Five Nights at Freddy's

Indubitably. But back to the game, have a good, short playthrough of the it by some people who aren't money-grubbing sillies like Pewdiepie. Some unexpected shit happens on the first night.

Well that's kinda a shitty mindset.
Without conflict in debate you might as well be yelling in an echo chamber.
It was a joke. I was facetiously debating your idea of liking debates, thus causing a debate.

INDEED YOU WERE.
It feels very

very obvious in retrospect.


I'm just gonna



go.
 
Does that golden one even have any rules?
 
The is one room that has a poster, sometimes golden Freddy's face will be on it and if you put the camera away with it visible he will appear in your room. The only way to not die is to look at the camera again, change rooms and put the camera away again.
 
And if you put in 1-9-8-7 at the 7th night AI customization screen, he gets you before the game even begins.

It crashes your game.
Still hasn't added anything for beating 4/20 mode...


Probably Skeleton mode..


But that would make the game 2 spooky

It adds a third star to the title screen.
 
I do a lot of horror games as I find the experience as entertaining and refreshing.

I chickened out of FNAF after 5 minutes. The atmosphere was quite unbearable.

I disagree with the statement that it "throws you in all at once" and "it's only jumpscares"

I personaly started the game knowing nothing about it besides the fact that it's a horror game (I most often check as little as possible about these types of games), and there are, like, a bear and bunny things in there, and when the guy at the phone explained to me everything bit by bit, that they move, and they tend to kill people at night because they think a human is an endo-skeletons I could feel the dread coming onto me, which made me watch the camera footage panicly even though nothing happened the first two in-game hours. I think the fact that the reason they would kill you was half-way reasonable worked on me quite a lot too, straight evil things are always less scary than not-entirely-evil-but-still-deadly things. It got even worse when Bonnie started walking around... Paired, with a really good ambience (did you know a lot of infra-sounds make you naturally uncomfortable and panicky?), I really just couldn't take it so I decided to just watch Pewds and Markiplier play it. :P

I really like the mask thing in the sequel, and I'm waiting with reasonable optimism.

As someone who doesn't like horror type games (not because they scare me, I just don't find them that interesting [though I'm jumpy as all hell so jump scares will admittedly get me, but it's not something that I'll be checking under the bed at night for for though]) I personally like FNAF just because compared to other horror games it seems to be a breath of fresh air.
Mainly because in most horror games now a days it's tends to be nothing but get to point A to point B with object C avoiding enemy D that may or may not be randomly scripted to be there in a Pacman maze made of flesh, more often than not completely unarmed. Or your given a weapon with a laughable inventory space (I know it's inventory management with limited resources but the game either gives you to much power, or not enough resources but makes things relativity easy enough to run 'around' or in a square but whatever.
FNAF does things that I really like. Such as your not in a fleshy, blood covered place or a foggy black and white town/hospital/lab/mansion/whatever (well the camera's are black and white but this is '93 in a small pizza place so it would be normal relatively speaking [metal doors though]) your in a believable place that just about everyone as been in at one point or another and know what they're like relatively well. Also that the lore isn't handed to you per-say, your give it to you bit by bit by a message every night, but you only get the 'full' picture by seeing extra tidbits in the camera's randomly (which is kinda annoying as well as the actual gameplay can get in the way of it with things like the newspaper clippings on the wall [though things like the 5 kid posters and Staring Bonnie/heads do set ominous tones very well]). Also I kinda really like as the story is simple but vague with the bite of '84 and the luring of the five children and then your suppose to figure out why your there and why Freddie and Co are after you, it's nice.
Also @BlackRoseAngel compared the Phone Guy's voice to a Cave Jonhson wannabe sort of thing and I kinda see where their getting at, but I but it more up to amateur voice acting more than anything. As Cave is up his own ass and doesn't give two shits about the test subject. Where phone guy want's you to live, but also want you to stay even though he know's he is gonna die and that your probably gonna die too, but wants you to figure out what's going on and -more likely than not- keep what's inside from escaping and even through the less than great voice work it still portrays this well enough I believe.

@TheGoggledGamer My point wasn't so much that it was a parody to Cave Johnson so much as that aspect of the game was a rather flimsy attempt to portray the corporate attitude towards the worker or the common person as a disposable resource. (The ending is a dead giveaway of this.) Which is similar to what Portal 2 did with Cave Johnson, only Portal 2 sold it much better and made it hilarious.

Scathing rebuke of such things in any art form is expected, but there's an elegant way to go about it and than there's the way FNAF does it.
 
and here i thought the ending was just a purposefully anticlimactic "You're Winner"
 
Yeah, I always thought it was just a joke like HA, you went through all this trauma and got 120 to show for it.
Especially since doing the sixth night only tacks on 50 cents.

And I mean, it kind of makes sense in the canon, since Freddy Fazbear's is going out of business it's not like they can afford to pay you much.
 
Well, considering the theories with the time FNAFS takes place. $120 is minimum wage. I mean, all the job is supposed to be is watching a bunch of animatronics at night. (Without the threat of death) Make sure no-one steals 'em all that jazz.

As someone who's held a job before, I don't know where you heard that or who told you that, but that is all of the lies. $120 a week is $4 per hour. Minimum wage, at least here in Oregon, is $8 or $9 an hour. When I was working at that seasonal job, I was making TWICE what Mike Schmidt made! There's no way in hell that $120 a week is minimum wage, in any state of the US. :P
 
given the time frame shown
the game is implied to take place in 1989
in which it more conceivable that the minimum wage would be less
living
 
I can't recall the exact source, unfortunately
but the exact dates during the week that the game took place occurred only...thrice, i believe, after the year 1987
with 1989 being the first year after that point

it's only a theory, but it's a pretty logical one, imo
 
I thought the year was closer to 1993?
 
Looking at when the check was given, we are looking for Friday 12th in November. One of those was in year 1993.

It's basicly agreed that the minimum wage points this game to somewhere before 1994.

I was thought the idea was that they were paying you less than minimum wage, because "fuck you, you're just the bai- I mean, an employee."

Pretty sure that it's stated in-game that the only chunks of you that leave the suit are your teeth and eyeballs. I assume the rest are still stuck in the suit somewhere.
 
I didn't play this game when I first heard about it. Thought it was a game about Zoe Quinn (somehow related to the "burgers and fries" thing). By the time I realized what it was I had watched the Game Theory episode. Now I feel like I sorta know what the games all about, eliminating the "what's everyone talking about" draw, so I'll just be stressing myself out by playing.
 
So, uh, the site updated or something with this.

I tried pumping the brightness up without distorting the image too much and got this.

I watched Markiplier play it though, he made some great faces.

The very least that you can do is watch the Cr1tikal playthrough.
Even if you have no interest in the game, watch that.
It makes the game so much less spoopy.
