Any serious sam fans?

Yes! I didn't like Serious Sam 3 though. I've been a fan since the first encounter.

BTW, anyone see the new trailer yet?

Is Supplice out of early access yet?

seems like they are back with some fun ! didn't liked 3 and 4 very much, hope this one will get to me.

 

[BrawlMan]

4 very much, hope this one will get to me.

I know 4 was somewhat a base breaker, but that was mainly because of it being rushed. Once the patch updates on PC came out, and got ported to consoles, reception turned positive overall. I still suggest giving Siberian Mayhem a shot, as it is even better than the base game. I do hope you love this next entry too.

i loved heretic and hexen back in the days, it was DOOM with fantasy magic and stuff.
the remaster collection is great fun, especially in co-op (though it doesn't save in co-op you pick any level you want)
btw for some funny stuff, the Doom codes actually have a NEGATIVE effect,
idkfa removes all your weapons,
iddqd instant kills you
the game has it's own codes (all of if is in the menus on remaster)

I genuinely enjoyed Heretic more than Doom because it felt more put-together and had a much better atmosphere IMO (plus, I got genuinely scared of it in spots, which Doom never managed to accomplish).

 

[dr grim]

Loved heretic, hexen was a little too labyrinthic for me, i was constantly lost.

 

[ThunderBoy]

DUSK, anyone?

I love it.

It's probably my favorite among all the new classic-style shooters.

 

[Ikagura]

I love it.

Good game next to Amid Evil and Ultrakill.

I still need to do WRATH: Aeon of Ruin and Dread Templar.

And once again I'll make some Zortch propaganda because I really like this game and hope the sequel will come very soon:

Zortch on Steam

Meet Zortch Maxinum: short order cook, amateur engineer and professional slacker; Bored and tired of her day job she decides to go on a holiday but alas she picks a cheap option: turns out it's a scheme by aliens who capture humans to eat their brains! also this game is a sci-fi horror comedy fps

Any serious sam fans?

i loved the first and second encounters. think i played both classic and hd versions. its a hard choice to pick either versions because i loved graphics in both games.

i didn't enjoy 3 and thought 2 was a little too cartoony.

a tread for the boomer shooters here ! or " doom-like " games if you are old enough to remember !

those fps play like the old games of the nineties. old school gameplay vs hordes of ennemies, keys to unlock progression, powerup bonus and healthpacks on the ground.. and pure brutality !

Some game like this.

Remember Turok? I loved that game as a kid.

 

[TetsukoQ]

First person dungeon crawler boomer shooters

 

[Judier]

Marathon, anyone? Cause I think this game is one of the best gems that the boomer shooter genre ever produced.

 

[Badseed Badseed]

I hate all you and anyone that applies "Boomer" to Generation X. The real Boomers were our parents
you dumb shits. What if we call Gen Alpha generation asshole. Or the Millennials the dipshits that do face humor on tic-toc all day. Wait those last two were right. Baby Boomers were born from 1946- 1964

 

[BrawlMan]

I finally got Turbo Overkill on sale before it ended! It is amazing! I am still early in, and loving this Apogee throwback shooter!

I liked the PC remaster. I'm not great with a gamepad outside of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.

It's just the name given to the fact you're using a shotgun but it's just a nickname for the genre.

 

[Badseed Badseed]

Nah it goes further than that. Sure its used as a name of a genre now, I find it annoying that the dipshit kids put me and my parents in the same group. No one told them it is: the greatest generation, baby boomers, gen x, gen y and then all the crap that comes after. It bothers me, I'm old enough, I don't need to be called older. Plus Gen X started all the cool shit we have today. so I say FU young ignorant asshats.

You can just ignore that.

I mean Metroidvania makes no sense since Castlevania are no longer being made (even the latest entries were in a different genre) yet the name still remains.

See the thing that bothers me has nothing to do so much with video games, I totally understand that modern Doom clones are now called boomer shooters, but why? my dad never played them. I'm not a baby boomer, no other person I know or talk to around my age identifies that way. Why is Minecraft not called Millennial BS. or all the AI slop coming out now called Gen Alpha games. The problem started now with like 30-35 year olds calling themselves boomers on youtube and that just caught on.
Im gen X and proud, all you younger ding-dongs can just suck it.

Can we breath a bit and calm down please? No need to get overly angry about what is basically nothing that actually affects you.

I'm never mad, I might write that way most of the time. But I'm actually verry mellow thanks to
my constant intake of consumables. So have no worries my friend, my blood pressure is fine
and I really do like a small majority of people.

 

[Lokgamer]

Dusk is a must!!! I love this game.

Forgive father is excellent too

Honorable mention

 

[Lee__Kanker]

Dont look up the developers of Ultrakill or specific updates

My parents were also boomers and its really not that deep dude. boomer has become short hand for old in general because of other memes. its not literal.
