Nothing else quite like it. I'm still mad about how 3 turned out though.

I really liked the first one. How was number 2? And I hear just bad things about 3.

2 was solid. 3 was only playable for me because I wanted the conclusion to the trilogy, and what an awful conclusion it was.

I liked the third one better than the second tbh

At least the third had guns with some punch to them, and you can play as Fettel which is pretty cool. 2 also made your slomo basically pointless since enemies react to your presence instantly anyway

The second is pretty bad, 3 is decent

are the ai really that smart or it's just level design and a few script giving the illusion of increased intelligence?

Eh, I found FEAR to be abysmally boring. Office hallway shooter with 2 enemy variants, and a thin, mostly non-existent story.

The AI was massively over hyped, and was basically a marketing gimmick.

I was really impressed by the AI.
I also never finished it though since I got freaked out by the ammo conservation aspect towards the end... I felt like I was going to run out and just be screwed.

There is an ammo trick where, if you already have the type of weapon you want ammo for, you drop yours, pick up the enemy's weapon, then pick up your original. You end up getting a fully loaded weapon this way plus the ammo from your original. Thus usually gives you 3-5x as much ammo per pickup. It's incredibly helpful with that purple disrupter weapon you get near the end, since you can easily max out its ammo and use it very liberally.

I played the game for the first time a few years ago. I remember the first game being really fun, but it seemed like it was too long and kept dragging on.

What? FEAR is as story-heavy as is tolerable in an action game

And it has THREE enemy variants, thank you very fucking much

So good. The A.I was so good. They would try to flank and would call out what you were hiding behind. And yes...that shotgun but also the amazing laser gun in F.E.A.R. Files

Second one is good although the shotgun stinks in it.

Third one was basically Modern Warfare 2 with horror slapped on it. Not surprising since Day 1 Studios is a terrible company.

most pc fps games have become trash since they are catering to console people too.

lowering player limit count, lowering details, performance,
and often they are making games too simplistic. less options for configs, and so on.

It's AI is still unmatched, and that game came out in 2005.

Wasn't too fond of 2, and 3 was... yeah...

Just to clarify and I'm pretty sure I'm right, but Fear 1 is the game where you climb a ladder and that little Alma girl is waiting at the top, right? that shit scared the fuck out of me when if first played it.

Yeah, but she mainly uses the child form.

Man, now I am wanting to replay this game now.

It was a great game but the AI was way overrated. If all an AI needs to do to be intelligent is flank and throw grenades, then every video game since 2007 has had 'intelligent AI'.

I was impressed with how well the level design and atmosphere was when it was basically all took place in an office

Loved it, but its one of those games I don't want to go back to. I feel like it would kind of ruin it for me
