Man, am I a weenie (FEAR)

I'm just not that big a horror fan. Getting scared isn't one of my favorite pastimes. But I loved the gameplay in the FEAR demo so much I had to buy the full version. I even preordered it.

I loved the game immediately and it runs great on my system. But I gotta be honest. It scared the crap out of me. So much so that I was actually afriad to pick it back up after play through the first 4 Intervals.

Recently I decided to take my skirt off and give it another go. I'm really loving it once again but dang I get so creeped out at times. They did a fantastic job of scaring me with the suspense. Just when I start to feel comfortable that I've seen the last clone trooper for a while something throws a body through a window right in front of me.

I hate the game and love it at the same time. :shock:

I have to agree FEAR is very scary, and at times i had to stop playing it.

The expansion pack is excellent as well.

You should try The Suffering. The graphics aren't near as good as FEAR, but I think it's a lot "freakier" than FEAR. It made me jump out of my chair a couple times. :)

FEAR is a great game though, it's definitely worth playing all the way through.

FEAR is an awsome game.Ahh good times 3am all lights out + fear = clone trooper pwnage.

The suffering was damn scary as well. The monsters, the story and those damn freaky flashbacks images of murdered people made a terrific game.

Turn on some lights and fire up the game.. It isn't 'that' scary..FrozeN__54

Yeah....I must agree that FEAR was one hell of a scary game,and it was WAY more scarier than Doom 3.Doom 3 was a good game,I liked it alot,but it wasn't scary at all,probably because I already learned the places where they try to jump on me with the same monsters again and again....so it became rather funny than scary for me.FEAR on the other hand was a complete different game in terms of "scary",FEAR focused more on freaky girls and illusions than monsters that jumping from dark corners,and that's why it scared me more than doom...

I really can'twait for the announced sequel....hope it will be shown in the E3:(

lol I only got into FEAR around 10-15 min and I shut it off...too scared to keep on going hell I haven't even killed a single thing yet lol oscar530

Hahaha, come now, the game isnt that scary. All you do is run around killing clones, with the occasional demon or spirit, lol.

Last night in Interval 4 (bishop)I was in a room near the elevators when the girl appeared outside in the elevator lobby. She just stared at me through the window and didn't move. I stared back for a bit waiting for something to happen. Nothing did. I realized I needed to step out into the lobby to trigger the rest of the sequence.

Gritting my teeth I stepped out and slid around the corner to face her. I jumped a mile when I realized she was a lot closer to me than I thought she would be and walking my way. I fired off a shotgun blast when I jumped and she went up in smoke to end the sequence. I had the eeriest chill down my spine after that.

I think this is the only video game I've ever played that actually got my adrenaline up like that. Hats off to the developers for creating such a well crafted game.

Well F.E.A.R. is a great game , but it's not all that scary (to me it's not scary at all). The moments where something "scary" is about to happen are easily predictable and onlyare 10-15 for the whole game. If you want tosee something really scary just play Condemned : Criminal Origins.

rofl, I'm thinking about picking up the Gold Edition right now....sounds great.xcryonicx

Hehehe people are so chicken. Its the movies fault now its all dramas and romance. I grew up on gore movies and nothing scares me now :)

I did enjoy Fear myself my only problem with it is i thought it got way too hard toward the end.

After you've played Alien Versus Predator 2 Marine mission, nothing can scare you.... _Pedro_

Part of the FEAR factor for me comes from the fact that I've got 3 young daughters in the house so I'm forced to play it at night, all alone, in my dark office, with headphones on ...

I agree wholeheartedly. I just laughed at Fear. Avp2 marine missions will scare the piss out of you. One of the most underated games of all time too. It was a masterpiece.

I just love hating the games I play. The frustration, the fear or the difficulty in some games is what gets me back every time.

AVP2 didn't creep me out as much as Fear, AVP gave me "holy crap" moments while Fear gave me "what the hell is going on" moments that made me want to cry. I felt like I had more power and control in AVP, just run backwards and empty your clip (though the part near the beginning where you try to save the girl who was deep in a nest and nothing comes after you till you try to leave and then you get swarmed, that was creepy). In Fear, the scariest parts are with the little girl, staring at you, appearing and vanishing. I turned the lights on...

Now there's Stalker, which has it's creepy moments.

I've never found FPS games to be truly scary for some reason,i just jump from time to time.

My fave been the death of Holiday and when alma pops out to grab you when your climbing up that ladder

fatboyvinnie

same here games just don't scare me : / i used to get freak out by banjo on the N64 when ever u lost u had to watch that game over thing with the little girl but that was when i was little :p

I think FEAR is the horror game that i have been least scared in.

Games like Pnumbra or Vampire Bloodlines, were much scarier, imo.

i remember when i was in that vent and sheruns right at you super fast, i screech a little lol

and that fat dude i thought he was a ghost or somthing like the girl took aform of aguy to talk to you..but just turns out he betrays you at some point well makes it harder to get through the levelthen you avenge his death meh...

no wait i meant that you fight these ghost monsters all the sudden once you kill them off and creap arounda spooky officefloor then you seethis strange dudeand i thought one of the ghost monsters took a forum of a guy to suss you out thats what a meant ,over thinking stuff isint that bad...

I remember the first time I was playing the game and there is a point that you're going down ladder and then that scary 'fin girl comes out of now where... that scared teh crap out of me and when I reached the buttom of the ladder some Zombie mf was coming out me I was so shocked I smashed the left mouse button so hard that my mouse fell down hahaha Amir_1

Yeah, the girl standing at the top of the ladder got me, too. Little kids laughing really disturbs me now.

After you've played the Silent Hill series, lights out, alone at night, nothing can scare you...._Pedro_

I know this post is a couple of days old, but i had to correct that "error". :D

i likehorror games but it didn't felt that scary the most scary game was doom 3 also funny at the same time i remember a guy somwhere in the level was a zombie he was hitting his head in one window , he was in a room he got put eventulally i killed him :-J, also do not forget about alien vs predator 1 playing as the marine that was a little creepy, and the suffering also great horror game, i don't this game wasn't that scary it had some great sequences but, there are many games out there that are a lot more horror like, vampire series is not scary it's cool , penumbra overture or condemed might be dind't played them

FEAR was awesome and really scary.

Sometimes there are some games that you wish they never end! Because of nice different elements in them. Like Story in WarCraft3. Or horro in FEAR.

By the way to me FEAR EXPANTION was very short! It ends suddenly. Came down of the stairs and see the ending wothout any preparation and good conclution.

I'm just not that big a horror fan. Getting scared isn't one of my favorite pastimes. But I loved the gameplay in the FEAR demo so much I had to buy the full version. I even preordered it.

Well, when I bought that game I actually hated all things horror. But for some reason, FEAR didn't freak me out as much as I was anticipating. I never found myself hesitant to go into the next room or see what made that box fall over. In fact, I found myself running and gunning most of the game, xD.

LOL I have to say though...two parts that I specifically remember freaking me out (totally wasn't expecting it moments, whereas I usually do expect those moments):

1. That part where you mentioned...you're walking down that corridor and that body flies out of the glass into the wall. Although my body never really moved I felt as if I'd touched the ceiling :p

2. I can't remember exactly where, but you're going through these office cubicles and there's one specific one where you turn the corner and you briefly see her crawling out of the darkness at you, then she disappears. Nothing really special, but I wasn't anticipating that. :P

FEAR is a very enjoyable title. Can't wait for the new expansion pack, let alone FEAR 2 (lets pray that FEAR 2's multiplayer is much better than that of the first ;))
