Make America Rassle Again
I'm not going to say Goldeneye was bad, because it was very good. It had a lot of flaws though and it hasn't aged well. For one, the escort missions were BS. How many times did Natalya run in front of your line of fire? It was also revealed that the enemies in game were programmed to ignore Bond anytime she was on screen. So literally they were only trying to kill her. Speaking of your line of fire, the aiming system, it was wonky as hell because it was the worst example of auto-aim in history due to the 64 controller that required you to have a third hand to use properly. It had some very fun missions, but it also had Graveyard so that sort of negates anything good. You spend way too much time in menus for an FPS. I could keep going, but the flaws were numerous.
It was a bit of a perfect storm though. The N64 was really the first home console to allow that kind of easy access multiplayer, Goldeneye was the first major name multiplayer FPS, and despite the flaws it was smooth enough at the time to be fun. There were games like Turok that paved the way, but Goldeneye truly gave people the ability to just get four guys and shoot each other. It was revolutionary as it popularized the FPS genre on consoles. Despite an equally flawed multiplayer, it was still fun. Except fuck whoever insisted on playing as Obbjob, fucking midget.
I'd argue that Perfect Dark was far superior to Goldeneye, but Goldeneye isn't even that overrated when you compare it to say, Final Fantasy 7. Yeah I said it.

Agreed. I'd also argue that Banjo-Kazooie > Mario 64.

Banjo-Kazooie was awesome.
One of my all time favorites

Are you talking about the one where she is working on the computer at the Janus Control Center? Yeah that one was tough. It's between either that one or the Aztec Complex for picking the toughest level on the highest difficulty setting.

Porn is okay here long as it ain't dudes.
Escort missions in general suck ass.

I'm not sure I'd go that far, but I like Banjo was more polished that Mario. They were both very good platformers that have stood the test of time.

Not always. There's rare cases where whoever you're taking with you through the mission is way more powerful than your own characters such as when you take Ghaleon to see Quark in Lunar Silver Star.

Perfect Dark is so much better than Goldeneye it's not even funny.

Especially since PD has the two player co-op mode.

I've been playing the remastered Crash Bandicoot. Nearly thrown the controller several times in frustration. It's so simple, just jump to the next bit but then he misses. He just misses by an inch and it screws up your flow and then you miss again and again and again until you have to restart the whole stupid level!
I hate these stupid games.

It's The Magnificent Ambersons to Goldeneye's Citizen Kane.

So I'm watching Sharknado 5, Tara Reid was a human helicopter and John Morrison just suplexed a shark. This is hilarious.
Can't believe there are already 5 of those. I'd watch it but I haven't seen the first four yet.

I've only seen bits and pieces of the first 4, I only turned it on because there was nothing else on but I've been laughing my ass off the whole time.

I haven't seen any of them yet. It's kind of the wacky, turn your brain off shit that I'd probably like too.

That makes 2. One more for 3 would be awesome if anyone is willing.
I don't think it would hinder your watching if you started with 5. I doubt it matters much.
