I have. In Silent Hill 2. Another horror game I've played.

How is FEAR 2 not a horror game?

there are scary moments but overall i dont' think fear is that scary.

the moment you give the protagonist military style esthetics the premise becomes more of a horror/gore hybrid than a pure horror game imo.

it's all about playing a fragile protagonist.

Were you in any of the advanced/accelerated/enriched/AP/etc. classes? Those classes tend to not have any troublemakers.

the only relatable thing to anime that was in my precalc class was a desk that had "Evangelion" engraved on it :/

but enough about school. school's for squares

by TopgunUK Fri Nov 02, 2012 1:20 am

School is for squares, watching chinese cartoons primarily set in school is for us cool kids.

by NoblePhantasm Fri Nov 02, 2012 1:22 am

The desk I was sitting at one day had "something something eva" on it. Scribbled "ngelion" next to it.

Why?

Was the actual GAMEPLAY not shitty enough for your low standards?

Too much inventory space?

No save points with limited saves?

No tank controls?

It's really weird when I see people claiming that if the design isn't archaic, and isn't broken and clunky as a piece of interactive entertainment, it's not a "real" horror game.

Bloodshot was great. But they really shot themselves in the foot by putting in so many firearms in the third act.

Well you just proved you don't know shit. Gameplay has nothing to do with a game being genuine horror. What matters, however, is the way each game handles its material. There is "horror" and there is "startling". I must have made this point a billion times before, but shit that jumps at you or makes you watch as it parades its gore-infested monsters and scenery is not "scary". It lulls you into a false sense of atmosphere and then it goes "aboogly-woogly-woo" and you jump out of your seat, because you are a 10 year-old girl. That's your Dead Spaces and Resident Evils.

I didn't even enjoy Amnesia that much, but that was a fucking horror game. Penumbra as well. Those games are light-years ahead of anything current in terms of horror and they play really well. Condemned was damn good, despite the fact that its last third derailed slightly from what it had built. I even liked FEAR as a horror game, because it did things much better than its successor. If you're going to play something that's even remotely horror-themed, at the very least think about what it's doing to have that horror show through. If you're going to label stuff, label it properly. FEAR 2 is a "startling" game, although I'd argue it doesn't even deserve that.
