mrpati's review of Fatal Frame.

dont know the exact year i played this for the first time, it was a ps2 iso and my save was on ps3's virtual memory card. i've deleted the games that are on psn and fatal frame was one of them. psn games create a whole new memory card for games and you cant import your save file from another memory card, at least i couldnt find it. so i didnt care, i was so okay with playing this games from the very start. i was hyping myself for past several days and today was it! schnitzel + beer + fatal frame = best day ever! i got stuck in first 15 minutes... which i've already got stuck few years back... so i opened a guide and go with it. exploration felt less important every second goes by, there on i've started to just straight up follow the linear path. thanks to controls this felt like most boring thing ever. camera control isnt fun and these ghost patterns suck it even more. running is another mess... whole game feels like its on 0.5 speed. story looks cool actually, REALLY look interesting but i just droped my insterest dont know why. (entire cult supernatural thing gets me espically in japan, waiting for you silent hill f please be good) i dont always finish games, i MOSTLY dont finish games but fatal frame is exactly what i want from jhorror. even if i was on edge of droping this, i wanted to beat my niche jhorror ps2 game. this felt like only thing important. i mean my profile picture is fatal frame for years! i need to beat this! i sweared so much to second night's final two bosses. ragequited so fast. after few minutes i refreshed my mind then beat them. there third night came. about few hours later i continued to play then encounter first boss of third night. ammo is limited, only one health supply. immediately just deleted this. if there was a god mode or save state. i would definently finish this. but trying a stupid ass combat section for maybe hours? not my thing. not anymore. btw i remembered my save was at half of the game. maybe... just maybe if that save was playable i would tolerate so many things in this game. still, i feel like i need to beat this. but not now. maybe in future on a emulator? most likely... until then, goodbye fatal frame. i will (probably) always love you.
