F.E.A.R.2 Project Origin review

This is probably the worost review I've ever created. All I can say in my defense is I put as much effort into the review as Monolith put into making F.E.A.R.2

so antisocialfatman what would you say the best horror game you have ever played ?

[antisocialfatman]

@harrisonpie Silent Hill 1 & 2, the Penumbra series and Amnesia.

Aww, how I've missed your voice! Cool review, the game looks a bit weird and consoly in your vid, I wasn't expecting that... One thing I can't believe is that you rated a shitty FEAR expansion higher than this. I have not played FEAR 2 yet, but I refuse to believe it's worse than PM, which is mediocrity in a box.

[antisocialfatman]

PM isn't as solid as F.E.A.R., but it has the fundamentals down just fine (by inheriting them from F.E.A.R.). Its only errors are the pacing and the new enemy. Those aside, it has the same awesome gunplay as F.E.A.R.

F.E.A.R.2, on the other hand, doesn't. It makes too many fundamental errors.

Oh, and PM and F.E.A.R.2 are about the same length. Think about that for a moment!

[SamBlackmore]

Your reviews are way better than professional ones, keep it up. Also, hope to see a Resi 5 one soon !

people forget one important thing.. that this game isnt planned as a sequel to fear.. first it was only project origin.. but they changed it and made a sequel of it for fear 2.. if u go into this game by knowing this.. the game is actually pretty good

[Torejansson]

So dissapointing game!

I don't know i found myself a bit more jumpy in this game during the alma scenes(which were too few) because of the seemingly randomness of her appearances and the visual effects. I would go into a room, grab some stuff and turn around and she wasn't there, but when i went back in the same room she would be standing there. I explore a lot and I found this has happened many times, but the game overall is poorly balanced and not as good as the original in my opinion

[laifalbert]

@UberNoodleX I haven't seen too many people making "excessive levels" of complaints. Do you mean calling the game terrible? 3/5 is not a terrible score by the way. The rating system this guy uses is well balanced, making 3/5 an average game.

[laifalbert]

@hypershadic88 It wasn't a serious statement, it was a joke. Besides, while quality is subjective, it's hard to argue that Monolith put much work into F.E.A.R. 2 because it was just that similar to the original. Identical A.I. and few new elements make it little more than an expansion.

[hypershadic88]

@laifalbert I agree, but in his description he said that he put in the same amount of effort into the review that

monolith put into fear 2, that is a very ignorant statement.

[UberNoodleX]

@laifalbert as a big fan of the series, I see the complaints against the latter games as largely moutains made of molehills. Honestly, the first game was no better in story or presentation than the second. It arguably was more technically acomplished but that is debateable and depends on what you look for in visuals. In the end, the hate for the game is another fine example of gamers enlarging problems to excessive levels.

[laifalbert]

@hypershadic88 A review should not be presented as opinion. The point is to express why you have your opinion in a convincing manner. People use reviews to be convinced of whether or not a game is worth a play through. Presenting a review as opinion undermines its very purpose.

He doesn't call it a piece of shit. He gives it a 3/5 which is, on his rating system, ok. If you were to watch more of his reviews, you would see that he would give it this score regardless of the quality of the original.

[laifalbert]

@UberNoodleX He said the story was not emotional and well done. According to him, it was a good story badly presented. He believes that the majority of the fans would be playing the sequel for the gunplay.

I really loved this game. Expanded on the first. Holy jesus have you played Fear 3? Fear 2 still looks and plays so organically even today. The graphics are extremely well, even for 2011. I love this game. The third just sucks.
