the only section of this site that doesn't suck anymore is the retro. I'm so sick of these obviously biased and uninformed IGN reviews. Tell that to the much praised Ninja Gaiden. "I'm pretty sure everyone else in the industry knows that getting shot in the back is not fun" The biggest disappointment is a complete lack of cooperative play. Seriously, does IGN even have their editors play these games before unduly ripping into them? Golden Axe: Beast Rider is a sub-par hack-and-slash sharing only the most basic of elements with its predecessors. If you're having problems, turn up the speakers. I could see a 7 given, considering they run at 60fps and contain a fair share of textures that are crystal clear. if Chris Roper has any issue with timing, it's because at games. The reversals cancel any attack animations. What is with the IGN Sega hate, anyway? Are there only Nintendo fanboys left in the staff? It gets really annoying.Īnyway, the combat isn't terrible, it's decent. I've only played about an hour into this game and it is FAR above a 3.2. Someone who paid for the game would work harder to find the enjoyment more so if they said it stunk and said it was a waste of money you know it Stunk. I never trust the opinion of someone who got a game for free because they have no stake in it. Honestly why do people Go by these guys reviews anyway? I find their taste in games suck IMO. This game it Looong.)so I could start on dead Space which I got he same day. I'm telling the truth when I say I'm happy I bought it had to make myself put it down (I'm about four hours in. Sure the games got some bad textures and it could have used some more polish the it keep a solid 60 fps so at least it's not a framey mess. The Beasts are cool for the most part (The Minigore is godly in combat) The environments are great, it truly FEELS like an ancient wasteland, like something out of Conan or Beastmaster. In fighting terms she's a counter puncher. The Dodge and Parry systems are nice because they fit her being she's smaller then the people she fighting so it wouldn't be realistic for her to be able to fully block their strikes so she dodges and parries(turns the blows aside). I can see why people want Co-op but this is Tyris's story any Co-op would feel tacked on and would be less enjoyable. I'm giving Sega the win on this one, not players.I'm liking the game so far. Looking back to YouTube videos what Golden axe was this game is a dramatic improvement so much so that I can't see anyone ever wanting to play the original again unless using only two or three buttons is your ideal gaming heaven. Heck I might not have even become a journalist The. It is a solo game and my only real issue with it is that it is broken up in very small chunks which kinda all feel like tutorials and on top of that the in game menu where you are at seems lacking. If it wasnt for the arcade game Golden Axe, I doubt I would be as interested in gaming as I am today. For me, an enjoyable and surprisingly good unexpected find. Not saying this is a hidden gem but it clearly is not a 4/10 game which it got. After letting this game stew 10-15 years losing that comparison and viewing it as it's own entity and merits this game is much better than it was examined back in the day. Looks like with a health and mana system this game was viewed as a terrible sister or brother to that hugely successful game. Another third reason for the low scores are a competition factor towards God of War. When I reviewed comments on this game it seems players of more recent dates are scoring this game higher than those who reviewed it at launch. It's very important to learn the counter system and I can guess that stubborn fans who would rather bash the new system then learn it would rather just bash the game and say how terrible it is. I'm guessing this game had too much to learn in way of how to get good at the game. Number two goes hand in hand with number one and that is people don't want to evolve in their gameplay. Number one is the Sacred 3 effect.the game is not the same as previous games within the series and is being leashed out against. I surmise the low scores have two reasons for appearing. With a counter system and the ability to ride beasts with different abilities and enemies which can knock you off your beast and use them this game can get deeper than most trivial button mashers. I was expecting a simple hack and slash and found that this game surpasses what I was expecting. I was expecting I've never played the original or previous golden axe games and after giving this game a try I'm perplexed at the low scores.
