Hey dudes,

I know this is an old game, but since it's on sale on Steam I was wondering if its worth it just for the single player campaign, since I probably won't be playing online or co-op.

I've only read what happened on the first FEAR and played FEAR 2 last year.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

If it's $5, yes. Otherwise, no. Shortest and worst campaign of the series.

Instead of reading what happened why don't you play the first game? FEAR is still the FPS ever made. But for reference, even though FEAR 3 is a very mediocre game it still is better than most shooters today.

I don't think so, I couldn't even finish the second level. Buy the first two FEAR games instead, they are also on sale.

As far as I am concerned, F3AR is the biggest slap in the face to those that's played the first game, the expansion packs and Fear 2.

Fear 3 is the second best of the series. The combat feels more like the first game's than Fear 2's boring and easy skirmishes. Sometimes it's even more intense than the Fear expansions, which had awesome combat scenarios and not much else. The story is nowhere near as retarded as in F2 and the visual design is lovely. Even the mech scenes are ten times better.

F.E.A.R. 1 & 2 and their expansions are really outstanding, F.E.A.R. 3 is horribly, horribly, HORRIBLY bland, idiotic and totally get's the lore F1 & 2 had set up COMPLETELY wrong.

I'd say you only should take it if someone GIVES YOU 5 $ along with it, and also only to grab 5$ for free.

The rape scene of Fear 2 was indeed outstanding!

Unless its under $5, no its not worth it. But if its a few dollars on sale it might be worth rippin through the campaign.

I played the demo long ago and it was more than terrible. How come such a legendary game like the first fear was turned into such garble?

 

It feels like if you play deus ex and then play postal 2.

Play the first fear. It still holds up pretty well and it was probably FPS of the year in, I think, 2007. Fear 2 was alright IMO, worth a shot but Fear 3 was pretty much garbage.

It's better than F.E.A.R. 2 but that isn't saying much. If you're a die-hard F.E.A.R. 1 fan, I couldn't see why you'd like it. I thoroughly enjoyed the original F.E.A.R. and I thought it was superb. I couldn't believe what I played and saw in F2 and the only cool yet weirdass thing about was the ending. F3, I find to be mediocre and boring. There are very little cool parts in the game, but your time is worth more.

fear 3 isn't bad, but I don't think it's as good as fear 1 or fear 2. It's not scary and loses a lot through coop structure. shooting is ok, slow mo is ok, playing as fettel is ok. that series has retconned itself through expansions

For $5 it's worth it.  Playing as Fettel through the campaign was actually pretty fun, but it's definitely the worst game of the trilogy.

It's a good arcady shooter, but it's short and not scary or even creepy at all. If you want more like Fear 1/2 you will be disappointed.

I actually played through it somewhat recently. I would not pay more than 5 dollars for it as there are a lot of better games available.

I loved the first game but the second was not my favorite. I just got the collection off of steam. I have to say I think fear 3 is much better than the second game but no where close the the quality of the first.

Best cover system I've seen in a FPS. It's a good responsive shooter imo but it's also been Call of Dutified and has level>cutscene>level>cutscene, and they removed health packs and put in health regen etc.

imo it goes Fear 1>Fear 2>>>Fear 3.
