VIDEO: ‘GoldenEye’ was a great game, but certainly not perfect

Matt Hawkins Contributing Writer, Video Games

We often forget that even the most beloved games from our youth, like GoldenEye, were hardly perfect. Which is why IRL antics can help clean those rose-tinted glasses we often wear.

The N64 classic was, for many, their first taste of the wild world of first person shooting. And for its time, GoldenEye was a legitimate groundbreaker. But give a copy to someone who also don’t share those same fond memories (or your age demo) and they’ll point out the ultra simplistic environments, the constraining controls, and so on.

But it takes someone who logged in serious time back in the day to recall (and perhaps forget) the horrendous AI. Which is illustrated in the following…

Yeah, I killed Natalya a lot, back in the day. And that door jam thing resulted in a fair amount of screaming at the TV as well.
