Rich Knuckles Mans the Serious Sam 3 Help Line

​

Rich Knuckles is the Serious Sam 3 Help Line operator and he's got some advice for you: stop being such a pussy.

If there's one thing Devolver Digital wants you to know, it's that Serious Sam 3: BFE [http://store.steampowered.com/app/41070], the latest addition to the finest Croatian-developed FPS franchise of all time, is seriously old-school. There's no overwrought story, no angsty supporting characters, no limit to the number of guns you can carry, no regenerating health and certainly no cover. There's just you, a bunch of insane guns and hordes of ridiculous enemies to use them on.

It might be a little confusing for gamers raised on a steady diet of modern shooters, so to make sure that everyone gets up to speed as quickly as possible, the team has set up a Serious Sam 3 Help Line, staffed by the inestimable Rich Knuckles, a man who tells it like it is. Two gun limit? Total bullsh*t. Hiding behind walls? Not fun. Crapped your pants from all the excitement? Put on a diaper and stay on the trigger!

"I'm already fielding all sorts of calls from shooter fans wondering where all the conveniently placed barricades and random concrete walls are in Serious Sam 3: BFE," Knuckles said. "Most of these guys have gotten soft from years of crouching behind cover, picking off one or two approaching enemies as they make their way through missions. It's pathetic."

To reach the Knuckles-powered Serious Sam 3 Help Line, just pick up your phone and start mashing buttons until somebody answers, then ask them about the game. It's called viral marketing, kids. Serious Sam 3: BFE comes out for the PC on October 18.

Great trailer, I especially love the stuff against limited guns, firing from cover and regenerating health

 

[Rad Party God]

Interesting line and very thoughtful: "Stop being such a f*ing p*ssy".

I seriously need to get this game >.<'

 

[sephiroth1991]

I like how they taking every opportunity to say fuck you to modern shooters, however I hope it doesn't suffer the duke nukem problem of being well crap.

 

[Mister K]

Ah, yes, Serious Sam.
You know what I just remembered? Every enemy has a bio with the best way of defeating them. You know, kill suicide bombers from far range, etc.
And here is the description to the final boss, a giant freaking demon: "Stand on your knees and pray to the god of your choice, maybe then your death will be at least not as painful".
Oh, the sweet memories.

 

[brunothepig]

Did... Did he just say 16 player co-op? Holy fuck! God damn do I want that.

Oh yeah, the ad was pretty fucking hilarious as well.

 

[subject_87]

I need to give Croteam all my money right the hell now. Awesome!

 

[Spudgun Man]

Ah fond memories of getting your ass so sorely kicked that blood and bone fragments scatter everywhere, grinding down every last shard of ammo, no health pickups in the vicinity, and still pulling through after 12 tries.
And enjoying every second of it.

Then again who craps the pants at Gnarr? Especially when there are those bastards the Kleer Skeletons

I never was that big on Serious Sam, but man does this guy rule.

 

[somonels]

I usually despise advertising, even well done ones, but this was good.

 

[Sennz0r]

Serious Same

...Was that intentional? Funny either way

In all seriousness, though: I want this game. Want want want it so bad. People wanting to give Croteam money can do so already through Steam, by the way. Though the Dead Island debacle made me distrustful of pre-orders for now.

Maybe in a week or two.

 

[Mouse_Crouse]

Everyone that complained about DNF being too much like modern shooters, and too 'realistic'. Shut up, and play this game.

 

[V8 Ninja]

This new article makes me question one thing;

WHY HAVE I NOT PRE-ORDERED THIS GAME YET?!?!

That is all.

 

[GiglameshSoulEater]

Yes! This is what Duke Nukem Forever should have been like! This is what people wanted.

 

[kajinking]

I like how they taking every opportunity to say fuck you to modern shooters, however I hope it doesn't suffer the duke nukem problem of being well crap.

Still loved how the duke made fun of modern shooters then used all the things listed above that are cornerstones of modern shooters. Aside from that I may now look into Serious Same, the series looks interesting.

 

[Andronicus]

I'm actually a little disappointed that they didn't get Mr. T to do this.

Sigh.

This is so manly that it makes me want to hammer nails through a steak,then set it on fire and throw it at a rhinoceros whilst calling it a ****. Of course, the demographic for this game will not consist of overweight IT technicians who sit down when they pee because it's easier. Because they play cover-based shooters and RPGs.
