Good thing I found it in the Latest Content.
Ah, too bad he didn't "really" like it; but he didn't hate it either (oh my gosh). I still can't play this game yet because my PC is so very very crap. This makes me sad since I've beaten Serious Sam TFE and Serious Sam TSE many times.
"When he instant kill the gaint spider enemy, it look for all the world he's knocking their skullplate off with a single swing of his might ballsack"
That need to be put on a T-shirt (well a shorten version) now!!

Great review for a great game. So glad to hear the gray guys get phased out a bit because when I was playing it I couldn't help think they were out of place a bit. I've just had to assume that the crappy "running through buildings with people like enemies" section is supposed to be some sort of reference to modern shooters, but its more frustrating then anything and almost made me give up at one point. Then I got to the open section with unlimited rockets and a massive spacecraft beaming down waves of enemies and I gleefully remembered why I liked the 1st game.
I suspect this is one of his "stash" reviews (ones he partially finishes and sets aside to be pulled out at a moment's notice). I figure we'll get a Year In Review video once the effects of too much champagne and cookie-dough buckets are cleared out.
I quite enjoyed this one, though

Did 2011 Shooter season bully itself into 2012?
Any way, I was curious about this one.
Now I know it exists.
So... there is that.

Luckily, I got Serious Sam TFE and TSE HD editions 75% off back in May 2011. They were also put 90% off on Steam's holiday sale while BFE was 50% off for being "new" and not as crowded as Skyrim or Modern Warfare 3.
I'm not sure who chooses the sales, since Duke Nukem (will) Forever (be known as a letdown) got lots of sales. If it's Croteam who made the sales, then that sure is nice. If Valve's Steam team decided the discounts, then it might be about the Metascore or something.

What a good video to start(so to speak) 2012 with.
Got a few chuckles off and I'm glad Serious Sam didn't go mainstream and remained a good old school shooter from back in the day,as it would seem like it.
Haven't said it in the last video comment,but Happy New Year Yahtzee!

If I may play at being Johnny Carson, I'm guessing that The Bastion is going to get Yahtzee's nonexistent top game of the year reward.SilversunFire said:
Although Portal 2 is another candidate, because all of Yahtzee's complaints could be summed up as "Not as good as Portal 1." And in terms of praising-with-nitpicking, that's a pretty solid recommendation.
