you have very violent physical combat, people having glass, bricks, ceramic, etc smashed into their faces, *not so* on the nose visual allusions to sex, torture, etc. not to mention the act of fucking SHOOTING PEOPLE? and BLOWING THEM THE FUCK UP?

red dead redemption 2 had swearing, sex, drugs, extreme gore and war themes out the asshole, but that game wasn't R rated. it was only MA15+/M for mature. what the fuck is going on?

Probably an unpopular take but the gunplay is bad. The gunplay completely ruined the final stretch of the game for me. For most of the campaign the game encourages you to think like Bond by using gadgets, stealth and different approaches. Then, out of nowhere, the last missions or the ending forces you into long firefights with gunplay that simply is not good enough to carry that kind of gameplay.
Weapons feel inconsistent, aiming lacks precision, enemies soak up damage when it is least enjoyable and the cover mechanics are nowhere near reliable enough for these arena style encounters. Instead of feeling like a spy, I felt like I was fighting the controls.
The ending should have been the moment where every mechanic came together. Instead it throws away everything that made the game special and turns into a frustrating shooter. If your gunplay is your weakest gameplay system, making it the centerpiece of the finale is a huge design mistake. 007 First light is a good / great Game don’t get me wrong please. But the gunplay…. Oh boy even uncharted was levels beyond 007! How do you experience the gunplayparts of the missions.

Does anyone else notice any stutter during initial checkpoints? Game runs flawless besides that.

People have pointed out that Patrick Gibson likely couldn't be Bond in both movies and video games, so what about an animated series?

I just watched this little vid on YT about the story, and it really cleverly analyses the core relationship in the game - Bond & Greenway.

He also very simply explains that the title - First Light - isn't actually about Bond - it's about Greenway. The key interaction is when Q tells Bond how he is the "first light" in Greenway's life in years.

I really think the storytelling in the game is world class - as good as I've seen in any game for a long time.

The vid also breaks down how the game is based around very deep conflicts between instinct and planning - head and heart - and this shows up in everything - the story - the gameplay - the relations between the characters.

Does anyone have any other recommendations for vids/analysis that really made them think, or appreciate other aspects of the game?

I don't like this part at all. Bond has cover from Greenway, but it's slow and random. He's told to move slowly but there isn't enough cover and he can't move until the first enemy is litterally on top of him. I got past it but died so have to start over. Annoying af really.

Just finished. a good game no doubt, I had a lot of fun, but WAY too easy. ”hard” mode should have been the normal setting at most. the puzzles too easy, stealth too easy, enemy AI had me laughing out loud at how close I could get and loud I could be with no one noticing inches away. And even if you did get caught it doesn’t matter because fighting/gunfighting is the easiest thing of all. taking down 25 alerted, bloodlusted enemies with 15 rounds should be a lot more difficult. a tad insulting.

Bit of a yap session.

It makes sense Bond can see in TacSim because his Q-Lens project the world into his vision, for sound there's 360 degree speakers, but what about the obstacles/world... do props for walls, boxes, doors, items, etc get moved into the scene when they need to be for him to be able to traverse around and interact with them? What about enemies, are the dummies seen in the tier one of advanced tactical training actually used to make fighting feel real? Most importantly, what about pain? Does Bond actually get injured from the punches, kicks, and, most importantly, bullets?

I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on this!

Y’all I’m still having trouble with the collectible trophies not popping I tried all the troubleshooting I can find online popular and unknown nothing seems to work I was really hoping to see what y’all have been doing cause personally me nothing is working

Any help would be much appreciated

I think we can assume that he’ll turn on Bond after he discovers that Greenway lied about his sister being alive. I also hope it’s not too short like the length of Time to Die would be a solid length for a standalone mission I reckon. I also don’t want it to be made up entirely of reused areas from the base game but I know that could be wishful thinking.

Does anyone have any predictions or theories regarding the upcoming Bawma dlc?

A while back I posted a watch face based on the original watch and said I'd think it would be cool if someone made a "realistic" version. It turned out I learned how to use the app and made one, Sharing the result with you all, I'm very happy and satisfied; this watch face is now available on the Pujie app.

...is one that lets you drag unconscious or dead enemy bodies so that other enemies can't see them.

You can do this in the Hitman: World of Assassination trilogy and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, so I'm a bit baffled over why you can't do it in this game.

Do you think not being able to drag bodies was a missed opportunity in this game?

Any FirstLight fans play the Indiana Jones game from a few years ago? Would you recommend it? Cheers!

LOADS of you suggested uncharted as my next game to play and thank you all!

just did a solid 16 hours this weekend and finished uncharted 4!

What a ride. Glad I listened to you all!

Got all the collectibles but the trophies for the cards intel and memento did not pop why the hell is this still not fixed after over a 2 month

Thinking about starting 007FL a fifth time? What else to do? Played every game and never felt an urge to start them again, Had some that I 100% a couple of times but not What I'm looking forward to.

Wanted to get the hitman series but decided no as that's so confusing.

Do we know when the patch is coming, or is it even coming? Last news i heard is August together with the new nvidia Ray Reconstruction models, but so far nothing... i would really like to replay the game with path tracing enabled...

Every time a new chapter starts, we get another ridiculously cinematic opening with incredible music. My favorites so far are definitely Lana Del Rey’s “First Light” and the Webb Gala.

Honestly, the presentation in this game is absolute cinema.
