@@ryelz2483 Oh this video is not N64, it obviously cannot run this game in 4K 60FPS. The ones from other playlists are recorded with my UltraHDMI which basically gives a raw pixel quality, which is the best you can get.
I love how the gameplay and setting are super gritty and intense while the plot and characters are as far off the wall as they can be. A talking laptop with wings, a leather jacket wearing graylien, and an army of space lizards wearing Swedish bodybuilder holograms. It’s freaking great. You can see a level of carefree creativity that would come from the same company that gave us conkers’ bad fur day.
Jet Force Gemini is on that vibe. Imperialist army of invaders who won't balk out from genorekting an entire peaceful species, _consisting of giant goofy ants and insects that speak in gibberish and high pitched squeals._ Oh, and one of the leaders of the peaceful furby alien's race name is *Jeff.* Rare was ahead of their time when it came to memes.
My dad used to play this game all the time, and as a kid, I was entranced. Sometimes I throw on a playthrough while working just to listen to it for nostalgia. This playthrough was chefs kiss. Lol
I love they have an actual red laser sight on the pistol and its an accurate one too where the beam is off center cuz its on bottom of the gun barrel if you get close to a wall. you can see the dot shrink or get bigger depending on how far you are from the where the laser is pointed at. really cool tech and attention to detail. lots of passion and hard work to add so much immersion in an N64 game man.
Ive been telling ppl that this game was waaaay ahead of its time at release. That DY357 Magnum Animation was insane back then. Plus the simulation AI multiplayer. Way better than 007
"with mouse and keyboard" in a console game, that's supposed to be played with gamepad. Sort of easy to look good if you use superior controls. Not to mention playing this with 60 fps instead of 15ish at best originally.
At the time when n64 was in and my friends and I discovered this game, they found the soundtrack, probably on limewire, burned a cd, and we drove around with our windows down blasting it. Lol. Threw in the goldeneye soundtrack too haha
The voice acting, the better/smoother animations, Multi-functional guns, quick equip menu... I never even thought an N64 game could be better than Goldeneye 64, but this truly is. Thanks for the impeccable gameplay Graslu00!
Just watched a goldeneye playthourgh and this back to back. This looks like it was on a diff generation of consoles. So many things here are so much better than Goldeneye, it's a shame then went with their own weird universe instead of getting licensed to do another game in the Bond series.
@@outlawzqc kind of like comparing GTA III and GTA Vice City. Same engine and AI behaves similar. But Perfect Dark really took the guns and gadgets too a new level. Graphics are much more refined. And the multiplayer/combat simulator was completely fleshed out. Far more replay value.
I watched the whole thing, amazing. Perfect Dark was my favorite N64 game. I still remember every level and I am amazed at how well you played and managed to do such an expert no hit run - and on Perfect Agent! You truly are the best, Graslu. Congrats!
This game is just A++ for all it offered. Pretty good story, fun missions, awesome guns, and sweet multiplayer, both co-op and standard. Great all around!
@@TheLordexilius Halo had a good story? I always got the impression it was just marketing and hype...it literally was the only thing Xbox had going for it.
20:30 I liked this mission how it changes based on the difficulty. If you play A or SA, you have to pick off the guys with a sniper to save the phony negotiator while in PA, YOU are the phony negotiator.
Yesh mission is altered and routes get changed and you get to go and see new sections of the map if you play it on Perfect Agent vs Agent/Special Agent.
@@artansadiki3244 the AI was great for the time, but pretty damn stupid nonetheless. They're incredibly slow, move stiffly, run and roll over for no tactical reason, shoot at the wall for like 2-3seconds when you duck behind cover... even their dialogue is hilariously dumb. "Why.. me?!?" "I'm dying!" 🤣
This was definitely one of the best games ever made especially on the n64. I put a ton of hours into it. Multiple player is really fun 2. The graphics are kinds of laughable now (the faces on the characters omg) but for the time this was state of the art. I remember being in awe at how beautiful the game was. But I'm old and grew up on the NES and SNES.
At first i thought it was a sequel to Goldeneye with an original storyline but it was a totally different game. Not mad about it, Perfect Dark was/is legendary.
I never did like Perfect Dark as much as Goldeneye. I still can't put my finger on exactly why. The locales are uglier IMHO, the story isn't as good, although I do like the world/premise, and for some reason it makes me motion sick, even today. I play a crap ton of shooters so I don't know what it is.
This game was far ahead of it’s time. Not just the gameplay and graphics but the Sci-fi elements were top notch. As a kid this game made my imagination run wild! I’d love to see a modern take on this universe. Thanks Graslu for the trip down Memory Lane 😎
@@WardenOfTerra roflmao cuz blade runner is based on real life projections into the future and this game deals with real life scenarios like government black projects and aliens
yea man I remember when it came out and we took it for granted how much better it was than golden eye. turns out it was the literal peak of video games. now they cant even make a video game for release and everything is a beta.
20 years. 20 Freaking years since I started playing Perfect Dark and you managed to discover the smallest of the details that not even I knew. Amazing.
Been going though a rough time lately much like everyone but seeing this has brought joy back I miss the N64 this game was my favorite. Randomly starting trying to remember the menu music and here I am now wow you make this look like a real operation.
Me too man...me too. This was a nostalgia trip for sure. The 360 version is nice if you have an Xbox, it's cheap too Edit: The original remastered version, not ZERO, that game shouldn't have the PD logo on it lol
I recently went through a tough break up. Lately, as I sit alone reevaluating my life, the nostalgic comfort of Graslu00's content has been there to entertain me and occupy my brain. It's almost like meditation. With guns. Thank you!!!
You'll notice some FPS drops here and there, this is because the game / video plugin isn't made to be run at 60FPS, so it locks back to 30 on some taxing moments no matter your PC build. Thankfully this doesn't happen much thorough the longplay. Enjoy!
@@Graslu00 I honestly prefer the Xbox controls: They feel more comfortable to me, especially with the option to lock the crosshair to the center when auto- or manual-aiming.
Technology finally caught up to the game, to the point where we can see PD in 4K/60FPS. Makes it even more impressive that Rare was able to fit what they could on the N64 cartridge. Pretty insane. I wish today's devs had the same ambitiousness to push the envelope like this game did.
21 years later and I never knew you could blow a hole in cassandras office wall. Thought I had seen every secret this game had to offer. Man I love this game, played the living crap out of it since I bought it on release day.
Till this day the most unique and most underrated game in gaming history This is a Masterpiece of a video game i played this game for over 5000tausend hours ive played through every challenge in multiplayer and campaign, every difficulty level had rank 1 in multiplayer and all the challenges and every special were unlocked, which was extremely difficult
@@artansadiki3244 if there is (and there is) it took YEARS to match this quality. Halo , Timesplitters 2, Red Faction, and Half-Life 2 come to mind as FPS giants around this time period. But PD is my favorite out of all of those titles.
Man, this sure takes me back! What a legendary game this was! Way ahead of its time when it came to mechanics, night-vision, zoom on the sniper weapons... etc... And how many hours has Graslu put into this game, I wonder, to be able to dominate like this and seemingly remember every little nook and cranny of the map as well.
I've been playing this game for 23 years. It never gets old. I love the combat simulator. I used to play it with my friends a lot. I played some Perfect Dark this morning. It's always fun replaying old missions and finding the cheese.
Oh man, that intro with the Nintendo logo slowly morphing and Joanna typing on the laptop just sat me square in front of my old CRT tv during my early teen years, what a rush.
I genuinely thought you were gonna say Dolph Lundgren would be the best choice for Joanna Dark. I think I could live with that if he had the iconic bob.
I remember Game informer giving this game a score 99 out of 100! This was easily the Perfect Game for it's time. What game ever offered you the ability to play as the Villain Enemies while your friend goes through story mode at the same time? Pure Epic!! Sincerely,
@@RyzenZegend yeah the guys at Rareware really created an incredible and Uber creative game that was so well thought out. It’s amazing what they came up with but hearing about how the team members worked 80 hour work weeks for 2 years and 7 months really shows with how this game is bulging at the seams with creativity.
Wow this is such a time warp. I played this sooooo much in highschool. It really is a gem to this day. The way the characters react to getting shot still feels..... satisfying. What game today does this where you can shoot someone in the leg and they react and you can shoot guns out if their hands. Idk but thank you so much for this playthrough. Killer job
@@angelosterkel9251 Good point, haven't played it yet but it looks amazing. The first 2 red dead games i played a ton. (Yes there was one before redemption lol) im just old.
Couple of things that jumped out at me when watching/listening... 1) the main musical motif is very similar to Blade Runner's end credits 2) the skedar death noises reminded me of It Began In Afrika by the Chemical Brothers, probably same sample library Thanks for uploading this, it was very nostalgic 🙏
It does! The devs were inspired by Blade Runner on many parts of this game. The first level showing the full moon behind the tower is part of that, inspired by the scene where Deckard meets Rachael - angled buildings and everything. As for the Skedar noises I'm not sure, but it's definitely possible as most if not all sounds come from different libraries.
I played the shit out of this game when I came out, but I clearly never played as much as you. It's crazy to me that you can learn exactly where the enemy's head will be before the door opens. I enjoyed watching this more than playing it myself.
Damn you're a beast...this is my favorite N64 game (and in my top 5 of all time). And what you did here is amazing, especially how quickly you did everything without taking damage.
One thing I like about your playthroughs is that you don't waste time looking at everything in the environment or trying to make stupid cinematic sequences. Get in, kill anything in your way, and complete the objectives. Straight and to the point.
Beating this game on Perfect Agent back in the day was a struggle but damn was it satisfying. The soundtrack is so damn good, this game was so ahead of its time in soooo many ways.
Back when games were fun full feature re-playable games with lots of locked content you had to earn by playing, cheats and full multiplayer didnt need to pay extra for (excluding expansion pak) Man I miss the good o'l days.
Seems like a cliché to pine about the good old days but gaming was new, naive but full of life and passion back then. We seem to take anything new and suck the soul out of it with corporate greed so I don't think we're wrong to feel that way. Same way I don't begrudge older generations from thinking music has lost a lot of authenticity too.
@@BlueZirnitra N64 was not new though... it was the 3rd(4th depending where you lived) generation of gaming for Nintendo console back when there was alot more offered to the consumer to justify the cost, not to include better competition with companies that breeded innovation, free demos, flat prices and lack of piracy in video games. Yes those were golden years before there was major emulation, paid demos(early access), dlc, cash cows, blaint broken/unfinished games or MOTS (more of the same).
3:54 he opened the locked door looking through the wall!? 17:49 i didn't know about this! 19:39 i love how you become the undercover agent if you play on perfect difficulty. 28:39 i never did figure out how to get in here consistently. it was locked often. with the NPCs being the only way to open it! Fantastic playthough! you must have played this a lot! was a nostalgia rush in a reasonable amount of time! thank you for this!
You are literally what dark sims can’t defeat in combat simulator! I felt your pain when you missed your psychosis gun shot on Maian SOS and when Elvis walked into the proximity mine in deep sea!
@@Graslu00 Truely, I still have it and the console, expansion pack, max completion and still fire it up and wreck my kids on the multiplayer mod. I train with Perfect sims only.
The best thing about perfect dark wasn't the gameplay, story, music, or graphics. It was the bonding experience everyone enjoyed during multi-player. So many years of fun went into playing multi-player in my younger days. Still my favorite shooter.
"Just try it, you Scandinavian freak!" Always loved how oddly descriptive that ridiculous insult was. Also could never figure out how Dark got winter clothes for that mission while almost dying in a crash and dressed like a stewardess.
Yo these are my literal thoughts. I always said they should've had her still dressed as a stewardess and have her find those clothes in a locker or something from the crash.
@@keshiakat I can see that concept working. Like at the start of the mission, she needs to find the winter clothing before she freezes to death, like her health starts to drain until you equip it, or instead of the health drain, her aim could be way off, because of shivering from the cold, or if the developer is a total asshole, they could implement both at the same time.
My first ever fps game where it all began Perfect Dark was perfect. Thank you to the homie that gave me the console and a bunch of games including Duke Nuke em and this one 🙏🏾
It took my almost 20 years, but i finally beat Perfect dark… on Agent. Granted, the problem was that we were playing in Grandma’s house with a massive glare on the TV, and my brother too the n64, but I did it finally on XBLA.
Fun fact about the game. In A51, if you interupt Jonathan and escape with the bike instead of the shuttle, he can later be found in CI as one of the defenders.

I genuinely thought you were gonna say Dolph Lundgren would be the best choice for Joanna Dark. I think I could live with that if he had the iconic bob.
@@BlueZirnitra lmao.
@@BlueZirnitra dark lundgren
He could also play Cassandra DeVries lol
I remember playing this game everyday with my older brother RIP, these were great memories brings me back. Thanks
May these memories live forever.
This game was so good. I mastered GoldenEye and then played this. The simple sound of picking ammo up, reloading and shooting was so satisfying.
I remember Game informer giving this game a score 99 out of 100! This was easily the Perfect Game for it's time. What game ever offered you the ability to play as the Villain Enemies while your friend goes through story mode at the same time? Pure Epic!!
Sincerely,
You would think that Halo or something would have incorporated that game mode into one of their games by now. It was so awesome.
@@HandsomeDanVacationRentals Unheard of!
@@RyzenZegend yeah the guys at Rareware really created an incredible and Uber creative game that was so well thought out. It’s amazing what they came up with but hearing about how the team members worked 80 hour work weeks for 2 years and 7 months really shows with how this game is bulging at the seams with creativity.
It's so satisfying to see you playing, every headshot makes me smile =)
This is such a nostalgia trip for me. I spent so many hours on this with my long lost friend Ross.
Thank you for this, This game is so amazing and I wish it was more accessible. The soundtrack and settings just put my mind at ease.
Wow this is such a time warp. I played this sooooo much in highschool. It really is a gem to this day. The way the characters react to getting shot still feels..... satisfying. What game today does this where you can shoot someone in the leg and they react and you can shoot guns out if their hands. Idk but thank you so much for this playthrough. Killer job
Red dead redemption 2. There's your answer for the most part
@@angelosterkel9251 Good point, haven't played it yet but it looks amazing. The first 2 red dead games i played a ton. (Yes there was one before redemption lol) im just old.
Just watching the way you play in Perfect mode makes me want to play this all over again, solid play.
wow this game was amazing back in the day, this game, goldeneye and the zelda games truly made owning a n64 worth it 10000%.
This game was and remains one of the great masterpieces of gaming history
No, it was not. It`s a mindless action crime.
It's crazy that you showed a lot of stuff that I missed when I had this game. Damn. You're good!
Well, 20 years later I have my own cleaning bot at least. Still waiting on the flying taxis.
the grenade in the datadyne extraction level I never knew aout this! :O
great job! would never be able to play an entire game without damage!
This is not just only a master piece of gameplay, it's also about the CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESEEEEEEEEEE
Aged like a find wine still one of the GOATs
Pelagic II was my absolute favorite level. The sheer amount of baddies to mow down and pump bullets into was so satisfying
Not to mention the music in that level is so futuristic
"Sneak through by blowing up the wall with this explosive crate!"
Perfect Dark is simply in the top 5 best games ever made. Not nostalgia. Just best games ever.
Couple of things that jumped out at me when watching/listening...
1) the main musical motif is very similar to Blade Runner's end credits
2) the skedar death noises reminded me of It Began In Afrika by the Chemical Brothers, probably same sample library
Thanks for uploading this, it was very nostalgic 🙏
It does! The devs were inspired by Blade Runner on many parts of this game. The first level showing the full moon behind the tower is part of that, inspired by the scene where Deckard meets Rachael - angled buildings and everything.
As for the Skedar noises I'm not sure, but it's definitely possible as most if not all sounds come from different libraries.
Thank you for the upload. I really forgot how Rare made sound and music such a big part of Perfect Dark.
I played the shit out of this game when I came out, but I clearly never played as much as you. It's crazy to me that you can learn exactly where the enemy's head will be before the door opens.
I enjoyed watching this more than playing it myself.
Damn you're a beast...this is my favorite N64 game (and in my top 5 of all time). And what you did here is amazing, especially how quickly you did everything without taking damage.
Whoa! This game it's awesome, Graslu00! I never played it! Wonderful playthrough! Very good! Congrats, friend!
This brings back so many memories!!
Man, this is awesome.
This makes me wanna play Perfect Dark again.
But in 4K. 🤣
Play it on Xbox.
@@pneuma7183 I got the Xbox version it’s exactly like I remember it on the N64
This had to be one of the most satisfying longplays ive seen in a long time. Thanks.
One thing I like about your playthroughs is that you don't waste time looking at everything in the environment or trying to make stupid cinematic sequences.
Get in, kill anything in your way, and complete the objectives. Straight and to the point.
Great gameplay the weapons in Perfect Dark are awesome! Love the guard’s comments and I always loved the music and level designs.
The greatest game ever made, deserves a full remake
Yesssssssssss
Imagine the graphics then
I have faith the new Perfect Dark for Series X will be really good.
@@soundwave513 me too but I would love it even more if they add the remake of the original in a package, I would gladly play 100 bucks lol
Technically amazing, but I prefer the bond IP
I used to troll my friends with the laptop gun deployed as a sentry gun in VS mode. They hated that thing so much. Lol
I used to love switching on the lights during 'extraction' and blinding De Vries' bodyguards before they could get a single shot in
Beating this game on Perfect Agent back in the day was a struggle but damn was it satisfying.
The soundtrack is so damn good, this game was so ahead of its time in soooo many ways.
Back when games were fun full feature re-playable games with lots of locked content you had to earn by playing, cheats and full multiplayer didnt need to pay extra for (excluding expansion pak)
Man I miss the good o'l days.
Omg i remember renting this from blockbuster and the first thing i remember was the reload animation lol cause im like goldeneye didn't have that
@@STARWARS-GUY33 ya man!
Seems like a cliché to pine about the good old days but gaming was new, naive but full of life and passion back then. We seem to take anything new and suck the soul out of it with corporate greed so I don't think we're wrong to feel that way. Same way I don't begrudge older generations from thinking music has lost a lot of authenticity too.
@@BlueZirnitra N64 was not new though... it was the 3rd(4th depending where you lived) generation of gaming for Nintendo console back when there was alot more offered to the consumer to justify the cost, not to include better competition with companies that breeded innovation, free demos, flat prices and lack of piracy in video games.
Yes those were golden years before there was major emulation, paid demos(early access), dlc, cash cows, blaint broken/unfinished games or MOTS (more of the same).
@@STARWARS-GUY33 there was also that sweet gangster grip animation that would happen when you snuck up on an enemy while holding a pistol
3:54 he opened the locked door looking through the wall!?
17:49 i didn't know about this!
19:39 i love how you become the undercover agent if you play on perfect difficulty.
28:39 i never did figure out how to get in here consistently. it was locked often. with the NPCs being the only way to open it!
Fantastic playthough! you must have played this a lot! was a nostalgia rush in a reasonable amount of time! thank you for this!
You really take the perfect part seriously. Nice run.
Loved re-watching this. I was mid 20’s when this came out and was very adept at it. Watching you you reminds me of how it was done.
this game is absolutely stunning in 4k! and you are a f*cking LEGEND at playing it…
Massive hit of nostalgia, cheers for the upload!
You are literally what dark sims can’t defeat in combat simulator!
I felt your pain when you missed your psychosis gun shot on Maian SOS and when Elvis walked into the proximity mine in deep sea!
My favorite game of all time. So underrated and so ahead of it's time.
How am I still not sick of this game or it’s soundtrack 20+ years later

@@Graslu00 Truely, I still have it and the console, expansion pack, max completion and still fire it up and wreck my kids on the multiplayer mod. I train with Perfect sims only.
Because cyberpunk atmosphere in media never gets old

The best thing about perfect dark wasn't the gameplay, story, music, or graphics. It was the bonding experience everyone enjoyed during multi-player. So many years of fun went into playing multi-player in my younger days. Still my favorite shooter.
"Just try it, you Scandinavian freak!" Always loved how oddly descriptive that ridiculous insult was. Also could never figure out how Dark got winter clothes for that mission while almost dying in a crash and dressed like a stewardess.
Yo these are my literal thoughts. I always said they should've had her still dressed as a stewardess and have her find those clothes in a locker or something from the crash.
@@keshiakat I can see that concept working. Like at the start of the mission, she needs to find the winter clothing before she freezes to death, like her health starts to drain until you equip it, or instead of the health drain, her aim could be way off, because of shivering from the cold, or if the developer is a total asshole, they could implement both at the same time.
@@kylemurphy597 see now that would be e even more impressive for game play if they would have implemented that.
The cutscenes were filled with such ridiculous dialogue and weird animations. I love it.
I love that cameo scene with him and Mr Blonde
Watching Graslu00 play this game is one of my favorite guilty pleasures
You are insanely good at this!!
My first ever fps game where it all began Perfect Dark was perfect. Thank you to the homie that gave me the console and a bunch of games including Duke Nuke em and this one 🙏🏾
The sound design is epic
The reload animation of the gun is just awesome!
It took my almost 20 years, but i finally beat Perfect dark… on Agent. Granted, the problem was that we were playing in Grandma’s house with a massive glare on the TV, and my brother too the n64, but I did it finally on XBLA.
funny that this game is set in 2023
What a great game!With tons of replayabilty!
Fun fact about the game. In A51, if you interupt Jonathan and escape with the bike instead of the shuttle, he can later be found in CI as one of the defenders.
This is one of the best multiplayer games ever made. If you were alive in that era you would understand.
I really appreciate the effort you go to for the video quality as well as the skill of gameplay. Subbed
