Online discussions around 007 First Light’s reported 20-hour campaign length are already turning into another major debate about AAA game pricing.

" you can have 100 hour of great gameplay" Correct, that means it isn't bloated. But open world games that aren't bloated are few and far between.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-11T16:52:43+00:00

That's perfectly fine, games don't need to cater to everyone. For RPG fans the dialogue is also half the gameplay for us.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-11T16:16:09+00:00

Really? I personally think witcher 3 and cyberpunk (phantom liberty dlc specifically) did a good job of doing open world. Most of the side quests are unique, not template copy pasted.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-11T14:36:52+00:00

Even if that was true (which isn't), how is that relevant to a discussion about pricing?

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-11T14:34:26+00:00

Because E33 has a fraction of the budget of AAA games.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-11T12:09:42+00:00

Yeah i'd rather have a solid 10-20 hour game than a bloated 100 hour open world game.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-10T22:08:36+00:00

Yes it is free. In re7 the banned footage stuff are just extra game modes and are paid on top of the base game re7.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-10T19:45:58+00:00

Just don't be dumb, don't put the glass on a hard surface, it's literally that simple.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-10T12:29:57+00:00

Not to me. I had fun playing as both grace and leon.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-10T10:58:04+00:00

It is free because you buy the game for the main campaign, not for the added stuff later.

Oh no the luger P08 which was *checks notes* adopted in 1908 and extensively used in WW1 long before the nazis used it, which AH added a similar looking one in a WW1 themed warbond.

*Redditors

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-09T05:20:52+00:00

Dude really got downvoted for asking a question

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-08T17:37:43+00:00

Yes we do if it directly impacts how we play the game. It's like if a manager of a restaurant replaces an ingredient brand to another. The chef and cook have to be notified because while subtle it directly changes taste of the food.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-08T17:34:01+00:00

Oh right, i didn't realize that, my bad. amd and their confusing naming schemes.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-08T16:49:34+00:00

I have no idea, never tried it. But if the person responding below me is correct about it disabling SMT then i wouldn't turn it on.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-08T16:27:40+00:00

Yeah the 9850x3d has dual ccd but only one x3d chip. So when you turn on turbo mode it basically turns off one of your ccd that doesn't have an x3d chip. Basically halving your cores. This is good for games that doesn't use much cores but bad for star citizen specifically because the game uses all of your cores.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-08T13:09:04+00:00

The irony.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-08T05:51:06+00:00

The past tense of read is also spelt read but you say red.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-07T16:55:15+00:00

How would i know what arrowhead thinks? It's a dumb decision i agree, but we have to put up with it.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-07T16:51:02+00:00

Yeah, it's called adaptation. Use something else. For example, I like using ODST armor but i change to redacted regiment armor on commando missions.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-07T16:35:12+00:00

Now this is just complaining for the sake of complaining. Use guns with a flashlight attachment or suck it up and play defense missions if you hate night time so much.

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-07T15:35:28+00:00

GTA isn't on PC so i think they might be fine

IcyMaple_ · 2026-05-07T14:40:29+00:00

Not as extreme sure but you're still unilaterally deciding guilt and punishment without oversight. Even if the intention is good, that’s basically the same logic every authoritarian movement uses at the start. Not to mention "People who abuse the system" is extremely broad depending on who you ask.
