F.E.A.R. 3 vs Homefront: The Revolution
F.E.A.R. 3
F.E.A.R. 3 definitely upped the notch by providing players with two incredible characters to play as - either Point Man, a genetically-enhanced soldier with superhuman reflexes and can manipulate time; or the undead spirit of his brother, Paxton Fettel, who wields amazing psychic powers. The AI in the game is as sneaky as ever, forcing you to have heightened combat awareness or you might just get attacked from behind. You can also pilot an enhanced mech in this game, which is always an awesome thing to do.However, many fans of the series feel that the story has been drawn out way past its lifespan and that the story in this installment is just underwhelming. There are also several major plotholes which just further messed up the story. Not to mention, the gunplay in this game seems to be a much-watered down version of its previous games.
So, if you're a hardcore fan of the story, you might still want to get this game while it's on offer just to enjoy some of the better parts of the plot. But if you're a newcomer, you might want to look to its first or second game instead.
Homefront: The Revolution
Homefront: The Revolution is the latest installment in the Homefront game series and this time around, the game features an open-world set in the war-torn suburbs of Philadelphia. In this game, you'll be expected to lead your own Resistance cell in an occupied and oppressed USA, and hopefully, through your team's guerilla actions, bring hope to the people and possibly give rise to a revolution. Despite the odds, you'll need to build bases and safe-houses for your Resistance fighters, recruit more revolutionaries to your cause, craft a variety of guerilla tools as well as capture an arsenal of better weapons from the enemy. Although there isn't a multiplayer mode in this game, you can play cooperatively with your friends to assemble a resistance that will earn the respect and adoration of other revolutionaries.Homefront: The Revolution may start out looking like a cut scene-laden game, but once you've gotten through the first 2 hours, you'll find that the game isn't at all that bad. It may not be comparable some of the most epic open world shooters out there, but it's still a pretty decent game, especially if you like the idea of building up a resistance cell rather than being the one stomping out the resistance.
