It was too much to tie together, all while attempting to offer the same style of gameplay from the original. To try and return to the original game, they also brought Paxton Fettel back. The developers couldn’t ignore where the story left off with the ending between Becket and Alma (and their unborn baby), so they incorporated these elements into F.E.A.R. 3 as straight trash, especially to those walking in with a sour taste from F.E.A.R. Looking back, 2011 was a powerful year for gaming with releases like Batman: Arkham City, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Dark Souls, Gears of War 3, Dragon Age II, and Dead Space 2.Ĭompared to any of those games, it’s easy to peg F.E.A.R. It also had to hold its own against other games coming out that year.

It was expected to return the series to its origins in F.E.A.R., all while mending the misdirection from F.E.A.R. 3 through the mud because it had a lot riding on its shoulders. What it failed in gameplay, level design, and cohesion, it made up for in story. 3, a game with a solid concept that failed to stick the landing. Members of the jury, I stand in defense of F.E.A.R. to following some of the missteps in F.E.A.R. The Defense From living up to the original F.E.A.R. 3 is quite as awful as most people suggest… here’s why. As bad as this sounds (and it sounds pretty damn bad), I still don’t think F.E.A.R. The game didn’t just kill Alma, it killed the entire series. Sadly, things didn’t go quite as planned. Paxton and Point Man joining forces to stop Mama Alma? I was fully on board. I genuinely thought it would reconcile the differences between the first two games based on what was shown in the teaser trailers. Almost a decade later, I cringe thinking about how optimistic I was about the game prior to release. 2’s strange and disturbing ending as a jumping off point, we were given F.E.A.R. 2 after seeing her as a child in the original game but, you know, we’re not here to drag F.E.A.R. I’m still torn over the use of “sexy Alma” in F.E.A.R. 2, you learn more about Alma who begins to present herself differently: older and naked.

In F.E.A.R., you learn the origins of Point Man and Paxton Fettel. 3 (referred to as Point Man), has a backstory as well that connects to both Alma and Paxton Fettel. Meanwhile, the character you control in F.E.A.R. series is that its characters all have fleshed out backstories.Īlma isn’t a creepy little girl for the sake of playing upon tropes found in Japanese horror like Ringu, her presentation makes sense once you dig into Armacham files and learn her tragic backstory. One of the things I loved most about the F.E.A.R. The balance between shooter and horror is executed perfectly in F.E.A.R., though it goes downhill the farther into the series you go, especially when you get to F.E.A.R.

Instead, she’s a presence in the backdrop, popping up at inconvenient moments while you attempt to take down Armacham soldiers and the elusive Paxton Fettel. from 2005 is a horror classic that dared to be different by presenting itself as a shooter where the supernatural antagonist, Alma, isn’t a direct opponent. Previous defenses have included Evolve but this Halloween week it's up to Morgan to defend supernatural shooter threequel F.E.A.R. One of us will come to the game’s defense, while the other two will act as judge, jury, and – in some cases – executioner.
