It’s incredibly distracting when I see it in motion.

It’s an ugly thing.

Legitimately tell me how many video games have the Guardians of the Galaxy in the last 3 decades compared to the Avengers. All 5 Guardians are stupidly popular characters now. Replacing any of them isn't going to make the game any better if it's ultimately the same as Avengers. The trailer already implies there's going to be more Guardians in the game anyways. I don't even care about the game, I'm just tired of hearing how choosing the MCU characters is supposed to be a bad thing. Can't wait until Guardians 3 comes out & hear how shallow picking Adam for future Marvel video games.


Everyone just wants another The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Sort of like how Spider Man 2 was the gold standard for web swinging for forever.

A rated-M Immortal Hulk game, what a concept that would be.

Its just the same reason why the Avengers Assemble or Guardians cartoon aren't all that popular.

Plus in all honestly I prefer Chris Pratt's Star Lord to remain a strictly movie only incarnation.

Marvel Universe is overall disliked because they barely do anything with the shows.

I understand the complaints but a decade ago no one would even think GOTG would be in Marvel games. Let alone a stand-alone game.

They appeared in Avengers, Earth's Mighiest Heroes with Adam Warlock and Quasar instead of Drax and Gamora. And really, I can't see any other guardians outside of those two and maybe Nova being playable in a game.

Which is a shame, I'd be way more into it if it wasn't the first film's guardians.

Though i am happy they gave Quill his element gun.

A rated-M Immortal Hulk game, what a concept that would be.

An Immortal Hulk that was an updated version of Ultimate Destruction would be great.

Oh he does he have the element gun. Oooh thats a nice detail and makes him funner to play than just having general blaster guns.

Okay watching the demo, I now have more of a problem with the fact everyone can't shut up. Like seriously not a minute goes by without the entire group entering a quip-contest with each other and even in battle they keep screaming constantly.

"Good thing I put on my official merchant costume."

Gamora says this, GAMORA! Hope they tone this down in the final product because the video is very hard to get through with the constant noise.

Bugs, Major Victory, Moon Dragon, & Yondu. Mantis & Cosmos are already in the trailer. Although, I seriously doubt there's going to be more than 10 characters.

So the War For Wakanda Expansion is free.

Alright, fine, I'll reinstall.

Black Panther's always fun as hell to play as. Marvel Heroes, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite... Always a bright spot.

Eh, his Rekka style was kinda funky but I still liked it. Probably would've been better if they T'Challa more accessible like Cap.


I just found out Dan Abnett is involved with the GOTG game. If that means anything to anyone.

According to the Wikipedia entry, he's co-written the Guardians of the Galaxy comics since 2008, so he's pretty spot-on for an assistant for this game.

Thats putting it lightly.

Him and Andy Lanning revived and were the writers of not only the Guardians of the Galaxy comic that the movie is based on, they were also the architects for the Cosmic Marvel saga in the late 2000s where they hemmed acclaimed and popular stories like Annihilation, Annihilation: Conquest, War of Kings, The Thanos Imperative as well as the Nova run that helped put the character on the map.

The Guardians wouldn't be as popular as they are now without him and Lanning's work to provide the right source material. So yeah his involvement is a pretty big deal.

Yea but it's based on the MCU so chances are the game will suck because of that

Alright, so with Marvel Avengers being on sale at my local game stores, is it worth buying and playing or better to save my money? Brutally honest opinions here please.

Disney has access to Galactus’ movie rights but I doubt he’ll show up. The Avengers’ player-base nosedived spectacularly with all of the micro-transactions. I hope Square Enix learned their lesson but only time will tell.

Well they made clear Guardians is single-player so it’s an improvement at least on that.

Play it for the story.

Combat can be surprisingly deep but as far as I can tell you it never really feels rewarding or pays off.

Admitably Guardians can feel like a downgrade coming off a game that lets you play all the Avengers to a game that only allows you to play as Star-Lord.

I mean it’s not necessarily a deal-breaker and with the dialogue system you have the option to play him less like a moron.

[up][up]I second this, you’re better off finding a Twitch stream playing the game if you don’t want to waste your money. Finding a likeable person is a different story.

For now, Guardians of the Galaxy: the Telltale Series is a great interactive narrative with these characters.

You could always be even cheaper and pick up a comic book.tongue

I say the Avengers game is totally worth it if you can get it for cheap. It has a decent story, multiple characters and a solid fighting system. It's not gold, but far from trash.

And a lot less bugs than it did a year ago. Still ran into half a dozen since I reinstalled during E3, but that's still less than before.

I got Avengers a few months ago but never played it. I might as well give it a shot now seeing it’s it apparently runs well on PS 5 and there’s a lot more content.

Got G looks really fun, a Mass Effect styled action game is pretty much exactly what I wanted.
