Well, ready in the sense that the Guardians are actually capable of working as a unit now, which wasn't really the case earlier.

Fun fact; No Guts, No Glory is also the name of the ending track for the old Galaxy Rangers cartoon from the late 80's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmDckVV5vxQ Frankly it's a real banger of a track.

DMorbid posted:I thought I remembered him mentioning Fin Fang Foom in the first chapter, but figured I was just getting things mixed up. Well, I mean they say a lot of things. I dismissed it as just another name-drop. Fin Fang Foom. I mean, wasn't he initially another "yellow peril" bad guy for Iron Man, who got retconned into being an alien?

 Episode 21: Dragon Attack I hope you like extremely dated Trogdor references. This should also be the last episode named after a song NOT on the GotG soundtrack (for those interested, the others were "Space Doggity" and "Infinite Dreams"). Speaking of episodes, I'm hoping to get more frequent updates going again so we can finish this thing soon. 4K is still processing, as usual.

No trogdor was a man Eer He was a dragon man Bit of a choice to have foom just be a big dragon but i guess no more new characters introduced batring the Ruby Thursday cameo. In the comics shes kind of a c-lister villain originally made for the defenders as part of the villain team The Headmen, her power is that she can mold her head into shapes. The 70s everyone.

Y'know, those tentacle things look like those weird thingies in Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Wendigos originate from Native American myths. Basically a malevolent spirit which possesses human beings, causes them insatiable greed including cannibalism. They look like exhumed corpses. In Marvel comics, he was a Hulk villain who looks like a white Sasquatch with a tail. Interesting thing is that the Marvel Legends release of Wendigo came with parts for the Build-A-Figure Fin Fang Foom!

I do kind of wish Marvel would stop using the character that's appropriated from the mythology of First Nations people.Rigged Death Trap posted:Bit of a choice to have foom just be a big dragon but i guess no more new characters introduced batring the Ruby Thursday cameo. Yeah, that archive log in her camp was referencing some of the other members of the Headmen, Chondu the Mystic and Arthur Nagan, aka Gorilla Man - the man with a human head grafted onto the body of a six-hundred pound gorilla.

fractalairduct posted:First Nations Thank you! I was trying to remember what the right word was, and I couldn't. "Native American" didn't sound right, but the only other one (American Indian) sounded even worse. But y'know, comic books have been appropriating myths from everywhere. Thor and Loki, obviously, but Fin Fang Foom was very obviously a Chinese dragon (and that's where he crashed? I think?). Captain America "appropriated" the Nazi ubermensch, which I always found to be a great "take-that".

i love all the dialogue and storytelling in this game it's so good i'm still glad i don't have to play the combat myself to enjoy it, i don't think i would have much fun with it painedforever posted:Thank you! I was trying to remember what the right word was, and I couldn't. "Native American" didn't sound right, but the only other one (American Indian) sounded even worse. on that note, i recently asked a friend of mine about this and they said "Indigenous is the preferred catch all term for people who are indigenous" said friend also said "first nations" was ok too but not as preferred - sort of a "not wrong, but could be more right" situation (this person is indigenous and north american, in case there would be any confusion without that clarification)

Thor and Loki, obviously, but Fin Fang Foom was very obviously a Chinese dragon (and that's where he crashed? I think?). That is true, but unlike Norse mythology, the Wendigo is part of the spiritual beliefs of a culture that still exists today, and something that Western media tends to get the details of completely wrong. I haven't been able to find a reliable source on this, but I have heard that some of these cultures consider it taboo to discuss or depict it at all. I feel like by retconning Foom into an alien, they've managed to do enough to divorce him from his original racist origins, whereas doing that with the Wendigo is impossible. Of course, I'm not Chinese or indigenous, so I wouldn't have the final say on any of this.

 Episode 22: Where Eagles Dare INTO THE NIGHT THEY FALL THROUGH THE SKYYYYY NO ONE SHOULD FLY WHERE EAGLES DAAAAAAAAAAAAARE *ahem* Yes, it's time to take the fight to the bad guys once and for all, and things get pretty spectacular. Also, now that I think of it, the discussion about the crew's Terminator preferences is completely academic because Star-Lord isn't aware of any media released after 1989 and therefore doesn't know Terminator 2 exists. 4K still processing, as usual.

Having watched the video, I wish to say- The lines from Drax and Kosmo towards the end- "You may go to whatever heathen paradise you believe in. I will pray for you being allowed to visit mine" and "Nyet, Kosmo is best of boys."- are my favorite lines in the game.

 Episode 23: Watch Me Shine Time for the final showdown with the Church of Universal Truth! All we have to do is beat the bad guys, save Nikki and put Magus back in its stone, and then we can all relax just like Frankie suggested. Consider this galaxy officially guarded! 4K version is still processing, as you might expect. Oh, and in case you can't watch this due to a ContentID block (which shouldn't be a problem for most of you, but still), I'll upload a copyright-friendly version later.

Cool ending. Straight up "Strut your victory". Yeah, that objective definitely has a Saint's Row IV feel to it. Any button presses to pose or fist-pump or something? Dialogue gets a bit janky at the end though.

Nikki's deal is kind of unclear in this game. It is implied that she was at least blonde or something else unnatural for a Kree all along, since they kept a hair-dying apparatus around to fool that Kree Purity Council. But I don't think they could have hidden it if she had fire hair.

Ah yeah, agree with the sentiment the writing is stellar but the combat is lacklustre. At least they almost knew that by adding the difficulty settings to make you breeze through it. Also no idea if Embracer is the only one with the Marvel license as Firaxis is working on Midnight Suns, the Marvel XCOM game. And they're part of 2K. Squeenix divesting all their western studios and announcing an NFT game on top of it. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Nov 9, 2022 |

This was... Yeah, I still hold it is good despite it's faults. But as it was pointed out, the combat was too repetitive and the combat barks got a little old, even though the dialogue scenes were generally fantastic. Also, yeah, Pratt wouldn't have been able to pull off the chops for the heavier scenes.
