A lot of people consider the RC-P90 to be the best weapon in the game, and while I totally agree about that, I also feel that the Gold PP7 is pretty much just as good as that weapon, since it is basically a PP7 with the power of the Golden Gun. That is insane!
Man, this was such a great video. I understand your initial frustrations at the controls. I went back to play it on the N64 a few years ago and just couldn't get to grips with it. I have to agree with what you said about unlocking your own cheat codes, it gives you that extra challenge. You deserve way more views on this as you've put in a lot of effort.
@@signalzero77 I have a video im gonna put up soon of a run I did on facility to get the cheat code. All I can say is it frustrated the life out of me trying to get that one. Good luck with unlocking the cheat codes and again, brilliant video dude!
Dude!! What a awesome video! It brought so much nostalgia back to when I had a 64 and played with my friends growing up. I look forward to the day where it might come out on the switch... Awesome content man!!! I enjoyed it so much, can't wait to see what you do next!!
Yeah hopefully it gets a port to the newer consoles sometime soon! I'm glad you liked the video! Next week I've got a video where my friend Damon and I rank a new energy drink called Ghost Energy. Then I'll be working on a video about the game that Rare made after Goldeneye called Perfect Dark! So stay tuned haha 😂 also if you want to see my friends and I play Goldeneye multiplayer for the first time, I just released that video yesterday if you haven't seen it!
This was an amazing watch!! Thoroughly enjoyed your blind playthrough and detailed commentary. Would have been awesome if it was 00 Agent though as that's the 'canon' playthrough I think due to added objectives, but I get why you didn't. It can be insanely hard on 00 Agent. Train, Control, Aztec and Silo can be nightmarish. The unofficial hardest difficulty is License To Kill mode where all stats are turned up fully except enemy health. This means you die instantly if hit, and they're very fast to react and have perfect aim. But then... The actual hardest unofficial difficulty is Dark License To Kill mode where even enemy health is up fully... and this leads to an absurd challenge 🤣 Finally, I appreciate you focussing on the Single Player campaign. So many people out there will always say that Multiplayer is where the game stood out as if that is it'd only value. I hate this. The campaign is so amazing and I replay it yearly. Anyway. Good stuff. Cheers :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Since this first playthrough I have played through on 00 Agent using all the different control styles and I loved it! I might make a short video about that experience and unlocking all the cheats legitimately which has also been a good time so far. I don't know that I'll ever try Dark License to Kill though! haha and yes the single player still holds up whereas I think the hype for the multiplayer is largely based in nostalgia.
Is this the 1964 emulator for GoldenEye and Perfect Dark? If so, I second this as its a superb emulator. It almost feels like the game was made for keyboard and mouse.
I've loved this game since day 1 as a kid. But I hate to say I've never even played Aztec! I always raged quit on secret agent difficulty... Should really go back and do it. 00 agent can fudge off tho! 😂 Glad you watched the movie. It's great. One of the best bonds.
Haha that's totally fair! Yeah I didn't leave my many deaths in the video for time reasons but Aztec is definitely one where you could get really far just to die to a random laser near the very end. It happened to me when I was at the very end, opening the exhaust bay doors once. But overall I really liked that level. I'm really glad I played the game and watched the movie! It made me want to watch more Bond films and play more Rare games. After I make a video about Goldeneye's multiplayer, I'm going to do Perfect Dark. Thanks for watching!
Surprisingly enough, Aztec is actually much harder than Egyptian. Egyptian is mostly just about figuring out the floor pattern in the Golden Gun room (I did that back in 1999 by looking for a map on the Internet), and it is very smooth sailing after that. You get several Body Armors on that stage on all difficulties, and your only task is to fight Baron Samedi a few times, which really isn't particularly hard at all if you aren't too reckless.
@@Peter_1986 After doing my 00Agent playthrough, I can definitely agree. I unlocked the cheat in Egyptian without trying to do so, since I remembered the pattern from my first playthrough! Figuring out the pattern through trial and error the first time however, was quite annoying! Haha 😅
Great Video dude I watched it all . Nice to hear fresh thoughts. Beating the game on 00 Agent is an accomplishment and a task . Enjoy the grind . Btw yes everyone's saying change the controls to 1.2 solitaire. It makes the game .
I loved this game so many memory's, coming home from school and jamming out . but I can see how it would be difficult for your first time playing this lol, good review well done! I just sub to your channel:)
Well I do plan to make more like this in the near future! I see this as the first of many videos in this style. I'm actually going to do a short follow up video about the multiplayer, the various control schemes, and how different controllers make the game feel. After that I'll be playing another classic game and making a video on it! Thanks for watching!
I've already got a couple of friends who have also never played the game to agree to play the multiplayer with me sometime next week or so. I'm very excited to try it out, and I'll definitely be documenting the experience for another video (likely much shorter)! Edit: oh and I will also be trying out all of the different control schemes!
@@signalzero77 I have been using the Solitaire control style for probably about 20 years now, and it feels really natural. That control style uses the C-buttons to move forward, step backward, and side-step left and right, while the control stick is used for looking around and turning around, so it is quite analogous to the arrow keys and the mouse on a computer.
I disagree about the controller. The second control mode, using left and middle prongs allows you to use the N64 controller like a keyboard + mouse. You use the D-pad like WASD and the stick like a mouse.
Fascinating, I'll have to try that out! Though I've never been one for keyboard and mouse FPS games. But I do plan to make a short follow up video going over the various control schemes and differences in gameplay feel between controllers.
The control style "1.1 Honey" is mostly useful for very slow movements, since it uses the analogue stick for movement. This can be useful if you try the super-hard customized challenge "Dark Licence To Kill", where all settings on 007 Mode have been maxed out, which makes you almost always die in one hit whereas the guards can take like 10-15 hits in the head and react extremely quickly. Amazingly enough, all stages in the game have actually been beaten with those settings, and the last stage that was beaten like this was the near-impossible stage Silo, back in 2013.

I forgot to say great video and I’m subbing…and btw playing solitaire controls really does address some of the control issues you addressed.
Awesome! I can't wait to try it for myself! Thanks for the sub!

@@mattspence1337 awesome! Let me know when you upload and I'll check it out!
@@mattspence1337 I still had a hard time legitimately getting the invincible cheat with keyboard and mouse LOL

Great video! I too agree about the control settings I found an emulator that takes keyboard and mouse inputs and it's absolutely AMAZING!
That would be interesting to try out!

Thanks for the dose of nostalgia and entertainment my guy

I think your analysis was fair and well thought out.
Solitaire controls is the only way to play, and multiplayer is the ideal way to experience it if you are going for the original “feel”.
I've already got a couple of friends who have also never played the game to agree to play the multiplayer with me sometime next week or so. I'm very excited to try it out, and I'll definitely be documenting the experience for another video (likely much shorter)!
Edit: oh and I will also be trying out all of the different control schemes!
