>1% Story>99% EscalationsI expected it to be Hitman WoA 2016, but James Bond. Instead, it’s a reskinned Absolution.but seriously, six years of development over a 10-hour story???
i don't think anyone gives a fuck about james bond except boomers
>>739824243Irrelevant
>$200m budget and it can't beat Pragmata.TrannyXisters, Discord Meeting, NAO
>>739826040wait for the weekend
>>739826040meds, now
>>739826040>pedomataInteresting game ruined by a rabid player base I’d rather bump elbows with boomers than pedos
>Escalationswhat does that mean?
>>739826040Let's be real, james bond as a franchise is dead, and the advertising around this game put off a lot of people.
>>739826040Are you implying capcom spend way less on the game showing up on PS5 reveal and every TGA?
>>739826040James Bond has always been a niche franchise and basically dead for a decade. Pragmata is a flagship Capcom game riding off their multiyear high.
>>739826040Both of these games are ultra fucking mid, woke aside.
>>739830736Holy cope. Trump won, you lost. Pedoboomers rule the world.
>>739826040>mogged by VeilguardApologize.
>>739834915>xaxaxaxa FUCK the children(literally)!And then you wonder why we consider you evil.
If they give us a freelancer mode I wont complain
>>739823970The latest iteration of subversion propaganda. Another humiliation ritual.
>>739835035>"umm I consider you le evil!!1">*votes for the pedo presidents*>"le pedos are very bad">*pays taxes to pedo elites*>"y-you cannot just enjoy loli in video games mmkay!">*ignores the rape of real kids*Just how many levels of reddit cuckoldry you are on?
>>739831413>Goldeneye>niche
>>739830871Challenge runs that are set to three or more stages, each subsequent stage increases difficulty by restricting rules, hence the term “Escalation”.Here’s an example:>Stage 1: Use a sniper rifle to kill some guy>Stage 2: Same as above, but don’t get spotted or have the target’s body found>Stage 3: Same as above, but now you have a bomb strapped to your neck and you can only diffuse it by finishing the challenge even quicker. Also, everyone is permanently aggro’d and will shoot on sight, and if you’re hit once, you get giga AIDS irl
>tell the red dress slut to fuck off>she still bothers you when talking to the informantwhy the fuck even give me dialogue options then?! god I hate modern gaming tropes
>>739826040Diana stronk!
>>739836416so normal story missions are escalations?
>>739823970>over a 10-hour story18 hours actually>>739826040it sold 1.5m in one day thanks to PS5chadscuckmata only reached 1m after 2 days.
It's honestly too long. I'm at Antartica and I just want it to end already.Go here, distract these guys with the things beside them or use your gadget, take the thing, go to point a, get past or kill some dudes, and repeat.It gets old before you beat the game. I'd really rather be playing Hitman Freelancer on VR right now.
>>739838725Say what you want about IO interactive, but they're the only modern developer capable of making a good looking "AAA" game. It might be that they still use their inhouse engine instead of unreal slop. Everything always looks so beautiful in hitman 3 and first light.
is this the only bond game on steam?
>>739823970>release freelancer for woa>its fucking amazing and everything I wanted hitman to be>do nothing to capitalize on it>instead relase shitty paid dlc with famous faggots in it that has levels that are worth playing maybe one or two times>release a shitty woke 007 game that by all accounts is just a shit version of hitmanwhat a shame
>>739839824On an unrelated note, I am disappointed in CD Projekt for abandoning REDengine in favor of Unreal, and GSC for abandoning X-Ray for the same.
>>739839835As of now, yes. If you really want to go after the Activision ones, you'll have to look elsewhere. I'd at least recommend looking up Blood Stone, as it's quite similar to First Light gameplaywise.
>>739823970>I expected????and who's fault is that, retard?
>>739841596Did you expect him to talk, Damian?
>>739841275I find it more annoying that freelancer doesn't have something change in the levels other than targets and maybe someones routine. There's variants of levels for the side stories, escalations and limited targets but they just don't add them to the maps as a curveball.It somehow makes a roguelite mode predictable.
>>739823970Is there any possibility for a freelancer like mode in the future or is really just corridors?
>>739823970>Moneypenny is a niggerNot playing your game.
>>739841963TacSim's probably it.
>>739823970007/10
It's being scored way higher than it should be. It's a 7/10 game at best. Basically hitman but very linear and with less ways to kill people. The story is meh from what I've played so far.
>>739823970Your fault your playing it.
>>739823970Where is the voices crack brothers
>>739823970i can't get out of tacsim and thus cannot progress further into the story so mad i bought this shit
>just gets rescued yet AGAIN after the final bossYES MAAM FUCK ME IN THE ASS MAAM
>>739838375misogyny isn’t cool
I am enjoying this game a lot.
>>739845465It’s literally just James Bond: Absolution.>>739845465I stopped doing it stealth because not even the stealth is good like Hitman, I’d rather beat people up, and if it becomes License to Kill, I like shooting their guns off their hands or shooting their legs to incapacitate the enemies.
>>739847374More like 007 Conviction amirite
I also can’t believe that Monroe and Cressida and all the other 00 candidates ended up becoming irrelevant
Looks like another generic woke westslop with a tiny bit of hoodwinking to deceive chuds.A hag in bikini won't change bond being girlbossed multiple time in the game.
>>739823970>it’s a reskinned Absolution.That still would have been a step up over the Uncharted clone they delivered.
>>739848360You’re trying way too hard
>>739847896I love Cressida so much it's unrealI hope she's the old one dies and she is the new Moneypenny
>Welcome to Africa, Mr. Bond.
>>739848360>>739848478The hag betrays you too and gets away with it not just once but TWICEThey emasculate Bond every single chance they can get from the beginning to the end of the game.
>>739848579They're two different women.
>>739848683That just makes it worse nigger>dey also arr rook same>and now its TWO women that do it
>>739841454I can understand abandoning X-Ray since even the modded one for Anomaly can run like ass once you stack it full of shit.
>>739848819Bottom one never betrays you. You rescue her once and then she disappears for the rest of the game.
kino
>>739824243Gen X loves Bond. You're a millennial baby so you wouldn't understand.
>>739849063Top never truly betrays you, it's just that she puts duty over her personal feelings. In reality, she still likes James at the end
>>739849103I'd say every generation up to the millennials still appreciate old franchises like 007 James Bond and Star Wars.
>>739849096Hideous amount of backlighting
>>739823970>Aura Monster Bond
>>739849236Bond is kinda dead these days after Craig. Only upto Gen X likes 007. Millenials really don't care about him. They lack taste anyway, they're retarded.
Kinda wonder how a Golgo 13 Hitman game would be like, but chances are it'd just be Hitman with more emphasis on sniping (and ridiculous feats)
>>739849263sunlight and monitors do be like that
i think for the past 10-15 years at least there's been a lot of wiffle waffleing on big IPs like this, rather than just making what they should they are overly concerned with with marketing and bullshit
>>739826040IOI is indie, cretin. Capcom wasted more $ on marketing for their "not pedo" game.
Crazy how discussion for this game died immediately. Really makes you think.
>>739849096>reference to the opening of From Russia With Love>title is from OHMSSrefunded
>>739849832WDYM it's selling gangbusters?!?
I might play it if it goes on gamepass but I'm not buying it
>>739849360Right, because they didn't grow up with Brosnan. Sure thing.
>>739849896When you slap it on the front page of EVERYTHING it'll sell fast. /v/ had constant multiple threads up gushing over this game that hit bump limit the past few days says shit like "this is how you make a moviegame" and other HEY THERE FELLOW ANONYMOUS ass posts and now there are next to no threads at all and even the discourse of this thread is normal. You didn't notice the blatant Amazon raid?
>>739849530>at any rate, an amazing penis
let's celebrate the history of IOI interactive, they've come a long way. old games were just built different.
>>739850905nice slit
>you can mass effect dance in the clublollmao
>>73985109747 did it first
>>739850905>lets celebrate one of the biggest kikes in the gaming industry on par with 2k and EA
>>739823970>IOI interactive brought back the good hitman games>they also brought back Absolutionfunny
>>739850475Hey, as long as it works.
I've gotta talk about the femme fatale and how fucking pants on head retarded Bond isNear the end, he says he figured out who she works for, and says it's the CIA and he has a whole schizo stupid theory and she basically says "no, retard. Not even close"but this comes immediately AFTER they fuck and he literally sees a Chinese sub arrive to deliver equipment for both of them. Like she is so obviously a Chinese agent I was shocked he acknowledged it at all, let alone to be incorrectIs he stupid? Like is there something wrong with his brain?
>>739850993IOI was crazy back in the day>only injured female NPCs had these lines of dialogue https://files.catbox.moe/f8q10y.mp4
>>739826040im not paying $70 for single player games
>>739851162oh ya ur right
>>739851636IOI did things differently back in the day
>>739850905I see a bunch of 007 threads with women in skirts and dresses in the screenshots, but no panty shots posted. Knowing how they backtracked from it with Hitman 3 im not surprised that this game doesnt have it as well. Pity
>>739849894The whole game is full of layered Bond references
>>739823970>biggest critique on /v/ is that it's not more like HitmanBut it's not a Hitman game.
>>739852828I play stealth action games for stealth and action, not tiny pixelated panties that I’ll only see for 0.5 secs or if I kill a female NPC
>>739823970goty
>>739824243This.Daniel Craig Bond was pretty shitty for the exception of Casino Royale and Bond Burger was 90s camp like Mission Impossible and Batman Forever.Mission Impossible aged better as an IP and nobody is crazy about it.Millennials aren't particularly nostalgic for any televised western IP.Zoomers possibly never used a tv remote so there is no chance they watched the originals.Changing the formula for "Modern Audiences" ruins the formula so why even pick this IP?To top it off, the protagonist looks like Kirkland's Tom Holland which would had been shitty regardless.Gameplay looks bad desu, there are people comparing it to the last two Splinter Cell games which were not fantastic and First Light is still losing.It is pretty much like a bad version of Uncharted and Uncharted gameplay was already tortuous to play.Now the question is whether if this is more forgettable than Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
>>739852828>>739852398first time I noticed this after all these years but the jap Kane and Lynch kidnap is missing her pants in the next mission for some reason
>>739849360>Millenials really don't care about him.Bond stopped being relevant after the Cold War.Not to mention that action movies progressed further from what the usual Bond movie delivered.
Lenny Kravitz goes hard in this game
>>739854450
>>739854502
>>739830736only one talking about pedo shit is you man
>>739854603why do pedos project so hard?
>>739839824Remedy's Northlight engine is better. Control and Alan Wake II are the best looking games in years.
>>739854960I hope that control sequel is good. A melee combat focused game from remedy will either be kino or pure shit
I think this game has the longest tutorial I've ever seen. It's unexaggeratedly like 3 hours. Imagine replaying that.
>>739839824what? this game is ugly and buggy as hell.i hope nobody posts any water.
>>739823970more like James Twerpshan't play
>>739855674this druids ass screenshot is the most severe bug I've seen so faroh and one of the unlockable tacsim suits has a broken mesh so it has a big black hole in it
melee combat looks n feels good but it's ruined by the dogshit AI that just stands there and does nothing
>>739855674Okay, I won't.
>>739855749this game loves clipping

>>739823970The only appeal of James Bond is Sean Connery and 1960’s cars. Don’t care about playing as some zoomer spy in current year.I’ve been saying for a while James bomb movies should go back to a retro setting and cast a Connery lookalike.
in Hitman the security guards are all just shooting 47 if you're engaged in a fistfight with a guard. they don't give a fuck just bust a cap in that guy's ass. 007 doesn't have to worry about such unsportsmanlike behavior while brawling.
>>739855385Same bro I'll be hella pissed if they fuck it up.
>>739823970>nigger moneypenny>pajeeta M>nigger 00 programme headYou genuinely could not pay me to play this goyslop and microshit literally offered just that.
>>739839824Not with those hideous SSR reflections everywhere.When will this horrible trend die.
>>739855815Licence to Kill and Goldeneye.
>>739823970Don't care what anyone else thinks this game is fun and cozy as fuck. It is everything old Snoyger movie games used to do right but improved because it provides the player with a sensible amount of agency for an action game. It's basically a slightly less brainless Uncharted. I'm impressed with the melee combat for a cozy linear action game. It is quite good for IO. If we get this level of interactivity for melee in the next Hitman it will finally achieve perfection. Interactivity meaning not just your face on their fist but specifically your and their bodies with the world. Kinda like the Conviction interrogation scenes but it is all the time in all combat. It is a DRAMATIC improvement from the lazy Assassin's Creed/Arkham Batman games' melee combat. They were both missing the critical element of including the surrounding environment into combat in a dynamic way. For the $45 dollars I paid (no tax) from GMG last month it is well worth the price of admission. Excellent game. Enjoying it more than Pragmata even if Pragmata had a clever/fresh twist on combat that I haven't seen before. If we can get this melee system (world interactivity and all) in the next Hitman... IO has the perfect game on their hands imo.
>>739823970Absolution is the best Hitman game
Is this as replayable as Hitman? Lots of sandbox elements?
>>739856452based fun haver
Cressida Pls
>>739856313>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS WHITE GENOCIDEToday, I will remind them.
>>739823970What's the tacsim like? is it like freelancer? Endless mode? Or is it just score attack?
>>739823970>>739826040six years and 200m for a 007 game? WHY?
>>739855815Licence to Kinohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaaXjHCNthI
>>739856786it's crazy limited right now. I expected at least having access to every major combat arena in the game with some modifiers, but it's only 2 so far. I know they are adding more but it's still weak as fuck for launch. And the Escalations are less engaging than Hitman. Hitman escalations feel like tiered puzzles where you need to adapt your solution for each one. The Escalations in tacsim so far feel like the solution for tier 1 will fundamentally be the same for tier 3. Maybe a couple more guys to knock out
>>739856452The melee reminds me of that Alpha version of Splinter Cell Conviction where Sam was a hobo It’s quite good, simple but good
>>739831413>James Bond has always been a niche franchise This is the Zoomerist thing I have ever heard.
>>739857096nigger you are the only other person on earth who remembers the original Conviction gameplay demos and we are brothers for life now. One of the only "cancelled" games I am still sad about never playing. Along with Project Treadstone (cancelled Bourne game) and the Indiana Jones game that was going to have Euphoria physics
>>739857096>It’s quite good, simple but goodYes, or final interrogation segments. Simple is good if it can make things feel visceral and this does that. It's absolutely wonderful cracking people's heads into various objects, watching them stumble over shit, cling onto shit, etc. God imagine the serial kil... assassin game Hitman with this level of interactivity. Absolutely DIAMONDS at the thought of it.
>>739857042Thanks anon. I just finished the story, and was wondering if it was worth putting a lot of time into doing the tacsim stuff. I checked some reviews and weirdly people barely talk about it, possibly because it is so limited.Also feels weird having to unlock your equipment after finishing the game.
>>739855815Live and Let Die, hands down.
>>739856612Not every game needs to be complex or revolutionary (though I do tend to gravitate to those games). Sometimes I just want to kick back and enjoy. This game is perfect for that. I thought maybe we'd get a few games like that again with Sony releasing stuff on PC but I got most of it and... none of it is any good. It is shocking how fall Sony has fell. They've completely lost it. I enjoy maybe 1 or 2 of this style game a year at most. I'm happy to finally have them back since sony isn't up to the challenge. Bravo IO.
>>739856452You tell ‘em, xister! Blast status: had!
>>739857227I did all the tacsim stuff in like an hour and a half or so. It's still fun because I like the combat, but it's not fun for grinding leaderboards or unlocking the THREE (3) outfits that are available. In a few months, if they keep adding combat arenas to the list and more outfits to unlock with gameplay, I could see it being fun post game content. But it was never going to be replayable on the level of Hitman
>>739855815the world is not enough
>>739826040It seriously couldn’t even hit THREE QUARTERS OF VEILGUARD???
>>739823970Having a baby play bond is fucking retarded.There is no way he would have been selected to be a secret agent at his age.This game is for retards.
>>739824243I’m a zoomer and I’ve read around six Bond books, but I’ve never seen the movies. I kind of enjoy the franchise based on that.I wouldn’t fucking touch this woke piece of shit for a second, though.
People keep calling this a movie game but in some ways it's worse than the usual one, because the set pieces are mostly unremarkable, even though the Bond movie series is known for crazy set pieces. It's also telling that IOI was lazy enough to be satisfied with pic related for their gadget selection screen; the main menu is just a still image too
>>739857198I had a really fun time in the Slovakian hotel grabbing the albino twins and smashing their heads on every prop I could findIt feels just rightIf you like visceral, "organic" feeling combat, i’d suggest TLOU 2, yes i know characters and story suck ass, but the combat and stealth are really good
I feel extremely retarded, I can't figure out the path forward, I know there's another path through the stairs but there's a grenade so I need to get there from the other side first. Haven't found anywhere to hang to go from the outside and all the other paths have lasers in them. Haven't found things to push either.

>>739857618I found the press pass and just walked in the front door
This game and the past few days serve as proof that this game was astroturfed by 1000 shills literally working on the clock. It should be studied how companies clog the catalog when a new AAA game releases.
>>739859145I used to think nobody would actually shill on /v/, but over the past two years or so it’s become so obvious I can’t ignore it any more. This and Marathon have easily been the two clearest examples and I now see why the captcha had to be changed.
>>739859145>>739859250You do realize I’m not gonna stop enjoying this game right?
>>739857601I've thought about it a few times but I never played the first one (I tried way back when it released on Steam but it ran like ass). I have a 5090 FE now so maybe I could brute force through the psychotically bad port performance. I did play through the worst Uncharted (weirdly the only one they released on PC) and it was pretty cozy but not great.
>>739859651I think it's fucking retarded the Nathan Drake Collection or whatever they called the 1-3 remaster pack never came to PC. Absolute fucking blunder from them.
Henya playing this right now and she's insanely bad, but at the same time showing how braindead the ai is in this lmao
>Literally the only bad review is by some faggot with a preconceived notion that "maybe Bond just shouldn't be in video games" and he's so pathetic that he can't comprehend playing as a confident manso the game is pretty much perfect then?
>>739860852If you liked uncharted 3 then yeah it's great. If you loved hitman it won't scratch that itch. It's like an exact middle ground between uncharted 3 and absolution
My main issue with the game is the melee combat, this game really needs a lock-on because it's a mess versus multiple enemies, the camera rarely cooperates too. Might be exacerbated by playing on purist though.
>>739861026I'm surprised because the melee combat is the only thing that I think is standout in the game. It's simplistic, but dynamic in a way very few games attempt. Just set up your camera away from walls as you start fighting and it's less painful. I've been seeing videos of people getting buttfucked by like 2 enemies because they refuse to engage with the defensive options. If you are getting grabbed, just dodge more. Dodging works for regular attacks too you just don't get the counter throw
>>739860852It’s just some shitty moviegame. Journos eat that shit up.
>>739861131the animations are fantastic but mechanically it's garbage>punch>grab can be looped on everyone>player and enemy dodging is a clipping nightmare>if an enemy winds up an attack while you're attempting to grab another one you can't avoid the hit>zero attack variety, it's all the same canned three hit attackslike everything else in the game there was a good idea behind it but the execution is halfassed
>>739861976It needs more animation variety for sure, and even the contextual animations don't utilize the environment fully. Like takedowns against railings and desks are always the same, and end with the body slumping near your feet. Should have ended them with throws over or at least knockouts towards the edges so they would end up laying on the tables or flying over railings. I have a bunch of autistic gripes with the combat system but it's still closer to what I want than any game has done in the last decade
>>739860426Indeed. Sony hates money.
>>739862106I don't want more animations, I want mechanical depth. Enemies mixing grabs into their combos and either a basic anti infinite prevention or locking grabs behind stunning enemies.And what you're looking for is Sifu.
>>739862557Nigga I played Sifu like 50 times I have over a hundred hours in it. My favorite game of all time is The Warriors. I just don't get games with fun grapple systems very often, I think that was the big fundamental missing from Sifu also, along with more ragdolls and less canned animation for death. And it's weird because 007 has enemies that dodge and use varied combos against you, and they even have increased health so the fights don't end instantly, but they are only used during a couple of stealth optional sections. The armored enemies that start showing up later are not much stronger in melee than a regular mook, and that's a huge missed opportunity. But yeah I wish it had some more combos and options that. Flowed out of counters, etc. At least on par with Sleeping Dogs for combos, which really isn't a lot
>>739863512>enemies that dodgeenemies only dodge grabs and even then the chances are oddly low on hard mode. and once you get them into hitstun they get grab looped to death.>varied combosno they don't, it's always the same three hit string though sometimes it bugs out and they only do two hits with no counter opportunity. only additional thing they have is a counter kick.>big fundamental missing from Sifuthe fuck? Sifu's grab system is really rewarding and highly intricate with wall bounces and chase combos though I hate how enemies can hit you out of it
>>739862106>I have a bunch of autistic gripes with the combat system but it's still closer to what I want than any game has done in the last decadeCorrect. It has easily elevated itself well beyond Assassin's Creed and Arkham Batman games to a disturbing degree. It is frankly shocking it took this long to get something as deep. Feels like alpha Conviction (or interrogation scenes from conviction) or that one Platinum Games title for the Wii (iirc) but it is applied to the entire game and not just canned segments.It doesn't need mechanical depth IMO, this is a cozy story/character driven action game with a tight narrow focus. It is supposed to be a simple game but simple doesn't mean brainless and IO nailed it. The perfect game to recline in your chair and play on a controller at your PC. It is all about INTERACTIVITY and it is disturbing it took this long for a mainstream game to get even this level of basic interaction with the environment during melee combat. I hope this is the start of a new trend. I love it.
>>739864063>simple doesn't mean brainlessbut it is brainless? you mash attack, press parry if an enemy twitches and dodge if they stretch their arms out.Even bamham has some effort in its enemy design.
>>739863961Sifus grab system is an alternative option after a parry or other stun attack. It's cool, but it's more a "throw" than "grapple". I like the opportunity to strike while grabbing and manually reposition the enemy. The last game that had a similar system was Sleeping Dogs and that game fucks hard but it was also 13 years ago. And it's also the thing that keeps me coming back to The Warriors. Positioning enemies to do insane environmental attacks is satisfying, and throwing for crowd control is kino and still underutilized in games outside the few we already mentioned. >>739864063You are based for bringing up the alpha of Conviction. I still don't think this game reaches the potential the system could have. At its peak, we will one day get a game that feels like prime era Jackie Chan choreography when played right. I pray to God those Sifu fuckers make another martial arts game and don't chase the live service sports game hell they are currently in
>>739823970Couldn’t they just pay MGM for Daniel Craig’s likeness?
>>739864552the Fleming estate has had some odd stipulations over the years, like only 1 actor can protest the character at a time. so all supplementary material like games were required to have the same actor. then they lightened up but still tried using previous actor likenesses onlynow they are trying the separate film and game timeline thing, and I think it will be the correct choice in the end. Gives IOI more freedom to design the levels they want without intrusion, and the films can cast a more fitting actor for a traditional viewing experience.
>>739864684>1 actor can protestportray* I'm mobileposting while I smoke sorry
>>739830736bruh fr diddy ahh shi
>>739848565This is definitely the weakest part of the game and you could tell while someone on the dev team still has a hard-on for flea markets carried over from hitman that no one wanted to write a story about boring cartel stereotypes
>>739861026>>739861131It's the duality of First Light. What some people love, others hate. >DrivingEither it's funny how easy it is to do or it's the worst thing ever they should've just made them cutscenes you watch because there's no way to lose them. Usually the people complaining about them also don't just try and stop so they can see the Game Over screen for Bond not driving, and want to kill everyone they meet on the roads and hate that they can't. Personally, I just hate how many of them are basically loading screens for the next stage/level, like when Bond drives back to his apartment or when Bond and Greenway drive to the salvaged ship. I mean, I get it, it's a way to have an interactive loading screen, but it's also boring. >FightingEither you love the combat or you hate the combat. You see people doing crazy shit like flinging a dozen wine bottles to knock your enemy on their ass or you have people saying it's just button-mashing with no skill and you shouldn't have to do any of this as a super-secret super spy. >ShootingWay better than Hitman and I see people who actually play FPS playing First Light and doing great with it, but then I see people who call it a movie game hating how so many encounters are shooting galleries where they're having absolutely zero fun shooting people, blowing up barrels, or rolling between cover. >InvestigationsThere's so many little elements that are like Hitman, but then none of them are fleshed out or lengthy. It's ass to me as an experienced Hitman player, but people who have never touched those games come across these and are impressed the game even offers the option of alternate routes. At the same time, the anti-moviegamers say none of that matters because you get to the same point in the map/story no matter which route you choose, as if Hitman didn't also do this. The people who are unhappy with First Light wanted to play World of Assassination but with a James Bond fleshsuit.
>>739865039Well said. The driving is ass by any metric and the investigation parts, as you put it, never reach the highs of Hitman and always feel like a pale comparison. They don't even achieve what they want to be in a vacuum, because they end up playing like checklists more than expressions of player knowledge and skillExample: if you are replaying a section and already know to laser a vent open, you may need to engage with a handful of linear dialogues before the relevant prompt becomes available. It's the antithesis of Hitman design and when they are trying to still give the illusion of these open ended mechanical sections, it really falls flat
>>739835341I can't do anything about epstien but I can vote for laws that put you in jail.
>>739865223I think it comes down to iOi being afraid that Hitman-style mission stories would be too confusing for the broader audience they're targeting with First Light and they were more focused on tight, short, mission levels rather than the sprawling Hitman levels where they wanted replayability and playtime.
>>739856029>posts one of the worst Bond games ever made
>>739865381Also likely. I think Hitman was enough of a success that they know there's an audience for that stuff, but the license holders needed something safer for such a big IP. What other people are saying rings true for me also. If they make a new Hitman game wish some amount of this combat system, I will love it. Imagine a grapple and run like 007 has, but you can choose to use a lethal melee weapon from your inventory during that grapple and can then smoothly transition into a body draga new Hitman with this upgraded engine could be the perfect stealth game
>>739864423>You are based for bringing up the alpha of ConvictionYeah that's what I >>739864063 said>Feels like alpha ConvictionAnd I agree it hasn't reached its final form. That's why I'm hopeful it makes its way into the next Hitman (or bond sequel) with more thought put into it. >>739864342>but it is brainless? you mash attack, press parry if an enemy twitches and dodge if they stretch their arms out.>Even bamham has some effort in its enemy design.You clearly haven't played it then. I'm talking about melee combat interactivity not fucking combos. Combos have no business in a game like this. But list any mainstream action game that has a more interactive melee system. AssCrud, Batman Arkham, Uncharted, TLOU, God of Onions, etc. None of them have a system that allows the motherfucker you're beating on to interact with the world dynamically based on what is happening, how much force is behind a thing, how the NPC is moving (speed, direction, height, orientation, etc) and the properties of the thing the NPC is inadvertently interacting with based on your input (height, density, fragility, etc). Maybe you DID play it and just have no awareness at all while you vapidly mashed the punch button shouting "HURR SO SHALLOW DURR." Only god knows.
>>739866057I recently learned that the Combat Design Lead for 007 was an animator on Arkham Asylum and saw the Freeflow Combat system in its inception and worked on it. He left Rocksteady after Arkham Knight and joined IOI and the rest is history I suppose. It does feel like it more fully realizes some concepts that the games that came before it, even bamham. You can't interrupt attacks with your own, for example, and it wants you to balance spacing from the enemies with their ability to escalate to a gunfight if l ft alone. Fuck it's so so good but still so limited. I only got this game for the melee combat and now I want a sequel for an upgraded version of this melee combat. I hate having this specific autism.Also they should have simple powered ragdolls in the future. Not full on smart ragdolls like Euphoria but some poses so that they don't become spaghetti right on death
>>739826040Wait bond and Pragmata are matched in player peaks? I thought Pragmata was a huge release and certainly higher budget than Bond.
>>739866304reports put Pragmata around 100M budget and 007 around 200M. Take that as you will. I think the average console gamer is more likely to pick up a James Bond game than the Capcom loli game but I just don't know
>>739857515young dexter would probably be considered for some sort of hyperlethal vector, actually.
Cressidas HUGE ASS
I wish it were reskinned Absolution. That would be a huge improvement. Absolution had gameplay. The majority of your time in this game is spent following yellow paint and blue tarps, with absolutely no enemies around.
>>739866957It's so similar to absolution in my eyes. If you just replace the shitty disguise sections of that game with shitty lie-or-punch sections it's almost identical. First Light just has like 3 times as many cutscenes
>>739839339Antartica is a huge slog. So much time spent "platforming" (which isn't really platforming since you can't actually fail). The last mission drags also, but has a couple really cool parts. The final boss fight is literally just following yellow paint.
>>739862106>I have a bunch of autistic gripes with the combat system but it's still closer to what I want than any game has done in the last decadePretty much the same here, I want a game that plays like MGSV but has deep CQC and that's pretty close to what we got. I definitely want to see a more hardcore approach in a sequel but I completely understand why they went for a more casual approach. 007 is a casual franchise
FOCUS, 0
>>739867039All the "bosses" are shit. I people compared it to Mr Freesellze from Arkham City in the previews but it's really nothing like that fight. you aren't using your full moveset you are shooting the ground to lead the guy into a retard trap 3-5 times in a row. That shit is actually terrible. Ironically the 2 unnamed assassins you fight in the apartment are a more fun boss fight than any of the shit with a healthbar. Maybe this should have been a Bourne game instead
>>739867021Absolution does not have any segments were you are forced to shimmy on yellow paint ledges and crawl through yellow paint crevices for 10 minutes straight. The closest thing Absolution had to that was the hotel climbing sequence after the Hotel fire, and that is actually failable if you aren't fast enough. The few stealth sequences in this game are Absolution-esque, but the vast majority of your time in this game is just spent walking along a yellow paint and blue tarp obstacle course.
Game is fun. I'm having a blast.
>>739867113Its really weird there is no hacking minigames. All data is in handwritten notes. That's bizarrely low tech. Deus Ex captures the spy feeling a lot more since I am sneaking into offices and hacking computers.
>>739867121You are forgetting the level like 3/4 way through in the desert area, where you literally do the shimmy shimmy on cliff walls for several minutes while hiding the load between the shitty arenasit feels more linear in all the non-combat stuff, but the combat optional arenas remind me most of Absolution in a weird way
>>739865039The 2nd Africa driving sequence has to be cut content. The area is huge, and has multiple roads that criss-cross. It is way overdesigned for a simple loading screen. I guarantee there was an escape sequence there at some point that was cut.
>>739848565More like Welcome to London
Has the game flopped yet?
>>739867425It's going to continue to sell for years

Small indie studio, please understand. They had to spend a large amount of the budget securing Anita's consultation fee, hiring every nonwhite in Denmark, and hiring ecelebs? that only zoomers recognize.

>>739849096The concept for this mission was great but the execution was terrible. >follow a super linear path through the hotel>fight two guys>defuse a bomb>mission over and your whole team is dead
>>739849530You ever see the Golgo 13 arcade game? The one with the functional optical scope? He snipes shoes off of women walking down stairs, the rope of people waterskiing, the rotor of a hellicopter. The sniping should be effectively whatever the craziest youtubers are doing with sniper rifles in Hitman as required standard gameplay.Hitman without the quick disguise thing. No fiber wire. Base handgun is a revolver instead of the hardballer.
>>739852398>>739853997Was kane and lynch any good?
>>739859250Look up Kurppa Hosk's site on marathon. They literally advertise that they do it.
>>739871052I remember thinking the first game was cool but pretty jank. The multiplayer Fragule Alliance mode was super cool at the time but you can't get that experience anymore. The sequel was a much more competent but streamlined TPS. If you have a bro to play it with, the game is like 6 hours long and fun for an evening. Just don't expect anything noteworthy by modern standards
The cameos in this game are getting ridiculous.>>739871052I have both, but the first one is godawful. It has some neat tech moments (like the nightclub crowd stuff), but it's shit. I never played 2.
>>739857515This, but also my big beef with the game overall is the tone.Killing and danger has absolutely zero gravitas. Assault rifles are treated like fashion accessories and the violence is constant but completely flat and safe like a kids cartoon. Bond is some 20 year old who's already killed more people than Pol Pot by the time he ascends to 00 status, let alone joining MI6. He rushes at groups of men with firearms to punch them in the face like an invincible superhero. He's a complete psychopath.And we're supposed to believe that this is James Bond? Sure the movies were goofy but you didn't see James pull some Equilibrium shit and fight his way out of being surrounded by 12 dudes with AK47s 39 times in one movie.The old games were all action and shooting dudes but they didn't pretend to characterize their Bonds as anything but an experienced super soldier. If you're going to have your guy to through training arcs, emotional moments, have him yap about every little thing that happens aloud like he's narrating himself and have him consistently fuck up and act inexperienced and submissive, you can't have him be an unstoppable juggernaut in combat.They want to make movies but they can't write for shit.
>>739849096so are the people facing away from the screens just fucked? they can't even see the chess table because of the angle

>>739873059You're getting really desperate now
>>739873104Not as desperatre as Bond fans are to buy this reskinned Unsharted game.
Oh he's bubbling
>>739849360The Pierce Bronson Bond films and Casino Royale/Quantum Solace were the last Bond movies any one cared about any one cares about. James Bond and spy bullshit are just boring in a post-Cold War world. And don't say some retarded shit about being a fag that hates hot women since I can just look up the hot bitches in the film online and jerk off to them there and could since 2006.The concept of James Bond isn't interesting to people that have access to hot women on the Internet and don't care about Soviet-US politics.
>>739873059Yes, Starfield has better facial animations than a still frame.

>>739849360Dude I loved bond until Craig came in and had exactly 1 decent bond film then the rest blew cock. How do you expect people to care after almost 20 years of shit bond films? Hate brosnan if you want, he was a decent looker to play bond and most of his films were good to decent, except die another day
>>739875068Dalton>Craig>Connery=Lazenby>Brosnan (movies sucked, but he was good)>Moore
I hope she returns in an inevitable sequel. It's also funny, how she gets taken out by a bunch of debris falling on her, while Bond survives a direct bomb blast, falls out of the plane, gets hit in the face with a car and then just shrugs and moves on.
Is it cracked yet?
give it to me straight WoAheadsis this game good in a WoA kind of way?
>>739875591It's essentially Hitman lite, with some explosive setpieces thrown in. the gameplay actually reminds more of old Hitman games, like SA or even early Splinter Cell games than the WoA sandbox.
>>739875591It's nothing like it sadlyI really wish they did arrive actual content too WOA instead of this
>>739848360>A hag in bikini won't change bond being girlbossed multiple time in the game.>multiple timesYou mean "permanently". Seriously, almost everyone in the game acts like Bond ia a black guy in 1980's South Africa
>>739874939Perfect, just like the kinos. Time to game.

>>739876313Tendies pay 80 bucks for "games" with 0 hours
>>739876362yes its 8:15 and that isn't even gameplay. if you remove all cutsenes its probably like 6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISvqkwM72oo&t=27894s
>>739876408>unironically using the "all cutscenes" videos as an argument when they're nothing like how you would actually play the gameYou lost with this alone. By 10 hours I wasn't even halfway through the game.

>>739876474>not an argumentok, this conversation is going nowhere bye retard its not all cutscenes it literally a walkthrough form beginning to end
>>739876574>it's literally a speedrun that ignores the GAME part of the game to focus on quickly getting from one cutscene to the next to be presentable as a Youtube videoFixed that for you. You're literally the same kind of brainless retard that unironically uses a speedrun as a metric of how long the game is when the RE9 achievement list showed one for beating it in 3-4 hours or however long it is for 9.

>>739848565The whole Africa part was so boring. Who the fuck watches/plays Bond shit to for third world shitholes? Lenny Kravitz’ character was also incredibly cringe. I hope it picks up again.
>>739877024And it's obvious that Lenny Kravitz can't act for shit, so IOI just mocapped Kravitz doing Kravitz shit and called it a day.
>>739877093I liked it a lot, but then again I loved dirty, rusty, shady, shithole locations in HitmanLoved the Mumbai level for instance
>>739855796That terrain looks like it's from a Game Cube game.
>>739849360I’m 40, so technically still a millennial, even if I feel like I have little in common with Harry Potter and Pokemon obsessed late soilennials. I love Bond shit. I grew up watching Moore/Dalton Bond, and then moved on to Brosnan, before going back to watch all the Connery era ones. Daniel Craig is a cocksucking faggot.
>>739855796That new pokemon game as better terrain and water than this. Embarassing.

>>739877145>it's like a Gamecube game>it's a PS2 game>it's a PS3 game>it's a PS4 gameThese are not the insults you people think they are
>>739877327Ironically I thought Craig's acting was better in the Knive's Out movies than as Bond cause he plays a homo in that and he suits a more flamboyant persona than the edgy tryhard shit he was doing as James Bond.
>>739875068its some brownoid who likes shitposting by playing the generational bait
>>739849360Why would anyone under Gen X give a shit about Bond when this is the type of media he's in these days?
>>739826040Both games look like shit. How many times are we going to get the same third person action game where most of the gameplay is just walking and listening to the characters talk? These aren't games, they're movie sims for people with no hobbies. Fuck this gay earth.
>>739877424go back to Pizza Tower and Deltatroon
>>739877337It is when the gameplay is basically Uncharted because Uncharted at least has good graphics and animation tech.
>>739877381Craig is good with humor, and it should have been a no-brainer in 007 movies, seeing as Bond always has cheeky british humor in the most unlikely situations, but the directors for the Craig-era 007 movies just tried too hard with the gritty, moody, suicidal atmosphere, at least in the later movies where everything is always super duper serious business with no whimsy/camp whatsoever
>This will sell our game
>>739877457The gameplay isn't Uncharted. The action set pieces are like 10-20% of the game's gameplay while the rest is just Hitman with fancy gadgets.
>>739877449I don't know what either of those games are.
>>739877526True Uncharted has the decency of making many of its cutscenes interactive. Here you get 40% straight cutscenes, 20% uncharted and 40% sleeping dogs with gadgets.
.
>>739877721Good job immediately undermining your own position.
>>739877785It would be better if it was hitman but it's mostly a bamham with some gimmicks
>>739877850I didn't even provide a counter argument(you've already exposed yourself as a dishonest shitposter so I'm not arguing with you anymore, you've lost already by proving that you're being disingenuous) and yet you still moved the goalpost again without even needing to. Just shitposter habits I guess.
>>739823970This game is straight garbage, I was expecting Hitman 4 resknned as Bond (WHY HIRE THE FUCKING HITMAN DEVS OTHERWISE) nad instead we got a garbage on rails hitman with EVERY FEATURE REMOVED. I can't even refund this garbage because I got it on CD keys.
>>739850905It makes me sad knowing that no one outside of indie devs will ever reach the levels of edge in games like Hitman Contracts and the Kane and Lynch again. GTA is the closest we’ll still get, but that comes with a lot of corny libfag “social commentary”. Say what you will about the shitty gameplay, but KaL was cool for having absolute irredeemable piece of shit protagonists that hit women and gun down civilians. As much as I like world of assassination, the atmosphere in those games is really lacking at times. Modern IO wouldn’t do a Meat King’s party type level. Even 47 feels very toned down after Blood Money. The Hotel room hit in Thailand is maybe the one moment in WoA that still captures 47’s coldness. Current day media is so fucking lame, man.

Current day media is so fucking lame, man.It's annoying because they have the gameplay fucking mastered. It's like the way Kojima mastered MGS gameplay with 5, but now the Hitman devs have went a shitty "assassinates global elites" route and we will never get gritty levels like contracts which were peak.
>>739875591It is nothing like WoA outside of the fact it runs on the same engine (and they recycled some of the animations)It's just a set of linear setpieces (very occasionally you'll get a choice between stealthy or loud approach) interspersed with hours of dialogue
>>739878224You haven't played it
>>739878372You don't get to for half of the game's run time.
>>739878779That's not true and you would know that if you had played it, which you haven't.
>>739877997Agreed. WoA mechanics with Hitman Contracts or Dog Days’ atmosphere would be fucking amazing. From what I’ve played of First Light so far, it’s not terrible, shooting in particular feels pretty decent, but god, it’s just so horribly “safe”. It doesn’t even match the edge of some of the Darker Bond films.
>>739878830Half the game is dialogue and cutscenes. You literally check on youtube.
>>739878908And you admit it, concession accepted, no more conversation needed.
>>739878940>That's not true>It's true you can check on youtube??? Why would I want to play a dumb movie game/uncharted knockoff? It'd be an insult to assume that someone would.

>>739823970It's actually remarkable how barebones the gameplay is>melee combat is literally just punching ad nauseam, throw enemies around, throw shit at enemies and slide kicking, you don't even learn any new skills or moves, the way you fight at the start is the way you fight at the end>stealth is braindead as per the usual IOI modus operandi, enemies are blind even if you're right in front of them>shooting is competent at best but fucked over by the fact that you can only use guns in certain predetermined combat sections and not freely which is retarded if you know anything at all about james bond>qtes which can't be failed>driving segments that are so on rails that it will literally force you back onto the correct path if you try to drive wrong>they made a huge deal over the bluffing system which ends up being pointless because even if you pick the "wrong" option there are no penalties and the actual dialogue they gave bond for "excuses" if you get caught is so insanely stupid that a literal child wouldn't fall for it>bond sleeps with one woman, gets cucked out of another woman and has an EVA-style female rival who gets away at the end>boss fights are fucking awful and mostly identical to each other>plot isn't too bad at the start basically there's this super AI that MI6 uses for Minority-Report-style spy shit that turns out to be completely broken and giving false positives so the company who made the AI had been going around committing terrorist acts to remove all evidence of it fucking up so they can keep getting government cash but then after bond uncovers this conspiracy the main bad guy turns out to have been building another super AI that he wants to use to coup the British government for reasons that aren't really clear except that IOI didn't know how to end the story>no real replayability even the tacsim game mode is basically just glorified timed challenges on existing story maps

>>739878830What do you mean its not true. If you did a break down of your time in this game, the majority of it is spent in walking sections with no enemies. That justs objectively true. You can use the checkpoint system to replay all the portions with enemies. It would take only a few hours. Most of it would be antartica.

>>739855796all shit-flinging aside i actually like the graphics.its not the highest fidelity but what the fuck is high fidelity today? unreal looks like fucking blurry and grainy shit at the same time, runs like ass, most of your screen is AI-generated pixels and entire AI frames with frame gen. you're not even actually seeing the game most of the time. this screenshot wont impress anybody, but fuck that, its pleasant on the eyes.
>>739880306I dunno I liked the hotel. Almost felt like a point and click or something. Why is the aiming so fucking weird with the shooting? when your reticle gets close to someone, the sensitivity goes down like 5000%, it's really annoying.

Cause if we're judging things based on the latter criteria then WoA is even less since it doesn't have any shootout sections or car chases does it? Oh but let me guess that doesn't count.
>>739883505So there's more gameplay than just combat? And that's supposed to be taken as a negative?

just weet ik...
>>739830736people associating Pragmata with pedos are closet pedos who are confused.It´s like muslims when being confronted say "I´ll fuck you up" especially to males (since they are scared of women anyway).

>>739839824Lmao, Fox engine would eat their trash alive. Just saying, if you go for looks, fox engine is one of the best looking and this is the only factor that matters in AAA gaming
>>739885616some driving sections guide you back to the road or away from civilian cars but not all of them. Like it won't let you run into a civilian car and rear-end someone in the section that's just you chilling in the streets but you can run into an obstacle and game over during a chaseI think it also guides you during a section of driving a garbage truck and a giant quarry truck but I can't remember>easy AIlike combat AI? I think they grenade you and try to flank you all the time and cover breaks quickly too. I thought they behaved well in combat. I think it's a little handholdy in the Hitman-ish sections where you need to investigate or steal stuff but it's not too bad and there's still a lot of room for general problem solving or looking around yourself
shills still trying to earn their shekels here lol.

The License to Kill sections don’t work. They’re 3D shootouts where you have no bullets but there’s no interesting way to maneuver between enemies and cover.
>>739884848>left culture warriorsI see only fake conservatives with chinese money peaking out of their ass on any kind of culture war with this game
>>739887994Bond fag here. Not buying your shitty game. Are you indian or something?
>>739888063couldn't pretend to be something else for literally 2 seconds without screeching about indians will it be jews next
My biggest complaint of the game is that it’s so easy even on purist. I’m having to pursue the ghost achievement for every level just to get some kind of challenge, and even that’s straightforward since the stealth just amounts to “use gadget or distraction item”. Hitman’s stealth was far more complex, so I’m surprised how simplified 007’s stealth is.
>get to Aleph>game completely falls apart
>>739888123I'm just asking. I've worked with a few and it's always "saaar paki this, saaar chink that'
the real reason why SEA shitposters are so mad is because they de-uglied a black girl and they make all their money shilling for skinnerbox games that wouldn't have an audience if western game developers started doing this across the board
>>739888181They made it with free assets too. Absolutely pathetic for AAA dev.
>>739885324Yes. In this game, it is definitely a negative. The combat sections are the only decent parts.
sisters...it's peaking again...we fucking lost
Didnt expect this game to be stealth Uncharted. Honestly kino.
>>739888181I’m at Aleph just now (specifically having to do all the side quest to raise cash) and I’m liking that level thus far. Is there really that hard of a drop off after it? It did feel like the Slovakia level was going to be hard to top between the Hitman style stealth and the boss fight against the Finnish twins.
>>739888332OH NO
>>739888332It's the weekend ranjeet. Everyone said it's real peak was coming up
Did the reviewers even fucking play this game?
>>739888317>AAA devIO isn’t AAA. They’ve always been AA.
>>739888412It's really just that the story aesthetic and the greenway actor's overall mediocre performance compared to the rest of the cast bring that section down and the game quickly recoversIOI loves their flea market segments but this is the worst one they've made
>>739888390What a low bar
>>739888332>>739888426HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHThe pedophiles are not gonna like this...
>>739888471Didn’t need to, the Amazon checks already cleared before the game was finished.
>>739888426 >james bond>established since 1953>does just a little better than a random capcom gameoh no indeed
>>739888507For (you)
>>739888412You’re liking it? It feels like I’m in that prison desert section in FFVII RebirthThere’s no map, there are mini games, none of the quests are thought out
>>739888471Probably yes. It’s good for what it is, and it has a lot of handholding, so it probably appeals to them as a kind of “Hitman for dummies” game.
>>739823970>hours of boring linear walking sections and shit bamham combat>finally get to a shooting section>it's shitThe people praising this game must have never played another video game before, it's the only explanation
>>739888509But the Indians sure will
>>739888481>200 mill budget>made with 7 other support studios>published by amazon>$70 msrpit's a low quality game but it is AAA
>>739888595What is it about modern games needing so much external help? I recently played through metroid prime 4 and the amount of support and extra studios was ridiculous. I'm glad gamestop had it for $26 because it was a horrible mess.
>>739888332STOP THE COUNT
>page count not going upStop samefagging poojeet. Nobody cares. You're just making the game look bad.
the game's okay but $70 is way too fucking much for it. I have no clue how this game's budget was so huge, it feels like a 7/10 AA endeavor at best. I at least like that it actually feels like a proper Bond setting and is kind of silly with the over the top set pieces, refreshing after years of Craigshit.
>>739888546I guess I’m a sucker for the setting and vibe. The main thing I’m thinking of while playing Aleph is that it would make a top-tier Hitman level and it’s just a shame that First Light is relatively linear.Personally, I’m hoping some of the more interesting mechanics like bluffing and hacking into things remotely will make it into the next Hitman. If First Light is an experiment for ideas to put in the next Hitman, I feel it’ll have justified it’s existence.
>>739889165It’s a heavily story driven game with lots of cutscenes, so probably most of that time was spent on those. Plus, they overhauled the engine, which adds time too. I went into it expecting a 7/10, so it’s met my expectations, maybe exceeding it in some ways since I was expecting it to be more a generic TPS instead of this weird Hitman-adventure game hybrid.
>>739839824They've been building this engine since the first hitman.
>>739887919Euroepeans and Chinese are natural allies, Paul Janssen, a belgian chemist invented fentanyl, while china made it affordable and easily accessible to any amerimutt that desires it.
The combat and stealth sections are awful.

>>739855815unironically the First Light, it's legit great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA82c4YkAZ4movies only1. Skyfall2. TWINE3. Die Another Day

>>739856029they already tried to revive the "60's spy movie" genre and failed, even with big name in front of camera and behind itpeople want modern era, just not Craig's gritty seriousness
>>739889719It's a shame because this movie was great.
>>739889719I really liked this movie, I'm sorry
I hear you guys say it's woke. How is it woke?
>>739889821Loads of browns, all women are ugly girlbosses, Bond’s a fag. There, now you can wait until the next thread to post this again.
>>739888509>looks inside>up by meagre numberswhew lad
>>739856675guess what retard, people don't mind niggers and jeets as long as they're in niggerland and jeetland and not in the UK
>>739888572I feel like there must be 2 versions of the game or something. The game I am playing is a linear walking sim where I just spend hours following yellow paint and blue tarps with no enemies around. But then people praising the game say they have no idea what I am talking about, and that the game is a mix of Hitman and Uncharted.
>>739889467yeah it's like the "social stealth" type of thing. those parts are fine honestly. they almost feel like a point and click game or something. maybe they should have just made the game a point and click with QTEs, honestly.
>>739851580no its a japanese sub speedgamer
>>739826040it's 70k right now
>>739889165Only a few maps feel Bond. There is a huge inconsistency in the levels. Aleph, Webb Industries, Antartica, and the MI6 sewers are all generic levels they probably bought off an asset store.
Did any of the reviews actually play the game
>>739889409The stealth sections would be better if they weren’t so easy and the AI wasn’t so braindead. The AI feels downgraded from Hitman and their viewcones aren’t as large.
>>739889990praggy was not the chosen oneveilguard is now my best friend
>>739826040Ouch
I want the Chess mission in WOA so bad.
>>739890229Paris and Dubai already exist. I’d rather seen something like Aleph in Hitman.
>7x the Hitman peakYeah, we are never getting another Hitman.
>>739890370Aleph already reuses a lot of assets from Columbia and Mumbai. Not every map Hitman maps needs to reinvent the wheel. Hotel maps are always kino. Plus, there would kino opportunities, such as disguising as one of the players and winning the Chess match, or having one of them get busted cheating to end the match and get them off stage.
Fucking Bros! We are Fucking LOVING this new 007 First Light video game that they gave us! This is what all of us have been absolutely DEMANDING from AAA game studios! If you just Fucking make these games like this we will all win and be successful!
>>739826040>>739890192Stop posting these Fucking Steam charts! Nobody is playing this game on computer, we are Fucking playing it on consoles you Cocksuckers! You Fucking computer nerds are irrelevant in gaming!
>shootouts don’t work, picking up new weapons with no ammo>shooting feels worse than Uncharted 1>stealth sections are too simple>mission progression is too arbitrary>story sections are already falling under the weight up the writing (why was 009 sitting on top of a bomb)The whole thing sis this weird mix of Hitman, uncharted and Arkham Asylum, except none of it working well so far. The tutorial training segment was really well done though with how it jump cut between tutorials.
>>739886138No, ioi don't get my shekels because of my racism, there's a difference.
>>739890463Hey poojeet, you are aware that they changed the name of the game right?
>>739890731No, pc gamers play a wide variety of games. It's only console browns that buy the same flavor of cod, monkey hoop, and gta.
>>739890834The 009 thing will be explained. There are other plotholes later.
This is supposed to be James Bond?
>>739853905Holy shit no one is reading all of that lmao
>>739891109He looks better later in a Tuxedo and suit. But yeah, he spends most of the game dressed like the GTA3 protag and looks awful.

>>739879367I said awOOOOOOOOooooooOooooo cmon baby turn the lights down
>no iconic torture sceneFor what reason? Watching the dumb big bad of the week try and break a man literally conditioned to endure anything without breaking always creates kino
>>739889719I don't think that's really fair since Man From U.N.C.L.E. has gained a pretty big cult following in recent years. It mostly failed at release because it was an obscure IP from half a century ago at the time that wasn't even that popular back in the day. Bond by comparison is a multimedia giant.Also unlike Bond it's kind of permanently stuck in the Cold War era due to the inherent setup. Can't really have a story about an American and a Soviet spy teaming up in the 2020s when the USSR doesn't exist anymore.
>>739853905>Daniel Craig Bond was pretty shitty for the exception of Casino Royalethey also made him canon bi-sexual in-universe and jews gave him a cock-suck scene in another film haha.52:05https://youtu.be/6x5iroNwScU?t=3124
>>739824243fpbp. Bond is a hero from a bygone era.
>>739857523based
>>739892386Because he's a man's man and a womanizer by nature. This is problematic in modern year
>>739891567there is a torture scene I fucking hate you weirdos who don't play games
>>739866225>Fuck it's so so good but still so limited. I only got this game for the melee combat and now I want a sequel for an upgraded version of this melee combat. I hate having this specific autism.>Also they should have simple powered ragdolls in the future. Not full on smart ragdolls like Euphoria but some poses so that they don't become spaghetti right on deathI feel you anon. I hope they take that level of autism approach in the next Hitman because the system from the bond game is clearly the start of something beautiful if they take it to its inevitable conclusion.
>>739889578not a great fan of bnod themes, but this song is solid.
>>739891567There literally is one, you journalist/tourist/AI/whatever you are
This game is boring
>>739892912Go watch Goldfinger
>>739892465Yep. That's why it is selling like shit. They are too afraid to show the bravado and confidence the original Bond had. Bond was a complete womanizer and a sex icon for the strong masculine. Can't have that anymore for some fucking reason.
>>739866225>You can't interrupt attacks with your ownYes you can, what is this nonsense cope?>and it wants you to balance spacing from the enemies with their ability to escalate to a gunfightEnemies barely ever use their guns except in specific scenarios where the game wants there to be a gunfight. It's so blatantly on-rails that there's barely any freedom.>I recently learned that the Combat Design Lead for 007 was an animator on Arkham Asylum and saw the Freeflow Combat system in its inception and worked on it. He left Rocksteady after Arkham Knight and joined IOIWhich means nothing. Animator does not mean that he had anything to do with designing the intricacies of FreeFlow combat and he clearly learned nothing from it if he was there for the Hitman games because Hitman combat is painfully, simplistically dogshit. Avalanche's Mad Max game had no ex-Rocksteady devs yet its melee system was a far better take on FreeFlow than the half-assed bullshit that First Light pushes.I swear the shills for this game get dumber every time.
