What turned me off was the characters themselves bc they looked so different and sounded different from what I'm used to hearing. Rocket is still eh and drax doesn't sound great but maybe I will come to like it.

What I think happened is that Squenix possibly aimed for both games to be a live-service looter, but perhaps then decided to change the direction of "Guardians" when they saw what happened with "Avengers". - Then again, that would be a tight window to just change course into a story-driven single-player game, so that theory is unlikely. - Another theory is that they just tested the waters with two different types of games and bet on "Avengers" to be the money-generators cause of its popularity and just "gave the Guardians game a story, cause who wants that". - But it must be painful for Crystal Dynamics to look over at Eidos Montreal and probably wish they could do that for the Avengers. - Both studios came off the last Tomb Raider trilogy, that's what they're good at. - Maybe if "Guardians" sells enough Squenix will learn from that and have another go at an "Avengers" game and make it similar or even connect it or something. I mean, they have a license...

@@DKFProductions I disagree, the combat at higher levels can be fun, but the enemy design nullify it by turning it mindless chaotic bullet sponge button smash. There is little to no strategy, no truly co-op element (like enemies that require teamup between too different characters to take down, or two characters combo movies like they do in the movies or comics). This is especially true in the bosses and mini-boss just 4-5 characters endless spamming attacks at random gang banging watching the health bar decrease. This is totally different from what you see in Arkham or Spider-Man (or even Infamous or Prototype), actual good super hero games.

Maybe I'll consider getting it."" It's as if you people think the game has been confirmed to be objectively good just because Ralph says it is. Jesus, form your own opinions, FFS. The combat in this game looks like utter shit. You know that if Ralph had instead focused on that and made the video about the banal simplicity of the combat, your comment would instead be, "oH gEeZ, tHaNkS fOr sAvInG mE sOmE tImE aNd mOnEy, rAlPh!" and everyone in the comments would be agreeing that the game looks like just another piece of garbage cash grab.

@@ender4101 Not sure why this would be a heated discussion. There's not much that I've said here that is debatable, nor does it conflict with anything you've said. The fact that people are commenting, "I'm so glad this game is good!" when they haven't even played the game to make that determination for themselves says it all. They have deemed the game good, not based on their own experience with it, but based solely on the opinion of someone else- and not even that of multiple people, but a single human being. I understand the value of watching reviews like this one and making more informed decisions about what games you want to ultimately spend your money on. Nothing at all wrong with listening to the opinions of others to decide whether or not a game might be worth your time and money. That's not the issue. My point is that people don't simply form their own opinions. There's no situation in which one would be justified in proclaiming a thing to be good or bad based solely on the opinion of someone else. I have zero problem with someone saying that Ralph's review made them want to buy the game. I don't care if someone thinks it looks good even if I think the combat looks like it's shit. THE problem is people saying, "Ralph says the game is good? Oh what a relief the game is good! I was afraid it would be bad but it's not bad, it's good!" Not sure what there is to disagree with here but oh well.

How the **** the games industry thought Solo games were dead a few years ago and started on the whole open world only thing was a bit baffling and I am more than happy that outside Sonys studios we have the hint of a return of some great experiences and I hope if Marvel games is what the Eidos Montreal team are on now at Square that they are allowed the free reigns to do them like THIS!

Honestly, if playing only as Star-Lord has saved this game from being a live service game, I'm totally fine with it. I think that having more playable characters would have encouraged the publishers to try the Avengers formula again, especially since development in this Guardians game probably began way before Avengers was released. If the game is as you've described, it has a solid foundation for sequels that can improve upon it and that are also set up to be single player campaigns with no microtransactions.

In Mass Effect (which Guardians was compared to) we also only control Shepard and only get to order the other characters around, I see no problem with that system. Funny thing though is that I remember people complaining about the constant need to switch characters in FF7 Remake, that's quite interesting.

@@AscendantStoic yup. A lot of ME DNA in this game. And Star Lord is like Shephard is Shep sucked… in a good way. Star Lord can’t tank his way through the game. He isn’t strong enough to do it without his crew. So, his super power becomes being able to command this team of hooligans. And really, it would be weird if Drax or Rocket were in charge.

I hope this game gets the FF XV treatment. At launch, you can only control Noctis and you just command your other team members. After a few updates, they let you swap between characters, and this mechanic carried over to FF 7 Remake.

Picked this up after it won best story at the Game Awards. Just finished it, and im blown away. They nail the look, feel, and sound of Guardians of the Galaxy. Combat was a lot more fun than I expected, and i loved the use of different characters to unlock different things in the environment. And the writing was superb. I found myself just hanging around the Milano just to listen to the different conversations between the team members. This quickly shot up into my top 5 games of the year. So glad I gave this a chance despite being unimpressed by the pre release footage. Time to get the rest of the trophies!

I said "what?!" to myself, out loud, in an empty room, just at the title lol. I'm absolutely a visual person and would love to unleash my pc on this, I hadn't even watched a trailer before. The combat does look real bullet spongey, but maybe that damage option in the difficulty will help, and focusing more on team abilities.

I played this game pretty late, but I am so glad that I played it. It is easily one of the best games ever made. I felt the emotion of every scene. The combat made me feel like a badass when I executed things right. Music is absolutely amazing. Visuals and sound design are so good the I actually thought some sounds were real. And the biggest way for me to describe how highly I put up the writing is to reference the rocket and quill fight. Early on in the game when rocket and quill get into a fight I thought it was so annoying that it had ruined the story for me. And then as the story went on the game actually made it better. They stopped fighting, but it took time for that to happen. It wasn’t just a single scene where they make up. The whole game is so good that I almost hate how good it is because there should be other games as good. It’s a AAA studio and not an indie dev who made a game that is full of story and is actually good. (Also Cozmo is still best boy)

Great review of this game I am LOVING. I was honestly a little worried I had lost my mind thinking this game was so great with the Avengers dumpster fire still tormenting me with the promise of good Marvel games. I actually think this game is BETTER than the Guardians movies, and can unashamedly stand next to PS4 Spider-man as one of the best Marvel games of all time. I wish we could have this great of a game for some of my other beloved MCU/Marvel characters (*cough* Iron Man or Capt. America *cough*). Overall it is just great to play a VIDEO GAME instead of an advertisement. I hope we get more games like this as well! Thanks for the great review!!!

So i felt it was a safe bet to take your word on your recommendations for wether a game is one i should play/buy or wait til its free or never play. You’ve ALWAYS been spot on. EVERY game youve told us to play, i got and loved it. Spiderman, ace combat, god of war to name of a few. As soon as i saw the title to this video i got very excited, new game for me to play! Thanks skillup.

Peter’s guns have a learning curve I’m surprised not many reviewers are picking up on this. But they can deliver massive amounts of damage if you play them right. The game rewards you if you stun enemies with the elemental gun or are right in their face. Also you have combat finishers and team ups. So it rewards a tactical run and gun style. Also you build momentum with certain actions which leads to high crits. Also the huddle ups aren’t on any time and act as a “ultimate move/power-buff” and it’s really great imo and most ppl who’ve mentioned this enjoy it.

I still remember when Gears of War 2 was touted as having an "... amazing !!7 Hour!! campaign". EDIT: I've checked the info and the base campaign is listed as taking 10 hours to finish, so yes that was a mistake on my part. The point I was trying to make though was the question of whether or not people would be happy paying $60 for 'only' 15 to 20 hours. Clearly it's not a problem when the hours spent, however many, are enjoyed in a good game.

I absolutely love this game, I just beat it and it is such a beautiful experience. I hoped it would be just like this. I could go on and on about the environment, how the characters feel like a family and how much I love character interaction in video games, how they communicate about upgrades, experiences on the ship and the continuity of your choices . like this blows me away. i loved this video capturing all my love for it . I really loved hanging out with these characters every time after missions, during missions and ughhh 😭 I love Gamoras heartfelt moment as well as Drax’s, the fucking visuals I stayed looking at the “edge of the universe” for ever. Man i loved every character. oh and ya gotta get the combat down bud it’s amazing . edit: especially the detail that characters start doing things without you asking because you build that relationship . The random Wendigo cameo and I haven’t seen that character since wolverine on PS2 got me SO EXCITED. the damn visit to LAMENTIS after being so into it on Loki? yes best looking game of the year & holy shit this GOTY for me , I loved it more than Spider-Man and that’s my favorite character :/ haha

GIven the game costs $99 NZD was a bit reluctant at first for 15-20 hours, but seeing the effort that was put in to the QoL and settings/options on top of the gameplay, story, and great visuals changed my mind as that level of quality across areas that lots of studios ignore - or leave at "good enough" - is something I want to see more of and deserves to be rewarded. Thanks for diving into that detail in your review. Hopefully they get another shot and can improve on the combat. "Maximum Effort" indeed.
