Kinda want to wait on a DF verdict before making a purchase, but I'm assuming both console versions are probably the same. Graphically and performance wise that is.

So, the general take on this is that this is actually some damn good shit? Planning to pick up the PS5 version after work tonight.

2 chapters completed and my takeaways are:

-Charming and funny characters
-Interesting story so far
-Visually excellent even in 60fps mode
-Great soundtrack if you're a fan of 70s and 80s rock (and if you're not there's a setting where you can turn off all the licensed music)
-Gameplay and character control seems passable to good so far but I'm only 2 hours in

Bonus points for:
-not shitting up the game with live service bullshit and no micro transactions to be found anywhere that I've seen

1 hour till PC launch. Still annoyed I have had to wait 17 hours to play the game on release day thanks to global unlock.

This totally flew by my radar until a couple of days ago and I'm really interested in the PC version. PC Gamer review says it's janky as hell though and sounds like they recommend waiting. Honestly I seem to be lucky when it comes to stuff like this as games usually described as having issues seem to work perfectly fine for me from the get-go but I don't know if I'm trying to pay $60 for something that might need patching before I can play it consistently without problems.

Would love to hear from any of you PC players once you're up and running.

Just finished Chapter 4.

This game is a winner so far. The gameplay is acceptable, but it really has a fantastic narrative that is told really well. And the writing is spot on.

After a year of everything being 60fps (literally, I have not touched anything 30fps) it has been hard, but I'm getting used to it.

I'm still unsure if it's worth the sacrifice though.

Yeah the game is noticeably sharper in Quality mode but after so many months playing 60 fps titles only, playing at 30 just feels bad. I've tried to switch to quality mode several times and I'm like "Damn, this looks crisp as fuck" but after I start moving the character/camera, I just have to go back to those 60 fps.

Why are you all playing in quality?!
Performance is fine and looks great on LG CX.

I've tried that 30fps mode and it's smeary as fuck


Ok ok fine. Performance it is. Also will be on a CX, so I'm happy that it looks good in that mode
 

doops.

Finally finished.

Overall, a definite 8/10. Though the gameplay is quite repetitive towards the latter half of the game and there are some annoying design decisions along the way, the story, characters, soundtrack and dialogue are so strong that they really bring it all together.

Might be too hasty to say so and I'll have to ruminate on it, but my gut reaction right now is that this is AT LEAST toe-to-toe with Gunn's Guardians movies. There are several characters and backstories that I believe are a lot better here than in the MCU versions.

I really do hope we get a sequel down the line but something about the way it ends with the 'where they are now' montage tells me we probably won't be and that this is a one and done.

People are impressed by PS5 compression while Guardians of the Galaxy download on Steam was 20GB and unpacked game is 66GB. That is what i call compression XD

Steam forums are saying you need to delete the whole preload and redownload...

Glad I never preload. Unpacking is slower than just downloading the whole thing when it releases for me.

How long did it take for you to finish?

try validating files, steamdb updated and it looks like they remembered needing an .exe

Think I may have jumped the gun a bit by deleting and re downloading haha. Oh well. Halfway there now.
