Playing F.E.A.R for the 1st time and in glorious 3440x1440p!

i'm playing FEAR 3, it's different from all the rest, it's far more modern but it's much harder too, i'm dieing all the time esp against the Phase Commanders.

you can also play as Fettel which is quite good fun, you can possess soldiers or Levitate them up into the air, unfortunately the story is really stupid it has two different endings.

this was the last FEAR game, it's quite sad really because even with it's faults it's still better than modern shooters.
 
Just completed the game for the first time. 22 hours of pure joy (and terror at times). Says a lot for modern games that I want to describe the experience of this game as 'refreshing'. Brilliant story too from what I could pick up - didn't always catch what the guy in my ear was saying when activating the laptops which is my own fault for playing this during the day when the kids were around. Going to read up on the full story behind it anyway.

On to Extraction Point...
 
Yeah, the volume of Rowdy Betters is too low. As for the rest of the game, yes, a brilliant one and my all time favourite story in an fps. Enjoy the next one, I'll be interested to read your thoughts on it, too. :)

I'll be sure to do that. Totally sucked in by it at the moment. I'm trying to play around 10 games at once at the moment (which is a bit stupid I know but since buying the Acer X34 monitor, all the my old games feel like new ones and it makes you want to play through them again at that resolution) but the draw to F.E.A.R is greater than any of the others which includes a few new titles like Just Cause 3 and Fallout 4.

I've lost count of the number of times I've nearly pulled the trigger on buying a new monitor recently. The X34 is at the top of my list. :)
 
The mp was good as well, I remember rounding a corner as someone activated slow motion and seeing an M67 spinning toward my head in such detail, could even see the paint chips on it before it blew me to pieces :cool:

Do it mate! You absolutely will not regret it. And don't be put off with all this talk about IPS panel bleeding and glow - it's completely insignificant and takes nothing away from the gaming experience.

People still plugging 16.9 gaming are to busy defending their 27 inch TN panels costing the same the noobs :p

I bought a dell 27 inch TN Gsync for 500 returned it cause it was pap...the x34 is worth triple it...

Ha. Just played through the 'Holliday' part in Extraction Point. Didn't see that coming at all - it was so awesome I had to reload the checkpoint and watch it again! Just when I was thinking I was becoming desensitised to the scares too...

Yeah, I was a little disappointed when he bit the dust. :( :D I always liked Holiday.
 
Oh FFS! Just **** myself there in the bit with bloody room before you get on to the subway tracks. It's the sound effects and the musical score and my own bloody shadow that's terrifying! Ended up desperately spinning round in circles shooting blindly! lol. Proper chills. Class.
 
I bought and tried this ages ago and it ran like crap. Looking at the steam forums people suggest disabling HID devices to get it running properly. . . wtf doesn't that mean mice and keyboards wouldnt even work? Seems an odd issue and sollution.

Yeah I seen and thought that too. I've detailed some weird performance issues I was having further back in this thread but basically I'm only getting an average of 45 FPS with a Fury X, albeit at 3440x1440 resolution. I didn't bother trying the fixes as its runs beautifully at that speed with freesync but it would be worth for yourself to try and get if running as it's such a cool game.
 
Searching!, Shut the **** up!, We need reinforcements!, Behind the pipe, search the perimiter, he wiped out the whole squad!......................

I just go through it with the shottie, boom!, boom!, boom!, blow em to bits :D
