I find most N64 games to be overrated; the gems are few and far between.

Goldeneye is a product of its time. There really wasn't anything else quite as good in regards to local multi-player death matches. There's still some fun to be had in that regard but we've moved so far beyond it that even its best aspects are kind of just a curiosity these days. The single player experience has aged like rotten eggs.

Even back then though I was way more into Quake and in particular Team Fortress but if you wanted a death match with a bunch of friends in the same physical space without resorting to a LAN party, Goldeneye was the way to do it.

Even my friends who have played hundreds upon hundreds of hours of the game still think this is the game's biggest issue.

BTW, wasn't there a remake of Goldeneye using the Source engine? Or am I imagining things?

It's out on XBOne now too, right? As part of that Rare Collection that looks like it could be the greatest games compilation ever (and it's ridiculously cheap too).

If you play The Witcher 3 and still get back to modern JRPGs, get your head checked :lol:

Trash implies that you hate every aspect of a game or you think it does something so egregious with it's design that you can't get past. With so many wonderful systems, excellent writing, fun and engaging combat, and beautiful scenery, I have doubts that you dislike every one of those things. It's fine for you to have an "unpopular gaming opinion" but if you don't detail why, what's the point?
