I'm still not feeling this game, at all.
Reviews would have to be incredibly raving for me to buy this ngl

Feels like Tales of Arise in a sense. Minus being able to directly control another character.

I was scrolling through the first video and accidentally landed on 4:45 which showed me a squeeze-through. Why do I hate squeeze-throughs so much?

It's kinda like Destiny meets Avengers. More shoot stuff with team than anything else, looks solid and slick enough but I don't think there is enough moment to moment stuff that I find engaging if you just go room to room and do that but maybe with friends it's quite fun just shooting the shit.

I'm eventually in for the visuals alone. Combat doesn't seem like it requires much skill..but that's ok.

Honestly it reminds me a lot of how I played dragon age 2, though not as stiff obviously lmao

Played as only hawke and gave commands the whole time to setup stagger combos etc. honestly the combat in that game was pretty great for my tastes

Combat looks slow and boring at least early in the game. Should have used vanquish as a gameplay template.

Honestly don't think this game will be good.

I was very lukewarm on this game at first glance and now I think my interest is as low as it can go.

I don't know why exactly but this game just has zero appeal to me.

Sheesh. I know some of the journalists who played it early are giving it praises, but the videos aren't doing it any favors. I'm getting this feeling of dejavu where a game is praised early, only to end up a wet fart. Hopefully it's not the case here.

People who played it seem to have liked the combat enough. Ghost of Tsushima played better than that state of play demo the devs gave which made it look rough and janky as a preview of the combat.

From the previews they said you're gonna have to rely on team commands to make it out alive instead of just breezing through with typical third person shooting.

reminds me of a cross between an isometric rpg giving commands to party members and mass effect. i'm in day 1 because it just looks like a shit ton of fun and something unique for a change.

It's also mentioned in the ign video in the OP, how the combat gets difficult if you don't utilize commands and fill gauges by swapping abilities

I really don't like how... I dunno, bulletspongey the enemies look? It's Batman Arkham's freeflow combat system without the freedom or the flow. The character action approach only makes sense to me when the player is an active participant, not floating around on the sidelines unloading hundreds of bullets into each enemy.

Also that pep-talk thing will get so old so fast.

This is looking like a surprisingly decent title, the art in the environments looks so colourful and the soundtrack is fun. Since we have such a drought of AAA games at the moment I'm pretty down for this.

I don't think this is going for a character action approach; it's more akin to Xenoblade Chronicles or Final Fantasy VII Remake than the likes of, say, the Arkham games or even the Avengers game. An ARPG focused heavily on coordinating team skills, managing cooldowns and making the right choices instead of just doing a bunch of different combos as a single character.

I can't help but still be disappointed we don't get to play as Rocket/Drax/Groot/Gamora and only get to command them to do stuff. The guy in the first video compares the combat to FF7 Remake as far as commanding your teammates goes but in FF7R you can still play as the other characters too if you want. I feel like only playing as Star-Lord for the whole game will get tiring.

I'm probably still going to play this because I love GOTG but I do feel a little lukewarm on it.

Still not sure about combat. Doesn't look all that great in the early game at least which blows because I like everything else I'm seeing around it. Definitely waiting on reviews with this one.

I kind of want to preorder on PC just for the DLC outfits. Never in my life have I done that but the dissonance with how they are kinda dressed like the Marvel characters would be so much easier to stomach if they were in entirely different looks.

I'm so on the fence with this game. Definitely waiting for reviews as on paper this game sounds great but everytime I see videos it just feels a bit off.

You can earn all the preorder outfits in game.

the huddle will cut the momentum of the combat especially if your in the middle of a long battle

God, the banter in this game is so bland and run-of-the-mill. Don't write nothing but jokes if you don't know how to write jokes.
