I see plenty of room for discussion - and differing opinions, for that matter. 1992-2000 was a bit of a heyday for the genre, particularly on the PC. There were a slew of genre-defining titles coming out during this time, with Goldeneye being merely one of them.Originally Posted by jonebone
And, this may seem hard to believe, but not everyone was nuts about Goldeneye. "Back in the day" I remember having a really hard time trying to figure out what all the hype was about. I was primarily a PC gamer, and was already by that time playing pretty fast-paced 16-32 player matches of Team Fortress online.
And coming from that, I was introduced by a friend to this other game that maxed out at 4 players who felt like they were walking and aiming in molasses and couldn't jump. Today I'm more appreciative of it as being groundbreaking for the console and sort of the starting point for what the FPS experience would eventually evolve into on it, but that was my impression of it at the time, as there seemed to be a real tangible disparity between that and what was going on in the PC world by that point.
