I was 12 years old, listening to this masterpiece on my N64. Looking at the wall and thinking about sad things, humanity, extraterrestrial life. AT 12! This music opened my mind.
The confines of an artificially-generated environment did spark the same melancholy/philosophical vibes in me. I still feel like the limits of a Mario 64 map are eerily watching me
EXACTLY. What the hell is this piece of music? It has fallen from a sky whose surface is made of our hearts' membrane. I don't even know what I have just said but it makes sense, These really are tears
@@gruntage95 I'm sad for you. But it is good to find solace in music. It transports and enhances the meaning(s) of life. Your pet must've found it's way into your soul and time itself :) cheers from Brazil
2020 and this song is still a banger. One of the best songs from the best FPS on N64. This, Chicago, G4 Building, Carrington Institute, and many more. This OST will always be legendary
@@MarkLoweCEO I had an old bootleg CD of 50 Cent rapping on some Tenchu 2 beats. Unfortunately, it was stolen from me in college. I've never been able to find the songs since, salty.
Perfect Dark was a gift from the video game god.. for many reasons : single player campaign, possibilities given in multiplayer mode and the epis soundtrack .... I get goosebumps when listening to this. great memories of endless gaming sessions with friends..
@@Hovezipwn Bruh, they're both made by the same person. Both games run on the same engine, use the same composer using the same music creation tools, most of the people that worked on Goldeneye worked on Perfect Dark. They were split into 2 separate games during development.
***** Do zombie-style. Dark Sims and fistsim. It's a little fun, but hell I want to forget how stupid that kind of is, especially when the dizziness sticks after dying.
i don't know, but every time i swim under water this song just plays in my head at random. ever since i was a kid, it gives me serenity when i'm in the water.
God, I remember being 14 years old and putting this music on a loop, just lying in bed and staring at a wall. Of course things have changed in the last 12 years - now whilst staring at a wall I play it on RU-vid instead of my N64.
Wow. I just don't know what to say. This song has an air of tragedy, class and beauty all at the same time. Brings back good memories. Makes me long for a beautiful woman.
I was so happy when we got this on the Xbox 360 and even happier when it made its way to the Xbox One due to the backwards compatibility program. It's a shame that I can never find an online game though.
I can feel the synthesized bass vibrating against the window and computer tower with the volume up pretty high. At this hour alone at home on Halloween night, it is insane music.
@walecs2 Why do people say PD's storyline was bad? I mean seriously, it was pretty epic. Two warring megacorporations involved in a situation that eventually escalates into an intergalactic war with freaking aliens! Seriously, when I first played it, I totally didn't expect that to happen.
My bad. It's still great music nonetheless. I remember way back when I had this game, a N64 but no expansion pak. I think there was only like 5 or 6 songs that played during multiplayer, this being one of them. Never really paid it much mind until recently when playing the XBLA port and I heard this song. I never payed this song much attention, but I have newfound appreciation for it. Its similar to some of the music I'm exploring right now and really was a blast from the past.
"A chemical cocktail that warps the perceived reality of the target. Good becomes bad, bad becomes good: enemies and friends change places. Another one of the darker research projects from Trent Easton's Area 51." - Truly this is the weapon of Kings :-P
When I finally beaten this stage on perfect agent (after perfectly memorizing all hiding/cover spots, enemy locations, killing the golden magnum guy after he outlived his usefulness, and then using his only bullet to destroy the saucer in one hit) I was so happy... it really felt like an accomplishment... something the games of today kinda lack...
People play the classics because they like a challenge, not a roller coaster ride of simulated dangers and yearly franchises where every single game was the same with re-colored guns and new sound-effects. Before the yearly "Call of Duty" game, we had kickass games that required some real thinking and reflexes to win. They still make some old-fashioned challenging games, but thanks to the internet, they will never get the 10/10 scores that these "cinematic" and repetitive games do today.
Yeah, I miss the days where games had more in depth styles and actual difficulty. This probably sounds cringe, but the internet made this hobby much more "normie" friendly. Games got to such a large scale that it's a mass market, thus everything is the same now. TL;DR: Perfect Dark is kickass.
Brings such nostalgic memories.. almost makes me kinda sad. Maybe because all the friends that i used to play it with aren't around anymore.. Maybe that's why i'm always trying to get with someone to play with online. .. Yea you just read that.
Its been so long ago and games mes nowadays are moneytized all the time and patch updated. This was an era of time with pure quality. And offcourse memmories of the joy of our young selfs
@BiggJern Man,youre gunna make me cry.I absolutely loved this game.This video along with your comment,brings back so many nostalgic memories from my childhood,I remember inviting all my friends from school,and cousins and their friends just to play this,Goldeneye & Turok:Rage Wars.It's almost heartbreaking,how the kids of today are most likely never going to play the games that we grew up playing in the golden age of video games.
For reals! man, i get memories when i was 12 years old playing this in my older brothers bedroom, trying the mission over and over to beat them. Perfect Dark for N64 was one of the best games for that system, the one for X360 was a disappointment. Thanks TT for putting this up, Luvs ya
