The gaming community is reflecting on the unexpected surprise of Square Enix's Guardians of the Galaxy and begging for more despite failing to meet sales expectations.
From the beginning, James Gunn didn't want Chris Pratt to play Star-Lord
The Guardians of the Galaxy was a welcome addition to the larger and expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it encouraged other creatives from different fields of expertise to adapt this ragtag team of villains into a much more interactive medium. The superhero craze was higher than ever and gave Square Enix the idea to pioneer the crusade in gaming; Unfortunately, the poor execution of their first attempt fell into disarray and ruined Guardian's chances of thriving in gaming despite being a great project.
The failure of Marvel's Avengers started a domino effect and seriously hurt this game's chances of being a financial success. Despite positive reviews from fans and critics alike, the game did not sell well.
The gameplay strongly resembled the crazy in the live-action movies; However, it was clear from the beginning that it was not a connection of any kind and the developers wanted to tell an original story with the Guardians along with other cosmic beings that are part of the Marvel brand.
