Five Nights at Freddy's

I want this to be what Scott Cawthon is remembered for.
Not the pretty decent game trilogy
BUT THE FACT HE IS LITERALLY INCAPABLE OF RELEASING A GAME ON TIME.
The fucking book even released early, and that wasn't even his fault, the universe demands his shit come out early.
 
too be fair, there was an announcement sometime last week, but it moved from Feb 19th to this weekend to Friday to....well today.
 
The final boss of hard mode's Scott.

No I'm not kidding.
 
He released a game early, wasnt satisfied with it despite high ratings, so is fixing it to give it back to us for free.

Its a pretty freaking good deal, considering he's also giving free refunds to everyone who ever bought it, and those who were to poor to pay up front (like me, -sob-) will get a chance to play the updated version.
 
I don't know. I've heard mainly good things about it myself, but I think there was a common agreement that it was kind of....hollow?
 
I had a very brief time with the game and it just seemed super average in sort of lacking in some areas. The battles are real time "action bar" style but you can't even see how long it will take for a character to be able to perform their next action. On top of that, I had absolutely no idea what any character's attack even did until I tried it out once in a battle. If there was some way to check that before hand, it wasn't super clear.

ALSO LOAD TIMES FOR OPENING AND CLOSING THE MENU REALLY SUCKED
 
Here we go again....

The image itself is called Project.JPG, but I dunno if that actually means anything :0
 
Five Nights at Blank?
I'm actually fine with the concept of Five Nights at ____________________
Being a thing
Maybe it won't even be horror and you spend Five Nights managing a business?
 
With it called Project.png, and it having really no indication of FNaF related works, it might be a new game
 
Five Nights of I hope it's not five nights at freddys cause it's really been thrown into the ground
 
I don't know if I'm glad or disappointed that we're headed back to the standard formula.
It was nice for Scott to branch out into colorful RPG's and books and stuff, I just wish he ventured more outside of this particular IP.
 
Could there have please only been one? Pleeeeeeease? This is as obviously milking it as its ever been. This is bordering on Friday the Thirteenth levels of sequel concepts. Is the Freddy animatronic going to get shipped to space? Maybe take a dip in some radioactive ooze? God.
 
Nice loophole abuse. Not lying and makes sense, and I still feel betrayed somehow.
 
Did the child-murderer also have a sister
I mean, how's he gonna explain spooky fun-times now
I'm kinda half-hoping for the half-arsed excuse of "built on top of an indian burial ground"

My favorite spin on that fucking trope is from South Park
"You built this on top of an Indian Burial Ground?"
"No, I dug up the graves, pissed on the bodies, buried them back upside down, and then built this on top of an Indian Burial Ground!"
 
maybe scott has a sister is just making a game for her to be a cool brother
 
or maybe Scott himself doesnt know where to go in terms of lore. only sequel making.
 
Maybe Scott just likes making games

Doesn't mean he can't make more than just fnaf. Which is exactly what he's doing.
 
Maybe so in which case im not gonna stop him, but a little refresher of an IP here and there would be nice.
