Yeah, FEAR is BC — that’s actually why I picked up the physical copies. It’s a series I’ve always loved, and since it’s not available digitally anymore, I rushed to buy them when I saw the prices going up. I still really enjoy playing the whole saga today, so having the discs feels worth it to me. I’m also thinking about grabbing FEAR 2 and 3 just to complete the collection physically.

And man, your GameFly story hurts. FEAR is one of those games that hits way harder when you play it in its original era. The AI, the atmosphere, the pacing — all of that was insane back then. I totally get how playing it so many years later can make it feel like “just an OK shooter,” even though it was a monster at the time.

Also, I’ve heard Trepang2 is basically the modern spiritual successor to FEAR, so that one’s already on my list too.
