Most overrated and repetitive horror game ever made.

[Skelly Man]

I have the port of this game on my phone, and I can say without a doubt that it does not deserve the praise that it recieves. All Markiplier had to do to clear the 4/20 challenge was look exclusively at the Pirate Cove area and leave his right door closed whenever he was checking the camera.

It's a good idea to begin with, since it takes something that we are all familar with as children/people (Animatronic characters) and turns it into something more dark, but as I got 20 minutes in, I began to realise that the game play is very repetitive and while the atmosphere and setting are scary, the scary factor is taken away instantly with an avoidable jump scare, which is the lowest form of horror.

It might have been more interesting if more random elements had been introduced like, say, robbers coming in late at night to momentarily distract the animatronics, or the power going out randomly at night and you have to leave the office to turn it back on.

I understand that Scott is only one person and that Five Nights has some interesting ideas going for it, but the point is, it does have flaws and should be treated as such. Honestly, if you think it's the scariest horror game made, then go play some Outlast or Silent Hill. You'll change your mind instantly.

I agree, I think the gameplay kinda sucks. The story and concept are really great, though.

AM I THE ONLY PERSON IN THE UNIVERSE THAT THINKS JUMPSCARES ARE FUN WHEN DONE RIGHT?!?!?!?!

Oh no. Freddy will kill you soon.

There is more to 4/20 than that

Shamefully, if you have a computer with a resolution larger or smaller (like mine) than its default, its better to get the phone version.

Agreed 100%

I haven't played either of those, but from what little play time I had with Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, I can tell you that was scarier, to be honest.

I suggested Outlast since it was also an indie game and, along with the DLC, came out last year just before FNAF was released. I'm surprised that a game as scary as Outlast didn't get as much notoriety than FNAF, but then again, it's $20 + $10 DLC compared to FNAF's $5 and it's definitely NOT for children since FNAF is easy to pick up and relies on jumpscares to scare you while Outlast is more atmospheric and uses adrenaline and tension to scare the player.

Anyway, I haven't checked out RE3 yet (or rather any Resident Evil games) so I'll make sure to look into it.

I've never really played much of Resident Evil 3. I just know there's that tension whenever you open the doors, not knowing what's on the other side. Could be zombies, could be Nemesis, could be other various T-virus spawned monstrosities. So yeah, the door opening scenes were a bit scary at times, especially if you're already being chased.

There's a bit of tension going on in FNAF, as you search through cameras, hoping no one slips in while you're doing it. Actually, that's what I found more appealing and unnerving about it. The jumpscares are only even remotely scary the first or second times, then they're just annoying.

He even says himself that going into a horror game knowing nothing about it is where something is scary. Obviously something is not going to be scary if you play it over and over. Silent Hill and Outlast are not immune to this
