Whoever it is, they have the twitchiest aim I have ever seen.
I just wanna start off by saying I'm glad Nintendo got exclusivity for this game, they deserve it.(I grew up with Nintendo and Sony, so pardon the fanboyism.)
I think we're forgetting that most games today are reskinned CoD games, which come on, is it that surprising? Its fracking Activision for christ sakes, thats the only kind of FPS they know how to do, but I digress, its either a reskinned CoD clone or a reskinned Halo clones these days, which in all honesty, Halo: Combat Evolved was a step in the right direction for console shooters after GoldenEye on N64, Call of Duty... Not so much. Everything after 2001 for first person shooters pretty much became trash in terms of story for campaign, but this would be Call of Duty: Done Right Edition, since the story is actually extremely good in single player, especially for a Bond game these days, and all they did for online multi was copy and paste CoD Multi with Bond characters.

I agree with you on that, except Resistance 1. People only thought it was good because it was the first halfway decent FPS on PS3, which at the time was like saying "best multiplayer for a Wii game" =-) Seriously though, Resistance was barely a step above a rail shooter and the story was predictable.Scrumpmonkey said:
I don't mind Daniel Craig being Bond in this. It's not so much to really complain about since before we only got Brosnan's face(Not even that good of a representation, you could substitute George Lazenby in that with ease). I am actually more sad that Sean Bean wasn't able to return to be Alec. But getting Judi Dench as M(um) is always music to my ears.
All things aside it looks as if everything that was loved about the N64 Goldeneye has returned with a bit more glitter....except one thing:
If they somehow worked an homage to that piece of nostalgia in there, I would be shocked, pleased, and giggly.

First off, where have you been, the story for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was absolute shit, not to mention extremely predictable, also, I was talking about console shooters, so Half Life 2 gets ruled out since its usually a PC only played game and is absolute crap on a console. Fallout 3 has the option of being first or third person, but if you're going to put it on there you have to include Morrowind and Oblivion in that list since they're presented in first person format as well, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is PC only, so that rules those out pretty quickly since we're only talking about Console shooters, Escape from Butcher Bay... Come on do we really need to talk about that game, if you're going to use that one at least make it the version that came with Assault on Dark Athena, that was vastly superior to the original or Directors Cut, and actually bearable to look at too, not to mention, did we really need a prequel story to Riddick? Crysis, yeap, PC game, that gets booted off the list next, not to mention they put graphics before everything else in that game, your list is starting to dwindle dude... Hmmmmmm... Lets see... Ah yes, DooM 3... If you honestly believe the story in that was good... Theres something wrong with you, they might as well have called it DooM: The Lights don't Work edition. F.E.A.R., don't make me laugh, that failed as both a FPS and a Horror game, especially with the controls. Next up, Bioshock 2, what is there to say other than they were trying to capitalize on the Big Daddies to sell this game, not to mention the original team that worked on Bioshock had no involvement on it at all, and the storyline did have the same kind of impact as the last one, and I actually enjoyed ripping the ADAM out of the little girls in the sequel, the morality of your actions wasn't clear in that one like it was in the first, not to mention, "OH YOU CAN DUAL WIELD?" well that hasn't been anything new since Halo 2. I think I'll rip The Darkness up next, oh what can I say about this one that hasn't already been said, from the horrible controls to the shitty story, this game was craptacular and shitastic, bit of advice, you want to a game with a character that has a Demon arm, play Devil May Cry 4. The Resistance games... Ah I would have loved them had it not been for them being a simple copy and paste of every other sci-fi first person shooter, basic plot summary: Single american war hero joins up with brits to combat a genetic alien virus that was spawned in... Oh Russia? You guys again? Silly ruskies, always causing trouble for the world. Metro 2033? So now we're talking about the Russian equivalent of Fallout, basic plot summary: Nuclear war with another country causes people to live underground in the Russian equivalent of a Vault dew to mutants and fallout from the bombs. You know I actually liked that game too, but the more I played it the more I realized it was basically Fallout 3: Russian Edition. So I pretty much shot down all but Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(and I've played and beaten the third one), Far Cry, Bioshock, and Fallout 3.Scrumpmonkey said:
Also, don't talk to me about multiplayer, because my response to that is going to be the exact same as Yhatzee's, if you're going to sell a game at full price it needs to be able to stand up on single player alone because there are problems with the multiplayer that the game itself can't help.
Awh thats cute, is that really all you could come back with, elementary grade insults? Awh I'm hurt deep down, really I am, WOUNDED even O____O, how will I ever get over it? Also congrats on misspelling *PIECE* and *ADVICE* two of the probably easiest words to spell in the English language. Either way it just seems you're all pissy now because I shot down nearly all of, what is *IN YOUR OPINION* good shooters, when they are in all actuality mediocre at best, barring the two Metroid Prime games of course, especially since a majority of the games you listed really did nothing for First Person Shooters as a genre at all and are all as generic as the genre they are in.Scrumpmonkey said:
It's the game we thought couldn't exist, by completely throwing away the one unique feature of the Wii and going back to a standard controller?
Speaking as somebody who's seen the film more than fifty times, I have to say how pleased I am that they've taken even more liberties with the script and settings than they did with the N64 version. >_>
Eh, I'll probably pick it up at some point, despite looking pretty much like Call Of Duty 12: Russians And A Sneaky English Bloke Edition.

I was king and master of James Bond: Nightfire with my wavebird, so that won't be much of a problem. Thanks for the answer, anyway.Mr. Fister said:
