F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin Review

[Fabregasgunner4]

Dead space 2*

[Fabregasgunner4]

I love the fear franchise but your negatives where fair and warranted so I can't complain- have you reviewed dead space? I don't really know why I enjoy watching reviews of games I have completed and have my own opinions on- but your reviews are top notch

[S0nicH]

@Fabregasgunner4 - I've only reviewed the 1st Dead Space and I wasn't that impressed with it. I'm curious to see what DS2 is like, but I haven''t bought it yet.

It's nice to see a negative review. Something rare in the IGN/Gamespot/Game Informer reviews that people cite as reliable far too often.

[S0nicH]

@Brosuke - Cheers. I'm sure that sites like that only have a scale that goes from 6 to 10. No point in having a 10 point scale if they're not going to use it..

Come on, why the fuck do you have only 140 subs, go and spam some yt celebrity's page or something you really deserve more subs.

[S0nicH]

@2014DDay - Thanks! I have been wondering how to increase views/subs given all the positive feedback from everyone. Suggestions are welcome! :)

[TheoneandonlyPym]

@S0nicH I wouldn't reccomend spamming however, that can make you seem a bit low. I'd recommend making one or two more 'viral' videos (outside the usual review) that get a lot of views, encourage people to view your channel and hopefully subscribe. Also, your videos are of amazing quality, I'm sure the fame will come to you eventually if you keep up the high standards of your reviews :)

[S0nicH]

@TheoneandonlyPym - Thanks for the heads up and comments :D

[MustNotRead]

urgh, how rude of me. S0nich, this is another great review. I really like your considered and mature review style. Thanks a lot!

[S0nicH]

@MustNotRead - Cheers! (although your first comment wasn't wrong) ;)

FEAR2 is a dumbed-down console version of the original. lacks the depth and feel of the original, but not terrible.

[S0nicH]

@Tyrhandrer - Agreed - I much preferred FEAR. There's clear "elements of console-itis" in Project Origin, although it's not too bad. A lot of the effects are good though, I really like the shockwaves from grenades in Reflex Time. Looks fantastic.

[Ronnock]

Could you review Condemned 1 and 2? Thank you.

[keiranb97]

fear 2 is only £8.90 on amazon but the first one is £27.94

[S0nicH]

@keiranb97 - Indeed! You can get each of the first parts for about £3 each, or pay £25 for the Platinum collection. It's mad!

I love FEAR and the 2 expansion packs. Well maybe Perseus Mandate was pretty sh*t.

But I LOVED Extraction Point, esp the ending. The game was like an action movie.

I was going to purchase FEAR 2 right away from release date but review but me off

FEAR2 is just over £5 on amazon now. And I will pick it up at some point.

is it me or is FEARs crazy storyline about some stupid company experimenting with physic commanders believable?

Any audio logs or phone with me voice messages this time around?

[S0nicH]

@miltbottleboy - Nothing like that in FEAR 2 unfortunately, they're replaced with the "intel" notes I mention. Similar idea, but not as effective I think.

[MarioVsDK]

Great review, as always :)

Never played a F.E.A.R. game. Might try the first one. (Considering its like £6 on steam)

[S0nicH]

@MarioVsDK - Cheers. You should, it's really good. There's a few really scary moments too and the combat is awesome. Really well made game.

[S0nicH]

@MarioVsDK - Actually, while I think on, you're as well to get FEAR Platinum Collection. It contains the two expansion packs as well and it'll be a similar price.

[MarioVsDK]

@S0nicH Might see if I can pick up that instead then. Thanks for the help :D
