LJN didn't make games; they published them. And what they published was generally awful. Also, Maximum Carnage really isn't that good.

>> No.1284761

Yeah this one game LJN published totally makes up for all the crap.

It doesn't. And while this is fun, Separation Anxiety is better

This. Maximum Carnage is, honestly, outclasses by so many beat 'em ups it's not even funny. Not that isn't fun to play every once in awhile, but still..

>Seperation Anxiety
The graphics got worse, the story got worse, and the enemies were recycled even more.

The only thing that Seperation Anxiety did better was 2 player mode.

When I first popped this in my Genesis, my heart sank when I saw the LJN logo. I don't think it makes any mention on the cart.

Game is pretty good though.

Dude. Take off the goggles. Maximum Carnage has aged so poorly in comparison to SoR and FF. The music is fucking atrocious and the enemy variety is terrible.

If you nigs are actually trying to imply that the music in this game, eventhough made by Green Jelly, is anywhere near the quality of ACTUAL Green Jelly, you're out of your fucking minds.

Of course it wasn't, considering the hardware limitations of consoles at the time.

My point is, to your defense at the time, that because it's Green Jelly/Black Sabbath that should be good on it's own merit. Which it is not, because it is not up to the par of their work. Nor is it up to the par of contemporary beat'em ups at the time.

It was still a solid beat em up, just not up to par with SoR or FFi. Still had
>sprite renditions of comic panels as cut scenes
>large decently animated sprites
>branching paths with spidey or venom
>badass metal soundtrack

And I don't really give a shit about Sabbath or Jelly, since I'm judging the music based on what's in the game, not the artist's pedigree.

The only real flaw is a lack of multiplayer, which Anxiety fixed while breaking everything else.

I agree with mostly everything you say and yet I fucking hate playing this game. The extreme lack of character variety makes the gameplay so much worse than it needs to be. So in the end it feels so much more poorly paced than SoR/FF because you're essentially fighting the same fucking person forever and ever. You're never forced to change your approach, which is a core tenant of the genre.

tl;dr the game lacks variety which makes it a chore to play. especially since it's solo.

You aren't very good at this OP...

But let's pretend Maximum was anything but a pile a of shit, that still doesn't excuse the mountain of crap they made over the years.

Not sure what the AVGN has to do with it, I hate this attitude of people that you can't hate something because you came to your own conclusions, no you hate it because someone else does.
