Had to the chance to play goldeneye the other day. It’s a lot harder than I remember it being when I was a kid.

The xbox/switch one felt so much easier to me with the way better frame rates and actually modern twin stick shooter controls

Fuck the entire no aim until you press the bumpers to aim thing and walking with the c buttons instead of the stick...

I have a very distinct memory of using Down C to slightly tip my aim up if I expected to be shooting on the move.

That, and that you had to place yourself on a corner for that pop-out shot. Peekaboo was an art form.

You can shut that off in the settings. It’s like the 2nd last option, aim lock I think it’s called

How dare you disrespect the n64 controller.

When I was growing up I’m Chernobyl it was the only controller that fit all my hands.

back in the day I didn’t beat the game on medium setting. I played some stages 30 times. game is challenging in a good way. I plan to beat game on secret agent and 00 agent, with the help of save states.

Once upon a time, we were just 3 kids having the time of our lives.

Saturday, 25 years later. We were 3 drunk adults who made the time to hang out. Thanks goldeneye.

My favourite was oddjob in nightfire because his hat is homing and a one hit kill. I'd play as him all the time against my friends because I was an asshole lol

You got to live the dream of so many, from so long ago. Revel in it.

Done with swim practice, scarf lunch down. Fire up the 64. No OddJob. Prox mines and rockets. Perfection.

I was SO hyped when I saw they released it for Switch recently. Played the first level for giggles. That control scheme does not translate well...or maybe I'm just wayyy out of practice. But either way I'm gonna figure out, or buy some new controllers. Brings back so many good memories.

There are some guides to make the controls work better, search and you shall find.

Exactly my experience. Haven't tried the Remapping the controller exercise yet, but it's kinda wild they didn't manage to make that part of the porting effort...

I beat it today! I unlocked paintball and DK mode on the way. It felt good to beat it so quickly compared to my younger self. I still had some muscle memory of some of the levels.

Am I the only one who thinks this game has not aged well? Sure I still have love for it and fond memories, but every time I have tried to play it since I am like....uhhhhhh this controls like ass.

Agree very much. Have tried to play it on Retopie setups a few times over the years. Never got too far before losing interest.

Tried it recently on Game Pass. Same thing.

Probably best to leave the memories intact.

Reminds me I once came 2nd in a Tony Hawk compo in my local - we were on bar stools craning our necks to see the TV that normally showed the footy (big-arse Sony Trinitron on a shelf). Good times!

Goddamn. I need this in my life…

Thinking about how much fun we had playing Goldeneye all night (no Oddjob of course) in my early teens. Fuck I miss that so much

Got a tear in my eye now. Enjoy, friend. You’re enjoying it for so many

It just came out on game pass, I was playing last night, didn't get to try multiplayer yet, but it brought back great memories.

Yeah. Been doing the campaign but it just doesn’t scratch that itch

See I'd actually go to bars in my area if they had this. I think I've got one place that has games and they're all classic arcade. The one time I went in there, the place was dead.

I played this the other day with some friends. I can't begin to explain how much easier it is to play with two thumbsticks.

Why would I want to play video games in a crowded pub? Sounds like a pain in the ass and annoying
