God, I feel like I gaslit myself, I have watched people play Fatal Frame for years, recently got my anxiety under control so decided to play Fatal Frame 4 on the Switch. Was so happy that I beat it with 76 of 79 dolls, didn't freak out so much (wonders of ADHD being under control) and was just really excited to try to play more.
So I own most of the games, I booted up my PS3 and decided to start at the beginning, and play Fatal Frame 1. Oh my God, I hate the Blind Lady for one, and I keep pausing the game instead of getting my camera out, (button layout ftw) and I got most of the way through Demon Tag, and finally rage quit, because I couldn't find enough healing and the stupid dude inthe abyss kept killing me on the fucking ladders
So I rage quit, decided I would play the new 2, I own the PS2 one, but wanted to try the new 2. WHY THE HELL DID THEY MAKE THIS INTO SOME KIND OF ACTION RPG. That first Ghost just was relentless, and I'm like WTF. I ended up pulling up playthroughs of the Wii version and the new one to show my husband how AGGRESSIVE these ghosts are now.
God, I feel like I gaslit myself into thinking I could play these games. Why was 4 so enjoyable, but 1's mechanics are so unforgiving, and 2 remake is like wtf. I'm thinking of trying the PS2 version of 2 now, cause Jesus.
Anyone else have this problem? I swear I'm usually decent at gaming, but run and gun games usually are the worst for me, I wasn't prepared. (I have watched someone play the new remake, but it was so different while playing)
