James Bond will be able to dual wield handguns AND he will be able to put someone into a neck lock while they are both standing on a staircase.
i assume that bond will be to hitman what baldur’s gate 3 is to divinity original sin 2. not in terms of quality but in shared design dna.

the game will be a flop

I plan on buying the game (perhaps even upon launch if the HW requirements and optimisation are favourable), but I don´t do preorders. Ever.

I am excited by what was shown in the trailer, but before I decide to buy, I want to know more. How many levels have mostly scripted interactions and how many feature open sandboxes? Is there an incentive to replay levels? And how buggy will the game be at launch?

Something tells me it’ll be one big bug.
Hope I’m mistaken though
No, and I would like to be able to opt out to any ads inside WOA.

I mean the game looks really fun and I’m probably gonna love playing it. Likely nowhere near the 2000-ish hours I’ve spent across the Hitman trilogy, but it’ll probably be the type of game I enjoy replaying once a year or so like the Uncharted games.
But there’s no point pre-ordering since it’s just a free Deluxe Edition upgrade. By the time of the first or second sale the Deluxe Edition will be cheaper than $70 and be better savings anyway. And they haven’t even announced any FOMO type content for the game like the Elusive Targets, but even if there is that stuff chances are high they’ll give second chances at that content and I won’t be missing out on much by waiting at least a few months.

I have faith the initial game state will be good, but I am not so sure how well the servers do the first days. But even If I had no doubt there too I won’t preorder it. I wont do that anymore for any game.

No.
I haven’t pre-ordered a game since 2010. And even then it was because my local shop routinely went out of stock for big releases, and it guaranteed a copy. (also the owner was chill and I liked going there).
First Light needs more to intrigue me above my current gentle musing of what IOI devs are cooking. Not even a state of the game at release question. It looks neat, but nothing more.
I think if I buy it, it won’t be before the Easter public holidays, if not summer, or even latter on sale.
And if it’s live service, and other “exclusive or fomo skins” I don’t want to engage with it. So even less reasons to rush the purchase, or aim at bonuses.

IOI’s direction of travel further into some of the least welcome practices of AAA and live service video games means that it’s a Wait For Sale for me. They’ve done it to themselves, entirely.

As much potential this has and with it being IO, I am leading towards picking this up around launch but I won’t pre order just on principal alone and also I think it’ll go down in price shortly afterwards.
