More gaming.I've been playing F.E.A.R on the pc.
I'd read some rave reviews about it, though couldn't actually remember what it was they'd said was so good... but bought it anyway, coz I found it at a bargain price.
So... graphics? Nothing special. No better than Half Life 2, and not even close to Far Cry or Doom 3.
Scary? It's supposed to be, but in all honesty, it hasn't made me bat an eyelid yet.
Guns? Oh baby!!!
It's not that the guns are any bigger, fancier or cleverer than in any other game. It's the sound, and the way they handle. You really feel like you're shooting a gun.
AI?
Oh my, oh my!!!
You know how on some games, the bad guys are kinda predictable? They either do the same things all the time, or run away... or charge at you. Some behave a little more logically, as if they're actually displaying an ammount of thought, but then you realise they're limited... like they stay in a certain area, and never leave it.
What you'd never expect to happen is to go from an indoor scene... load up the next bit, which is an outside area, go through the doors, shoot at the bad guys... turn around and run back inside, and have them come in after you when you hide around the corner inside.
That's exactly what happened tonight. They came in after me, split into groups and cornered me.
Very, very impressive, and the best gaming shootouts I've ever had.
Still not scared yet though. Maybe that comes later.
