So you get the original game and the two expansion DLC's, a lot of content there and it's a very unique and cool FPS! A true classic with some of the best gun play and A.I. to date. Plus really spooky atmosphere and a bit of horror thrown in makes it a quite intense experience. I really dig this one and it's an absolute bargain for 2 bucks!

"Humble Bundle is two cents cheaper. TWO CENTS!!!" Plus you get the Steam key for those who would prefer (Thanks Cheap Gamer and Agret)

17 Years old now, but I still think it's better than a lot of newer games and definitely offers something that feels different to the often homogenized modern FPS experience.

Can be modded to make it look a lot more like a modern game too, some have even added ray-tracing if you have a card that supports it, looks pretty good:

      Sure is! It's a shame they don't sell it separately on Steam anymore (only in the big bundle) but even still, I think the bundle is only about 10-15 dollars when on sale.

    Classic. I replay this game every couple of years.

      You know a game is something very special when you just keep playing it for years.

      I also have a similar relationship with Max Payne 3, Hitman: Absolution and also Jedi Knight Outcast, TRON 2.0 and Thief II, oh and of course the masterpiece that is Return to Castle Wolfenstein! Quite a few others as well, because just like a classic movie you can play them again and again because they are just so epic and still have not been topped.

        Absolutely, man. I'd rate it up there with one of my favourite all time FPS titles. Peeking over corners, bullet time mechanics, extensive weaponry arsenal, advanced enemy AI, awesome melee attacks… For a 2005 game! Nothing more satisfying than using the needler to target limbs and make a human pincushion 🙂

            @teddiebear: Wolfenstein was my earliest FPS gaming memory, on a 386. PC speaker for sound fx made it very creepy. Still my all time favourite but I don't play it much anymore.

              @Windows7forever: The modded version of original Wolfenstein really enhances things and makes it more fun these days too. Same with modded Doom, still great games today especially if modded

            • teddiebear on 05/09/2022 - 06:10

              @Windows7forever: In the original, i still remember the cheat/code for all weapons, infinite buĺlets and full health…. ILM pressed at the same time.
              The boss dude at the end before the tunnel, took nearly everything you had! Ohhh the corny sound fx, blocky figure, brings back many good memories lol

    • wonderboy4 on 03/09/2022 - 05:35
      +3

      yeah, quite a ways back now but I still think it holds up today, especially with the Hi-Res texture packs. I even saw the developer talking about how the A.I. was very advanced at the time and even now it's on a level that surpasses most FPS.

      • ShannonN on 03/09/2022 - 05:37

        you are probably right but having played it to death you kinda remember where x is going to happen and Alma is going to pop up etc then you have to spend time adding texture packs etc

        • wonderboy4 on 03/09/2022 - 05:47
          +2

          oh yeah, I know what you mean. Sounds like you had a lot of fun with this one back in the day! I only played through it once maybe twice and I'm not sure how much of the DLC I did yet. So I'm keen to have another go and check out a couple mods too.

    I used to use Russia GOG to for pricing, looks like Chile might be a good replacement.

    This game doesn't age, it was very good when it came out.

    • wonderboy4 on 03/09/2022 - 18:01

      You need a VPN to get the cheaper codes sold on those sites? Is it a big price difference usually?

      • Jimbuscus on 03/09/2022 - 18:04
        +2

        Yes, I use the VPN Unlimited deal, but you also need to clear the cache for gog.com in your browser and log in with the VPN on for the region to stay changed throughout checkout.

        I have bought dozens of games via Russia on my Australian GOG account over the last couple years. They are region free and downloadable on my AU login client.

          Thankyou! And for explaining details too👍 I'm guessing you can save a pretty penny this way 😃

          I wonder if something like this can work for Steam?

          • Jimbuscus on 03/09/2022 - 18:19
            +2

            @wonderboy4: I wouldn't consider doing that with Steam, don't mess with regional VPNs with your Steam account.

            GOG is a completely different story with using VPNs. With Steam you can buy region free keys via third party websites, almost all accept PayPal. I have mainly been using Eneba, which is good at making it clear if the Steam key is usable on an Australian Steam account.

            You can find more grey keysite options via a website called AllKeyShop.

            For Xbox, I buy Xbox Argentina game keys from Eneba, but activate via redeem.microsoft.com with a VPN. That one is painful and slow, takes many attempts before it gets through.

              +2

              @Jimbuscus: Thanks for the tip in regards to Steam, I just thought maybe could gift them to myself somehow. But yeah wouldn't want to have any issues with my account.

              Great to know it works with GOG, I've noticed on some price history websites that other countries get some crazy low prices sometimes, so this could be handy, cheers.

              Yeah, I have gotten many keys from Eneba and never had a problem. Yeah their site is really easy to use, much better than some others, I always prefer to use them if I can.

              I don't have Xbox but it's good to know that there is a way to do cheaper keys for it.

              • Jimbuscus on 03/09/2022 - 18:32
                +2

                @wonderboy4: You can't gift from a Steam region, to a cheaper region, also buying between multiple Steam accounts is a ban risk.

                There are plenty better prices from keysites, it's not worth messing with Steam directly.

    This is just one of 2700+ games discounted up to -93% off, in the ongoing 'The GOG Sale' promo event that was posted over a week ago

    e.g. you could find F.E.A.R. Platinum listed near the top under The GOG Sale > Bestsellers collection

  • justtoreply on 03/09/2022 - 12:06

    I played fear 1-3 without the nostalgia (maybe 6 or 7 years ago) and thought it was just passable. Expectations too high i think.

    • cille745 on 03/09/2022 - 13:56

      Only the first one is excellent, 2-3 weren’t good at all

      • Windows7forever on 03/09/2022 - 15:28

        Agreed. Fear 2 and 3 were competent shooters but 1 is superior.

    I played F.E.A.R. with 7.1 EAX HD sound back in '05. Gun battles were intense and the rest of the game felt so eerie.

    • wonderboy4 on 03/09/2022 - 18:05

      7.1! That sounds epic, great sound really elevates a game to new levels

      • Lonewolf1983 on 03/09/2022 - 15:57

        Not sure how it would look on a 4k monitor though
        Suppose is cheap enough to try

    One of the greatest fps games ever - close combat in office spaces is sensational.

    This game has aged extremely well and its replayability is definitely there.

    Here's a plus 👍

    • wonderboy4 on 03/09/2022 - 18:07

    I tried playing F.E.A.R. again last year on my 4K monitor. It would run well to begin with but then the fps get increasingly choppy the longer I played. I would have to quit the game and restart it to get it back to being smooth.

    A memory leak maybe?
