Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Review - It's Flarking Good | MP1st

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Review - It's Flarking Good: Eidos-Montreal's single-player driven Marvel game just might be the surprise hit of the year.

[Luc20]

My copy arrived a few days early and I agree it's a good game. The quality mode needs to be improved as the frame rate isn't good but the performance mode is fine.

[LordoftheCritics]

Buying it.

If Skill Up says its good, its GOOD.

But honestly I knew it was gonna be good since the last few trailers. Im glad its getting good reviews eveywhere,

[victorMaje]

I wasn’t planning on getting it, but I trust Skill Up & he strongly recommends it so I’m giving it a chance, let’s hope it’s good.

[Flewid638]

Looks smooth as butter on PC & next gen consoles with that 60fps.

[XbladeTeddy]

Looks good, glad they included DLSS with ray tracing, means my 3060Ti should be enough to run ray tracing in all its glory. Will wait on benchmarks though.

[XbladeTeddy]

What's with the downvotes? It's the truth my card with need DLSS to run ray tracing, it's not as powerful as a 3070 or 3080 like the official specs recommend for quality RT.

[Nitrowolf2]

I’m not even sure I own the same card just because it was available

[Andrew336]

Probably jealous people who don't have a 30 series card.

[XbladeTeddy]

lol, they shouldn't be jealous as I had to pay £600 for it from an online store, a 100% markup on the RRP almost. And for £600 it's not a good deal for this but it's the times we live in for now.

[XbladeTeddy]

@Darth Marvin: I don't play at 4k I play at 1440p, this is a 1440p card. Anyway, the point is ray tracing without DLSS is hard work for any card so i was happy they included DLSS. I could improve performance by turning off RT and other settings but I was showing I was happy I could possibly play it with every setting maxed out thanks to DLSS being included.

[Kurt Russell]

3060ti for me as well. And you're correct, I haven't played a game with RTX that hasn't required DLSS.

[XbladeTeddy]

@Kurt: Far Cry had ray tracing without DLSS and it showed. They limited it to low quality and minor implementation. Must have been a concession they had to make because the game was sponsored by AMD.

[BLAKHOODe]

You can only play as Star-Lord, tho.. that would lower the score big-time for me. And no co-op. The rest of the Guardians are just there for support.

[porkChop]

They've already explained why you only play as Star-Lord.

[LordoftheCritics]

So Uncharted, God Of War, and many other games need their score lowered as well.

The game is built around this, one lead and companions. Mass Effect style.
Same reason why we play as Master Chief and not Cortana.

Nothing to hate here.

[FernDiggidy]

hmm...I dunno. I'm not sold on the combat

[badz149]

aside from the jetboots, Starlord movements are like Lara Croft

[bangoskank]

Love when the underdog does well. Pre-ordered on PC because it looked promising. Looking forward to playing.

[badz149]

Eidos and Square Enix are hardly what you can call as "the underdog"

[ShadowWolf712]

Man this game was releasing with the deck stacked against it, and the public projecting their dislike for the Avengers game onto it. It IS a bit of an underdog.

[bangoskank]

Exactly what shadowwolf said. That game is still getting hate because people cannot accept when they're wrong.

[bangoskank]

Why do so many people care about only being able to play as Starlord? Did Mass Effect give us the ability to play as anyone else besides Shepherd?

[badz149]

I think maybe because in ME, it's a RPG and the other characters are secondary like Kingdom Hearts but this is TGOTG, all of those characters are like main characters on their own. I think it's not unreasonable to be expecting to play as the other Guardians using their unique abilities and playstyle. I mean...not even mini sections allowing you to play the other Guardians is a huge HUGE letdown IMO.

[neutralgamer1992]

Now it hurts even more to know square could have done justice to marvel game but going for gaas instead of single player game really hurt that game

Marvel ultimate alliance games were so much fun and it sucks that those are no longer available

[ApocalypseShadow]

Lol. What I find funny was earlier, I was getting some disagrees in another article for saying the 30 minutes of gameplay looked "interesting." And the game turns around and is getting good reviews so far.

Yes. It's not the movie characters or voices. If it was a cartoon or moving comic, it would still not be the actors. Look at it as a different earth like the comics when watching cartoons or moving comics like I do. It looks like it controls well and might be a good game. Even the graphics are acceptable.

Keep your mind open and you might be surprised at a decent game in your face naysayers. Insomniac is not the only one that can make a decent game. Give 3RD parties a chance too.

[ShadowWolf712]

I really wish people would make up their minds whether they want the movies in things or not. Always a weird complaint.

Especially when some of said stuff is actually from the comics and was just present in the movies too.

[darkrider]

Now this is a surprise

[Exvalos]

I been saying the game looked good from the first reveal trailer, but so many people doubted me saying the game is trash. Look now look at these scores.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Yeah I don't understand the hate for this. I'm not into Sucker Punch or Insomniac third person action games but this game has definitely caught my attention. This seems to go hand in hand with those others. Maybe my tastes are simply in opposition to the public, lol.

[repsahj]

...just waiting for my copy, cant wait to play it.

[outsider1624]

Whoa! I didn't expect this score. Good Job.
