Recently picked up Goldeneye after hearing so much about how it's the "best n64 game" and stuff like that. But I just don't see it. I like Perfect Dark much more. It was a great technical achievment and was just overall more fun, both in single and multiplayer. What do you guys think?

Perfect Dark feels like a refined Goldeneye, though its better for it as far as Im concerned.

Call me picky but the dual function weapons in PD gave me too much to think about in a fight, like switching between fire modes or pistol whipping. The Laptop Gun was great though.

I personally prefered GoldenEye to Perfect Dark, I agree that Perfect Dark was more refined but always felt like GoldenEye was the better game overall just loved the levels on it and the sort of edited story to GoldenEye.

Winback!

Out of the two you mentioned, I liked perfect dark better. To me, PD also holds up today much better than Goldeneye...

thats because you had perfect dark first, you should have bought goldeneye when it came out or tried it first,

perfect dark was basically goldeneye with upgrades

goldeneye is what set the stage for perfect dark and even the timesplitters series found on gamecube xbox and ps2 , not sure if ts 4 will be anything like the 3 but you should check those out to ,

cause they are also spirtual successors to goldeneye then you got goldeneye on the wii which is good enough , but its hard to beat goldeneye/pd/ts

that formula was the fun way of fps games,

--- the ones we mostly see now are shallow in comparision , all they ever care about is online this dlc that

they forgot the main modes goldeneye/pd was known for- in fact only halo has split screen but , hmm no bots or unlockables really dont stack up against goldeneye

or pd , the customizable options in pd out wiegh those in the majority of games we see today

and the single player missions were fun to play , compared to the nonlinear ones that we see that last a mear 4 hours or less

without any reason to back track into these ones ,

its fair to say goldeneye is the better game because well i didnt like pds single player , that one just felt to linear

plus , they could have added a few more missions goldeneye had 20 pd has 17

,, and ya pd mutliplayer is better then goldeneye only for a few reasons

1-its got ai included

2 , theres more customizable options other then that, ge was still fun to play

I go back and fourth, but I think Goldeneye is the overall better experience. The single player is better, and the game performs better for the most part. I like the bots in multiplayer for Perfect Dark, but holy hell that game must drop to 5 fps when things get heated. It's too bad that fps games these days don't offer the customization that PD did.

Perfect Dark- I felt like it was a perfected version of Goldeneye, however I like the missions in Goldeneye better.

PD is the better game but GoldenEye is more of a classic imo.

I want to say Goldeneye, but I'm fairly sure that's only borne of nostalgia and affection, and the fact that I owned it first. Perfect Dark just seemed like an improvement on everything in Goldeneye, and as such is logically a superior game for that fact, but still...

To anyone familiar to the Syphon Filter series [which I love], I felt like PD was a FPS version of Syphon Filter. That's probably why I liked it more.

Single player: Goldeneye

Multiplayer: Perfect Dark

Both are classic games and are in my top ten.

I can't stand either anymore simply because of the control scheme.

Goldeneye came out first and it was a really standout, fantastic game at the time. Perfect Dark is better because it's basically a refinement of Goldeneye that was released later.

I think Perfect Dark is an improvement in every way except multiplayer stages.

The multiplayer options are much better in PD, but I miss most of the stages from Goldeneye, it's great they kept Facility and Complex, (not so interested in Temple) But they should have kept more like Archives and Bunker. There are some good new stages as well, but the selection was better in Goldeneye.

I think the control scheme in these two games is better than in today's console FPSes. Today's FPSes just emulate the mouse and keyboard and fail at it. Just my opinion.

Am I shallow in character for saying that anything with lesbians is the winner?

:D

Kidding, of course... But to answer honestly, that's a tough call between those two. They both have their strong points.
