disolitude said: I may get blasted by everyone here but I didn't like this game at all. Atmosphere story visuals audio...all great.
Gunplay sucked tho and I play FPS games to get some nice gun dogfights.
People should play it however as I am clearly in the minority here... |
How can a man who is obviously reasonable (I found Bioshock extremely boring) enjoy F.E.A.R? You are an enigma disolitude!

Its cause FEAR gun fights are awesome...not just some crazy old lady running at you with a wrench.
You may have played FEAR on the easy difficulty if you didn't enjoy the fights...but on hard that game is very challenging.
The fights in FEAR usually constitute of you entering a room with bad guys spread out all over...using the slow-mo to see where the bad guys are...turning off the slow mo and firing at them with everything you got, trying to duck as much as possible...and the using slow mo again when your health is low to kill whatever you can. If you do it right you will have just enough slow-mo juice to finish the fight. And with the smart AI in FEAR, this is quite a challenge as enemies will go and flank you as well as throw grenades when you're in corners.
Strategy like that is completely absent from games like doom 3, quake 4, bioshock...
