HD vs Classic?

[N/A]

I just picked up the latest humble bundle serious sam bundle and was wondering wether to play the hd ones first or classic?

Same thing, prettier graphics.

Oh, absolutely no!
HD version has very nice, pleasant graphics but lacks some minor content (i.e. some secrets are changed, IMO for worse, less interesting versions). Also HD is waaaaaaay easier, IMO too easy. The amount of ammo is monstrous compared to Classic, making some fights senseless (you just pick minigun and use it whole time, because there is full of ammo and you can carry much more of it than in Classic).
I advice to play and finish Classic first, as it also has nice stylish graphics (just a bit old) and gameplay is more balanced (i.e. when you play on "Serious" difficulty, then fights are really "serious").

I love the hd version. I would go with that

I got the humble bundle for this as well, but I don't see any classic version of it. As far as I know it just came with the HD's, the indie series, and the public test demo (which is pretty useless if you ask me)

I think the two classics came with serious sam 3 collectors edition, so you had to pay above the average.

I think HD have better graphic, but in classic you can feel the nostalgia :).

You can still feel a little bit of nostalgia because the Sound FX are all the same.

Just beat the HD version, thanks for all your suggestions. That final boss was insane.

Well, I still have the non-steam classic somewhere, and now I have another classic on Steam. I did decide to go with the "HD" variants, though. Just finished the first map, and it felt pretty much like I remember it.

Of course, I can't know for sure -- I was never such a big SS expert, and it's been quite a while...

Easier? what difficulty are you playing may I ask?
and I have noticed the beggining cutscene for TSE was removed, adding a small plothole in the beginning

Both versions are great,but I personally prefer HD.
