@RSM-HQ: Agreed. It's the worst, but it's fine. Almost all the etherial dream-like qualities Grace is describing here, are definitely because the team lacked the competence or the time to make the world more coherent. It could've been entirely coherent and consistent while being entirely imaginary and fantastical. Those things aren't mutually exclusive.
This will be like the 5th project in a row where Todd Howard has brazenly lied to everyone's face so egregiously that it's become a meme, and yet somehow everyone will still believe everything he says, because he's wearing a new jacket or something. Todd is on the same level as Trump and George Santos in that regard. He's one of those guys who lies so much, if they actually ever stopped lying there'd just be nothing left. They'd be an entirely different life form.
I think he would actually. But it would need to be a less goofy Bond film. The Daniel Craig era started off that way, perhaps even too much so, but then by the end we were getting, “I just showed someone your watch. It really blew their mind.” with the strummed EmMaj9 chord.
It would have to be a return to the “gentleman spy” Bond of old, not the action heroes in action movies we've had for so long now. And for that reason, we'll never see it, because the studios won't let it pass without at least 20 explosions.
It's only “volatile” when you're pushing out crap, and/or not letting devs finish their games. But they know all this already.
It was absolutely inevitable that every single greedy games company would move towards the gambling/addiction exploitation direction. In fact as far as I'm concerned it's the litmus test for morality.
