What do you like about the Serious Sam games? What don't you like? I hated the one game I played, but I may try TSE.

What was the game you hated?
The best one in the series is actually TSE. Basically TFE but with more varied environments and a few more weps and enemies.
BFE takes to much time to really reveal its flavor, you must do 5-6 chapters before getting actual armies against you. But it was enjoyable.

Sam is mostly about "you against an army". You're alone (or with friends) against a massive and completely stupid army of varied monsters that you mow down with miniguns, rocket launchers and pirate cannons. That's what makes the games spicy.

I like shooting hordes of enemies while dodging hordes of attacks. I don't like the first third of levels and maybe a quarter of the enemies in BFE.

If there's something to be added, it's that the best way to play it is in higher difficulties. At least on hard or serious (Normal if it's your very first SS)

I just bought the HD pack
Is it better / worse compared to the original?

I've only ever played SS3 and my biggest complaint is the beginning levels are lame, especially that damn museum

Like: all the games are straightforward and don't waste your time. whenever you aren't shooting something you are just moving to the next place to shoot something instead of solving some asinine puzzle or doing a walkietalkie segment. they also run really well and work great for co-op.

dislike: sections of each game go on way too long especially in 2 and TSE. the Babylon levels in particular drag on but that's mostly because they are sandwhiched between a segment that looks a lot like it and one that's way different looking and more fun.

If you already had the classics, it was useless to buy, since it is just the HD version of the classic games, with nothing else whatsoever.

But if you never touched a SS before? Great decision, have fun getting serious.
And remember: at least on hard difficulty (or normal if you're not feeling it).

SS4 when

never EVER
