How did a cheap jump scare game get this cultish of a fanbase that went full Adventure Time "deepest lore"
Like all horror games are cheap jump scare simulators or action games where you go Rambo on a bunch of zombies but at least they have post-2001 graphics now
First few games did what they set out to do really well and people wanted more so Scott made more. Also because all of the animatronics are anthropomorphic animals it caused a bunch of furries to latch onto it, what changes the whole fandom dynamic from what more normal games have.
I will admit, the first game was quite good and departed from the typical survival horror genre, and the second was a logical continuation, but after that it definitely lost its focus and became overdone
The complete absence of player movement really ramped up the scary factor, since when fight or flight kicks in, you cant run away, and you can only temporarily keep them away. This combined with the great sound design make it an unironically good game
You can completely ignore the overly convoluted story and have a great time with game 1 and 2. I would actually also recommend game 6, fazbear’s pizzeria simulator
I think 2 and 3 were meh but 4 and 5 were surprisingly decent for, you know, the fourth and fifth game in a meme horror franchise. Never played after that though.
Like if your this guy, why would you pass on the franchise rather than sell it? I guess he’s rich beyond belief already but it just seems like easy money
I've heard he is passing off the series to someone else, so he might get money for that, or he may earn profit off of the franchise in the future (twittertards wouldn't like that I'm guessing).
Drama posting as a whole rots your brain, the sub is easily one of the most transphobic subreddits filled with Enlightened centrists and alt-light trolls, the mod team is a bunch of weirdo nominally left succdems who post on Stupidpol about how they're the bastion of left thought.
One of them made a post about how they used to be a SJW but alienated all their friends and family and now decries idpol, when in reality they're probably just insufferable to be around
I’ve debated greatly how best to address this, including not addressing it at all, but with so many people from the LGBT community in the fanbase that I love, that’s not an option. I’d like to think that the last seven years would have given me the benefit of the doubt in regards to how I try to treat people, but there I was, trending on twitter for being a homophobe, getting doxed, with people threatening to come to my house. My wife is six weeks pregnant and she spent last night in fear because of what was being said online. She has already been struggling with her pregnancy so seeing her so afraid really scared me. All this because I exercised my right, and my duty, as an American citizen, to vote for and support the candidates who I felt could best run the country, for everyone, and that’s something that I won’t apologize for.
For those who took the time to look, you saw that the candidates I supported included men, women, white people, black people, republicans, and democrats. I supported Kimberly Klacik in Baltimore because I believed that she really cared for the African American community there and wanted to pull them out of poverty. I believed she could have really make a difference in a time when so many black communities were struggling. She lost, unfortunately. I supported Tulsi Gabbard, a democrat, even though I disagreed with her on several issues, because I felt she would have been a good and fair president. And yes, I supported President Trump, because I felt he was the best man to fuel a strong economy and stand up to America’s enemies abroad, of which there are many. Even if there were candidates who had better things to say to the LGBT community directly, and bigger promises to make, I believed that their stances on other issues would have ended up doing much greater harm to those communities than good. All of this explanation, I fear, is wasted, as people don’t want to discuss with one another anymore; they want endless apologies and submission. People who are expecting those from me will get neither.
What a based fucking response to the bird mob. Emphasis mine.

Internet manifests mental illness and autism into a weapon never imagined before the eternal September.

Huh. Is it a game I can play without the story? Like when I’m drunk.

Yeah there isn't really any story other than the intro which is a minute or two long
1 fentanyl_peyotl 2021-06-17
Most of the “story” is just lore Easter eggs and shit. I think the only one that has any real in-game plot is the fifth one.

You know how every kinda weird kid could and would draw Jack Skellington? This game became that
