The backlash to Insomniac's Wolverine is fascinating. It really does seem like a natural endpoint for these story focused linear blockbuster games, where you're so concerned about pacing your $300 million narrative experience that you have to get rid of anything that could cause friction or downtime

The one thing with the Level-5 AI slop fiasco that kills me is that their presence in that Nintendo Direct had me like "That seems good but I sure hope they wouldn't use AI here, maybe Layton is safe?" and literally one day later they drop "@Grok give me video game presentation many game layton now"

this is the inevitable result of years of games focused entirely on fidelity and players being afraid to miss things or fail so now we get games that are the equivalent of a dog thats been bred to emphasize all its cutest traits but now it can barely breathe or move around and u just feel bad for it
this bit from skill up's review of wolverine knocked me on my ass, it feels like something that wouldve come out of one of those focus m parody videos but its in a real triple A game

Shinobu Sensui gotta be the most compelling anime villain I've watched. Like I feel vindicated on my rewatch that I felt this way ages ago. Oh My God he's seriously so fucking awesome.
