I need to play Blood Stone.

I just bought 007 Legends (AGAIN) over the weekend (I bought it on PS3 at a garage sale but realizing that version lacks the DLC and the only version that can still get the DLC is the Wii U version by virtue of being on the disc, I spent the $10 to get a copy from GameStop). Need to start that.

I've always wanted to try GoldenEye Reloaded. Just to see how true they stayed to the original and how much liberty they took.

There is an argument to be made

It's a call of duty game with a bond name

It was pretty good though just way different game and followed film beats more than n64 game beats for the story iirc

Every gun had a secondary function, bots in multiplayer, CO op, counter Co op, and Elvis

PD's story was the good kind of bad. The music and gameplay were essentially top notch, and the slowdown from the N64 not being present in the re-release fixed the only outstanding issue.

You know what N64 FPS was a friggin blast to play? Turek Rage Wars. Was brutally difficult/cheap single player but that multiplayer was awesome.

Be nice if that got remastered for PC like Turok and Turok 2 did.

Perfect Dark is one of my favorite games of all time, up there with Deus Ex and Ocarina of Time and Super Mario World.

How was Perfect Dark's story bad?
---

Every gun had a secondary function

there was also a button combination to access this second function for one shot at a time. i forget what it was, but you had the ability to mix, and that's some good game.

he said the story was bad in a good way, presumably because you help an alien named elvis save the universe from an evil onslaught called the skedar.

perfect dark > goldeneye > any other shooter

It was just something about the palette, stages, music, atmosphere.

I know Perfect Dark just took everything about Golden Eye and made it better.

But we just had so much damn fun playing Golden Eye. Even my parents played it with us.

It was much harder to get people to play Perfect Dark. The muted colors and depressing atmosphere they would just leave after a match or two.

While Golden Eye everyone would fight to play next all day Saturday and Sunday.

Perfect Dark my memories are meh.

Goldeneye my memories are like "Damn I wish they remastered it exactly like it was with modern day graphics and controls."

The world ends with you does not deserve to be in this contest.

Not an FPS but Jet Force Gemini is the best third person shooter on N64 tbh

Perfect Dark v Goldeneye is perhaps one of the best examples you can get of the importance of the intangible factors in game design like "atmosphere" and "soul".

On pretty much every objective level Perfect Dark is a more advanced version of Goldeneye and thus should be an even better game, but it's just missing those special x-factors that separate the all time classics from the merely really good.
