Gotcha. Important distinction.

I haven't seen AI as relentless as FEAR's since then. In most games it takes ~1hr to find the AI's blind spots (both in 'visual' detection and brainpower) and form a strategy around it. In FEAR every encounter was different every time. You constantly had to adapt and be ready to rush an enemy at a moment's notice because they would force you into the open. It was awesome and added a lot to the stressfulness of the game.

and the scary parts were so scary.

That ladder
