Despite the harsh criticism, Sony's new Wolverine game may have sold tremendously well, achieving nearly 2 million sales in just a few days' time.

    This might be a lot but keep in mind the INSANE budget for this game so despite this it’s still nowhere near breaking even

      Even the insane funds, it looks like it was a complete failure.

      I suspect you may have seen the video of people going out of bounds in that one area? They were able to find larger portions of cities, small towns and so forth.

      It looks like the game was originally meant to be open world or closer to it, but probably due to constraints they bailed on that.

      I’m guessing that’s the source of a lot of people’s dislike.

        Yeah I’ve seen the OOB areas. But I don’t think people dislike the game because it’s linear. Tho hearing the word “constraints” when talking about a $300mil+ budget is kinda funny.
