F.E.A.R. Reviews

JESUS THE LAG,JESUSSSSSS IT'S NOT EVEN CANNON BUT OMFG THE LAG

classic

good expansion

its a good fps and somewhat horror game

Had fun, but wish I could fully make it go widescreen.

8\10 Good DLC, with enough new content that it's a little shorter than the main game

O jogo crashou várias vezes, o frame rate despenca pelo menos uma vez por missão, e é muito fraco em termos de história. As duas DLCs de FEAR são uma timeline diferente da abordada pelo FEAR 2 e 3, tanto que o desenvolvedor é diferente daquele que fez o jogo original. Recomendo pular direto pro FEAR 2 caso queira continuar a história da mesma forma que o jogo original, pois o desenvolvedor permanece o mesmo. Essa DLC é mais tapa-buraco com muitos defeitos de jogabilidade.

Extraction Point was the first of two expansions developed for the original F.E.A.R. by Timegate Studios (creators of the Section 8 series) while Vivendi still held the FEAR license, and both were later retconned by Monolith with the release of F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. Despite a laundry list of bugs related to the game's age and status as an outsourced product, it plays well enough. While not well remembered in comparison to the original F.E.A.R., Extraction Point offered a few hours more of that game's great combat, with more dangerous fights, new scares and yet darker atmosphere, and two powerful new weapons, a continuous-beam "Laser Carbine" and one of the chunkiest-sounding miniguns I can remember, as well as a useful mini-turret item that can be thrown like a grenade and stuck to walls. It featured new enemies and locales as well, though some of the maps are more barren in terms of props, comparatively lacking that "lived-in" feel that characterized the base game's design. Moreso, Extraction Point's sound design and equalization are all over the place compared to the base game. I'm not sure whether Timegate just didn't have the same level of expertise with the engine or what, but that would not be surprising given what I have heard about Lithtech and its problems. Certain sounds and music tracks are painfully louder then others, and the gamma slider doesn't seem to work at all. In addition, for whatever reason this version of Extraction Point can't be rendered in widescreen normally, where the base game and Perseus Mandate can. This can be fixed by editing a text file in the directory. But that was just the beginning of my technical issues. Extraction Point is difficult to get working properly on modern systems, and harder still to stream, apparently. I attempted to use the same FPS fix on this expansion that I used in the base game, only to discover that I just gave me a black screen on startup. I implemented a fix for that (toggling a certain option in Windows Compatibility settings) only to discover that this likely prevented the game from showing up via OBS in any capacity, coming out once again as a black screen- even in display capture, which is something I've never seen before ever in my time using OBS. I was forced to use another workaround, forcing the game to run in a window so OBS could pick it up using Window Capture- only to discover that THIS fix somehow invalidated the one i was using to fix the framerate issue, forcing me to periodically restart the game. Altogether, while attempting to stream this game to Twitch, the myriad of problems stretched a 3.5 hour game into over 5 hours. In short, Extraction Point is so janky that it's almost funny, but it is still a F.E.A.R. game and fun to play.

- unoptimize infact for some levels you need to down your graphics to lowest so that it dont crash anyway the game crashes a lot by the message OUT OF MEMORY or DISCONNECTED FROM SERVER plus the game crashing reaches a peak at final level - well the game story is fine
