the funny thing is when they do that line I don't think they've ever moved towards the source of the light.

This is one of those games that is genuinely fun but so many people treat it like some kind of forgotten masterpiece. I don't understand. It's an FPS that has a slow motion mechanic, which totally busts the game, and a ton of particle effects. The horror elements are an afterthought, and the selection of guns is really lame. Why worship this thing?

It's a solid shooter, but the A.I is nowhere near as good as fanboys say it is. No, they're not flanking you, they barked a sound clip saying they were about to flank. Actually pay attention next time.

Maybe you are right but that’s what devs themselves said. It would be fun to reverse engineer it to see what’s actually going on.

They are capable of flanking. The audio cues don't always match up, that is true.

It would be nice to finally have a definitive answer. They might actually be intelligent for all I know, and maybe the reason they do the occasional stupid maneuver might be for balance reasons.

>> No.9738081

>>9738037
But they can get behind you. Are you saying they aren't flanking because they don't do it in a coordinated way?

Shooting felt good, really fucked up the room you were in. Campaign had a nice feel and was okay, most of my time with the game ended up online.

no one cares. the AI makes for fun and challenging encounters, and the chatter make you feel more immersed.

FEAR's only issue for me is it looks a but bland, like if they took FEAR gameplay but leaned HARDER into Japanese horror it might be perfect.

It means it's not special for doing what AI in games have been doing for years before FEAR did, just because it plays a sound byte to tell the player about it.

I replayed this so many times when it was new I eventually did a playthrough on hardest difficulty without using the slowmo once.
I also really enjoyed using a single pistol because I watching a lot of 24 at the time.

>>9739180
Handgun is a great weapon, its a one hit kill if you score a headshot, and it's particularly satisfying when you catch enemies standing still and unaware. I carry the handgun in every playthrough for as long as possible, also since I really hate the SMG in this game. It lacks punch, it fires too fast and you can't even one-tap it, even on a single click of the mouse button it fires a random amount of bullets.

Speaking of 24, the 24 game on ps2 was pretty good for a licensed game.

Agreed. I just preferred a standard pistol/rifle combo. I'm remembering a more accurate semi-auto rifle right now.
Paxton Fettel was also a kino villain. Really good story mode. Immersive, lots of lore to uncover for those interested.

I just play the game like this. I've never used it aside from the initial time to try it out.
Replayed the games a good number of times too.
I understand how it could be fun for others, but the sheer doorkicking fast action gameplay is way too fun to slowdown

Honestly, the shotgun is overrated.
I really liked the submachine gun, but it gets outclassed fairly easily

Are you retarded or stupid? Oh, wait, you haven't played the game so you have no idea what you're talking about since you can easily die even with the slow motion mechanic because it's not infinite, and you can still be ambushed.
