What went wrong? This is the least talked about in the trilogy so it must've done something wrong.
>>721223440It moved away from the core focus into some buddy shooter bullshit and its just not very good. The times I played the co-op it was fun but not enough to justify it. Honestly just forgettable.
>>721223440It's a game from another studio, on a completely unrelated engine that was inferior to the original one. Co-op was the only selling point. It looks like shit, it plays meh, also they killed the protagonist of the second game.
>>721223440A victim of trend chasing COD/Halo.
>>721223440>If you're over 25 and own a computer, this game is a must have
>>721223440Is John Carpenter overrated? I have enjoyed his movies and music, even Ghosts of Mars.
>>721223440It's just not very frightening
>>721223440I enjoyed it well enough, but you can hardly call it a fear game.It's too far removed from the fear 1 formula.At least it wasn't as boring as fear 2.
>>721223440Nothing went wrong with THIS one. Everything fucking awful about it was already fucking awful in FEAR2.
>>721223440it's fucking hilarious
The first game is still mentioned for the great lighting and tactical AI.The second one was a downgrade, and is still brought up only for that one scene at the end.The third one is just kind of bad in a bland way. It's weird how every game in this series is a soft reboot.
>>721224802FEAR 2 not only kept the horror atmosphere but maximized it. Scariest FEAR by a long shot. FEAR 3 almost totally abandoned the horror aspect.l
>>721225856Yeah, you're kind of asking for a lot when you're making a horror game with a super-soldier who can slow down time as a protaganist. When you then add co-op with a buddy on top of that it's just not going to happen.
>>721225856FEAR2 is a light hearted zany “horror” comedy. Thats like saying Army of Darkness is a horror movie that “maximized the horror” or whatever. Somber music after a man getting raped doesn’t make something sad.
it was an honest sequel to fear 2. monolith screwed up by making fear 2
>>721226364FEAR isnt a horror game. The first one is a little girl jump scaring u every now and then. People feared the AI a lot more.
It's kind of a mess. There's no atmosphere, you just run around with your evil ghost brother blasting marines and then the game ends. FEAR should've been an anthology. Hyperfocusing it on Alma was a fatal mistake. I think there's a chance it could still be around today if it hadn't done this
>>721223440I replayed it last year and dropped after first couple of levels. Everything is awful about it. Gameplay, stylization, story, characters.
>>721226364Nah it's horror that takes itself seriously. The school level with the ghosts was terrifying.
>>721226364>FEAR2 is a light hearted zany “horror” comedyWhat the fuck? Are you getting that entirely from Snakefist or what? You retard.
One of the strengths of FEAR 2 was moving away from Point Man and Fettel in favor of the new Delta Squad, because the reveal at the end of FEAR 1 retroactively mitigates all the scary moments. FEAR 2 remains scary on subsequent playthroughs. Returning to Point Man and Fettel was a mistake.
>>721223440I stopped playing at the part where you're shooting zombies in a Walmart warehouse. Fear 2 was a masterpiece in comparison
FIRSTPERSONCOVERBUTTON
>>721223440Towards the end of 7th gen games were being shipped as multiplats with more mass appeal, more mandated trend chasing, more marketing, more streamlined controller focus and less developer budget for both time and money.
>>721223440It was just a pure action game with a women's pregnant screams in the background constantly. Fun, but not noteworthy. I like a lot of it, particularly that bridge crossing level.
>OH SHIT
>>721223440This was years of EAs bullshit sloprun>FEAR 3 is fucking ass ass triple ass>Dead Space 3 is assPc games with textures from 2004 deserve the chair.
>>721224436It's practically the exact same image.
>>721223440Lacked the casual sex of fear 2.
my judgement is clouded by nostalgia but I have fond memories of the one playthrough I did with my buddy. I just miss couch co-op.
Made it into a low quality co-op game with bad cutscenes
>>721224586Neither was 1, didn't stop it from being excellent. The combat was extremely addictive somehow.
