I'm excited for the games being done quick, and expect, some day, for them to troll us and have an awesome games done slow marathon where its nothing but people who have never played videogames before desperately trying to finish their first one.

Nioh is like someone said, hey, Barudak, we know you weren't a huge fan of the direction souls games went, what if we went in a direction you liked even less? Thats right, gently caress on off

Serious Sam 4 is a game I quit during the first level, and boy this run is not changing my mind

what is the purpose of the Serious Sam series

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.

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

Well that sounds just awful. My condolences to the Serious Sam fans.

e: good Lord this was released in 2020, it does not look it!

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.

Marathon is a game with fantastic level titles and loving labyrinthine levels and I hope the designer of Colony Ship For Sale Cheap never has their toast toasted all the way through.

The layout says this game's from 2007, I'm surprised, it looks like a contemporary of Doom, Quake, Dark Forces etc

Xbox 360 remaster, the original game was a contemporary and the reason to game on macs

Edit: My gamertag was the marathon logo from this game until I got sick of the small icon glitch

He is not underselling that marathon levels are vast and often have multiple route to where you need to go

this is bringing up memories of the one dedicated Mac gamer on staff trying to handsell every customer who came into our Egghead Computers store this series in particular and getting nowhere because they were all just there to buy productivity software and a mouse and like maybe Tomb Raider if they weren't too embarrassed and leave

FF 13 is probably the mainline game I know the least about. Feels like barely anyone ever talks about it.

Its very devisive because while the combat is the best in the series it requires a lot of changing your mindset and actually reading the tutorials which nobody is gonna do and hoooooooboy is the plot and equipment system dogshit
