It's generally fun to play, it can sometimes be fucking hilarious, and it has very diverse environments with beautiful graphics (even today) and awesome music.

[@GetsugaTensho85]

I fucking love Serious Sam 2

[@dribblesg2]

I LOVE the serious sam series and have played them all many times over. Most of the hate for SS2 is from people who cant get over the childish graphics. Their loss imo. If you look past the graphics and silly characters, the gunplay and environments in Serious Sam 2 are awesome. The level variety, the world specific enemies, plasma gun, grenades (huge pro - grenades are perfect for wave enemy games), vehicles etc all rock. It's got some of the most difficult sections in the series and the bonus levels are just nuts.

[@chloewebb5526]

I feel like it's one of those games that anyone who owned a 360 as a kid remembers very fondly. Serious Sam was a bargain bin game, which I remember plenty of their ilk on PSX as a tween in the 90s. Indie wasn't as possible as it is today due to the need of physical copies, so bargain bin games were important for us poor folk back in the day lol. I didn't play Serious Sam until this year, I was told they were 3D relics doing a bad Doom/Duke impression - which couldn't have been further from the truth lol. The gameplay feels less FPS than any FPS ever made, they're really unique!

"Serious Sam was a gritty area shooter" either we didn't play the same game or have very different definitions of gritty cause I always read serious sam as a cartoony absurdist parody of something like duke nukem

[@dragonhugger16]

I completely agree. If anything, the sequel seemed to take the elements of silliness present in the first game (screaming headless enemies? Scorpions with machine guns for hands?) and expand upon them. I think The Second Encounter is honestly where the series started to develop its personality anyways, so to compare Serious Sam 2 to The First Encounter is analogous to comparing Timesplitters Future Perfect to Timesplitters 1. Impressive for the time maybe, but hardly the defining game in the series.

Kindergarten humor isn't what everyone would enjoy after first one. It's like, you serve people a nice plate, but then give them babyfood next day. I'd like games to have gritty and serious tone, but also have comedic reliefs here and there, tossing whole "serious, not serious" theme around in balanced way. And comedy should have more thoughts put into it, not bunch of first grade poop jokes. I think SS3 did a good job on this. Humor was good, and it wasn't taking itself too seriously like some say, because one liners and cutscenes would always break that to remind you that you're playing Serious Sam, not COD.

[@todesziege]

@@DaxMarko Oh I definitely think SS2 went overboard with the sillyness, don't get me wrong. I would argue though that SS3 *did* take itself too seriously at times.

[@DaxMarko]

First encounter appeared quite serious though if you read through netrissa's messages, while Second encounter was lot more silly, but still on enjoyable levels. SS3, took place on "modern day" Earth, which involved some realism and thus needed to be serious. Although that kind setting, Sam was still Sam. I would love if they made SS2 remake to be an actual sequel to Second encounter and not entirely own thing. Or just call it SS2: The Final encounter.

I'm not saying you should put up with online abuse from assholes who can't understand criticism, but turning your comments section into an echo chamber by trying to preemptively shut down differing opinions just doesn't seem healthy, and it certainly doesn't benefit the people who are genuinely trying to find out whether or not they should play a game.

GGGman is an easily wounded high strung head in the clouds clown. He thinks anyone opposing any of his views or opinions is abuse. I mean fucking look at him, he hearts comments that blindly agree and praise him. That's the mark of a content creator with their head stuck squarely up their own arse. He's insecure and needs to constantly remind himself that people agree with him, and that insecurity makes his videos worse and worse because in reality, even he isn't sure what he actually thinks about these games. His popularity made him a figurehead and he's burning down with it. I quit watching his videos in late 2015, but unless he's actually gotten better since, his reviews aren't even that great. He has a very static perspective, considers his opinion to be word of law, and when he has nothing else to say, he says the AI is bad.

[@Morningstar91939]

I’m pretty sure by the title that’s a prequel.

that medal of honor car chase pissed me off!! and would you believe there's a trophy/achievement for that game to beat the game on hardest difficulty with permadeath.

[@MontieMongoose]

I would say that Sierra was built on King's Quest and Space Quest, not Leisure Suit Larry, but ok.

[@todesziege]

Yeah, Larry didn't come out until the late 80's.

[@kummakummakummakummakummac8606]

Are the Leisure Suit Larry games good?

[@melaniel.4269]

No. For a variety of reasons, that's not the case. Sierra wasn't that well know until Larry became (in)famous. King's Quest 1 and 2 were actually extremely bad selling games, because they were originally only released for the IBM PC Jr. which was a monumental failure. And Computer games at that time simply weren't big sellers because the market was very small. It wasn't until 1987 when those 2 games were released for IBM PC & Compatibles (DOS) that they started to sell and made the franchise a success. The best selling game in the 80's in the series was KQ4 released in 1988 selling a total of about 300.000 copies. King's Quest only really exploded with the following games, that sold a lot (King's Quest's total sales until march 1996 were about 3.8 million with 7 games) Space Quest actually never was that big of a seller. Until march 1996 the entire series (6 games) only sold about 1.2 million units. Which is the same number Police Quest achieved until 1996 but with just 5 games (the first Swat is included and that was still a relatively new game at that time) Leisure Suit Larry sold 250.000 within just the first 6 months on the market, even though inital sales were low since most shops in the US simply refused to carry such a "obscene" game but word of mouth and massive piracy (As Ken Williams later stated, Sierra actually sold more Hint Books for the game, than the game itself) made the game extremely well known and helped putting Sierra on the front of Adventure games. Total sales of the first 5 (as famously the 4th game was never made) in march 1996 surpassed 3 million units.

I remember loving Medal of Honor: Warfighter when it came out. Albeit, I was 11 when it came out and I was in my emo phase and took everything *super* seriously. I loved the multiplayer a ton, but I remember jack shit about the campaign.

[@beautifulmeeses]

@Charlie Vetsworth that's a little odd to say, every persons body and mind develops differently.

I didn't find the game to be that bad. It was pretty average, but thought it was cool to play as a DEVGRU guy in the campaign

I thought Unreal II was decent, and I appreciated the cinematics. But it was different enough from the first game I could see how it could be disappointing.

[@EduFirenze]

I begged for my parents to upgrade my computer so I could play unreal 2 at launch. I had a magazine with a preview of it and they were saying things like "each blade of grass will be influenced by the wind" couldn't be more disappointed when I finally bought it.

[@HunterJs2]

I gotta be honest the car chases in Warfighter were amazing in my opinion. There were multiple times where I took what I thought was a wrong turn but corrected myself in a very cool and believable way. Plus, the destruction was great. Other than that I could’ve been sleeping and I would’ve been just as engaged.

[@gameragodzilla]

I actually really like Duke Nukem Forever. The modernizations weren’t annoying and the immature, irreverent humor was a breath of fresh air in the same year that Battlefield and Call of Duty really started their rivalry to see who can be the worst military shooter franchise.

[@todesziege]

The regenerating health and weapon limitations were slapped on real late in development, and it's a shame because it doesn't fit the tone and neither was the game designed with them in mind.

[@gameragodzilla]

todesziege Probably, but their implementation is better than most. The regenerating health takes a lot of hits, so running and gunning is still viable. And the weapons all have full or near full reloads on single pickups, not to mention infinite ammo boxes fairly regularly, which means while I cannot carry every gun, the 4 guns I do carry end up getting a lot of use due to me worrying less about ammo. Spamming the Shrink Ray when I was near infinite ammo boxes was fun as hell.

[@jordanwright2313]

My only problem was the 2 weapon limit, I heard on p.c they made it to where you could carry 4, but i only have it for ps3, but I still enjoyed it alot when it came out. Tried playing it again a month ago and was like damn this isnt as good as I remembered Haha.

[@todesziege]

@@jordanwright2313 If you like the game then the PC version is highly recommended. Better controls, better performance, better visuals, easier to find multiplayer games and then there's the 4 weapon limit which makes the combat much more fun. It's super cheap on sale, too.

[@gameragodzilla]

@@todesziege Yeah the 4 weapon limit struck a nice balance for me. Ammo is much easier to acquire in DNF due to each individual pickup giving near full ammo and infinite ammo boxes appearing regularly, so the weapons you did carry could be used more, and switching between common weapons like the shotgun, Ripper cannon etc. was also easy due to only needing a single pickup to get full ammo. However, the 2 weapon limit was still too limiting as I could only dedicate one slot to regular weapons and one slot to a rarer weapon, like the Shrinker. With the 4 weapon limit, I could still dedicate one slot for regular weapons that I can just swap by picking up a different gun when needed, and then dedicate three slots for rarer guns, which meant I got to use those guns more than I even did in Duke3D, where the use of individual ammo pickups meant I was far more conservative with the more powerful weapons.

[@SqueebPlays]

a big problem that I have with The New Colossus' "difficulty" complaint, is seeing it coupled with footage of people just running all over the place. there's a lean and cover system for a reason. No, not the focus but you're supposed to be weaving between cover when you can and use the lean. It helps.

The gameplay is mostly good, but the cutscenes are horrible.

[@XenoSpyro]

Serious Sam 2 actually plays out exactly like First and Second Encounter, just with the difference being art style, cutscenes, and some vehicle use. I had doubts too, but surprisingly not a bad experience at all. I actually welcome the absurdity.
