For N64? I played this for 8 or so hours when it was new and ditched it for Quake. Why the fuck do people harbor so much love for this game?
it was a good fps on the n64
Same reason they like pokemon red.
Because it was one of the first multiplayer shooters on the market.
throwing mines only, complex top floor
Proximity mines only, Facility
'nuff said
Because it was one of the best when it came out.
because they played it when they were kids

Exactly. I look back and only have good thoughts of it.
It was a damn good FPS on the N64 that filled many hours. I also refuse to play it today because it will tarnish the image I have of it from when I was a child.

The DooM series come to mind. Granted, these weren't on consoles. Not trying to argue, just wrap my head around it.
Because we weren't born in the 360 era.
Surely nostalgia comes into play also, I agree. I fucking love Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe despite its flaws.
However, saying it was a good FPS on the N64 is a bit like saying AVP was a good FPS on the Jaguar. True, but what other viable options were there?

Neither was I. I just never "appreciated" GoldenEye over PC FPS games. I guess that's because I wasn't born in the SNES era.
It still has some elements that modern games lack. You shoot a guy in the shoulder, and puts his hand over his shoulder, and a blood spot will appear in the exact place you hit. Meanwhile, in Fallout 3, You blast a guy's face with a shotgun and his foot gets blown off. Or in TF2, you shoot someone in the thigh and their face gets all bloody.
Goldeneye is still solid by modern standards. The only element of it that wouldn't still hold up in modern times is the quality of graphics, which was fantastic for the time it was released.
Most advanced groundbreaking for its time, gameplay is so addictive
Goldeneye was the first game to have breakable glass.
That is why.
Because it was fun as hell to play with friends

Although my experience with Fallout is a little different, I see your points.

Also a valid point, heh. Not sure if it was the absolute first, but possibly the first FPS. I did enjoy shooting folks through a window who had no experience with breakable glass in a game.
I think we can all agree, though, that the old goldeneye will be better then the new.
:bandwagon:

Aye, we can.
I feel like the developers will either try too hard to recapture the original and it will be a poorly-conceived parody or else they will go with a completely different feel and end up with a bland FPS with Bond heads on the models.
Though I'm not a rabid fan of the original, I'm not trying to shit on it.
It was a great game, do we need another reason?
Because at the time it was released it was one of the best multi-player FPS experiences you could get. And yes nostalgia factors in too, but it truly was a great game.

Oddjob's hat is OP
Its notalgic, gives me child memories :3:
