Comic book shit.
You can hack grenades with the Q-lens. Reminds me of Batman hacking guns in the Arkham games. Dumb as hell. How? Why do the weapons have electronic safeties? How complicated is that mechanism in the weapon?
You can also shoot grenades out of the air. Who is this, Aiden Pearce, Max Payne or James Bond?
The James Bond in Everything or Nothing had to be by a railing in order to throw the enemy over. I'm watching this Bond push people to railings and walls over and over. They look so submissive, all walking many paces backwards for him for no reason. Like they have no strength.
4:46, the player talks about it like it's a positive as he abuses it for about a minute, apparently not realizing how stupidly overpowered and cartoonish it is.

I don't know why developers do this. You play Uncharted or modern Tomb Raider and Nathan or Lara reach out to feel whenever passing a wall or low platform. But they pass them all the time, so their arms go reaching everywhere.
Okay, watching this video I found out that you CAN shoot while crouched. You can also swap shoulders with aim + face button. Ideally, swapping should be a single button press, but since he can't shoot from the hip anyway...

007 First Light review - a flowing thriller that blends occasional sandboxy spying into an exotic rollercoaster ride
This is our review of 007 First Light.
www.rockpapershotgun.com
Okay so what I’m getting from this, is that you don’t think James Bond: First Light is a game for you. Alright fair enough.
I want you to do something for me; I want you to search the various video streaming sites and upload platforms for a television show called The Sandbaggers. Should only be about 20 or so episodes across three seasons. I want you to sit down and watch them. Binge or not. I think they may give you a dose of what you’re after.

It’s not objectively shit. Aside from anything else, objective means entirely factual and without bias or emotion. A fine thing for an investigation or scientific study but much harder to apply to entertainment beyond pointing out obvious fuck technical ups such as incorrect procedure or uniforms in military dramas for example.
It is subjectively shit, for you, and you’ve backed up your opinion outlining why. Well done, have a cookie and a cup of tea and go watch that television show I recommended.
I will get the chance to find out if I agree with your assessment or not in a few months.
Hey, can I ask you a question? And you need not answer it, if you think I am prying into something that is not any of my business:
Are you happy? With your life in general?
I ask because I see you frequently post takes in these threads that offers only negativity, and they are takes that are so frequently at odds with what other people are saying that it looks like you are looking for reasons to be upset. And I ask because I want you to be happy. I do. I want you to find joy in the endeavors you undertake. There have been times when I've felt like everything is crap and finding myself unwilling or unable to find joy in things because of external circumstances, so I might be projecting onto you, but if there is any truth to my projection maybe that is something to look into? Being miserable all the time is no way to live life.
Of course there could be a myriad of other reasons present, like you might only chose to focus on the negative aspects in these threads while liking them overall or you are actually onto something that the others fail to see or you might have fallen out of gaming and are just continuing as a force of habit or I have just not paid closely enough attention to your posts, so I could very well be way off course.
I found some awesome guides to betting better brawlers or a casual guide. Both videos are 3 and 4 years old respectively.
The developer explanation for being unable to move bodies makes even less sense now. (Of course he was moving bodies in the movies, even if we didn't see it.) So you have to face-palm rush the weak submissives off cliffs and buildings where they won't be found, which would let them scream as they fall and alert the others anyway. They can't swim back to land?
The excessive Watch Dogs style hacking does not belong and would not work. How is a hack supposed to turn a vacuum cleaner (2:45) switch from Off to On? I can tell it's not a "smart" vacuum cleaner because it has no display. Instead of nonsensically hacking grenades and shooting them out of the air like Max Payne, I would have preferred to throw them back or dive to the floor.
3:04, he talks about shining a laser watch in someone's eyes to momentarily disorient them, but the person is turned away!
How would the Q-lens show if a guard is immune to the bluff mechanic? Even if a person's whole personality was transmitted in their body language and facial expression, the guard at 4:49 is turned away and the ones at 4:57 have their faces hidden by hats from where Bond is. (You can't put technology that advanced in a contact lens. What powers the lens? It's too futuristic and silly for Bond.) Bluffing blindly would have at least added some risk.
Or, instead of bluffing blindly, let the players judge for themselves if the guard is gullible as they listen to him and watch how he carries himself. The Q-lens is too easy. Games rely too much on heads up displays.
Edit for a great response:
"Bond is all about high risk, high reward. XXXXXXX around with a gadget to make sure his bluff doesn't fail before he even makes the attempt doesn't fit the character at all."
Yeah about that. I went over to the Steam page for a second for a loom and according to the blurb, Bond is starting this game as a naval airman. Now the closest role I could find for that in the Royal Navy is someone who handles aircraft on the deck of a carrier. Which includes firefighting skills, working around live ordinance, jet engines etc. Now this does give a man some serious nerves of steel and fitness and the ability to think and react well under pressure. But while this is a high risk job, it doesn’t sound like one that encourages high risk individualism.
Now this is interesting because previous James Bond’s have been officers in British Naval Intelligence (Fleming’s books I think) and former Special Boat Service (Craig era) which would be much more conducive to high risk high reward behaviour.
Which is a weird decision, I think.
Is this your first ever video game?
Plenty of great games have come before this one where you could trap enemy AI in simple loops by abusing simple moves.
What is this bullshit? I know most millennials and zoomers don't know how to tie ties. I don't. (I never attended a wedding or funeral.) But why would you acknowledge that in James Bond? James Bond doesn't have to be us; he is supposed to be better than us.
Edit: "Didn’t NuBond serve in the British Royal Navy? He would have undoubtedly had to known how for evening formal wear."
Oh, and British school boys wear ties.
