Goldeneye 007

This game is terrible.My brother plays obsessively online, but I don't get it. It controls like ass, the guns don't have any oomph to them, looks like crap, and the maps are all absolutely terrible with the exception of the jungle.

What made it so good?

 

Was it just that it was the first proper multiplayer FPS?

for me it was the sound of the bullets hitting people. it was just very satisfying.

thats the sadist in me i spose.

Yes. It's was amazing because it was the first good FPS on a console. Also the many settings/weapons/characters were pretty awesome having in a game at the time.

But it has aged terribly.

there was nothing more satisfying than when you were in god mode and hearing twelve bullets from the Klobb rip into the archival guards.

the names of the guns were always a lol

kf7 soviet

man that KF7 was a piece of shit once you progressed to the later levels.

the sniper rifle looked unwieldy as hell too.

i loved the DD4. not that pp7 bullshit.

was that the one with the chrome top and was loud as hell? damn straight.

I'm amazed that you guys actually can remember the names of the weapons. lol.

i think my favorite gun was whatever you get at the beginning of the Caves/chase stage towards the end.

I probably also should be able the remeber the names as much as I played that game as a kid.

I'm the only one excited for the remake?

i always used the character cheat (i had it taped to the top of my 64) and picked the helicopter pilot. he was a lol in dk mode.

RCP 90?

Dual wielding those was awesome

*strafes*

In high school, we had a small, private room reserved for grade 12 students only... It was called "the senior room".

It had a couple couches, a TV, and an N64 with 4 controllers...

I used to sit in there playing Goldeneye instead of going to classes.

(really, what did they expect? good old liberal New Hampshire...)

I love Goldeneye on the N64...one of the best FPSers ever made.

Golden Eye for Nintendo 64 is, to this date, still the best FPS game for a console system.

Yes. The replayability on this game in multiplayer mode was mind-blowing. Plus, the island was such a weirdly enthralling aspect, unfinished and abandoned as it was. Awesome memories from this game.

Sigh, I miss my childhood.. going over to a friends place with your controller, a bottle of coca cola and a bag of crisps, and play all night long yeahh

I wonder how many of our generation did this, I used to play it after school with my mates, I would bring the cart and a controller and we would play it on a tiny 14" TV almost everyday, we just played Golden Eye and Mario Kart 64. Last year I sold my GameCube and the guys that came here to pick it up also did the same, tiny TV 4 player split screen.

I completed finished Golden Eye 64, got all the time trial levels which enabled the cheats, took me a while but was very fun, I used to think it wasn't possible to clear under those times but they were, I used to walk sideways in the game, it made it move faster.

I liked how they would react differently to where you shot them, to this day it's something not often seen, at least not to that level.

lasers or proximity mines. also the magnum for pistols. i always played with my bro and his friends on a sweet 32" tv.

played as xenia or boris.

for me it was always remote mines in the basement and grenades in the archives.

i hate proximity mines but then again i was pretty cheap with the remote mines so....

The sniper looked like a squirt gun.

We used to always play temple with only grenade launchers for some reason. I guess it was fun as hell.

I miss the whole getting your friends infront a single tv screen and just play Goldeneye all night.. Good times.

Online gaming is shit compared to that.

i still remember playing Archives on 007 mode and sitting in the first room, seeing how many soldiers i could kill....i think i got up to 170 or something..

my favorite was one-on-one license to kill, with grenade launchers. probably in the temple. it was the ultimate deathmatch. the only guy in the whole school who could beat me was this mormon kid...
