In all seriousness, go for as many elite fights on the first floor as you can, theyāre not too difficult and you get a relic from them. Also, make sure you use your potions, you get quite a lot and theyāre really useful!
Looks like Guardians of the Galaxy wins! Great game, beat it a couple months back and itās fairly easy to split into weekly chunks too. Shall we say up to chapter 4?
It's basically the reason I haven't bought. Someone said he wasn't playing without it, but I looked at his aim and it really looked like it didn't do much disabling it. I just don't like games to play for me. Aim assist is fine ofc.
Lol I literally just started playing GotG yesterday on Game Pass as I've been looking for something worthwhile to play. Might be the first time in a long time where I'll join in this month. Although I'll probably just play it as much as I want since I desperately need something good to play on my Series X now.
So far I'm really liking it. The constant conversations and dialogue choices during missions are great. Not so much when you're on the ship though as I just want to get to the next mission. The gameplay is fun and varied, but it remains to be seen whether it'll still be as interesting 10 hours later.
@RogerRoger For what itās worth, I find the movies grating as well, plus anything Chris Pratt makes me want to hurl. The game though is so, so much better at endearing you to the characters and itās just as good as Miles Morales imo.
Started it yesterday, not as though I haven't got enough to play BUT thought I'd join in for a change.

It's pretty, very pretty. Yeah there is a lot of banger, I think I'm missing most of it but the characters do feel alive and very much SE's Guardians and not those from the movies. Drax isn't as stupid, Gamora isn't quite so serious whilst Groot remains Groot! This Peter seems to have more of a clue about things as well. Rocket remains the best character in it though.
The combat seems okay, music is great and it just feels like a fun game. Some frustrating platforming sections but so far I like it.
@LtSarge The only problem I found with the constant dialogue is that itās not brilliantly thought out at times as I found that sometimes a cut scene would trigger mid conversation if you pushed on while talking.
So I eventually ended up stopping to listen to what was being said which felt kind of stupid but it seemed daft to miss out on conversations otherwise.
@Thrillho That's true but at the same time, I feel like there's so much dialogue during the missions that I can live with not hearing everything they have to say.
Speaking of which, I think it's very impressive that they recorded so much dialogue for the characters and for different situations. For example, I was going off exploring and started shooting something on the ground that I thought I could destroy. Then Drax said something along the lines of "Why are you shooting, Peter Quill, is there an enemy near you?" and then Peter replied "No, there's nothing here". I think it's cool that there's context-sensitive dialogue in the game as well. Absolute kudos to the developers for recording so much dialogue and keeping players constantly entertained throughout the missions.
Iāve got a few games in progress, but I did go ahead and start Guardians and I think Iām going to really like it. Itās a bit weird at first, and it wasnāt the best opening that Iāve ever played, but after a few minutes it starts to feel a little better to play and you get used to the constant chatter.
Part of my issue was that I spent too much time trying to get fancy with my settings at the beginning. I always get obsessive with the settings at the outset ā making sure the audio, video, difficulty, controller configuration, etc is all set the way I want; and I am playing on PS5 with my 3D Pulse headset so I wanted to have the 3D audio enabled. When I activated the custom audio with full dynamic range for 3D it made the voices so loud and all the audio was really jarring and inconsistent. I kept trying different adjustments to no avail and I finally just had to switch to the default audio and Iāll just have to go with that. Iāve opted for Ray Tracing for the video, but not sure if Iāll stick with it.
As far as the game itself and the characters, I think itās going to be really good. I played the Telltale GotG game, and I can already feel a significant difference between the characters, especially Peter and Gamora. Rocket, Groot, and Drax are fairly consistent across the different entries. Probably because they are relatively one-note in their personalities, whereas Quill and Gamora are the more nuanced and complex characters in the group.
@ThereThere As long as you aim to be onto Chapter 4 by the end of the week then youāll be fine! If youāre anything like me then youāll be saying ājust one more chapterā anyway š
Just finished Guardians of the Galaxy. What a fantastic game! I liked the GotG movies a lot but this game made me like the GotG franchise even more. That's the advantage of experiencing long stories through media such as TV shows and games; you get to spend more time with the characters and they start growing on you. I tend to not care about most Marvel characters because I've watched their stories through the MCU movies. Having now played this game for roughly 20 hours and experienced the backstories of the Guardians, I care about them a lot. I was also surprised to see so many interesting characters in the game in general. Moreover, the humour was on point and the constant chattering between the characters always kept the missions fun and interesting.
I'm also glad that the gameplay managed to stay interesting until the end. It felt very simplistic at the start but then you start pulling off all these different moves and attacks towards the end of the game. At that point each battle would become an exhilarating cluster of chaos and it was super fun. The different elemental attacks and abilities helped spice things up and the enemy variety was decent enough. Not to mention the huddle up all-out attack where you get to listen to a classic 80s song while going berserk on enemies.
Speaking of which, the soundtrack for this game was stellar. If you loved GTA Vice City because of its 80s soundtrack, then you're going to love GotG's soundtrack for the same reason. Listening to songs like Take On Me, Final Countdown, Never Gonna Give You Up and so on during battles made fighting so much more satisfying. There's just something about listening to songs like these during gameplay that enhances the experience a lot. It's the same reason why I loved Metal Gear Solid V when you e.g. fly in on a helicopter to a mission while listening to Take On Me. It's just so awesome. However, I do have to say that doing a huddle up attack against the final boss while listening to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" kinda killed the mood.
With that said, this was one of the best licensed superhero games I've played. The story was concise and the character development was so good. Furthermore, the gameplay was fun and it remained interesting until the end. On top of this, the music helped elevate the experience a lot. So overall, I loved this game and I'm glad I got to experience it.
Iāve only made a little progress; probably a week behind everyone else, but currently in Ch 4.
Man, Iām starting to love this game. It feels very much like a Sony first party styled game. A smidge of Uncharted along with some Ratchet & Clank vibes with the platforming shooting and futuristic weaponry. The party mechanics feel nice too and add something to the combat encounters. The Huddle Up feature reminds me a bit of Persona, how you can team up in those combat scenarios.
This has quickly become my main game and nudged out my other games Iāve been playing. It feels like one of those games that Iām going to want to savor.
āWe cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.ā
I've made my way to chapter 14 and am enjoying the story and music but if I'm being honest, there's something about the gameplay that doesn't quite hit for me. Combat feels pretty floaty and the huddle mechanics still feel weird.
@R1spam@ThereThere I just seem to recall the game having the familiar problem that by the end you just end up spamming the same moves over and over rather than being too tactical.
@ThereThere@Thrillho I don't feel like anything is pushing me to adopt new strategies and the enemy variety isn't great. The gunplay feels very floaty and your party actions look awesome but I fire them off without thought. I ended up sticking the game on easy to just make the combat pass quickly. I am enjoying the game again after taking a break and feel the rest of the game (visuals, soundtrack, writing, character interactions) are first rate. If embracer picks up the license for eidos (edit) post acquisition, I think the gameplay needs a fair bit of work in a sequel.
@ThereThere Nice! You made quick time through it. Iām pecking away and hope to have a few hours this weekend.
Each time I play I appreciate it more. The only voice acting that I donāt care for is Gamora. Sheās okay, but sounds a smidge tooā¦ I donāt know, Southern California? Just doesnāt quite hit the alien assassin vibe consistently enough. All the others, including the secondary characters, have been great though. Especially Peter Quill, who somehow is able to sound enough like Chris Pratt to not come across too disorienting, yet different from him to make the performance his own.
@JudgeDredd Not so far. The flashback version of Peter is a little weird, but child and adolescent versions of main characters is difficult to nail (see Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 3, whichever Tomb Raider that was which had her as a kid, etc, etc). For some reason it works going forward and having a progressively older version of the character (TLOU2) but not the other way around.
But no, I think heās less ābro-dudeā than Pratt but more āoverconfident salesman talking his way out of troubleā. But Iām still only in chapter 5.
