I'm a little confused, the commentator mentioned someone in chat saying world record is 47 minutes or so but apparently 53 is? If it was a different category I would've expected the commentator to say that as opposed to just going "nah"

Ingame time vs. RTA timing. The timer on GDQ is real time, but the WR timing uses the ingame timer which probably removes loads or something.

In game time versus real time. Games that track time minus loads and cutscenes and whatnot have tracking of those things to keep it all fair across all platforms and consoles

They track by IGT using the in-game timer. The timer also ignores loads.

Judging from the comments Jaxler's Pumpkin jack run was as good as I hoped. Gotta watch later.

When Serious Sam First and Second Encounter came out, it was "look our game engine can put absolute truckloads of enemies on screen, so many that much of the gameplay is run backwards shooting". Then they made Serious Sam 2 which was an absolutely wild and overstuffed with content and art game trying to mold Serious Sam into a slightly more go forward shooter. This failed horribly, so they vowed not to do that again and now serious sam games are either spinoffs made by 5 ukranians in a bunker living entirely on vodka and ps1 demodiscs or mainline games built on the bones of a failed modern day middle east call of duty shooter knock off that sucks.

I was given to understand that Serious Sam was a fast-paced arena shooter, at least back in the day, but this one appears to be, like...worse Titanfall?

No offense to the runner, he's doing a great job, but the game isn't really backing him up here.

e: okay this is unfair to the runner but I'm kinda just wishing this were a Titanfall 2 run now, that's a great run.

Serious Sam 3 is one of the absolute brownest shooters ever made, it is king brown, and was made when their middle east shooter game got canceled. Suddenly a game about hoards of wacky enemies got shoved into a realistic art style, boring modern weapons, and slower and clunkier movement. Serious Sam 4 looked at 3 and went, yes, more of that please and feels like its a very expensive shooter made in poser

Serious Sam 4 is on gamepass if you want to try it, and it is awful

I told you, this game is outrageously ugly.

Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass (real original title), was promoted as having the capbility to have 1,000,000 enemies in a battle at once. Its still in the game, but you may have noticed you'ce already forgotten where in this game it was used.

Also, to really capture how much Serious Sam 2's failure broke Croteams minds, serious sam 3 takes place before Serious Sam 2 and Serious Sam 4 takes place before Serious Sam 3. Serious Sam 2, not second encounter, Serious Sam 2, was also not included in the complete collection of Serious Sam for so long (like a decade+) that most people don't realize Second Encounter isn't the actual Serious Sam 2.
