This game is far too easy

[Dark Light]

Seriously, how consolfied is this game. For starters the default FOV is like 65 and even on hard it is ridiculously easy, I have managed to get almost half way though without ever using a health pack

I thought the first game was incredibly easy, even on hard. F.E.A.R. 2 however, is filled with shotgun wielding, instant killing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Seriously, those shotgun guys are the bane of my existence. I had a Replica Heavy soldier kill me at medium-long range with a single shot, and I had full armor. I smell ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Other than that, you are right. The gameplay in all the F.E.A.R. games was rather simplistic, especially the third one. Hard difficulty in this game isn't necissarily hard. Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying. It's all just trial and error ♥♥♥♥. I really don't know why I'm torturing myself with this game. Maybe it's because I love it so much.

But hey, if you're not having trouble with this game, good for you. Just keep in mind that this game is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nightmare for me because of how many things kill you in one hit.

Just make sure to generously use your slow mo to kill enemies and duck in cover afterwards. If you want a hard game then try beating it without ever using slow mo cause alot of enemies kill you so fast on hard but slow mo has saved my ass countless times.

I'm currently playing through the original FEAR game (and its expansions) on the hardest difficulty and I realized that they aren't really that hard either. Granted, FEAR 2 is still easier overall, but FEAR was never that difficult of a game to begin with.

Fear 2 was balanced to be played with a controller. Are you playing it with a mouse?

I just completed 2 again and found on maximum difficulty it was harder than the original with a lot of enemies single-shot killing me at various points. Medkits are rarer to find and you are limited to carrying 3 instead of 10. Lack of quick save, or in fact any saving ability doesn't help, but it is just a cheap ploy to make the campaign seem longer because you spend so much time replaying from the last checkpoint which gets annoying.

Exactly why i don't mind easy games. I would rather a 6 hour campaign that i enjoy than a 10 hour campaign that gets tedious and repetitive.

Let's see how good you are in multiplayer, huh? :)

[シェービングフォーム]

It's the 2nd time I finish this game on hard and it was another cakewalk.

I was able to fix my FOV and the audio, but yeah, it's far too easy.

Also I rarley ran out of ammo and that's me just spraying with my assault rifle.

Levels are very linear, but it was totally worth $19.99 when I bought the FEAR pack.

Play it blindfolded :-)

[BARRY]

hello, somebody wanna play fear 2 in local multiplayer with more players ? we use hamachi

[Alienware Gamer ALX]

didn t notice slow time key, played with out it

[🅵🆁🅴🅳🅴🆁🅸🅺]

If they disabled reflexes on the hardest difficulty you wouldn't be laughing so much. Even in the original game and the expansions the replicas are incredibly fast.

The game still does have ridiculous spikes at some part. Especially now that you can only carry 3 medkits instead of 10, it does make this less forgiving than the first game if you make a tactical error. I notice someone already said this, but it's worth saying again. The final power armor section is tough too. For some reason I felt like I took more damage from the enemies than I was able to dish out to the same power armor in an earlier section.

I also dislike how they removed the leaning functions.

As said, both games are unforgiving when you try to play them without slo-mo. It's not like Call Of Duty where even Veteran difficulty makes you a bullet sponge.

It's fairly easy even on hard, I agree. However the very last battle becomes extremely tough and frustrating due to how squishy you are

[Powellinho.72]

This game is indeed stupid easy. Even when the game makes all the bad guys super bullet spongey.

i guess thats why its like this, because clearly the AI has been dumbed down since the first game. its a shame, really looked forward to playing it, but its a big let down.
