I've played over 3 hours of this and have probably seen Alma and Paxton Fettel twice. How is this a F.E.A.R. game?
after the main game (and Extraction Point) Alma's antics are pretty stale
they realized the shooting is the good part and decided new weapons and enemies would be better
>>344848310
>playing Perseus Mandate
Your own fault.
>>344848517
I've been told its better than F.E.A.R. 2 and 3
>>344848657
Better than 3, maybe. 2 was okay.
Or maybe you just confused it with Extraction Point.
>>344848310
Wasn't Perseus Mandate the expansion that focused on shooting?
I remember someone telling me that the two expansions focused on different aspects, but then again it could just be bullshit that someone told me.
>>344848310
>How is this a F.E.A.R. game?
it isn't, both xpacs were so bad they retconned them as being in an alternative universe
>>344848990
Extraction Point is really just more of the base game, doesn't really favor either aspect.
I haven't finished Perseus but it seems to have a clear focus on combat
My guess is because you're not playing as the Point Man from the base and Extraction Point, so Alma and Fettel don't really care enough to fuck with you.
>>344849010
They're only non-canon because Monolith said so, most likely because they didn't make them.
>>344849010
Extraction Point was actually pretty good, especially since it carried on from the main story and addressed a few unanswered questions
>>344849353
They probably made them non-canon because whatever company that did make them killed off all the characters (Holiday, Jin, Chen)

FEAR 2 is a downgrade in every damn area
>>344851232
I've only played the demo but the graphics seemed better than the original. I liked the fact that you had squad mates for a change
>>344851226
keep telling yourself that
>>344848310
Perseus Mandate is pretty shit.
The new weapons are either outclassed in the case of the weird lightning thing that has no ammo and doesn't reliably kill people, or absurdly OP in the case of the Nightcrawler rifle, which is physically painful to use with the bright-red-filter scope.
>Playing anything F.E.A.R. related other than the original
Expansions suck
Sequels suck
>>344848310
>Played FEAR 1 for the first time and loved it
>Went straight into Extraction Point and adored that too
>Immediately dived into Perseus Mandate
>Bored instantly
Maybe I just burnt out, but it really didn't grab me
>>344853021
I feel you.
It just felt unpolished compared to everything else.
>>344852818
That lightning thing is pretty much pointless. I remember I used it once then dropped it. I picked up Chen's SMG after he got pulled into that hole and coudn't bring myself to give it up despite having no ammo
>>344853021
same here. There's just so many plain, boring corridors leading to a room full of enemies and more boring corridors after that (and a few flickering lights for 'spookyness')
>>344848517
Fuck off. Perseus Mandate is THE better expansion pack.
More new stuff, way better spooky stuff.
The sequels are nothing but pure ass.
>>344854205
Yeah but a lot of the new stuff doesn't work (e.g. lightning gun).
>>344852964
EP is good, except for Jin dying
>>344857121
and Holiday
>>344851712
>WHY DO I HAVE TO GO WITH BUCKET
FEAR1 > XP > PM = 2 > Reborn > Dog Piss > FEAR3
Just finished FEAR 2 a few minutes ago. So they had the balls to make a cliffhanger ending, and then phone in a shitty conclusion in a sequel that no one even knew came out.
Alma rape was hot and all, but I knew there was a reason I never looked into the sequels.
>>344859903
I always hoped in 3 you'd play an insane Bucket phasing in and out of reality as he tries to kill arma and their own spawn
>>344859903
Despite the lack of praise for 2 and 3 I'm still looking forward to trying them out as soon as I finish Perseus mandate
>>344860347
I don't understand why he was so pissed with Alma. She literally gave herself to him
>>344860464
He got raped by a rotting corpse, and she did a horrible job trying to hide that from him
>>344851232
>>console hud
>>console gameplay
>>weapons feel like peashooters,shotgun is absolutely useless
>>enemies are dumber
>>graphics are worse
None of these things are evident
Ok
>>344860724
Is she really dead? I felt the games never clarified this fully
>>344861991
She was clinically dead at one point but she got better. Alma is a reality warper so she willed herself back into the physical plane on sheer rage and instinct.
>>344861991
Basically she was such a strong psychic that even though her body rotted and she physically died in the coma chamber thing, her soul wanted revenge. Which is why she can project herself as Alma in different phases of her life in the real world.
But there is one thing they never explained. How did a 15 year old with the mind of an 8 year old know how to stick penis in vagina.
>>344863126
She was in tune with the workstaff, albeit primarily their negative emotions and senses. She picked up all kinds of sordid acts over the years
>>344863416
If you listen to the various phone messages in the original game you hear that some of the armachan employees are pretty messed up people (e.g. Norton mapes)
>>344851226
>Having Stockholm syndrome
You got raped, its fine, it happened to all of us.
>>344864943
Not me familia, haven't played Fear 2 yet. Looking forward to it though
>>344863126
So they just left her body in the vault? Why not cremate it to get rid of the evidence?
>>344860808
The hud is worse than the original
>>344848310
You aren't point man in PM.
You are a grunt and the story is set during the events of F. E. A. R.
