So this game is essentially half life 1 with horror elements, right?

Did HL1 had gameplay revolving around slow-mo you underrage fuck ?

>>386426061
no

>>386426109
So this game is essentially HL1 + slow motion right?

>>386426194
Have you even played either game?

>>386426061
No.

>>386426061
hl1 didn't invent the fps

>>386426061
No. This is if you took Japanese horror and mixed it with the over the top gunfights of a John Woo film. It has nothing at all in common with Half-Life other than the fact that it has a research factory, shady government secrets, and is a first person shooter.

I don't really know how you came to the train of thought you are even on.

>>386426061

Psychic Rape.

>>386430528
That really was a big theme with these games wasn't it when you really look back at the first 2 games.

Whatever it is, it's an excellent game. One of my favorites.
The expansions and sequels all suck.

>>386430595

When you think about it? Yeah, pretty much. More literal in the 1st case because at least she was alive when it happened.

Second one? Full on psychic rape.

>>386430930
F.E.A.R 2 was fun, but not anywhere close to being amazing like the first one. Extraction Point might be even better than the stand alone game. But hey, I don't want to argue. I totally agree 3 and Perseus Mandate were not very good.

>>386431053
Yes. I agree.

its not even scary and its some of the most fun you'll get out of a shooter along with top notch combat AI

>>386431242
>[Post a Reply]
It honestly had some really tense moments, and is a better showcase of jump scares, but I agree, most of the time it's just a spooky little girl walking behind you and laughing, and zombie peoples shadows.

And you are God damned right about it being one of the funnest shooters you can play, and the A.I. is so enjoyable to fight agains't

>>386430930
Perseus Mandate and Extraction point are both still tonnes of fun, if not a little retarded at times. Extraction point sucks once it introduces supernatural enemies. Agreed that FEAR 2 and 3 suck though.

It has literally nothing in common with HL design-wise, outside of being a shooter.

Fear is a weird beast. It has god awful level design, pretty graphics but hideous art direction, completely silly story, fucking TERRIBLE pacing, literally no challenge what so ever, gimmicky mechanic that honestly was not interesting even back in Max Payne, insufferable characters, three-weapon limit, and the A.I. is actually insanely predictable and might as well be hard-scripted in... But it's still weirdly fun.
It's definitely a lot more fun than it has ANY right to be.
Which seems to be a running theme with Monolith, honestly. Just thinking of Shogo, of how utterly awful the design of that game was, how ugly it was and still, how much fun I had with it.

Fuck me, now I want Shogo 2.

>>386431535
Monolith is easily one of my favorite game companies, solely because they understand how to make a big dumb Hollywood film in the form of a video game.

>>386431936
Maybe I should have said their older games then, as I have not gotten to play Shadow of Mordor yet, but I have hear good things about it. I really love their older stuff such as Blood 2, Shogo, No One Lives Forever, and Alien Vs. Predator 2.

But if I remember correctly, she also can't hurt you (aside from a few select moments if memory serves me correctly).

>>386432046
She does though in her real form.

>>386431535
Pretty much my opinion except I think bullet time is very interesting in Max Payne because both your and enemy bullets are projectiles so you need to dodge their shots and also lead yours. In FEAR it's just there to let you devastate the clones in even more ridiculous ways, like kicking them in the face etc.

F.E.A.R had some of the best lighting I have ever seen in a game.

Okay, that's all god n shit. But tell me, why do people pretend to dislike FEAR 2?

>>386432285
Simple is good.

>>386432330
Oh I love F.E.A.R 2, my only major problem with it was the lack of an overall story.

>>386432330
I like Fear 2 and even I see why people dislike it.

>>386432330
>make COD clone
>remove 90% of the cool guns
>remove all the features that make FEAR 1/expacs good
>add bullet time

that's FEAR 2 in a nutshell, the only good thing that came out of it is the hot as fuck alma and ghostrape ending.

I can see flaws of FEAR 2. But it is nowhere close to a bad or boring game. It is above decent game.
>>386432390
Compared to FEAR 1 you mean? FEAR 1 story wasn't that good and FEAR 2 story isn't bad.

>>386432616
I love Fear 2 story because of how ridiculously bleak it is. All the people you meet die horribly and nothing you do accomplishes any good. And it's set in the middle of a ghost apocalypse.

>>386432616
F.E.A.R 2's story wasn't "bad", it just wasn't really there for me. And I personally thought the story in the first game was actually pretty darn good for what it all was.

>>386432542

Snake Fist was the hero we needed, but not the one we deserved...


That video was golden by the way.

/v is not a single mind

I thought Fear is okay, boring story, boring environments, but with fun gunplay.
I didn't really use slow mo because it didn't game the challenging, exactly the opposite.

First expansion was okay, second was better than the original game.

Fear 2 was shit, it was a weird mix of cod and fear1. AI was shit, enemies were shit, the gunplay was shit. (often taking up to 3 shotgun shells to kill a basic enemy standing next to you)

I thought i was gonna hate fear 3, after I played the second one, and to my surprise, the game was fun af. It did feel like a cod game, but the weapons were fun, and environments and level design was way better then it's predecessors.

Not at all, it's more about combat than story telling like the HL series. Also the AI seems really smart and satisfying to fight

>>386433357
>/v is not a single mind
I didn't imply otherwise.
>Fear 2 was shit
So you dislike second game because it is gameplay worse than 1? What exactly did you like in third game? For me it doesn't make sence that you like FEAR 3

>>386430693
This is the most pointless post itt please end your life

>>386433704
The only thing the original Fear was good at was gunplay.
Weapons were satisfying to use.
From particle effects, screen shaking, light, ragdolls, and overall all weapons had a different feel.
Either it's turning enemies into a mist with the shotgun or turning them into skeletons with snipers, all weapons made you feel good.

Fear2's weapons had none of that.
All weapons just felt weak.

Fear 3 had fun and powerful weapons.
Simple as that.

no, it was like skyrim
with guns

But he wasn't Point Man. That's annoying to me.
On that note, does anyone else miss the late-90's/early-00's design that F.E.A.R. had? Everything looks so turn of the millennium I can't help but think of it nostalgically.
