uhhhh...wat?

>>11820901 (OP)
this game had some crazy atmosphere. wading through roman valleys while that unsettling ambient music plays was cathartic.

>>11820907
it does cartoony so much better than that fucking turd serious sam 2 is. and its got that odd atmosphere of the first two encounter games except with better art design

>>11820901 (OP)
I didn't know that existed and I'm a SS fan. Will have to download it on my wii

It's Second Encounter for Gamekoob

Wait… hold on... what?

The best Serious Sam game... is a console exclusive?

Nah, can’t be. Must’ve read that wrong. Maybe they meant “the best version is on PC but the console one’s decent”—you know, like every other shooter ever.

But no... they meant it. The BEST Serious Sam... of all time... locked away on some dusty Xbox like a forgotten bottle of Mountain Dew Code Red behind the couch?

Amazing. Stunning. Truly the Dune of gaming revelations. Next you’re gonna tell me the definitive way to play DOOM is on the 3DO with that horrifying soundtrack, or that Tetris peaked on the N-Gage.

It's like slowly realizing your favorite pizza place only serves slices at the airport terminal you’ll never visit.

Bravo, universe. You win this round.

Who are you kidding nintentroon, you only pretend to like it cause it's the only game on your dogshit system

Classic. The timeless, brain-melting “AI post” reply. The ultimate non-argument argument. No explanation, no critique — just the digital equivalent of squinting suspiciously at the screen and muttering "computer detected" like a paranoid grandpa afraid of his microwave.

Imagine dropping a whole thoughtful reply — maybe even with soul, personality, some typo seasoning — and some dude slides in with “AI post” like they cracked the Da Vinci code.

No details. No receipts. Just pure, distilled suspicion in two words. Probably typed on a $12 keyboard covered in Dorito dust while nervously side-eyeing ChatGPT like it's hiding under the desk.

Beautiful. Timeless. Of all time, even.

It was also on the PS2

Super Nintendo Switch online!

It's an underrated masterpiece

>>11821702
would you say the underrating is criminal?

>>11821712
Well let's just say that if I caught someone underrating it..

This board has a serious ai problem. It's like a total schizo took over the thread to esoterically shitpost instead of talk about the game. Is it just some mong generating on charger or an actual ai?

>>11821816
Ah, here we go — the modern forum mystery novel.

"Is it a person? Is it an AI? Is it... some guy on a phone charger generating nonsense at 3 AM?" Like the ghost in the machine is sitting there, tapping out posts about Metroid and FFVII in-between bouts of existential dread.

The best part is how every weird post is now blamed on AI. Long post? AI. Short post? AI. Slightly off opinion? AI. Mentions “of all time” for the 400th time? Definitely AI. Never mind that human beings have been derailing threads with esoteric nonsense since 2003 — no, this time it must be the machine uprising.

Soon someone will trip over their own keyboard and the thread will whisper:
"AI detected."
The new digital witch hunt.

It's a guy taking the piss because you keep feeding him, and he thinks it's funny to upset you.

wtf i'm not into watersports

>>11821038
It's not second encounter it's an entirely original game with new enemies and mechanics
>>11821509
Wtf why so hostile? I made this thread because I think it's weird such a good game didn't also come out on PC. This would be a great game for that kex engine guy to try and bring to steam.

PS2 version is a big downgrade tho. And it's 30 fps, ew

Really? I downloaded it because I wanted a FPS with co-op for my PS2.

Nah. Serious sam has its own identity and if you don't like it something is wrong with you for real. Games are pure fun

>>11820920
>Hating Serious Sam 2
What is wrong with you?

I played Serious Sam on GameCube last year and I truly do not understand the hype.
gameplay wise it's just another generic FPS. the wacky presentation has some charm but not enough to make it interesting.

I loved playing through this once, but I cannot fathom returning to it (or trying any other SS game) due solely to the kamikaze yell. It would be one thing if it was just a rare occurrence, but those dudes are in 90% of the game's fights.
>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
You're just going to hear it over and over and over. I can hear it in my head right now, solely from playing this one GCN version of the game a single time. I can't even imagine how tuned out dudes who've played these games for years must get. I don't think turning the sound off or playing the PC releases with the sound file removed would even help; it's like I would subconsciously know the yell was still there, and I'd still be hearing it in my head, and it would almost be more disturbing than just confronting it outright. Sorry, I just don't have it in me.

>>11821921
You should download Darkwatch instead. The Gaycube couldn't literally handle it.

Also another thing that sucks about this Serious Sam game is that coop doesn't save progress unless you use save states, but that's like an odd quirk of 6th gen games.

>>11823682
>Also another thing that sucks about this Serious Sam game is that coop doesn't save progress unless you use save states
That sounds like a "you being a poorfaggot that has to emulate" issue more than an issue with the game my man.

>>11823685
... no? Unless you want to restart from map 1, you have to use save states or beat it all in one go.

>>11823689
No you do not, just like you don't need to use save states to save progress on plenty of other 6th gen co-op games like Halo, Timesplitters, Dark Alliance, Gauntlet Dark Legacy and uhh basically every other game. Some emulators have issues saving multiplayer progress, that is not part of the games on original hardware.

>>11823692
>Some emulators have issues saving multiplayer progress
that isn't true at all

>>11823692
Yeah you don't know that much and I didn't say every single 6th gen game. Wolfenstein's coop campaign on Xbox notoriously doesn't save progress.

Also you seem butthurt, but I'll admit it was a problem that DID go into 7th gen, but the only game I can recall that also didn't save coop progress was COD World at War. (Another WW2 game)

>>11823701
Yes it is, some don't even support save states, like Lodgenet OoT on PJ64.
>>11823703
You said that it's an "odd quirk of 6th gen games" not to save co-op progress, when tons of them do. If a particular game didn't save progress, it was an individual choice likely based on the length of the game, not a widescale problem. Also
>you're le butthurt
I'm correcting you, because what you're saying is a gross mistruth.

>>11823718
I've emulated a lot of PS2 era games coop and a lot of them weird quirks. For example, the Ubisoft Tom Clancy games require you having already played through the campaign, so you either have to enter a cheat code that unlocks all the levels or get a save from Gamefaqs. Some games like Onimusha 4 and Urban Reign lock co-op behind cheat codes and progress. Then, a few others like Serious Sam and Wolfenstein don't save your coop progress at all.

>>11823718
>Yes it is
No it isn't.

>>11823682
Darkwatch fucking sucks you poser. It's like 3 hours long too.
>gaycube
Oh you're one of those autistic console war faggots.

>>11823625
It's for FPS purists. It's an arcadey game with literally zero story with a random guy running around and racking up tons of kills with fun weapons in cool abstract environments while running and dodging projectiles and enemies. It's the antithesis to all the military shooters that ruined the genre at the time. Serious Sam might as well be a shmup but in first person. You might just not like FPS as a genre in its most basic form if you don't like serious sam. If anything medal of honor and call of duty is what's "generic" to me and serious sam is a rarity that we don't get anymore.

>>11824680
>It's for FPS purists
but anon, my favorite FPS games are Doom, Quake, and all modifications/descendents of those engines, and still I found Serious Sam boring.
I agree that MoH and CoD and all that shit are worse, don't get me wrong. I just don't see why I would ever play SS if I'm looking for an old school FPS fix.

>>11820901 (OP)
I recall falling asleep while playing it, but i also remember the final boss looking like it was from Zone of the Enders.

HOLY BOOBA

>>11828237
So this only ever came out on ps2 and cube w no pc port at all? I enjoyed the serious sam on xbox but that’s literally the only one I ever played. Is it worth it to play this version if u enjoyed the Xbox one enough to beat it? Or is it pretty skippable if I can just get my fill replaying the Xbox Sam game?

>>11820901 (OP)
Why must it be "of all time"?

Can't it just be the best of its time? Is that not enough?

>>11836715
this game had some serious (lul) tech. the atlantian levels were genuinely amazing looking. shame they never used the engine to make more stuff.

>>11835202
Actually super impressed the mousehook worked wonderfully throw in some emulation graphical smoothing and it felt like playing a lost PC game... (The vehicles were the only hangup... But it was manageable).... Yup 4chan is right again!

>>11836715
stuff like this is pretty cool but a lot of the game's level design is really boring, even by serious sam standards. Overall TFE/TSE is a more consistently good game

>>11821362
>>11821525

holy redd*t

>>11836715
>>11836723
It reminds me of like 90s Death Metal album covers with all the colorful
green surreal cthulu alien architecture everywhere

>>11836753
I disagree I think the game overall has been more memorable than TFE/TNE because the environments are really cool looking sometimes and the textures and detail are great compared to the original SS. But I dunno its been a couple years since I have played the original games.

>>11820901 (OP)
The Atlantis levels are some of the most visually impressive in the entire series, the combo system is cool, and I like how you actually get more content for getting the gold medals. It's a console exclusive, but I think it had a lot of good ideas that the future games in the series could've incorporated. It's a shame they didn't.
