Far Cry 2 vs Serious Sam 3: BFE
Far Cry 2
Far Cry 2 sets you in the role of a mercenary who somehow found himself trapped between a 2-sided conflict while being stricken with malaria. You'll need to do whatever it takes to survive and complete your primary mission. Similar to the original, the game provides players with a beautiful open world to roam and explore as well as over 70 different side-missions to complete. This time around though, players can have even more fun with fire as the game mechanics will allow you to burn forests to cut off your enemies' escape. The environment in this game is destructible as well.Far Cry 2 also has a unique AI system that will build on the kills you've made and the reputation you've amassed among your enemies, resulting in unpredictable enemy reactions - they might simply drop their guns and run at the mere sight of you or they will immediately call for reinforcements. This freshens up the game significantly, giving you a different experience with every encounter. For players who want to play this game with friends, you can do so too, but be warned! Your friends can betray you as fast as they can decide to side with you, so you must always keep an eye on them, lest you get jumped.
This game is a brilliant sequel to the first Far Cry and surprisingly made quite a leap in terms of the realism of its gameplay. Some even dubbed this game as being the best Far Cry game ever, but well, you can give the game a try and we'll let you be the judge.
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.
