Slow-Mo made me quit...

[HiSodiumContent]

...because I restarted and spent hours replaying the first level so I could be a slow-mo melee ninja. Once I realized I could sneak up on people, slow mo sprint and drop kick them twenty feet the game went from fun to entirely too awesome. I got burnt out from so much ragdolling ambushing ninja action and I haven't been able to pick it back up because each time I think about playing I just want to drop kick all the guys in the first level.

I'd really like to finish the story at some point, but I know if I start it up I'm just going to go be a ninja some more.

HALP! Wat do?

erm... why first level? it's not like the game has too much variety anyway so just progress and drop kick as much as you can.

keep in mind it will be much harder to do later in the game as there is an increasing chance of getting a face full of buckshot

I've decided I'm going to try and be as ninja-esque as possible on the Extreme difficulty. And by first level I don't meant Interval 1, but Interval 2. Interval 1 is more like a tutorial level :P.

Stupid armor is immune to my bicycle kicks! I wonder if they're immune to having other guys kicked into them? Also, I think I set a distance record last night, at the drop zone at the end of the first level (with the truck that comes in with armor and a couple regular soldiers), I sent someone all the way across that wide area with a slide kick. Also, armors can really jump when you get a spike headshot from a crouch, like 8-10 feet.

I still haven't played any FPS that has been as fun as FEAR sheerly for what you can do with the gameplay itself. This really is an amazing game, so satisfying from sound to visuals when you rush into a group of guys and dispatch most of them with melee. Even dying over and over on the same checkpoint is a blast when I can come back and try to kick everyone again.

If you're that much into kicking I highly recommend you Dark Messiah of Might&Magic )

Oh hey, I got that in the humble bundle a while back. Time to install!

Dark Messiah is a torso kicking masterpiece!

unbind ur slowmo key? Other than certain parts where you're fighting multiple enemies and getting destroyed, i hardly used it.

Is anyone still active in here, that can tell me how to sprint? I remember being able to sprint when I played this like 10-15 years ago, and I love the slide kicks and jump kicks. But I just bought the whole franchise for $12, trying to get some nostalgia, and they seem to have removed the sprint buttons.

F.E.A.R 1 doesn't have sprint. It does have a walk/run toggle though in the movement settings.

if you switch to fists you run a lot faster as well
since fear uses the counter strike logic of 'running faster with a lighter weapon even though you're still carrying the same stuff'

I think it's less about weight and more about the ease of running with said weapon. Pistols and knives allow full arm movement and don't off set your weight as much. tbh you carry more weight in ammunition than weapons lol.

Congrats dude. That is crazy to think about. Sounds like fun!

P.S. Hehe, are you sure that's why you exit it?
