You ain't seen shit until you've played it on the 7800.

This is wrong and I've said so here on the Codex many many times that I think people who say this have no idea what they're talking about. Serious Sam and Doom are not the same type of FPS. Serious Sam is like Painkiller, not like Doom. There are very few games that are like Doom. Serious Sam and Painkiller put you in a square or otherwise shaped room and enemies spawn until you've killed them all, then you move to the next room and repeat, the room is just scenery. Doom is about map exploration and finding the keys and figuring out the switch puzzles, not killing waves of enemies. Just because all 3 games have large numbers of enemies does not imply that they are the same type of game. ffsThe Serious Sam games (First and Second Encounter) were not exactly top-of-the-line FPS games, but they were a throwback to the early days of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom: Pure mindless fun.
Pretty sure that's just called a 'difficulty spike'.Unkillable Cat said:Likewise, games that are ludicrously easy for about 95% of the game, only to have the last level or some extra secret bonus level being bone-breakingly hard... just because. I believe this is called "slamming into a wall of difficulty", and games like Cave Story, Trine, Syndicate and Psychonauts are memorable examples of this. This is not trolling, it's just bad game design, most often used to cover up the fact that your game is shit. At least that's the case in Trine.
