I also am understanding of the fact that IOI is a small developer and this was their first game since the management buyout so budgeting was likely tight and they were underprepared for the response. From those who have been able to play it, it is apparently a triumph. I don't really fault them as a company, so to speak, and I certainly don't fault the developers who put their heart and soul into the game. I would certainly never claim this was a money grab or anything like that. #Project 007 ioi OfflineI don't even mind the online features, but there's no reason the game(s) shouldn't be fully playable offline and then just have the progression and leaderboards sync later on if desired. It took them two days to even acknowledge the issue and many are already scrambling for a refund. What happened here though is beyond unacceptable though. I'd even forgive some downtime on the server due to their limited means. I just really wanted to support IOI this time around considering I got the first two games for next to nothing and can appreciate a small developer. Unfortunately, you were absolutely right to avoid it. I would probably still stand by my defense of the gameplay, and indeed the consensus among those who have been able to play it is "best of the trilogy" and tons of compliments aimed at the story which is a first for Hitman in my experience. Me talking about vidja games back in my day: The whole industry seems to think that graphics / refresh rate / map size are what makes good and memorable gaming experiences, but some of my best memories have a lot more to do with story, characters, and visual styles that have nothing really to do with how many pixels are on the screen. #Project 007 ioi fullI long for the days when you could buy a SNES cartridge, shove it in the console and enjoy the full experience offline with absolute immediacy. In a lot of ways I hate what the internet has done to gaming. Really sorry to hear about your experience with the game. The fact that they still run this game "online" at all times is laughable, as it doesn't even curb cheaters or hackers for the most part. Sounds like they had issues with implementing things that they should've done months ago but waited until the last second when there was confusion and frustration going on. That was quite the quick turnaround for you, guess it paid for me to avoid this day one launch, as I feared would be the case. Hopefully Project 007 does not come with this online nonsense. There is no point in playing "offline" because of the challenges and mastery so it's a very bare bones experience. The issue has been acknowledged by IOI and they are apparently working on a fix, but the performance is unacceptable. Most users, especially those on PS4/PS5, are unable to play the game at all simply because it won't connect their profile (myself included). Overloaded servers are one thing and almost expected at this point for online games, but we're going on nearly three days of people simply being unable to play at all. Hitman 3's launch has been an absolute disaster. #Project 007 ioi seriesI woukld love it if IO's series just focused on the post fleming novels we all know we will never get them in film form I would actually be thrilled if we got the games like this I know a lot of Bond fans don't like it, but there are bits that could be adapted well for a video game. Speaking of FAAD, I would like to see them use this, Richard Maibaum and Michael G Wilson's original scripts of Bond 15, and even Jeffery Deaver's Carte Blanche. Maybe for Jean-Paul Scipio, if they use Forever and a Day as a influence or adaption. Brian Blessed would make a great villain. He was another choice! Tom Hiddleston could be interesting as well. When I think of Game of Thrones, Richard Madden would be great, too, in my opinion. He’s known, but not everyone-knows-your-name famous. Kit Harington would be my personal choice. I would also like to see Jon Hamm play him (if they went American). I would be fine With Sean Bean as both the voice and model of Bond
