(Slight spoiler for FEAR)

F.E.A.R. is the game with the best story every, awesome controls and guns, and can still manage to scare you with the always first person view. I loved this game so much.
BUT......
FEAR 2 is coming out soon.......
Has anyone played the demo? Moreover, has anyone seen the guy that helped make the game talk about what the game was about? It was on spike awile ago and he talked about the game, and the guy.

It's not the same guy.

WTF? Wasn't that half the point of the first one?
Okay look, theres a guy, Fettel, that was the SECOND prototype, controlling soldiers (which in FEAR 2 they call clones or some stupid name), and you are trying to stop him, all the while learning things about Alma. You were sent as a FEAR agent, and in the beginning they mention that your Reflexes were Off the charts, and that is the explination of the slow motion.
What is the explanation for the NEW GUY having slow motion, hmmmmm???
Anyways, heres the spoiler, At the end of the first game you hear that YOU, the guy, are the first prototype. I think. It might be Alma. I dunno, it's been awile since i played the first game. I mean, YOU were connected to the whole project (i think if the prototype thing is valid) So why did they take him out :(
OH, and they are making it a lot more supernatural and crap, you know, with the red desert and swingset?
Oh god, they are doing what they did in Condemned 2 D:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I hated condemned 2 because of that by the way.


BUT FIRST, this might make my entire opinion NULL.
I have not yet played, Perseus Mandate.
I know, right? Ive played Extraction point, and it was still the guy, even at the end he was still alive. So please, WITHOUT RUINING PERSEUS MANDATE FOR ME, is my opinion offset because of this?
Don't get me wrong, i will still love Fear 2, its just im kind of scared they might jack up the story :(

Also take into account: All of this may not be 100% true, so don't think everything i said was true. Like the prototype thing, i remember that at the end and that is what i thought. I do not know the game to the full extent, nor do i know of the newcoming game, so of course i could be wrong about everything.
Ah well, until Fear 2 comes out ^_^

You're very easily entertained, aren't you?

I like video games, if that's what you mean.

Yes, crap ones.

And why is that?

Because F.E.A.R is dreadful. It's a series of repetitive corridors with occasional repetitive combat sequences. The scary bits would have been scary, were it not for the fact the main character is a highly trained super soldier with the ability to alter the flow of time itself. Why the hell should I be scared of an eight year old when I can do that?

That's another thing, spooky little girls have been done to death (hur hur). The Japanese beat you to it and they did it better.

The scary and the shooting aren't integrated together very well either, it's like getting two entirely different games and switching between them every half an hour or so.

And that's why F.E.A.R is dreadful.

Hey, I got through an entire post without swearing once! Fucking awes- ah damn.

At least I didn't recycle any jo- wait. . . shit.

The fact of the matter is, everything has been done to death. Everything GOOD that is. If you want something new and different, it's probably gonna be a crappy game. (I.E. Gears of War) Fear was an awesome game, AND IT DOES scare you.
You know, you could really NOT get scared if you thought, "HEY, i'm just playing a video game. None of this is real and can never be real" That kind of beats the whole little girl super soldier thing.

On an unrelated note but same page, i just got fear 2 :D
It's pretty cool so far.
The slow mo thing is explained enough, and it cuts some of what i said out, so yeah....
Anyways, there are much worse games than Fear. It has an awesome story mode, even though you kind of, i dunno, are forced down one line of it. (Meaning you can't really change anything, and you are alone the whole time because for some reason you can't save anybody)
I like Fear. And yes while it is repetetive, most games are. There are the same soldiers and such, ALWAYS, but you learn to deal with it because the story is everchanging. And the atmosphere is creepy.
HOWEVER, they are going for the supernatural thing, and frankly I am pissed at that.

And It's still too fucking dark to see anything.

FEAR 2 follows on from FEAR 1, ignores the events of Perseus Mandate and Extraction Point.

But, isn't fear 2 BEFORE fear 1?
I mean, if anything you would have to rule out both Fear 1 if you are going to rule out at least extraction point, right?

I played the demo and it was fun. It looked better than the first one.

I only saw a bit of the actual game but I don't know what the story is.

The story is pretty good so far (My dad plays it too and for some stupid reason you can only play from a checkpoint or start a new game. THere are no saves and it is F*@#%&g retarded.)
So, since i can't really play it, ill just tell you,
The story is pretty good so far

I beat it awile ago, and i GUESS it was alright.
The ending was confuzing, and it had nothing to do with the first one, literally.
There ARE things in it that happen in Fear 1, and become a problem for the guy in Fear 2, but there is no ACTUAL connection (Correct me if i'm wrong). The fighting was pretty cool, better than one (mainly because my dad got the best graphics card for the game and it looked AWESOME, and was extremely smoooth)

Overall, a good game. Scared the hell out of me when Alma grabbed me each time, hehe. But the story kinda bugged me, because wanted it to be the other guy :(
Story sort of acted like Condemned 1 to condemned 2, but not to the extreme.
