Yay! I still gotta beat the first one, but I'll probably buy this the day it comes out even if I haven't beat the first part yet. :lol:

This is exciting, however it's another company that's making it -- not the original producer. So i hold my breath.... kinda...

the storyline idea has a lot of potential

I couldn't wait either - if I had a ATi X1900XT :wink:

Who knows, I might have something different by the time this is released... ;)

I just finished playing through about half an hour ago. That's an intense ending section. Plus the widescreen solution from this site worked beautifully.

hello

does it runs into 1680 x 1050 ?
is it possible to patch fear as this?

Post by **Paradigm Shifter** » 13 Jun 2006, 21:39

Until it's released, we have no idea.

Conversation about playing FEAR in this thread was about the original - not the expansion.

Am I the only one that thinks this game is the worst ever?

Eye candy? great. Game play? Boring :!: :!: :!:

Hm...

On replay, I can see where you're coming from. I mean, the first time, I was 'Wow! Graphics!' and 'Wow! That dude just dived through a window to avoid a grenade! And it wasn't scripted!' (I know because I had to play that room five times to not die... and he only did it once...)

But, honestly, I'm finding the whole thing only marginally better than Doom 3 now. At least I was interested for the whole game, though - Doom 3 bored me to tears about twenty minutes in...

I agree, i don't see the added value of a expansion disk.
I guess it's all gonna be the same. :(

True -- no need to expand the game... it was already on the knife's edge of repetition. However i'm hoping the expansion will improve multiplayer a bit. That would be nice. :D

Post by **Paradigm Shifter** » 14 Jun 2006, 14:18

I wouldn't mind some more storyline, if the gameplay was a little less repetitive...

neoWidescreen · Post by **neoWidescreen** » 15 Jun 2006, 09:35

actually, what was i thinking in my last post... i would prefer more gore and violence. :P

I don't know. I loved every second of the game. I was on edge the whole time and even though the lack of different enemy characters in the game was obvious, the way they strategized, moved and communicated gave me such a great time. The slow-mo is beautiful and listening to all of the bullets DINKING off everyone's heads is too much fun. Not to mention that the soundtrack was simply stunning. That and the added sound effects and ambient noises... almost too much for my senses. A great package this game is. So, I say BRING ON THE EXPANSION. I want more. :D

I liked the story quite a bit, especially the weird stuff that would flash in with voiceovers here and there, and finding things out via the computers. But I found in the ending part that I seemed to have missed out on some sort of crucial information as I was just learning about Alma a bit and the next thing I knew the game was in the ending part.

As for gameplay, I loved the AI and how they use the environment so well, but I hated how many shots it took to kill enemies. It's one thing to have great AI, but when you're constantly running out of ammo because it takes multiple headshots to take enemies down, it sucks the fun out of things.
