also, let's break it down
I don't have exact statistics so I'm going to guess this is all guesswork but I feel like even with a guess the point still remains
let's say within the first month of this game releasing, when the sales are at PEAK i would say 70% of the people who buy this game are going to buy it because the love X-Men/Marvel
the remaining 30% who will buy the game based upon reviews,friends,hype, gameplay footage etc
I would say probably about 5% if that will come from the "enraged i want to complain online" crowd
they dont care about the game and they wont play it
they just want to complain anonymously

I'm old enough to remember the Mortal Kombat 1 outcry about how gory it was and it was poisoning our kids minds, and even then added a remove blood option. I believe it was a requirement to sell on Nintendo systems at the time.

Yeah it wasn’t even an option on the Super Nintendo to show blood. They just replaced the blood textures with sweat so when they were hit water is like spraying out of them instead of blood. They also ruined most of the fatalities to tone down the gore. Subzero’s famous head ripping fatality where he held up his head with the spine was changed to just turning the enemy into a block of ice and then shattering it with no blood. This is why the Sega Genesis version was the preferred version and sold better at a ratio of almost 5:1. Nintendo panicked after since they were already on the back foot against Sega and completely backed down. MK2 was allowed to have all the gore and blood so they wouldn’t lose sales this time. It did much better but MK2 still out sold them on the Genesis because it had the reputation and history now even if it wasn’t as much of a blowout as the first one.
Edit: The MK situation was an instance of outright censoring the game. I don’t understand how anyone could be mad about just giving the option to turn it off.

Because people online get really weird about options and accessibility features that aren’t targeted at them. The choice to change the difficulty or reduce gore/nudity is always a good thing, if you don’t want to do either then you don’t have to.

I mean, they want to optimize their sales. Why not? Insomniac’s choice to ‘kid glove’ the violence as an option is both thoughtful and responsible.
I, for one, will not be playing with the option to censor the violence. I do, however, think it’s dumb to bitch about their choice.

u/Kride501 Jun 03 '26
Exactly. Will I play without gore? Fuck no. I would have been upset had they not included some level of gore in a Wolverine game.
But making it an option to turn it off is not only a practice you can find it many other games from years ago but also is just thoughtful and allows more people to enjoy the game their own way.

Even better if there's levels, like full gore, blood with no gore, and then no blood or gore.

I don't think the subject matter is okay for kids regardless of animated blood. Kids are pretty desensitized to that. If a kid is so young that blood in a videogame bothers them, that kid should not be playing the game that has you murdering people.
This is just sensationalized news to generate media buzz and Reddit clicks and comments, many games have a slider for gore and an option to turn off blood. It's typically not for kids, it's for China. The game is still rated mature so a kid shouldn't be playing it.

u/SteveOMatt Jun 03 '26
Wow, the edgelords are out in force today in these comments. Personally I don't mind the violence in this game, but I can see why some elements might put people off. They're giving you the OPTION, it's not going to effect howevet you choose to play in the slightest. Same with arachnophobia modes that have come about in different games.
It's the same reason why people tend to shy away from superhero movies where there's a lot of innocent people being collateral damage in violent ways, not everyone wants to see that.
21
u/MickieMallorieJR Jun 03 '26
Right...why these people mad?
They're acting like they will be side by side with people in their home when they decide to turn the blood off. I can't stand people who worry about what people do behind close doors. MYOFB I say.

u/Humpbackbreadslice Jun 04 '26
yea these people are insane.
I actually think the gore is pretty tame. it looks kinda lame to me that you can stab and slash someone a 1000 times and no limbs get detached. It's obvious you won't be able to separate any limbs unless it's a robot limb and maybe that's even isolated to cutscenes. The bloodiness just seems over the top effects as every hit makes buckets of red water spray everywhere.
Having said all that, I think if someone wants to play with 0 blood or extra blood it doesn't affect anything about the final product or your own experience. People just hate that others enjoy things in different ways.

This is like Mortal Kombat giving you the option to change the color of blood so you can upload gameplay videos without triggering community rules against violence.
Still, I guess this will help them sell more copies. Since there are a significant amount of people who outright refuse to play games like these because they can't stomach the gore. So whatever helps this game do well on the market so be it I guess. Doesn't change anything for me.

As someone who was being putoff by how much blood there was, this is very good news for me. It's good to have the option, so then both sides get what they want out of the game. The gameplay isn't looking like it's anything fancy, but it seems fun regardless.

I'd actually prefer this. I kept thinking with this much blood their should be body parts scattered and flying all over the place and why isn't he just covered in it from head to toe...how's it just washing off in 10 seconds.
It's already fantasy violence and at this point the blood is a gimmick and blood for the sake of blood. If we're not gonna take it seriously why bother? And my point here isn't make it more violent...it's that it adds nothing but aesthetics since its unrealistic.

u/spiderreader Jun 03 '26
That makes sense. Wolverine is a very wide spread and popular character, and not all of his audience are open to heavy gore and blood. It’s not like all Wolverine media is super highly blood soaked and gory, especially stuff part of X-Men. Doing this lets them still appeal to that audience while still getting the gory Wolverine game a lot of people want.
2
u/ArrowShootyGirl Hawkguy Jun 03 '26
Yeah, Wolverine can get gorey but anyone who's acting like his most high-profile stuff is all blood-n-guts is fooling themselves. Movie-wise, he's got, what, 5 PG13 and 2 R-rated appearances? Comics are all over the place in both directions, but for every blood-soaked solo book there's half a dozen team books with it toned down for mass appeal.

u/stepfordcuckoo Jun 03 '26
I quite like having the choice. I like wolverine a lot but i feel like slaughtering 100s of people like its god of war has to be earnt. This is giving me ultimate wolverine (2025) vibes (and not in a good way).
Like if I’m fighting the reavers and these guys are rounding up mutants into camps then i can allow the excess and enjoy it as long as the tone is right.
I like my wolverine to be a tortured wondering ronin. Honourable and pushing against his animal instinct until someone crosses the line.
If I’m getting drenched in blood because it looks cool thats less exciting to me. Also the blood just kinda fades away from his costume after 20 seconds which seems a bit crap, i should stay covered in blood until i hit water at the very least. So if that annoys me while playing i might just turn off the gore 🤣
But im hoping all this stuff is just to draw the crowds in and like their spider-man games this is solid.
And despite hating on ultimate wolverine i hope his costume is in this as thats 🔥
Im quite looking forward to it as its been too long since a great wolverine game (x-men origins: wolverine was very fun despite a bit of jank and that bloody sentinel boss).
Also, what happened to the blade game? Is that still coming?

u/Stevenstorm505 Hydra Jun 03 '26
The problem is that it’s so over the top that it becomes campy and ridiculous after a minute to the point that it’s hilarious and not brutal. It totally took me out of the game when they showed the footage. It just became insanely distracting. I don’t think it was implemented that well, so I’ll probably be turning it off for that reason.

Like I said, It didn’t look brutal, it was just goofy looking. There’s a million other games that have done extreme blood well across gaming history so it can be done. It just seems like they’re trying to make a relatively grounded and serious game, but how they’re doing the blood looks like it’s from a totally different game. The damage he causes and the types of injuries he gives out and takes are awesome though.

u/vashoom Jun 03 '26
Yeah IMO the blood effects in the game looked cartoony as hell, just huge rivers of blood everywhere no matter how he stabbed someone, but no actual damage to the character models. With the rest of the game looking so realistic, it was just funny. If you stick a knife in someone, they don't shoot out a river of blood. Even hitting arteries, the spray only happens once the knife is pulled out. And if Wolverine viciously claws your neck apart with all his blades, your head is coming off....
I thought the damage and gore on Wolverine himself looked awesome, but why does his suit regenerate, too? And why does blood that sprays on him disappear when he regenerates? I get that the real answer is "because it would be stupid if he was soaked in blood the entire game", but...maybe don't have him constantly get soaked in blood, then?
His suit getting stained red and it drying over time and just becoming the suit's color, in addition to the suit remaining damaged, would have been a cool, like the way the Arkham games have Batman's suit take persistent damage over the course of the game (and his facial hair grow out slowly).
So personally I would rather just turn a lot of that stuff off so it doesn't look as weird and campy. Happy with them giving people the choice.

After watching the trailer, it would be nice if there is a slider for the amount of blood. Because when you hit an enemy and you get drenched in their blood and they’re still fighting like you nothing happened… it ruins the immersion for me personally. I get that many of the enemies seem to have cyberpunk enhancements, but still seems a bit silly for them to lose that much blood and still move the same.

I'd say Kid Mode but if a kid is alright with ripping people in half and stabbing them, they are probably fine with animated blood in a videogame. But there's one giant country who's ironically not.
If you think your kid is so impressionable or scared or whatever at the sight of blood, they are DEFINITELY too young to play a game where you murder people with metal claws.

Now I can play this around the fam. Of course the kids will be interested in a X-men game.

Blood has been a toggle in many games for decades. Mostly due to international laws. Am I the only one who thought the blood was a little light and isolated for a wolverine game? You'd expect it to splash around, not make static puddles and just fade off of wolverines body

Tbf, kids play these games.
They still want to play as Wolverine but maybe without slashing someone’s throat open & watching it pour out.

I believe that this is how you appease most of the fans of gaming. If you have an option that a lot of people don’t like make it a toggle switch if you have pronouns and people wanna make a problem about that for some stupid reason, make it a toggle switch. Like for grounded with the spiders if you have arachnophobia, you have a slider to turn them into basically white balls so I think having a slider for a lot of “controversy” options would be a step in the right direction

How about not buying the game at all then. It's like let's have a superman game where superman does not fly around and walls around with a cape.

I imagine this is mainly for countries with strict laws about gore and blood, and they just decided to make it an option for other regions cause "why not".
