F.E.A.R.: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

''[[Fun with Acronyms|First Encounter Assault Recon]]'' (F.E.A.R) is a special operations unit working for the United States government. Their purpose: [[Who You Gonna Call?|to deal with paranormal threats to national security.]]

* [[Back Stab]]: In both games, shooting an unaware enemy typically results in an instant kill. This doesn't work on the [[Giant Mook]]s, though.

** ''F.E.A.R. 3'' lets you pull off an actual Back Stab, either with the Point Man's knife or Fettel's psychic attacks.

* [[Bad Boss]]: The Phase Commanders in FEAR 3 who, among other things, threaten "dismemberment"(!) if their orders are not carried out.

* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: {{spoiler|Project Origin allows Aristide to try to get her job back, and Alma pregnant with who is essentially the Anti-Christ. Yeah.}}

'''Chen''': ''That'' was an accident. }}

* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: A lot of the environments seem to be designed to facilitate gameplay more than for their ostensible purpose. At one point in the first game, Point Man has to climb up a ladder in an elevator shaft, which leads to a closet, which leads to an office area. The doors are all unlocked, meaning that anyone can just mosey into the closet, misstep, and then fall to their death.

* [[Not So Different]]: By the end of ''F.3.A.R'', Fettel's motivations are not dissimilar from Harlan Wade's, with him echoing Wade's line regarding them becoming "like gods." It is hinted that {{spoiler|the "ghost" of Fettel might just be an amalgam of the darker aspects of Fettel's personality and memories and given form and purpose by Alma's powers, like the Creep was for Harlan Wade's memories and personality.}}

* [[Obvious Pregnancy]]: {{spoiler|Alma at the end of ''Project Origin''. To put it nicely, the end of the game has some unfortunate implications. In short Alma is quite obviously pregnant mere seconds after raping Becket. May be an aversion of the [[Law of Inverse Fertility]] since Alma clearly wanted the child and one can assume Becket didn't. This could quite possibly lead to the [[Endofthe World As We Know It]] since it's implied that Becket is close to if not at least as powerful a telepath as Alma, making their child an insanely powerful psychic being. Possibly justified as Alma is a psychic and her being obviously pregnant could simply be an illusion to show off the fact that she is.}}
