He could have done without the raping it's a smidge too much.

Exploration is ill-advised.
There's a bit in Skyfall where Bond is definitely rapey considering the context. (and a bit not long after where he's counter-rapey towards the villain by implying he's bi) He's worse in the books. There's at least one case where he screws a lesbian straight.

And I'm pretty sure they did mix up Oddjob with Knick-knack.

Is it not default move with one, aim with other? That's the way to go. Shoulder buttons for targeting

the default is that the C-buttons aim and the control stick walks. Which is awkward IMO compared to using the C-buttons to walk and strafe and the control stick to aim

Probably the racism one because that would be keeping in tone with the novel.

Which was really racist...

Bond intended to stay alive on his own terms. Those terms included putting Odd-Job or any other Korean firmly in place, which in Bond’s estimation was lower than apes in the mammalian hierarchy.

Oh absolutely. He wrote about half-Chinese/half-black people in Dr. No, calling them "chigroes" and that they were the ugliest people in the world.

Even more hilariously, he wrote in Diamonds Are Forever (just reread it) that Bond had an "affection for negroes", after discussing American racism towards blacks. As Felix Leiter tells him, "You can't even order a jigger here. You have to order a jegro" or something like that.

Having said that, as much more brilliant Goldfinger's plot in the movie was than the book (he literally just wanted to rob Fort Knox), Goldfinger had a waaaay bigger gold fetish. Eating gold-colored food, drinking only gold-coloured champagne, and even hiring exclusively Koreans for their "gold faces".

It was Halo before Halo. It didn't have to be the best shooter out there, it just had to run smooth on a console and have easy couch multiplayer. It was a huge success because it competently did something that had mostly failed on the N64.

goldeneye is the worst james bond game; there's one on the ps2 that has a grappling hook which lets you spider-man across the room in multiplayer. That one is much better.

For a lot of people who didn't play PC games it was the first real shooter they played outside of anus console ports of Doom or Wolf 3D that looked and ran like garbage, although there was something weird about my friends freaking the gently caress out over Goldeneye after I played Quake II around the same time.
