Yes, I hit the F.E.A.R. Extraction Point forum like a storm, because it needed it. ;)
Why the 3.0 rating? Because the game plot sucks - truly, truly TRULY sucks. It also didn't help that the animations were mostly the same (except for a couple new entities), nor the textures/materials. Expansion packs are an extension of a previous game, but some change in the theme and variation would've help a heck of a lot.
What else sucks about F.E.A.R. XP? Voice acting. Rumbling through the .arch00 files I see why Harlan Wade was just sitting in that cell, as the voice files weren't made by Grant Goodeve, and sound terrible. Also heard the voice of Bishop with the crane operator. Can understand the need to spread a few voice actors around, but Warren Specter was right about the quality of voice acting in games - either it's overly dynamic (not real), or monologue style to the point you want to RUN from the character to save your sanity!
What gets me about F.E.A.R. XP is how all that is right and just is destroyed. You watch helplessly as friend upon friend is murdered. So now the point man is totally alone, except for Betters (who may be a double agent working as part of the point man's "evaluation", which folks forget is still ongoing).
If I had Monolith's ear, I would say this about F.E.A.R. 2: don't mess up the plot by taking all those tips from MPers! Go back and fix the holes, not just release more fragging madness, as folks need to understand why the hell they even bought the game, let alone play it. It's those who want to play SP, and it's those who's interested in the "world" that pay for the game (Sierra/VU/and/or you gummed it up with the release of F.E.A.R. Combat, since now folks have no need to pay for the game - why not just give XP and F.E.A.R. 2 away for free, too?). If a new revision is more soap operas twists that are crazier than "As the World Turns", then the F.E.A.R. franchise is DOA. The XP sales and ratings should be a clue how bad it can be when you're trying to mix two game genres into one and concentrating on the MP side, it doesn't work. The game needs a story, we need to know why Alice, Jin and Jankowski were supposely killed (if anything why Alice, since her crime was what - and in XP, why her eyes are they way they are? She didn't die that way). Bring F.E.A.R. 2 back into some order, so folks will want to play the game, not move onto greener pastures (Bioshock, for example is coming out soon enough). Oh, one more thing: give us more modding tools! At least a model converter so we don't have to use hacked and cracked Maya and 3DSMax to even edit a model.
