F.E.A.R.

RIP Monolith

It's definitely showing its age but the combat was really fun.

Наконец-то мои руки добрались до этой серии игр. Я ни раз слышал хвалебные отзывы о ней, и могу сказать не зря. Я прошёл всю основную игру, а также 2 дополнения. Стоит отметить что в игре есть не плохой сюжет, достаточно простой, но интересный. Также в игре просто невероятная атмосфера, и моментами она правда может испугать. Но всё же игра в первую очередь шутер, и она не забывает об этом, поэтому большая часть игры это перестрелки. Сами перестрелки ощущаются очень хорошо благодаря совокупность всех факторов, а именно очень неплохой ии противников, физичный движок игры, свет, и то что поверхности не остаются такими же чистыми после боя. От стен отлетают куски, пыль может перекрыть тебе обзор, если вдруг враг дал очередь в стену рядом с тобой, от самих врагов кровь летит в разные стороны и остаётся на поверхностях. Разнообразия оружия в игре хватает, и стрельба в игре ощущается не плохо, если не забывать о том что это всё же не претендует быть симулятором или на какой-то реализм. По поводу дополнений особо сказать нечего, это отдельные компании, но сами дополнения мало чем отличаются от основной игры, и мне они не особо понравились, потому что они больше ощущаются как хорошая фанатская модификация, а не как хорошее длс на игру. Из минусов игры стоит отметить только то что она не очень хорошо работает на современных системах, но всё решается фанатскими патчами. Моя итоговая оценка игре 8,5/10

Good story, but on normal settings still pretty challenging game

Buen juego, buena trama y entretenido

The best of Monolith. An absolutely classic FPS for mouse and keyboard players (most of my playtime was offline). This is the only game in the F.E.A.R. series worth playing. Very immersive enemy A.I. because of their frequent communication/call outs to one another. One of only two games with slow-mo mechanics I actually enjoy (the other being Max Payne), partially because of the impressive physics and particle effects. Also a very artistic use of lighting and dreadful atmosphere makes the game's visuals hold up today.

Um fps de ação e terror já consagrado pelo tempo, sempre ótimo de jogar de vez em quando.Jogabilidade de combate ótima, com i.a dos inimigos bem feita e um clima de suspense/terror muito bom.Embora já antigo permanecerá uma peróla do mundo dos games

[h1] One of the best games I've ever played in my entire life, and I mean it. [/h1] [b] This iconic game is perfect [/b], the dreadful aesthetic, the creepy vibes and atmosphere, the lightning of the LithTech Jupiter EX engine, the sometimes realistic and sometimes goofy physics, the tactical power fantasy action and gunfights in sections of the game, the variety of weapons you get to kill and turn your enemies into an explosion of gibs and blood with it's cinematic slow-mo, the unsettling audio design that's made to build tension, the sudden unpredictable terrifying hallucinations that you get and see, the supernatural dreadful horrifying narrative with It's environmental storytelling and It's own intelligent and unique AI that is very ahead of It's time that makes the enemies feel so much more human compared to other games (which is what the game is also mostly known for) along with many many many other things are what makes this very intense psychological game a timeless, unique [u] masterpiece. [/u] [h3] HOWEVER... [/h3] (this could count as a disclaimer) During my playthrough with the main base game that worked quite well with it's very good optimization for a 2005 game, the multiplayer did not work sadly, maybe unless you maybe did some searching here and there on the internet, which isn't very convenient, considering they could have tried to fix the multiplayer, not only that, but the expansions (or DLC) that are included when buying the base game, which are "F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point" and "F.E.A.R.: Perseus Mandate" gave me this error on startup: "security module cannot be activated" Error 8016, which I haven't found a fix for it yet, even after trying Run as Administrator or Compatibility mode, it gave me the same error, even though it only happened to me, I'm not sure if It's happening to anybody else or not other than the ones who also wanted to fix this error and posted a discussion about it. Also.. easily one of the other drawbacks of the game is that some maps could seem a bit copy-pasted, with the boring office layout that tends to be full of re-used assets, and towards the endgame levels the enemies can feel "bullet spongy" along with some sections that can feel quite frustrating. But even with all the downsides that the game has, this game still shines for It's strengths and merits, I will always fully recommend this game and it's expansions (incase you manage to play them one way or another) with all my heart and soul as it will always be a must-play in my eyes. [b] 10/10. [/b]
