Star-Lord speaks for everyone in this new Guardians Of The Galaxy footageThe illusion of dialogue choice
The illusion of dialogue choice
There’s some newGuardians Of The Galaxyfootage for us to have mixed feelings about. We liked the action of theprevious trailer, but felt it was trying a bit too hard to reflect the effortless silly coolness of the movies.

The one choice made in the trailer doesn’t mean a damn. The player has to choose between Star-Lord taking the lead or letting Drax talk. He tells Drax to talk to her, because Lady Hellbender is flirting with the over-literal man meat. After a few seconds of chat, Star-Lord steps in, albeit with a fairly amusing flourish. Back of the line, Drax. That’s not how this is supposed to go.
I hate it when this kind of thing happens. Especially as I could see Drax and Lady Hellbender committing to a long and healthy life partnership with many children and some goats, but we never get to explore those possibilites. It makes a mockery of having a choice at all. There are plenty of situations where letting a Raccoon talk for the team would be preferable.
This is only one example, though, and I’m not bitter enough that I won’t be playing it on its planned October 26th release date, but I’ll be going not expecting to make a huge difference in how the story plays out.
