Five Nights at Freddy's

[Wayne]

This game has been circulating like wildfire from what I've seen. Has anyone here played it for themselves? I haven't, and I'm not sure if I'm really interested in it either.

I have. It's a fun game, but not as scary as it should have been.

6/10.

That's a generous score.

I'd give it a 5.3/10 since the imagery is kinda creepy. I found myself laughing more at it than being scared.

I agree. Foxy is hilarious(though annoying as far as I've seen), and chica would rather eat pizza than manhandle you into a suit.

Then why the fuck are you making threads about it.

I played it, and I have to say that it's enjoyable for a bit, but gets tiring. Since it's a "jumpscare game"; the scares get pretty stale pretty fast, it gets to the point where you'll see 80% of them coming (If you do everything right) - or you'll start to find them hilarious. But, it has some pretty damn unique ideas for a horror game (Mostly the cameras and the premise), and does most of them just right.

Sooooo... I'd say 5.6/10

I can see it getting old, fast. You're literally stuck in a seat and flicking through cameras so fast that it's less about building tension and more about managing a single resource and memorizing limited AI patterns.

Even that Slender game was more effective, and you're literally just trying to pick the most efficient course and manage stamina trying to find 8 pages, especially after page 4 where you lose if you slow down for more than a couple seconds. Games become less scary when you're frantically picking your way through the systems instead of immersing yourself in them. So far, the first Amnesia was the only game I've played that scared me because it forced me to navigate dark areas to find an escape with a single patrolling monster while forcing me to find light sources to keep me sane at the risk of the monster finding me. The sequel wasn't nearly as scary because there was no managing fuel or sanity, and in the first game, looking at the monster drew fit to you and made your sanity slip super quickly. It wasn't a hard game, but it understood how to balance game mechanics so it wasn't hard, but you were focused entirely doing what you're supposed to; face the horror.

Because I want to hear what others have to say about it because with how much it's going around, my curiosity is taking over.

Should have said I possibly am interested, but I'm unsure right now.

I watched my friend play it. It's alright,it WILL scare you, but it relies on cheap tactics to do so.
