    I was excited to see a sequel after watching the whole playthrough, but this killed all my expectations. Of course everything has to be enshittified.

    Just another example to show corporations don’t know shit about making games. Literally looking at a good thing and say nope we want to chance fuck this up … “

    Honestly, this was going to be a wait until moderate discount for me since I have such a massive backlog. I guess I'll pick it up now just to support IO Interactive for getting screwed by AI.

    just wait for a discount, no need to support people who already plan to clown themselves by not letting IO make a sequel to first light

    I don’t understand, you’re going to not buy a game that you presumably want developed by one studio because a sequel that does not exist and is developed by another studio because that non-existent, effectively unrelated game might be worse? Why not just get the one good game you want and ignore the games Amazon develops?

    And I won't be buying it then. Great job whoever decided this, saves me 70€ 🙂

    As I understand the current game is developed and published by IO meaning the current Bond money probably goes to IO (as much as the licensed game profits can go to the developer) so I think it's still worth buying. The next Bond games can go die behind a dumpster.

    I mean specifically the sequel(s). The current game I would've already gotten if I didn't have to spend money on something else, but still intending to buy it some time later, looks fun and pretty much exactly what I expected.

    "We do see this continued integration of video and movies and videogames, where that line is becoming much more blurry," Gattis said. "We think that's a real opportunity for us to create IP that extends—or kind of expands upon—TV shows and movies. So there'll be a Tomb Raider TV show on Prime Video that'll go alongside the games. There's a lot of things we have in the works on new games that'll relate to Prime Video IP."

    So it'll only be on consoles then like the horrible Grand Tour game.

    Making a videogame- How hard can it be?

    007: Last Light

    I suppose it’s a little dumb that I’m thinking of buying it now if only to instill a future headline “007: Danger Speaks barely achieves half the sales of its IOI-made predecessor”, and to show support to IOI for all their work on Hitman - even though I never really bought their DLC junk
