Gabrielle Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I just got the demo of FEAR with the latest edition of PC Gamer. Would it be worth installing?
Bokishi Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 The demo actually stiches the best scenes from the first few levels into 1 level, it's worth playing. But it depends on ur comp, I certainly wouldn't want to install something that ran like crap. Current 3DMark
Gabrielle Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I'm sure my computer can run it. It can run Bloodlines. I'll give it a try see if I like and if I do, go out and buy the game.
alanschu Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I'm wondering what the issue is here. It doesn't take long to install it, nor uninstall it. I play pretty much every demo of a moderately big game just in case.
Gabrielle Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Of course. I'll see how bloody this game is.
Slowtrain Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Fear is quite a lot of fun. Not to hard or scary though. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
Darque Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Excellent, my type of game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From what I've heard, you will adore this game
Gabrielle Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Excellent, my type of game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From what I've heard, you will adore this game <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Blood and gore just like Bloodlines.
Slowtrain Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Blood and gore just like Bloodlines. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ? WHere did you get that idea? Its nothing like Bloodlines, and there is no real blood and gore. Mostly its a straight up merc fight. Closer to Far CRy by far than Bloodlines.

alanschu Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 I've only played the demo, but I thought it had some disturbing scenes. And I didn't really find Bloodlines all that blood and gory either, outside of the stealth kills.
LoneWolf16 Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 No blood splatters? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's a blood-drenched room, people explode into a cloud of red mist and chunks when hit with a grenade, limbs get blown off, they get ripped in half, people get melted to nothing but skeletons, leaving a gorey mess...there's a room filled to your waist with blood....etc. etc. I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
Darque Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Wow, that sounds cool Grenades I think I'll name one Mr. Meaty Chunks and save it for that "special" encounter.. like a lot of people in a really confined space

Slowtrain Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 FEAR is a standard FPS game that mixes straight up combat againt mercs and some various machines with little dream/halluncination bits that contain some grotesque sounds/images. I don't mean that in a bad way either. Its quite fun, but its not particulalrly bloody or ghoulish any more than standard FPS fare. Its certainly less so than a SOF or Hitman.

It's much more.....personal.

Gabrielle Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 I'm not really into FPS fames but I'll give them another chance.
