Don't wanna get my hopes too high but this actually has the potential to be the best Bond game yet. Fingers crossed...
i agree, looking forward to this
It will be really hard to surpass Goldeneye but other than that, the bar for Bond games is pretty low lol
Honestly I can't even get excited for a Bond game after Goldeneye. That game was absolutely legendary in a way that only a handful of other games have ever been in video game history. I'd rather just play the dated Goldeneye than any new Bond game haha
Very true. Goldeneye is so legendary that it seems like it's almost impossible to surpass.
goldeneye a perfect 10!
Pretty much! It's a bit dated now but it will always be seen as one of the all time greats.
Gameplay did not impress me. Not planning on getting this one until 2030 when it's $20, otherwise I'll just stick with Hitman 3 until then.
Tbh it looks a bit unpolished but at least it's honest. Hope it turns out well.
This looks like one of those action games we used to get like 15 years ago. And that's great news.
Looks like fun, if the final game is solid I'll grab it for sure.
Is this one of those 3 Titles that Will have a 7 this Nintendo Direct week?
$70 US but £60/€70 is unusual but even Shop based rewards? What is this 7th gen again?
