I agree on the ending thingi. God damn, when will gamedevs ever learn to do proper endings?!

Leaving an open end just to do a sequel aint the way to go.

I stopped following the FEAR series after the first game, so I'm not dying for a conclusion or will play this installment, that's why I also just watched the ending on youtube and I must say - it is not that bad! Just not the ending some people might hope for (after FEAR 1 and its two expansions). The Monolith guys really seem to be pulling all strings in terms of horror, really some of the best polished effects and in-game cutscenes I have seen, but I've never found the story that compelling...and the gameplay doesn't seem to offer much new either.

The ending was messed up indeed, I had no idea what was going on until I looked up stuff on the Interweb, Monolith have sick minds!

Anyway, they did a good job on the game, more colours, lots of variation in environments (the ruined streets were jaw dropping at times), good enemy variation as well. The original is still much much better though, the colours are too bright in PO and it kinda spoils the dark grittiness of it, and the AI is dumbed down for some reason, even on hard it wasn't as challenging as the first game.
