    Coming out so close to marvel's avengers hurt this game so sooo much.

    • @baki484

      The publisher did leave a sour taste in many people's mouths and this game being under square Enix definitely hurt it.
      I guess it's the sins of the father situation.

      I'm not gonna lie. I was one of those people that had a negative reaction to this game announcement solely because of what happened with avengers so seeing how good the game actually turned out made me feel a bit dirty for how badly I mistreated the game. 😓

      It upsets me so much because this game is genuinely one of the best written things to come out of Marvel as a whole. Sure, the gameplay was lackluster, but it had heart and looked amazing.

    I remember buying this game a few months after launch with a bit of worry mainly from Avengers since it was a live service title but man I was happy to see this game mainly single-player and I fell in love with the game and story. The thing that surprised me was the amount of conversations the Guardians have with each other. Half the time I just stand around them listening to them bicker, the actors definitely nailed the roles for the Guardians. Can't wait to see the next parts along with your analyzing for secrets and easter eggs!

And funny how I'm bringing up Sly Cooper, as he is also an anthropomorphic raccoon like Rocket, and even shares his last name with Rocket's actor in the MCU! Thanks Nerdy for reminding me of that forgotten PlayStation franchise!

      @@alwaysnerdyretros I think it could have helped the company for sure. If this came out first, it would’ve built good faith in the company with consumers/gamers. Then Avengers would launch with that good will and potentially destroy it. But sequels don’t rely on customer feedback, they rely on sales. Which it could have potentially met and then we could get better games for both. Another timeline perhaps

  • @zpbstudios9551

    Heya, Mr Nerdy, when you're done doing Guardians, do you think you could look at Hulk Ultimate Destruction next? A LOT of fans of your channel have been going over the moon requesting you to look at that, and I think the requests are justified; the destructible environments, the variety of side-missions, Neal McDonough voicing Banner again after the 1996 series, and the crap-your-pants-scary Devil Hulk!

    • @alwaysnerdyretros
      @alwaysnerdyretros  Годину тому

      Ultimate Destruction is definitely one that's a high priority. I have a lot of highly requested games that I'm working through, so Hulk won't be next, but he's one I'm anticipating doing sooner than a lot of others. Ultimate Spider-Man and Web of Shadows are games that I promised a while back, so I'm hoping to knock those out first. But I haven't forgotten about Hulk!

      I don't recall their usage in EMH, but as far as the games vibes in relation to the MCU, I've found it to be a good hybrid with the comics. You can see the comics and movies influence over the games characterizations, but the developers do a good job of going their own way with it too, instead of just trying to mirror the movies. In all honesty, I like this version of the guardians WAY better than the movie one.
