    I don't mind having to push a button to get the claws out, as long as they stay out until I tell them to retract again. That's a big part of the fun of pretending to be Wolverine - the SNIKT as the claws come out

      You were not the only one.
      We all had that problem during the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. We just didn't have a way of knowing if a game was any good unless we had gaming magazines or we heard something about the game from other players through word of mouth.
      If you didn't have many friends with your console or a subscription to a gaming magazine, you had to hope for the best when buying a new game, since you could only see a glimpse of the game in action by looking at the game's cover and the pictures in the back of the box that the game came packaged in.

    Mutant Apocalypse on the SNES was the shit, but Clone Wars is pretty good, too.
    The claw retracting mechanic is usually done in such a way that Wolvie's healing factor only kicks in when his claws aren't out. That clearly took some time to figure out, and even though it doesn't make in-universe sense, I think it works from a gameplay standpoint, if executed well.

      @failinginamerica 6 років тому +17

      Sometimes commentary in subtitles can be funny if done right, and done rarely. It shouldn't be that the person making the subs feels the need to add something to try to be 'funny' at the end of every fucking sentence. No one likes that shit, I don't get why anyone does it. I always just turn subs off whenever it's done to that degree of fuckness.

    I feel like the Wolverine game is a little TOO accurate to the character. Like, his claws actually do hurt him, it's just that his healing factor keeps them in check. Dude is actually in constant pain due to having his adamantium skeleton.
    Healing by using beer also checks out. Wolverine drinks so much, that only an Australian can accurately portray him.
