FEAR 2 sucks.
- No lean. (hence "console game")
- The level design was worse than the first FEAR,
- The AI was dumped down. In the first game there were constantly trying to flank, and doing things like throwing grenades to make you get out of cover.. They really worked as a team. In the second game they were dumb and the game was easy even on hard difficulty.
- The combat is obviously much, much worse. The first FEAR had some of the best sound design I've ever experienced, and it added a lot of punch to the combat.. Everything from the sound of bullets hitting objects or enemies, explosions, or the melee and jump kicks were done perfectly and was so satisfying to hear. There was also the great particle effects.. During combat you could see stuff flying everywhere, and debris bouncing off the walls from bullet holes and filling the room with dust. All of that was either dumped down or completely gone in FEAR 2.
- The first game had a pretty good balance between combat and horror. It did not rely on jump scares, but on messing with the player's head. The story was laid out in small bits through phone messages and things like that, which slowly built up the creepy atmosphere. FEAR 2 had only one scary part (the school), and it was just a bunch of jump scares.. the game was just a shooter.
- QTEs.
- Awful art style. (IMO)
1) so what? the lean blows
2) i didn't play two yet, and im maybe halfway through the first but i can honestly that as is, the level design is bad.
3) don't confuse aggression with smart AI, their actually stupid. just back up and let them funnel themselves in. so far your making yourself look really stupid and more even more like a PC bigot
4) sound? unless they are OVER YOUR HEAD you cannot hear their footsteps. you don't know anyone is even in the same room until their shooting you. i didn't play 2 yet so can't comment on the rest
5) the story is entertaining, but the combat is in my experience of playing other shooters...shit. now i'm basing this off of modern games, which isn't fair but i didn't play the game until this week. which means to me it is fair, because i don't have anything else to compare it to that i know of in the time frame it was released (which i didn't look up, and won't because it doesn't change the fact that i'm playing it today, not back then)
6) dunno what a QTEs is.
7) if you think Fear 1 has good art your playing while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. it's fair, and decent in some places. but shit in others and media-core in some.
so next time you wanna judge something, stop putting nostalgic classes on and lay it down straight. i don't have to play fear 2 to tell you what F1 did wrong
