Five Nights at Freddy's

I've watched playthroughs of it, at first I was thinking "haha this won't be scary" but I was so wrong.
 
Soo the story is = giant teddy bear robot death machine of death is coming to fly in from the sky and eat you if you dont check all the cameras with your power. well.. cant be as terrifying as slendytubbies... flee from the tellytubbies, they are scary even in their normal form D:

It's even freakier when you realize the robots are possessed by the souls of children murdered by one of the old security guards.

I thought that the animatronic animals were who killed the children

There's newspapers on the walls that say that the kids were lured backstage and their bodies were stuffed into the bodies of the animatronics ^.^
 
I want to try this. Also, what's wrong w/ jump scares?

They just freak some people out, and in many people's opinions (including my own,) games that rely on them too heavily are kind of cheap in a sense. They're not that bad in this game though, and as long as you don't have a heart condition you should be fine.

It's just fun more than anything, really. Not really scary, though it speaks to that five year old in all of us who wanted to go to that pizza parlor back in the day and have our parents spend hundreds on us for tokens to play games with. And then there were those mascots. Those god-awful, terrifying mascots, towering over us, eyes staring into our souls, making us wonder why it was ever worth the pizza or games. It's basically a normal day at Chuck E. Cheese. 'Where a kid can be a kid. Or dead.'
 
I've always loved scary media. I grew up absorbing horror movies and urban legends and ghost stories. But I could never handle watching frightening games. And I mean even the most basic kind, like when Half-Life first came out and my dad was playing it, I'd watch about two minutes of alien-killing before I had to go and hide. These days, my favorite thing to do is watch my brothers or boyfriend play scary games. Especially with this rising trend of games where fight is not an option; you just need to hide. I love playing first-person, and Half-Life is now my favorite game to play over and over. But I can't bring myself to play games like FNaF myself. I watched my boyfriend play through all of Outlast, but then later when I was playing it to show my friend, I had to stop about half an hour in because I was shaking so bad. Being able to pick up a crowbar and whap whap whap at alien zombies until they stop moving takes all the fear out of it, for me. Being able to laugh it off and be rid of the bad thing immediately is good and fun for me, but it definitely detracts from the immersion. I appreciate games like this, jump-scares and all, because they truly, honestly, 100% suck me in and freak me out. With horror movies, there's always predictability, and with first-person shooters, there's always the option to fight back. But what makes for a real scare is when the thing you're hiding from is unstoppable and nearly unpredictable. Overall: I like Five Nights at Freddy's, though it's not my favorite, and I hope creative minds keep producing games like this.
Even if just for the humor. Those messages at the beginnings of the nights kill me.
 
A side from Mark, can anyone recommend me some good game plays of it?
I watched only Jim Sterling's but he was being a little too cynical to actually enjoy it.
 
I just in love with the story behide this game
Most of the time I get killed because I'm too bust looking at the newspaper clips
 
I earlier watched Mark's and Pewds' playthrough of it, and...

It's so terrifying. The story behind it makes it even creepier. Google it, oh my goodness.. Basically, a murderer killed children and stuffed 'em in the mascots.

I'm never trusting mascots. Ever.
NOT LIKE I DID IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT IT'S TERRIFYING. Gives me the chills.
 
It is just me or the least "scary" animatronic is Foxy? He's so predictable that whenever you see him running the hall while you're too late at shutting the left door, you'd end up groaning than being caught by surprise. Heck, he looks like he'd be saying "Hi there!".

I don't really find it that scary.
Jump scares don't really do that much for me anymore.
I mean, the game is unique and I can see why it would scare people but it's just not that good in my opinion.
