There was an actual story to that game?

Oh yeah... you think people were into that stuff for the gameplay?? XD

Yes actually >~<

XD
well, maybe its just me then?
but I find it hard to label much of anything in the mainline Fnaf series as anything more than tedious and frustrating as far as the gameplay itself is concerned. Feels like a grind.

Yeah, but then again people play stuff like CS:GO and stuff none stop so...yeah

But Seph, What about the Movie thing-a-ma-bob?

That, like the book series, is considered an alternate timeline... so it'll be its own thing entirely.
Though I mean... until there's a trailer, whatever man XD

But the true question to it all is; did you have fun touching and being touched by robots? o3o

XD
N-no comment!

Really? lawl
I like the 'hidden' way fnaf does its storytelling but I'm not fond of the games themselves. I'm eager to see the end of the story, see all the explanations.

Game Theory: The ending of FNAF is wrong! Again!

lols

I never enjoyed them as actual games, but the narrative I think was an ingenious way of getting people hooked. I know I loved figuring out the mysteries with the small clues dropped here and there as well as listening to the theories others had about the overall plot. I actually hope the creator finds more success with his storytelling with this or new and original plots.

If it's well and truly finally over I will remember to be thankful that you were the bearer of glad tidings. Thank you for this.

XD welcomes?
at the very least, should be no more games XD

It can't begin to fade from the collective conscious so long as the author keeps throwing yet another game onto the pile every few months, so it's certainly a start.

yups, true enough

My money's on the franchise continuing, just with a fresh, unconnected story.

Like what Kingdom Hearts has in mind after 3. x3

Personally, I'd like a game that takes place inside the cartoons/games that most likely are based on the Fazbear Entertainment characters that exist in-universe. Like the Star Fox parody in FNAF World.

In-universe, I can see someone buying up the Fazbear IPs for cheap and starting something new with them. Maybe an amusement park or something. Doesn't necessarily have to go for the horror genre is the good news!

It will never die!

Honestly I found this ending...... PATHETIC. im sorry but sister location had a perfect villian setup in Ennard and instead we get something that is kinda.....meh.

Looks like I now have to hope rhe youtubers who made them more friendly continue doing their thing. (EthGoesBoom especially! )

Ehh, I thought it was pretty good.
Certainly not as climatic a final confrontation as I'd have preferred... but that was a lot to hope for. Xp (especially from a single guy working a pretty minimalist game structure)

I'm sure other's will continue their different fandom things though, yeah

Hmmmm.... you make a good point. I dunno though....


Side note, what were your favorite games in the series?

Hmm.... FNAF 3 is probably what I consider my favorite. I feel like that was the height of accomplishment in terms of the original formula of the series. It was the first of the three games to actually make you use the entire camera system to an effective range, as it was required to keep luring Springtrap around the facility and locate him in the vents. With enough outside micromanagement to also keep you from staying in the cameras the whole time. It feels like the game that was closest to finding a balance in overall mechanics and using it to the maximum level of efficiency. The minigames to get the good/true ending were pretty neat too.

Sister Location is probably next in line just for taking things in such a radically new direction and doing it so well. And if anything, I'd blame FNAF6 not feeling quite as good just by comparison to what a game changer Sister Location felt like. Switching from the tried and true "same thing every day for five days" to a completely new activity every day as you follow a well choreographed story was pretty fun. Not every "minigame" was entirely fun perhaps? But it kept you on your toes and never let you settle in to a systematic routine. (At least until Custom Night came out later.) It was also one of the first titles in the series to legitimately answer so many questions and debunk so many thing we were certain we knew, while still giving us so many new questions to ask. (Which might be another reason FNAF6 feels disappointing... it just gives you all the answers and leaves no questions. XD)

And next, but also honorable mention for 'could have also been number one', is the first game. Gameplay wise it certainly isn't the best... but it set the stage for what was to come. It introduced the story and the mysteries. And it was hands down the creepiest entry in the series. The one thing I have missed the most from the first game was how in later nights, if you viewed the roaming animations in the cameras (particularly Bonnie and Chica's in the corner of the doors shots) you'd see their heads jittering and freaking out. That very simple animation was disturbing as fuck and one of the things I felt was sorely missing from all of the future titles. The literally random hallucinations were also a pretty powerful nerve wracker... especially if they were triggering Golden Freddy for the first time. Another missing staple of the first game...

From there its probably 2, 6, 4... and I dunno where to put World since that's a whole different beast. I don't wanna go into specific comment threads for each though... Two was a fun mess, that unfortunately boiled down to an "easier to win than the first game" routine that didn't even require the cameras, but it introduced Mangle so I can only complain so much. (Mangle is Best Pony.) Six seemed like a decent finale and a hell of a troll, but does feel lacking in a lot of ways. Four was just a hot mess no matter how you look at it. XD World was a fun meta-adventure that I quite enjoyed despite several infuriating flaws, and would probably list someday as a guilty pleasure.
