Perfect Dark Perfect Agent Playthrough (Actual N64 Capture) - WAR!

This is part 20 of my capture of me playing through the solo missions of Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64 using an actual Perfect Dark cartridge. I'm playing on Perfect Agent difficulty.

As I've said before, this mission is a broken, imbalanced piece of shit. Endlessly spawning enemies should not be used outside of a special survival mode because it breaks the balance of the game by overwhelming you. You can easily get stuck right before the first Skedar King because the Skedar soldiers won't stop spawning and you can't kill them fast enough to outpace their onslaught.

The only way I've ever been able to beat this mission is to stay near the AI Maians and hopefully keep them alive long enough to fend off the endlessly spawning Skedar soldiers and kill the first Skedar King. I've seen other people speed run it, but I've never beaten this mission using their tactic.

Right before the third Skedar King I like to hide in one of the stasis chambers to cause the Skedar to run past me without engaging in a gun fight. I saw someone do this before in another video, so I decided to copy it. It works quite well.

I despise this mission.

Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable with native widescreen mode enabled. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the N64's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.

I'm using a standard N64 controller.
