Serious sam is meant to be crazy and ridiculous they don't have to stick to the typical desert scene. Just because they choose to set the game in the desert does not mean they get a free pass from not making interesting and colourful looking levels. Since when did a reviewer have to play every game in a series to review it? Especially when the game is a prequel and therefore the reviewer would not have miss out on any story. Sorry but the review was well written and enjoyable to read, from the way you act it seems like you only respect opinions if you share the same. Reviews are a single persons view on a game and therefore cannot be wrong unless they lie which I doubt many do.
I'd love to see a B horror movie based on Deadly Premonition. You would have to hire the cheapest actors in order to replicate the over the top and awkward actions of the characters Also Swery would have to direct it, that is a must!
I made my PC for about £400 around 3-4 years ago and I can still play the newest games. Fair enough I can only play the Witcher 2 on medium settings but it still looks great.
@ALaPigeon Your a grumpy xbox fanboy. If you think about it, it's not that strange. Many people know Mass Effect as a very plot driven game they might not realise it has an interactive comic thing and just assume they wouldn't understand it. While LBP is a franchise they are used to and may have sank a lot of time into already. There's also that stigma attached to ME2 as it is already a year old, there are so many good games coming this year they might not have the time / money to invest in a year old game. And the dull remark many would say the same for ME1. If you had any experience of the vast level editor would would realise LBP is not just for kids. Saying that I would chose ME2 over LBP (haven't played 2 yet) any day.
I'd like to see the next GTA in Ireland with the IRA and fight for independence or even in 1960's Glasgow, Scotland with all the gangs. Hell I'll take anything in the UK. As much as I love America I'd like to see something different for once. Japan would be pretty cool too.
Okay I as going to stay out of this until I saw Chris Tweet of emails Charlie was being sent. Unlike most people complaining I read the review and Charlie makes a very good case for it being an eight. There is so many reason why the people complaining are so stupid.
1. A eight is still great
2. Games are subjective
3. You can't complain about other games getting 10s from different journalists thats just stupid.
4. Unlike most of you Charlie has played the full game and completed it
5. Charlie has a fucking brain unlike half of people commenting.
6. Anybody who actually gets upset at a review to the point were they feel the need to insult the reviewer and even say he should be fired need to have a good look at themselves.
7. To all the people who are saying he is trolling. Charlie wouldn't do that Granted I don't now him personally but after hearing him on the podcast he doesn't seem like the sort of person who would give a 8 so he could get some lulz from the internets reaction.
Rant over Charlie was getting so much hate I thought he might need a little love. :)
@Felixthecat Thats a really stupid way to think about it. I could probably describe ME1 story in about 100 words it's really no that complicated. the choices barely make a difference to the second game. PS3 users should be excited by the fact they get to play one of the greatest games of this generation not upset that they might miss a few callbacks.
