@ ArtOfAngels: As much as I hate to admit it, having spent countless hours of my youth playing it, Goldeneye really hasn't aged well. The framerate is awful, the lack of a second analog stick hurts the controls, and the muddy, blocky visuals are almost painful to look at. There's a great many better shooters out there nowadays.
@ ssj12: I know you're biased against console games, so the fact that you bolded every console-exclusive FPS on that list isn't exactly unexpected. Also, SS2 and Bioshock are sufficiently removed from each-other (the latter is just the spiritual sequel to the former, and not a direct sequel) that I see no issue with listing both. Finally, Wolf3D, like Goldeneye, hasn't aged well at all; it's basically an FPS in its most basic form, which really isn't anything to write home about nowadays. |
So the first FPS ever made hasnt aged well... the mod community says different. As for GoldenEye, the best console FPS ever made, has aged just liike Perfect Dark. |
That one thing alone should keep it out of the #1 spot. |
That still does not mean it doesn't deserve a place in the top 10, but i agree #1 is a bit to high. maybe #5? |
It definitely should hit the Top 10 but putting a game like that in the #1 spot shows extreme console bias. Just for a frame of reference, Half-Life came out just a year after Goldeneye. Look at those two games together and you get a proper understaning of just how far behind console FPS games are (doubly so if you factor in the terrible N64 control system). |
Goldeneye brought FPS to the Mario mass. That's a huge achievement. |
It's also a huge achievement to get a mentally challenged child to understand Hamlet.
Like I said, putting Goldeneye at #1 shows huge console bias. It's basically ignoring the droves of bigger and better PC shooters that came before and after Rare's game.
