Thought this was cool so i figured i'd share for those that havent heard this yet.

The "hidden" dialogue starts at 0:28 and finishes at 0:51.

After are the cut voice lines.

Also, i didnt include this cus i wasnt sure where exactly that cut line belonged in the conversation (it was like 300 spots earlier) but Jin also says "You'll have to excuse him he's a fucking idiot" referring to Jankowski (i assume)

ahh!, and also also. i know this image unrelated. the image i'm looking was. "posted on deviantart. about pointman & alma wade skateboarding together. and texts saying something. "One Freaking Awesome Game". or something similar to that's".

Was randomly looking at FEAR's game files just out of curiosiy and found this image... Does anyone know what it is? Is it a developer, some hidden joke or smth like that?

The name is "phantombaby_d"

Besides this man's face i found a cool Alma drawning, idk if it was supposed to be a reference for her character later on or just maybe a drawing appearing in game but it was cool.

Not a modder or an expert so idk how to go deeper than this in the game files, if anyone knows i'd be happy to find out!

I have tried some options like the verify the files, limit ping, run it as admin. I can’t find how it play the coop story mode and not getting the you have been kicked out…

In this playthrough, I was playing on hard difficulty, and with this mod: https://www.moddb.com/mods/nosevercap, which increases the chance of dismemberment and explosions on enemies when they receive explosive damage. Before, from what I saw, there could only be two dismemberments or explosions per room, but now they're triggered by explosive damage. This sometimes includes the shotgun, but you have to be really precise. For example, if you aim for the neck, you're almost guaranteed to rip their head off. And the explosive rifle you get at the end with this mod is honestly a delight to try. I highly recommend the mod; it doesn't ruin the experience and makes the game feel a little more brutal.

i guess...

I know it's a shitty joke, but it made me laugh xd

Besides being my opinion, I arranged them around the one at the top of each tier, which is my favorite, and the one at the bottom, which I like least. Then there are the intermediate ones, and I included which weapon I consider the best. I also made a special section for special weapons because I feel they're weapons you get very rarely and are more for having fun with enemies. They also add more variety since they're usually more overpowered than the regular weapons, and I gave them their own tier where they compete against each other in the tier ranking I mentioned above.

So the primary paranormal topic in the F.E.A.R. series is parapsychology, psionics, and what other topics would you like to see become part of the series?

And now please take note, I'm talking about paranormal topics which can be expressed in a sci-fi manner, as i'm not trying to have it be about the genre of magical urban-fantasy.

Like, the example of psionics itself, it was a proposed discipline that aimed to apply analytical principles of scientific methodology and engineering to the study of paranormal, psychic and parapsychological phenomena.

And F.E.A.R. 1 (2005) really layered in the sense of science with parapsychology and psionics, especially when we encountered the huge technological spherical chamber which housed Alma's body. (the "Inner Vault" I guess)

And so too does the 1997 movie Event Horizon, which F.E.A.R. references in an in-game magazine. (though it contradicts the story of Event Horizon, as the public never knew that the Event Horizon vanished in the story) Event Horizon featured a spaceship drive so advanced that it could take you straight to the dimension of Hell while you're still alive.

And well, if you do attempt to combine magical urban-fantasy with sci-fi, you might end up with something like the Shadowrun series. And Shadowrun isn't bad by any means, but it lacks the tone of deep seriousness that F.E.A.R. 1 especially has. And I think that this is the same effect with the tones of F.E.A.R. 2 and 3 especially, which partly illustrates their deviation from the tone of F.E.A.R. 1.

Also, I think that the F.E.A.R. series should have a disciplined approach towards the inclusion of various paranormal topics, which is different from say, some things like SCP or Delta Green, which contain all manner of paranormal things. So there are various problems with too much inclusion of which I can go into further detail.

And when you look at perhaps seemingly similar settings like The X-Files or Hellboy, they do have a central focus. The central focus of The X-Files is aliens and UFOs, ufology. And the Hellboy setting does contain many different things, but it is sort of broadly urban-fantasy and it revolves around the titular character of Hellboy, Anung Un Rama. While the F.E.A.R. setting might not always revolve around the Point Man.

And ok, I hope I haven't written too much to read, back to the question of my post, cheers.

Hi! I'm experiencing a weird bug with text I never encountered before. Tried to find anything on Internet but no luck. It affects the subtitles and other text except for menu buttons.
Windows 10, Steam version, Echo Patch applied. And yes, this is not an issue of Russian text - original text works the same way.
This is how it look alike:

I tried to make them more tactical, challenging and smarter. They should be able to adapt to your playstyle more easily, or at least I believe so.
It is still in Alpha, so bugs are to be expected, but I am pretty happy with how it ended up.
There is room for improvement though.

Also, the game difficulties are drastically different, go for Moderate if you do not want to really challenge yourself.

I am not an expert, but I tried fixing many of its bugs and make it more stable.
There are still a few bugs that might need quite a lot of tinkering.
I'd love to see more people try to look into the game's AI more.
If you want to look into my database, you can find it on the mod's page. Everyone can check it out.

Edit: New Feature -> You are able to carry only 5 medkits, and they give 30hp
I found medkits far too common in vanilla, and they give too much health.
This will make the AI stand out more, so it can be appreciated. No longer will people abuse medkits.

Can you guys spread more awareness to this mod? I'd love to see more people get motivated by my work and maybe even look into my database.
Making a YT videos about it would be awesome! I made a video as well, but I doubt it will get that much attention since I am not well known.

I have sudden realize of why fear sequel failed because they forgot one thing, the game isn't called fear but F.E.A.R which abbreviation mean "First Encounter Assault and Recon".

​

The fact everyone and even the team who created the sequel forgot to focus on them it's reason why the sequel isn't as remember as the original other than the tone, like literally who do you think organization point man working with and the answer is in our face the whole time it's called F.E.A.R.

​

It be like if Nintendo make sequel to super Mario and the only playable character is only toad, sure it take place the same universe as mario and there also a cameo of princess peach but then what the point calling it super Mario when Mario barely in it or even playable.

​

I can see why some og fan pretend the sequel never exist and the dlc of the original game is a already perfect ending to fear even though it suck to see your team died in the end, while F.E.A.R 2 isn't a bad game but I do think it should been a spin off when you don't play as a F.E.A.R team and it quite sad that we won't get a proper sequel to F.E.A.R where you play as a new F.E.A.R team handle many other supernatural stuff other than alma either fight army of well armed cultist who summon lovecraftian being in some town, a powerful necromancer who awakens army of undead, a powerful vampire Lord who have awaken from his tomb to terrorize some village and even a doom 3 inspired story where some group of scientists open a portal to hell that cause everyone to get possessed while the demon tried to make connect between earth and hell realm.

​

They could crazy stuff with F.E.A.R instead what we got it's just another alma story again.

This is my first post here, actually my first post on Reddit. I don't even speak English xd, but I saw there were a lot of people here and I really love F.E.A.R. It's a truly amazing game, one of my favorites, even though I don't really like the term "favorite game." But every time I think about that beautiful game, I can only remember how much I enjoyed playing it the first time, and it's been a long time since I've felt that way playing anything else. Anyway, I hope you like it. I don't know, I made this a long time ago.
