Why is pistol ammo so fucking rare?

FEAR 2 was trash. Granted the story was fucked because it started development as not a FEAR game, same as FEAR 3, but that doesn't excuse the mediocre gameplay. FEAR 3 was a better game. It had better gameplay and better level design. Only the story was worse but it's not like FEAR 2 had a good story anyway, it was just not as shit.

FEAR 3 is worse in every possible way
>better level design
Lol no, that mw2 favela knock off is the worst thing I've ever played
That godawful cartoony art direction alone makes it worse than 2

You are objectively wrong. FEAR 3 plays so much better than FEAR 2 which was an enormous step down from FEAR 1. Clearly Monolith, a traditionally PC developer, had no idea how to make a decent console shooter when they made FEAR 2.

>Lol no, that mw2 favela knock off is the worst thing I've ever played
Nice meme, retard. FEAR 3 has some of the best levels of the whole fucking franchise. I doubt you ever even played FEAR 3.

Why can't I hug Alma and tell her she is a good girl?

because she's a ghost and you'll most likely get liquified before you get to say a word

I didn't know that the FEAR community was this divided?

pistols are pretty great for a lot of the game and are good for the final section with all the ghost enemies since they die easily and you can place your shots

>ACTUALLY liking fear 3
What the fuck man? I thought it was one of the very few universally accepted facts that fear 3 is absolute fucking garbage

How come no one ever brings up how shitty the UI is whenever they're discussing FEAR 2. It looks like something straight out of Deus Ex: Invisible War.
Also, why is the game called FEAR 2: Project Origin when the game is about Project Harbinger?

FEAR 3 goes from 0 to 100 in about thirty seconds.
You probably kill more enemies in the first prison level than in half of FEAR 2's campaign. The pacing is clearly inspired by the first game's expansions.

It also had better horror scenes (the fucking TV store lmao) and better mech sections.

Everything in that game looks like shit aesthetics wise, guns are overdesigned plastic trash with garbage animations, sounds and feel and enemies look like literal action figures

I feel like all these "people" liking FEAR 3 is actually in reality one basement dweller trying his best to make it look like there is more like him.

nah it's just a contrarian faggot, he shows up sometimes and claims that 3 is even better than 1

>The second game was such a good horror fps experience

fear 3 was like playing serious sam spoopy edition with fucking achievements popping up every 10 seconds, it was shit and will always remain shit

>I feel like all these "people" liking FEAR 3 is actually in reality one basement dweller trying his best to make it look like there is more like him.

No kidding...

FEAR 3 isn't shit. John Carpenter personally endorsed it.

>decent console shooter
Literally no such thing given the fact that shooters on consoles are objectively downgrades compared to PC shooters.
>less buttons means less inputs to bind, meaning no lean, less weapons to hold, etc
>imprecise control stick instead of the precision of a keyboard and mouse necessitating the slowdown of gameplay to accommodate

That also makes it even more shit.

Also no circular level design to allow the AI to flank, no squads anymore, only waves from a single direction in front of you because almost all the levels are just one tube

It's worse than shit and so is 2.

I will never not be mad about what hapenned to this franchise
From FEAR to FEAR online, fucking hell

In 2 Alma hugs you and tells you you're a good boy, does that count?

She also telepathically rapes you and probably kickstarts the apocalypse as a result.

>telepathically
Also reminder that she's basically a dried up animated corpse and the curvy one you see is just an illusion

Well yeah, she specifically takes on the sexier form after getting rejected a bunch and thinking that looking more attractive will stop it from happening again.

that's just niche contrarianism and details of the lesser loved parts of the series
1 and extractionpoint are pretty much unanimously considered the hight of fear

come on, it didn't look THAT bad,
the sandbox showcase looks like shit because there's absolutely no ambient sound and good lighting around it.
The guns definately sound weak compared to the first, but fear one looks way more plasticy thanks to the shiny surfaces of the armors.
What i can see most people disliking too is the too sci-fi and clean look of the game. The first had sci-fi elements but they were always played down a bit, the guns felt very analog and ballistic (dual pistols and shotgun were orgasmic to make the setting feel more raw and violent) They played a good balance between those contrasting sides.
