A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I’ll never forget I got this game around when it came out, which made me about 11. For some reason I was too stupid to realize this was a horror game based on the name and cover. I just read, “First Encounter Assault Recon”. The first jump scare had me panic unplug my ps2. I later worked up the courage to beat the whole game, which ended up being one of my favorite gaming experiences and got me into the horror genre. I go back and play through every few years on GoG.

That’s wild, I just bought this last night on the GOG sale. I played it many years back and it scared the piss out of me.

If you're more into shooters than horror games, I can mildly recommend f.e.a.r. 3, partly because I happen to hold the world record in the coop speedrun. It's an ok game, though the community likes to pretend it never existed because it's really more of a shooter than a horror game.

Kind of crazy to think that AI in games has never really evolved past this game. In many cases modern games have far worse AI than FEAR,
