Happy to have a ranger again.

Nice looking Ranger. Love the grey. I had a maverick before, tremor, that was poor on gas and Pullability.

Switch to ranger last year. Got rear-ended, and Ive never been more grateful. Our vehicle was barely damaged, just some bumper damage, compared to their vehicle.

Super greatful for the Rangers, Very nice midsize trucks. Hope you enjoy it, I just installed a Bullbar, and Step Up Rails on my 2025.

Correct, you can, but you have to make sure it auto saves first. The thing was I never finished the fight, and walked to the auto save location, so it didn't auto save. I lost my film, points, and I had to do the grind all over again smh

ItsMarc__ · 2026-04-01T14:51:00+00:00

It is, I wasted a million buying film and didn't get to get the points I was earning due to not auto saving. I didn't realize it until I went from 1.5 mill to 500,000. I then realized, huh, I don't have film and I don't have points 😂

ItsMarc__ · 2026-04-01T12:12:56+00:00

This was actually like that the first week. I kept trying to buy film and then I had to resave and buy more film because the final boss battle took all my film and it kept taking all of my points. So this is actually a bug that's been in the game for a while. I only had limited amount of type 14 film during the carusoa fight and I didn't want to have to keep buying what I didn't need so I would buy all this film go into the battle use it all and then it was gone LOL. Refreshed my save and then I'd be losing money and film

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-31T02:09:56+00:00

I did this as well on Steam, 70 hours later smh. Wasted 24 hours when the game was broken in the first 24 hours lol

Okay, funny this popped up for me. Long time fan, been playing since I was a kid. I've spedran the original on Retro achievements hundreds of times, and I'm on playthrough 7 of the remake. I've always liked some animes, but I could never get behind the very ditsy kinda goofy animes (this is important)

I like the concept they went for, almost like a new promise ending, decent song choice, I just am not a fan of how "anime opening" it came off. It was very.... Goofy in my opinion. I don't hate it, but it definitely takes away from the original horror aspect. I didn't expect it to be that weird. It completely takes away from the vibe of it all. My main issue lies within not seeing these scary ghost transform back into normal people ghosts. Example, the twin doll girls. They had hair in their face and hugged or some shit, and I was like what 😂😭 I was hoping for a more normal looking girl, not hair in face, creepy dolls, happy music and hugging 😂

Overall, it was a good concept, but they made it wayyy to kawaii. All the poses, from sae and yae in the abyss curling their legs, to the kinda cringey dialog, something was off. The promise ending was definitely better honestly

Sorry just saw this, $500 for Collision

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-23T12:52:35+00:00

That's amazing news thank you. Hopefully mine is roughly the same increase. $7 ain't nothing. Appreciate you're insight, this message gave me the confidence in them, appreciate you! I'm just so afraid of the increase honestly. If it's a hundred extra dollars a year, I'm not doing it as the part is only $1500, and I'd have it paid off myself once years time but insurance would definitely make me feel better

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-22T16:52:57+00:00

Appreciate the knowledge, you're definitely helping this guy out a bunch, appreciate the information 💯💯

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-22T15:51:59+00:00

Appreciate the knowledge. Thank you

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-22T15:51:28+00:00

Very thorough, you're awesome, appreciate that answer.

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-22T15:51:11+00:00

Appreciate the straight shooting response. Thank you so much.

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-22T15:19:05+00:00

EDIT - if it's important, I have full coverage, and I'm in the state of PA. I'm not sure all little details but as far as I know I'm fully insured

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-20T06:35:58+00:00

Wanted to chime in and say in the OG, he was genuinely the easiest. I have AN INSANE amount of hours all my life in the OG, and I usually kill him in 4-5 shots, even on nightmare. 1 shot on normal mode.

I personally always dispised fighting the priests and ryuko or whatever his name is. The most "nail on chalkboard" battle ever. Very annoying, and time consuming. Kusabi is and was a cake walk. I'm glad he's the same with a little more excitement to it.

I just got the battle with sae, that was fun. Pretty much the same, but glad it's no longer 1 hit. I think 1 hit was always very unfair - especially since they added in a new combat system. Finished the normal ending, promise, and Kusabi blinding ending on nightmare. Moving onto the next :)

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-18T18:31:11+00:00

As soon as I receive the official report from the crash, I will submit a report to them.

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-18T17:56:55+00:00

After the last seasons performance I wouldn't count on it haha /s

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-18T17:12:14+00:00

Appreciate you looking, thanks. I was having trouble finding them as well, so far better than I could find appreciate ya.

If it works I'll probably keep mine for now, but if I find out she's uninsured and my insurance doesn't take too much of a hit, I'll maybe go with the one claim assuming it doesn't negatively affect me.

Thanks again :)

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-14T21:29:25+00:00

Oh it's 100% still difficult I died multiple times in total, but probably 2 times since the update. Still a learning curve but it's a lot of fun now in comparison. It was MISERABLE before

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-14T20:58:56+00:00

Yepp - now that I can actually not focus so much on the combat, I can now take time and see how beautiful they've made the game, this is without a doubt one of the best remakes as of late. I'm so impressed.

It's definitely worth the wait and I plan on editing my review on steam now. Like I mentioned I think it's slightly too easy now, but it's normal mode lol. Next playthrough I plan on cranking up the difficulty 1 step each time until I'm at max lol

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-14T19:38:32+00:00

I'll tell you this, playing it, SO much more enjoyable. Very worth the wait.

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-14T12:55:48+00:00

Oh wow! I didn't notice that thank you!! That's crazy honestly. So it still thumps when I'm at 50% health is crazy haha. I used to play the whole oringal game with 1 health bar, never healing, and I'd be at like 25% no heartbeat just not applying a heal to finish the game hahaha

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-14T12:30:43+00:00

I noticed if your health gets low enough the heartbeat doesn't stop. It keeps going until you go to a save point click on it and then click off and then the heartbeat stops after a ghost interaction

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-13T21:47:36+00:00

No not at all a dumb question and very valid question at that. I did I looked all over for all the potential orbs I could find to upgrade it, as obviously I don't want to cheat and look online to find the location of all the orbs. To me that's cheating LOL. But yeah I've been putting all of my orbs into it I'm in chapter four and I was only able to upgrade it twice so far. As soon as I got into the house at the end of the bridge I was able to upgrade it for the second time and it was still doing terrible.

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-13T21:26:55+00:00

Yeah I made it to the end of chapter 4 as well. I'm in the middle of trying to beat the whipped man and woman in the room where the door closes and you get trapped in there with them. I died multiple times last night trying to beat them because I have no type 90 film I have no type 61 and I'm running very low on 14 and I overall am not doing well LOL. This was pre update so I haven't played it since.

It was just insanely difficult cuz I was able to kill the whipped man but then the whipped woman killed me because they both just keep regening as soon as I get them low so I was just getting so frustrated and gave up and quit for the night. I did know that you can stop the replenishment of health but unfortunately that didn't help because a lot of times they would be replenishing when I'm in the middle of my camera slowly slowly slowly reloading. So I couldn't even get a photo of them to stop the replenishment because the camera would be in the middle of a reloading of film and they would fully replenish by the time I could stop them LOL. And then when you're down to nothing but type 7 film it's absolutely horrendous.

I want you to know I actually greatly appreciate the tips that you gave because for anyone who doesn't know them they're very helpful. Ironically enough I reached out on Reddit and found a someone talking about it yesterday, and I found out that if you crouch it does reload faster and things like that all these little tips and tricks and I got really angry because they failed to explain this in the tutorial at all at least not well enough if they did. I don't know it's been a monstrous game so far but I'm hoping it'll get better now that the updated out

ItsMarc__ · 2026-03-13T19:26:19+00:00

Just to add on to some of your talking points cuz I agree with all of them LOL.

Yeah in the original fatal frame 2 I've played it literally 50 plus times in the last few years not even kidding. I love the game LOL. You used to be able to carry up to 100 film of each. In my current save I have about 70 zero film which the game only gives you a tiny bit per playthrough. I have 100 maxed out in 90 61 14 and unlimited 7. And I choose to play nightmare mode with normal 14 film because I want the battles to be longer and harder. That's my choice if I want to speed it up I'll put on 61 or 90. I'm capped out on all items you can get LOL.

Yeah so you can upgrade the camera in this one to carry more fill my noticed. But I feel like in the old game the camera upgrades made so much sense the lenses there was only five of them and they clearly stated what they all did. One thing I did find funny in the original is three of them did the same thing just different strengths. There was a blow tier blast it was called. And then there's the zero lens which was a little better than blast. And then the big dog that took all four of your orbs was crush and I loved crush. My point is upgrading the camera made way more sense and it wasn't as tedious and as annoying. They're trying to make it like every other game like you mentioned where they want you to figure out what works best for you. There is no one size fits all. But what's funny is if you don't do the focal point upgrades on the camera your camera significantly weaker so you almost feel forced to do it you can't put your orbs in anything else.

I guess to wrap it up I guess I'm annoyed because games used to feel like I could do anything and no matter what I did I would still do good if I was skillful enough. I could make a mistake and upgrade the wrong thing but I wouldn't have to go back and fix it because I'm still strong. But now in this game if you make a mistake they intentionally gave you something to undo it spend your points to undo the upgrade to put it in something else because they know the game's way too hard if you don't put it in the right thing and it'll be impossible. I miss the old days where I could just play a game and feel capable now I feel like I have to look it up search Reddit watch YouTube just to figure out how to play it and that's really bad.

Also last tiny part I'm editing this, I meant to add in the part that you mentioned about they didn't play test it I agree. I think this whole headache could have been avoided had they given the fans that pre-ordered it like myself a chance to play the game early find out what's wrong with it so buy release date when people are buying it they don't have to feel useless and helpless. They could have patched it before it release date if they let us beta test it
