Serious Sam 3

[Skillz]

Anyone got it yet? Better yet, has anyone played any of the other Serious Sam titles (First Encounter and Second Encounter) because this one is loosely based off of those, only it has a much, MUCH more modern shooter feel to it. More realistic weapons (though it still has it's far fetched rocket launchers, electric guns, etc..)

In all honestly, I think it's a lot more like the old school Duke Nukem games than the old school Serious Sam games. Seems Duke and Sam got together and well, Sam won according to the name of the game at least. Haven't played the new Duke Nukem that just came out, so I can't say how good that one is; but if this was Duke running around in the game instead of Sam, it would feel almost identical to a Duke game.

Must say I'm really enjoying running through the campaign with friends. Haven't completed it yet, got ~11 hours in the game so far, but some of that is redoing levels since you can't "save" when playing online. So if you make it halfway through a level, then decide to call it quits you'll have to start at the beginning of that level. Not that big a deal.

Anyone else got it?

I have read Gamespot reviews for more then 12 years. I never watched another site. Until last year, I started to glimpse at IGN.
And from this year, Im generally going by 1Up and a few other basic review sites, not affected by promos as much, to get a decent review.
Gamespot is but a memory of what it once was.
Just look at Battlefield 3 vs Modern Warfare 3. Im not a fan of either but enjoy them both. But BF3 deserved a 9+ for its daring entrance to that kind of graphics, and MW3 deserved maxium 7 for its ripoff that could have been a DLC, just to name a few.
Overall Gamespot does a decent job but it feels as they feel its their right to dish some games that are great, and then give great score to obscure games that might though be fresh in the ideas.
Simply put, they are not consistent. Its too much personal taste that shows through, and a game site such as Gamespot cant have that, since it is the largest site on internet for game reviews, but it is slowly fading away from the old school gamers due to we simply dont feel that its a serious site any longer.

I have no idea how that is relevant to Serious Sam 3.
