Serious Sam is a series of video games (mostly first person shooters but later branching onto other video game genres) originally developed by Croteam.The main game series was praised for being a well-made throwback to old-school shooters where the emphasis is on massacring enemy hordes instead of dueling small, smart squads. And when we say hordes, we mean hordes, especially in those nice open expanses where you truly get to appreciate how much opposition Sam's up against - and, consequently, how much of a Badass he is.See also The Talos Principle, a game unrelated to the Serious Sam games beyond a similar premise of visiting ancient civilizations (albeit via simulations rather than Time Travel with alien technology) and, with the release of the "Serious" DLC, the ability to play as Sam. | |

The VR games up the ante by letting the player dual-wield any gun - yes, including the Miniguns and Rocket Launchers! If that wasn't enough, every VR game also lets you dual-wield different guns in each hand, so you could hold a minigun and a rocket launcher at the same time. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Serious Sam (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: In all the games, Sam's arsenal gets a heavy dose of this. On one hand, he has laser cannons and super-accurate miniguns, but on the other, in the first game he still totes around a Tommy Gun rechambered in 5.56mm, a pair of Smith & Wesson revolvers from 1875, and a giant technomagical cannon that looks straight out of the Age of Sail and fires huge explosive depleted uranium cannonballs at speeds defined by how long the fire button is held. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Serious Sam (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The First Encounter and The Second Encounter have a floating-point imprecision issue that causes several weapons to become 50% slower for no apparent reason during approximately the second hour and hours 18-36 of a given save file, and utterly wrecks the gameplay at about 300 hours in.note Specifically, when the in-game seconds value (which starts at 0 in a new game, is preserved through saving and reloading, and increments only while actively in a level) is 4,096-8,192, 65,536-131,072, and 1,048,576-2,097,152. While almost nobody is actually going to reach that third time range by accident, the first is very common and the second is just close enough that a first-time campaign playthrough might hit it. The Revolutions remake fixes this issue. | |

Too Awesome to Use: Late game guns found through a secret. Especially the Cannon, as its weapon pickup only gives Sam a single cannonball. The Serious Bombs, which clear the entire screen of enemies (albeit, within a limited radius, as NETRICSA's description implies). | |

BFG | |
| Serious Sam (Video Game) / int_8344209e | comment |
BFG: Really, almost all of Sam's guns besides the pistols, shotguns, and assault rifles / submachine guns count. Most of them would be more likely to be carried by an IFV than a man. The XPML21 rocket launcher is automatic, never needs to be reloaded, and fires 150mm HEAT rockets at 85 missiles per minute. For some real-world context, the Javelin fires a single 123mm missile and is considered a very heavy armament that needs a team to operate (the M72 LAW, operated by a single man, fires a single 66mm rocket instead). A competent pair of operators could maybe manage two Javelin missiles a minute. The minigun, of course; 1,200 rounds per minute from a 500 round belt. Especially BFE's version, which unlike the previous versions (that shared 5.56x45mm ammo with the machine gun) fires .50 BMG rounds according to the text on the ammo pick-up. The semi-automatic sniper rifle fires 16mm rounds. The XL2 lasergun rivals the minigun in size, and has four barrels. The grenade launcher fires 40mm HEDP grenades at a sustained 120 rounds per minute, basically making it at a man-portable Mark 19; the classic version never needs to be reloaded, while BFE's (called the Devastator) uses a twenty round drum magazine. The Cannon. Not a Hand Cannon, a "technomagical" Cannon Cannon, that fires uranium-filled cannonballs well over a meter in diameter. | |

Black Blood: The games allow you to change the blood from red to either green or "hippie", which replaces blood smears with images of flowers and the gibs with watermelons and other fruits. You can also disable the blood (and/or gibs) entirely. The "kids" option in the HD makeovers has the blood replaced with sparkley stars, and gibs are now candy. | |

Missing Secret | |
| Serious Sam (Video Game) / int_a9cec1f1 | comment |
Missing Secret: In some of the games, due to bad counting, it's impossible to get all of the kills and/or secrets in a level. Basically, when the game calculates how many enemies are in a level, it counts all of the pre-placed enemies and all of the spawners. The problem here is that some spawners only spawn their enemies on certain difficulties, meaning that the game counts enemies that you can't kill due to playing on a difficulty where they never appear. In addition, some spawners aren't even connected to anything that activates them, but these spawners are also counted. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Many of Sam's weapons never require reloading; despite some of them having actual reload animations, these weapons have limitless reserve ammo. There's even a server setting for co-op that removes reloading from the weapons that require it. NETRICSA's descriptions for enemies that attack with non-magical projectiles usually give an explanation for why they can launch them forever - such as Rocketeers' weapons having the same techno-magical ammunition replenishers the player's pistols do, and Bombers having "a large supply of inflatable bombs in [their] pockets". | |

Archaeological Arms Race | |
| Serious Sam (Video Game) / int_b8c61b01 | comment |
Archaeological Arms Race: All over the place. It's made clear in the intro videos alone that Earth is only holding out against Mental thanks to caches of Sirian technology scattered across the world. No fewer than four ancient cultures (Pre-Helenistic Egypt, proto-Babylon, pre-Columbian Aztec, and (oddly) Harold of Saxony-era England) had access to working Sirian ships, teleporters, and radios, though only the Egyptians and English managed to maintain them. The Egyptians even had a working time machine, which still functioned in the year 2260. Sirian tech wound up being the only way the UN could successfully send explorer ships out amongst other star systems, too, though that may have been what attracted Mental's attention in the first place. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills | |
| Serious Sam (Video Game) / int_bcd27e37 | comment |
Improbable Aiming Skills: In the earlier games, every weapon (except the shotguns) is 100% pixel perfect accurate. Even the Schofield revolvers and the Thompson. Sam can easily nail anything he can see from any distance, never even suffering from recoil or needing to look down the sights. In BFE, he does need to look down the sights for the pistol and assault rifle, which slows down his movement, but while doing so his accuracy is again 100% perfect, and the same applies for weapons (Devastator, Rocket Launcher, etc.) without sights, even with the addition of a scope to the former with the Deluxe edition of the game. It's possible to pull off really ridiculous feats of accuracy this way. | |

Shoot Everything That Moves: With the sole exception of II and its friendly NPCs and manageable turrets and vehicles, how else are you expected to save the universe? | |

Ludicrous Gibs | |
| Serious Sam (Video Game) / int_db33bc7e | comment |
Ludicrous Gibs: While the entire series, ever since the earliest installments, have plenty of red goo and bodily carnage to go around, starting from the HD versions, Sam's playing with the bodies of his fallen enemies took this to ridiculous heights. You can carve up bodies with your Knife if you want and, in BFE, you can split Werebulls in half with the cannon and blow Scrapjacks apart with a well-placed hunk of C4. Not to mention all the nasty bits the Sirian Mutilator leaves behind... | |

The "kids" option in the HD makeovers has the blood replaced with sparkley stars, and gibs are now candy. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Serious Sam (Video Game) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Goes from looking like a Duke Nukem clone to a cartoony buff dude. In III, he retakes the realistic path, though still significantly distanced from Duke. | |

Splash Damage: Comes from explosive weapons, as well as from the Kamikazes. Notably, playing below Normal difficulty makes the player immune to their own splash damage. | |

Emergency Weapon: The games always make sure that Sam starts with one melee weapon and one ranged weapon. Later games add extra melee weapons for his arsenal. | |

Adjustable Censorship: The different games have options to change enemy carnage from bloody red chunks of meat to floral blood with mushroom giblets. The HD remakes also allows for enemies to erupt giant pieces of candy whilst bleeding glitter. | |

Alien Invasion: Relegated until BFE and 4 (which put Sam right in the middle of it) to the backstory, where Sam is traveling more than three thousand years in the past trying to stop the invasion from ever happening. | |

Ambidextrous Sprite: The games do this for some weapons, too: text on the laser gun, for example, reads "XL-2" on the left side and "S-˩X" on the right. | |

New Weapon Target Range | |
| Serious Sam (Video Game) / int_ff1cde15 | comment |
New Weapon Target Range: When Sam obtains a new weapon, he's usually located in an area with enemies the weapon is useful against. For an example, kleer skeletons usually spawn when picking up a double shotgun or far-away enemies appear when sniper rifle is picked up. | |
