene is so annoying and i don't like how he cuts everyone off.
You should stop with the fake reviews man
Well one thing is for sure Insomniac will absolutely allow us to turn off the gas trails in a patch it's a matter of time
Can't tell if the PS App icon being rebranded yellow and black was for Wolverine or RU OK day at Sony
Im a little confused on Ralph's take on the scent trails. The scent trails would absolutely ruin an experience based on exploration and discovery. This game doesnt seem to be trying to do that at all?
It is trying to get the player from point A to Point B as seamlessly as possible so you can either get back to combat or the story.
I am far more offended by Atreus in GOW or Alloy in Horizon talking immidiately when they see a puzzle solution, since those are about figuring things out in the environment.
How on EARTH is the Wolverine game bad? HOW? Why are so many people treating this game like it's the worst thing since the Bubonic Plague when there are much worse games out there?
Expectation is the death of enjoyment
The saddest thing about wolverine is that it paints a uncertain future for insominiac.
Big companies havent been taking lightly to failures. Specially in the game industry.
As ok as the game is, the studio dont deserve to cease to exist and I hope the devs will be well.
1:26:35 SURPRISE! KITTY!
thanks
lmao lucy's expressions while jake was explaining the michael myers stalking and blood lust mechanics
damn gene is 40? he looks like 60 plus. what hatred does to you
Jake I gotta know, what’s your favourite Halloween movie and what is Ralph and Lucy’s fave horror movies by extension?
Wolverine and Sabertooth are brothers, buddy
This isn't the first time that I have heard Ralph mention time limits on reviews. Is that just for how much B Role can be used? Because channels like Kinda Funny or even this video are much longer discussions.
I would love to know what death he is talking about that he was like yes for 😂😂😂 it's gotta either be Leech, Walter or Deathstrike.
Just fell to my knees at HEB
damn right off the bat with the biggest comments on that wolverine vid 😂😂😂
Gene’s summary of his thoughts on Wolverine is basically how I feel about The Last of Us 2.
I actually broadly enjoy it – tho I think its structure is not very good. But the Santa Barbara section is just…awful. Great for slight gameplay evolution, but I just feel utterly miserable and like I wasted my time finished that game, each time, even with years in-between.
Wolverine on PS5 has sold 1.9M copies ($130M), making it the #6 top-grossing new 2026 PS5 game in just three days HELL YEAH 😉
56:55 Wolverine literally does have super strength and agility in the comics 🤣
this might actually be a fairly common thing but i also failed the platforming at the church in Svartrau and had to kill Xanthe on the spot just like Lucy mentioned. the controls in this game can be pretty janky at times
What babies, I was waiting all my life to get a wolverine game and this being both PS5 exclusive and getting mixed reception is something to be mad about. We may need to wait now 10 years or never get another one. You are to advocate for us to get good games 'ahhh whatever and I like queer coding' is why people are turning away from mainstream
Jurnalists, you should work for us and for betterment of AAA industry that is in shambles today.
I fell to my knees at the optometrist seeing this. I dropped my glasses
1:02:23 It was from PlayStation…
