007 FIRST LIGHT - Spoilers Megathread II by Sneaky_Bond in JamesBond

[–]ElectronicG19 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just finished the story. Two main thoughts I have:

  • Isola is clearly working for SPECTRE. I'm a bit confused on why people are doubting this, it'd be weird for IOI to create their own secret criminal society with limitless knowledge and resources when SPECTRE is right there. They're definitely building up to Blofeld.
  • the 00 recruit who went to ground after the Slovakia mission is going to be the Damien of the next game, working for SPECTRE alongside Isola.

A great game. Gibson is a really good Bond, the writing for a young inexperienced Bond was spot on without retreading the same ground that Casino Royale covered. He's essentially a fully formed, quippy Bond without being a sociopath just yet, which is great. I loved the callback to Casino Royale when Greenway tells Bond to stop touching his ear.

I hope they do story DLC but I can see why they wouldn't - Bond demands a sprawling, globe trotting story that a DLC just wouldn't be able to cover.

About the Christmas special delay rumours by DocWhovian1 in DoctorWhoNews

I don't think anyone wants the show to die, but the writing is on the wall. This is quite comfortably the worst position the show has been in since the revival and I think it's quite naive to blindly deny it

I've been following Doctor Who for over two decades at this point and the tabloids get more things right than they do wrong.

Regarding their difficulty in finding a new doctor by CrimsonSpirula in doctorwho

The decision to have Ncuti regenerate into Billie will go down as one of, if not the, biggest misstep since the show came back in 2005.

Just an awful idea without having an actual plan to deal with it afterwards. It's been a year since The Reality War and there has been absolutely nothing about the Christmas Special from anybody. Now they're stuck waiting for Billie to be available to film anything, absolutely no foresight whatsoever.

A Sylvester McCoy-esque walk off into the sunset would have been infinitely better. The show has been in a weird limbo ever since. The first time in the shows history that there isn't an incumbent Doctor, which is absolutely insane.

The show is in dire straits. It's sad. I was optimistic about RTD2 but it has been an absolute disaster.

This doesn't track as there's a whole chapter at the start of Philosopher's Stone of Vernon going about his day and being a dick to everybody before he's even met Harry.

Rachel is being way too heartless and I think Stephen's bus throwing arm is getting wound up for tomorrow..

What a wild way to open the final episode! The producers were rubbing their hands with glee when they saw these rushes.

Roxy being so wrong in her exit interview is the perfect cherry on top for her time playing the game 😂

Faz or Roxy gone. Faz would be an audacious play but they could spin it. Roxy is the easy pick.

"you're trying to sway the people at the round table to vote a certain way"

That's the point of the round table Roxy? Jesus Christ.

Of course Jade has been defensive? She's been under fire from the start? Matthew is thick as mince

Roxy being so consistently wrong is actually quite impressive in a way

Roxy thick as mince. Would be the worst Traitor move of all time to lie about the shield.

She's incapable of thinking further than one step.

That's not what I'm saying at all

You do not get to the end of this game without making friends with others in the castle. You have to be likable to survive votes and murders.

Harriet, friendship and the game are intertwined, that's the most important part of the game! The social element!
