    Great video as always Josh. There's one small (and almost entirely inconsequential) thing I can add. That AIMS-20 wasn't just a "random sci-fi machine gun". Its an actual prototype weapon called the HK OICW. It was all the rage back in the late 90s/early 00s as the "future of infantry weapons". The main barrel is a 20mm airbursting grenade launcher, and the underslung bit is a 5.56mm rifle. And then it was cancelled because someone in the Department of Defense finally came to work sober and went "this is wildly impractical".

    Oh my God, you covered Nightfire. I can't wait to dig into this video! This game was one of those absolutely TREASURED childhood games for me. I have this core memory of me playing Nightfire on my Xbox while waiting for the airships in Final Fantasy 11. Or when I would wait for a group to fill up. I played Nightfire. I know, I KNOW the game isn't the best, and I've watched sooo many reviews on it to feel my nostalgic thirst for an old time favorite. But goddamn, it was my comfort game for a long time. That mission with the snipers, and you crawl through the abandoned power plant. I remember in high school asking my crush out, and her rejecting me. And how I spent that night working through that mission. It's just so baked into my head, this weird dream. Almost liminal how this game was so involved during my high school years. And if I think of playing it while I played Final Fantasy 11, that means it was previous to WoW coming out. WoW gave me a lot of great memories. But WoW didn't come out until after high school. -- I missed that Playstation train, so when people talk about Tomb Raider or Final Fantasy 7, Twisted Steel as their childhood games, I wasn't playing those ones. I had Nintendo. Super Nintendo in elementary school. Mario and Donkey Kong. DK2 has so many elementary school memories. Middle school was Golden Eye, Donkey Kong 3d. Command and Conquer. High School was Xbox, Nightfire, Final Fantasy 11, Warcraft 3. -- I wish Josh Strife would cover Earth and Beyond, because I can't seem to find any good videos covering it. And I played that game for what feels like 3 months before quitting, lol...

    I remember playing the PC version of this a lot (I didn't have a PS2, Xbox, or GameCube back then). While the PC version did lack the vehicle levels, the levels themselves were larger than the console versions, sometimes slightly, sometimes much more. Another thing is the PC version was MUCH tougher, compared to the console version. One good example is the level title "High Treason" (I think it's called Phoenix Rising on console). This level is VERY long on PC and can easily take many people over an hour. This is that major "difficulty spike" level, especially since there are probably more enemies in this level than probably half or most of the console version. Unlike the console version where you can get out much quicker, it can take a while going through the building. While you don't have to go through every floor, you will have to go through many of them, plus the stairwell which are flooded with enemies. Not saying it's the "hardest" level, but for 1st time players, it could be a challenge if they aren't expecting it. There is one thing that also wasn't said, because the console and PC levels differ, the ordering can change. Example: After the Chain Reaction level, Bond sees the vent, then it cuts to bond on the rook with Kiko. At least this is how THAT level ended for consoles. On PC, THAT bond going into the vent starts a completely different level as Bond infiltrate's the base. It still ends the same at the end with Kiko knocking bond out with the tranquiller dart, but still. Another level is the Airfield Ambush (2nd level). On consoles, I think this was where you used the snowmobile and car, but on PC, you get a stealth section mission (at least the first part). Moving through the base in stealth took me a while back then (I was in my younger teen years). However, I LOVED the sniper section when you have to cover Zoe from the tower with a sniper rifle. I did eventually get the PS2 version years later. I honestly like both versions as each has their own positives. The PC version wasn't as bad as people kept saying. My guess, they played the console version first, when played the PC version, saw there were no vehicle sections on PC so instantly thought it was terrible.

    While me and my friends were too young to really enjoy goldeneye, we had this on gamecube. We played split screen multiplayer on this game so much that the original disc went bad and we had to get a second copy. The amount of time this game took me to beat the harder levels on singleplayer was crazy especially on the harder difficulties. I even found one of the guides for this game recently and ive been tempted to play through it using the guide. Such a nostalgic game for me, and considering it was a franchise tie in game (not specifically for any movie, but the last game in the brosnan line of james bond games I believe) and what a Gem of a game it was. This and Goldeneye are two of the best Bond games. I know people will say agent under fire but Nightfire was better. Also the name is badass. Edit: I looked it up, everything or nothing released in '04 and that I believe was the last brosnan based bond game. From russia with love was connery, and I stopped paying attention after that. Edit2: Its the Prima official Strategy Guide for 007 Nightfire

    Perfect dark was the upgraded version of goldeneye, with the option to have 8 simultaneous combatants in multiplayer, with 4 humans and 4 bots, and the bots can go to such difficulty, they were literal aimbots, one glance that "blink and you miss", some if not all times you just dropped dead and never knew what killed you so fast But tranquilizers, when applied to humans made their sight blurry, when applied to bots made their aim go haywire and walk randomly (we lovingly named that gun "the dancer")

    Pierce Brosnan will forever be the "perfect Bond" in the looks department, damn if he was playing Bond today we would be like Henry Cavill for boomers and gen X....and probably for every other age group! Also you unlocked memories of too many hours spent on Agent Under Fire 4 player split screen multiplayer in a 29 inch CRT tv. Meaning each individual screen was as big as a notepad and for sure none of my friends were screen snipping each other. Same with the Eragon game having 2 player co-op in the campaign. As a fan of the books that´s the only good thing that came out of that movie ^^

    Brosnan was the 'action figure' Bond. If you described James Bond and a Bond movie to a person who'd never watched one, they'd probably visualise someone like Brosnan's Bond. His run was okay, but very generic (if you class Bond as his own genre).

    It might be worth playing Agent Under Fire for comparison honestly. It followed a lot of the same beats like the gadgets, Bond moves, and the progression between on foot, driving, and on rails levels. The Nightshade character was also first introduced in Agent Under Fire, which is probably why she showed up in Nightfire for five mintues and then disappeared without a trace lol. The multiplayer didn't have the mini vehicles or quite as memorable maps, but it had some crazy modifiers, and you could use gadgets like the grapple phone whenever and wherever you wanted. Flying around with the grappling hook and low gravity turned on was an absolute blast as a kid.

    Nah, Goldeneye 64 was easily the best. This is probably second though. It's not as tight as Goldeneye, but it hits the Bond stuff so well compared to other games, together with the Need for Speed car sequences. It compiles the cool concepts from the Everything or Nothing game into a more solid package too!

    During Night Shift, after you tranquilize a guard, you can punch them while they're unconscious on the floor and they will despawn as if they were killed, but it won't count as killing them (making you fail the mission). This makes moving around a lot easier as you only need to take out each guard once.
