What are your thoughts on this game?
It's a pretty great FPS and the slow down gimmick was perfectly used in it
As far as linear corridor shooters go, this game is still the best.
>using the nailgun to pin bodies to walls
HE'S TOO FAST
>>332647070
one of the best and more fun shooters of the 00s. Pretty much the swansong title of the golden age of gaming.
Still looks good, gameplay is superb, and the AI, no matter what tricks they used to achieve it, is still impressive as hell.
best Monolith game
this never went on sale during the gog insomnia sale did it

it's dated of course but I love this game.

Its a great game. I really loved how the AI enemies actually use the fucking area for cover and flanking.
>tfw slow mo and rekking everything
>>332647070
i like it
kicks are overpowered
too bad games that came after FEAR were more action, less spook, more movie
kinda like RE4 was to RE series
One of the best FPS games ever and easily the most fun to play horror game of all time, even if it isn't anywhere close to being the scariest.
A pure 10/10. All the expansions and sequels are shit, though.
are the expansions worth it?

my nigga!
I always liked PM more too. It has more new content, and a good ending.
>>332652361
O shit an actual good ending?
Does Spike Spiegel survive?
>start blasting everyone with shotgun is slow-mo
>kill the last guy and he splits in half
>turn slow-mo off for job well done
>didn't realize his upper part is still shooting gun while flying in the air
>get killed since I was playing on hardest
they say you know game is good when you have fun when you lose and this shit made me laugh
>>332651702
2 > Extraction Point and the other one
The expansions are just cash grab map packs not made by the devs, I don't know why people like them that much.

where can i buy fear 1 and 2 keys for my steam. in my shithole only fear 3 is on steam market
>>332647283
no. its NOLF and NOLF2
>>332656018
>2 > Extraction Point and the other one
Nope. F2 is shit. F3 is diarrhea.
>>332647271
Check in.
>>332647278
Man, what is it about FPS games and ridiculous kicking? FEAR, Dark Messiah and Underhell all have overpowered kicks.
>>332657170
with 1 friend and hardest setting even some Diarrhea is fun. FUN.
>>332657317
wow, three games released within a span of 13 years! That's sooo common and over-saturating!
>>332647271
>H-HAYAI!
>>332657729
I was generalising, but those three stand out for being so over the top with it.
>>332647278
There's no trick to the AI; it's not that amazingly good. Because the replica clones are very vocal and call tacticool things out all the time you get the false impression that they're organized and smarter than your average FPS foe.
>>332652262
The best
>>332658287
they still try to flank you, escape from you and your fire, drop obstacles on your way, try to flush your last known location with grenades, and even practice literal camping. That's already more advanced than in 90% of all FPS games today.
>>332647070
It's a bit overrated here IMO, but I liked it. Replayed it later without slow-mo and liked it less. The game loses color and some crazy options if you never go slow.
>>332657148
You know, for a stealth game NOLF had a very good gunplay
>>332647613
What the fuck did that team do before Alma?
An asian, a polack, a chicagoan, and an inhuman mute just jerking off in a big command room.
Even when you go on your first mission your CO personally drives you there in a sedan, likely because he literally has nothing else to do.
>>332659230
originally, the case with Alma was supposed to be one of the many events FEAR participated in. Each game in the series was supposed to be a new case, and there was supposed to be fancy car-chase sequences and shit in the first game.

>>332661709
Let me guess, you didn't like the ending?
I thought they kept the good elements of the first one and added on to it.
>>332662083
No I didn't like how it was basicly a console game ported to PC. Everything that made the first FEAR great was gone or changed for the worse, starting from the basic UI (glowing fucking enemies) and ending with turret sequences and other mindless filler shit.
No wonder they put the best segment, the school, in the demo.
>>332661709
I get why people hated it but I love it cuzghost rape and impregnation
>>332652987
The second fear team get off the island and the dead fear team member is proud of them or something
I just today tried FEAR 2 after playing FEAR 1. Where the fuck did everything go wrong?
Why does the shotgun sound and feel like a man farting towards the enemy?
Why is the head bob so atrocious but turning me off turns me into a stiff unmoving robot?
Why is there more mouse acceleration than a stock Unity engine Steam Greenlight game?
Why am I stopped every 10 paces for an intel item that's as interesting as reading the packaging for printer paper?
Why is the AI now dogshit and won't even shoot at me for a few seconds after seeing me, not even talking to one another anymore?
Why are the environments a million times more static than FEAR 1?
Uninstalled after 80 minutes playing. There's some shine of what made FEAR 1 great in there but FEAR 2 just fucks it.
>>332661394
And you buddy must be high off your tits on heroin to think FEAR 2 is anything close to FEAR 1. Stare into the mirror and re-evaluate your life. Your family is disappointed.
>>332661709
At least it tried to be a fear game, Fear 3 was ungodly amounts of shit and the gameplay boiled down to "go into obvious arena, kill everything and then move to the next one",
>>332662670
that frame rate lock though
>>332662569
>Where the fuck did everything go wrong?
At the point where instead of making a PC exclusive game (which 1st FEAR was originally), they decided to make a console-focused multiplat title instead.
You also didn't mention forced 16:9 aspect ratio on all resolutions, no leaning, no dual-wielding pistols, no support for Mouse 4 and up whatsoever, and many other things.
Easily my favorite game
>>332663036
Oh God the no dual wield pistols either. Instead some glowing fucking brick on a stick that looks and feels horrible. Yeah, that's an acceptable replacement! I'm a super-powered soldier and I'm gonna fuck these guys with a brick-on-a-stick!
Also there's hitmarkers the size of a baby's fist everytime you hit anything that mean you can't see what you're doing. MAYBE I KNOW I'M HITTING THEM BY THE FOUNTAINS OF BLOOD COMING OFF THEIR FUCKING CORPSES DEVS FUCKING HELL! Garbage.
>>332663036
hey man that's just part of the spooky atmosphere :^)
>play fear 1 and expansions on extreme difficulty with no slomo
>every encounter is lethal and involves strategy/planning to not die
>enjoy all of this until perseus mandate
>all enemies just become impossibly hard to kill bullet sponges that are just tedious as fuck to deal eith even with slomo
That is why PM is complete shit
>>332663484
Dont forget:
>enemies literally GLOW when you enter Slow-motion
>>332662569
FEAR 1 = PC FPS
FEAR 2 = Console FPS
>>332662569
>no mention if how the AI is just substantially dumbed down due to shitty enviornments
>no mention of how the AI sounds like fucking pansies
>>332663625
>perseus mandate
>all enemies just become impossibly hard to kill bullet sponges that are just tedious as fuck to deal eith even with slomo
you just seriously need to git gud
The only good thing about FEAR 2 was cumming inside Alma
>>332662083
>they kept the good elements of the first
people that are this retarded post on /v/
>>332663796
>very first red eyed invisible nigga you come across can two shot you with full armor
>moves twice as fast as the normal ones and is invisible all the time
>literally takes half of the total ammunition you can hold for the advance AR you get to kill
>there are multiple of them and they appear in a darkened multi level room where the only way to proceed is a linear corridor
No fuck you
>>332664039
the school level was the peak of the entire series
>game slowly degrades into a shitfest by the end
why do all monolith games do this?
fear and both the condemned games start out so fucking good but the end level is always tedious and unsatisfying as fuck
>>332664136
>game finally has one enemy type that can match your OP movements, and it's a bad thing
Sure thing, son. How does it feel to be more plebeian "gamer" than some girls I know?
>>332664486
oh what, you can turn invisible? crazy I never knew that
>>332664486
>playing the game with slomo
>playing with a broken mechanic that trivializes the entire game regardless of difficulty
>playing with a mechanic that was literally added as an afterthought in development
>>332647070
sorry, but even COD: Ghosts had a better story
>>332664039
Do we even know why she wants to rape THAT one guy ? She already have 2 kids ffs.
A pretty solid shooter OP. My only gripe with it is that the audio is a bit jarring and it was never scary.
>>332665205
I mean she was used as a cumdumpster her entire life so that's all she knows
>>332662083
>good elements of the first one
I don't remember shitty weapons and bullshit mech fights in the first game.
The only thing they did better was the fact that not every level was either an office or a warehouse this time.
What happened to this?
>>332665205
The MC (Beckett) has some telepathic attribute. After the nuke that old lady takes you down the underground lab and amplifies your power (the blue tube thing you walks into). After that you starts to show up on Alma's psychic radar and draws her to you.

POWER ARMOR
>>332659230
What bugged me was how small the team was. Prior to Buddy Pointman joining, it was three people. THREE PEOPLE. One actual field agent, one forensics analyst and a fat guy who bosses the other two around. That's not a military unit, that's a highschool occult club.
Holiday was originally supposed to be part of the FEAR team, and I think having even him would have made "the team" more believable.
>Environment 1: Water Plant
>Environment 2: Offices
>Environment 3: Apartments/Urban area
I really liked the offices.
>>332647070
Has some cool things in it, but ultimately the base gameplay isn't that great. Slow-down trivializes the game, you can deal with any fight easily by using it, and you have plenty of it that regenerates pretty fast. The automatic weapons weren't satisfying to use. The level design was boring to go through, and variety in enemy design wasn't really a thing.
>wipe a entire squad
>only one guy left
>he scream "What...what should I do?" while running in pure mindless fear
Sometimes I actually felt bad about killing those clones, being born to only wage war with a brutal death as its only reward is no enviable way to live.
>>332668441
Yeah that too.
It's like they blew all their budget on their fancy base, and could only afford a handful of schmucks
>>332647070
Do normalfags and the rest of the world know how much the AI scripting is praised in this game? One would figure that other companies would compete with that if that was the case, but history proved otherwise.
It's a great game, the gunplay, tech and graphics still hold up today.
Only cons are that it overstays it's welcome and has repetitive levels, most of it is just the same office rooms and cubicles.
>>332647271
FLASHLIGHT
>>332672305
What did he mean by this?
>>332647070
It was great...
But the slow motion was *too* available. You don't even need to play in real time if you don't want to, ever
>>332673597
He can see that you have your flashlight on, you baka.
Fear was good
Fear 2 was ok (being banged by Alma was great)
Fear 3 is so far from what it used to be, all it is, is just the name and main protagonist and antagonist from the first game. I mean, where's the horror, why make 2 endings with the same game play, what the fuck is this coop shit.
>>332661724
Guess I'm in for a brief section in which I will be spoked but ultimately in very little actual danger.
