Can someone explain to me why people were so fucking obsessed with this medicore, shitty, Britbong movie licensed game? Graphics were shit-tier, literally on the level of Q1 which came out a year before. Q2 which came the same year, blew it the fuck outta water. So what was it then? Were console plebs allways Low IQ apes?

It was the first decent 4 player deathmatch game
Speedrunning the levels was fun for most people as well

The original fucking Doom had deatchmatch mode, as early as 1993

one of the 4 good n64 games

>>721750587
The way the missions were structured and designed mainly. Perfect Dark was an improvement in every way there too.
The controls for both were awful though yes.
>>
>>721750587
It's fun.
>>
console losers had extremely limited exposure to video games so whatever they played first was the best thing ever

>>721751375
Yeah but not on the same console that you only needed a controller

>>721750587
The guns were awesome. The levels design was incredible. It was the first game where you could target limbs and they had different damage. The first real sniper rifle. The deathmatch was next level and you had so many possibilities. And it was the only way to play a shooter with 4 people in the same room without a bunch of computers connected.
The weapon variety was innovative and exciting. The speedrunning and extra objectives on higher difficulties made it so much fun and replayable. The cheat system was fun. The exploration in the levels was peak. The hard difficulties were challenging as hell. There were secret levels, unused rooms, it was so immersive.

There was so much content and creativity that this and Perfect Dark ruined FPS games for me for life. They all felt stale in comparison

It was the first ever moviegame in the modern sense, and normalfags are fucking rabid for moviegames. Same reason why HL1 and MGS 1 did so well.

Tendies don't have standards and haven't since the late 90s when the N64 was a piece of shit but they pretended it perfected 3D gaming. It's also why they pretend OoT is good.

I did play this shitty game, tendie retards. It's linear as fuck and basic as fuck. No, a whole bunch of useless rooms filled with irrelevant crap do not count as "exploration" or gameplay. Goldeneye 64 is basically a modern snoy movie game but with none of the production value.

You can also see how Perfect Dark, a REAL game, got completely overlooked by the masses despite being better in every way. Simply put it was not a movie game.
>>
I just remembered there was a short character that no one could hit and you could also crouch down and strafe on your knees so that no one could hit you either. Man this game was on another level.

Even half-life?

Are you obtuse on purpose or are you actually retarded?

Nobody ever cared about Doom or Tetris back then
>>
>>721753119
Half life came out a year later.
>>
>>721753119
Yes, half life didn’t have even half of those things which I loved about GE. Same for Half Life 2 and every other FPS
>>
>>721750587
I never played it but I understood the attraction. Name another N64 FPS game where you can kill your friends on 4 player splitscreen. Devs spent a long time making the game actually fun, and threw in multiplayer while the producers wondered what took so long.
>>
>>721753283
both perhaps. also op might be an actual schizo or just an obnoxious faggot. i feel like he is the same guy making multiple thread shitting on other games like earthbound, turnbased combat in general or anything nintendo related but i still can confirm if it's him or not.

>>721750587
Neither Quakes had environments as large as Dam, Surface, Streets, or probably even Runway. People weren't running those games at 800x600x60fps either. There were like 30 other real 3D games anyway. No one saw it as a competition at the time; they just wanted flavor, and Goldeneye was the only game at the time where you could do Vietnam larps in the Jungle level, and stuff like that.
>>

Game did a ton of shit that PC FPS hadn't done at the time(and still don't).
It really was a you had to be there thing, retarded zoomers like you would never understand.

>OoT is good.
Nope.
>Majora's mask is better.
Yup.
>>
>>721752186
>They all felt stale in comparison
Quake had better level design, infinitely better controls, better audio design and better gunplay all around. You just played GE when you were 7 with your gay friends and never played any good shooters on PC.
>>
>>721755098
>nice strawman, I had friends, played split screen with them aswell, just didnt play goldeneye, played timesplitters and halo instead
>>
>>721756697
>Quake had better level design, infinitely better controls, better audio design
These are all true in theory. In 1997, all of these elements were compromised by sticky ball mice, cheap Logictech speakers, and most people playing without the CD music.

>better gunplay all around.
This discussion is out of your scope if you think Goldeneye is about gunplay.
>>
Goldeneye was fun because you invited your friends over and played multiplayer split screen, powers weapons in the complex preferably, and destroyed them repeatedly until they went home crying about it. PC shooters were over the internet since most teenagers didn't have the means or ability to set up a LAN party and you just don't create quite the same amount of seethe when you're not in person.
>>
>>721757643
yeah bro LAN parties were so fucking rare back in the 90s
retarded console shitters man
>>
>>721758620
When did I say they were rare? I said most teenagers didn't know how to set them up, which was absolutely true.
Or they weren't allowed to have them by their parents. Of course lots of people did have them, anyway.
>>
>>721756697
>Quake had better level design
Eh not really
>>
>OP couldn't even get past Dam and so has to ragebait on my basketweaving forum
>>
>>721757643
We used to bring consoles as well to LAN parties.
It was nice to get up from the chair and onto the couch for a few hours.
>>
>>721758620
>yeah bro LAN parties were so fucking rare back in the 90s
They actually were and on top of that it was a pain to lug 80 pounds of Tower, crt monitor and plugs and cables as well. Most people were still playing pen and paper RPGs because of it and then MtG when it hit the scene

For myself I didnt really get to enjoy lan gaming until College in 96 when they had a t1 gigabit Ethernet and then it was Warcraft 2 and quake multiplayer heaven and everybody in my dorm was playing
>>
>>721757483
>These are all true in theory.
No, they're true in practice. You sound like you played the game for maybe 30 minutes on a shitty family workstation PC.

>This discussion is out of your scope
Yeah, you're another retarded tendie pretending to know anything about what makes games good when you don't actually play them. You played Quake for a few minutes as a kid and then never again, and you only played shitty console shooters afterwards. Your input on the subject is objectively worthless.

>>721759273
>Eh not really
Absolutely. And setting the base game aside, Scourge of Armageddon came out half a year before Goldeneye and has fantastic level design that shits all over Goldeneye so hard that you'd have to have brain damage to pretend it can compare. Or more likely, anyone pretending otherwise just hasn't played it.
>>
>>721750587
Don't engage with troll bait threads.
>>
>>721759947
>Scourge of Armagon
I agree, it had good level design. And I'm sure the other 14 people who played it will agree as well.
>>

Hard disagree
Different strokes bro
Quake levels felt bloated and spaghettified with way too much backtracking and key nonsense. Also the aesthetic was bland and samey
Goldeneye had tight well designed levels that never left you looking for a direction or boring the shit out of you with nothing to do
>>
>>721760650
>Hard disagree
You haven't played Scourge of Armageddon. You played the original Quake for a few minutes on your dad's office PC and then went back to playing the worst console games, which you've continued to do for almost 30 years.
>Goldeneye had tight well designed levels that never left you looking for a direction or boring the shit out of you with nothing to do
No, they were small and simplistic and boring.
>>
>>721750587
Obvious bait is obvious

>>721751375
Keyword being "decent", not a single person cares about doom multi-player

>>721760771
I like both, and you're a huge faggot. Goldeneye is better though.
>>
>>721760771
>You haven't played Scourge of Armageddon.
Whatever makes you sleep at night
>No, they were small and simplistic and boring.
I disagree, i felt they were were great design without the bloat or backtracking nonsense that most ID games suffered from and the aesthetic was top notch, never during the entire playthrough of goldeneye did I fell like I was treading the same path, where as with quake the whole fucking game is like the first "few minutes" as you so succinctly put it
>>
LOOK AT THE FUCKING PACE
>>
>>721761202
>Goldeneye is better though.
You haven't played SoA.

>>721761205
>Whatever makes you sleep at night
You can be as dismissive as you want, it won't change anything.
>I disagree
And you're wrong because you know less than nothing about what makes a shooter well designed. You having fond memories of playing it when you were 7 during a sleepover before you and your friends compared penises doesn't make it good. The fact that you're pretending Quake had Doom 2 levels of keyhunting makes it clear you haven't played it.

We had Quake on N64 you absolute faggot retard. Nobody played it because it was inferior in every way. You could play with two players tops, the campaign was completely forgettable with no replay value. And yes in those days you actually played with real life friends unless you were some PC gaming weirdo like your loser castrated tranny generation. In which case you had shit internet that was constantly dropping you. Your post is one of the brownest most retarded things I’ve ever read on this board or any other and I would have assumed it was bait if it didn’t reek if third world envy

This is stupid enough that I'd ask if you were false flagging, but deep down I know you're being sincere.

That's nice, but I'm American and white. Not "white" like you, but actually white. I had a PC and consoles growing up. The N64 was always a joke, and talking about playing with friends won't make the games any less shit. Between PC and PS1 we could play everything from Quake and Worms, to Marvel vs Streetfighter and Twisted Metal. No one cared about playing a bad shooter unless it was all they could play.
>>
>>721750587

You're the one defending a shitty kids game for the gaming console that is THE definitive manchild console.

1) jews made pcs cost thousands of dollars so maybe 1 in 30 people had a good pc

2) 4 player

3) you could hide weed in it
>>
>>721750587
It was a great game, if you think otherwise you weren't even born then. I didn't have a n64 but I know excellence when I see it, that was fps perfection at the time.
>>
>>721750587
There was fuck all else to play on N64. There were only like 20 games on the platform by the time GoldenEye launched.
>>
>>721753345
come on now. you were computer illiterate and still are.

>>
>>721761665
3rdys didn't have consoles outside of ps1 or PCs in the 90s so they have a melty when you talk about stuff from that era before emulation took off.
