What makes Goldeneye so different from other FPS?
It sucks and you can't jump. Really I don't get it, such a grossly overrated game. Quake was a 1000x better game for the PC. The goons in Goldeneye wouldn't even shoot back and you could kill them on the stairs. Maybe it was that console idiots had their first chance at 4 player vs mode in a FPS. I played Quake and Doom online way before I ever bought Goldeneye for N64.
Oh congrats for you. Yeah how easy is it to get 3-4+ nerds to come over and LAN up and get some gaming going. How many hours are wasted setting this shit up, working out network problems, complaining with the one guy who has to use some certain program that fucks everything up but blames everyone else and not himself. I mean you can spend 12 hours only to play 2-3 hours of gaming and there is always gonna be some guy who complains it isnt fair or some other type of lame shit.
With Goldeneye you only needed one TV and one Console and 4 controllers. Which were already set up and working beforehand. Pick up a controller and start playing.
Was good at parties etc. The rule we usually went by when there were more than 4 people who wanted to play was that the winner of a deathmatch got bumped out. that way everyone got a chance.
Proximity mines ruled, and if you were one of the few select who could, knives would own.
The thing is, with lan games, its just you and your computer, with console its everyone in the same room close together staring at the same screen, which was much more social.
was it something I said?
