Hm. Okay, I now have the SS complete collection and SS3, but when I run Fusion it only gives me the option to play SS3. Is there something special I need to do for it to run the other games?

EDIT: Oh wow, that's misleading! The main menu says "Serious Sam 3" at the top with no way to change it. But if you hit new game and then either Campaign or Survival, that's where the previous games are. Somehow that doesn't seem well planned.

Quoting: KelsHuh. Looking at the sale page again, I see that out of the SS games, only 3 and Bogus Detour have the Linux logo. That limits the options a bit.

TFE and TSE also have Linux versions. They don't have Linux logo on their respective pages since standalone versions are Windows only, but with them you get access to Serious Sam Fusion, which works on Linux natively and has built-in TFE and TSE campaigns (you can play them in Fusion if you own respective standalone games).

Oh, that makes things look a lot better. I had no idea.

And yeah, I know Talos is awesome. I just have a lack of good Mr. Shooty Mans in my game library that this would fill.

Quoting: KelsSo you're a smart bunch, having chosen Linux and all. So let me pose a brain-teaser to you.

If I were to buy only one Serious Sam game, which would it be?

Fusion

Fusion can't be bought directly. It's included with the games that are supported by it.

As for choice, what razing32 said. Depends on taste. Although, with these prices there's little reason to actually choose one. Other than a thought experiment. :D

I have a budget that tends to approach zero, so I normally can't justify spending more than a few bucks on games here and there.

I'm definitely going to be diving into the survival mode again this weekend, I just hope a pack of wolves doesn't chase me into an abandoned vehicle like last time—fricken wolves!

Of course that won't happen this time, Liam. The new area doesn't have a vehicle to hide in.

Iconoclasts, just to be different.

Linux is like teepee. No Gates, no Windows, Apache inside.

Quoting: NanobangGood. I'm glad Steam has grown up and grown some huevos.

...by taking the most spineless position possible that avoids actually having to actually do anything.

I'd say it's rather the opposite. It has always been easier for companies to censor and discriminate to appeal powerful religious/political organizations and stay out of their radar as much as possible.
Trouble-makers are always looking for a company to target with a holy crusade to enforce their own personal values on the masses. I bet it won't be long until some of these assholes start a @boycottvalve campaign using some insignificant game that nobody is forced to buy or play as a pretext. Yet Valve resolved to endure this for your and my freedom as well. And I praise them for that.

When the shitstorm will happen I will support them with my wallet as I do for linux gaming.

LOL! This isn't Valve taking a stand for freedom. This is Valve cowering in the corner and saying "Stop criticising us! Look! You can have your anime tiddy games!"

As other people have noted, they left themselves a "trolling" loophole to allow staff to kick out stuff like Active Shooter, although they're sure to only do so if there's a lot of negative media attention first.

Quoting: KelsHonestly, it looks like they've still got a long way to go on the visuals. The BR side of it still looks way too much like Fortnite and that's going to invite "ripoff" talk. Whether that's true or not, it'll still hurt their sales if they don't make the difference clear enough.

Well, Fortnite isn't on Linux. For me, that's the deciding factor of course. Cross play between PC and Switch too, which means my son can get involved and play with me, that essentially speaks to me directly.

No micro transactions too, so you don't end up paying a ridiculous amount over time? Even better.

Single player, co-op support, multiple game modes including Battle Royale...yeah it sounds good to me.

Still, it could be a total flop, naturally if it is we will let people know :P

Hey, I want it to succeed as much as you do. But they're setting themselves up for problems unless they're able to separate themselves from "looks like Fortnite".
