Five nights at Freddy's Game Discussion

[- ; bonk!]

Okay, guys, I'm not the only one who's jaw actually dropped at the little cutscene with the bite incident, right? o_o That was... far different from what I expected.
I can hear MattPat crying in the distance as his theory is once again thrown in the dirt.
I just... wow. That cutscene actually made me feel sad, angry, and just plain horrified. ;n; who does that to their brother?! That's just horrible!

I dont know which game I like best to be honest, as all of them were pretty good in my opinion.
The first game was what started it all off, and was a great challenge seeing as you have to keep away animatronics and conserve power at the same time without dying.

The second game took the challenge even further when it added more animatronics, no doors, the flashlight power, the Freddy head and music box.
It also appeared that at some point, Scott was planning on adding something else, as there was an unused graphic of a meter labeled "toxic". I have no idea what this would have been, but it still intrigues me.
It also managed to sum up more of the storyline behind the game.

The third game was probably the worst in my opinion, as although the animations were good, the gameplay was lacking, and overall the phantoms just made it a jumpscare fest.
To make up for it thought, it was a perfect ending to the storyline.

The fourth game so far seems to be one of the best, completely changing the consept of the game, and summing up one of the biggest mysteries in FNAF.
I can't wait to see what the DLC brings.

I was wondering, out of all 4 games, what's you guy's favorite?
( Mine is the second, I loved the layout and how sleek yet eerie the toy animatronics are, and stressing out the fans who'd played the 1st game by getting rid of the doors, adding on the Puppet ( I still call it Marionette ), BB, and Mangle getting added into the mess to stress you out even more. )

I'm still in love with the first game. Although the 4th one is tied with the 2nd, and 3rd comes last.

I think the second is my favorite because of all the new stuff it brought to the story, and I really enjoyed the new toy animatronics. Plus, the withered animatronics looked awesome. Bonnie's design was epic.
Gameplay wise, though, it's a tie between the first and the fourth.
The third game is the worst by far, no contest. Literally the only thing I thought was alright was the satisfactory ending to the story. The gameplay mechanics were boring, and kind of crappy jmo, there's so many random, pointless jumpscares that it's only scary the first two times, Springtrap was only scary in the trailer and really wasn't very bad in game, the phantom animatronics had no purpose other than attempting to scare you (and failing,) and worst of all, there was no Freddy in a Five Nights at FREDDY's game. No, Phantom Freddy doesn't count.

Yeah, that cutscene did catch me off guard. That was nothing like I'd envisioned the bite being.

But I don't think the brother and his friends meant to hurt him. Notice how they stop laughing after Fredbear bites down and the boy stops moving. It was more likely a prank that got out of hand, something that unfortunately happens far too often even in real life. They did torment that kid pretty horribly so their hands aren't exactly clean, but I doubt killing him was part of their intentions.


My favorite game was either the first or the third, followed by the fourth and then in last the second. Despite it being a bit sparse I actually enjoyed the gameplay in the third, though the randomness of some of the jumpscares and Springtrap's movements in the later nights did make it seem a bit cheesed. The story is what really made it great for me. The fourth one is pretty good too, though I was really caught off guard by the increase in intensity. I don't like horror games but I liked FNAF because it's really not that bad after the first couple scares. The fourth game on the other hand, keeps you constantly on the edge of your seat because you don't know if your next move is going to kill you or not, and it makes you paranoid as to whether that sound you heard was merely ambience or if that was your cue to close the door. Obviously I can't count that as a fault though because duh, it's a horror game. :P It just wasn't my type of game this time around.

I don't want to say I hate the second one, because I don't, but overall all it felt a little too cluttered. Too much to keep track of, and if you weren't careful or even plain unlucky it was really easy to get pushed into a situation where the only choice you have is which animatronic you want to get killed by. I think if FNAF 3 had a little more and FNAF 2 had a little less, they both would have been much better games.

I personally have never played any of the games. So my favorites will be off of
1. Story
2. Jumpscares
3. General enjoyment watching others play

FNAF 1~ 7/10
FNAF 2~ 9/10
FNAF 3~ 7/10
FNAF 4~8/10

The first game was your average jumpscare horror game, but it had sort of a dark feel to it with its intense hidden storyline-- also, the animatronics were very creative, since many people have Pediophobia, Technophobia and Automatonophobia (fear of dolls and fear of robots and the fear of aggressive sentient beings, respectively.) And oh my gosh, I LOVED the second game, I thought that Scott had really pushed the envelope on that one, though it was a bit much since there was a lot to keep track of, but that's not a bad thing, since it sends you into panic overdrive. FNaF 3 was not as exhilarating but it was much deeper than the previous two, which made it just as great; it had a great storyline and left a lot of fans thirsty for more. FNaF 4 has a completely different concept than the tried and true aspect of the original three, thus creating a new type of scary for the franchise, while staying true to the jumpscare we know and love and still solving many questions about the storyline itself.

TL;DR: All the games are great!

Whoa.
I just saw a lets player get jumpscared by fredbear only a few minuets into night five.
before his jumpscare, he was down the hall, and it took him a matter of seconds to get into the room.
I'm guessing he is probably the most agressive to the child, seeing as it was him who caused the bite.
Also, is it just me, or does anyone else think that the child we play as has a phobia of animatronics?
I mean, it seems pretty obvious, as the text throughout the mini games like "he knows you hate it here"
And "you have got to get past them, but you must be strong." And how when the brother and friends carry him over to the stage, he clearly doesn't want to be there.

**Spoiler Warning**

Here's something I don't understand:

When Fredbear bites the kid, it really makes it seem like it kills him. Especially when it came to all the plushies fading out in the ending, and eventually him fading out too.
But Phone Guy in the first game said the kid survived?

Unless there's something I'm mixing up here, I'm confused.. >~>
Especially with the TV that says "1983"
Maybe that wasn't the bite of '87? Maybe the kid didn't survive and it wasn't the one Phone Guy was talking about?

I actually belive that this is a different incident, and incident also mentioned by phone guy in the recordings in FNAF 3.
He said that the spring suits were discontinued because of a "spring lock failure at a sister location"
I belive that this is the spring lock failure he mentions and not the bite of 87 as most people think.
