It's a cake walk. It's so much easier than the previous games.

Don't get me wrong. I suck at FPSs, and this suits me fine because it's so easy, but I feel like Serious Sam games aren't supposed to be like this. Does it get harder as the game advances? Like, much harder? Like the older games?

First couple of levels are like a generic FPS that they were actually making before SS3. It turns into a proper Serious Sam game later and the last mission is damn hard.

Ok, that's good then. So far, the only difficult part is finding all the secrets.

Try that with NIER Automata for the first time. You're asking for a world of pain. If you simulate a from-scratch playthrough of Dawn of Sorrow you're also in for a shitty time.

You should play it in serious difficulty, also yes it does endeed get way harder as it advances, when you finish the call of duty like part it's like all of the other serious sam games.

Why the fuck do they always have some kind of incredibly annoying hitscan enemy type in the games?

>casualniggers in denial

Yes, I play every game on hardest difficulty and if it's locked, I unlock it before playing (i.e. Dead Space. If it's still not challenging, I install a difficulty mod (for DA:O, for example). Games are about being able to win or lose, what's the point if there's no challenge? Cinematic experience?

>>15899988

It's not even in the middle, there are 3 difficulties above it. They only named it "normal" so that casuals wouldn't get offended. Although I admit I didn't play third one on the Mental difficulty because invisible enemies are too much. You don't even get the real amount of enemies on anything but Serious difficulty.

That's the most reddit thing I've read today, you could get some karma for it.

Clear example of "bullshit logic".

>reduced amount of enemies

Reduced from the harder difficulties. Only demonstrates that… it's not the hardest difficulty.

>implied to be "not serious"

The fuck does this even mean? The "serious" difficulty setting is a naming convention across all Serious Sam games for the penultimate difficulty level. How is this related to "normal" not being "normal"? What are you even saying?

>bullshit logic

Absolutely, and you just demonstrated it further.

>reddit!!!!!

Absolute damage control.

My point was that it's not something to be proud of and boasting around. If I didn't believe you played games on the hardest difficulty, who cares anyway?

It seems as if you're insecure and need to prove yourself. I don't really care how you entertain yourself and you shouldn't think I do.

And Croteam isn't exactly known for casualizing games for broader audiences. Hence the Serious Sam series being the way it is.

Play SS3 to the end and try saying this again

Hell, try playing Road to Gehenna after finishing The Talos Principle and try saying this again

Road to Gehenna was overall so much better than the main game in so many ways. The "hidden" tetris pieces puzzles were really good and challenging, and the story was actually charming and not pretentious.

I did and it changes nothing about what I said, it was a game made for a broader audience during development. Other anons even said so ITT

Serious Sam is like Doom; maps are made with Ultra-Violence/Serious difficulty in mind, and enemies are later removed for the lower difficulties.

Play Serious difficulty to play the game as it was intended. Nightmare/Mental is for people who find even that too easy.
