When /v/ complains about COD they don't want to play different, better FPS games they only want to play the game(s) they are complaining about but with better features or similar to the older "golden days" games in the franchise
>>324125282
first encounter is great, second is kinda meh, third one is alright
>>324125205
Because Serious Sam is bad.
>>324125205
Agreed.
I'm fucking calling it, Rainbow Six Siege is the most fun I've had in a FPS since F.E.A.R
The community isn't toxic, the game is fun, the guns balanced, lots of people are on the mic and are generally helpful. First year has free DLC (maps and operators) for everyone.
Haven't even seen anyone talk about it. But I will hype it up in as many threads as I can.
>>324125402
Of course it isn't toxic, they're not poison.
>>324125402
Because talking shit about a game.genre objectively nets you more e-peen than discussing games you enjoy.
>>324125205
How new are you? We have serious sam threads every so often here. We don't have them all the time because they're fun but there really isn't too much to discuss.
>>324125402
first year free maps, then 60$ season pass?
no thanks, its not worth the money they're asking
>>324125402
None of that matters. Ubisoft.

FPS games have never been good. Doom, Quake, it's all boring and uninspired.
People who played Unreal were adolescent fucks, and people who play Call of Duty are adolescent fucks. Nothing has changed, you're not cool because you played Deus Ex when you were ten.
Shit games are shit, and you are a purveyor of shit.
>hurr 343 killed Halo remember when Halo was good?
Kill yourself.
>>324127731
The game WAS a military shooter which they couldn't find a publisher for before it got turned into SS3.
And the enemies that look and act like some from Doom?
They do so because they were from a concept that Croteam sent to id Software when they were hiring people for a new Doom game.
The 3D render model of the Khnum was even called Baron of Hell.
>>324127731

>>324127864
modded BFE
Giant Junkyard
Time Strike
>>324128075
Not only the slow start but also the texture quality.
The ones in the urban regions are of much lower quality due to their age while the ones in the ruins are sharp and covered in stuff like parallax mapping.
>>324128043
Oh my God it's so weird to see my language again.
Here you go
War theme - After a somewhat "relaxed" and weird/quirky content in their new project Croteam decided for a very realistic approach in modern warfare.
Visual authenticity - To testify that it's about a truly next gen FPS we're presented with these incredibly detailed and realistic models of soldiers featured in the game.
Urban warfare - Judging by the first screenshots it's inevitable that the game will combine fighting in open areas such as streets and markets with entries in different buildings and facilities.
On Croatian technology - Template for this hyper realistic graphic scene is in the fact the amazingly advanced Serious Engine 3.
Weaponry - Drastic departure of Croteam's previous work on Serious Sam, weapons in their new title are based and constructed to be as realistic as possible as the current/existing weapons.
So glad that they decided to recycle and make Serious Sam instead.
>>324125356
>second is meh
Serious sam the second encounter or 2?
>>324129583
i think 2 because second encounter is just 1 with better maps and more weapons
>>324127864
TSE
Secret Garden
Rawket Launchair
Because it was a mediocre game.
>>324128712
That's pretty neat, thanks for the translation. It also gives insight into why BFE felt so different to me, nevermind the obvious like weapon reloading and sprinting. The layout of those early missions felt foreign to me.
>>324131229
And "let's strip of your weapons at the end of the level"
I don't get why people bash on Serious Sam 3 for not being oldschool enough, but praise Wolfenstein The New Order despite it being almost identical to most modern military shooters.
>>324135936
Because /v/ is more than one person
Personally I find both of them to be bad

>>324128360
Shit, man. Bethesda should have hire Croteam to make Doom 4.

Yeah this. SS levels feel like they were designed to look good first and play good second. DOOM is much better. I didnt play the recent Sam though.

>>324125205
BFE was made from the remains of a failed game
Its first levels are pretty bad and would put most people off, past 4 or 5 the game becomes serious though.
Serious Sam 3 was great, but the tactical shooter pitfalls it fell in to were not satirical.

>>324139305
Boom. There ya go. One of the best FPS games to come out in a decade or so.
>>324127484

This is too serious.
>>324139754
> play it
> it's a fucking generic peekaboo shooter with slowmo and levels so linear they make CoD look like an open world game
>>324139754
The shooting mechanics in this game are fucking fantastic. Only issues it really has is a lack of diversity and a lack of balance. Revolvers are god like and the rifles are pretty much just below them, with the shotguns being pretty much useless for some goddamn reason.
Either way, some of the most fun I've had in a modern shooter. Makes the new Wolfenstien seem boring.
>>324139982
It's more of an arcade shooter.
I actually want to start playing these, I think I got halfway through the first one
Feeling a lot less motivated now that the sale is over though
>>324140045
Arcade Shooter =/= Cod4's arcade mode
No no no OP, you don't understand. We want a first person shooter that isn't a rehash, doesn't try to push realism, and is a GOOD video game. Serious Sam 3 is 2/3 of those, it missed the memo that it was supposed to be fun, and not a boring slog unlike the first two games.
One of the most important things you need to learn in today's internet world is to recognize vocal minorities.
Consider your revelation as the first lesson, OP.
>>324125205
>Nobody plays or remembers it
nigger, there are regular threads about it and there's SSSat.

I think BFE is the best Serious Sam once you get over the slow start.

I thought it's dead
>>324136446
how to spot people who played the game on easy and then complained it was a boring breeze.
>>324139386
It doesn't get daily threads on /v/, therefore it's not very popular.
Serious Sam games are kinda shitty.
I mean it. No offense to who likes them, but it's bland overall. Lacks something to make it truly memorable. Or fun.
>>324140632
BFE on serious is honestly the best blend of modern and classic shooter action no matter how hard the cry babys try to complain
>>324140908
Yeah, I agree, my fun was only pretend.
>>324125402
its ubisoft senpai.
>>324137460
that was a fun level
>>324125205
Because the game was fairly average
>>324140957
It's ok anon. If you liked it go for it. I'm not saying there's nothing about it.
>>324140908
Weapons dont feel punchy, that's my only complaint
i want a first person shooter that has
-projectile avoidance
-infighting
serious sam has neither. it's "Press and Hold S while Mashing M1: The Game"
theres no grace, no strategy. play Deus Vult 2 on UV, then get back to me.
>people shitting on serious sam
are you fucking serious, in what year do I live in? don't tell me people are going to shit on deus ex or unreal tournament next, fucking christ you newbabs
>>324140632
>>324140909
I'm playing it for the first time and it has been kinda dull, although the ship boss fight was GOAT.
>>324140632
the start is the worst part. I still like TFE and TSE more though.
>>324140908
it's all about the gameplay, baby.
>>324141291
Yeah this. It's Backpedalling +MB1 all the time. Some enemy weapons have hitscans IIRC and almost unavoidable damage, which it could be the only thing you could get out of a formula like this, getting dodges and non stop action with cool moves and shit.
Serious Sam has nothing of that actually. Finisher moves and that's it.
>>324141291
It's nostalgia all day long dude.
The great old school shooter days were singleplayer campaigns about backpeddling and multiplayer that was just about fighting for the one good weapon that spawns and staying on top by monopolizing it.
I'd say it gets better the further you get. Space monkeys are annoying as shit but C4 helps.
>>324141291
>>324141529
>serious sam doesn't have projectile avoidance
will you faggots stop posting about a game you clearly have never played?
Actually everytime someone mentions something like this I remember Bulletstorm and how people dismissed it right off the bat. When I played it I enjoyed it and actually finished it. It was fucking fun, with the ONLY fault of not having a jump button to manually vault and do crazy shit.
Nobody remembers Bulletstorm, but it was good.
>>324141375
It only gets better from there.
As soon as you get out of the pyramid the game will feel different. It's hard to explain.
SS3:BFE = the true Doom 4
SS4 = ???
>>324141663
There are hitscan enemies in BFE and they're annoying on serious.
>>324141728
That and the fact that it was short as fuck. And used GFWL by default. And sequel never ever.
>>324141901
>SS4 = ???
the true SS3
>>324141910
Fortunately they die in 2 hits from the AR.
Speaking of which, I'm glad SS doesn't make enemies bullet sponges when you increase the difficulty, you'll just get more enemies that do more damage.
>>324141728
I remember when they made duty calls and how it made fun of stuff Call of Duty does
and how nearly every single thing they made fun of ended up being in Bulletstorm
>>324141910
there are four hitscan enemies in the game and none of them is a threat if you have armor and half a brain
clones die in 3 assault rifle / pistol bullets and 2 minigun bullets
baby arachnoids die with a necksnap or 1 rocket
adult arachnoids die with like 4 rockets but they almost always spawn in places you can take cover so that's a non-issue
technopolyps are annoying yeah only spawn like 7 times in the entire game and they're all at key points where you either have cover or a health / armor buff
these guys exist for the sole purpose of unavoidable damage against uncoordinated players
l i t e r a l l y git gud
>>324141910
there are what? two hitscan enemies in BFE? but yes they're a bad design choice, especially for a game that is pretty much purely for the gameplay.
but there are also enemies that shoot projectiles that can be avoided, which was the whole thing that started this.
>i want a first person shooter that has
>-projectile avoidance
>-infighting
>serious sam has neither.
and the reason there is no infighting is because there are only two "factions" all the enemies are united against you.
>>324125402
It looks really good and it actually tries to differentiate itself from the run of the mill shooters that are stagnating the market.
But I think it has shitty microtransactions/exp boosters and shit, correct?
>>324140764
No, Captain decided to sperg out and close the group. He even kicked out the guy who hosted the dedicated server.
There's a new group (and we're playing TSE today):

I wish SAM wasn't a thing.
>>324142798
Nah. The only thing you can pay for is cosmetics and renown boosters. You don't need either of those, I mean you can get most weapon skins using km game currency.
>>324143653
The last group leader was an insufferable retard, so the core player made a new group, along with the server host.
>>324143653
TL;DR: The old admin had a power trip and got pissed off that people still played when he lost interest. He also didn't like the fact that the players who still played regularly didn't suck him off on a daily basis.
I don't really want to make assumptions about his motives, but he refuses to talk to anyone. Trust me, I've tried.
>>324143629
TSE is to Doom 2 what TFE is to Doom 1: More content, more enemies, worse levels. 1/3 of TSE is complete trash (Persia). TFE really only had Luxor as a shitty level.
too bad serious sam 3 was boring and shitty
how's the SS3 DLC?
>>324125205
The only good FPS' this decade are Serious Sam 3 and Insurgency.
>>324144218
First level sucks, second level is amazing, third level is alright with a shitty final boss.
It's a 7/10 at best. I'd pick it up when it's 90% off, and that's only because BFE Enhanced (and most other mods) requires it.
>>324144332
>The only good FPS' this decade are Serious Sam 3 and Insurgency.
How can I be this pretentious
>>324143629
I think he meant SS2, since he mentions "the third".
TFE had better level design, TSE more content. It's the same thing as Doom vs Doom 2. TSE was "more of everything" - weapons, areas and things to kill.
>>324144349
>First level sucks
Really?
I thought it was the closest to a classic FPS level we've gotten in recent years, with it being open, somewhat non-linear, filled with secrets and relying on "keycard" hunting.
>>324144332
holy shit you've got bad taste
>>324125205
>hit scan enemies
>assault rifle must be reloaded

>>324144332
there's more than 2, like Shadow Warrior, Metro 2033 and Hard Reset.
Personally I also liked Necrovision. Objectively game is awful, but for some reason I ended up returning to it untill I completed it twice, and did all challenges.
>>324145143

>>324127573
>mfw Croteam made Talos Principle as well
I realize they hired an external writer for it, but at least they're not a one-trick pony.
>>324145413
Well, they did soccer and strategy games before but they were less than stellar.
>>324138513
I don't remember the original game doing that. Just what the hell is going on there?
>>324146046
Parse Error mod
Having 15000+ enemies per level is pretty normal in it.
>>324145413
We never really got the full story with their failed military shooter.
Talos Principle was amazing though.
Just because it's a rehash of Doom and Quake instead of Half Life and Halo that doesn't make it any more original.
>>324138513
>>324139186
>start serious sam 3

>>324146356
>We never really got the full story with their failed military shooter.
Yeah, an actual "making of" of SS3 (or hell, SS in general) would be pretty neat.
Once it was a military shooter, then it was partly a Doom concept and another time it was a gritty realistic setting with SS2 assets.
>>324146410
I've only played the first Serious Sam, so I can't comment on the other ones, but that one wasn't a rehash of Doom. Serious Sam's "walk into arena -> arena gets closed off -> enemies spawn and keep on spawning until a set number of them have been killed -> arena opens again" type of design wasn't part of Doom or Doom-like games at all.
>>324138014
I don't think you know what that means.
>>324146410
Something tells me you never played DOOM, Quake or Sam

Why do you have a stick up your ass anon? They're both good games.Unless you're talking about Doom 4. That game is literally Halo: Demons Edition, you shill.
>>324148920
To be honest Serious Sam reminds me more of Douk than Doom.
>>324148920
Who really thinks it's like Doom, though? The only significant Doom-esque elements are the emphasis on strafing and the fact that you can dodge enemy projectiles. The games are fairly different in most other regards.

>>324149715

I've spent over 45 minutes in the streets after the harpies are introduce and the enemies never fucking stop.
They are definitely respawning
>>324125205
>Why is this allowed?
Because we don't live in some weird-ass alternate universe where you get to decide what a rehash is and isn't, where you get to decide how I spend my money and time, or what my opinions are, and that there's nothing really anyone can do to stop it that isn't illegal, immoral, or wrong. What are you going to do to stop me? Fuck SS and fuck you.
>>324149490
AFAIK only infinte spawns are in final bossfight of TSE
>>324149719

>>324149835

i see the slav internet defence force is out in spades today
SS3:BFE was my 2011's GOTY.
It's a shame that it was completely overshadowed by the year's other, numerous AAA releases (Skyrim, BF3, the year's CoD...)
it's also damn amazing game for having a mere 0.5M $ budget.
I'm about to play The First Encounter for the first time. Which difficulty suits me best if I played stuff like Doom (and The Plutonia Experiment) on Ultra-Violence and Duke3D on Come Get Some to completion?
>>324146315
nice. SS3 starts choking at about x10 multiplier (2000-5000 enemies per level), and perfomance often dropped well bellow 30fps, when I was testing GTX550ti.
>>324149835
Where, Metropolis?
Pic related is the count of every enemy type in that level, the list goes on a bit though.
Assuming you played on normal you should only get 70 or so harpies.
http://serioussam.wikia.com/wiki/Metropolis
How long until the next real SS game? SS3 was so unsatisfying with its recycled materials that didn't the game play.
>>324150635
>not playing Serious difficulty right off the bat
>>324150751
I think he was talking about BFE, and if so, I'm sure he means fight with kleers and small scorpions, and I can understand confusion, as Kleers keep spawning and getting lost in level, while scorpions walk around blending with background.
>>324125205
I certainly play it
Don't wanna brag like an autist, but am I the only one that never had problems with Serious Sam's difficulty? I played every game on serious and I still didn't have any problems, it was pretty easy.
Should I buy the early access one?
The fact that it's early access puts me off.
>>324150635
Serious. Be sure to look for secrets and keep in mind that pretty much everything is a trap

What are you talking about? The mod just adds enemies, it doesn't fuck with health.
>>324151174
There's an early access SS?
>>324152076
Sorry, mixed it up with SS:Revolution.
The last difficulty there increases mob health, fucking up everything.

Fuck, now I remember when I used to fuck around with flying in some levels.
There were so many of them their bolo's blocked out the sky.
I like fps but serious sam just feels boring to me. None of the guns or enemies feel satisfying to hit.

SS3 starts out like a generic 1st person shooter for a good few levels before it starts to get good.
People who like SS3 quit because it takes too long to get good and codfags quit when the game gets good

TSE was headless kamikaze The Game. You tell me which is worse.
When I played SS3 and I found the first levels to be boring as fuck. I dropped it, it simply wasn't clicking.
Shadow Warrior 2013 and Wolfenstein TNO were better recently made FPS.

Don't get Revolutions. The development team is made up entirely of furries who fucking disabled voting on multiplayer servers because they kept getting votekicked.besides, SSw/v/ doesn't play the classic games, just the HD versions

Enemy health scaling is a server-side config setting. Of course, you can't change it after a Revolutions server starts because of the aforementioned voting removal.

The game gets significantly better when you get to The Silent Riddler. That was the point where Croteam stopped recycling maps from their failed military shooter.

SW 2013 is a terribly made FPS. It's an alright first-person slasher, though.
>>324153603
Kleers are best enemy in SS, regardless if you're crammed with bunch in tiny room, or there's hundreds coming from horizon

The original's kung fu parody now becomes half-assed racism with Lo Wang being unable to drive properly, Japan and China being one and the same, and a bunch of other lazy azn digs.
The original weapon balance was complete garbage. Quick slice was useless with its huge interrupt and massive cooldown time for little damage. The pistol is overpowered, sluggish, and very necessary until the end. The uzi is a bullet hose that runs out of bullets before it kills anything (even with upgrades). The shotgun is a cotton candy canon on anything other than grunts. Glorious nipponsteel sword is the only weapon that satisfies.
Level design was all over the place and difficulty would whipsaw out of nowhere. A lot of levels had empty slogs and cramped fighting quarters. Explosive fixtures usually were placed in the worst locations for not blowing yourself up. Random ammo pickups threw away any consistency to fights.
Minibosses were more annoying than one with their bullet sponge nature. The ones that can only be hurt from the back just sucked the fun out of everything, especially on max difficulty; no block, no stun, no stamina no nothing, just hope you find something to hide behind when they charge.
The game could have been so good in the right hands.
Serious Sam 2 was a fun game.

The original game was half-assed racism too, dingus.
