Perfect Dark (N64) Gameplay ( Bot Multiplayer)

This video is of some bot multiplayer gameplay from the game Perfect Dark on the Nintendo 64.

I still had a lot of fun with the singleplayer of this game, but the multiplayer doesn't hold up well at all. Even back in the day its problems annoyed me.

You cannot spawn with a weapon in multiplayer. At least I could find no option to do so. This is very annoying since whoever gets a weapon first just kills you over and over.

Another problem, is the disarming mechanic. When you are unarmed you can punch someone and they lose their weapon which you can pickup. Sounds cool right?

Well, its a neat idea in theory, but the way its executed ruins the multiplayer. You spawn unarmed and by the time you manage to finally pickup a agun, you get punched once and lose that gun lol. On top of that when you get punched more than once your vision becomes extremely blurred making it nearly impossible to see.

EVEN WORSE, often when you die and respawn again, your vision is still blurry from the punches you took on your last life!!! This is maddening because it makes the game nearly unplayable when your vision is blurred like that.

Perfect Dark's multiplayer has a lot of amazingly cool weapons to use, but the multiplayer mechanics just feel broken or not tested enough. I prefer goldeney 007 multiplayer much more than Perfect Dark's.

Amen at description. Once i finally got Timesplitters, I never looked back to PD multiplayer. Stupid blur. Plus with the blur there was no winning in a fist fight against any computer opponent. The only time you win is with a lucky strike when they are low on life. I was beast at slapper only in GE, but I couldn't do anything to the bots with my fists. We used to put Fist sim in the games, and it was funny when he would corner you. Funny, yet annoying. Just seeing him come your way struck fear.

@teh2Dgamer Yea the multiplayer is perfect dark is needlessly frustrating because of that blurred vision crap. Oh man I never put the first sims in. That sounds absolutely terrifying. I actual fear getting punches more than getting shot in that game.

you play cod3 dont you?

[Lazyhoboguy]

@MarLucatero Not in a very long time. Why?

This was my childhood right here, i reeally only played PD for the multiplayer because you could do so much with it (even with the obvious flaws), but once Time Splitters 2 and Time Splitters: Future Perfect got released I never looked back. I still slide in the old PD cartridge every now and again though just for nostalgic novelty purposes.

I had so much fun with this game 8 years ago and today also. I dont know why people say goldeneye is better. This has more guns, maps and bots.

[DR1BLESS]

my best rank was 9, couldnt hold up the title so i like deranked and was able to stay at 11

Perfect Dark was a Perfect game I think, better than Goldeneye with the multiplayer, I was fantastic at this game

[osirisTHEimmortal]

2nd greatest FPS 1st is goldeneye

@ClassicGamerShow That couldn't be any FURTHER from the truth. The Conduit has very sharp textures, good gloss detail and better 3D figures of course. I own both Conduit 1 and 2 so I know for a fact. As much as I love perfect dark, your statement is invalid.

[matereymate]

so basically you didn't like the multiplayer of one of the top 3 fps ever made

because it's not cod?

yah fuck cod

[trekkian88]

@hockeylvr42 fuck yeah!!

Holy shit does this take me back. Back to the time where this was incredible graphics, and when video games were just fucking amazing. I used to play this game so much, my friend would actually take away the n64. Just hearing the background noise and the dying sound takes me sooooo far back into my childhood...
