>Retconning "lore" for a YouTube horror bait game

pretty obvious the retcon was the purple guy being the killer to the purple guy being the son of the killer.

everything else is the same.

the misconception of fnaf4 is probably what year the bite happens as is alluded in SL's secret room.

>>389316980
Probably. Springtrap has a dead guy in him.

>>389316753
His Dad is William Afton, the Creator of the animatronics, and I guess the killer? Purple guy is William aftons son who got gutted/skinned by an amalgamation of the sister location and worn like a disguise. They wore his skin until it turned purple with decay and then got vomited out. Through some magic or something his soul reanimated his empty flesh sack and he started wearing the springtrap suit.
It's a clusterfuck.

>>389317437
but what about that scene in 3 with the suit pushing out the guy's organs?

>>389314816
Scott makes up his bullshit story as he goes along. The chest should have been the biggest clue that he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing with his stupid ass story

Only Freddy's related media worth any shits. And they're all nothing worth playing more than once. Something to experience once around Halloween for fun, a reason to say "Haha man, that was creepy" and then move on with your life. Average mildly enjoyable couple of games that the community managed to entirely shit on. That first week of discussion on /v/ when the first game dropped was pretty fun, you have to admit it.

Nothing?

Each Souls game seems to have it's own internal lore, and the quality is pretty consistent. Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne were particular highlights.

>>389320871
Uncanny valley and atmosphere made the original scary. Unique setting and premise added to it as well. Never really should have gone beyond that first game.

>>389320871
The first game wasn't the best thing in the world, but at least it was able to tap into that creepy animatronic imagery you see in toy places. It was a refresher from zombie games and COD shooters in dark hallways. furthermore, what made the jumpscares work was that they were a penalty for losing, not just something you randomly see to spook the player. If you were good at the game, you could play it without ever having seen a jumpscare.

>>389320871
The anticipation and the way the game builds up to the jump scare.

>>389320896
Dammit I hate how people are using revisionist history and saying this entire franchise was always shit. The first game was outstanding for what it was.

Cave story also only had one game

>first game has a really cool concept and is actually pretty scary, all of the backstory is hidden in the background but there's only just enough to form a guess as to why the robots are crazy
>second game elaborates a little more on the story and turns the gameplay up to eleven, feels like a great sequel (prequel?)
>third game is a lot simpler in gameplay but finally reveals everything you'd need to know to fully understand the series and feels like a satisfying ending
he really should have ended it there, the last two games have raised way more questions than answers and haven't really advanced things much in a gameplay way either. they both feel completely pointless and all the "revelations" in 4 and SL feel like someone's fanfiction of the series because they didn't want it to be over after 3

/v/ was at the frontlines of the theoryposting, this board is just full of hipsters that will drop anything once it gets mainstream.

Why did all the husbandofags latch onto Springtrap? He looks really fucked up.

>>389316676
For the first week or so of release, there were threads every day praising how creepy the game was and theorizing the (at the time pretty barebones) lore. Later on, furfags and attention-whoring drawfags started to take dominance of the threads (this behavior still exists today in the /vg/ threads), and then Markiplier's popularity bump cemented the final nail in the coffin for a chance of FNAF threads ever being good again.

>>389314816

I still wish that was true. Baby and Ballora being sexbots would have been a pretty damn good twist on the usual FNaF scenario, though I bet that would have pissed off the younger and more immature side of the fanbase.

Now that I think about it I wouldn't mind a ballora sex doll...

What's fucked up about them? They're all different characters in different settings with different themes for different stories.

The popularity did ruin it in this case. It could have stayed a niche thing to look back on, now it's getting a feature length film.

>Phone guy was the purple guy originally

How """originally""" are you talking here?

In FNAF1 the "purple guy" didn't even exist as a concept there was just the murderer and there was no indication that it was phone guy. In FNAF2 it might have been possible but purple guy was abducting people outside of the original Fredbear venue rather than from within as an employee. And of course by the time FNAF3 comes around we know for sure phone guy isn't purple guy because phone guy dies before FNAF and the FNAF3 scene where purple guy dies clearly takes place after when the venue is completely boarded up and dripping and rotting.

FNAF World is an underrated gem.

>>389327886
It was only good for how it was used by Scott to complain about how deriding his fans are.

>>389327886

The use of the character designs is great, but was it really a decent game? I thought it was shit on so broadly that it was made to be free

>>389327698
That'd be a tough one, but ultimately I think that SSGSSFFKKx10 would defeat Gold Grizz. His Pizza-Pie Bomb is capable of destroying entire solar systems while GG's Kinkuma Hyakuretsu Ken has been shown to be only planetbuster-tier. They're equals in close combat and overall abilities but the power gap between their ultimate attacks is too great.

That's a pretty sick joke

>>389328089
Reddit shat all over it, and unfortunately Scott listens to them way too much. It's a fun RPG though a bit barebones and it can get really tough in the later part.

>>389328456
It was put up on Gamejolt, and get this; for free. That's how much of a mistake Scott thinks it to be.

>>389328875
>made a phone port of it that's buggy, crashes randomly, and is filled with vicious jabs and insults towards itself as well as random memes

Scott really needs to go see his psychiatrist.

>>389329040
I heard he had something of a breakdown recently, either during or after his "cancellation" of FNAF6. I think he needs to quit development until the movie gets finished a few years from now.

Doom's very mixed. I see some people praise the way lore was handled with 2016, but others vilify it for being "boring" and bastardizing the series.

Then again, that's just a result of anything having a fanbase.

I've never played Freddy's games. Should I try them out if I don't like horror games with dumb jumpscares like White Day and such?

Yep.
In SL he's a puppet mounted on freddy's hand. You have to do puzzles, and freddy gets progressively more sure he sees you in the room. You have a remote that makes bonnie say lines in a cute voice, like, "There's nothing there!! Go back to sleeeeep~!" and so on. You have to balance use of that and solving the puzzle without letting freddy get pissed enough to check it out.
