Serious Sam HD

U.S. $6.79 on Steam right now.

Anyone played it? Like it? Is it just waves and waves of meanies or is there an actual story?

Same game, better graphics.

The original was pretty much waves and waves of enemies, with a story only in the sense that it had an end boss. It was pretty goddamn awesome though.

The moment story started mattering in FPS games is the moment right before FPS started to get shitty.

I.E. Shortly after HL came out.

I disagree. I start a game for the game play. I generally finish for the story. I don't need a huge story, but "go kill shit" doesn't cut it.

"Go kill shit" used to be all that mattered for me but not anymore which is why I never finished painkiller. There needs to be a good story involved these days otherwise single player gets really boring in a hurry.

Then you're playing boring games.

I still play Quake, Serious Sam, and UT.
