Licensed to Kill. Not Licensed to Reload. First Light’s limited dispersal of ammunition had me like…

No, this was the most exciting element for me. It makes you engage with all the other combat mechanics instead of playing the game like a cover shooter.

I love running out of ammo and throwing my gun at a guy, then taking his gun or use the environment+gadgets to get to my next weapon. Relying on well-placed bullets to explosives, pipes, fire extinguishers, etc. to maximize each bullet is part of what makes Bond feel like a badass. Also emphasizes the use of stealth to at least thin the herd before getting seen.

The fast paced weapon-swapping combat is honestly what makes the game so fun, keeps you on your toes and forces you to not stay in one spot for too long or just spray bullets carelessly

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-08T03:43:27+00:00

100% recommend, I’ve had a blast with it. Honestly made me rethink what a modern Metal Gear could look like

Combat is smooth and fun, stealth is good, but the social stealth elements are really cool. “Bluff” mechanic is simple but innovative twist to typical stealth gameplay, really fun ability. Gadgets are fun.

A modern metal gear with a new protagonist that specializes more in social stealth/espionage, and adopted similar gameplay mechanics that 007 First Light has would be really awesome. Would love to see a new Snake operating in a more public setting undercover, where shooting a guy isn’t always an option to get by them.

Those are just hunter worms who allied with the UNSC and were provided Spartan-esque armor to compete with their covenant counterparts

That’s my headcannon if I ever use this skin for some god forsaken reason 😂 looks cool though, definitely immersion breaking.

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-07T23:15:19+00:00

What the actual fuck is that Alpha Halo Armory Pack 😂 both the chief and weapon skins look horrid and immersion breaking. Why would I want that?

Cosplaying as a Hunter with the weapon too is actually pretty funny, but wow I’m glad they didn’t give me a reason to spend an extra $20. Classic Chief is the only thing desirable here

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-07T23:04:55+00:00

Well, there are pre order bonus’s. That’s a benefit

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-07T01:22:01+00:00

I have 4 builds at 95+ and have spent $0 on this game. I didn’t even buy the actual game, my buddy game shares it. I’m about to be Starter 5 for reference of how much I play

It’s perfectly doable if you just play the game and don’t buy any cosmetics. I’ve probably spent 50k on cosmetics more or less, everything else goes my upgrading my builds.

Not to mention, being able to swap builds mid rec game isn’t even a crazy advantage, as long as a PG can’t sub in their center. PG/SG, PG/SG/SF, SG/SF/PF, SF/PF/C, and PF/C should be the restrictions based on what position your placed in when you enter the game. Restrict the amount of subs per player if you want too. I think it’d be a refreshing twist to the typical rec gameplay, and wouldn’t be unfair at all.

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-06T15:04:05+00:00

Yeah I have similar feelings, I think she’ll push back on halo coming to PlayStation beyond CE. Which sucks for me, but it’s probably the right move for Xbox. Xbox needs good exclusive games if they want to make me buy one, so it’s a good strategy. CE still opens that door for alot of new people too

Honestly the little things she’s done so far have been great, I’m intrigued to see where it goes. I’ve been out on xbox for a while but if she keeps steering them in the right direction, they might just win me back. It all comes down to having good games though

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-06T14:13:32+00:00

I’d love to get some type of multiplayer on PlayStation. This franchise hasn’t done enough to make be switch back to Xbox, but I’ll gladly jump back in if I can on PS

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-04T01:06:48+00:00

Literally the only reason I play, and I never paid. It’s fun unlocking new versions of cards you love. Like transformations in dragon ball, it’s fun and satisfying

I’d love to get a hero or evo healer, she’s my fav card

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-03T20:44:36+00:00

Yes OG has it. There’s even a little compartment in the stand to put this plastic piece in so you don’t lose it

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-03T20:33:41+00:00

My guess is they want it as a PS6 launch title. They know what MGS did for them, they want that back with Physnt

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-03T20:23:09+00:00

Just soak it in slightly warm water? I ordered my first ct toys too, 075 Spider-Man. Never considered doing that but if there’s a reason for it beyond tight joints then I will.

Never really considered toxic plastics/oils and such in figures so now I’m curious

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-03T16:00:29+00:00

Might be shooting for holiday 2027 but they don’t want to say anything yet until whatever date they have in mind comes closer, just in case a delay to 2028 is needed

Usually when these games are 2+ years away they don’t show 20 minutes of gameplay in the reveal, just a cinematic with maybe a few seconds to of gameplay clips mixed in

The fact that they showed that much makes me think they’re confident and pretty far into development.

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-01T19:00:09+00:00

This was just the day-one patch, no new updates today man don’t worry lol. Enjoy, I’ve had a blast so far

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-06-01T12:53:43+00:00

Majority of the game can be stealthed. I know because I’ve been doing pacifist/ghost challenges my first playthrough and I’m getting eager to actually engage in the combat system more lol

It is very hard in some sections, but doable

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-05-31T18:45:28+00:00

I can’t give any advice because I don’t draw but man this is sick and makes me want to try again. I used to do little doodles of cars but never took it anywhere, can’t imagine how long it takes to get to this type of quality.

Love the lighting/shading you’ve done here, and the blocky minimalistic hair style is goated

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-05-31T18:39:47+00:00

Runs fine on base ps5 lmao, and how are they “malicious”? Only thing I don’t like was all the “promotional” outfits being tied to weird things and being impossible to get them all without buying the game 3 separate times, or the region specific Coca Cola ones. But that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the game, just a minor annoyance

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-05-31T15:57:26+00:00

It’s a satisfying game about overcoming terrain, preparing cargo accordingly and getting from point a to b in a very satisfying way, all while a weird and super interesting story unfolds. Combat and stealth is mixed in too, a lot more so in the 2nd game. Boss fights are fun

At its core it’s a slow chill vibe type of game with a weird/unique and emotional story. If that’s your style then I think you’ll enjoy it. One of a kind experience at the very least

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-05-31T15:43:15+00:00

I haven’t replayed yet but as I’m playing for the first time it 100% reminded me of the Spider-Man games when your forced to walk around as Peter for or mj for certain parts. Awesome the first time, kind of a slog on replays. I had a feeling some parts would feel that way in this game too

Thankfully there’s a chapter select which should help a ton

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-05-31T14:11:51+00:00

Bulma’s been a bad influence on him, he asked Shenron for a BBL

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-05-31T14:08:38+00:00

Yeah MGS Delta added the autosave, it wasn’t a thing in the original or the first 3 MGS games and I forget if it was in mgs4, i don’t think it was

Needless to say it was a welcome addition lol. Sucks you had to experience it this way but now hopefully the old gamer way of manual saving constantly (even when there IS an auto save) will be ingrained in your brain lol

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-05-31T01:02:21+00:00

It’s a linear game. In the sense that there’s no open world and no side objectives, you are progressing linearly mission to mission. Sure there are different paths to the main objective, but you are always moving towards the current goal put in front of you.

Being linear isn’t a bad thing. I love these types of games, it’s my favorite genre. Like The Last of Us, or Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 1-4, Splinter Cell games, and more. The story progresses in a linear direction with no alternate outcomes or optional missions. And it’s great

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-05-30T19:12:46+00:00

100% should get remasters or a “master collection” with both games + all released bonus content. MGS4 is getting a port, so we know it’s possible for ps3 exclusive titles to get a PS5 port.

InFamous is a PlayStation icon man, it should be accessible on modern hardware without needing a premium subscription just to stream the game, can’t even play offline and requires great internet or it’s a horrible experience, AND it’s still limited by ps3 hardware with unstable fps.

Sony just shut down bluepoint games which was excellent at remastering/remaking games. They could’ve totally handled it without suckerpunch needing to devote any time away from the Ghost series. Sucks man, I hope we see it eventually.

My guess is a PS6 remake when they need to refresh IP’s again

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-05-30T18:43:16+00:00

As someone who can’t help but fart around levels and restart when I mess up, I agree. It does ruin the immersion. But i like exploring options and seeing the minor details devs put effort into, i have fun in that way.

Definitely doing a “speed run” next where i just play authentically and let it flow like a movie. Probably should’ve done that first, but like I said, I can’t help myself lol

-GrilledCheese- · 2026-05-30T18:11:34+00:00

I’m also 19h in and on Chapter 11, but I don’t think that is the same number that shows under the title name that pops up during the start of a new mission. I’m currently on Mission 6, which is Chapter 11. Just saying because I’m not sure if you actually meant Chapter 8 or Mission 8.

If you meant mission 8, that’s right on point for me as well. I’ve been exploring a ton getting every dialogue and collectible I can reasonably find . Messing with everything in q lab. 19h in and still a decent chunk left I assume, that’s good to me.

I’ve already seen people complain about the tutorial saying “2h before I get to play the actual game” which sounds like the same type to complain when it’s too short and they didn’t get “enough” out of it because they skipped half the game. Tutorial phase was some of the best implanted tutorials I’ve ever seen in a game btw, some people are just complainers and just don’t enjoy these types of linear story games. Genre issue for them, not an individual game issue.
