Guardians of the galaxy played: Is not there any movies?

Regarding Time is a 2013 British enchanting comedy-drama film created and also routed by Richard Curtis, as well as starring Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, and also Bill Nighy. The film has to do with a boy with the capacity to time travel who attempts to alter his past in hopes of improving his future. The film was launched in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2013. The film got favorable testimonials from movie critics. At package workplace, it earned $87.1 million versus a $12 million spending plan.

When the Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014 met with Marvel Studios Cinematic Universe, the few cinema showers had probably prior knowledge about who are Star Lord, Gamora or Drax the Destroyer. And even if the Guardians exist in the comics for several decades in a variety of forms, the film had so many new creative elements that probably even dull fans of the characters had the feeling of seeing something completely independent.

Where the background stories of Gamora, Drax and Rocket are largely identical to their comic templates, origin and family were modified by the main character Star-Lord / Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) for the film to make this a stronger emotional core and in Quills to give a leitmotif to the music of the 70s and early 1980s.

Although the video game conversion from Eidos Montreal does not have the original actors from the films or over their appearance, but otherwise many elements that were made popular by the cinema version of author and director James Gunn. Be it Peter Quills love to music, drax lack of understanding for metaphors and language images, or the name of Quills Spaceship, which is derived from 80s children s star Alyssa Milano (who is here the Boss, Phantom Commando) is: Eidos Guardians Unrestressable to the Marvel Studios interpretation and serves properly with their tone and style. But rich word witz, curios and classic rock songs to land a similar surprise hit?

Everything at the old?

We were allowed to take the controller for the first time with a preview event and try out the fifth chapters of the game. This starts in the Cockpit of the Milano, where Guardians have a discussion about whether they should use a recently captured sum of money to pay a punishment imposed by the Nova Corps and thus have a problem less on the neck. While Rocket believes that the purchase of new parts for the repair of the ship should be prioritized, Star-Lord argues to settle the debts instead. The tensions between the two heroes are still more frequent during the chapter, but for the time being Peter Quill can convince his friend and mechanic from his point of view.

Then we can explore the Milano on your own. Each main character has its own room in which we can interact with different objects and so can start dialogues with the team members. This recalls a bit of the conversations in the mass effect series, unlike the adventures around Commander Shepard, as a star lord, we do not really have a way to influence the course of the talks. We only learn more about the figures, their origin and motivation. Guardians of the galaxy played: Is not there any movies?

But right more.

Excursion to the police planet

In the course of the game, in addition to the Guardians, other figures for the crew of the Milano should also be dazed, with which we can entertain ourselves between the missions. In addition, we can use the workbench where new combat tactics are released with resources, and press the music box. On this is a selection of rock songs of the late 70s and the 80s, including hits by Joan Jett, Kiss, Iron Maiden, Rick Astley and New Kids on the Block.

Have we made our preparations and talked to our comrades, we start the landing approach to the Nova Corps base. Once there, the Guardians immediately realize that something can not correct: the complete base is like blank and Peters contact Ko-Relisn.

The mission consists of two parts together. In the first half we strip through the abandoned base and search for clues that could happen there. With R3, we highlight in a view that highlights objects that can be interacted with. If we come across a locked door, we can ask Rocket to open them. Sometimes we have to redirect energy or find an opening mechanism. While exploring the area, the Guardians also discuss with each other. In some places we can then mix at the push of a button in the conversation and give a comment to the said. In the demo, this had no direct influence on the events, but at most led to slightly different answers of the participating team members. If you search all rooms thoroughly, you will find a residued prisoner in the station, which will be released on request and then later encountered in the game.

In a command center, the Guardians finally find a helmet connected to the Nova Corps communication network. Star Lord can either speak in the device and call a patrol to finally learn why nobody else seems to be on the station, or the situation mistrust and leave the helmet where he is.

However, the decision does not have far-reaching consequences for history. As well as all other, small decisions that we met in the course of the level. So or so we have to fall into the fight.

Controlled chaos

There we have several possibilities available to turn off our opponents. Let s hold the right shoulder button. Star-Lord fires his pistols, on the other hand, an elepaneous commotion, which triggers a status effect, in our case frost. With L2 we can target a particular opponent, with the circle key / B dodge and run a melee attack with quadreck / x. Since the target recording is essential to meet opponents, it annoys that these can not only be canceled by matches of opponents, but also by their own evasive maneuvers. Suddenly to have an enemy to have in the sights and to the emptiness to shoot, one goes after a few fights on the biscuit.

With Star-Lords attacks most opponents can still be easily switched off quite easily, but for armored enemies, we have to put on the help of the rest of the Guardians. We control these with pressure on L1 via a wheel, with which we first select our team member and then the desired attack. If these were executed, we have to wait a cooldown before the comrade is ready to attack.

Different attacks have different effects. Some bring, for example, opponents to stumble, others hold them in place. Often, such opponents can then be switched off quickly with a tapped button prompt.

Recovered experience then flows into the reinforcement of the individual attacks. Since all Guardians dine from the same pool in experience points, so you should distribute them halfway fairly to run strong combos quickly in succession.

Each Guardian can perform the same types of attacks and thus trigger the same effects at opponents. However, a certain type of damage is always stronger than the other Guardians. The developers revealed to us that it may still be advisable due to multiplier effects, even with Guardians who are not specialized in the desired type of damage to invest a point to amplify any combos. Guardians of the galaxy played: Is not there any movies? (4) Source: Square Enix During the fight also a bar crowded. Is this to maximum, we can make with L1 and R1 a huddle. The Guardians so be shoulder to shoulder beside each other on and discuss how the football their more tactical approach. Here it is important as a star Lord to respond quickly and appropriately to the concerns of the comrades. The various problems and answers are inspired by rock and pop songs and have to be selected in each case that they match. Creates resolve it Star-Lord who have doubts about the rest of Guardians, the entire squad will receive a bonus and the decay time of the attacks will be. however, one does not go right to the complaints, only Star-Lord receives a bonus. Knocked Guardians be cured by a huddle either way again. After Huddle Star-Lord plays a random song from the Playlist of its Walkman, which will run for the duration of the amplification effect.

In the shadow of the great idol

On a purely mechanical level, this system works pretty well. It s fun to combine the various attacks to each other and also when control and UI initially a bit cluttered look, we beat us after a short time quite well in the fighting. Many areas, however, are pretty tight and additionally delivered with objects that block the view of opponents. Combined with the unreliable lock-on system led the often chaotic moments, in a negative sense.

The Huddle function approach is a great idea, but this also has a major weakness is the game much to the fore: the dialogues between the Guardians are partially arg childish and let the team often act as a group turned up teenager, and not like veterans of space piracy. The fact that the huddle plays a random song, means that a song is being frequently inappropriate and sometimes even annoying. As much as you like Bonnie Tyler s power ballad Holding Out For A Hero also suffer if a section of it suddenly runs at full volume from any fight, motivated not abruptly to new heights, but distracts from the actual event. Guardians of the galaxy played: Is not there any movies? (5) Source: Square Enix general it can be said that the music was built with much less sensitivity in the game, as it is in the movies the case. The choice seems arbitrary to some. Nevertheless, one must studio Eidos Montreal in at least one thing a diligence star on the chest staple: For the band Star-Lord, whose name Peter Quill has claimed in this version by itself, an album was composed, which relies on heavy metal and glam rock which, although not always fit, but at least ensures songs pop for a bit of variety among the many well-known classic rock and.

That is not tonal reaches the genius with which director James Gunn switch between poignant and comic scenes in his films and herspringt had to accept in advance, the bottom line but that s manageable. After all, you realize that the writing team has at least tried to capture the same balance of honest drama and silliness that makes the theater interpretation of the figures so charming. The English narrators deliver across the board from a good job, especially rocket and Drax benefit from their distinctive voices. Only Star-Lord works with his dumpfbackigen nature and his often arrogant demeanor like a real Unsympath.

Perhaps this will have to change the course of action, but so far the leader of the Guardians looks more like a narcissistic college Bro, who thinks he s the funniest types in the world, because as the likeable playboy and bully, the Chris Pratt in the movies embodies. The emotional distance to the main character has at least taken care of for us to make us then no laughter could wrest many snippy of Star-Lord or baffled comments. That is an extremely subjective assessment here, but everyone should be clear. Perhaps the child s head during prolonged gaming session grows us also still my heart. In just under three hours, we were able to spend with the game, but he was the clear weak point in the ensemble.

Guardians of the Galaxy will be released on October 26, 2021 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, as a cloud version for the Nintendo Switch.

My opinion

Christian Fussy editor christian.fussy@computec.de

The heart in the right spot

Eidos Montreal clearly had the right ambitions in the development of Guardians of the Galaxy. The ideas behind the combat and level system adapt excellently to the collaborative spirit of the template, and that high effort has been put into the look and sound of the game is obvious. This does not work so completely consistently, but that is probably due to the extremely obvious comparison with the Marvel films of James Gunn. These give the direction in terms of music enthusiasts, dialogues and humor, but outstanding the game with these elements qualitatively about a good deal. Nevertheless, after my first hands-on session, I m looking forward to the adventure with the game. The starting situation of history acts extremely promising, and even if I have not really warmed with this version of Star Lord, I do not have the need to shoot him outpiece to the moon.
