I agree but you at least had the chance of the series coming back to quality after 2.
After 3 the FEAR franchise is now effectively doomed to be bargain bin leftovers that give birth to shit like "FEAR ONLINE", a korean-made FTP FPS that makes you want to fucking kill yourself because it mixes assets from 3 different games from 2 different console gens over a decade with totally different art styles.
After FEAR 2 the series was on life support, but FEAR 3 irrevocably nailed the coffin.

F.E.A.R has top tier level design, it's why the combat and the A.I feel good.
You're mixing up level art design with level design from a gameplay perspective.
F.E.A.Rs levels are bland as shit, but their design is really good, it's part of what makes Extraction Point better the original.
Why you can literally get the jump on and flank Replica and the reverse with the last
>It has flaws
Of course it has flaws, the more open sections are pretty shit aside from the garage, the first section on Armacham is overstays it's welcome, hitscan makes plenty of deaths feel unfair, the aforementioned bland environmments, Heavys and Drones aren't satisfying to kill.
F.E.A.R is still a top tier game, especially for the time it was released flaws and all

When there's a combat going on, the level design feels good indeed, but exploration of the levels felt so much like utter garbage.

What exploration? When you're not railroaded by a quick ingame cutscene you're fighting.

It doesn't, the blood is a vivid red jelly instead of the massive darker red blood spurts from 1, the only thing F.E.A.R 2 has going for it is a bigger mess that still looks like shitty jam

It's a shitty game with mouse acceleration, airsoft sounding weapons and worse weapon and enemy damage feedback than the first.

It's already linear. When does the game split up other than to serve as flank routes for the gunfights?
>The blood puff looks shitty.
Wow what an experienced and well thought out objective post.
Fear 2's blood is like the other anon said, it looks like cartoon jelly. The mist from Fear 1 looks more convincing as blood. It sticks to walls along the direction of bullet trajectory and rewards close range shots with puffs of mist which is much more fun to run through than Fear 2's excuse for a kill.

What the fuck is this thread?
FEAR 1 wasn't about the horror. You don't keep playing because of the story, and you don't keep killing replicas because you enjoy the horror aspects between the fights.
FEAR was a good (horror)SHOOTER. The horror aspect was much more a setting that allowed for interesting enemy designed (graphically speaking) and tight spaces (for level design/AI/game flow).
I would have played a FEAR game in any setting. tfw no scifi space FEAR with gravity mechanics and jetpack fights in slomo

Pretty much, F.E.A.R 2 is a piece of shit that doesn't expand on the first at all and even less, downgrades everything to fit it to consoles.

There's one thing where you can clearly see F.E.A.R 2 fucked up is trying to play it without using slowmo.
in both 1 and the expansion it's actually a very enjoyable experience minus a few fights, but you do have to actually get a proper strategy in many fights and not just memorize where stuff is.
In 2 on the other hand it boils down to dumb pure memorization almost everywhere and the last fight of the game isn't even completable without the plasma gun and a rocket launcher to abuse AoE damage.
