Missing Final Fantasy 7 and every pokemon game ever. Or is it just redditors in their early 20s that like those?
did you guys somehow miss the skylanders talk?The PS1 game was a pretty generic, a not very inspired nor inspiring 3D platformer, and when a PS2 sequel was announced, I remember reviewers going all Spyro crazy and it really surprised me. As far as I know the result was just as bland as the first too...
I'm not sure what Goldeneye and Quake 2 have to do with each other, they are very different games and you shouldn't be comparing PC games to console games back then anyway, especially FPS games. In my opinion Goldeneye was fun because it allowed for easy, competitive play among friends. PC gaming with friends was much more difficult back then for obvious reasons, whereas with the N64 you could just bring controllers or a game over and boom, hours of fun. It isn't a fair comparison although I played Quake and Quake 2 around the same time also and I don't have nearly as many good, fun memories of them as I do of playing Goldeneye, but maybe that's because I was mainly playing single player. Even single player Goldeneye was fun though, in my mind it isn't even a comparison. It was by far the best console FPS I played until Halo.Goldeneye was dogshit. Consider that Quake 2 and Goldeneye came out less than 4 months apart. Anyone that had a decent custom gaming rig like I did just laughed at how bad that game was. A 3DFX Voodoo versus an N64 is pretty laughable, and Quake 2 had awesome mods within months of release.
This. I played all of the Quakes and Goldeneye and I liked both. Hell we had LAN parties where if someone didn't also bring an N64 with Goldeneye then someone would have to go leave and get it. I've got a friend here who says there is a bar downtown where the owner still has an N64 with Goldeneye hooked up which customers can play.I'm not sure what Goldeneye and Quake 2 have to do with each other, they are very different games and you shouldn't be comparing PC games to console games back then anyway, especially FPS games.

Also, Oddjob was banned in our group, short little bastard.
Oh no, I was about 16 when Goldeneye came out. I had my first real IT job already and hence tons of spare money to blow on a $2k gaming rig. My friends, the same age as me, thought Goldeneye was the god's gift to gaming and continued to believe this for the next 3 years. I remember it STILL being popular at our Y2K party. Everyone thought computers were for losers... and then suddenly Counterstrike became THE game and everyone rushed out to buy a PC.The difference is that most 12 year olds had N64's not computers. I think the demographics for those two games were probably wildly different and most people who remember Goldeneye very fondly were in the younger category when they played it.
P.S. Fuck Oddjob.
