Game Forum / PC Games / Action Games / December 2005Is FEAR supposed to be scary ???
Its not scary to me. Dull yes, scary no !!! I think iam nearly finished now. Amd iam just using GOD mode most of the time when something even moderatly hardish comes up. I just cant be bothered trying to beat i. It all looks the same. the plot is just the same with different people all though the game :( All the battles are the same. The graphics and locations are the same. Dont hate it. But its a bore. And i can realy say if i did not finish it i would not care. I vote this game as the worst game of 2005. Just becuase its so boring. Not bad but boring is bad right ? Oh well. > Its not scary to me. Dull yes, scary no !!! The last levels are indeed scary. But heh, you need to get there.  Signature- Mickmils Journalisme total http://mickmils2.free.fr > I vote this game as the worst game of 2005. Just becuase its so > boring. Not bad but boring is bad right ?

Apart from HL2 I felt the same as you do about both Doom3 and Quake4. Next year I'm going to be very selective about what games I do buy because I'm sick of wasting my money on crap games. I demand a refund! -- Rosebud... >>Its not scary to me. Dull yes, scary no !!! >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > -- > Rosebud... Bleh. I often find myself wondering why some people bother "gaming" at all. Bleeding-edge graphics in some games are dismissed as "sucky graphics". Great stories in some games are dismissed with "sucky story" comments. Frighteningly competent AI in some games is dismissed by saying "sucky AI". Clearly these folks are never going to be happy with any product they buy. It's too bad for them, too, since most of the time it's their own fault they're missing out: Are they merely inclined to find fault with absolutely any game they play? Are they simply not equipped with a knowledge-base which allows them to realize you can't play today's A-list games on yesterday's system, and still have the experience the developer intended? Do most of these amateur critics (the sort of mamalukes who go to EBGames.com and Amazon.com and write reviews for games that haven't been f-cking released yet: "This game look so kEwL it will totully rawk!!!!!!!!!!") even *know* the damn difference between a good or bad game effort, in the first place? Whatever. I for one, enjoyed FEAR, HL2, Doom 3, Deus Ex 2, Thief 3, etc., etc., and if you don't like it: lump it. > Whatever. I for one, enjoyed FEAR, HL2, Doom 3, Deus Ex 2, Thief 3, > etc., etc., and if you don't like it: lump it. Got FEAR today (present from the kids). So far I'm having a lot of fun. AI is excellent. Graphics are great. Not bored at all. If you like this type of game try Q4. Great fun. Knocking off from FEAR for an hour now for a few beers and I'll be trying AOEIII later.

That may be true - I'm not deep enough into it yet to comment. I wondered if, as you borrowed a copy, you'd got very deep into it. AOEII was/is a keeper on my PC, a game I can and do keep going back to. I'm hoping AOEIII is the same. There are lots of complaints in here about innovation - trouble is when someone does innovate (like maybe Darwinia or Rag Doll Kung Fu) lots of folk complain about that too. I have both those and innovation is great. Keeping what I love about certain games in a series is good too. >>Ah, you sound upset. I've played it. I own and have played the previous >>games too.

I'm not a game developer. Are you expected to come up with a better idea for a movie if you criticze one? It was a ridiculous question and wasn't worthy of a response. > >Actually I think it was a legitimate question.

It can take weeks/months to come up with a layout for a new and innovative game and to expect me to come up with one in a quick post is just plain stupid.

You're being intentionally difficult. Clearly, anyone who says, "lunch sucked", can follow that up, if they're not a "merry moron". It goes something like this (in case you've never actually experienced it firsthand): "Lunch sucked." "Why?" "It was too salty." or "It was cold." or "The bread was stale." or any other freaking *intelligent* detail you could think to offer up. But, "lunch sucked." "Why?" "HOW THE f.ck AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW? I'M NOT A GODDAMN CHEF YOU FRIGGIN' POOPYHEAD! IT TAKES FIFTEEN MINUTES TO PREPARE LUNCH, AND YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST COME UP WITH A REASON WHY I THINK IT SUCKED IN ONE QUICK SENTENCE??!! f.ck OFF!!" is just psychotic.

It was a ridiculous question and wasn't worthy of a response. Always been taught to give a solution NOT a problem. I've always passed that on when training others. Works well in our business. Otherwise folk just sound like they're whinging. Anyway - read the thread again. You said you were expecting more. You were asked what you were expecting. You was not being asked for innovation. Surely you must have some idea what you were expecting? >Always been taught to give a solution NOT a problem. I've always passed >that on when training others. Works well in our business.

Yea, more than just run and gun. Something along the lines of Splinter Cell for example. Next game I'm looking forward to that is most likely more than the usual FPS is the next Hitman game. >>Always been taught to give a solution NOT a problem.

Next game I'm looking forward to that is most likely > more than the usual FPS is the next Hitman game. In the post I was replying to above we'd moved on to Age of Empires III ;-) However, coming back to FEAR I'm still plowing through it and still enjoying it. I like 'run and gun' if it's done well - sometimes you dont get time to play games that need thought and strategy, you just wanna shoot something. FEAR does this pretty well. Game I'm still holding out hope for however is Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. If they ever sort the AI probs this game will be a hell of a breakthrough... >>>Another psuedo gaming intellectual? <yawn> >>> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > how to play? Why is it crap?

I'm a huge fan of the AOE games, but I've been disappointed by AOE 3 because they can't get the "attack-move" command to work! That's a very BASIC function in a RTS nowadays. They disabled it in the latest patch. You can re-enable it manually, but they say it is an unsupported feature (and it is quite flakey). They definitely spent too much time on the graphics if they can't get that to work yet... > I'll chime in on this one.

If you've borrowing pc games in a time of lower sales and lower profits is damaging for this market and consequently for us all if you want to try before buying always use the playable demo buy your own copy of the pc games you play and with this you are supporting this industry and investing in its future only buying the current available titles can you expect new quality titles to be released in the future >borrowing pc games in a time of lower sales and lower profits >is damaging for this market and consequently for us all [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >only buying the current available titles can you expect new >quality titles to be released in the future You never borrow a music cd or book from a friend? How about a DVD? Why are games any different? > You never borrow a music cd or book from a friend? How > about a DVD? Why are games any different? let me give you a fiction example so i can try and explain my point of view... suppose you have a friend that is crazy about the quake games and you know he already played the quake 4 demo and he obsoletely loved it but he still hasn't bought it. and suppose you bought quake4 for yourself and applied the latest official patch that removes copy protection, so now you don't need the cd/dvd inserted to be able to play and you tell your friend about it and how enjoyable has been playing quake4 your friend then asks you too lend your own copy of quake4 to him so he can install and play it in my opinion you shouldn't lend quake4 to your friend but instead ask him to buy his own copy and help him find the best possible deal this should be the best for you, for him and for us all why do i think you lending him would be wrong? 1. your friend likes quake4 and will play it for many hours so it is my believe your friend should give some financial reward for those people that worked hard in giving him so much entertaining gaming time 2. quake4 is one of the vary rare pc game titles released in 2005 with no copy protection and if we complain about all the disadvantages of copy protection we should at least protect the few titles that don't have it cause if quake4 has less sales cause it has no copy protection you bet no other publisher or pc game title will do the same 3. every time you are buying a pc game you are financing the creation of more future games, so buying quake4 is a way to make sure id will stay in business and do other great titles in the future 4. piracy is a very big problem in pc games so everything we can do to show developers and publishers we do respect their work and want to pay for our games is a positive sign saying we are here to help pc games being better 5. pc games have been declining in sales and profits due to piracy but also due to console competition and if we want to still have the pc as a important gaming platform we must make sure it stays profitable, cause if pc games are no longer profitable they simply don't have a future sorry for the long message but i only wanted to give you my opinion now you act the way you feel is right for you for me the most important is pc gamers having freedom to be able too choose what is best for them and sometimes the best for them is also the best for others it's in our own interest as pc gamers to protect pc games and protecting pc games is making sure the people that do work in creating pc games receive financial reward yes you can lend and borrow and i do believe you should have that freedom but i also believe pc gamers should be responsible and understand they have a role and a very important one, the role of protecting and financing the people that work hard to create pc games i want the freedom to be able to lend and borrow pc games but i choose to not use it cause at this moment in time pc games need us to lend and borrow less and buy more look at this very important difference, i do want to have the freedom to be able to lend and borrow but that does not mean i will use it always, and now and with quake4 for example i decided to not use it you fortunately also have that freedom and that choice so you choose what you feel is best but always remember now you have that choice, id gave you the power to choose and the freedom but think about the future and think about in the future this freedom no longer being available i'm totally against imposing models and forcing pc gamers into situations they don't like and that is way when a developer comes and gives me the freedom too choose like id is giving me i want to thank them back by protecting their games and, last but not least. 6.

I've seen the benchmarks, this game has a crap inefficient graphics engine. I wouldn't waste my money on it for that reason alone. -- Rosebud... >I think iam nearly finished now.

I thought F.E.A.R. was brilliant! There are a few freaky parts, but in the whole, it isn't a scarefest like Doom 3. It has things that catch you off guard, and that little girl scared the sh.t out of me on numerous occassions. >> Its not scary to me.

I'm fighting through a warehouse district - I'm not expecting the levels to vary greatly, warehouses are pretty much the same in real life too... >>> Its not scary to me.

It seemed to have the feeling of a combination of Deus Ex and Half-Life 2. A lot of fun, lots of action, and takes some thinking to make your way around at times. >>> Well it might be less "dull" if you don't use God mode, duh! Any game is >>> boring using God mode. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > A lot of fun, lots of action, and takes some thinking to make your way > around at times. Played a few levels last night after everyone else was in bed. Dark room, surround sound headphones. Jumped more than once :-) Currently though I'm really enjoying the AI. It's like playing the original HL when the marines seemed to act like real troops and scared the crap out of me. This is the first game that's had that effect since. Buggers flanking me put the willies up me for a while. I'll replay a few sections to see how much of that is scripted later - for now I'm suspending belief and enjoying it. (Don't know about Deus Ex, could never get into it - got totally bored in the training level - have it on the shelf so maybe when I have nothing else to play I'll give it the chance so many other folk tells me it deserves). >(Don't know about Deus Ex, could never get into it - got totally bored in >the training level - have it on the shelf so maybe when I have nothing else >to play I'll give it the chance so many other folk tells me it deserves). And you acused me of not playing AOEIII enough to make a valid criticism? What a hypocrite you are. -- Rosebud... >>(Don't know about Deus Ex, could never get into it - got totally bored in >>the training level - have it on the shelf so maybe when I have nothing [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > And you acused me of not playing AOEIII enough to make a valid > criticism? What a hypocrite you are. Hmm, read it again. You even quoted it. "Don't know enough about Deus Ex". I'm not in the habit of commenting on something I know nothing about. I leave that to others... >I thought F.E.A.R. was brilliant! There are a few freaky parts, but in the >whole, it isn't a scarefest like Doom 3.

You pussy! -- Rosebud... >Its not scary to me. Dull yes, scary no !!! > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >Oh well. See as soon as you turn on God mode in any game, it loses something. I resort to it occasionally due to lack of time, and I find my interest in a game waning after a while of doing so. I've put down some great games due to this phenomenon. To the point I regret it (HL2 Single player, Vampire bloodlines, and others... just couldnt go back to them after the ease of the cheat was right in front of me). Honestly I got stuck in FEAR too and put it down and picked up the Mutliplayer game. Multi eclipses the single player game. I havent picked up single play again in FEAR, but I hope to, without resorting to puss mode. To answer your question, yes I found FEAR somewhat spine tingling in certain parts, but I have the fastest video card you can buy, the third fastest CPU, and the second fastest sound card and I'm playing at 1280 with everything maxed and crystal smooth. It might lose something if I played with lesser hardware. When I read this newsgroup I am always amazed at the minions who talk about a single player game and disregard multi. But I guess you are the ones without broadband perhaps? Otherwise you would probably spend 99% of your time playing and 1% on usenet, as I did ever since getting broadband. Just a guess. |
