If you don't have to do anything, it's not a video game, it's a movie.

"Motorcycle section" puts me off this game more than anything else I've heard.
To my ear, "motorcycle section" screams single-level set-piece on rails with minimal gameplay designed to show off explosions. Just like that level where you man a minigun out the door of a helicopter. You know the one, from every game released in the 2010s.

I dunno who's in that game, but it's not logan.
look, the dude doesn't even have armpit hair. a hirsute, near feral character like logan, who's got hair spewing from his face and arms and everywhere, somehow, doesn't have armpit hair. like that's the part he'd shave.
I dunno who that game is supposed to be representing but I hope at the last scene you fight a boss and it turns out haha not logan the whole time, it was mistique.

I find it kind of funny that Spider-Man is held up as some sort of golden standard to adhere to in all of this. Spider-Man is also very average game imo. The gameplay is not very compelling, and it's no surprise that Insomniac's approach would overstay its welcome after a couple of games. Doubly so when you move from Spider-Man, a character with a more diverse moveset and inherent better traversal abilities, to Wolverine.

From my experience quicktime events mainly work in kids games. Its a really gimmicky mechanic but if you dont want to make a complex battle too hard for example or have a cutscene it works if youre audience isnt used to playing videogames.

The game doesn't seem to be getting very many good reviews.

That sounds like what Force Unleashed did years ago which made it unplayable for me.

Just had a video from a random YT gamer pop up in my feed where he tried out the motorcycle chase on second highest difficulty.
He exited the pause menu, put the controller down and he didn't have to touch it until after the cut scene where Wolverine jumps off the bike onto the truck.
Bro died but he was far enough that he had passed a checkpoint so it just picked back up halfway through the chase.
I have it wishlisted but I won't buy it until it's $10

Watched the clip and… is this some arcade game from 2003?
replies:
I stopped playing Death Stranding because it was nothing but one long cut scene at the start and I still had no idea what the game was about after it stopped. I have rage quite a number of 'on rails' games. I can find other things to do rather then watch a poorly made interactive movie.
replies:
People are so upset about sequences that aren't even 5% of a game that they haven't even played. The general discourse around this game, even in these comments, proves how fucking dumb most of the internet is; just parroting bullshit based on short clips and writing it off entirely, and somehow feeling smug about it.

I mean, I've always thought these scenes were very stupid. Pushing a button that's on the screen isn't really very satisfying anyway.
