>>1854305 >NOT A SINGLE GAME LIKE YOU STILL I feel Underhell got a bit close, but that's never getting finished. Trepang2 sucked, both as a fear clone and just in general. I really disliked it outside of some music tracks. Haven't played selaco or anything else but I doubt selaco will end up good considering it's one of those paid doom wads.

>>1854334 Since you've played it so often, ever do a no slo-mo run? The game expects you to use it, so if you choose not to do it you really got to be on your toes.

>>1854346 >>1854359 Many thanks anons. Guess I'll settle with the first one off GOG then. 80% off. Could be my spooky game of the spooky month.

>>1858562 I have thought about it. Thing is while i think I can do a run like that I dont really want to. It would be a lot of corner peeking and playing carefully instead of going balls first.

>>1855657 No, I'm talking about that room in the first game, I enver even knew Extraction Point had one. That's at the midgame I'm pretty sure.

>>1856009 Underhell is nothing like it, it's very unique. >I didn't like Trepang2 I enjoyed it quite a lot, but it's also not F.E.A.R outside the some concepts, way more agressive gameplay as well.

FEAR is great for its hot psychic incest The interactive environments and character designs are neato too.

>>1861109 Nothing psychic about it, it was in vitro

>>1861153 Didn't't Alma fug one of her sons?

>>1861156 No, actually play the game

>>1861159 I probably should, maybe I'll marathon through the series around Halloween

>>1861159 Should’ve told him she did, ugh, so dumb. Now he’s never gonna play them, retard.

>>1859534 >That's at the midgame I'm pretty sure. The room is found in "Interval 09 - Incursion - Lapdog" level before entering the vault and before Mapes gets shot. https://youtu.be/Q_kKZghwD7I?t=15095 >>1861156 Alma rapes Michael Becket, the protagonist of F.E.A.R 2, he is unrelated to Alma.

>>1863894 Just installed it too. Haven't played it in years and this >>1854852 works great.

>>1863894 You know to be honest with you I cant remember if you get the expansions with the game or if you have to buy the bundle. I am fairly certain you can just buy the first game and get both expansions. https://www.gog.com/en/game/fear_platinum GOG has a gold edition which for sure comes with the expansions though. I recommend that instead. I wouldn't recommend getting the steam bundle unless you got a friend to play fear 3 with.

All right, I got it. Do I need to apply the echo patch to all of the games or just the first F.E.A.R only?

>>1866172 The patch is only for the first game and the expansions.

>>1866177 Alright, thanks for clearing that up. Will I need something similar for the other ones or are they good on their own?

>>1866181 FEAR 2 gave me issues - I ran Steamless on it and than ran Large Address Aware, fixed everything. If Extraction Point gives you issues even with Echopatch, do the above on it (through Echopatch). If it still gives you issues, run it in Windows Compatibility for XP. Can't comment on FEAR 3, not played it since it came out.

>>1866436 I've only gotten 2 hours on it so far and it's really fun and the visuals aren't too bad. Runs at a decent 60 fps and the only visual issues happen when I'm facing the wall for too long cause some odd shadows or whatever you call those visual errors but for the most part it's fine. Enemies get me every now and then on moderate difficulty and the horror seems more on the sounds design and visual setting rather then the jump scare. The calm after combat's more unnerving then whenever the ghost loli pops up anyways. Especially knowing she's trying not to hurt you on purpose. It's pretty challenging and a fun new experience especially since the game doesn't mind you looking around especially for med kits and reflects enhancing packs. Little bit that I like the most is that there are no pop ups or indicators that tell you to go to a specific area, game gives you the skills and info to figure shit out and where to go on your own.

>>1866733 >Not wanting a huge arrow covering half the screen telling you where to go

>>1866172 https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/F.E.A.R.#Essential_improvements

Hopefully there's a HD remaster released someday (that's handled well instead of like so many others) which fixes all the performance issues that require mods to fix.

>>1866814 >semen remaining >fingerless glove meter Over like 15 years later and it still makes me laugh.

>>1899967 Fuck you. Take your monkey paw shit somewhere else before some fuckhead goes and ruins it.

Just wrapped it up and jumped straight into a second run, this time focused on the gunplay. The urban decay vibe is what gets me the most, especially out in the open. Moon slipping behind clouds on a night op, faint city sounds way off in the distance, wind howling through shattered windows... The atmosphere is unreal, and it still looks great 20 years on. Story? Couldn't give too much of a shit ngl. Wanna give 2 and 3 a shot eventually, but from what I've seen, it's a massive fucking downgrade in gunfeel, tone, and art direction.

>>1902413 You know you're playing a good game that holds up when it's years old and still makes you feel happy you're playing it.

>>1902413 2 and 3 are a step down in gameplay as well. And yeah, I fucking love that setpiece as well, so fucking atmospheric!

Bros, I need your help. I've been trying since last night to get EAX working without success. I tried the two methods listen on PCGammingWiki, no luck. I'm on Fedora Linux.

>>1933945 Do you have a SoundCard?

>>1933945 I wouldn't waste too much time on trying to get it to work, it's not even that good.

>>1934597 Course not. >>1934618 You reckon ? I saw comparisons, it sounds really nice.

>>1854305 Monolith Productions aren't gonna do an anniversary livestream because they're DEAD, lol

I HIGHLY recommend Trepang2 if anyone wants a spiritual successor to the first FEAR.

>>1936382 I wouldn't call it a spiritual sequel at all, just a very big influence.
