I didn't pay much mind to this game because as much as I enjoyed Hitman WoA that last game told me the direction the company was going.
I watched someone play first light to see if it's worth checking out, and it looks like Uncharter and Hitman made a baby. I'm good, I can wait for a sale.
Then they get to the office and you see a black Moneypenny who is now Bond's Diana, and M who is some Indian lady in her early 40s, which makes no sense.
Anyways, I'm not getting this game until someone make a mod that fixes this and make it more accurate to source material.
And I'll ignore said mod and go for the mod where both of them are bottomless and hot.
But it has such complex, challenging and engaging gameplay: https://x.com/MichaelDoesLife/status/2059761887701590419
I'm not gonna defend this game and I didn't get there in the let's play video I watched, the first hour plays like a tutorial and cinematic thing, I'm not a fan of, I think Hitman 2016 the tutorial and then Paris was perfect way to get you into the game without too many cutscenes and expositions.
But that garbage truck part looks like a gameplay set piece thing, and if I were a betting man they either said, when we give the truck hp no one is clearing this thing, let's make it 2026 baby soft bullshit.
If you play on hardest difficulty and you're still able to breeze thru the core gameplay, that would be something I'd take a bigger issue with.
I did see that in the tutorial while running around in training everything is marked to tell you where to go. Not a fan of that.
I think I'll watch the first real mission and if it's just Uncharted, 3rd person CoD and Hitman lite, I think I'm just gonna go load up Sapienza and forget about all about this nasty business.
The only thing I'll admit from the streams I've watched: I thought the "training montage" format of the early tutorial was endearing, but the introduction of MI6 did go on for way too long (or maybe that was the fault of the streamers).
