Next 007 game should have Honor Blackman’s likeness.

Only if they call her "Pussy" the entire game.

I once told my younger Gen Z cousin the best Bond girl was named Pussy Galore and he refused to believe that name wasn't something I made up. He thought I was trying to trick him.

A bit off topic, but Honor Blackman is one of the villains in a fun Columbo episode, if you didn't know.

Have you seen Blackman at her golden ages?


What a class act, God rest her soul.

At least do your minimum of reserach if you are going to pretend to be a fan of James Bond.

Thank you. I want to touch on that as well. Diamonds are Forever featured Trina Parks as Thumper as the first Black female Bond villain. That goes well with how blaxploitation was on the rise from movies in the 70s. Point is, diversity can work in James Bond with good writing and setpieces.

Instead, people immediately go anti-woke for anything without any prior knowledge to the source material. Just as bad as people wanting to inject modern politics into everything.

Thank you, @Foltest and @Mike Matei's Penis among a couple others for having even a small shred of logic, nuance and critical thinking.

Bro talks about being such a huge Bond fan yet has no idea who Honor Blackman is.

Feel like this is ANOTHER game which is forgotten in 2 years tops. Honestly this NEEDS to be a metric for people, for how likely someone would feel like going back to something a few years later. Its why I basically don't buy shit early on now because hype and figuring out something is mediocre rarely lasts over a a year, but anything good will still be recommended later.

More like 2 months. I don't think this game is woke, but it is very derivative and only exists due to being part of some larger, once huge now culturally irrelevant IP. We've always had games based off of these IPs like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, James Bond etc. but if I mentioned Dark Forces (2), the PS2 Indiana Jones game and Goldeneye, that's enough to get fans to reinstall it.

Modern versions of those games are just $60+ FOTM games with large install sizes, middling gameplay with no real depth and can juat be watched online for the same experience. They're basically moviegames but slightly more interactive but not by much. I wouldn't play them, but if you do, it's best to just pirate them since at least you won't waste money on it.
