I finally caved in and got it. I don't even know what the story is about yet, but I'm really liking the combat stuff than I thought I would. What should I expect?

I heard that the writing, story, and character interactions were good, but that the gameplay was pretty weak.

I thought it was a lot of fun, but didn't have as much replay value as I thought it would. Still, there are some decision points that cause scenes to play out drastically differently so your mileage may vary

Really good time. Great writing. Had a lot of fun with it.

Don't skimp on those teammate powers. You wanna be smart unlocking them and really utilize them in battle. Don't save them for opportune moments since they come back quick enough. Just let 'em fly.

The story and character interaction is great imo. The gameplay is good, but nothing spectacular. Still a great game to play at least once imo. Jefejonny recommended it to me and I am very glad they did I really enjoyed it.

i uninstalled about 3/4 into the game and couldn't force myself to finish.

the gameplay was what dragged it down for me with the levels being way too long for what it offers and the banter/interactions couldn't really keep my interest.

It's overall a great game with a few weird quirks.

I think the best way to put it is if you gave a AAA budget and production values to a PS2 game. I mean that in a good way but it's not gonna work for everyone.

I see most of the criticism is going towards the gameplay. Maybe I'm weird, but I dig it. Once everything is clicking and you got the gang handling everything they need to in a fight, you really feel like a badass.

It gets better as it goes along. Just spamming abilities all the time.

The Huddle Up mechanic feels underbaked though. It's a shame because it's cool but there just never really seems to be an obvious time to really use it. Often it stops far too quick for me.

Honestly Kitt, if youre enjoying the combat this much, then you are probably going to love the game by the time the credits roll. The writing only gets better as the game goes on.

Combat is easily the biggest drawback of the game so youre in for a great time since you like it so much.

That's great to hear. I just got done with the chapter where we escaped from Lady Hellbender. I'm pretty hooked on the story so far.

I'm a bit farther than you (well, a fair bit) and yeah it definitely gets better but I was hooked almost immediately as well. It's a super charming game and I love the combat as well.

It's kind of a weird mix between the MCU and comics because the setting and stuff is clearly based on the comics, but the characterization is more from the movies.

The only reason I dislike the gameplay is that the run and gun aspect gets old fast. Once you use all your teammates abilities and yours, the only thing you can do on the downtime is to shoot your gun that barely does any damage. Sure you have your elemental bullets as well, but that gets old fast as well. If only the game allows you to switch characters on the fly like something in FF7Re, it would've made for a more enjoyable game.

The story, characters, writing, dialogue, the amazing graphics, and settings are more than enough to make up for the game. If you enjoy the gameplay then you're going to enjoy it till the very end. It's the only GotG series that made me really enjoy Drax as a character. His character arc and humor is just spot on, definitely the GOAT of the game.

One pretty annoying complaint I have so far is that the Huddle triggers way too easily. I've accidentally popped it two or three times now.

I'll be super in the zone mid-combat and it'll suddenly trigger. I would be using the elemental shot with R1, then I'll let go and press L1 for the squad action menu and it's like it's still registering R1 being held down, thus activating the Huddle. Maybe it's just my controller, because PS4 controllers are trash.

I'm guessing the huddle issue is caused by your controller. I played the game with an Xbox controller and never accidentally huddled.

I can't stress this enough -- if the combat is the weakest part of the game, then I'm all for it, because I love it. It reminds me of Arkham in the sense that I'm always thinking about the most effective action I want the team to do in any given situation. And that's on top of me multitasking with the stuff Quill should be doing too, like using the right elements and his abilities. It's like a hectic juggling act. I actually look forward to the next combat arenas.

When you perfectly execute commands where Groot hold enemies in place, the Rocket clears them out while sending Gamora to pick off snipers and Drax get the stragglers; shit's euphoric.

I like this version of Drax a lot more too. Like someone mentioned earlier, I like how the game is essentially a mix between the MCU and the comic stuff. It's good stuff. Just got done with the part where we escaped from the cult.

A pet peeve of mine is when game dialogue interrupts other dialogue. GotG does it SOOOOO much. Especially with those sections where you have to choose an answer quickly. It doesn't even like the damn dialogue finish before you have to choose.

Yeah I mentioned that in an earlier post, it is annoying. I started just standing around when characters were talking, but yeah there's times dialogue will start when you're not expecting it and you'll start a new dialogue beat and cancel it out.

I loved it overall. My advice on the combat would be to get Rockets thing that gravity bombs stuff so they stick together and they just spam abilities at that stuff that hits groups. Beyond that no tactics are really needed other than just tell your guys to use their abilities.

Yeah. His 3rd tier ability comes in handy when big enemies start becoming more frequent and his 2nd tier is an amazing crowd damage weapon. I like to use Rockets grenade that brings a bunch of enemies together than hit them with Groots attack.
