I've played F.E.A.R. this year for the first time and I absolutely loved it (Extraction Point was great too, Perseus Mandate was meh). This reminded me what gaming is all about.
Next, i've played F.E.A.R 2, which just made me angry and sad, it's everything wrong with modern FPS, or gaming in general. The contrast between 1 and 2 is so jaring. How do you go from this to this?
>clearly consolized
>can't save manually, only checkpoints
>too zoomed in FOV, ugly visor overlay getting in the way too
>textures are somehow lower quality that in the first one, with ugly rainbow artifacting near light sources
>no audio logs, only written logs
>no leaning
>made for retards, slow-mo lights up targets, grenades leave glowing trails etc.
>slow-mo no longer has the iconic sharpen filter
>story: it's Alma again...
>boring weapons
>boring enemies, AI seems much dumber
>too reliant on jump scares, the atmosphere is not there
>forced camera angles during jump scares and cutscenes, F.E.A.R. 1 almost never took control away from you
>happens at the same time as F.E.A.R. 1, yet looks more futuristic, nothing like F.E.A.R. 1
>quick time events
>hit markers, we cod now
>le quirky chungus companions!!
>and a fucking turret section...
