Wow, for a game that got 2 stars from Ryan, this quicklook sure was lacking in the hate.  Unlike DNF.  Hate makes QUicklooks more fun. 
And what is up with the pointing out of the menus.  I guess he is trying to show that the game is multiplayer oriented, but I appreciate when a game has a countdown timer in case I fucked up choosing a game mode.  Then I don't have to wait for the wrong thing to load back out and load the correct thing.  Halo does that and no one complains.  The evolution of menus.

I came in here for a FEAR 3 quicklook and didn't see any FEAR. What happened??

Also Ryan did fucking horrible. For the 35 minutes of watching that video he didn't use slo motion once and must have gotten lost 3-5 times. You cannot make this game more linear then it already is, and yet he is getting lost.

Ryan has always been pretty terrible at games

Doesn't look that bad, actually.  Gonna give it a try.  Granted, my standards are probably lower than normal after having gone through Duke Nukem Forever, but I found it to be a fun enough looking game, definitely one to play at the higher difficulty levels.

The gunplay doesn't look FEARish at all. That was the best part of these games.

Now this looks like a generic shooter.They could;ve really worked hard on the scares,like they did in the Condemned series.

Ryan is fine at games. He just knows when the game doesn't touch him that way (almost imediately) and so he doesn't try... or even care. Imagine if you played games all day every day, and found yourself playing a game of lesser quality in all ways from what you are expecting. Still you had to do a QL. You would make this QL. I like Ryan because he is truthful in his play style.

Gs Ryan is quite bad at this game or at least he makes the game look less fun than it was.

homefront, breach, brink, crysis 2, singularity, killzone,; don't we already have enough shooters like this? I'd rather they kept it like the previous titles and have it tagged for not bringing new ideas to the table.

I don't understand why many people think that this game is awfull. I think it's good, though I agree that the gory, spooky and terror atmosphere isn't all there like in Fear, at least. But still, despite looking like "another modern shooter", it isn't that bad. The graphics looked nice (in PC it should be even better), cover mechanics and the weapons are good. The co-op with different characters and abilities as well looks really interesting. Don't understand the hate...
Haters gonna hate. The co-op looks good, shame they didn't shown the online multiplayer.

@bulldog300: Brink really wasn't much of a military shooter or like the others you mentioned but I get your point.

Fear 2 on PC looks better than this. I can't wait till this game goes on sale on steam. Christmas sale is just around the corner!
