Games lenght was perfect for this type of game. Any more would've been bad
Well there's that, and there the trilogy yet to cover so there's only so much they can put in this game, some say the game isn't worth its asking price as of now, due to its length, but in any case I am looking forward to checking it eventually, I just need to get onto Bloodstone first...a.s.a.p

I dont think anyone has a problem with some games being shorter, but more price your game accordingly. I mean read the Steam forums and the no.1 problem people seem to have is the price. With whether the game is woke or not 2nd lol.
Whether you like it or not, think its right or wrong, gamers these days expect more bang for their buck.
 
Length was more than enough

For me a game's worth is not about length, it's about satisfaction. Regardless of length if the overall experience was satisfying then game was worth the money.

I don't see the political correctness in this either. I'd even claim this game tackles a "diverse" (that word has garnered tainted connotations these days) cast well. The narrative is above the characters, not the characters are above the narrative. There's a good nuanced and natural dynamic between them in their exchanges and as the story progresses from what I could tell. Some people are cherrypicking certain moments and aggrandizing them to make some point about blatant examples of political correctness.

People who complain that Bond is being bossed around by specific characters may have forgotten Sam Fisher was also bossed around by his chief.

The game has nothing woke tbh otherwise I would call it out. Maybe a couple of women can come across a bit bossy at first but I like how the writers made Bond always ignore their commands and he does what he wants.

Its actually refreshing because it goes against the ideology of women being in charge. Bond is the one in charge not them lol
As another person who calls most games woke, this game is absolutely not. It is shocking to play this game in 2026. If I had a PS5, I would buy it again. I may just start buying copies and gifting it.
 
Game is a letdown graphically on Pro compared to what IO was promising initially! Software rtgi instead of hardware rtgi and no rt reflections like they said it was going to have!

Same software rtgi and settings as base except we get 60 fps at a higher resolution and pssr, which doesn't save the IQ from having a lot of noticeable flicker and shimmer.

Pretty sure they had also claimed it was going to have a higher base resolution than 1080p at one point.

Yeah, its base Quality mode at 60. But that's not great when they were promising much better settings than what we actually got. Base can do 60 at 720p, right? I could be happy if we had 1080p but with the "advanced rt" that expected for months, up until days before when Digital Foundry ran the typical damage control where they completely ignore the elephant in the room (the downgraded features) while giving it a thumbs up.

Am I the only person annoyed about this situation? I see a lot of people happy with so I expect some hate is coming my way but it is what it is.

How many times does he gets saved by the womxn girlboss? I haven't finished the game, but I read spoilers while looking for woke trash.

Lecturing people about playing games for challenges in the OT and confessing here that you haven't even played it while spouting second hand nonsense.

Gonzito Gonzito are you seeing this shit bro?

Putting dumb gifs won't hide your tears, retard. And yes, I still think you're pathetic if you play on easy to feel like 'badass'.

The only place you should have looked at for trash was your own post history.

Curious how would you rate the game? How was the gameplay? I'm interested in getting the game but it would be when it has a price drop on it
For me the spy section when you have multiple ways tackle is fun but unfortunately I just wasn't biggest fan of the actual combat….both the shooting and melee combat just never felt good.

That little sizzle reel at the beginning is pretty pathetic. Seems like the game is basically on rails and the AI is braindead. This youtuber is controversial and I don't agree with a lot of his opinions, but does make good points sometimes.

Is it woke or not? Is the cast "diverse" with annoying girlbosses and sassy black ladies?
I didnt found it woke....but everyone has different standards in that question. Moneypenny is black and M looks indish. But this game plays in todays London...so its not very unbelievable. ;) Young Bond is cool as fuck and whores around with pretty "nice" women...as you would expect him. All character designs are spot on imho....and the dialogues are pretty good as well...zero cringe fest! I was honestly surprised....I didnt expect that.
 
I'm about half way through the game (based on comparison to YT walkthrough) and think it's kinda mid. The gameplay is not all that great with braindead enemies and nearly on-rails sections like people have already said. The intro sequence and the tutorial were great though, and I think if someone were basing their opinion on the first 2-3 hours then I could see why there would be a lot of favor thrown its way.

You're like the worst kind of gamer. Just a perfect example. You watched some shitty clickbait video on Youtube and made a judgement based on it. The game is not on rails. There's a handful of short on rails sections but the majority of the game takes place in massive, open-ended, non-linear levels that each have several different ways to accomplish the objectives. I can't think of a more "pathetic" waste of time than letting yourself get baited by clickbait trash on Youtube.
