I played Nightmare House 2, and I thought it was a very well-made modification for a game. However, the "random" freaky stuff got less and less random, considering there was practically ALWAYS something random and freaky happening. Not to mention that every other side-room you enter locks itself, to allow the girl to flash in front of you YET AGAIN, whispering something incoherent. It became not-random very quick, and very irksome. Also, I noticed a lot of inspiration from other games in this. The biggest one is definitely FEAR, but who else thought that the "creepy zombies" looked sorta like the Hunter? RE: Nightmare House 2 - Sexbad - 08-31-2010 There were sounds from Penumbra here and there, so I wouldn't doubt that the Hunter had some role in the enemy design. Yeah, the horror did get stale after a while. The beginning was simply great, especially Spoiler below!
Also, Condemned sucks in nearly every way. RE: Nightmare House 2 - Dr Bob - 09-03-2010 (08-28-2010, 10:48 PM)Klayman Wrote: A new mod for Half-Life 2: Episode 2 was released not long ago.

If you are scared by Nightmare House 2, then you will probably be scared by games like F.E.A.R. - action-oriented games with elements of horror. In my opinion, Nightmare House 2 wasn't scary at all and the horror attempts were usually laughably copied from games like F.E.A.R. If Frictional Games ever play this mod for inspiration, I will stop buying their games. Period.

But if you mean encounters with that plastic-looking dead girl, then I really do disagree with you. More kinds of enemies usually means less variation in the way they attack and behave. And this is true for Nightmare House 2. More enemies in levels means more slow-moving zombies shuffling towards you as you casually blast them in the face. Horror. There are less loading screens purely because of the different engine architectures. I'm not even going to comment on the last point.

I played F.E.A.R. for one hour and I liked those horror elements but I had some trouble with combat. Maybe those horror elements were copied from F.E.A.R but I never completed that game so most of those events were new to me. I don't want Frictional games to make a horror game that is combat oriented. I meant other things like... Spoiler below!

I did not found that very scary too. Spoiler below!
I did not found those regular encounters with slow zombies very scary. Those fast bastards were much better (09-03-2010, 08:46 PM)Dr Bob Wrote: There are less loading screens purely because of the different engine architectures.True. "-More "WTF???" moments" I wanted to say with this that in NH2 were more events that surprised me. I am sorry if I did not write something clearly. I don't speak English very well.

I just finished playing this mod and in my opinion it is better as horror game than Penumbra Overture or Black Plague and this is why: I downloaded this and played for a bit...It was pretty much Half Life 2 with FEAR components. I love the source engine and had many hours of fun playing Day of Defeat, counter strike, HL and HL2. But to compare this game with Penumbra Overture or Black Plague is just wrong. That's just my 2cents...Have fun playing Half-Fear =) RE: Nightmare House 2 - zlandael - 09-27-2010 I loved this mod since it had a huge load of easter eggs. Spoiler below!
