Spork3245 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 XPlay spent an entire episode trying to argue that "Goldeneye on N64 isn't a good game"... by holding it up to today's standards and ignoring what else was available when it came out. So... yea. I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I tried to get into it when it relaunched. But that TechTV magic is buried about as deep as it can get. Everyone they brought in was just so annoying. We’ll always have the memories of those great mid 2000’s E3s. Sessler, “this is so unprofessional!” And the 24 live Tech help call in show they used to do the day after Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mentioned once "it was a product of it's time and isn't a good a game today". It was just a waste of 20 minutes. Like, of course it's not going to hold up; why even dedicate an entire episode to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 All I know is that Gina Darling and Xavier Woods were on the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleronin Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I seen it was on one day so I turned it one and looked to see that about 90% of the programing was internet clip shows. Nothing will be missed again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying it isn’t just rage bait, but in fairness a lot of older games hold up better than Goldeneye does. SMB, Doom, Deus Ex, FFVI, etc are old games that still play quite well by todays standards and don’t suffer as much in comparison. Goldeneye also has the constant drumbeat of people begging for it to be rereleased and I do feel like a lot of people who have heard about it endlessly but never played it at the time are going to wonder what the hell we were all smoking at the time.

I don't think there's many people arguing that Goldeneye holds up beyond nostalgia. Many of their segments were like that; click bait thumbnails for YouTube... except it's a show and not YouTube so they can't throw out click bait for ratings. It makes sense since almost all of them are YouTubers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
