Anyone Played FEAR 2 For PC?

[angilina]

Before I could buy the game, I waited for FEAR 2 reviews. I was disappointed to see a 7/10 rating at gamespot. FEAR was a excellent game and got excellent ratings: 9.1 at gamespot

Is FEAR 2 that bad to get 7/10?

Should I buy this game?

Ok I just finished it yesterday.

It is awfull. All it is, is just fear1 with better graphics, thats it. Personally Im sorry I paid 50 bucks for it brand new, I should have waited 6 months and gotten it for 5 bucks off ebay or something.

You still run around in office buildings, sewer/basement type stuff and underground complexs that are all very boring and generic looking just like you did in the first game. And they used the same textures over and over and over again for the backgrounds making it visually boring and repetitive. I must have seem the exact same desk, lamp, chair, computer, fax machine, coffee cup, carpet and radio 1000 times or more.

Far as combat 98% of the game is fighting the exact same replicants from the first game allover again. They even brought back the riot armor type guys using the exact same gun (the railroad spike big gun thing) that take more damage than most guys, the guys who turn semi-invisible and run up the walls and the minature mech type things. They may look better but they are the same bad guys from the first game with better graphics.

Same funhouse scare tactics where the lights flicker, you see something run by, you see a person then they vanish, static on your headset, stuff jumps out of nowhere and other triggered events like that. It didnt ever like the first actually seem or have a creepy atmosphere.

And the ending for this one was actually worse than the last one. It made absolutely no sense at all to me, didnt explain one thing that happened in the game and it was literally about 13 seconds long and then the credits roll. This is the thing that really just ruined it the most. No dialouge, dont know what happpened, dont know why it happened and in the end the people who made the game obviously dont either.

7/10 isn't a bad score and the ending made sense if you were paying attention (although it was short).

I did pay attention and if you had paid attention and read all the intel points you would have seen where they just disregarded what happened in part one, even considering that it still didnt make sense at all. It was a mindless cop-out ending just like part one where they put 0 thought into it in order to leave room to make another one in standard hollywoodized fashion.

In part 1 she had two male children and thats it. Suddenly in part 2 intel notes say she has a daughter also just out of the blue. And the only female you see in the whole game is her as a child on the swing at the compound she was held to as noted in the intel notes you find. Even as you find the note of it saying she was impregnated at age 12 you then get a scene of soldiers dragging her away from the swing to well, get prego with her 1st male in part and then a year later her 2nd son (the 2 main characters in part 1) So no, the ending doesnt make sense at all because they just started making shit up as they went. It was just like part 1 where you stop everything and she just pops up again and it ends in less than 20 seconds.

That was definitely an "interesting" final battle!:biggrin:
