The FEAR 2 demo was probably the best demo I've ever played. Loved it so much I had to blog about it. But anyway, I think I'll be trading in my Gears of War 2 for FEAR 2 tonight when I get off work. I think it is totally worth it. What do you guys think? Where are the reviews at BTW? Anyone seen any FEAR 2 reviews yet? I'm gonna buy it either way, just curious what others are saying.
I really want to get it... and I will. I'm just not in good financial standing right now... and first thing on my list is to get a new 360 because my old one got the e74 error.
Anyway I'll be picking it up sometime in the near future. :P
Yaaarr TheGodZero congrats to you . I CANT WAIT DAMN. I have to wait until 13 feb ;( its a pain to wait so long and after play the demo completly dry i need it. My room will fall in darkness when i play this hot shit whahaha. The first Fear was totally awesome i hope the second will be crazy too.
I'm definitely getting it for the pc as soon as I can. The first one, and the demo for the second rocked, so there's no way I CAN'T get it. Not entirely sure why, but I'm really excited about some of the new games coming around the corner. It's been a LONG time since I've been this excited for new games.
Played the first 2 or so levels last night. So far, I'm really digging it. I'd almost go so far to say that I am digging it more than FEAR 1. The combat is spot on and the gunplay feels near perfect.
Just picked up the PC version. Man, I love Monolith's lighting engine. And the artists seem to know exactly the amount of detail to put into their art, without everything looking overly contrasting like some other games out there. Beautiful!!
One thing that is bothering me - why can't I play a shooter without being bombarded with swearing within the first 10 seconds? Number one, it always sounds SO contrived - I get it by now - you're a bunch of jaded manly men. Number two, it makes the characters sound like imbeciles. Most halfway intelligent people don't need to swear every other word to get their point across. So it really takes me out of the game when I hear it constantly.
just clocked it
fantastic work! absolutely loved it, highlights being the mech walker section. I could happily play a whole game based around that bit
nice variety of scenarios, great eye for detail, good level design.
im trying to think of any crits, i think the only thing i can turn up is i reckon the number of keyboard buttons used could probably have been less.
btw, anyone who's about to play it, i advise you just use up the cool guns when you get em, its not really worth trying to conserve their ammo, as I tried to at first. just blast away!

Also, I've never had as much fun in a mech as I did in that demo. Insane fun.
I paid $6.99 to get it repaired. Won't have it back for a couple of days.
Best marketing ever? Can I playz FEAR 2 now plz?
I've gotta find some money to purchase it lol probably will just cut down on food for a couple of weeks :P
I did that to some DVD's of mine...does repairing them generally work? Might try and find somewhere in my area that does it...
I thought the same until I tried the demo. And then tried it a second time. Then I giggled a little.
This is a definite purchase first chance I get.
And to repeat. The demo is excellent. Great way to sell a game.
Congrats to you TheGodZero!
kajooi kajooi kajooi baddabaddabadda vwooosh! kaboom!
It might be a bit longer before i can post my shit up as i'm a procrastinator when it comes to none work related things...

But otherwise - SWEET game!
got some funny little easter eggs in there, is there a story behind the leaning/mopping poster??
I'm going to have to buy this for sure. I'll also have to get the first one, because I never played it and i have no idea WTF is going on :P
