While Avengers has better overall combat than this, this game is better at utilizing the team mechanic. Probably because this game didn't have the extra burden of multiple player characters and co-op. As I've said repeatedly, ignore all of the looter post game stuff in Avengers if you want and just play the single player campaign and story DLC's. That stuff is really good. Avengers stumbles in its post game stuff mostly due to repetition and poor implementation of the loot mechanic. Now I'm actually interested in Avengers. I didn't really have much interest in co-op and I just about never bother with post-game content. Either way, I'm really enjoying Guardians. The banter is perfect and I like the way the team play works here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Man this game is good... perfect mashup between the movies and the comics while creating something new. I really hope it does well enough for them to do a sequel or at least drop some story based DLC. The Cosmic side of Marvel is very underrated.

stepee Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I don’t know the comics or anything much but I do know I usually prefer weird Marvel movies, so I’d like to see some more of that in games. Like a Dr Strange or Ant Man game sounds more fun to me than more Iron Man or Captain America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really fun, and you don’t have to go out of your way to avoid the non single player stuff at all, there were like maybe a couple parts it tried to suggest some other mode or some shit but it really is paced quite similarly to this..it just also has other stuff that isn’t good on top.

I would love an Ant Man game by this same team, even if I have no idea how they'd be able to do the shrinking in real time. That would require some wild loading of assets as everything changes from human scale to ant scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Up to chapter 4 and loving it. The “Huddle Up” mechanic is so hilariously fantastic. Rest of the combat is ok. I feel like they should have slowed down time when you’re in the Guardians tab like FFVII remake or Mass Effect. That would go a long way. The story is super engaging so far, this is first game in a long long time that makes me Just want to keep going and going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writing, the acting... all top notch. I might like every character here better than any of their movie counterparts...except maybe Chris Pratt's Star-Lord because he was seemingly born for the role. Even then, part of that might be only be because they had to leave enough wiggle room for the player to role play here. That takes absolutely nothing away from the Jon McLaren's Star-Lord. His work on this game is wildly well done. This game has very much been a "I just got the vaccine booster and I really should be resting, but I'm playing this instead" kind of game. You know how there's a bunch of games where people say they have great stories, but they don't really? They just have good stories for a videogame. This one is just a great story and the cast really carries it. It's so good that I don't even care that I upset Rocket by letting Drax throw him across that ravine. It's the only time in the game anyone got upset with me, but that rodent bastard deserved it for the joke he pulled on me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a mix of a few things but to me it kind of plays like Uncharted in Space at least in the beats and flow of the game. The combat itself is more like FF15/FF7R style combat, it works really well since the whole game is trying to make you feel part of this team. An effort which it succeeds at admirably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I’m up to chapter 5 and the game is great. Honestly if this was published and marketed by Sony, I think it would do gangbusters.
