Can we finally admit that this game fucking sucks?

Having a cool meme sound byte doesn't make the game any less boring.

Swapping this game for Sonic the Hedgehog as the main pack-in title for the Genesis was one of the best things that Sega did in the 90s.

Well, Sega always wanted to remind everyone that 16-bit is bigger than 8-bit. Boast about bits was their main shtick until the Super Nintendo was released.

>>6933078
This game has to be judged within the era it was released. The early Genesis titles were about bringing the arcade experience into your home. Altered Beast did exactly that and was considered a great port at the time and it still is. This is just another ill-informed post confirming the current state of nu /vr/

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 28 01:00:48 2020 No.6933243 >>6933173 What a shitshow, but I will admit that is is pretty cool that it had the whole "chunks of enemies fly toward the screen" effect from the arcade version.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 28 01:14:37 2020 No.6933285 AB should be cut some slack, it was one of the earliest Mega Drive games made and has only a 512k ROM.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 28 01:15:56 2020 No.6933291 >>6933270 The GBA game felt like a retarded, but enthusiastic hommage, which is why I disliked it less than the Genesis port. I'll concede that it's hard to call it an overall better game, though.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 28 01:19:38 2020 No.6933304 >>6933254 The basic gameplay is all there but the framerate is way too slow and it's not like there's _that_ much action going on that the Amiga can't keep up.

>>6933371
Nowhere did I attempt to rewrite history. Altered Beast is a C- of a game, which still places it several steps above the majority of Genesis games. The amount of vitriol Altered Beast generates is ridiculous, that's the only point I was trying to make. Which you helped illustrate beautifully, I might add.

Anonymous Mon Sep 28 01:41:17 2020 No.6933383

I never really understood what the big deal was about the game when my friends played it in the arcade. Though I did share the same juvenile chuckle when they did this:

When I went to Japan shortly after, the two cheapest MD games you could find were Sword of Sodan and that.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 28 01:43:10 2020 No.6933391 >>6933383 >Sword of Sodan They should've PAID people to play that garbage. Makes Altered Beast look like Streets of Rage 2 by comparison.

Yes, my posts have been extremely vitriolic so far as opposed to you just being needlessly hyperbolic and melodramatic.

>Nowhere did I attempt to rewrite history. Altered Beast is a C- of a game
Sorry, then. I thought you were this guy:

Altered Beast did exactly that and was considered a great port at the time
