I never had an N64 as a kid but when i played this game back in 2002 it was one of the worst aging games i think ive ever seen. Awful gameplay and controls, this shit sucks.

If you weren't a kid when this dropped and never had hours upon hours of 4-player split screen deathmatching with your friends, you will never understand the

Defend playing this on original hardware over emulation.

Let's be real, this game became obsolete as soon as Perfect Dark came out.

Will they ever make another Goldeneye-style Bond game?

agreed licensed games are trash unless they're made in japan

> Games that catered to the market.

pew pew shooty gun

Stop being a fucking boomer and admit this game is best enjoyed on an emulator with a mouse & keyboard.

Why have most of the games from the PS1/N64 era aged so poorly? Pic VERY much related.

What does /vr/ think of this game?

Non-American here, how did this game manage to sell that much? Aside for SM64 (which was a pack-in so it doesn't really count), this is THE best-selling game of 5th gen in North America, way ahead of any PS title (let alone 64).
What did it? Was it the relatively early release, when PS didn't yet take the whole market? Was the hype big for it? Was it remembered in a year-two after its release? Because frankly, I've never seen this game mentioned anywhere before Internet.

>giving a shit about MGS when golden eye exists
Being a PlayStation owner was suffering
Sure tapping on walls and snapping necks was cool but think about all the cool things you can do on Goldeneye

When did it become cool to underrate this game? Just because it's a console game with limited frame rate? That's incredibly stubborn. People need to be reminded that this game hugely innovated and added to the first person genre (and games in general). It's very insulting for PC players to suggest that Half-Life, System Shock 2, Deus Ex, Thief, etc, are the best games ever, but not acknowledging Goldeneye (which admittedly by the developers had direct influence on those games) at all.

GoldenEye 007 introduced gamers to mission objectives, limb-specific shots, sniping, and popularized the FPS genre for console gamers.

It did a lot.

My pers. Favorite is super star wars

>Halo is seen as the start fo the cancer that is the console FPS.

You're talking about the wrong generation, kid. Trust me, there were just as many Golden Eye frat parties back in the day as Halo ones. I can't even count how many I went to. Fuck.

Fuck, PS1 was the console that specifically targeted itself to dudebro non gamer teens/college students.

Games that have significant differences on harder difficulty levels. Different objectives, enemy patterns, endings, etc.

GoldenEye is much more interesting on harder difficulties with the different objectives it gives you.
