It tried practically every cliche scare trick in the book. I'd call that over the top.

I didn't find it over the top.

So what would you call over the top given the number of cliches the haunted house had ?

That would require being familiar with the cliches of haunted houses.

 

 

Doom 3 IMO is a better example of trying to hard. They had imps jumping out of pretty much everything, that my default way of opening up a door was to quickly strafe out of the way since more often than not, there was an imp behind it.

Ahh ... the ol' strafe left door opening technique ... *nods appreciatively*

I rather enjoyed the haunted Mansion in Bloodlines. great stuff.

Anyone know how I can get the sound to work in the game?  It's silent.  The cutscenes works, but everything is upside down.

 

There should be an Oggsetup.exe in the root map. Double-click and you're ready to go (with sound!)

It was prefectly done. One of the best parts to visit in the game.

I thought so. I was especially impressed by the fact that I was playing a vampire, an unholy denizen of the night, while getting spooked by ghosts and other unholy denizens.

You didn't play the haunted mansion without sound, did you ?!?

 

Then you better fix the sound and go back and do it again (preferably in THX quality etc.) :-"

No no, Gorth, I meant System Shock 2. Now the sound works, but it's caught in terminal loops. It's driving me batty.

I wasn't too happy with the sound quality in bloodlines. Everything sounded so mono.

I wasn't too happy with Bloodlines, period.

Buggy as hell, I know. It uses an old version of the source engine.

PC gamer just published in their most recent issue most of the stuff you should have been told without going through all the laptops and phone messages.

Yeah, but that doesn't bother me. I'm a completenik, so I usually hunt down everything. On the other hand, I didn't take the time to go through everything the first run and I doubt I give it a second. ...And I seriously doubt I go in for multiplayer in FEAR.

I like the FEAR multiplayer, a lot.

Ah hell, I guess I should at least give it a shot.

I get a lot of kills with the ASP rifle. The new patch added 3 daytime maps, which are pretty cool.

I'm too lazy to crawl through all 16-17 pages... :">

 

Anybody care to review F.E.A.R. in like 3-5 lines (like, what's the game about) ?

The sounds and background music was some of the best I have heard.

Shoot to kill baby shoot to kill!

So, it's like Unreal Tournament

 

19 pages for that... people must be bored while waiting for something.

it does actually have a plot line associated with it.

 

And PC gamer also talked about what happened to Leo Jankowski.
