@@DinnerForkTongue Yh. There are two mods I think he's really gonna enjoy. First one is Serious Sam 3: The Classic Encounter, replaces all enemies and weapons with classic encounter counterparts (even soundtrack I think). Second one is BFE Enchanced (or BFE Unity). Brings a lot of enviromental and gameplay changes. Also adds new enemies (all reptiloids, lava goelms and more).
Y E S Edit: For anybody wondering, those random pauses that occur sometimes when decino kills monsters, that's just some bug in the emulator. On hardware it doesn't do that. Actually... I think it can occur on rare occasion but its far more often in the emulator. Edit 2: The "scout boys" are called Dib Dib Dum Dums. Not sure what affiliation they have to regular Dum Dums.
Never played this one but good lord this shotgun looks amazing, the reload animation reminds me of Blood's Sawed-off , which is like the best thing since sliced bread...
I hope we see one like this in Planet Badass, as long as Croteam is done with shoehorned nostalgia of trying to make things EXACTLY as they were in TFE.
Next Encounter was a great game. I wish either Croteam would team up with Climax and port this game to PC or have Climax team up with Nightdive to port this to PC while having the Okay to do so from Croteam.
Childhood memories hit hard with this one. I freaking loved this game. The variety of locations, enemies, weapons and items is incredible. Underrated gem, but oh well, if it wasn't console exclusive maybe it would've gotten the recognition it deserved. I am looking forward to you completing this on serious, because it's actually quite challenging even on normal (although, I was just a little boy when playing this so I most likely just sucked, lol)
My favorite serious sam game. Great levels,weapons and the best jokes in the series in my opinion. Shame we'll probably never get a re-release. Great playthrough bro.
Actually, I think that this "spin-off" is more faster than classic series of Sam. So, in conclusion this means more dynamic fights and I support this gameplay... Anyway, thanks for playthrough. And wish You less broken spawners in all games of Serious Sam. See ya in comments in next videos)
I learned how to use a controller just to play this game on PS2. I never had a console before or played anything with a controller. My brother got PS2 a few years ago and this was my chance to play NE. I'm not that bad with controller anymore but I would prefer keyboard and mouse any time lol. To me this gameplay feels like tfe gameplay but with better arena fights. Also now I can finally get gold medals on all levels xD
I'm so happy you've made this series. I never played Serious Sam, ever, until a couple of a weeks ago when I got this on PS2. I loved the game, and I really dig your playthrough analyses so this is absolute catnip for me. Thanks, Mr. Decino!
Aw yeah, I had a feeling this was the next series. My last experience with this one was an eternity ago when I still had a functioning GameCube and rental stores were all the rage. Hope it gets a port to modern consoles and maybe the PC some day! ..though the later would probably make it much easier.
``Chainsaw pushes them (...) They're called dum-dums`` I don't think the name is deserved, they appear to be actively avoiding being chainsawed after all while most enemies either stand still or charge at you. :)
It has other things in common, like the floating "sensei" dudes from Chi-Fang, Sam's character design and the dual Uzis. And the utterly nonsensical story. You could argue Serious Sam 2 is a better sequel to SS:NE rather than SE in terms of tone.
I don't know if this was intentional from the developers, but I like how Sam's jokes in this game are more deadpan, like he doesn't realize he's joking at all, to me it fits and makes him live up to the name "Serious" Sam.
"Cause this game's actually really good". What an understatement. I wish this one was ported to PC. Closest thing we're getting is a mod for Second Encounter.
I got enough gold medals to get to the developer map in this game on a rental when it was new. It's a pretty good time, I like it a lot better than Serious Sam 2. It's really a shame that we can barely hear Sam's joking voice in these recordings because I'd love to hear every instance of the 'previous wife' running gag again.
Serious Sam Next Encounter A 2004 first person shooter game with huge waves of monsters and weird stuff that can be played on the GameCube or PlayStation 2 and is part of a series of other games
Countless hours spent on this edition as well, but I could never defeat the Boss at the end, because my expertise with the sniper rifle was remarkably sub par. I really should've practiced more with it but I was impatient as all get out to be bothered. The perils of lackluster gameplay... You, on the other hand are impeccable!!!
Damn this game seems close to the SS2, the pleasing tight spread of the shotguns, the underwhelming double uzis, more arcadey stuff like lives/checkpoints, the fonts all over the place, its like it is some kind of prototype
I always liked the setting of this one especially right after Egypt and Peruvian/Oriental and Europish landscapes we seen in original encounters before. It would be fantastic if this version was made for PC as well as almost like a trilogy as they all share this similar graphical style even tho this one was made by different company, but they really nailed the feel of it.
Huh, I never knew Next Encounter had a failsafe for enemy spawners. I guess Croteam took some notes from it since they added a similar system in Fusion.
It's a shame your Sam videos aren't as popular as the Doom ones. Your Doom videos are fun. But I tend to use them as background noise. And Doom play-throughs are a dime'a'dozen. Your Sam play-thoughs are both unique and the way you play them is artistic.
First like. Edit:- weird thing about those frog things is they run backwards if you use the chainsaw. Not sure if it's a good design on the game developers part or not.
Hey decino do you have any plans to playthrough the "No rest for the living" Doom 2 campaign? I just done a uv runthrough the other day.. its pretty tough. Nice to see how a pro does it lol
@@decino ive somehow managed all of my uv max runs on console only.. from ps1 version to xbox360 and now xbox1. Ive never managed to play doom on pc unfortunately.. missing out on so many amazing customs campaigns :(
The main difference is they didn't go kiddy time whackjob with the monster design. Because come on, clowns on unicycles instead of the iconic kamikazes? Gidoutta here!
There's a lot of enemy and fight designs that were used in ss2. Even Uzis look almost the same like in ss2. This game combines the best from ss1 and ss2 and I like that a lot.
This was the first and only serious Sam game I played until serious Sam 4 (which is unplayable) but the first time I ever played it and to this day is my favorite game of all time and I want to play them all I just wish I could own every single one on my XSX and that they played smoothly
I know this came out before SS2 , but the UI looks pretty much the same in SS2. Did they just decide to include the uzis in SS2 too since they were in this game? And the vehicles too. It makes SS2 seem like sort of a sequel to TNE.
This game was fantastic on Gamecube! One of the best shooters, and in my opinion the best that isn't Metroid Prime 2. Two completely different games though, so I love them for different reasons.
Hey, thanks for doing this game! I used to have this on Gamecube, too... never got very far. I guess I wasn't... serious... enough. :) Anyway, have fun, and please consider doing some co-op!
@@decino Framerater did a video about that. Optimal audio settings where everything is perfect are: Sound 8 Music 5 Speech 9 But that might only be good on PS2 version. I don't have GC version to compare.

You missed a secret in the first mission. Jump in the pool with the piranhas and swim through the tunnels and you get these pearls that you place on a statue and opens a door
I like this a lot but I do wish they wouldn't clutter the screen with huge-ass letters every 2 seconds, in my opinion it detracts from absorption into the game.
The 2 second looping beats of "soundtrack" leaves much to be desired especially when compared to Damjan's work on the main series. However, it's good to see that now he's composing the soundtracks for the recent spinoffs like Bogus Detour and Tormental
I didn't expect this one tbh, but with you, it can only be good.

First thing I thought seeing that absolute unit.
I hope we see one like this in Planet Badass, as long as Croteam is done with shoehorned nostalgia of trying to make things EXACTLY as they were in TFE.
"Are there any enemies?" "All kleer". "Alright I'm moving in". "No wait!"
As long as decino enjoys himself, I'm having fun watching.
And he is enjoying himself more than I ever remember.
"This game uh focuses on scoring, a lot."
NEW HIGH SCORE !!!
Please enter your name :

Or something like that.
At the start of the second level one of the statues can be broken for a treasure pickup that can help with getting a higher score.
Next Encounter was a great game. I wish either Croteam would team up with Climax and port this game to PC or have Climax team up with Nightdive to port this to PC while having the Okay to do so from Croteam.

I don't think the name is deserved, they appear to be actively avoiding being chainsawed after all while most enemies either stand still or charge at you. :)
Could never tell if that was a bug or intended design. Dumb to introduce the weapon with those guys immediately, though. Makes you not want to use it.
@@FrameRater in the ps2 version of the game they actually dont avoid the chainsaw
Kamikaze screaming loud AAAAA - this game is ok.
holy fuck thats an epic gamer moment right here
Extremely Neat---emulation definitely opens up the possibilities for some other buried gems out there getting The Treatment.
37:16 Is it just me, or those enemies sound like Levitators from SS2?
It has other things in common, like the floating "sensei" dudes from Chi-Fang, Sam's character design and the dual Uzis. And the utterly nonsensical story. You could argue Serious Sam 2 is a better sequel to SS:NE rather than SE in terms of tone.
2:10 They may have messed up the shirts for the enemies, but they didnt forget the "AAAAAGGGGHHHH" sound effect!
I was skeptical when you said this wasn't made by Croteam, but this game looks like a blast. The werebuls ramming the Jeep was pretty scary.
I don't know if this was intentional from the developers, but I like how Sam's jokes in this game are more deadpan, like he doesn't realize he's joking at all, to me it fits and makes him live up to the name "Serious" Sam.

I've never seen this serious sam game!!! The hype the hype oh shhhi the hype is SERIOUS!.
More serious sam?
Perfect
it's kinda sad to think about how if this game was released nowadays, the lost levels would cost 9.99
Actually pleasant to watch FPS console gameplay?
*This is beyond science!*
For what it's worth I've been enjoying your Serious Sam videos a lot more than your Doom videos lately :)
The Serious Sam videos are my favorite content of yours, don't you dare ever feel bad about wanting to upload them.
God I loved this game so much. The music, the sounds, the enemies were just great.

Never heard of this game before, but I have to say I share your enthusiasm about it! Looking forward to the next episode :)
It this emulated or are you playing on original hardware?
Edit: left the comment too early
Oh wow I did a play through of this a while back. I really enjoyed it. Im super happy to see you playing this!
I raged so much on Serious difficulty Atlantis.
I HATE THOSE STUPID FISHMEN
When decino plays the console exclusive serious sam game but not the previously console exclusive doom game *sadness noise*
I will watch anything with 'Serious Sam' in it from you! I hope we get to watch you play Serious Sam 2! :)

@10:44 "You can jump into this barrel of wine... I guess". I believe the word you're looking for is "vat" : a large vat of wine.
Are you legit playing it on a Gamecube or are you running it through Dolphin?
Dolphin.
Damn this game seems close to the SS2, the pleasing tight spread of the shotguns, the underwhelming double uzis, more arcadey stuff like lives/checkpoints, the fonts all over the place, its like it is some kind of prototype
And like all sad prototype stories, it's better than the final version.
This is will be a SERIOUSLY AWESOME walkthrough (Also do you played the game with dolphin emulator or original gamecube?)
Dolphin.
After this Jeep drifting session Decino must beat Initial D on psp
I wish that the main Croteam titles shared the Kamikaze headless chicken sprint this one has! It's just the perfect amount of silly!
