Serious Sam 4

Adventures In Modding Serious Sam 4

by

The Serious Sam 4 Workshop has a decent amount of mods to choose from, unfortunately when I tried to play modded co-op tonight the game threw an absolute shit fit. Despite both clients having matching assets a connection couldn’t be established. It wanted to redownload mods it thought we didn’t have, and send the game into an infinite crash loop. I’m hoping this gets fixed, single player modding works, but it’s always better when you have a buddy at your side to share in the shenanigans.

Starting The Weekend Seriously

I’m starting another playthrough of Serious Sam 4 just to see how well it performs with my 6800XT, and aside from the glitching during cutscenes the gameplay itself is butter smooth on 144hz. I even played with a few mods, nothing too spectacular. I was just glad to get a little aggression out, and warm the house. :v

Serious Sunday Fun (it’s Sunday until I go to sleep)

I’ve been playing Serious Sam 4 for the last few weeks with Yutram in Co-op, and while the game had some hiccups in the beginning, and while optimization leads me to believe this is the Crysis of Serious Sam games; I’ve been having a good laugh each time we finish levels. Tonight we summoned endless black holes, amongst other tools of destruction.

We also found a funny soccer secret hidden in one of the French alleyways:

Pushing the ball through either goal will cause the audience to throw stuff onto the field (like health or armor), but don’t expect much from the audience, as there really isn’t much of an audience!

I’m happy that Croteam didn’t skimp on the ridiculous secrets. May we find many more. For now I think I’ll allow Monday to be Monday.

Current Vacation Spot: Japanese Games (and a little bit of Croteam)

So far I’ve mostly relaxed (aside from doing my usual work around the house), been really getting more into the Yakuza series. I’ve been bouncing back and forth between Yakuza 0 and Kiwami. Sega really knows how to make a fun beat em up game with a serious tone, and not so serious minigames. I have to admit I’ve spent quite a bit of time playing in the Sega Cafe. and did a bit more pool this evening, that and actually advance the plot. Kiryu needs to buy booze for some homeless people to learn some vital information.

Of course I’ve also made time for some multiplayer shenanigans. Yutram and I battled our way through a Serious Sam Halloween, and then we advanced further in Resident Evil 6. We would have played tonight, but I somehow managed to bork my game with extra mods. Fortunately I have an install on my laptop with my mod collection previous to any errors, just need to make time to do a quick file transfer over the network and I’ll be in business again. Oh well, ended up playing more Yakuza 0 anyways. You might ask “Why play Yakuza 0 on Hallow’s Eve?” Just ask Merasmus…
