[@DustyEchozy]

I am a huge fan of Serious Sam, but i will say that if there's another thing i hate about Serious Sam 3 alongside nude harpies, reloading weapons, laser & sniper being secret weapons only (for the main campaign) & dark underground puzzles would be the LACK OF AMMO. Like seriously i think having lack of ammo would be the final nail in the coffin for the game considering how difficult some of the later level fights are, Gman did mention that in his video and i do 100% agree with that on him. I hate the lack of ammo this game gives. But aside from what all i mentioned, i would say it's a pretty descent game.

[@ashhabimran239]

@@DustyEchozyAs someone who’s beaten the game on Serious and Mental several times, this is actually not true. It’s all about using the right weapon for the job and I never once had an issue with ammo scarcity. Especially when you have mechanics like the mutilator and melee attack

[@stardust_2339]

I have only 2 problems with this game. Enemies with hit-scan weapons. Considering how many enemies are in the screen at once with a game that does not uses health regen system (which isn't a bad thing :) ), it's not a good decision IMHO. All man, no cover is a good thing as long as you can avoid the projectiles! The other problem are the Kleers, those motherf(word) skeletons. IMO they are too fast, too resistance to damage and too powerful, not to mention when the game throws 500 of them at you. Half of the enemies you kill trough the game are Kleers. I really like the first two SS games but SS3 is my least favorite. One dimension level design, annoying enemies, why do I have to reload my weapon in a Serious Sam game? Maybe the problem is with me, but I struggled to finish the game on Normal difficulty, and it nearly made me to never play it again. F(word)ing Kleers. Hate them with a passion.

If you could sprint and never reload, that may break the game and make it too easy, git gud I hope you're not still a crybaby after all these years.

Ariandrioff you are preaching. This game is such a betrayal to the series that it comes second on behind ultima. I can't believe Croteam even consider doing this. I didn't love them for making parodies on modern shooters. I loved them from actually being original in being different.

[@kingsleycy3450]

I like this game way more than it deserves. Uneven level design, too many heat scanned enemies, not enough ammo. The gameplay is solid enough that when it gets going, it is really fun. The problem is it doesn't get there often enough.

[@Banzay27]

This game is not for everyone, if that ever needs saying. Point to make being that nostalgia is not required to enjoy it. I never played the old Serious Sams; the closest to it I've played was Painkiller, years and years back. Last year, I played Serious Sam 3 and I rather enjoyed it. I'm not even that much of an old school gamer! Due to a gamer of an older brother who bought his first PC at 16, myself being 7 years of age at the time, I was introduced to gaming very early on. Star Control was the first PC game I ever laid eyes on and I've since experienced many, many games, including quite possibly most of the more famous classics such as Doom & Quake, Fallout, Heroes of Might & Magic and many others as popular or less so -- apart from Star Control itself, of course. Having said that, I've played through all three Modern Warfare campaigns and I enjoyed them, significantly. So much so, I was compelled to make a little video out of the second game, for my own reminiscing if nothing else. I've played and enjoyed many other games with a more _modern_ feel. I am equally not that particular about one genre or another, even if I do have my preferences. I like my games much as I like my music. If it's good, I may like it, regardless of genre (with exceptions, of course). Having said *all of that*... I re-iterate my opinion: nostalgia is not required to have fun in Serious Sam 3. I will voice some criticism, however... firstly, you might want prefer to take this game in bursts. I played through it as I usually do: playing daily until I reached _The End._ I tend to do this especially with FPS games, as they, in turn, tend to be relatively short. Yet, this game is not that short, even though it's gameplay is very much constant: kill everything! And survive. To live another day and kill everything elsewhere. Playing it nonstop, day after day... well, as enjoyable as it was, it got repetitive. There is the obvious solution: playing it... somewhat casual-like. Or not, if you never tire of it. I didn't take a break because I prefer to power through games, as the next one is always close in line. I think some of the levels were indeed poorly designed, though I liked the egyptian theme overall. And I found those alien monkeys you first encounter in the dark underground tunnels and catacombs to be a little... off from the Serious Sam template, as I understood it. They slowed down gameplay. But, there was some fun in it, particularly since it was exactly a change of pace from the usual horde rampaging. There's only one thing in the game that I thoroughly dislike: the skeletal demons. I absolutely abhorred that foe. The pouncing, the frigging double ball and chains... irritating as all Hell. That they're one of the most common foes made it a frustrating aspect of the game, for me. TL;DR: new players can enjoy SS3; fuck skeletal demon goats.

If you're trying to run the game at really high settings and are getting nasty frame rate issues, make sure super sampling is turned completely off. It's not a necessary feature, but the developers included it for people with really high end systems who would want to try running the game at the highest possible settings. Also, You can always disable ambient occlusion, or turn it down at least. AO doesn't make a HUGE difference, and it can be costly on older systems. Also, great review.

[@JAGUARCD32X]

I played this a few months back and didn't know what to expect as I had never played a Serious Sam game. I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed it and the amount of enemies you fight is insane. You will think you have cleared a stage out and run forward and then the next 1000 enemies run at you and you spend the next 15 minutes running backwards shooting. It's not a master class in gaming but it's a fun old school throwback The graphics look a lot nicer maxed out, this isn't maxed out here

[@TheSpawnBox]

I think this is the best video TB has created in a long time. Informative, Direct and Correct! It seems like it should be common sense for a game like this to be on the PC. Lets hope that something does happen.

gotta tell ya totalbiscuit that you are the reason i play most of the games i play i like your voice over and listen to it sometimes as i play

[@DaRedWunsGoFasta]

@LionelRaw The game TB mentioned is Arma: Armed Assault. It comes fairly close to depicting what modern armed combat actually is like. You apparently have something like 10km worth of draw distance, and shotguns act like real shotguns, not Quake shotguns. Or, if you've got a bit of a masochist streak, there's always Red Orchestra, set in World War II: Get shot by near-invisible enemy with a bullet drop, projectile-based, non-hitscan weapon; die.

[@MadTranceSG]

TheOnlyDreadfather I like the smoke too! I feel it adds a bit of realism to the atmosphere and also adds a nice dynamic to the difficulty, thus making it a bit more challenging.

[@Vladimir007smart]

Croatian develpoers made the game it's an awesome old school shooter! :D

[@Typanoid]

@DuraheLL Old school shooters generally require more thinking than most people think - you've got encounters where you have to retreat to cover and then think about how to approach the issue (which targets to eliminate first? What cover can I use effectively? Where should I move to?), because if you just bust in guns blazing left right and center without forethought, you're gonna get wasted (or at least suffer an unacceptable amount of damage that won't regenerate by itself).

[@w4vezf9a]

And TB, the Desert Eagle isn't supposed to have huge recoil when using smaller ammunition. Sniping those enemies is EASY with desert eagle, so you should consider that. Melee is really well as long as you can't get hit while you're executing it and when you're fighting 1 enemy or having more come at you 1 by 1. Really useful against Kleers.

[@horiahunter]

"this is why kid blood is awsome and i think hippie blood is cool too" wow how fun it sounds out of context

[@TheRealNici]

@BeardedKirklander It is a well-known fact. With Vsync, the program waits until the next verical blank on the screen to flip the buffers, resulting in keyboard or mouse inputs being buffered during the wait and thus delaying them. It's also why performance is usually worse with vsync on. And yes, the whole point of vsync is to eliminate visual tearing. But it comes at a cost, that's why it's not enabled by default.

[@Infernatrix]

The .357 DE will take 9 rounds with a tenth in the chamber. The problem is that the Desert Eagle has bad problems with jams and .357 and .44 Mag exacerbate the issue since the gas pressures of those cartridges are so lower then .50AE so you get a lot off Failure to Feed or Failure to Eject.

[@Typanoid]

@wooterz I think he was saying that Doom has no "see-through" map, as in a transparent map that allows you to shoot stuff while viewing the map (like Duke3d has). Doom has a map all right as you said, but you can't see what's coming at you while looking at it (which I actually kinda like - makes it scarier). But I figure we're just splitting hairs - I know what TB meant in the video and I understood his point. Maps are very oldschool indeed (even if Wolfenstein 3-D had none).

[@Nachtrae]

Man, I remember playing SS FE and SE with my brother. Even in splitscreen a few times (though soon learned that one mouse on a computer doesn't make a fair coop). Well, we figured the lan out eventually and fought one another. And I turned the game into a stealth game. I picked a kleer and stood into the shadows. Scared the crap out of my brother, who later began blasting every single shadow with rockets, just in case. Good times, good times.

[@563756297]

What you said about modern shooters and not having secrets was spot on. I miss the old Duke Nukem and Doom mass levels of exploring and finding secrets and not getting your hand held through the whole game.

[@dellefranz]

I've played the game, and I couldn't stop thinking that this game cosmeticly IS Righteous Slaughter 7 as seen in GTA V, I mean there's the desert city you are going through, there's the assault rifle with the holographic sight, the bad ass minigun, the huge axe you can chop down enemies with, thousands litres of blood being spread everywhere and the hundreds of enemies covering the screen and instead of xp you have a point system. The major differences is that there's no healthbar, no british dude shouting in your ear, no hippies and no Shitstick 3000... (of course Righteous Slaughter is a parody of COD with the british dude and the regenerating health, but when it comes to gameplay it looks a lot like this game. You wouldn't have to make too many changes to make a Righteous Slaughter mod for Serious Sam 3.) But there is no need to change this game because it is already a awesome game.

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

FPSs in the 90s was all about the shooting, the different weapons and power-ups that all looked and felt different, every one of them adding different strategies to how you approach enemy encounters( since enemies all looked and behaved differently ). Of course you had your general purpose weapons like shotguns and machineguns but for more powerfull enemies you needed something with a bit more kick. 90's shooters was also about the complex yet memmorable level design and character.

[@GoldStandardPunk66]

That comment combined with your thumbnail is just brilliant.

[@TheRealNici]

@BeardedKirklander Hi, I'm not sure which of those games feature it the most. But I've seen some pretty bad effects on Source Engine games, especially "Nuclear Dawn" with Tripple Buffering on. :( With vsync off, the "smoothed out" reactions were gone. After asking on the steam forums, I was told that vsync can cause input lag. It really comes down to the implementation and the style of gameplay whether you notice or not, though.

[@NeoWorm]

[@jamespfp]

23:45 -- Texture quality is precisely as old school as the Serious engine gets. There was a brief and shining period when Sam had more detail than anything Quake (1, 2 or 3). The oddest bird, though, is still Unreal.

[@tk9780]

reminds me of the old Unreal Tournament [which they'd make a remake] & the old quake 3 MP. Another great WTF guide. Have you done WTF is My Partner fore yet?

[@na_zorus]

I don't think the smoke is a real design problem, it's actually part of the gameplay, because your cursor changes color when you point it at an enemy. This feature exists since the first Serious Sam and was never really exploited in termes of a game mechanic, but with this smoke, you need to rely on it if you want to know where are your enemies, which makes this color-changing cursor actually useful and creates an interesting game mechanic in my opinion.

[@Mikachu10]

This game was made for TB. MADE FOR HIM. An FPS throwback with much much too much options? That way he can't complain about the options, and he can use that leftover time to make many different stabs at the modern FPS system. Genius.

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

The only modern FPS that still feels like an old-school shooter because of that reliance on different types of weapons to bring down different enemies is the Halo Franchise, like using a weapon to rapidly bring down an enemies shield ( plasma rifle ) then using something like the shotgun or pistol to kill him. And of course open level design. The only game in the 90s that made puzzles a part of the gameplay was HL previous shooters only had very few of them.

[@Kytseo]

I know that TB doesn't care for achievements, but he's right, the aim down sights is optional. From what I heard, there's apparently an achievement for beating the game in an old school fasion (i.e., no sprint, no aiming down sights, and no manual reload)

[@ROBOCOP603]

You sir, are both epic and freaking hilarious! I myself have played the Serious Sam game series since it first started when I was like 10, and got epic good at it. If you could someday do a review of the new revamped versions of the original two games that would be awesome. [The Serious Sam HD versions, to be exact].

[@KaptainRaptor]

I bet someone's mentioned this already, but, the reason the arena section before the bio-mechanoid was so long was because you missed the Double-Barreled shotgun, heck, in the arena, the sledgehammer was the best choice because Kleers and Gnarrs + sledgehammer = 1 hit kill. Though, you probably don't care about that fact or already knew that, so carry on sir.

[@tyvalentyne]

Great vid. Painkiller, Doom, Quake and Duke Nukem are absolutely timeless. OG Fps= True thinking man's games

[@SendyTheEndless]

To be fair to this game, the levels are usually either linear, or there are signposts or exit signs leading you through the more maze-like parts. And I really like the smoke effect, because it forces you to adopt new tactics. The sewer level is definitely annoying, though, because of those god damn celing insect things which you can barely see.

I agree, TB. We definitely need more games like this. Bloody sick of FPSs that are heavily scripted, linear to the point of discouraging exploration, have regenerating health, and overall give the impression of trying to be hollywood movies rather than trying to be games.

Serious Sam games have taken place in Egypt and around the middle east since the late 90's, before COD and this infatuation with mid-east conflicts. The entirety of the First Encounter took place entirely in Egypt, albeit in an ancient setting.

In ZPs defense, He gives it a recommendation if you actually listen to him. But hes famed for his harshness even on his most favorite titles.

That's... actually correct. the Desert Eagle was intended to be a military weapon, but was rejected to the size of the damn thing (it's like, what, ten pounds empty? TEN FUCKING POUNDS!) and, the .357 Magnum just didn't work, so it was rejected.

@Icansensefalure It would probably consist of Simon and Lewis standing around as cannon fodder, Sips running around TB going "SAY MY NAME COME ON SAY IT!", Jesse failing at staying alive, and TB murderizing everyone in a fit of rage.

Why did you remove the multiplayer video. Was watching it but wanted to skip back to see something over again and got the removed message. Really enjoyed it :/

If the old school shooter is to be resurrected,I believe the devs should make something like serious sam/duke 3D,Quake,etc. and give it a good quality story like Bioshock/Deus Ex/Metro 2033.Also,offer the choice of which health system you want.If you choose health regen,have the player fight more enemies.If you choose healthpacks,do it the old fashioned way.The two weapon limit must go too.Lastly,it needs good marketing.There's a reason CoD sells well.

I got this game a month ago, how I love it. I don't know why people find modern shooters to be anywhere near the word "good" if all you do is hide behind a rock meanwhile the dumbass AI continues to shoot the rock thinking it will ever kill you while you stand there. I rather roll out guns blazing in a shooter than have my gun barrels chill out while my shield goes back up. Let's now mention my FAVORITE part of Serious Sam 3; the action scenes! Why the hell don't modern games have this !?!? I am expecting action, to be shooting, taking cover while shooting, to run while shooting, even take a dump while shooting, did I make myself clear!? That's what action shooters should be all about, shooting. During these action scenes you get tons and tons of enemies shooting you from all sides, a BEAST unleashing music soundtrack that will get your gun freak on and the frequent urge to keep moving to find your next set of supplies ammunition guns and health. Oh did I forgot to mention that unlike modern games you don't get to stick with your favorite carbine m4A1 or sniper rifle? Yeah you heard me right you gotta switch because some monsters are really bullet sponges you gotta get down and dirty with a sledge hammer, some monsters have been placed far you can only shoot with longer ranged weapon rather than shotgun your way through and even some are immune to everything but RPGs so keeping track of what weapon hurts that monster the most is a wise tactical decision, What I do NOT like about Serious Sam was the annoying voice sounds like hes chugging a bottle of water while he talks. The one-liners seem worse than comebacks you get from a 6 year old. Also the multi-player has the same flaw Borderlands 2 has ... there's noone around to play with ! I do however think the maps are decent and the 16 player Co-OP capacity is so great its unheard of. The ability to choose blood to red, green, hippie even kids style is an amazing in-game buff that gives you a nifty little option you wanna play it realistically or go all out fantasy. If singleplayer campaign, 16player Co-OP multiplayer, versus multiplayer wasn't enough value for your money the available mods online allows you to play however you want for the rest of your life, to me thats a pretty damn sweet deal I can piss on ALL modern games for not having so much content for the price you pay. A huge badass boss to fight every level, why the hell not? You think having a man that has more health and absorbs more bullets because he is wealthier and is titled "boss" makes more sense to throw in? No, just no, if I were to find a boss I want to be a badass I want it to show me why its boss and Serious Sam delivers on every level.

So a couple of my friends recently got the Serious Sam Humble Indie Bundle, so I played through the HD versions with them...and it was a nice nostalgic experience...and then we got to the final level of the First Encounter...and how I ever managed to defeat ALL of those Syrian Werebulls...I will never know.

Thanks for this WTF-video, I enjoyed it quite a lot. Very informative, very funny. Although I am currently playing the demo I downloaded from XboxLIVE your video nudged me towards actually buying it. Like yourself I am enjoying this old-schooliness to shooters quite a lot. I am sick and tired of all those pseudo-realistic military shooters a.k.a. Modern Battleduty of Fieldmetal Gloryfare warcall. SS3 looks just like the stuff I am missing recently. Well, apart from Bulletstorm, that is. :)
