Literally better than Golden Axe 1 and 2 Anonymous Mon Mar 23 08:31:06 2020 No.6283197 [Reply] [Original]

people hate it because it was released after The Revenge of Death Adder (aguarbly the best Golden Axe) and most of the backgrounds look awful and uninspired (especially in comparison to GA1), people don't have nostalgia for it either because of the limited availability outside Japan, but the gameplay is better than GA1 and GA2

Yeah it's basically Zelda 1 but better. Shame Sega focused too much on producing knockoffs of NES hits to keep the Master System relevant in the race instead of encouraging the talent involved (in-house teams, Aspect, SIMS, fucking Arc System Works) to do better original designs -like Westone did with WB3-.

Good achievement completing that bugger. I bought it when I was about 8 at some gym boot sale thinking it was the beat em up, never got very far in it even though I spent hours in it. don't think I was prepared for that type of game, I grew up playing sega arcade type stuff.

The new art style wasn't well received - the smooth, painterly look of the old sprites was replaced with a much more conventional appearance, and none of the original characters were playable - even if two of the new characters looked and performed identically to their old counterparts, it seemed like a needless change, and a change that robbed the game of its visual distinctiveness.

Considering that Streets of Rage 2 had been released the previous year, GA3 had already been outdone long before its release.

Worse, time was moving further into the 90's, and the cultural touchstones of the 80's were already beginning to fade into memory. Conan the Barbarian had made Schwarzenegger, but Schwarzenegger had moved on from sword and sorcery and into modern day and sci-fi.

It's not a bad game by any means. It was just a bad game by the standards of 1993.

As a fan of the series, I remember being incredibly disappointed when I saw the review in magazines. Some of the sprites look allright but the backgrounds look literally like came from a Master System game. After the release of Golden Axe RODA, that was just unacceptable.

Anonymous Mon Mar 23 13:02:02 2020 No.6283573

Golden Axe 1 was a notable improvement over most of the beat em ups from the same era, it just than Final Fight came out and made it look obsolete. You have to compare it to shit like Double Dragon 1.

By the time 3 came out, you had stuff like The Punisher or Revenge of Death Adder in arcades and Street of Rage 2 in Megadrive.

tl;dr You had to be there

Nobody would have expected an arcade perfect port on the Genesis. But an approximation could have been attempted, a version for the Sega CD/32X would have moved units, and a Saturn version probably would have sold well. That it hasn't been ported to any system since its 1992 release boggles the mind, seeing how popular it was in the arcades.

DD1 > Golden Axe 1 and 2, easily.

People act like Double Dragon is primitive or something, but it's not. It's easily still one of the best beat em ups ever and even outdoes the games it inspired (Final Fight, which looks great but is just meh overall)
