Oh gods, why would you do that to yourself?

Look, it was impressive at the time, and it did wonderful things for the genre on consoles, but we only loved it back then because we didn't yet know how they should be done properly. By modern standards, it's bloody awful.

instead of jumping off the dam after like 5 minutes, i took a detour into a bunker/silo thing and goddamn it got ugly. major shootout. managed to escape and then lost my way after that. plus i didn't even use my decoder thing for whatever easter egg (or more advanced mission i suppose) it would have been.

a bit into facility now

want to comment that 1. i went totally rambo mode in level 1, 2. the music kicks so much ass, and 3. i am quite enjoying solid snake mode in this one. picked off the guy in the toilet before dropping down; took out the next guy who fired at me fairly easily; and now i've sniped off a few guys as they were walking around on a lower level after the bathrooms.

now - to gain entry to the laboratory

I played Perfect Dark for the first time less than a year ago and it plays fine. The same should apply to goldeneye.

SuperNiceDog has won.

Last time I tried playing it I was appalled by how terrible the aiming controls were.

360 Arcade version or N64 version? 360 arcade version is excellent.

yeah this is awesome so far. also auto-aim is awesome for people like me who have no controller-eye coordination.

after eliminating the abovementioned three dudes, i circled the bottom floor for-f***ing-ever until i realized that the green signs weren't really pointing me anywhere and discovered where the door that security console opened actually was. have since won a firefight against about three dudes.

objective completed! gained entrance to laboratory! but my peashooter's ammo is almost nil... gonna have to bust out the garbage assault rifle again. goodbye accuracy.

--

hmm, 2 new observations

1. i hate it when i'm in a firefight after clearing out the area i was just in - and then i start getting hit from the back!

2. i love the way the guys fall over and die

Real men use 1.2 Honey

Then it's basically dual analog, except with a d-pad for move instead of a stick.

It's a huge advantage over the basic controls.

hey man sorry i had to let you die there

anyway, did it this time. went to the other bunker to find the key. then i just hopped into the tank, cruised over (while getting shot to s***) and boarded the plane. couldn't figure out how to use the tank's gun. bah.

ah, figured that was the case... wound up getting slappers and nearly got killed in the 6 feet stretch walking from tank to plane

--

surface took humiliatingly long. disabled the radar quickly but kept wandering in and out of the cabins. then wound up trying to get into the bunker from the main entrance not once, not twice, but three times - after obtaining various different keys and blueprints that aren't even required on agent difficulty. finally went back and read the briefing. 'whoops'

spent the 'cool' part of the level using my sniper rifle, picking off enemies like a boss. there didn't seem to be that many. but after i started setting off alarms left and right (for a total of 6ish times?) they were everywhere. and they also took many hits to the chest to kill, which threw me off. grr.

fission mailed in the bunker. achieved neither objective (copy goldeneye, photograph main screen) - set off the alerts like seconds in and wound up firefighting the whole time. not that it wasn't fun (at first before the HORDES came) but eventually it got tiresome and i wound up accidentally exiting the level.

got slaughtered this time shortly after finding boris. how the hell do i not set off alarms...

Great game. The only thing that really bothered me from that game, is there's no way you're going to figure out what to do in the Egypt without a guide.

Isn't he setting them off? I think you're supposed to either A. kill him before it happens (I don't think that's right), or B. it's mandatory and you have to try to frantically escape. Killing Boris after the alarms go off is okay.

i'm getting the alarms set off well before i encounter boris. just got annihilated again, though this time i did so with a desert eagle and dual-wielding klobbs instead of the af7.

Camera is probably spotting you.

yeah you're right. i did get caught by the camera.

BUT!

i have just beated this level! didn't realize what items i was to use... probably should have realized that i didn't actually need to keep boris alive this time. anyway, have been going on longer without triggering alerts and stuff which is a good habit at least, i guess.

We clasped our hands, our hands in praise of a conquerors right to tyranny

hmm, beat the silo and the frigate last night.

i really enjoy straightforward levels like the silo (even if i fission mailed once by not realizing what the satellite was). pounded the guards who appeared in front of me and generally was able to clean out the level in a pretty linear way.

had a bit more trouble with the frigate, where first i quickly failed the mission by planting the bug on the boat instead of the chopper <_<... next time round, beat it. that silenced D5K is slick as hell. took me a while to find the exit after i bugged the chopper but it was cool. wound up getting blown up a few times and only freed a few hostages (and several were executed), but hey, i achieved the mission!

couldn't figure out where the hell to complete the mission in surface ii and went down guns ablaze after about 20 minutes. enjoyed the atmosphere a lot at first, but eventually i set off the alarms, went up the satellite thing, failed to gain access to the building with the satellite, and died.

enjoyed the banter a lot, and the watch magnet trick was neat.
