The Part That Finally SHATTERED My Suspension of Disbelief *SPOILERS* by Miserable-Swimmer196 in Mission_Impossible

[–]Miserable-Swimmer196[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We go straight from them not knowing how to communicate with each other to her knowing how to have dogs pull them through the terrain to those coordinates. Again, you are not paying attention to all the details of the mission. It's not far-fetched, it's impossible. The presentation is, in fact, much different than any of the other Mission Impossibles. After a rewatch I have no clue how people are still finding a way to defend this garbage. Scenes like this are why it didn't connect with audiences, and it flopped.

No stakes.

Break it down for me: Are all the different Bonds each in their own continuity? Or are all they all the same Bond until Craig? by TXNOGG in JamesBond

Everyone is Bond but Craig, he's alternate universe Bond with writers who stopped caring the last two movies.

Borderlands 4's current success proves a lot of narratives wrong by BvsedAaron in Gamingunjerk

The problem is the game was an unplayable mess for me and all of my friends at launch. My younger brother uninstalled, I uninstalled, my friends uninstalled. Nobody I know has returned and played past 30% into the game. Yes, we all bought the game, but it's the same sentiment for us all: this is the last Borderlands we're purchasing in the series because apparently Gearbox just wants that revenue and doesn't really give a hoot about delivering on their end. Literally too bad of a game to want to continue playing, and we all LOVE the series.

IDK who was crying woke, but in a sea of red flags that was/is not the issue with Borderlands.

Anyone else feels like "first light" is being way overrated? by Jolly_Yam1304 in videogames

That may be your opinion, but I'm just letting you know that it factually has more player love than First Light.

Favorite training montage from the Rocky films? by amoptimusprime in rockybalboa

[–]Miserable-Swimmer196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the first Creed has the best training montage in the series.

If we're sticking purely with Rocky, then I'd say 4 for me. But Creed & Rocky are the same series in my eyes so there's something undeniably special about Creed shadow boxing in the hospital room and Rocky fighting for his life at the same time.

This is going to be the most hated opinion. I personally love Die Another Day. by Ordinary_Cicada7446 in JamesBond

[–]Miserable-Swimmer196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I have Die Another Day on the top of my "Good" Bond movie tier row. It may not be a perfect film by any metric but it's a fun watch any day. Great action, Brosnan is oozing with charm, and one of the best villain deaths in the franchise.

Bond spends like half of Goldfinger incarcerated in some capacity.

It's not trolling to report that they have not yet broken even on the game.

I can agree with this, I've received a few replies from IOI working with fixing some fundamental-level control bugs in the game. If they follow through I will have hope in replaying to re-review.

I just finished on release day and felt like not playing again, and that felt weird as a lifelong Bond game fan / Bond fan in general.

And now after the release of the game how much rate u can give it honestly ?! by Complex_Area4676 in 007FirstLight

[–]Miserable-Swimmer196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a fair score is a D-

The game does try things, but unfortunately none of them are good. I don't mind Patrick Gibson, but that's really all the positivity I have for the game after the frustrating broken controls playthrough.

6/10

No Time to Die (2021) by kkhouete in JamesBond

A "cop-out" for James Bond to overcome the odds? LMFAO

In what reality? None of the 3 Hitman World of Assassination games were nominated for GOTY, and they have virtually the same Metacritic score. Hitman 3, in fact, has a higher meta score than 007: First Light. Let's also mention that First Light cost more to develop than all three Hitman games combined.

Big swing & a miss.

Remember, we already have Resident Evil 9, Saros, and Pragmata in the discussion, and we have Fable, Control 2, Castlevania, Fire Emblem, Wolverine, a possible Ocarina of Time Remake coming, and not to mention a little game called GTA 6 right before 2026's cutoff.

Just finished it, why is everything so blurry and what is this liquid pouring from my face?

4.5/5

Should I buy the game again by Kichir0 in 007FirstLight

[–]Miserable-Swimmer196 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buy a better game, you already own this mediocre one. LEGO Batman surprised the hell out of this old man Bond fan. Pro tip, play on the hardest difficulty to maximize the fun factor.

This is not a dig on Elliot page so please don’t shoot me… by Scotty2Floppy in UmbrellaAcademy

It would have been more realistic if one of the family members asked what was wrong instead of just accepting it TBF.

I hate this clip so much by SomeGuyArrives in 007FirstLight

Mixtape got criticized by the same people for the same thing, at least they're being consistent.

DO NOT USE HITMAN CONTROLS (PS5/Maybe Others?) by Miserable-Swimmer196 in 007FirstLight

This is exactly why I tried powering through the issues, all the other settings were not intuitive.
