AlKim: Also, I know F.E.A.R. does a poor job at explaining what's going on, but that's kind of the point: Point Man is isolated from the outside world and he gets very little first-hand information.
Indeed, that's why the little information you find is valuable and really adds to the experience.

AlKim: In the sequels, the veils of mystery have been lifted but nothing makes sense even then.
While you gain more knowledge of what really happened, you still got the big picture from the first game so I don't see how the veils of mystery could have been lifted anymore than the ending of the first game did. That some things don't make sense is an important part of isolation-stories in my opinion otherwise it just becomes another straight-shooter story that requires the hero to go from A to B to C and then it ends coherently. I guess one could describe it as 'too easy' if a story leaves the person completely satisfied.
Frightful giveaway Licurg! Never played any of the F.E.A.R. games so count me in mate. Thanks!

Licurg: Aw come on, it's not that bad. It was very violent, which is a plus for me
Not for me, though. I don't mind violence, but because violent games are abundant these days I won't give any points for that. I could take some off in some cases, though.

Licurg: the single-player campaign is at least original
So is doing brain surgery with a pink chainsaw while looking through two drinking straws superglued to your eyes while riding a space hopper on top on of an experimental jet-engined pogo stick, but that doesn't mean you should make a game around the concept, especially when it should somehow be logically connected to F.E.A.R. of all things. I've got very few recollections of F.3.A.R. - thank goodness - but I recall the campaign not being very different from that of its predecessor, which, again, is a point against the game as far as I'm concerned.

Licurg: and the multiplayer is fun.
I play very little multiplayer games in general. Alright, I can't imagine how co-op could possibly make F.3.A.R. any worse, but I hated the single player so much that if you forced me to choose between playing the co-op or having a lobotomy, I would spring under the knife in a heartbeat.

I don't mean the co-op, I mean the other multiplayer modes, like "Fucking Run", which is tons of fun. You should consider giving them a go, you won't be disappointed.
I've never played FEAR so I'd love to be entered in the exceptions list. :)
I actually enjoyed FEAR 2. I have FEAR 3 sitting on steam waiting to be played someday. FEAR 1 and expansions were very good, but if you play FEAR 2 as an ordinary shooter (and forget the whole fear thing) it's not bad. More MW2 than FEAR actually.

Not in, but thanks!
.......really? 100+ rep minimum? Well if I'm on the exceptions list, I'm in. If not, oh well.
