Yes, the graphics are dated but the gameplay is absolute fire and it has the best enemy A.I. of any shooter I've played by a long shot. F.E.A.R. is I dare say a true masterpiece of the shooter genre. I cannot think of a single shooter in the last 10 years that comes even close to how good F.E.A.R. is.
It truly is scandalous how game developers 20 years ago and longer were able to create timeless classics that still hold up today (as long as you can get them to run on modern systems) but game developers of today can't even create decent games with completely overblown budgets.
Comparing the diversity of games of the late 90s and 00s with today is truly soul crushing. The shooter genre alone was incredibly diverse. Call of Duty, Battlefield, Counterstrike, Half Life, F.E.A.R., Unreal Tournament, Quake, Crysis, Max Payne, Painkiller, Dead Space, you name it. And don't get me started on the now almost extinct RTS genre.
It really is painful to look back and see how with the end of the 00s the games industry has turned into one big copying machine trying to recreate one smash hit over and over and shitting out abominations that get worse with every iteration until a new smash hit appears and the cycle repeats.
And if shitty gameplay wasn't bad enough modern games also have abysmal performance and blurry, smudgy, shitty graphics with constant ghosting and other artifacts because every asshole uses Unreal Engine 5.
I just want to play good games. Fuck.
Have you ever taken a look at the banner? The person is holding a video game controller.
Ill also say, gaming used to be a nerdy thing, played by nerds, and made by nerds. Gaming is shit now because its completely saturated by normies who make games for children to rape their parents credit card.
When I was a kid I lived in bumfuck nowhere, even when I had a nintendo you can only play the same handful of games so many times. I consumed alot of books as well. In fact I have this insatiable urge to read. Its a shame I dont use my full "potential" but holy fuck man.
I had dreams of visiting egypt, and owning a home and all that shit. But then I was poisoned for a few dollars by some shit head like you that thinks that money is all that matters.
And ive been suffering ever since being made fun of by people who think im just lying for a few dollar payout. Its fucking pathetic and sad, and I hope the world fucking burns lmao.
If jesus existed, humanity didnt deserved to be the saved the first time around. But thanks for your boomer view, its much appreciated. Back when minimum wage could buy you a house and all that bullshit.
