the customizable difficulty settings should take care of that issue.
"Custom – I do it my way
Sub-categories of difficulty settings
· Guardians Mode Slowdown – Slider. This value represents how much time is slowed down when you are in Guardians mode. The higher the value, the greater the slow down. 1 represents a complete pause, while 0 is no slow down at all.
· Damage Dealt – Very Low to Very High. The higher this setting, the more damage Star-Lord deals to enemies.
· Guardians Cooldown Duration – Slider. This multiplier affects the cooldown on each Guardian's abilities. Increasing this value will give more weight to your decisions and demand more planning on your part.
· Huddle Auto-Win – On/Off. If this setting is turned on, you will not be presented with a choice wheel during the Huddle sequences, and the correct answer will be automatically selected.
· Cost of Elemental Shots – Slider. This multiplier affects how much Elemental Ammo an Elemental Shot costs. Increasing this value will make your Elemental Shots more valuable and require more planning on your part.
· Damage Received – Very Low to Very High. The higher this setting, the more damage Star-Lord and the Guardians receive from enemies.
· Shield Regeneration – Very Low to Very High. This setting determines how long after taking damage Star-Lord's shield will begin to regenerate, as well as the rate of regeneration, and the extent of damage taken, while the shield is depleted.
· Death Event Timer – Easy to Hardcore. The amount of time an ally is in danger before they become overwhelmed.
· Vulnerability Timer – Slider. The length of time that an enemy retains the vulnerabilities applied by abilities.
· Death Gate – Very Easy to Very Hard. The number of times a player needs to be hit before dying after reaching 0 HP, as well as the length of time a player is in danger before they recover."
I wonder what difficulty setting Eurogamer was playing on and if they were expecting Star-lord to quickly brute force through the enemies all by himself. You can take down enemies relatively quickly if you utilize your teammate attacks and build up a damage multiplier.
Gamespot has a good vid going over tips and tricks for the combat and enemy weakness that the game doesn't really explain well

Our podcast was fortunate enough to get a code and I've been playing for a few hours. Strangely enough, this feels a lot like a big budget Telltale game to me. You're constantly in conversation with tons of unique dialogue for the situation, much of it is reactive, you have dialogue choices that impact your relationships with other characters. Combat and traversal feel like they're there only as a connective tissue for the conversations. I'm digging it!
From what I'm hearing, the story and characters in this game are phenomenally done where the only thing holding it back is the rather simplistic combat.
I don't think the simple gameplay is gonna affect my enjoyment of the game; I'm still hyped to play this tomorrow. lol

Any performance info available for PS5 vs Series X? Contemplating PS5 since that's where I've got Avengers and Spidey, but Series X is frequently pulling ahead on frames and resolution these days.
Alternatively if these can't do 1440p @ 60fps, I'll probably go PC.

Because being alt-right and having ties to gamergate isn't a reason enough?
Wow, that's actually kind of incredible to see so many difficulty option modifiers that are not the typical enemies have more health and aim bot. I would love more games to include stuff like that for replayability, or you could just mess with all kinds of different combos for a challenge.
Wasn't in the OP, but RPGFan's review is here up! Helix

Everything time I see footage of the game it reminds me of old school PS2 action adventure games. Something I'd rent from Blockbuster as a kid and have a solid weekend with
Just hearing "some people at resetera said" doesn't mean anything by itself. I've watched a lot of his reviews and in them alone I've never heard him say anything that would imply this. Which is why I was so surprised by the ban on his content.
If you could pm me a link to something that shows what you're taking about, that'd be great.
spoiler tagging this as to try to not derail this thread any further, but a lot of the videos on laymen gaming which is his second channel had shit like "sjw" & "triggered" in their titles & thumbnails & were misogynistic etc. around 2017 & 2018. not sure if that carried over into 2019 & onwards, but i personally don't trust ppl who even tried to appeal to gamergators & bigots in general just once & never did it again. & they did it repeatedly so yeah, he's imo rightfully banned even if that shit seemingly never seeped into the content of his main channel.
I guess I'll look those up, just having that in the titles doesn't mean it's automatically sincere and not done in a satirical or mocking way.
Girlfriend Reviews complimented his LOU2 review and they're always excellent.

So aside from the technical issues it sounds like a decent to good game. Happy to see it reviewed well.
Yeah, I've loved that about the environments and the ships in all the 4K footage so far. The vibrant look is a really nice touch.
Really torn about what version to get between Series X or PS5. Series X version has Dolby Vision and Atmos and PS5 has adaptive triggers and my other Marvel games are on there.
Ohhh, didn't know it supports Dolby Atmos and Vision too. I just picked up an LG C1 so Xbox version it is then for me 👀
Solid reviews, glad the game is being received well. Shame that I was gonna pick this up today, but I'm neck-deep into my Endwalker catch-up. I don't expect I'll be playing anything other than FFXIV for these few months, lol. Once the phase is over I'll definitely pick it up though.
Skill Up ran a far right channel with his brother called Laymen Gaming.
yessir! It's on their list of games that are supported.

Here's my in-depth review in Spanish (8/10): https://www.pcmrace.com/2021/10/25/marvels-guardians-of-the-galaxy-review/
It has many 4K screenshots and videos at max settings and ray tracing with 100% sharpening. Also has a DLSS comparison.

Huh, I wonder if I could be into this. I liked the idea of GOTG but didn't enjoy the cast (as in the actors) very much and something about Gunn's humor didn't really land for me, if this is sort of the same thing but with a slightly different flavor I might enjoy this.
As unlikely as it is, any of the reviews written by someone who's explicitly not that into the MCU and/or GOTG movies?

Why are they cheap just because they said they weren't excited by what they're reading and would rather wait to see if it hits GamePass?
I'm so torn. I'm really glad to see it got good reviews. Truly happy about that. But a lot of reviews are saying that it's both long AND repetitive. I don't mind long, but if it's the exact same gameplay the whole time, I get extremely bored with stuff like that. If it's just shooting/combat, I would find that pretty boring.
Difference between banter in a team and speaking to yourself constantly.
I believe this game also had complaints of characters and Star-lord talking too much when they showed the first gameplay reveal. But in the final game, the banter and constant conversations with the Guardians as the story progresses throughout each chapter are really good, well written, and fits the tone of this IP. Almost as if some things are just difficult to demo and people making off-base judgement on short snippets.
Are you seriously trying to compare games with a somewhat serious story and a campy game like GOTG?
Characters talking too much and saying pretty much nothing are way more annoying in games when you are supposed to take the story seriously, it's the same issue Wolfenstein 2 had when Blazko couldn't shut up the whole game.
Also GOTG is a game with a party having the main character muted makes no sense while the games you listed are solo adventures.
