How was Fatal Frame V worse than 1 and 3 exactly?

2 also. The first 3 are among my favorite horror games ever. The thing that turned me off right away from the WiiU game was the loss of simplicity, which is something hard to explain in words, but the addition of stuff that kind took the mistery and horror away from the experience right away, at least to me.
Also the WiiU edition felt "gamish" to me, but the first 3 felt like a Tomie movie or something.
It is mainly this, the horror wasn´t there, it felt too much as a Koei modern game and it was confusing to me, even in controls, which suppose to be intuitive with the tablet controler.
I assume you are a fan of the new game, so just take this as my opinion only, not gospel. I am 34 years old, so a lot of stuff that were amusing to me 10 years ago are not anymore, so yes, me being a bitter jaded individual has a lot to do with it.

Well, I can understand how it was worse than 2, that game was the Final Fantasy VII of that series where everything just seemed perfect from the ground up.
But Fatal Frame 1 was not that great of a game to be honest. It had a simple story, and the strangulation ritual was fine, but very straight forward. Also, no camera upgrades left combat feeling stale.
Fatal Frame 3 was just simply boring. The worst of the three as far as story telling. A curse in the form of tattoos and unfolding a mystery in a nightmare that only effects lone survivors of a tragedy... I really couldn't connect with this story, and I think the best ghost stories told are ones where it can hapen to you. This is the one that took me FOREVER to finish.
Fatal Frame V hits very close to FF2 for me. A fairly big world (though you do go through the locations mulitple times with its 3 protagonist story. A very deep and interesting story where you can see how the ritual evolved through numerous rituals. Soul glances give back story on numerous ghosts and really give a sense of how long this ritual has bee going on, and how far the reach of the curse is, which is increased when the ghosts show up at the protagonists house. Three camera obscuras you can customize, beautiful visuals, great use of the gamepad (IMO of course), great music, there is just a boatload of things to unlock in the game with one of the most fleshed out rituals in any FF.
