ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
So after hearing the announcement of Fatal Frame V going to multiple consoles, I decided to jump in back to the Fatal Frame series.
I've only complete 2 (PS2) and stopped near the end for 1 (PS3). I picked it up again around mid June. Here are my impressions for I, 3, and 4:
Fatal Frame - Probably one of the most stressful Fatal Frame games due to only having one difficulty, lots of RNG ghosts, and in the end an RNG ghost who is difficult to kill (the monk ghost). Environment is very creepy and immersive.
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly - I don't know much about this (last time I finished this was 15 years ago), but what I do remember is getting scared by killing multiple ghosts. I was probably less scared here than FF1.
Fatal Frame III: The Tormented - I stopped midway in my first run because I got too scared to proceed one part (no camera and you need to hide from ghosts). I mustered up enough courage and used a guide to get me going. It's fortunate that I did use a guide because the map is confusing (and repetitive) and most of the items need to progress through the story are very scattered. The story is pretty good though. I did like the house hub becoming slowly haunted (but not as haunted enough as Silent Hill 4's hub). Good thing there's an easy mode too.
Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Ecluipse - Tbh, this feels like a streamlined Fatal Frame game wherein there are no random battles, it's more linear than 3, and there's an easy difficulty. My favorite part is probably the usage of a flashlight instead of the camera because of unlimited ammo, lol. My issue here with this game is the controls because it's heavily reliant on the Wiimote. If they ported this game to other consoles, it's going to be probably the most accessible Fatal Frame game because of its semi-linearity and no RNG encounters. Ghosts definitely look scary than the previous FF games.
What are your thoughts on the other Fatal Frame games? Also any impressions on Fatal Frame 5?
