Goldeneye gets crapped on too much recenetly. Sure, it's "dated', but it was made almost 30 years ago. I've always could sort of "seperate" old and new games in my mind and can deal with any dated or otherwise primitive aspects of old games just fine unless they're completely unplayable. It seems to be in fashion to shit on old, beloved games like GE, Ocarina of Time, and so on.

I feel there's a different between a game being "Dated" and a game not aging well.

For example, compared to today's side scrollers and sports games, Contra and Tecmo Superbowl are very dated, but both games have aged extremely well. Whereas the original Metal Gear did not, because it was greatly improved upon in future incarnations.
