Title: Serious Sam 3 BFE
Post by: achtung on December 28, 2011, 08:57:06 pm
Has anyone else picked it up? My girlfriend gifted it to me on my birthday, and I can't put it down. It feels great to blindly massacre hoards of monsters.

16 player coop for the win :)

Not really too hard with that many players... but the sense of utter mayhem on a massive scale can't be found anywhere else.

Actually, no.  The developers put some serious hack-detection stuff in there, so if you pirate it you'll have to face an invincible scorpion monster as soon as you grab the pistol.

Funny that at the age of 30, when you do not have any financial reason against buying a game you want, you are forced to pirate due to DRM. But come to think of it, it's their loss and not mine. The same stuff happened with Deadrising II, nowhere did the box say it requires constant internet connection. Guess if I now use a cracked or a vanilla version of that game? But at least I bought it, which doesn't seem to happen with Serious Sam III.

I always find those types of anti-piracy measures amusing.

Which game was it that became progressively more difficult (to the point that it was impossible to win, and further) every few minutes if it thought that it wasn't a legitimate copy?

Dude, no. You are not being forced to pirate anything. If you can't deal with steam for ethical reasons, don't buy it OR pirate it.  Your message is much more effective that way. You could also buy it and then crack it, but that doesn't seen like an option for you.
