Today’s game is some more 007 First Light. I sunk all my free time today into beating this one. Maybe more time than I should have. I was just really hooked though and wanted to make it to the end.

I do have mixed feelings on how it sweeps the rug out from under the player 3 times towards the end and goes “psych. There’s more”. On the one hand towards the end I really felt myself going “okay. I think I’m about ready for this to end”. On the other hand I did rather like the twists it pulled even if they were obvious. Like, it was fun getting a whole chapter set in the arctic.
Plus the whole thing with the AI, really relevant stuff which I liked. Obviously AI in the modern era isn’t doing all that whacked up stuff. But still. I thought it was pretty relevant.
I will say the whole AI thing felt a little obvious. I wasn’t sure in what respect but I kept seeing books on the “dangers of AI” and “rogue AI” and my first thought was “The AI is fucky”. Admittedly my assumption was that the AI was sentient and running things behind the scenes and pulling strings. But I am glad I was wrong because it subverted my expectations in a way.
I liked Greenway and Jame’s bond. It felt like he provided a parental figure to James, and in a way a friend. I like how they chose to have him grow with James and become close to him.
I also liked the Mega Complex that Webb Industries has. I love big ass mega complex’s like this. From just an appreciation view they’re really cool to see and look around.
I would like to go back and 100% it, or at least 100% it as far as Steam is concerned. I find that’s a good way to really experience everything without going crazy and burning myself out. So I might give that a try. Or maybe I’ll move straight too Uncharted 4.
I liked the game but it felt 1 hour to longer than necessary.

The whole second time with Damien was unnecessary.
Yeah. I did like that section but it felt unnecessary. honestly at first I felt like they were going to do a cliff hanger for a sequel
