Guardians of the Galaxy is a series from Marvel Animation. It was originally released on. Unfortunately, Guardians of the Galaxys combat feels simplistic when compared to that of Batman The Telltale Series. In that game, you. Marvel`S Guardians Of The Galaxy Episode 24' title='Marvel`S Guardians Of The Galaxy Episode 24' />Everything is too dark. The backgrounds are sometime far brighter than the characters. Or its all one bland tone. I cant watch it. I dont know what Im supposed to be looking at. Just from listening to the show it sounds awesome. I wish I could see it. Back in 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy was a littleknown Marvel property so littleknown, in fact, that there was wide speculation that it could be the MCUs. When the Guardians discover that the Cosmic Seed is back on Earth, Quill must return to his hometown and team up with an old nemesis to find the Seed before Korath. The Marvel Cinematic Universes penchant for relentlessly teasing future films has already taught moviegoing audiences to keep their butts in their theater seats. I appreciate the chances they took on making a darker cartoon but this is madness. Its a funny thing to complain about as one would usually complain that cartoons are too bright and look unrealistic. This pushes the limit on use of shade and shadow. Great cameo appearances. Decent stories. Good designs. Set to the allnew sonic backdrop of Awesome Mixtape 2, Marvel Studios Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. A total waste since you cant make the characters out. If this was a movie, you would fire the lighting guys. Like watching a dead monitor. I hope someone remasters it and punches up the lighting and contrast. Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy A Telltale Series for PC Review Rating. Telltale Games character driven brand of interactive storytelling has long been linked to licenses from DC and Image Comics, but with Guardians of the Galaxy A Telltale Series, the publisher takes its first crack at one of Marvels hottest properties. Leaning heavily on James Gunns cinematic take on the crew, Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy A Telltale Series features the music, comedic teammate bickering, and space faring adventure youd expect from the title, but this PC game suffers from stiff animation and unchallenging puzzles that prevent it from reaching the heights of Tell. Tale Games biggest successes. The first episode in the 2. Moonage Daydream. While its not the companys best, thats not to say that Guardians of the Galaxy is a bad game. The point and click adventure has merit, especially in the way it upends story expectations. Digging into any Telltale Games story runs the risk of entering spoiler territory, so Ill say just this The crew chases an incredibly powerful Mc. Guffin, encounters Thanos the Mad Titan, and. What occurs is a genuine surprise, and one that sets the tone for the rest of the game. The remainder of the opening arc is a straightforward affair, as it deals with the aftermath of the teams success. Telltale Games branching dialogue and options task you, Star Lords conscience, with keeping the band together and plotting its future. Theres a lot of good character stuff at play involving Star Lord, Drax, Gamora, Groot, and Rocket that both sheds light on the teams motivations and serves as interesting hooks between the action beats. The tight script highlights the various film based personalities Star Lord is the cocky leader, Gamora is the hardened warrior, Drax is the brash blockhead, and Rocket and Groot have their chummy Han and Chewie like interactions. If you dug the movie, youll dig the games characters. Behind it all is Telltale Games excellent memory system, which causes characters to remember your actions and the intensity of your dialogue choices. This shapes how the game unfolds to some degree, as well as how other characters react to you in the future. For example, theres an important scene roughly midway through the story where you must decide to walk the heros path by working with the Nova Corps Marvels space cops or remain on the scoundrels route, throwing your lot in with an intergalactic hustler. In many peoples eyes, the Marvel Cinematic Universes Guardians of the Galaxy is the definitive version of team, so it should come as no surprise that this game, though it isnt tied into the movies, contains elements of the James Gunn team. Star Lord dances his way through scenes, and classic rock music is sprinkled throughout the adventure to highlight character building moments. In fact, the opening chapter,. The game feels very much like the Marvel Cinematic Universes take on the team, despite different voices and more comic accurate character designs. Black Tears. Unfortunately, Guardians of the Galaxys combat feels simplistic when compared to that of Batman The Telltale Series. In that game, you leverage Bruce Waynes strategic mind to plot how you want to take down villains. Do you rush in with fists flying Do you utilize objects in the environments Do you sneak through ventilation shafts I wish Guardians of the Galaxy featured a similar, brand specific combat system that would make its Quick Time Events QTE more than mere button presses. The games combat is much like the fighting in other Telltale Games titles, which is unfortunate. How cool would it have been to bust out character specific, team up moves Worse, Guardian of the Galaxys fighting lacks drama, even when youre facing off against a universal threat. Telltale Games Fables based title, The Wolf Among Us, also used straightforward QTE combat sequences, but they were bolstered by the fact that the lead character, Bigby, disliked violence because there was a risk that hed transform into a bloodthirsty wolf. Sadly, the ho hum combat isnt the games lone issue. Though the story is interesting, it lacks the weightier drama found in Batman The Telltale Series and The Wolf Among Us. Part of this is the nature of the property Guardians of the Galaxy is a comedy, after all. I suspect that its also due to the story itself, which feels rushed in places. On top of that, Guardians of the Galaxys puzzles dont require much thought. Theyre so simple that I wish Telltale Games had ditched them in favor of more action oriented challenges. And the stiff animations that I complained about in Batman A Telltale Series show up, too. In fact, theyre worse here. The limited animation makes certain characters, particularly Rocket, resemble animatronic constructs. Minimum Requirements and Options. Guardians of the Galaxy isnt a demanding title, but your gaming desktop or gaming laptop still needs decent specs. Acolytes Full Movie In English. Telltale Games states that your computer must have at least a 2. GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, an Nvidia GTS 4. GPU with 1. GB of VRAM, 3. GB of system RAM, and the Window 7 operating system. As with the vast majority of PC games, Guardians of the Galaxy auto detects your rigs hardware and scales the settings to meet your machines configuration. That said, you can manually tweak ambient occlusion, depth of field, bokeh, render quality, texture quality, and anti aliasing. I pumped all the settings to their highest possible options, and I was happy to see my Nvidia Ge. Force GTX 9. 70 powered machine running the game at near 6. Being a Steam game, Guardians of the Galaxy supports Steam Cloud Saves, as well as Steam Achievements and Steam Trading Cards. Not Quite Hooked On a Feeling. Future Guardians of the Galaxy releases will likely suffer from the same graphics issues as this first episode, unless a visual overhaul takes place. That isnt very likely. Telltales graphics engine appears quite limited in scope. Still, Im looking forward to seeing how my decisions play out in upcoming chapters, as Guardians of the Galaxy has a solid core. The point and click adventure game is worth playing if you dig James Gunns take on the interstellar team or Telltale Games trademark storytelling.
