I figured this would be notable enough to show here.

DSP showed that no player input is needed to complete Wolverine’s first motorcycle section. Considering he’s the sort of guy this level of difficulty is made for, even he’s baffled that he didn’t need to do anything to clear the section.

The people who say the game is far too easy may have a point.

    The motorcycle sections are not even 1% of the game, I genuinely don’t understand why this became such a big deal. Like the QTEs, they’re not supposed to be challenging, they’re basically just interactive cutscenes and people are acting like it’s representative of the whole game, it’s absurd. Some lonely haters made up some shit to gripe about and every idiot on the internet hopped on the parrot train.

    feels like we’ve shifted the opposite way of how games used to be. you used to not be able to beat a game on easy difficulty (twisted metal for example) now the games are so easy they beat themselves for the most part

    Lots of hate for this game. Been playing video games my entire life. I’m 41 and have moved towards cozy games and games on easy because I have enough stress in my life. I’m actually enjoying this game.

      There seems to be several difficulties, though the motorcycle section seems to still be simple. That commenter down below showed a demonstration by flats on this section, who cleared it on the 2nd highest difficulty by doing nothing, though he did die once.

      It wasn’t even that difficult! That meme had been circulating for years, but it only took me like three tries.

        It wasn’t that it was difficult. It was that it was just random. And no, driving further to the right alone wasn’t the solution either.

        It wasnt necessarily the difficulty that got to people it was how daft it was. The train leaves your line of sight for like 3 seconds and its mission failed. Its a fucking train, its not going to turn down an alley or something.

    You should see the driving in 007 First Light. You just hold the accelerator and when you’re about to hit something “steer assist active” comes up on the screen and it just steers away from it automatically.

      Wow, I didn’t know that. Those sections are just supposed to be moments that feel cool and stitch together other parts of the game, so they help pacing, but that game’s use of vehicles in general was pretty underwhelming.

      spoiler

      Like how they build up the entire game that you get to use this really fancy car in Q branch, and then it’s only used for a glorified turret sequence. It smelled a whole lot like the scene they wanted to make wouldn’t run well and had to be cut.

        I don’t know what part of driving from point a to point b is cool but to each their own I guess. It just feels like filler to make the game feel longer than it actually is.

        That game also had QTEs that auto complete and and decisions that don’t matter.

          There was a car interstitial that was throwaway, but the parts I was talking about were one where you chased a plane and one where you ran a garbage truck through an alley like a tank, both of which are pretty on-brand.

      DarkSydePhil and the game is literally just “Wolverine”. DSP is notorious for being kind of a miserable person who, in the nearly 20 years he’s been making gaming content, has never learned how go play a video game.

    You know, when people said “Modern games are like movies that you can play,” I don’t think they meant to emphasize the optional meaning of the word “can.”
