Anything really bad about it or just averagely generic?

Jaxon · 10-27-2011, 07:51 PM

It's just very average. I enjoy the FEAR games, and I somewhat enjoyed killing a few hours burning through the third one solo. But it's incredibly short, no-one will be playing the multiplayer, and it's not worth the sale price. If you're looking to play co-op, maybe get it when it's really, really cheap.

***Demi-God*** · 10-27-2011, 07:55 PM

I need to play the first 2 FEAR games too, they're on sale for about £6 for the bundle.

Got 6 free GoG games from PCGamer today.

Jaxon · 10-27-2011, 08:03 PM

Neato.

I highly recommend the first two, first game is one of my favourite FPS, if not games, of all time. Second is decent.

**Mal** · 10-27-2011, 10:35 PM

I was told a while ago by an acquaintance that I must play FEAR, and was waiting for just such a time as this. $6.78 is my kind of price.

Brotherhood has me consumed until HCEA and UMvC3. Is it bad the only games I plan on buying for myself this holiday season is a remake and a glorified DLC pack?

**Mal** · 10-27-2011, 11:37 PM

I am noticing a disturbing lack of Skyrim in that list.

Nerox · 10-28-2011, 01:23 AM

Probably going to get a new monitor as well. My old 17' plasma is not doing the job anymore.

Also, I never played a FEAR game in my life ^^

Shrike · 10-28-2011, 06:31 AM

I'll just leave this here...

Back to fighting the power. See ya when the leaders of Belgrade University fall or I die.

Scream FUS ROH DAH at them.

Nerox · 10-28-2011, 12:35 PM

So, no EA games for me then...it seems, that Origin is breaking german data privacy protection laws. You consent to give EA full access to all your personal data and you allow them to verify products, licences and other stuff. And their "assoiciated partners" get the data as well. So, unless their licence agreement is changed, no EA products where Origin is required.

Fuck you EA for ruining ME3, BF3, FIFA12 and SWTOR for PC gamers.

Jaxon · 10-28-2011, 01:19 PM

Yep, Origin is DRM, spyware, and a terrible online store rolled into one.

Axiom · 10-30-2011, 01:24 PM

^What he said.

Despite what EA did with, what was once to me, the illustrious Origin name. I almost installed the platform. Started reading their terms of service made it to here:

Quote:

2. Consent to Collection and Use of Data.

You agree that EA may collect, use, store and transmit technical and related information that identifies your computer (including the Internet Protocol Address), operating system, Application usage (including but not limited to successful installation and/or removal), software, software usage and peripheral hardware, that may be gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, dynamically served content, product support and other services to you, including online services. EA may also use this information combined with personal information for marketing purposes and to improve our products and services. We may also share that data with our third party service providers in a form that does not personally identify you. IF YOU DO NOT WANT EA TO COLLECT, USE, STORE, TRANSMIT OR DISPLAY THE DATA DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION, PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE APPLICATION. This and all other data provided to EA and/or collected by EA in connection with your installation and use of this Application is collected, used, stored and transmitted in accordance with EA's Privacy Policy located at www .ea .com. To the extent that anything in this section conflicts with the terms of EA's Privacy Policy, the terms of the Privacy Policy shall control.

and promptly clicked cancel. Not sure what other shenanigans they're up to, but the language of the quoted section above was ambiguous enough to turn me off outright. Didn't bother to read on.

That's exactly what people said about Steam at first. Competition is a good thing. Capcom is now aboard the Origin train.

I was never much of an Elder Scrolls guy. I tried it on two separate occasions. Not my thing. I can see why people like it though.

At least they ask, unlike some other companies.
