Complaints surrounding Insomniac\u2019s Wolverine<\/a> were persistent and noisy even before its September 15 launch. However, the developer is trying its damnedest to soothe players\u2019 berserker rage by mending the fixable aspects of the game players don\u2019t like. Per IGN<\/a>, the latest update for Wolverine features three new toggle-off settings for fans who aggressively dislike the game\u2019s \u201chand-holdy\u201d tracking mechanics, as though Logan\u2019s fuzzy mitts gripping our own as we ferociously stab through wave after wave of robots and soldiers and robot soldiers was some kind of bad thing. Now, players can switch off the Whiskey Bottle scent trails, Material Crate Audio Clues, and Nightmare Door Roots, which previously were things that directed you to the next interactive element by way of a visual representation of the mutant\u2019s enhanced senses.<\/p>\n

Stashed in the patch notes is another fix involving the game\u2019s bizarre (\u201cuncanny\u201d?) bathroom signs, which some players claimed was evidence that Insomniac had used generative AI during the game\u2019s development. (Insomniac says, \u201cNo way, bub.\u201d<\/a>) With this latest update, players can now enjoy Wolverine without having to look at the game\u2019s bewildering bathroom signs and its coddling tracking lines (famously dubbed \u201cfart gas\u201d by Washington Post journalist Gene Park), which will surely temper players\u2019 feelings about the game\u2019s other perceived shortcomings. Oops, we spoke too soon: Some of the game\u2019s farty \u201cscent trails\u201d remain regardless of toggling, like in story missions such as \u201cThe One That Got Away\u201d that requires Wolverine to track down mutant telepath\/love interest Jean Grey, though IGN reports that Insomniac\u2019s prior update \u201creduced trail opacity\u201d so as to not further provoke its ferocious player base.\u00a0<\/p>\n
