I like the idea of special forces guys fighting some spooky psychic kid gone bad.

What should I expect? Should I pull the trigger Sup Forums?

Can you get it without the third game?

it's cheaper on bundlestars than Fear 1 by itself where i live, so no. i've heard bad things about 3 so i might just peddle the key for that on g2a or something

Can you get it without the third and second games?

>he doesn't know Sup Forums has a huge boner for FEAR
Only #1 and its expansions are worth your trouble and money though.

The most depressing regression a franchise has ever gone through.

>What should I expect?

1 is awesome
2 is cowadoody shit but it has some decent mech sections
3 is just fucking trash

>that webm
alright, that slow mo psychic operator shit sold me on it.

just play the first one, it's definitely one of the best shooters out there, with great horror parts as well

Shotty + dualies best combo

I like the whole series a lot. FEAR 2 is really good, gets a bad rap because it's different. 3 is still worth a single playthrough

I've tried this in ever fps I've ever played since FEAR.

Disappointed.
Every.
Time.

ITS POINT MAN

WHACK 'IM

NO WAY

HE'S TOO FAST

it also has better graphics than many 2010s games.

It's less paranormal (though there's still a lot of it) and more combat-focused. Thankfully the combat is fucking FANTASTIC.

I don't see that for sale on steam? I was hoping to get it too.

...

Try Dishonored

you'd like Painkiller, then.

>I don't see that for sale on steam?

its not steam you tremendous doofus

it's on bundlestars, they're basically the walmart bargain bin of PC gaming. lots of filler, and the occasional diamond in the rough

ohp at first glance the grey looked like steam.

>S'up Dude (Sup Forums)

>playing fear
>using guns

fucking casual scum
murder everyone with bicycle kicks and slide attacks

fear 2 is good but for some reason the screen wouldnt stop spinning when I tried playing the pc version on steam

It's fucked that 3 has inferior graphics to 1.

Welp I just made the order, thanks guys. Seems like a pretty badass game to keep me occupied for the week.

I did too lol

Dishonored? Really? I missed that entirely, then... man fuck pacifest route.

I'll put that one on the backlog then; thanks user.

1st one was the only PC exclusive (at the time) title in the series.

>Dynamic Light
>Working Reflections that actually show you
>Visible Legs

Why can a game that old do something modern AAAAAAAA+ Titles can't?

>F.E.A.R. bundle for $5
That's a steal. It'd still be worth it even if it was only the first game.

-Lazy fucks
-consoles.

also, you forgot 3D, parallax-mapped bullet holes, and one of the best enemy AI in history.

>parallax-mapped bullet holes
What's that?

>reflex mode is ok when generic fps does it

Probably going to play this for my free 7 days of PS Now.
Any other games worth playing?

I got to the part where you find the blonde chick in her office and have to escort her. But now she won't follow me no matter what I do. What the fuck do I do? I don't wanna restart or any of that shit.

>fear
>generic fps
You better shut your whore mouth

Does that come with the FEAR 1 expansions?

Extraction Point is definitely worth playing. Perseus Mandate is alright.

GOT-tier destruction in walls, pillars, floor, etc

The ps3 version was garbage

>What's that?
jesus christ people, you can't be THAT casual consolitis in 2016!

See those bullet holes in this pic (on high settings)? That 3D effect, which is also visible in , is done via Parallax Mapping, the more modern, advanced version of Normal Mapping.

the console ports sucked major ass. avoid

Fear 3 is actually a good game and its only problem is a shitty last boss fight

Discuss

...

You are wrong.

*tips energydome*

1 > 3 > 2

Get some taste

why is fear 3 so awful ?

Generic.
Modern.
Console.
Shooter.

Despite what FEARtards might tell you, FEAR 2 isn't a classic. It's actually pretty fucking terrible

FEAR 3 tells the most coherent story of the bunch and introduces a lot of cool abilities and the psychic character you can play is majorly fun.

>Despite what FEARtards might tell you, FEAR 2 isn't a classic.
Who the hell has ever even implied of such shit??

Fear 2 is bad.
F3ar is fucking awful.

Different dev.

FEAR 3 is definitely not fucking awful. It was actually a breath of fresh air compared to FEAR 2

It's popcorn game design that can be enjoyed with a friend. I've actually played it more than FEAR 1 because of how straight forward the action is.

...

No. It is nothing BUT fucking awful. A generic console-oriented linear CoD-style FPS with RPG mechanisms and a total ass-pull plot.

Just play 1 and Extraction Point. You'll be in for the best fucking shooter you've ever played.

>what should I expect?
FEAR
*god-tier particle & dust effects strangely missing from most modern games
*great story
*dated, generic FPS elements
*dude, ragdoll is the future of shooters
*mechs
FEAR 2
*better everything, except for particle effects
Despite the obvious cons, I replay both every other year or so.

You ever seen that Duty Calls parody? Where the game just gives you silly new ranks every 10 seconds? FEAR 3 is what would happen if they took it seriously.

>FEAR 2
>*better everything, except for particle effects
pick one. Shit's so dumbed down and consolized already, it's not even funny.

>forced 16:9 aspect ratio
>can't bind M4 and up to anything
>no lean
>no dual-wielding
>worse lighting
>worse AI
>worse maps

>forced 16:9 aspect ratio
Where's the problem?

Basically :

Fear 1 = Extraction point >>> everything else. I personally put Perseus Mandate on the same level as 2. It just wasn't doing it for me, knowing what came before.

Fear 2 isn't bad though, just waaaaaaay below its predecessor. Reborn's below average.

Fear 3 (F3AR XD) is a disgrace. Just a stain upon shooters, horror-themed games, multiplayer games, co-op games, everything it's come into contact with. Just don't.

...

>no duel wielding
C'mon man
You are right though, I just didn't want to scare him off of one of my go-to games.

the fact that not everyone plays in 16:9, and they gotta deal with shitty black bars ??

Because these guys knew their priorities and knew how to achieve them. They used practical fucking thought. Much more valuable than the bland elemental hodgepodge in today's Uncharted clones and Bioshock Infinite.

fear 1 is a tech demo FPS but fucking amazing. I was able to get it to look pretty damn good.

2 and 3 is more like modern shooters and it shows. Id get it.

This.

>mfw he's not even using reflex

What's your favorite shooter?

>good graphics = tech demo
>generic consolitis shit = "real vidya".
implying implications

Pretty much this. I liked FEAR2 more than sensible but it's definitely a series of downward trajectory

No, launch titles are tech demos. Fucking Order 1886 was a tech demo. Stop comparing FEAR to shit like Order 1886.

FEAR is a decent trilogy with the core gameplay not much different from one game to another.

Graphics and horror elements are another story. Not to mention the level design. It made no sense in FEAR1, but it allowed great gameplay.

How can one comment generate so much pic related?

>with the core gameplay not much different from one game to another.

Well if the core gameplay is point'n'clickin'n'shootin'dudes it didn't change, true. Everything else did though.

Buy it, you won't regret it
