My house rules don’t have an explicit rule - go ahead and pick Oddjob - but know we will loudly judge you and team up to ensure that mistake doesn’t happen again.
There was a controller layout for Goldeneye and Perfect Dark where you used two N64 controllers, so you had two analog sticks and two Z buttons. It was extremely awkward to use A or B to cycle through weapons or open doors because of the button placement, but Goldeneye was actually the first two-thumbstick FPS game I played.
Someone else said the same thing a couple weeks ago but I had the opposite experience. When it came out I’d already been playing stuff like Doom on PC so I already knew the controls on for GE were awkward, but I made the adaptation back then. Now it’s still in muscle memory.
Hell yeah that’s awesome! I played a lot of GE back in the day, so the muscle memory has got to still be there for me too. Wonder how many hours it’d take to unlock it.
Yeah GoldenEye is one of those games that was absolutely incredible at the time it came out - but is painful to go back to now. Which is too bad, because the game was amazing and had a ton of replayability at the time.
I never could get a hang of using the N64 controller for FPS. Doubly so when you’re facing Oddball as an opponent.
Nobody is allowed to pick Oddjob! House rules in every house I’ve played in.

I don’t think I’d like it now, but back before two-thumbstick FPS games existed, I didn’t even question it.

I wish I had known back in 1997!
Had to lookup a video, this is how it worked: https://youtu.be/dZaEpugk3hY?t=235
Yeah, I had the weirdest experience going back and trying it recently. Was hard to play. But back then, boy those controls felt so amazing and smooth!

It’s actually possible to play it with modern controls with the right control scheme and remapping. Feels great!
License to Kill
Knowing how to crouch
Both were not optional
