Fatal Frame?

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

overall unique gameplay, wavering story quality

I see. Searched it up a bit and I saw that the first 3 games were released on ps2. Think I might take a look into the first three games (or at least the very first one) soon.

you can honestly just play 2, it's the one best by far, and it's standalone from the first one so you wont loose anything by not playing the orginal, 3 is just a weak sequel and 4 is standalone and average

Hmm... I think you're using the "decent story" term a little loosely. Honestly, barely any KT games have a decent story. NoA 1 & 2 were passable at best. DOA5 & DOA6 both have atrocious stories to be honest (though I do take story presentation into account). However, those are examples of games where the story aren't really the focus on the otherhand.

@Camel with 2 thumbs Thanks for all the info about the Fatal Frame games. Think I'll play the second game later on today actually.
@Force_of_Nature It's true, KT games usually don't have good stories and they aren't the main selling points of it but I honestly think that NOA's story has potential to be good (I know that it won't happen though).
