FEAR 2 Demo is out.
http://www.gamershell.com/download_38288.shtml or on Steam.
I just got done playing it. I've only played the FEAR 1 demo, but this seemed really fun. The only gripe I have is with the health system; there's too much of an emphasis on armor in this game. If you run out of armor, it only takes about three or so hits to kill you in Normal mode. One of the standard grunts managed to take off about 1/2 of my HP with one shot, which I thought was ridiculous. The mech portion wasn't as bad as I expected. The missiles do major damage to the weaker mechs you see and makes them vulnerable to bullets, which I thought was a neat mechanic. I think the standard grunts can actually do damage to your mech, which is a nice deviation from the usual "The only thing that can hurt you is big explosions" you usually see in mech portions of games. Hopefully the mech portions won't be too long, ala the ones in Quake 4. The scary portions weren't that scary. I would've liked it if each "scary" section didn't end after you passed an invisible line. The first "scary" moment in the school was cool until you realized that all you needed to do was keep going forward and occasionally shoot a ghost that pops up. There was no need to stay behind and fight back, since the ghosts did very little damage. I liked the PDA. I'm a sucker for background story, and reading up on your weapons and the occasional log file was interesting. Hopefully they'll expand on this in the final version. |

eh, i think im alright with the health. Ive been playing it on hard and its about 2 hits to die but thats the way ive always liked it. Its always had a emphasis on health, and as you said that was on normal so i would say give easy a try then. Its better than when the had regen health in it for the two months or so and changed it back
anyways, it played great. It will definitely be a purchase for me |

I'll prob wait until the price goes down to around $30. My rule is that unless a FPS has stellar multiplayer, its usually not worth $50. |

Game've kinda degenerated from first part in terms of A.I. Sometimes bots stop shooting when I was near them, they forgot how to flank effieciently. Smells like console FPS...

yea, blame the consoles for having them rebuild the AI so it would be better than the first....oh wait....
the electric one shocks the mechs i think, so it gives you a bit of time to unload on them and whats added on the hud? Last edited by -=bingo-bango=-; 01-23-2009 at 08:29 PM. |

i totally agree. fear was awesome because it was made by a PC developer, nativley. now that they are being all console bullshit. it has console port written all over it, and i hate the glowing enemies and the LOL YOU CAN HEAL URSELF AND U CAN OPEN DIS DOOR BY PRESSING E, OK LOL over and over again. we dont need tips, we dont need glowing enemies either.
it seems the AI isnt as good either. they dont take cdover or flank nearly as much. they seem to be like combine AI. Ill get it, but it doesnt have the same "feel" as FEAR 1. It's hard to explain |
