Topic: 007 First Light

"Annoyingly going to have to try and sell the game and make my money back now but at least I know that the game is bad beyond the tutorial now"

Do you normally like this type of game i ask as most reviews i have seen have been positive

I thought the game controlled/played extremely well, the shooting was a personal high light if I'm being honest, my biggest gripe are the drving sections as they just on rails, not sure how they could improve on them, maybe make more routes?

Now I know Lennie James is in it I'm almost sold.

It may be just my experience but they haven't gone overkill on ammunition I always seem to run out and have to back track to find discarded guns, this again is a big plus for me as it stops you running round like a headless chicken firing endlessly.

Just going to leave this here for no reason 👀

Sometimes people feel a bit 'try hard' with their complaints, I find.

From what I gather Tac-Sim is an 'in-universe' (in-gameworld) VR facility that uses previous mission data to reconstruct maps so that you and other agents can train by completing objectives with altered enemy density, placements, weapon load-outs and gadgets etc.

For the player it is a way to replay missions, experiment and do things differently with alternate routes, load-outs, altered rules, different levels of enemies, etc, I think.

It isn't something that I usually look to do in games, but it is probably for people that like the new Hitman games and will, I assume, work in a similar way to those sandbox replays the hitman games have.

@Ravix That does sound like the Hitman trilogy from i/o makes sense. I preferred replaying missions though with different ways of taking the target down either way sounds like First Light is worth a punt next week if I complete Yotei by then.

Obviously having only completed 25% i cannot comment on the full game but so far the ledge shuffling and climbing has taken up little of my in game time and its inclusion is definitely a plus not a minus.
"methinks the lady doth protest too much"

@Oram77 Give the cars more traction and play more with the cameras (use shaky cams, allow more environmental distruction etc). It's nuts that no car section has beaten Uncharted 4's Madagascar chase yet. First Lights vehicular sections feel static in that regard.

@cainhurst94 Naughty Dog cooked with that section. I know there is a lot of comparisons between the two franchises but yes First Light really could have done with something like that. The boat chase is truly just a sad state of affairs in my humble opinion
