Make a good game

>make a good game
>know exactly how to make it
>never ever make a game like it again
Why does this happen? It was good. It was pretty successful. Yet the sequels are nothing in comparison. What are some other games that have this disappointing outcome?

3 was not made by monolith, 2 was but management forced them to americanize it. fear 1 was inspired by japanese horror, 2 was the american action thriller "horror"
fear 1 was also designed entirely for PC unlike the sequels

fpbp
its a shame what happened to f.e.a.r. the first game was amazing, the first expansion was also great. the franchise had so much potential

I don't get it. I want to be a low iq consumerist whore, but they just won't endlessly produce the same product for my insatiable gluttony.

Except the sequels were trash for fucking up a formula that worked just fine. Don't be a deliberately obtuse faggot.

Get over it. Move on with your life

But I want to bitch and complain on Yea Forums about video games.

Fair enough. Just maybe complain about what you got instead of what you don't, I guess.

Max Payne 2 and 3 did not need to exist.

That's actually a good point. I will try to do this next time.

>dev is allowed low risk pet project based on previous successes by big publisher

>sequel releases and is a downgrade in every way with appropriately lukewarm reception
>publisher blames the dev they steamrolled and sells IP to some lukewarm shovelware mill
It's a tale as old as time. Usually it comes back to the good game becoming too popular.

I just remembered this game and went on Steam to try and buy it, expecting it to be at least $15.

>it's locked in a pack that's $60 and can't be purchased separate

>F.E.A.R 2/3 are $15/20

are you fucking serious??

Weirdly enough I saw a physical copy of fear 3 going for 60 dollars used. What's up with that?

pirate it, goofy boy

Atleast the gameplay as still cock solid, Fear 2 was some halfway aborted consoletrash

2 shows how sometimes listening to fans can be destrimental
The original had a lot of similar enviroments and that was bad apparently so the second game is a themepark cawodooty corridor going through varied but poorly detailed enviroments with little of the original level design
That said it had a really good shotgun, better than the first one

Has anybody tried this? Apparently it adds and remakes the best of all 3 games into the first one and its expansions

>fear 1 was inspired by japanese horror
Is this why its horror parts are so flat and boring?

>That said it had a really good shotgun, better than the first one
The semi-auto one? Because the pump in Fear 2 can't hit anything you can't touch. It's like Doom 3 shotgun, except you're fighting hitscan soldiers 99% of the time (that 1% where you fight melee monsters lets it shine, though).

Yes

>2 was but management forced them to americanize it. fear 1 was inspired by japanese horror, 2 was the american action thriller "horror"

The horror sucks ass in both games. The shooting is what good in the first, and the game got consolized to shit in the sequel.

It goes on sale for like 5 dollars during summer/winter you autist

this. i played on 360, but if we were getting a new, good FEAR game, even if it were multiplat, it has to be made for PC first. i didnt even care how the leaning and some of the combined movement felt janky, *I* can fix that with rebinds. dont fucking ruin the series just because controllers only have so many buttons.

Why the fuck dont they put it on the store? It has a 60fps boost and we cant play it unless were lucky and find a second hand copy

Honestly I love the fear series but
FEAR 1 just doesn't hold up to modern play, it plays like absolute shit now.
FEAR 3 gets shit on and while I think it ditched what the earlier games had with a horror element, you couldn't really continue the series on with that alone. As an FPS game it was really fun though and I enjoyed playing as the psychic brother and just exploding people left and right. It was a good game even if it wasn't the same genre as FEAR 1 and 2.

They're great games for nostalgia but replaying them now the age really shows and unfortunately that does in come ways affect teh atmosphere when you have terrible character models trying to show emotion.

>fear 1 was inspired by japanese horror
FEAR's horror sucked and was the weakest part of the game

>why not make the same game 99999999999 times???? surely that won't get boring right???????????????

Yes.
FEAR 1 barely runs on PC.

I also used to love Jericho, but objectively its fucking garbage playing now that I'm not 12 years old.

Which is better, Fear or Condemned? Which is scarier?

They could've at least made the same game twice.

The 2 FEAR 1.5 games was them making it 2 more times.

I had more fun playing Fear but condemned unnerved me much much more. Both great games.

I'll be honest. I forgot the second expansion existed.

Lmao what the fuck kind of shitbox are you playing on that can't run FEAR?

FEAR1 plays completely fine, though? I'm even saying it as someone who thinks it's very overrated. Weapon models and especially weapon animations are a bit dogshit, but it's a decently fun game otherwise.

That was Timegate Studios.

should i buy this for 1.85 euros?

>it plays like absolute shit now.
you have pc problems that you need to sort out. i played the whole game on a 2011 bestbuy family desktop.

Yes

Did the site just shit the bed for anyone else a couple minutes ago?

GOG has it on sale regularly, complete with both expansions. I got it for like $5.99 or something.

>forced them to americanize it. fear 1 was inspired by japanese horror, 2 was the american action thriller "horro
Profound mental retardation

There's a very common problem with Logitech mouse drivers and FEAR. Really easy to google.

This unironically. Fuck these predatory practices; they know people are only interested in 1 so they "bundle it" to jack up the price.

It's on an 85% sale right now. Grab it while it lasts Yea Forumsros.

>I forgot the second expansion existed.
That's completely understandable; even calling it an expansion is a stretch.

That's not even true god you zoomers are so retarded a lot of publishers just lazily throw a random ridiculous price on a game because during a steam sale thry can then do an 90% off deal. Who the fuck would buy an old game not during summer/winter sale? It isn't greedy when it's discounted for 2 weeks straight at least twice a year at 90% off kill yourself you retarded commies.

I played the original and Extraction Point a good couple of times but never Perseus Mandate. Was it really that bad?

>It isn't greedy when it's discounted for 2 weeks straight at least twice a year at 90% off kill yourself you retarded commies.
IT's greedy when they lock you out from purchasing the standalone title.

No, you should pirate it, its an old game, monolith does not care about FPS anymore outside of the original employees.

Bait.
I hate you faggots. Every thread is ridden with kike bait.

>objectively correct option
>gets called bait
This is bait.

It still blows my mind how bad 3 was, literal ”yeah, that happened” territory. Atmosphere shit, gameplay shit, pacing absolute shit and the game feels like some insane patchwork of unrelated levels with no reason or rhyme.

I always get extraction and perseus mixed up, but I just remember one of them being incredibly short. It felt more like a mappack than a new campaign.

Trepang 2 will be the FEAR 2 we should have got. Hopefully.

No it's fucking not because you're paying less than the cost of 1 single game for 3 games and 3 expansion packs. It costs less than 1 hour of work holy shit they could have pulled an Activision and instead charged 20/30/50 dollars AFTER the sale discount has been factored in for old games, but they instead did the kind thing and threw all their games together in a massive discount bundle that's as legally close to possible to zero and you still bitch. Kill yourself.

>Trepang 2
I don't want to get too hyped, but from the looks of things they've remade the AI from fear 1 almost to a T. I'm cautiously excited.

neither is scary
