I liked DOA5's story. Presented us some character growth, mainly from Kasumi and Ayane. Most characters have decent reasons to participate in the tournament or had decent reasons for doing what they did in the story, liked how they made Helena the head of DOATEC which acts as a counterforce to Donovan's Mist. The only super underwhelming part of DOA5's story imo was the final boss.
@Camel with 2 thumbs Damn, forgot about the Fatal frame games completely. Haven't played any 1 of them. How good are they both story and gameplay-wise?
Story wise it's up and down, the first one is mainly responsible for introducing the very unique gameplay of using a camera to defeat ghosts, but the story is completely forgettable. 2 is very good and has a fantastic story, 3 is just okay mainly cause it's a continuation of 2, and 4 is just kinda meh
