It's because Nazis are in your sights. If they armed me with a spoon and a box of hairpins I'd be happily trying to scoop Nazi eyeballs out.

Best game ad, ever, easily. Whether or not it makes you buy the game, who cares? The ad rocks!
I would imagine the people who made the ad would care.

I love you, Sam.

Holy cow the screeching in that thread is incredible. Some people keep it civil and make honest and valid suggestions but some must have just come from a health care town hall meeting.

All this game wants is a pile of corpses and another round in the chamber. I'm perfectly happy with that.

Was that big guy at the end the guy from Goonies? If so, sign me up for this.

Such things as outside weather are irrelevant. These are some hardcore gamers whose skin cracks and smokes from exposure to sunlight. The quakecon people normally keep the temperature in the various areas somewhere around sub-arctic anyway.

Now I've read (and written) probably some pretty bad game reviews but that Defcon one is a head scratcher. He complains about the sameness of the map (it's the planet Earth, duh) and he complains how the game gets repetitive. I'm wondering if he even tried multiplayer because I know for certain that multiplayer in Defcon can become a hair pulling stress fest.

Top Gear truly is the best show on TV right now.

Surely changing the level in which you get access to a weapon is a huge no-no from a balance perspective? If I wanted that then I could just type in a cheat code. And 2,000 in-game gold pieces? Since when do FPS games need their own multiplayer currency?
Sadly, publishers don't really care about game balance. They just want people to pre-order their games.
Who cares about balance in single player? Besides which even if they give you the flame thrower there probably won't be enough ammo for it in the first levels.
As for the gold, I'm guessing it's similar to XP points in other multiplayer games to get weapons/skill unlocks.

Forum over reaction is a 24/7 fun fest.

I just can't see this game turning out bad. Looks great in every department.
Oh every gamer here has thought or said this at some point or another and we've all been burned. Hopefully you're right and this is good but trust us old fogies and don't be angsty if it doesn't deliver.

The single player is by Raven, the multiplayer by another group.

Aaaaaanyway...
Multiplayer with Stopwatch mode, yah!

Your PC still runs on coal? I converted mine to whale blubber years ago and have been happy with this decision. The ocean will never run out of whales!

What about SS2 turned people off so much? I played both, they both got extremely boring quick in single player, but were a blast in coop. What about SS2 was so much worse than SS1?
Correct. If someone says they didn't like Serious Sam the first thing you must ask is "Did you play co-op?" If their answer is no then by law you are allowed to 1. Punch them in gut 2. Ignore their opinion.
Serious Sam is the Diablo 2 of FPSes. It's a great LAN party game to play with friends while drinking heavily and eating really unhealthy snacks. Of course most gamers probably do the drinking heavily part without the friends already, but if you've moved out of your mom's basement maybe you too can find some friends.

If you quit Painkiller half way then you missed some crazy level design and enemies. Go try it again.

That's actually not too new. If memory serves they have often outsourced ports of their games to other companies for platforms that they didn't have anyone in-house for at the time.
Already five posts in and no screeching about how ID IS SO IRRELEVANT THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING GOOD SINCE COMMANDER KEEN!!1!!!1!!11!
There we go that's better.

It's included but nothing's been said about it in the press. There were some apparently leaked screenshots a few months ago but they didn't show anything pertinent except that the game looked purddy..

Serious Sam is a rite of passage for any first person shooter fan. Playing till your left fingers cramp from all the back pedaling and side strafing using WASD is a small price to pay for one of the best co-op PC games this decade..
Hopefully a spare server I have at work can run this assuming they make a dedicated server for this game and its on the PC
