A Fatal Frame 3 Photo Album, Part 1 Monday / 02.06.06 / 11:03AM / Joe
I finished Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented in just over 16 hours. I'm well aware that's not any kind of record - my completion ranking was E, as expected - but I tend to play games like this slowly and with a lot of exploration. Took 19 in-game nights, and my highest scoring photo was over 7000 points. Unlocked Ending #1 and other fun stuff.
Here's some of the in-game photos I saved. I usually don't pay much attention to a photo's point total; I keep pics based on how awesome or rare or scary they are. So most of these are embarrassingly low scores simply because the ghost is a split second away from kicking my ass. Still, the photos look great!
See what I mean? She's about to grab me.
This is another favorite pose of mine: the super-close-up. If you haven't played Fatal Frame, keep in mind that these ghosts are attacking... typically by lurking nearby and then lunging at you. For most of the combat scene, Mother here was at a reasonable distance... until WHAM she jumps you.
The Wandering Mother is searching for her lost Wandering Daughter. The Fatal Frame series has always had a mad-on for kid ghosts.
And our final muse for the day: the Woman Brushing. Her hair, that is. You always come across her in the Kimono Room, sitting at her vanity. There are several clumps of old matted hair stapled to the wall, just in case things weren't creepy enough. When she's not swooping in to grab you, she throws balls of spectral hair.
I think shots like this should be worth more points. If you're willing to let a ghost get in close enough to kiss you, you deserve something for your bravery. |
