007 First Light - Reviews Thread

Snagged one of the two copies at my local best buy.

Gamefly shipped mine yesterday, hopefully they continue their two day streak for new releases and I get it in the mail tomorrow.

They royally fucked up Lego Batman, still not shipped even though it was game locked. Their support rep says they ran into lost shipment for their warehouse.

I had some BB rewards points so burned those on 007 and skipped Gamefly this time. If I had known how well the game was going to be received, I would have locked it in, but at this point it would probably be a week before I got it.
 
I'm 5.7hrs into it and I really am not feeling this Bond. He is pretty characterless. I know what people say about the animations are poor; compare this to Uncharted 4 and you'll see it is very backwards.
The over-use of "woke" stuff... I see where people are coming from, but oh well. It's their game and i'll play it the way they designed it. Remember the end of No Time to Die? Was setting it up for a black woman 007, if memory serves me correctly. *boooooooooooooooom*

Black Snape, black Helen of Troy, black Bond... can't wait 🤡
 
The ai also sound dumb as fuck unfortunately.

Yaah not trusting these scores until i play the game.

I nave a minor surgery tomorrow so i'm forced to stay home for 7-10 days, i hope the game is at least decent so i can keep myself occupied.
If you don't trust the scores, why did you buy it? Either the reviews mattered enough to affect you, or they didn't matter at all.
 
If you want to be offended by every game being woke, you can find it in every game. The problem is, there are horribly woke games and it ruins those games. In my first 5 hours, Bond has already been with one woman. Nothing in the game feels forced and I am not seeing any preaching. I am only 5 hours in, but I have a good feeling about the game. They seem to have remained true to the Bond license. The game takes place in modern UK, so there is going to be diversity. It is not like Bond is a black lesbian or something. There are beautiful women everywhere, and even "the woman in the red dress". This game is about as based as you could possibly hope to get in 2026 considering Amazon is involved. Perhaps Jeff Bezos is a Bond fan and demanded they stay true to the character and setting.

I saw some uncutted gameplay and i dont expect anything more than a fun but forgettable 7\10 romp, for 48 euros i can risk.

I fundamentally like tps with stealth, and hearing that the game is more hitman than unchy from people in here also contributed positively.

I was also undecited between this one and black flag because i though bf was out like next week but apparently it's out in july :lollipop_grinning_sweat:

I didn't readed a single review for the game, i don't give a fuck about reviews.

Is diversity such a bad thing? (Just out of curiosity...) Even if not forced, but I can imagine if the producers/directors of the next Bond MOVIE, were bold enough to go for a Bond who wasn't white, then the uproar would be huge...
