Serious Sam 4

I'm a fan of the serious sam series since the first encounter (the original one) and played all and everything of the series. This part doesn't feel like it belongs to all the rest. The maps are huge but poorly made, rendering takes place within what feels like a 5 m radius around the player even with all the settings maxed, the enemies behave in strange ways that might appear like bugs but ain't, optional side quests are not optional at all because they will yield you very necessary stuff most of times. World and map design were way better in the first encounter (not talking about the HD version here), since you had everything rendered and could see for miles, everything sharp and crystal clear. What we got here instead looks like an unpayed trainee took a practical course and the devs simply approved all adn everything w/o even thinking to check anything. Props are just done on the front side; cut scenes are trhe quality of PS2 (also here, rendering is way too slow). If you choose to explore the vastr maps you might find yourself in a part that is not even RGB colored anymore but simply black in black, props are only colored within your 5 m rendering radius. The devs thought that the game would become more challenging by simply speeding up everything enemy-related by 200% while keeping Sam's actions at the same pace as before (i.e. reloading, sprinting), which clearly didn't work out (yes it's definitely more challenging than before but it's also 500% more frustrating and annoying). They could've thought about some better enemy designs but chose the easy and more questionable way out. SS games were always about managing big crowds of enemies by simply moving, choosing the right weapon and carefully place your shots in steps. Most of that went down the drain here since some fights are so terribly impossible to master without using gadgets that you simply want to punch the devs for being so ignorant and stupid. "Look, we give you gadgets and no matter if like them or not, we're gonna force you to use them." For an experienced serious sam player like me, the worst part of this game is the weapon order. SS4 is the first (and hopefully only) part of the series that switches double-barreled with semi-auto shotgun. It feels like a betrayal to the players. I cannot begin to understand what came to the dev's minds that this switch might be a good idea, but that simple switch alone completely ruins the game even without all the other flaws. And just to appear like we're playing something that's really state of the art, we also got a weapon wheel and perks. Nonono, this is not due to the clunky weapon selection mechanics but because this part of the series is very up to date with other games. Also, the perks will grant you the same boni that were part of your normal gameplay in the past SS games and/or are completely useless (riding a werebull? seriously?). The only positive aspects of the game are the humor that you're used to from the other parts and the fact that some of the secrets are very well hidden compared to former serious sam games. I'll try to force myself through a single playthrough and then gonna trash this pile of unfinished business. Serious sam didn't die in this game, but it killed the series for sure.

genuinely one of the most BORING FPS shooter I've played

Чётко. Возвращаюсь в видеоигры. Сириус Сэм 4 - самая понравившаяся часть из всех Семёнов. Просто кто-то не просёк фишку. Мне лично нравится, что 24/7 не валят толпы и рои противников, можно поизучать местность, погулять, временами постреливая, и отражая волны врагов. Просто, кто привык к Семёнам, она не нравится часто, потому что это немного иной шутер, отличающийся от других частей. Очень интересный опыт, прям от души.

Classic. Fun, simple, cringe... ohh my youth... Recomended!

a really great game, t̶h̶o̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶5̶8̶-̶6̶9̶ ̶f̶p̶s̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶7̶2̶0̶p̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶2̶0̶-̶4̶0̶ ̶f̶p̶s̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶1̶0̶8̶0̶p̶ ̶w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶s̶u̶c̶k̶s̶,̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶l̶l̶,̶ ̶a̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶f̶u̶n̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶+̶ 100%ing it is fun edit: nvm all that ♥♥♥♥, i'm a dumbass who didn't realize that i had super sample anti aliasing on (at x4) which killed my fps by running the game at x4 times the resolution, now i get like 50-70 fps on 1080p and cpu medium (2 customized), gpu ultra (11 customized), gpu memory medium (1 customied) settings + most likely had some other stuff that killed performance

Нуу, один браслет-ещё не пидор

This game is so bad

Bom para começa os cara, na epoca eu lembro dos caras prometendo 100mil inimigos no jogo, e meio que eles não mentira especialmente no final, pois tem tanto bicho nesse jogo que não dá para contar, sozinho é bem dificil, bem dificil mesmo, em dupla facilita bastante. a Historia é bem pastelona não tem emoção alguma, e so motivo para atirar mesmo, não espera profundidade em Serious sam o jogo tem Muito, MUITOS bugs GRAFICOS, de textura de tudo, as Cutscene mesmo bugam bastante. independente da maquina. mas o Final é incrivel, o penultimo boss é HORRIVEL PRA KRL,um boss que regenera a saúde em uma velocidade riducalmente rapida é sacanagem a luta mais arrastada que já vi, de resto o jogo é otimo, as musicas são muito boas, Sam nunca decepciona no quesito Rock pesado misturado com alguma coisa, esse jogo é mais para quem curte FPS oldschool e matar bicho sem motivo algum, pois é isso do inicio ao fim, se não a sua Praia pode esquecer ele.
