the demo is actually pretty clever.  It's basically several very different parts of the game glued together to make it seem like one level.

That's one thing that I wish other developers would copy. Monolith did this with the original FEAR and Condemned, good way to show off the game without wearing out any one area.

finished it.  good game, took less than 7 hours to beat.  the ending and general story is distinguished mentally-challenged.

it ends with
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Alma raping you..RAPING YOU...while you are trying to fight for her affection with some other guy through a QTE.  The last thing you see is her pregnant from the rape.

I can't believe they thought it would be a good idea to have a
spoiler (click to show/hide)
naked monster girl rape you as your knocked out.  It's worse because during the final fight you have weird monster rape orgasm flashes.
[close]

Monolith, truly kings of shit stories.

da fuck

surely you jest?

multiplayer is pretty crappy.  I really liked the original FEAR multiplayer, but this is just boring.

da fuck

yeah, it was actually about 4 or 5 vastly different areas of the game put together.  One lame thing about it is that mech battle from the demo is
spoiler (click to show/hide)
the second of two mech scenes.  I remember them talking about how the mech scenes would be pallet cleansers, but it's more like: after every third of the game, enjoy a boring mech sequence that lasts 3 minutes.

there are other small changes from the demo too, like they don't give you the rocket launcher in that area in the full game to make the fight against the laser guy really easy (unless you were well prepared and had one handy).  Another odd thing is that the only area in the entire game that has stuttering is that outdoor demo area.

oh, and with the exception of the very beginning of the game, there aren't as many "scary" stuff as the demo would lead you to believe, usually they're brief and spaced out to now get too annoying.

Just started playing tonight.

I kinda like it!

Graphics are surprisingly good.

Is there really no quicksave?

no quicksaves and I never actually notice their absence.  The one time I died in a shoot out had the game load up to maybe a minute or two before that death.  Checkpoints are all over the place.

Yeah, it hasn't really been a problem. Just weird because right before I loaded up FEAR2 (while waiting for it to download), I was playing through FEAR1 and it's all about the F5. :)

I was just twittering about this fact, but the gunplay here on PC really make this game feel like Crysis -- particularly the ironsights view and DOF, and the "feeling" of shooting enemies with the thudding sound and visual feedback you get. I like it. Very meaty. I might want to try this on 360 just to see how it feels.

I'm also ignoring all the reading material I pick up. Not really interested. Spooks and scares are okay, but don't care about The Ring ripoff story.

The combat is toned down from Fear 1.

I picked up all the things I found, just never read them.  It's still important to search around because you find upgrades to your slow-mo ability.

Spider monsters and ghosts ruin the game even further.

Finished it up.  Good game fo sho, but god they really have to do something about the environments.  I don't care if they want to keep doing corridor crawls, just give me some time with more color and light.  It gets so drab in parts.

It was fun getting raped, even if Cortana had to die.  I still don't understand why they introduced an entire new set of characters w/o explaining anything from the first game.  What happened to the Point Man?  Hopefully in the third FEAR you play as him as he chases Alma with a coat hanger <stolen joke>

...but it feels much better thanks to superior animation and the iron sights view.  The original feels janky as hell.
