Redpill me boomers what about this game was considered so revolutionary that it recieved a 97 Metascore in a year...

Why are you assuming he's a zoomer? I know a 21 year old who loves Perfect Dark.

gross >

you forgot to mention counter-op mode, where you play against your friend as he tries to complete the level

something I really like about this game was that the objectives would change per difficulty and make each level radically different.
Thief was the only other game I played that did something similar to this which I was liked

perfect dark had so many game modes and allowed so much customization of the bots it was insane. on top of that the weapons that also had a second fire type and the campaign that was great on top of it. holy shit its depressing to think i havent played a game with as many features since.

Thief II is a goddamn masterpiece, Thief II, OOT & Perfect Dark are top 10 all time games for sure.

>After playing this and Unreal Tournament 04 expected the genre to only gain more and more options as time goes on
>Modern games launch with one game mode, sometimes two if its not early access, three if its a triple A experience

Zoomers are retarded brainwashed drones, they mindlessly eat shit so developers realize they just have to spend the budget towards cinematic movie shit & marketing. And drones will eat it up. No reason to put effort into making games anymore.

I just randomly assume that anyone who doesn't like certain N64 games is underaged since emulation for them is still pretty gay and most of the old N64 sticks are worn out by now

Except for all the 23 year olds out there who hate modern stuff and love older stuff. Why are you hating on zoomers?

It wasn't revolutionary it was just a straight up improvement over Goldeneye except the fact it somehow managed to run at an even worse framerate. The mission design in goldenye/PD is still better than most of the modern linear hitscan shooting gallery garbage we often still see today. Difficulties actually change the game in meaningful ways besides just increasing enemy health and damage. Perfect Dark in particular even modifies objectives from lower difficulties and a few missions have major changes for example the Carrington Villa mission. Instead of protecting a negotiator from a nearby cliffside at the start of the mission then moving through some cave on Perfect Agent you are the negotiator and immediately move into parts of the villa rather than going through a cave system first.

Really tight, condensed, intricate maps, objectives that change radically on each map and challenge, a fun toolset that you're encouraged to use, all running about about 12 FPS.

It's better now than it was then because you can emulate it and play it for longer than an hour without getting a headache.

Nintendicksuckers have existed since 1889.
It was a 7/10 game

I wouldn't call it outright perfect with that framerate going to shit with anything more than single player, but it's definitely a solid 9/10 and Rare at their absolute best.

take off your nostalgia goggles and try replaying it now.
it didn't even stand a chance against older games from 1998

Replay it with the KBM mod.
It's aight.

>He thinks we didn't play 4 player multiplayer with 6 bots.

It was possible AND the N64 didn't shit itself.

PD's level design is more intricate than the vast majority of FPS

Except it fucking did whenever anyone used explosives or a literal N-Bomb. It also cuts in half when playing split-screen. Nigger I played this game with my brother and his friends all the time.

cool alien guns like the Farsight which was let camper's lock onto random targets and shoot them through walls. Slayer's fly by wire rockets let your control the rocket's trajectories from the rocket's POV. Phoenix had cool pistol sized explosive effects on impact. Laptop gun was a deployable turret.
The weaponry was great for the time, really expanded what made Goldeneye good. Also the bots were pretty fun. Me and my friends would set the max amount and it would be pretty chaotic.

Well, it was good.

It also had features that modern developers still refuse to put in games.
>multiplayer against bots with multiple AI settings
>difficulty level changes mission objectives
>counter-operative mode
>probably other shit I can't remember

fuck darkbots

Play Goldeneye, which was the standard for FPS at the time and then play Perfect Dark immediately afterwards. If you can, do it on an actual N64.

I remember having a lot of fun in mp, shootin was hectic and very satisfying, don't know anything about why it has a high score and don't care

>the standard for FPS at the time*
*on consoles

It has something most games don't have today even with current technology: pixel perfect hitboxes. What your laser touches is what your pistol hits. You don't have to worry about collision boxes blocking your shot.

You can play it on PC now at 60fps user, give it a try. Look up 1964 GEPD

Let me put it this way, little user: if you didn’t live to play this when it was released I feel sorry for you. It was literally pure magic.

Joanna was hot.

Goldeneye was revolutionary

This was better than Goldeneye
