Terrible timing for a release.

Serious Sam is crazy fun. I loved playing with my brother on SS2, lots of cursing and laughing. Good times.

Throw this on the pile of this season's overlooked games along with Rayman Origins and Payday: the Heist.
Shadows of the Damned, Children of Eden, and El Shaddai being this Summer's ignored gems.

Payday was a pretty poorly executed great idea, imo. The mechanics and ballistics of the guns are pretty bad and I'm not a huge fan of doing the police L4D zombie style. The objective based gameplay is really awesome, even if some of the levels aren't designed that well.
1
I've heard similar complaints. Nonetheless, I have to pick it up at some point. I really want to play all of the games I mentioned...problem is that no one has them on r/gameswap. Eventually I'll get my hands on them.

I thought the graphics were terrible. Also, nothing like having every enemy bullet hit you.

I pubbed with the only 4 people online the other night in SS:HD. It was so much fun.

Fuck yeah, Serious Sam.
Me and a friend were just talking about this today.
3
I wish I could afford it but I spent all my dosh on skyrim :(

And now that I have actually gone to check r/gaming, it seems there's a number of SS3 posts sneaking in! Well done guys, I knew some of you would pull through.

If only I had the money this one slip pass my radar everything else was clogging it up.
2
I dunno man.. The first Serious Sam was awesome, because it was camp, low-budget and ugly but with damn nice playability and ridiculous humor.
Serious Sam 2... they had a bigger budget, end result not nearly as good.
Have to wait and see if Croteam got their edge back on SS3, but not getting my hopes up.
2
Never played 2 but I can say, with my 4 hours of gameplay, this seems to be right with First and Second encounter.
3
I bought it! :D
2
Me too. Waiting for friends to download it so we can do co-op campaign.
3
Serious Sam is still da shit! Gonna buy it tomorrow.
2
dude I got hammered with in Austin is the voice actor for Sam, he also DJ's at strip clubs. Pretty interesting night.
2
I will get this eventually, but for now... I am the Bat.

Oh Serious Sam; I think I love you. Sure you don't fit in well in a city and the secrets are insanely hard to find and you run like crap and you're exactly the same game and there are still those goddamn Kleer skeletons and I hear headless kamikazes in my nightmares and melee makes me warp and sometimes I'll do a useless kick instead of killing someone like the badass Sam is and reloading feels awful and there's no decent storyline just a bunch of events
I still love you, Sam.

I was looking forward to playing the shit out of this game.
But now, none of my friends are buying it, so I'd have nobody to co-op with.
My friends suck.

I just got my DOTA2 key so MW3 and Skyrim are going to collect dust for a few months. Also means I won't need to worry about steam sales either.
1
Could do with a demo really, although I enjoyed SS1 when it came out Im not sure Ill still enjoy that sort of experience all this time later.
1
Honestly, this is one of the games that will, probably, never sell amazingly in any one week (barring mad steam sales), but will continue to sell in a steady stream for years.
1
When games are made specifically for PC they turn out better imo.

I played this for a couple of hours tonight, it's really a blast. People got all excited about RAGE being a cool 'throwback' FPS but Serious Sam is the real throwback- it's the most raw fun I've had with a pure shooter in a long time. I hated RAGE, fwiw.
I think 3DRealms should make a short animation where Duke Nukem hands his crown and scepter to Sam, then hangs himself in a closet. Then they can finally move on to something new.
