I think it's more of how big it blew up at the start it was different for a game but once everyone knew it was a jump scare type of game most found it not scary, and for those whoe were already into scary stuff this wasn't much for it.

I like the lore behind it, trying to figure it out is definitely fun.

As for the jump scares, they are just that, jump scares. I do like the general creepy appearance of the animatronics but other then that its not very scary. But I still like it as a whole, even if it does not scare me. Its amazing what the game accomplished considering how low cost and basic it is. This game literally could have been on the Sega CD back in 95 and had the same tech level. Its quite the feat.

BTW, Get back to work doing Peg porn!

^.^

anything a furry sees with 2 legs and antrho head.....they'll go nuts

Basically this.

From what I've seen it's a mix of things... it's jumpscares done slightly differently, so people suddenly think it's something new.

Personally, I thought it was nice story-wise until I saw tons of people throwing up theory videos and throwing creepypastas based on it allover the place, then fnaf3's announcement nearly days after fnaf2's release told me stay away from the cash grab.

Furries wet their social media pants the moment some form of entertainment features something anthropomorphic in it. And then they fawn all over it for years. The pony thing is still far from done.

I think that is an odd "furry steriotype" thing to say really. I never heard of the game before I started to see fanart, I checked it out and didn't enjoy it that much as I hate scarry games.
BUT the game design is very simple and very well made, the lore is well done and very interesting as it is never told directly towards you.

I understand why many fell for the game(s) no matter if it is because of furry robots or not.

The CSI episodes years ago made a massive uproar as well.

I'm annoyed by it's hype too. It's like, one day, it didn't exist, and the next day, everywhere barfed it right into my face. Tumblr, Youtube, this site, suddenly it's everywhere. If people like it, that's fine, but I just don't get it either.

Where is mah stuff!?! >:U (just kidding!)

Also have you lived under a rock? xD
The game itself is quite good, never played it myself but I have enjoyed seeing others react to it. But why is it popular? I think there is different reasons:
- Some people really gets scared by jump scares, but it is also about the amount of stress it gives to figure where the characters are to avoid to get killed.
- The game goes into some spesific kind of fears... now we didn't have any "Chucky Cheese" kind of places but some kids might have been scared of those things... and now there is a game with them which maybe taps into some experiences that the players had as kids.

I wantched Pro-Jared play the first one and he as well laughed at it and shared the same opinion as you, but he liked the second game because it was just harder.

All in all have it just been a good game created by 1 guy which is just amazing... gameplay is very simple and there isn't too much elements to think about other than "survive the night" which really works for many people.


But I am unsure of one thing... you just say you see it everywere but do you not enjoy it? I personally like must of the fanart out there.

No, my friends have made me watch MANY AND MANY eps of it on youtube and it just doesn't do anything for me. Like I sais, once I stared hearing about the story and the lore behind and found it kinda interesting, but aside from all that....Nothing

Oh everything that gets big gets spread around, and theres always a bit of a backlash from late-adopters/non-adopters who just get bombarded by the sudden fanbase XD its natural.

As for the game itself, did you try playing it? :3 Its actually quite ingeniously designed. The experience of playing it is quite different from how you imagine it would be when watching someone else play it. Very clever psychological stuff at effect there.
