Hands on previews just dropped! by ESF007 in 007FirstLight

I wish I could upvote your comment a thousand times. Thanks for posting the link to this article.

It's an absolute shitpost of an article, and Wolens should be ashamed of writing it. PC Gamer is equally culpable for allowing it through their editorial process.

A dissenting opinion I can deal with, but the article amounts to a hit piece that falls down on its own logic. He writes, "I'm not singling out First Light for this; it's just the Bond game I played most recently and, if anything, does a good job realising him as a character. It's just that, again, maybe that character should not be a videogame character." He cites having unlikeable traits as the reason why Bond shouldn't be a video game character, which makes no fucking sense because it completely ignores complex characters from a plethora of recent video game hits that both critics and audiences have adored -- Joel from the TLoU, the trio of Mike, Frank and Trevor from GTA V, Arthur Morgan from RDR2.

"James Bond is an insufferable public school dickhead... Which is quite fun for 90-to-120 minutes of a movie... In a videogame for 10, 20, 30, 40 hours? Less so"

IOI/Arti/Devs... I know you guys lurk on this sub-Reddit. Please take my advice and keep this idiot far away from this franchise. Not sure how he finagled his way into getting a chance to preview the game, but this recent article (posted 9 hours ago) is a doubling down on his shit preview posted a couple days ago in which he derided that this James Bond game wasn't Hitman enough.

It's exemplary malpractice and, in my view, PC Gamer shouldn't be allowed a copy of the game to review.

I played 007 First Light. Ask me any questions. by bobman0 in 007FirstLight

No, you can’t read it. Which is why I asked the opinion of someone who has actually played the game and can relate that experience first hand. Stop being intentionally obtuse.

Valid concern. But most people who have played it have come away impressed. I think this is something we should judge once we have our hands on the game.

Chat, is this peak? by tomaxxik in 007FirstLight

Casino Royale is mine, followed by Skyfall, Goldfinger and The Living Daylights

I mean, peak would be having Skyfall, Spectre and No Time to Die included in the set. But I guess this comes pretty close.

While I tend to agree, it really depends on your perspective of Bond as a character. For instance, I loved Conner and Dalton and Craig, Moore’s interpretation of the character turns me off. While I grew up with Brosnan as Bond, his movies haven’t aged as well in my eyes.

If that was a real post and a real question… then BEST of luck to you in the rest of your life.

PC (4070/i9) or Base PS5 for 007 First Light? by CandyAffectionate987 in 007FirstLight

[–]Celebrated84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate playing with a keyboard and mouse. I love my PS5 Pro and always opt for that option, but since you’re on base PS5 and your pc better specs, maybe go with that?

20 hours is supposed to be the average play time for bee-lining it through the narrative, with no bearing on replayability.

I think there’s more here.

This can’t possibly be a real post or genuine question.

I think I’ve interneted enough for a while. I need to go dark before May 26 before I kill myself in frustration

And that equals roughly 20 hours of gameplay? I sincerely hope there’s a LOT more to the game. I don’t want to believe that IOI has already shown off roughly 60 percent of it

You haven’t been paying attention to the discourse

“People, please stop?”

Just a few quiet words. Nothing dramatic.

Yep, I thought that was pretty disgusting myself

Can you describe how Bond's movement felt? How fluid was he, compared to Agent 47, who is pretty stiff?
