The 4th game was sadistic. You have to listen really closely and the jumpscares are louder and more tense than ever.

Well played Scott, well played...

My thoughts:

Well, despite the fact that Scott Cawthon doesn't know the meaning of patience, it's a solid game. I am not exactly big on jumpscares but that doesn't mean that it isn't a scary game anyway. It's all about it's settings and sounds this time which can really put a nerve on the player when your trying to survive. There's a lot of shifting from one strategy to the next which I appreciate. You can't just go in a loop until you know what works and what you can do to adapt. But damn, this game has got a very hard learning curve and is not for the faint of heart. It's gonna test your survival skills and your ability to adapt. The story is however is getting more baffling and is really getting confusing and it's starting to come off pretty badly. Perhaps Game Theory will help me out. I'm glad that Scott made this game. I wanted this to be a great way to end the series, not counting the upcoming DLC, and Scott saved the greatest for last.

Overall Rating:
9/10

It has its flaws, but it really excels as a horror game and a strategy game, but this is for the most persistent of players since many will try to beat this, but very few will depending on your skills.

I think you guys look way too deep into your Chuck-E-Cheese horror flash games.

The story was fairly smart in 1, remained kinda smart in 2, but 3 and 4 really went off the deep end and made it significantly more complex than it needed to be, all the while creating a huge amount of confusion. Scott clearly made it up as he was going.

I really preferred the idea that they were just malfunctioning Chuck-E-Cheese ripoff animatronics that wandered during the night and stuffed anyone they encountered anyway. The whole idea of them being haunted by kids actually made them less creepy, as the "it's haunted" thing is a very easy cop-out cliche that is used by a huge amount of horror.

Yeah, I'd kinda have to agree.

Even though I am a die-hard fan, I do agree that the animatronics malfunctioning would be a bit scarier.

I dunno, I can believe a haunting much better than a random malfunction that happens to turn them into calculated guerrilla-tactic security guard killers.

I don't see either as plausible in any sense. Would've been more interesting and plausible if there was an antagonist controlling them for some reason of their own. Then there would've been an actual story.

Plausible is it takes energy to keep a door closed.

That was the 69th reply. :gawe:

Also, say what you want about the fandom, they make some good music:

So apparently the box doesn't open in the Halloween Edition.  I'm so glad I didn't spend a penny on FNAF.

His reason was that the whole answer to the series- what it's all about- is contained inside, and he thinks people will be disappointed. Matpat figured it out (the guy from game theory).

What is that answer? Well, I shall give it you.


What a total ****ing cop-out.

I can't argue with that; the outrage would be well-deserved.

So, I just check Scott's Website, and he is apparently releasing a Novel called "Five Nights at Freddy's: The Untold Story."  Perhaps this is where we'll get all the answers?

inb4 he finds a way to sneak a jumpscare within the book.

make it a pop-up book! then it's within the age demographic of most of the fanbase!
