He hasn't done a no slomo run on extreme yet

>he hasn't done a no slomo run on extreme yet

It wasn't challenging at all, really.

Contrary to their radio chatter, the Replica soldiers just take cover and wait for you to show yourself while occasionally throwing grenades.. They very rarely rush to you.

I don't get all the hype about this game
The story is cliched as fuck, especially for this time when silent hill and resident evil were still a thing, hallucinations are all "DUDE SKELLINGTON SCREAMERS LMAO", the gunplay is legit one of the worst I have ever played, shitty sound design pea shooter guns
Fuck this game

kys

>shitty sound design
>pea shooter gonna

shit nigga you wanna lie go ahead and lie but unless you forgot to plug in your subwoofer you're just plain wrong even the pistol sounds like a cannon and blows holes in walls

>he hasn't done a no fun run on extreme yet
FTFY

>hallucinations are all "DUDE SKELLINGTON SCREAMERS LMAO"

100% correct

>the gunplay is legit one of the worst I have ever played, shitty sound design pea shooter guns

100% incorrect

I started this week to play Fear 1 and the timesgate sequels.

However I see people saying that FEAR 2 and 3 are bad. Why?

Low quality bait

Nothing fun about "click to win" button

I don't wanna

The AI gets progressively worse, worse atmosphere, less satisfying guns and lots of cinematics. 2 is still perfectly enjoyable - just not as good as the first and its expansions. 3 is pretty bad.

you're not wrong, many didnt like this trash at release even

Fear 2 was pretty great.
Fear 3 is fucking shit.

>he hasn't played an unarmed run yet

>the gunplay is legit one of the worst I have ever played, shitty sound design pea shooter guns
(you)
they were made for consoles instead of PC. it sounds like a meme answer but play them and you'll see exactly what i mean.

thinking of doing this, how much will i get my shit packed in on extreme?

That sounds, not fun.

...

2 and 3 play nothing like the original.
Fear 2 is a weird mix of Fear and Call of Duty.
All weapons are really weak and they don't have a feel to them.
It's the worst game in the franchise.

And F3AR is basically a COD game with monsters.
And it's pretty fun. It's not as bad as everyone make it out to be.
Just don't expect a fear game.

it would have to be unarmed with grenades since there are armored guys invincible to punching

...

best way to play the game lads

slow mo increased the physics and generally makes the game more fun. the challenge run sounds alright and all but if youre looking for challenge just do the perseus mandate extra missions.

What are these supposed to show besides the terrible AI?

...

To trigger people with shit taste
It worked

they're supposed to show fun user. I'm having fun. why arent you? the AI was revolutionary in the most literal sense. perhaps not realistic but very deliberately designed for its purpose.

...

So do you guys like FEAR or Extraction point better and why?

>terrible AI
epic dude, everyone with half a brain knows it's a lot of smoke and mirrors, you're not impressing anyone saying "it's not that good ;>)"

Second expansion was the best game in the whole franchise

I super disagree here. Fear 3 was unbearable. 2 had one good part, and actual level design. 3 had terrible level design, 0 AI, and annoying gunplay/enemy types/waves of cover shooting COD style

lol at everyone taking b8 so obvious. Sup Forums is such a dumbass Smh

by second expansion do you mean Perseus Mandate? I thought the boss enemies were honestly terrible, and it made no sense to me why your character could use slow mo when he wasn't pointman

>Are you saying I can dodge bullets?
>No, I'm saying when you're ready you wont have to

...

i liked the horror moments in EP and the fact that it didn't drag at all

i think perseus mandate is great even though it gets shit on hard, i like it because of huge weapon pool + nightcrawlers, and the whole underground segment it GOAT

the main game is arguably the best though

shhh regardless of your actual opinion, just say you like it on Sup Forums ok? That's what I do anyway.

ALL ME

I think the main game is the best but there are some things I liked about the others as well, I just think they were filled with more annoying flaws.

obviously the guy dumping images is one guy, he doesn't have time to post all of those as well.

Heres my FPS comparisons folder showing what FEAR does better than popular FPS

...

That's what I'm saying.
You're expecting the third game not to feel like Call of Duty.
Once you accept it, you're gonna have fun with it.

I actually thought Fear2 was a massive improvement over the original, until I started shooting.
It takes 2 shots point blank with shotgun to kill someone.

Yeah, I agree, an area with ninja cunts is really annoying, but I liked how more action orientated the game is.
The first expansion was forcing jump scares and it really dragged.

the crysis gifs are positive too, honestly I'm just shitting on BI because thats my favorite hobby.

that doesnt work if you fucking hate call of duty. it suffers from the same tactile problems im showcasing here.

>FEAR got released a whole year after halo 2
Let that sink in

F.E.A.R is a garbage game. Worst gunplay of any game I ever played

Who fucking cares?

If you think F3AR is better than FEAR 2 you're a fucking retard. Go fuck yourself and fuck off. Also shut the fuck up and don't make your moronic opinion known ever again please.

We'll never see another Crysis game, will we?

Shame about Crytek.

I also really prefer the F1 aesthetic among other things. All the things they take from call of duty are things i dont like about it. "accepting" is the same as ignoring.

They don't rush, but they move from cover to cover, which is when you catch them and kill them easily.

I think people who think a no-slo-mo run would be hard don't use lean enough. Lean is OP in most FPS that have it.

A no-slo-mo extreme run of vanilla FEAR is boring and actually made me like the game a lot less. A no-slo-mo extreme run of Perseus Mandate, though... I don't think I could defeat the end boss without slo-mo, and I'd probably give up way earlier.

who cares about what? the flaws and drawbacks of fear 3? anyone who is trying to be critical of it I'd say.

>the AI was revolutionary
First Far Cry has better AI, but it's more prone to glitching the fuck out.

the Ai was one of a kind. It wasn't particularly difficult to learn but no AI is, especially in shooters. The fact of the matter is they made things more interesting
Better in what way? There are certain techniques that the developers literally invented for FEAR, so in that way it was revolutionary. I never said it was the best of all ttime in all aspects, just that it did thigns no other game did before. .

similarly FEAR AI feels more real, which is always nice in a game thats supposed to immerse.

Only FEAR2's expansion and FEAR3 ever had parts where you were absolutely forced to use slo-mo to win. All of FEAR1's games were possible at normal speed.

It really teaches you that half of the game's difficulty comes from enemies being bullet sponges who take a lot of fire before they can be stunned. Bullet time doesn't slow your weapons as much as the world, so technically the game is balanced around the higher player DPS in that mode.

...

they fine tune the balance better in later expansions but the armor aspect never quite goes away.

I really don't remember my energy neither lasting this long nor recharging this fast.

...

>A no-slo-mo extreme run of vanilla FEAR is boring and actually made me like the game a lot less
fucking how? it's easily the most exciting way to play. you know what's actually boring? using slow mo and sidestepping every bullet while spamming the penetrator across the room. yes it's flashy and cool for a while but it becomes stale.

There are 4 fps games with legs.
Nobody fucking cares about it except a bunch of autist on Sup Forums.

Fear 2 has worse ai, gunplay and weapons.
It's a shit game. Just deal with it.

maybe its an upgrade? I actually never finished Crysis 1

I was never arguing that FEAR 2 was good, I think it's shit as well, just that it didn't make me want to kill myself the way F3 does.

I could see it being exciting, but I do think a lot of the appeal of the game lies in the slow motion, especial with shotgun. one of my fave shotguns in games ez

you're full of shit

>Bioshock Infinite
>popular FPS
Low-hanging fruit, really.

Are those low settings? I don't care about character person too much, but the lack of shadows under those chairs looks super weird. They could've at least baked some static ones in.

FC AI is more aggressive and has those stealth-ish elements where when it doesn't see you it will go to the last location where it heard a sound or saw you. They also actually work in squads, as in if a squad notices you in the forest two members will flank right and two will flank left, and they'll try to encircle your position.

They're GLITCHY AS FUCK, though. FEAR AI is more predictable, but more robust. The compromises you make, I guess.

Their callouts are well made and are at least half of what makes them work.

I honestly never minded "bbullet sponges" unless they're spongy to a ridiculous degree.

...

Well theres a reason FEAR AI tends to only be in tight corridors. they aren't designed for open worlds, which is honestly much harder to program.

similarly a lot of these sins are in other FPS besides bioshock infinite, it's just the easiest one to find them all.

Because it forced me to play safer and FEAR is a pretty boring and easy game if you play it safe. AI will move from cover to cover, and AI accuracy is bad if they fire on the move, so you catch them in that state and it's a free kill.

Slo-mo is boring if you play the game like you do without and just use it to enhance your accuracy. Slo-mo is fun if you use it to jump at dudes and kick the shit out of them, jump in with a shotgun etc.

...

I generally agree. I think challenge runs are fun and all, but FEAR is best played with wild abandon. Perseus mandate challenge maps are really great for difficulty though.

>introduce massive amounts of artificial bass to the sound

Am I replying to bait?

No, what it does it reveals all the weaknesses of the game and makes shitters realize that they were enjoying playing in cheat mode in a game built around cheat mode. It makes them realize that they have been playing in a suboptimal way the entire time and that they only found success because the game gives them a ridiculous handholding power. However, the gulf between having slomo and not having it is huge and makes the game a serious drag to play at higher difficulties and in the plain more-difficult expansions, especially Perseus Mandate.

The regular AI only poses a threat because of the slomo power encouraging the common player to play like an idiot. Once you play the game like any modern shooter you realize how goddamn dumb and weak the AI is, now only held up by their enormous health pools. The style of gameplay you have to adopt to survive works and is fun in COD because common enemies go down in a few hits and will flinch if you hit them first, but in FEAR they will ignore a considerable amount of your fire and chew through your health even when you started filling their head with bullets first.

Binding the medkit button to a convenient key the first thing you do before a no-slomo run of FEAR1.

You're still wrong, whoever you are

yes i have

I'm confused are you saying COD is better than FEAR?

Pretty sure it's modded.

>now only held up by their enormous health pools
That's a gross exaggeration.
>CoD comparison
Doesn't really make sense, now I don't mind Call of Duty actually, but its combat is built of a different concept, or was at least, I haven't played newer ones. Call of Duty is harder than FEAR, though.

no idea. either way

The main game is definitely not a drag without slomo. Perseus yes because timegate designed enemies that literally cheat back at you

I am not sure what you're trying to say here. Why is it being a "cheat mode" a bad thing if that mode is inherently fun?

>enourmous health pools
wow

That's kino as fuck. Love FEAR 1.

Literally muh dick.

physics is inherently fun. wish the speed run was just a bit better but it has some nice tricks.

Heres footage of me trying an unarmed run

why would you hit your mom you faget

>mom is a 4 y/o girl
hot

Kys

she looks underage but she's actually older so it's okay

That's the opposite of what I wanted

an old lady with the mind of a child?
