Thinking about picking one up, as I do not have the money to get more than one. Please answer by judging by the overall game, not just "one was scarier so it is better"

I found the first expansion for the first game to be the best because i found it scarier :) Its called F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point

The first one. Without a shadow of a doubt. You won't get any of the other games without playing it, as well.

And personally, I don't find F.E.A.R. scary. But I don't find games scary at all, so there.

Clearly the First, second was still good, third, in my opinion, was horrible.

I don't think any were "scary" - Second one gave few chills here and there, but don't really expect much more than that.

the first one was perfect ~ sorry i cant conjure up the energy to fully describe it but it looks like its pretty agreed that fear 1 is the best in the series.

Fear 2 is one of my favourite games. It depends on what you're interested in.

I had never played a F.E.A.R game before, I like scary parts, but also a lot of combat and action at the same time... I heard FEAR 2 did a better job with that? Cause it seems to me that fear 1 was more scary but had a lot less combat

Incorrect. First F.E.A.R's enemies had really great AI (and best out of the trilogy), e.g. they don't just camp behind covers and shoot when you approach. They're always on the move, they will search different ways to get to you, so you will often be attacked from behind. You're usually outnumbered, so why should your enemies hide like they usually do in other games? AI is really smart and even the easier difficulties are challenging. There are various types of enemies, but you'll usually fight the common soldiers.

F.E.A.R 2 and 3 games are way more straightforward. You just have to go towards your next objective and kill all your enemies easily. And repeat.

People usually find F1 scarier than F2 and F3. The thing is, that F1 is more about "jumpscares", you never know when Alma (the main antagonist) appears, though later you'll get used to them. F2 is more about Alma, she's always around and you know that, it feels like she's more dangerous and becomes serious thread. It's less scary, more... thrilling.

The 1st without a doubt. Played through it twice. Fear 2 is alright but fear 3 sucks. Fear 1 had the atmosphere the others couldn't capture.

^^ I agree completely. First one was great. If you enjoy that, then maybe think about getting 2, you can skip 3 unless you really want to finish the story.

1st one, I am sorry but if anyone says 2 or 3 I would be confused, honestly it got dumbed down, lost scares, atmosphere was worse, AI was worse, graphics are even worse if you ask me, compare the particle effects in 1 to 2....you will see what I mean.

That said 2 and 3 aren't bad games, probably still better compared to most new shooters.

Fear 1, it is pretty good.
On the other hand, if you have a pal(or two) and want some good coop fear 3 is not a bad coop experience at all.PLUS multiplayer modes "Horror Henry" and "Contractions" are incredibly good and really enjoyable.Better than other similar game modes in other games.The best we ever did in contractions was 17 rounds in 3 players, will try to see if we do better in 4 soon.
