Side note! Thanks for showing the ship has missiles I actually didn’t know. Also the tablet on the ship… I didn’t know of neither. Edited Actually, you decided a different branch. In my play-through, Quill had a hole in his bedroom from the alpaca chewing through the ship. Another reason a second play-through is needed. Awesome vid!

6:40 I was doing the final battle and huddled up. never gonna give you up (rickroll) started playing

[@British132.]

Also 19:12 if you hide the biohazard/llama at the start of chapter 2 it makes a hole where you can escape to groot's quarters. Then you can open all of the doors

[@jacklox1234]

I had one of the funniest experiences playing this game: Here I am at the final battle, everyone's down except for me and my huddle is ready. I revive everyone, give the most awesome epic speech ever. As soon as it's over, just before I play the cassette tape, I wonder what awesome theme will go with my teams amazing ass kic- *It was Bobby McFerrin's: Don't worry Be Happy* I have never laughed my ass off harder from being so wrong

[@kaedanconnorproductions8390]

When I got to there what played on the cassette was never gonna give you up by Rick Astor yo got rickrolled while killing Magnus

[@thisoneguy8659]

I had a really fitting moment when taking down Raker, after the huddle was successful the tape played 'holding out for a hero' which I thought was just awesome. And when up against Magus I got 'Tainted love' which was still pretty cool

[@thealgerian3285]

This is the one thing I really don't like about this game that I otherwise really love. Huddle up song is a complete crapshoot, no way to know if you're gonna get an epic song or something that really doesn't fit.

One thing I adored about the game was the 80s style rock album specifically made for the game (Star-Lord: Space Riders) I listen to it constantly and songs like Zero to Hero, Ghost, We’re here, The darkness inside, Watch me Shine and solar Skies are amazing

[@EternalNightingale]

Honestly their album is fire! They’re in my rotation on Spotify and my dad started to like it too

This is really funny bc I think the band are designed to be kinda shitty lol. Like i think I remember the nook he’s reading has them rated at only like 2 stars or something, their lyrics are very goofy and so on. But I love that bc it shows so much abt peters character in my opinion. I love that

[@mullaoslo]

I spent like 20 minutes at the start of the game just listing to the songs, reading the lyrics and checking out the view from the bed..

[@MrHammers]

It's still kind of shocking to me people saying this game is good. Since this game was announced I just assumed it was gonna be some crappy filler game that will sell well just because it's Marvel. It's kind of nice hearing that the developers took the time and effort to make an actual good game and do the source material right in their own way and not just copy the MCU baseline. I'll have to pick this one up! The huddle up thing looks like a lot of fun as well haha

[@GGray27]

absolutely one of the best purchases i’ve made man. shit had me laughing, crying, and falling back in love with the gang despite not being MCU

[@1337-Nathaniel]

It's a great game for fans of Marvel. I loved seeing FFF for instance.

[@DragONheart27X]

It's good, the gameplay is decent but the writing is what delivers. To me they did the GOTG alot of justice and in some cases more than the films did. It also traversed the fine line that upon first play you'd assume it's related to the films but after certain dialogues it's more inspires by the comics.

[@TheFLAMEXD]

@@DragONheart27X Which is a good thing to do. I love the MCU. I'm a huge fan of what they did with their take on Marvel and its mythos, but I'm glad that future adaptations have started to distance themselves from it now. There was a time where every Marvel adaptation took too much inspiration from the MCU to their detriment and it's nice to see these new projects stand out on their own and be distinct. Hell, look at Insomniac's Spider-Man. It's a much different beast compared to the MCU-Spidey or even the comics.

[@Alex-pj8nz]

Yup, no PTSD playing this game.I had fun.

[@macojo2477]

My favorite scene was Peter and Drax talking on knowhere. From THAT point I knew this drax was amazing. I would say that every guardian here (except maybe groot and MAYBE rocket) was better than their movie counter part.

[@futureprism3003]

I personally like mcu rocket more

[@easyJat99]

Personally MCU Groot is better. But tbf they are different versions of Groot. MCU Gamora is also pretty great (game is on par with her imo,) and Rocket didn't seem that different

[@bshaw8175]

i personally perfered these over the mcu drax wasn't a stupid fucking idiot, mantis while weird was more powerful and fun, peter was immature but not a fucking man child, gamor rocket and groot are probably equal but yeah

[@gus9663]

Groot is wayyyy better than his mcu version. Vin Diesel isn't much of a voice actor and it shows in his performance. I recently rewatched it after playing the game and all I heard was Vin Diesel trying to be Groot. The game makes him come to life and gives him more personality. The only character I think is is MAYBE better would be Rocket. But even then, I'd say they are pretty even.

[@gus9663]

@@bshaw8175 I think the game is truly a masterpiece. I rewatched the movies recently after playing the game a second time, and I realized the game is vastly superior. The movies seem like a mega watered down Hollywood story of the Guardians compared to the game. The only character I prefer in the MCU is probably Mantis, but even then the game does a great job with the character, so its fine

[@smuggaming3730]

this game is so unironically amazing, its Avengers if it actually had love and care put into it. I played this for atleast 5 to 6 hours straight.

[@Tyler_W]

I don't blame Crystal Dynamics for Avengers. It feels like they tried to put some care into the story. I just think they got the live-service model forced onto them when that clearly neither their realm of expertise or their desire for their Avengers game.

[@LapidotWAV]

When I played this game the first time I was extremely impressed and when I decided to sell Groot to Lady Hellbender, we landed on the planet and I went into a hidden cave, inside of that cave Rocket asked me to come talk to him and expressed that Groot has been in a cage before and that I couldn't do that to him again and I felt like I was making an incorrect decision and the game was warning me but then honestly the Rocket path is the less victorious path you could take and after repeat playthroughs I'd say is the worse decision of the two but because of that characterization of Rocket and him being nervous for his friend it made the game feel so much more real and I changed my entire plan based off of it. Solid 8/10 game absolutely fantastic and would recommend, My biggest complaint is that I wish they would've gone through with the father aspect of the game because afterwards it left me feeling kinda off about the whole plotline, adoptive stories work but I think they work a lot better as a strangers to loving family member kind of situation but I fully believed he was the father and the game pushed it.

[@mullaoslo]

You feel that way because star lord felt that way... If you played line me he accepts he's a father in the beginning of the game but he NEVER gets an actual confirmation.. He just assumed because he did the math..

[@IRONMan-pk6du]

Man this game means so much to me these last few years have been rough on me and it's just so nice to get a product like this that makes you smile and forget all the terrible stuff going on.

[@BucklingSwashes]

My favorite thing about this game is how it handles choices. There are plenty of big moments where you make a decision with clear implications, but there are also many others that seem small but turn out to be significant, others still that don't appear to be decisions at all, and some that seem like huge decisions that end up just being used as a fun little joke later. You can completely miss the conversation between Star-Lord and Drax on Knowhere. You get a brand new environmental puzzle if you fail to convince Cosmo to reject the Promise. You hear Mantis and the others comment on whether you helped close the fridge door throughout the story. You can give in to your own Promise and experience it for several minutes before the game ends. You can totally bomb Lipless' duet and then kill him a short time later during exploration. You can pay the fine to Nova Corps and actually get to fly off into space successfully at the end. You can MISS catching your tape player on the final mission, fumble around picking it up, and get a fun comment from Rocket. There is just so much here that keeps you constantly engaged and allows your experience to be unique. It's incredibly entertaining to see how altering your decisions, intentionally failing quicktime events or conversations, and even simply keeping your mouth shut when you have a chance to speak up changes the way scenes and the story play out, and it gives you a clear idea of how much passion went into this game. You're absolutely right that you can tell the developers, writers, actors, and everyone else who had a hand in this clearly had a blast making this game.

[@PapaPyrite]

having played Final Fantasy XV before this, the whole mechanic of controlling other members of the party that these 2 games share DEFINITELY got better after they kinda tried it for the first time in FF. And tbh that mechanic is the main reason I played both of these games. FF kinda took a more cinematic approach, cutting the camera over to the member performing their attack, and then allowing you to perform a follow up immediately after. but Guardians allows each member of the team mix and match their abilities in a way that makes them able to be chained together in an effective way.

[@jstarrsounds]

agreed. as a huge fan of VII Remake and XV i definitely felt at home with the combat in this game. the blasters dealing dps while you held R2 also felt like it fit right in with the auto-attacking style of XV, where you've got to hold R2 to stay on the offensive.

[@PapaPyrite]

story worth sharing: played this game on release, it crashed on first start-up so booted it up again and... the game rick rolled me when the title screen showed up.

[@JensenP12]

When I saw Never Gonna Give You Up was on the playlist of the Milano, I thought for sure there would be a trophy involved in Rick Rolling the crew. I was very disappointed

[@juicestains52]

I just came out of this game extremely excited for a sequel. So much about it worked for me and the things that didn’t work can easily be improved upon in the second installment.

[@deathhunter2342]

This was my game of the year last year. While I enjoyed RE this was a game that had me smiling ear to ear the whole game. That scene with Peter saying that was so metal was me the entire game and like RE I would honestly pay for Story dlc for this game because I just want to be with these characters more. God I hope there is a sequel

[@Lonewolf360gaming]

Guardians of the galaxy has heart and passion behind it while avengers is just corporate greed that's incredibly out of touch and disrespectful to the property that it's tied to.

[@WaluigiYoshi44Productions]

This game was my 2021 GOTY. It was the type of game I've been looking for. Its story was amazing it even made me tear up in some places and I can't think of any other game that has done that. Really its the only one released from the year that I was impressed with. The fact it came with no bullshit attached made it even better. Thinking back I bought the deluxe edition at a Best Buy out of spite to my Walmart not having either version the day it released. It was something I don't regret and I was very happy to do so and help support this game. (The fact I gave my money to someplace else other than Walmart is always a nice bonus. But that's just me.)

[@joemomma5164]

I got this game for Christmas and I absolutely adore it. It’s easily GOTY (nothing really came out this year) it has a amazing story, a telltale like choice system that actually works, DMC/ God of war like gameplay, and this is the first game in my entire life that is actually funny. Comedy is to absent from single player games. We usually only get a quip or 2 in your average game. I’m not a completionist however I did platinum this game. Which only makes it my 3rd platinum joining both Spider-Man ps4 game. When handled right the marvel license can an infinite supply of content for game developers. As long as it is treated with care unlike the avengers Also beating Adam warlock with never gonna give you up playing is the highlight of gaming as a whole

[@truetape666]

Guardians of the Yalaxy

[@jayshine2742]

God of War like gameplay? I hope u were joking the gameplay was the worse part its a decent game overall but gameplay was lacking imo it was nothing but the same melee combos or shooting guns that seem like paint ball guns with no fire power shooting enemies felt like u are shooting cookies at them but I think the story was decent and the 1080p resolution for performance mode was a joke for next gen smh no way you think this is game of the year im guessing u don't have a PS5 because its much better games than this game

[@MrSupersmash93]

I can see a X-men game in the same vein as guardian of the gaxaly. Wolverine as a attacker, colossus as a tank, Storm as an arena attacker.

[@CoffeePotGames]

Your rant on microtransactions and open worlds at the end of the video really resonated with me ngl. I'm completely sick of all those types of games and I'm so happy Guardians turned out to be just as great as Spider-Man and Miles Morales

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

Miles Morales is the weakest of the three ngl, the story felt like a cheap ripoff of Spider-Man's story

[@jingledell1]

I would say Mantis is more distracted than dumb. Being able to past, present, and future in so many realities at once would no doubt be difficult for anyone to keep track of.

Ya i loved this game and i am so glad i gave it a chance. I remember seeing the announcement trailer. It was like "you are star lord" and i was like "no I'm not, I'm not playing this game" and now i am in love with it. I adore the character work and the way we feel like family in the end just laughing and enjoying eachothers company. The way the guardians will just do the things you used to tell them to do. Such a great game

[@rekyrro9669]

This game was AMAZING The soundtrack, the gameplay, the characters

[@maldon3659]

I finished the game today and I loved it! I really want a sequel now, there's so much they can do like how about a boss fight with the Shi'ar imperial guard? Or how about having Mantis and Nikki on the team? And there's all the other characters they teased/referenced in this game like Nova, Moon Dragon, Jack Flag, Quasar and Yondu, another group that could appear are The Starjammers who are very similar to The Guardians in that they are led by a human (Chris Summers/Corsair AKA Cyclop's dad), they came together after escaping from a space prison, they also have Ch'od and his friend Cr'eee, who are basically the reverse of Rocket and Groot in that Ch'od is a huge reptile alien, who is the only one that understands Cr'eee, a little furry alien creature

[@scottnisbet6455]

[@RavixAryss]

100% agree, this game is fantastic, and really made me appreciate the guardians themselves a lot more than I did from the MCU so far. Especially Drax, they made me think of him as way more than just a comic relief character. Also god I really want this version of Mantis in the MCU.

[@mastershifu2955]

I kinda of agreed to what you said about Rocket's fear of water, but if you get the collectables you can learn way more about him and the other guardians. For example I got this collectable for Groot and we had conversation with Mantis translating what Groot was saying and I learnt that Groot was a Prince just like Peter which was really cool.

Kudos to the devs for keeping their ambitions in check. If they aimed too high and tried to make all the characters playable, this game might have come out half baked. Just look at Cyberpunk, too much ambition can be more than someone can chew... Always aim for what you can achieve within your timeline and resources.

[@DragONheart27X]

I hope we get a sequel, now that Eidos is free from Square I wonder if it's still possible but I love what they set up here. The expanded team with Warlock, Mantis and Nikki. Then they also referenced Moondragon I wanna see them bridge that connection that SHE is Drax's daughter. Then of course The Collector, maybe explore Kree next time.

Hating on the MCU is not popular. Hating on the bad decisions and terrible MCU product post Endgame is popular and very much warranted. This is one of the most pleasant surprise gaming experiences I’ve ever had. What a great game and you showed stuff I didn’t even see like using singing to get the llama to free you. The combat is really repetitive and I found myself getting slightly bored with it but the story and characters are just so good that it trumps any other nitpick you might have.

[@jimharrison2513]

This game is amazing. I actually feel bad that I got it 50% off on Amazon. If you chose to hide the llama it will chew a hole in Peter's room and that is how you will get out instead of singing. Also at the beginning where Rocket makes fun of you for going down a dead end, before that he was asking Peter a question but stop because I wasn't behind him. And he asked where Peter went and if he got lost lol. So I wonder if he would continue to ask the question if I was behind him.

I keep on hearing this Game is made to be Square Enix's *APOLOGHY* for Avenger's when it's not, both games were produced at around exactly the same time. I just think that when both games were in their Pre-Production stages Square Enix decided that for one AAA Marvel game to be completely singleplayer driven experience the other would have to be "a heavily & aggressively monetized live service" to keep Corporate investors from pulling the plug on having a single gaming studio to make multiple AAA Marvel Superhero games at once since these days the mere act of sinking soo much of the Corporate Investor's own money into creating multiple AAA Budget Singleplayer games at once *WITHOUT ANY STRINGS ATTACHED & OR DOESN'T COME WITH A CATCH* would absolutely scare away most Corporate Investors from even attempting it & Marvel's Avengers ended up loosing the coin toss.. 😒

I never even thought about this until you mentioned it, but if you exclude fighting games like Injustice 1 and 2 and MvC3 and Infinite, we haven't had a great linear superhero game since 2009/2010 with Batman: Arkham Asylum (semi-open but mostly linear, more games like that please), X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition (the true version of that story as far as I'm concerned), and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. There were probably a couple others that out no later than 2011, but those 3 are the last of the great linear superhero games. It's been a long time, at least a decade. I enjoy a well-made open world game (as opposed to the hollow Ubisoft approach that's been standardized across too many open world games), especially a well-made open world superhero game like Spider-Man PS4, but we need to see more linear games come back. Honestly, this game could have been a great open world. Eidos Montreal previously made Deus Ex: Mankind Divided which had one of the best open worlds of any game last generation. It was sizable, but not excessive. There was something worth seeing, hearing or doing around nearly every corner which made the world feel absolutely alive and intimate, and it had meaningful side quests that actually impacted things rather than a bunch of never-ending, redundant, empty calorie filler activities to check off a list just to pad the time people spend playing. (I hope Eidos expands so one team can finally round out their Deus Ex trilogy after that big cliffhanger in Mankind Divided.) Since Eidos Montreal made the game (Crystal Dynamics made Avengers), I figured it would probably be decent, but I guess I should've expected Mankind Divided levels of quality. Need to play this soon, I suppose, because everything about it sounds pretty great.

Wow i did not know you can follow gamora and ruin her taking the arm. That is some great details I guess I gotta replay this game sooner than I thought

Mantis is definitely dorky and goofy in the MCU too. Maybe that characterization happened more in some of the later movies that you didn't watch or something though, I don't remember exactly but I feel like maybe that side of her got more play in some of the later films.

Damn brother i remember when you were always streaming and playing borderlands 2 shit we always knew you were going to end up getting big and you’re well on your way keep up the great work man

[@KaizerSozaye]

This game is so underrated! How do you drop the ball with the freakin Avengers but then Score the game winning touchdown with the Guardians of the galaxy? 🤷🏿‍♂️

This is one of my favourite video from you

I knew that this game would be good at its reveal. It felt special watching it unfold and the wait for it killed me. I love this game so much and i can't wait for a sequel

I played GOTG first. I loved it so much that I played it again as soon as the credits stopped rolling on my first play-through. I then, and I'm currently playing Avengers. They are two different genres. And both may not appeal to all players. Avengers is an online game where you can team up to do missions and is pretty much the cookie-cutter grind to level and figure out the best gear to get through raids, etc. And I can respect that. Especially since they don't force you to team up with someone with the exception of raids and a couple of missions. I thought that the storyline was good for this type of game, this is normally barely touched on with teamup-type games. And you can reach what is considered end game without ever having to pair up with someone else. GOTG is a single-player game. It has a great storyline. The choices for leveling up is fairly limited. It mostly depends on what you want to level up first but you will eventually have everything that is offered before the end of the game. The only option, as with most games like this, is once it's over, it's over. You have a game plus option but that's it. I'm not faulting the game for this as it's still a very solid purchase and fans of GOTG will not be disappointed. But other than both games being in the Marvel universe I believe they're two separate experiences and I'm happy that they are. I don't believe that Avengers could have been made in the same mold as GOTG and vice versa. I believe that Square has done a great job with both. As for microtransactions, I ignore them. I'm too busy zipping around the screen killing things to notice what my character is wearing. And since I don't team up with others I would have nobody to show off the purchase of any item anyway. And if I did they'd be too busy worrying about doing their job to notice what I'm wearing. But I should mention that those transactions keep the online portion operating and brings in new content. So the life of Avengers can be somewhat fresh even though new areas may just be like an old area with a fresh paint job.

Near the end of the game during a hard fight I did a huddle and had a very satisfying fight to we’re not gonna take it

[@Scarecr0wn]

Shessh now I need to replay this game. I absolutely loved this, one of those games where you have a blast from start to end, no grey spots, I loved every minute. Really sad it´s another of those games that while there is infinite room for sequel, it probably won´t get one. Don´t get me wrong, the fact Eidos is now working on new Deus Ex is filling me with sheer joy. But I´d love to have GoTG 2 as well.

I'm glad that games are adding dmca free music in games or a setting to turn it off

[@mathisntmybestsubject8440]

I one hundred percent agree that this is how the Avengers game should have been. I got the Avengers game first, thinking it would be like what GotG turned out to be, and when it wasn't, I was put off from even wanting to get GotG. I got the Guardians game a little over a week ago and love it to death!

19:15 - WHATTTT!!! I NEVER DID THAT!!!! I LOVE THIS GAME

[@joshuaphiliphinrichs8025]

Holy shit, you keep going with all these different choices that actually effect gameplay and showcase different scenarios and it’s blowing my mind

[@ShaneJoshua1980]

This is the uncharted of superhero games.
