Battlefield 3 vs Serious Sam 3: BFE
Battlefield 3
Battlefield 3 is the sequel where EA games truly opt to focus on enhancing its multiplayer gameplay rather than trying to go the route of Counter Strike or Call of Duty. Here, you have complete and total freedom to fight the way you like. There are nine massive multiplayer maps of varying terrains for you to battle in, a wide variety of vehicles, weapons and gadgets to improve you combat capability, as well as a ton of unlockables.The most interesting part of this installment though is that there are now four unique player classes, namely Assault, Engineer, Support and Recon. Each of these classes have their own roles to play in the team and only by working together will the team be able to achieve victory.
Due to the classes, Battlefield 3 may feel a bit restricted to some players, but in a way, it's good because at least players will know which role they need to play as opposed to trying to do everything at once. It's a nice change and if you think so as well, you might want to give the game a try.
Serious Sam 3: BFE
Serious Sam 3: BFE is a first-person, action shooter that offers an explosive, bullet-hell-like gameplay on top of an already pretty frantic, arcade-styled shooting action. Kiting the enemies around is a skill you'll need in this game since it doesn't have the sophisticated systems that modern tactical shooters have, like cover or duck and roll. There are plenty of weapons, including a nice selection of melee weapons, for you to carry out your massacre with and you can easily switch between them whenever you like! Not to mention, the game has several new enemy types, including the massive Khnum as well as the massive AND hideous Scrapjack, in addition to the usual ones.Serious Sam 3 also has several game modes, including co-op multiplayer, versus multiplayer along with survival single and multiplayer. If you have your friends around your place, you can even play the game in split-screen mode and yell your heads off together when a monster caught both of you off guard. Best yet, creative players and modders are even given a level editor to play with. New mods or levels created can also be shared to the game community via Steam Workshop.
When it comes to crazy, almost non-stop action, Serious Sam is among the best game franchises to play. Serious Sam 3: BFE is their latest game and thus, it does look a lot better than any of their previous games, but you can still expect the same old (equally exciting) gameplay you've come to love.
