It doesn’t even have to be side quests, but maybe a more open city with more main quest line stuff to do to explore. Not the whole game, just some larger sections that aren’t quite as funneled. Yeah I think Knowwhere would have been cool to explore... it was a very cool environment. Maybe if that was the Hub world? Otherwise I don't think the game needed to go full on open world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Just started my copy tonight and man is it a gorgeous looking game with RTX on with my XSX. Already the amount of dialogue and background banter is great, still getting use to some of the voices(over movie/cartoon) Plus the Star Lord band music is pretty damn great too. One chapter down and return to my ship after my arrest. I’m liking and can’t wait to give her more gameplay time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 God I’m sucking at my huddles lately. I’m better to belittle them then encourage. Starting to unlock more abilities and I believe I was just starting Ch. 6 story wise. So far I think my purchase was well worth the $40 and hell, even a little more. How many fucking hours of dialog did they record for this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm pretty sure they just locked up the voice actors in booths for a month straight. The game was a 150GB install and then quickly shrunk down to 80GB. I'm guessing they saved 70GB by just compressing the audio. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't pay too much attention to what they're saying if you find them being so over the place. Instead, watch the floating text to give you clues on what to focus on.

silentbob Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Just got to the start of Chapter 7 and Spoiler OMG PUPPIES!!!! God are they cute as hell. Also I gotta say they did a great job again with the dialogue and setting up some of these quieter intimate character moments you can activate. Beautiful moment between Drax and Peter if you activate it on Nowhere. Also up to 3 costume finds so far 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Ok I took a night off last night and now completed Chapter 7. Holy shit the HDR AND RTX are just stunning at the end of the chapter and that opening of Chapter 8 😲 In some ways I think this might even surpass Ratchet and Clank as my most stunning/looking games of the year. Plus the chatter from Rocket has been nothing but a little shocking/god damn dark in his humour and I’m loving every second of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucoe Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I started playing this yesterday, and while I'll admit the graphics are excellent, I'm not overwhelmed by the gameplay mechanics. Part of the problem stems from the exact same problem I had with Monster Hunter, in that in every battle I have, I honestly feel like I'm just mashing buttons and making absolutely no contribution whatsoever. And then I either win or lose based off of some kind of random factor that doesn't feel like it has anything to do with what I've done in the game on purpose. The dialogue is great. The pacing is excellent, but again, it feels like I'm just running along rails while the story is actually taking place around me. And that's not even a complaint. It's just a feeling I have throughout my entirety of playing the game so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I'll be wrapping this up later this week. I forget where I left off but it'll all come back to me once I fire it back up. I believe I'm getting kinda close to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just beat Guardians of the Galaxy. I really enjoyed it for the story and characters. The combat wasn't anything special and more importantly not fun. What they produced for a comic book style game though was impressive and I'm glad I stuck it out after a slow start. Not sure if this is spoilers so Spoiler It looks like they are definitely making a sequel with how the game ends. I'm down for sure and if they can maybe open the game up a bit more and build upon the combat they could have an incredible game on their hands. Overall, I'd give the game a solid 8/10 and one of the better games I've played in a while. Thank again for those that recommend me to play this and for @ManUtdRedDevils for buying this for me. Great ride! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know you dug RE Village and I'm not digging it for the same reasons you're not feeling GOTG's combat. The Combat in RE Village is my least favorite aspect of the game and is dragging down everything else. I like the exlporation and the puzzles.

silentbob Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 . . . and I beat it. Great story and saw where the ending would go but still liked the way it played out.

ARZ Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Been a while since I posted, but this is the perfect place to do it. GotG is my game of the year :P Haven't poured that much time into a game in quote some time. Bought it day one and glad I did....had it beat within a week, and i'm notorious for not finishing games, lol. This might be my first new game+/replay since the OG Mass Effect 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy "undershot our initial expectations", says Square Enix Quote ...director Yosuke Matsuda stated: "The HD Games sub-segment launched Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy in Q3. Despite strong reviews, the game's sales on launch undershot our initial expectations". However, Matsuda went on to say: "Sales initiatives that we kicked off in November 2021 and continued into the new year have resulted in sales growth, and we intend to work to continue to expand sales to make up for the title's slow start". So, at least they aren't ready to give up on it yet it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
