Why i can't stand FNAF

[TrumpYoRump]

First things first, i don't hate Scott or anyone who plays his games. If you enjoy them, then good for you, but for me, that's just not the case.

I honestly, just can't stand these games and the amount of attention they're getting. Having a videogame is fine, but then a book and movie?? Come on now. Isn't that a little over excessive?

The only thing i enjoy about these games are the story and nothing else. The gameplay isn't very exciting nor fun, i find it very boring to play, but people are acting like they've never seen this type of game before and now there's a million different FNAF clones out there.

The scares in this game aren't really scares at all. Just jumpscares that pop out when you least expect them. It makes me wonder what kind of horror games people play now a days when they say that this is "the scariest game ever made". It also makes me roll my eyes when i watch someone on YouTube ♥♥♥♥ their pants because Freddy popped up on the screen. The game is also extremely difficult and not in a Dark Souls way. When playing on harder difficulties, the game becomes straight up cheap. You have to rely on luck half the time and hope an animatronic doesn't go down a certain hallway at a certain time.

The game at best, is mediocre.
It's not a terrible game, effort went into it, but does this deserve to have the amount of media attention it has? Not at all.

The biggest reason i cannot stand the game is the fans that surround it. I'm NOT judging the quality of the game based on the fans, this is completely seperate in in of itself.

Why does every FNAF fan have to hype this game to death? Why do some FNAF fans spend hours on some stupid clip art Nelson releases to try to find some "hidden message".

One of my good friends is OBSESSED with this game and i don't understand why. He has all the games, completed 20/20 mode on all of them, and during school in our Graphic Design course, he puts a bunch of FNAF posters and wallpapers into Photoshop and plays with the saturation to find some "secret messages". Really?

Again, if you love these game, i have no problem with that. however in my opinion and on a technical side of things, this game series has to be one of the most overrated of all time.

I'm actually glad that you are mature enough to say a particular reason why you hate fnaf. And not just "fnaf is cancer and sucks!!! ahahhh"

Interesting enough I actually never cared for fnaf until I played the first game as a joke to scare myself... I never found it very scary rather hillarious, But then I played the games and fell in love with them... I am still obsessed to this day but I still am glad there's no fnaf5... I mean sure I'm kind of bummed that there's a movie coming.... Oh god. I'm mildly excited for fnaf world. I'm kind of done with the lore, but the reason I like fnaf so much is because I like the game. To me the game is more strategic than horror-based. I mean sure it's got some horror stuff, but it's not just about surviving it's about being strategic and listening carefully.

Even though I will always be heart broken from hearing that people don't like fnaf... I still respect your opinion 100%.

I'm glad someone was mature enough to state their opinion proudly rather than just saying something stupid because they can. Dude I respect you :)

Thanks :D

You're pretty much on point with that.

I don't judge things by their quality, I judge them by their impact on everything around them. The Phillips CDi games were god awful, but they had an immense impact on future games and even the internet. That's what I consider good in my book.

I agree 100% with this, I'm actually a little appalled by the way Academia is disregarding FNAF for what all it has done. The humanities kind of disregard things by medium, it's tough to find anything on Comics, for instance, because they're viewed as being 'Low Art' in general. A few American Literature majors have covered historical impact, but not so much beyond that. A similar phenomenon is occurring with FNAF, since it's not only a video game but not an industry blow out, Nintendo sponsored, ultra high realistic graphics. Therefore it must be 'Meh'. I've had two professors telling me that I could do better then focus on something that's never been heard of before.

Yes, I'm going to ignore something that is shaking the very understanding of reader response criticism and demonstrates exactly how an audience responds to a story without guidance of author or work, with thousands of pages of data available in the forums because it's 'unknown'.

Outta ya damn minds, I tell ya.

I find it kind of funny that TrumpYoRump is annoyed with it's popularity. We obviously live in entirely different circles.

I'm not necessarily annoyed that it's popular, the thing that annoys me about it being popular is the way the fans surface around it. The game doesn't really annoy me, it's some of the fans that can be really obnoxious about it. At least the ones on this thread are sensible and can agree with my opinions.

It's not that it's the popularity that he's annoyed with but rather the fact that it's virtually everywhere on the internet and gets a lot of praise. I can undrstand why you'd hate it, cause you cannot escape the genre of Fnaf lingering on every single gmod workshop save. and etc.

I've got to admit most fnaf negative opinions out there are just people trying to get attention but you spoke in a mature manor and yes, i do respect you opinion

It makes me very happy that this post is actual constructive criticism, and not a huge load of cuss words and insults towards FNaF fans.

Thanks mate

[Phantom Echoes]

I completely agree, this game is good and all story wise, but, we have to remember, this is AND INDIE GAME getting a movie, has a book, and is getting merchandise through 3 companies so far. It's a bit too much, but hey, this isn't the strangest thing that's ever happened in gaming history...now that I think about it, what IS the strangest thing that ever happened in gaming history?

Yes I'm glad too.

I'm what you would call your overly obsessed fnaf fan, but I'm not butthurt about people hating the game. It's if people are rather rude about it. But this guy is mature and polite: and I thank him for it.

*cheers and claps*

Problem with me is I'm always so late when I join fandoms and stuff lol. I only started liking fnaf after I played it and at that time the third one was already in the works.

[alber_fgg]

Dude, do you really need to speak in these forums about how much you dislike the game?

I understand you're tired of the over saturation of FNaF in your life considering you have a friend that likes the games, but speaking of it here is just not necessary at all, all you're going to get is a bunch of little kids insulting you, other people making fun of you or calling you hater, it's not worth it.

The movie and the book are there because the franchise is very popular, there are books of God of War, World of Warcraft, and more games, and there also are movies of Sonic, Mario, Mortal Kombat, street fighter, and a bunch more. There's nothing wrong with movies based off games (other than most of them suck), if you really think a FNaF movie is wrong simply because it's about FNaF, please, accept that YOU are the one who has a problem.

if you consider the gameplay is bad, it's your oppinion, not a fact, I personally think FNaF 1 is boring, but 2, 4, and specially 3 are very fun. And other people consider the first one to be the best gameplay-wise. The same thing goes to the jumpscares, to a grown dude like me, FNaF 1, 2, and 3 are not scary, but for other people, they are, indeed, quite scary.

The fanbase sucks partially, I know that, it's full of small screaming kids, but there are also some very smart, well mannered, and welcoming people, so please, don't judge a full fanbase only looking at the worst part of it.

By the way you write, you look like an intelligent person, I apreciate the fact that you stated why you dislike the games in an educated way, that's why I'm going to give you a good advice. Get away from these forums as soon as posible. This place is meant for people who: 1-Like the games. 2-dislike the games and are stupid and want to troll to have fun for a while. And you don't seem to me like a stupid troll.
I'm sure you have better things to do other than saying in a forum for people who like a game, that in your opinion the game is not good.

I'm also glad that you don't automatically turn down a fnaf fan for liking the game, or saying I'm still a child... I'm sick of having morons say stuff like "omg you're like 12 years old you stupid fnaf fan.. hahaha lol" Or something even worse. Having someone comment something mean just because you like something is beyond me.

I agree wholeheartedly.

A book, movie, spinoff, and same game 4 times is more than excessive. It's ridiculous.
