But FEAR is a good action game with a horror theme, cock-breath. Better than most crap shooters that came out in following decade.

Hell yeah, I love action games with additional loud, annoying noises added in.

>>14231473

You're right, F.E.A.R. is a third person MOBA.

>>14231501

This is not why I want to look for such games, I just really like the ideas of military operations being conducted with the use, for, or against the paranormal.

>>14231491

shooty guns feel good

it's a braindead game for braindead gamers

>>14231518

I can't believe there still isn't a tacticool ghostbusters/rainbow 6 raven shield game where you kill extra-dimensional beings with a republic commando esque squad

>>14231518

I know, but all you ever get are annoying jump scares in between fire fights. It's a pass for me in general, I've never seen the concept pay off.

I didn't play F.E.A.R, though. It got shit on when it was released and now I hear people talk positively about it. I don't know what to think now.

>>14231523

Just play the game and find out for yourself, you can download it easily.

>>14231537

I will throw it on the backlog, I guess.

>>14231534

14 years ago, I didn't have the money to try every game I saw, nor knowledge of piracy. Now I don't have the time.

>>14231538

>Didn't play one game so can't comment on a subgenre

That opinion's a hell of a lot shittier than mine.

You two suck ass.

>>14231546

>judges the quality with which a concept is executed in a game by others' opinions

that's a dumb thing to say sonny

>>14231556

I wasn't talking about F.E.A.R. What the fuck are you on about?

>>14231564

Again, I wasn't talking about F.E.A.R, I was talking about other horror action games, which is why I explicitly said I haven't played it.

>>14231568

This. It's often a lot of sitting around and waiting for the horror to end.

>>14231568

The one major flaw imho is that sections where the Replicas/Human baddies show up and the section where Alma shows up are way to neatly separated. That way you instantly realize that you haven't shoot anyone in the face for more than 3 minutes, so that the little ghost loli has to appear any second now.

Also, fuck the bullshit ending. When they already give you stuff like the rotary cannon (I'm still mad you only get it in the very last moments of the game so you hardly get to use it), they could at least have given you a proper bossfight.

The half.life 2 mod called Nightmare House 2 was really good. I loved it.

Also haven't played them yet, but don't Jericho and Clive Barker's Undying qualify?

>>14231619

Jericho was fucking awful, but yes.

>>14231653

>laundry fight

kek. Yeah, DS1 is alright, but I also think that a lot of the horror attempts made it worse. It definitely worked at times.

Subnautica has been scaring the shit out of me multiple days straight.

>>14231653

Maybe it's the xeno in me but,i find some…interest in those.

>>14231781

There are a lot of alien life forms I can see people getting attracted to. Some have their own little xeno charms. Necromorphs are literally reconstituted lumps of human flesh melded together into eldritch style nightmarish abominations. I cannot understand you.

>>14231808

Only if it was sentient

>>14231808

Fuck off tumblr

>>14231767

where's that source port then?

>>14231534

Opinions are a meme. There are only facts, and anything /v/ at large believes is proven fact with evidence to back it up. Even the dumb newfag who's been on /v/ for more than a year can attest to this.

>>14231798

It would kill you though. Like before you got within 100 foot of it you would be dead. Actually the cunt is in the vacuum of space. Your dick would explode if you tried to get it out of the 40 wonderbread plastic bags you were using as a makeshift space suit.

>>14231853

Meh,if we're going by porn logic make some virus up that makes it crave cock and then it'll just be waiting for you to walk up and fuck it.

I'm playing F.E.A.R right now actually and holy shit, this game is extremely easy. Their use of medkits is more liberal than a fucking student at a liberal arts college. I counted over 8 in one big location, when the maximum is 6.

>>14231905

Apparently I got the wrong number, you can carry more than six.

>>14232088

Favorite horror game of all time,hands down.

>>14232014

I believe you can carry 10. It is perhaps the biggest flaw of the game.

>>14231905

how far into the game are you?

>>14232107

The segment with the chopper currently, the first time I have to fight with enemies coming from a chopper. Allowed myself for some rest.

>>14232088

The Suffering was great. I loved the double revolvers and the shotgun.

>>14231568

some scenes were breddy gud tho

like bloody ceiling in the start

>>14232077

since the new captcha on cuckchan

>>14232077

/v/'s opinion of FEAR goes through phases, FEAR's one of these games where its man made gold when you first play it, then you replay it a couple time and the issues/shortcuts they made stick out like a sore thumb and it feels like shit, then you play it some more and you start to accept that although it's not as good as it seems at first glance, its still very good.

It'd be a lot more fun if the automatic rifle and smg didn't feel so awful to use, I wish there was a mod to fix them. I don't mind medkit stuff that much, I've found you can play through the whole game without using medkits (or at least severely limit yourself) and not feel like you've crapped on the level design. I liked the horror, it's not meant to make your hold your eyes shut, mute the audio and hold forward down a corridor while hoping nothing happens, but it lends itself to really good atmosphere and level design beyond "flippable cover here, corridor here, ammo pickup here", I think it's just babby's first (1) and done. They tried to commit more to the horror in FEAR2 and it just got in the way. There were a lot of issues in FEAR1 they "resolved" in FEAR2 and it just made for a worse game in every way.

>Evangelion

That's bullshit though. A better example would be the cyberpunk horror OAVs that I always forget the name of because they made a lot of them in the 80s and 90s.

>>14231767

Blood and FEAR both had the right idea. You can have horror elements without having to commit to dumping on player agency by making you a weak piece of shit at the mercy of whatever that's trying to kill you.

>>14231619

Undying was great, but I got about 10 minutes into Jericho and had to stop. It felt like such a typical mid 360 lifecycle console shooter I just had to shut it off. Awful fov, buggy as hell, miserable grey-brown color palette, no atmosphere or sense of environment design whatsoever, combat felt like shit all over. Completely different to Undying. What am I missing?

Resident Evil 2 was a pretty good horror-themed action game.

>>14245688

I wish necrovision had a coop mode.

>>14245770

That would be nice, all game should have coop modes if possible.

>>14245791

Know any more fun shooters like that which are well meaning and very atmospheric but sort of B grade?

>>14245797

Most other slav FPS would probably qualify, Cryostasis springs to mind as one that still manages to land on the fun side of low-budget.

>>14245882

calling cryostasis fun is really pushing it

>>14245939

I'd say it was fun but I do understand why some fags won't have enjoyed it.

>>14245882

>>14245939

Cryostasis was great. I cried when I defeated kronos and I went back in time and the cute doggos were there again. As far as first person adventure goes it was top of the line,

>>14250538

>crying over a video game

>>14246003

it was clearly broken and became impossible to enjoy with how buggy and how poorly it ran. the mechanics were too simple as well.

>>14250541

But anon the doggos. And everyone was alive in the end and all the horrible things didn't have to happen.

>>14250541

I dunno bud, it ran pretty fine for me

I liked the gunplay, for the most part. it was p solid tbh

>>14250554

the game is notorious for its poor performance because it has no multicore support, physx is always on. I've never seen a soul who can run the game effectively at 60 fps.

>>14250554

as far as the gunplay, having no spread and always having your shots go directly to the center of the screen ruins all challenge the mechanic might potentially have. you were just impressed by in your face animations. sad look tbh.

>>14250577

killing floor had just about the same ballistics, but you don't see anyone shitting on that game bud

>>14250578

killing floor had actual kickback. I'm convinced you never learned about the mechanics or flat out didn't play the game.

>>14250586

my man, getting headshots with the lever action rifle's hip fire was the easiest shit in the world

you're either bad at one of those games or bad at both

>>14250607

you seem not to have figured out that as you fire a weapon in killing floor, the center of your view climbs, making each subsequent shot off target, giving you a force to work against. in cryostasis, each shot has your gun wobbling around, your screen staying exactly where it is, and your framerate dropping because the engine is built by retarded slavs. Try to stay on subject here. Did you fail to notice this is exactly how the mechanic worked in cryostasis?

>>14245761

Is he called Shadowman because he's black?

>>14250544

Grow up.
