On our 99th episode, we talked about the following topics: - Xbox Game Studios boss Craig Duncan steps down…
It's like starting a car.
I think I left off sneaking into that big building with the guy with the broken arm.
Oh, okay.
The shipyard stuff? Did you go past the shipyard? Okay, yeah.
I'm right at there.
And it's pretty good.
I'm having a really good time.
Although I'm not convinced with the guy as James Bond, but it's also because he's just starting out as James Bond, right? Yeah.
Although one thing I do like about him as James Bond is that they decided to keep that scar on his face, which is book-accurate James Bond.
It's like, It never really bothered me, but it looks a lot more cooler with a rugged James Bond.
Although this one's an air crewman that gets into a James Bond arena, but the original was a commander of a ship who becomes a James Bond.
So slight changes.
But yeah, overall, I think it's a good modern adaptation, which I didn't think was going to be possible, if I'm being honest.
Really? Okay.
Did you ever play the Hitman games?
I did not.
I think the last one I played was Absolution, which is like ages, ages ago.

I know like it has in my opinion like you know for me it's it's usually because like anytime I do a sneak game it always devolves into gun shootout at the end because I'm really bad at it I don't think before I go so that's why this James Bond is absolutely perfect for me because that is how every James Bond movie is.
You know, you start with your sneaky little, and then it devolves into just firefight and like massive explosions, which is, which is very true to my heart.
That's why I'm enjoying this iteration of IOI interactive more than like the hitman stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I like it.
It's not bad, but like I said, it makes me just kind of want to go back and play Hitman.
