There's a hilarious Easter egg in the Replica command centre. Remember the way you enter the room, by jumping up on a bunch of crates and going in through a hole? Right, when you're supposed to fine tune the radio, if you don't do anything and just stand around for a minute, one of the other Replica will start asking why there are no doors into the room, complaining about how silly it is. The guy he's talking to keeps telling him to shut up but he keeps going on and on about how tactically it makes no sense, and eventually the other Replica requests permission to shoot the complaining Replica. Permission is granted. Really funny stuff.
I actually liked how this game's DLC had you fight alongside Replica Soldiers even if it is for the first twenty minutes, it actually did feel like something out of Half-Life Opposing Force with the HECU and the Arbiter from Halo 2 when you fight from the Covenant perspective.
all I could think while watching this was a potential 'fear: ghostbusters' where a crack team of elite soldiers have access to the literal Ghostbusters equipment.
Anyone noticing a pattern in the FEAR games? An expansion or two come out that is just as good, if not better, than the game that preceded it. And then the following game just pretends that the expansions never happened, ignore any of the expansions lingering plot threads and come up with their own story that was a lot worse then what was set up in the expansions.
I actually didn't know that Monolith didn't get to make the FEAR3 they wanted to. That actually makes me feel better that they didn't just let the series go to shit but that it was out of their hands. Kinda makes this DLC more sad.. like a look into what might have been.
Since you started this whole review of the FEAR franchise, I was thinking that you’d probably want to try out Cry of Fear. It’s a horror FPS that is deep in symbolic meaning, intense moments of combat, and a genuinely interesting story that deals with really horrific and sad things. It is a slow, immersive Source mod that really is intriguing.
I would recommend you try out Trepang2 some time. People deem that game a worthy spiritual successor to FEAR in a few aspects. Its got a very good combat system and some SCP-based horros in between.
The AI in the OG fear was awesome. Its sick that some of that ended up in the fear 2 expansion. I quit at fear 2 base game, but maybe I'll give the expansion a shot :) edit: wait for summer/Halloween/Christmas sale to buy the fear bundle on steam- I can't remember how much I payed but it was super cheap
Awesome review. I also loved this game despite how short it was. Really interesting way they brought back Paxton Fettel too and playing a Replica was honestly 👌. I wish Monolith had made FEAR 3. What a shame.
Played this a few years back when I bought FEAR 2 on GOG, and while I liked the DLC I found there was a really annoying film grain effect, that even when turned off in the options menu seemed to persist into the game.
Thanks. This just popped up on sale in Steam, and I must have missed it, because it wasn't in my library. The DLC in the franchise have been hit and miss, so I was skeptical, ( and also because I didn't need the whole package) but thanks to you I will give it a try and jump back into this world.
I don't really remember this game but I swear no one ever talks about it. Could you review Project Snowblind? I only recall it being on the original Xbox and it was a pretty fun FPS while not being too original for it's time place.
I’m Glad you doing a review on one of my favorite series. Every time you criticize the game I just agree almost every time. Shame this series will never get the love it deserves. RIP Fear
I'm just going to point out I would have prefered so much more that FEAR 2's story was this, a Replica soldier being manipulated by Fettel to set up his resurrection Seriously if the main game was this instead of what we actually got, it would have at least had a much more unique story
This is gonna sound like blasphemy but I loved FEAR 3 I have nostalgia of playing with my super good friend in middle school playing the split screen campaign
Why wud it sound like blasphemy man? FEAR 3 was pretty good. Problem is people compared it with previous games too much. Cant say i blame them. It is titled FEAR afterall. I liked F3AR a lot. Didnt like some of the weapons(obnoxious looking useless laser weapon anyone?). And playing as Fettel was great. May be if it had better graphics and if they had ditched the ADS..guess it would be better. Thats my opinion anyway.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon I got hyped watching your vid and then realized I was playing a clunkier Halo in claustrophobic corridors. I wish I'd gotten FEAR 2 instead. Demo felt snappier.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon I misspoke. I meant Halo on how you aim down the sights. FEAR 2 felt more intuitive. Not PC Master Race, so can't play the classic right, unfortunately.
That doesn't really make sense either as Halo only had zooms and descopes. It was more of an old style to aim. Any way if you have a PC at all you can play the original fear. It's 16 years old now, all pcs can run it.
I loved the first i enjoyed the second the third was more of an action game than the first 2 but i played them all and i liked all of them. This was like doom 3 and quake 4 doom was just more popular than quake. And again i played both and i liked both.
Extraction Point and Reborn really leave you wondering a lot of "what ifs." What if Sierra had gone ahead with their own Fear 2? What if Monolith made Fear 3? I think the best we can hope for is maybe one day Monolith gets to reboot the franchise, though likely won't be under WB since last I heard WB might be getting ready to shut down their gaming division and divvy up the companies they own. On the topic of Fear 3, I'm especially interested to hear what you'll say about the weapons in that game because honestly that's one of the highlights of that game for me, especially the shotgun which is apparently based on a gun that never left the prototype phase.
I wonder what the hell happened to that petition to add the franchise to Microsoft's backwards compatible list? I'm about to go buy a laptop or a good enough PC just to play F.E.A.R. after giving so many Xbox 360s heat stroke over the years. Lmao
This DLC should have been the main story, The Dark Signal Squad are boring. It should have focused on Fettels rebirth instead. This story was so much better
It also doesn't help that the game has as far as I'm aware two endings and one is exclusive to when you play it with another person, because single player you only get to play as Pointman while in co-op one person is Pointman and the other is what's his name.

why does this comment say "Posted 2 days ago" despite the video being uploaded today?
Another YT glitch?
@@Hyper_Gogeta No he already uploaded the video but had it set to private/unlisted instead of public.
Hey can you make a vid about the black ops franchise from waw to bo2

No shit, no I have to see this for myself.
Jarek: "No hat this video guys, sorry."
Everyone: "Awww..."
*cue sponsor segment and Jarek's wearing the hat*
Everyone: "So that was a fucking lie."
This made me chuckle harder than it really should have xD
But you know what? It was a good fucking lie.
I bought the entire FEAR franchise on steam for 11 dollars... now that's a pretty good deal.
The first one is worth the collection tbh you pay 11 quid will jump on fear 2 and 3 but I can guarantee the one you will come back to will be fear 1.
If you go into this paying for FEAR 1 and its expansions and treating Fear 2 and 3 as free DLC you will be smiling ear to ear!
Really? I had to pay like 50 bucks
@@razinhell4519 There was a really good steam sale for it like a year ago! It was great, except for the third game... I wish I never played it.
"I'd buy that for a... 11 dollars"

the current look suits you best

Pls review operation flashpoint dragon rising
That game had some surprisingly detailed gore
Thanks for the likes
Man I really need to give that one another shot, Red River was so good
I literally forgot about that game brooo
Yeah but the map is so big but the same time it is just so empty
Tbh i like FEAR 3, it fully embraces the bullshit and at least it has a fun coop campaign, and the OST is good too.
I never got to play past 20 minutes of single player. Multiplayer and coop on the other hand were very fun
I have to say that the mech sections in FEAR 3 are really well done. Probably the best part in the game.
I didn't even know this was a thing. I loved F.E.A.R. 2, so I'm now curious to check this out!
The ninjas in Wolfenstein 09 reminds me these in fear

Man I would so cosplay as a replica soldier.
I remember I had broken pirated disc with FEAR 2 and Reborn where only Reborn worked and I played shit out of it

I’d grab it on steam sales when it hits $15 for the whole franchise
Steam Summer sale should be this month I believe, have fun!
I was on the Twitch while you were streaming it :)
Did FEAR 3 have Source cutscenes?
Jarek bald looks so badass on you man :) it sure must help against the heat
I am always agree with you about F.E.A.R. francise
I don’t think I’m gonna make it through this video seeing Jared’s head, gonna make me act up
I don't really remember this game but I swear no one ever talks about it.
Could you review Project Snowblind? I only recall it being on the original Xbox and it was a pretty fun FPS while not being too original for it's time place.
You gonna review Blood sometime?
I’m Glad you doing a review on one of my favorite series. Every time you criticize the game I just agree almost every time. Shame this series will never get the love it deserves. RIP Fear
Blood for the blood God, skulls for the skull throne
Don't worry Jarek, bald guys are always the most overpowered.
Damn we need FEAR 4 man
Coming 2069!!!😂
i think fear should fully embrace the horror elements and go re7 for like one entry as someone just on the ground level of the events of fear 3
Really enjoyed the trilogy but understand the criticism
Please review S.T.A.L.K.E.R
YES PLEASE YES
"Get out of here Stalker"
stalker CHAD sky
Thought about reviewing Tron 2.0? It was also made by Monolith.
Do you will TREPANG2?
Very good analysis
I like you without the hat
Both statements are true
And the next one "FEAR3"
I cant wait for it
I can 😂
I'm just going to point out I would have prefered so much more that FEAR 2's story was this, a Replica soldier being manipulated by Fettel to set up his resurrection

"You don't have the upper hand here"
But you do have....the AWPer hand ;)
Now do one on FEAR 1! Celebrating how good it is!
I already did that
@@Jarekthegamingdragon I thought you only did the expansions? Plus it was so long ago! You should definitely do a new one on FEAR after so long!
@@DNFHistory It was of both fear and extraction point and it was only a year ago. There's nothing more I could add.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon wow! It seems like so much longer hahaha I’ll be sure to rewatch it! Thanks for replying Jarek! Love your stuff!
Huh I didn’t know fear 2 had dlc, apparently it’s not available in my region
Coming off the 360, the FEAR 2 demo played a lot better than original FEAR which felt clunky.
The original F.E.A.R. ports were really bad on console.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon I got hyped watching your vid and then realized I was playing a clunkier Halo in claustrophobic corridors.
I wish I'd gotten FEAR 2 instead. Demo felt snappier.
lol, Fear 2 is WAAAY clunkier than fear 1 even on console. Just go play the original on PC. Also it's nothing like halo, huh?
@@Jarekthegamingdragon I misspoke. I meant Halo on how you aim down the sights. FEAR 2 felt more intuitive.
Not PC Master Race, so can't play the classic right, unfortunately.

I hope for a fear HD collection so I can play all 3 & the dlcs
It was a cool 3 hours xpac, way to short for the price they asked at release
You got 3 hours on it? It was like an hour for me
@@ryanrichards7724 It's been years but yeah, an insultingly short and overpriced expansion. Felt like a scam back then...
No hat = no like. I’m kidding I’m kidding you know I fucking love you Jarek
We forgive you Jarek. So long as the hat comes back out in 4 months.
Looking good jarek
Didnt know this dlc
I loved the first i enjoyed the second the third was more of an action game than the first 2 but i played them all and i liked all of them. This was like doom 3 and quake 4 doom was just more popular than quake. And again i played both and i liked both.
i got scared when i saw the video was 10 minutes long
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah baby ma neighbor bruh im tellin you keep em comin less gooooooo
I was going to buy it when it was no discount but was too late
Red Faction
Dont worry bro im hot too, great review!
But, but, but... the hat? I feel sad.... jk. The hat has just become like your brand.

@@cursedhawkins1305 You can play as Fettel in your second playthrough. Both the endings are shit though.
Alien rage jarek..its a CI game
I'll never get over the stupid title presentation of "F3AR". It's almost as bad as when Eidos were planning on calling Thief 4 "Thi4f"
Wow, i just realized you're bald!
Nothing gets by you
Hah fear TH-camr😂
I'm incredibly tempted to dislike due to the lack of hat but the content is too solid. I will compromise.
Wait no hat?!?!?!?! Yeah I’m leaving a dislike and an angry message
