Normally I think 4chan posts are deranged and don’t really take them seriously, but this one is actually pretty accurate. I’m not a hater by any means, I just the find the games very… bland, and I do think they’re indirectly responsible for the deterioration of an entire genre of video games and directly responsible for the creation of probably the worst subgenre of video games, “mascot horror”

Also, the writing in the Fnaf games is trying so hard to be something it’s not. I think some parts work, and some parts really don’t.

Having a paranormal side to it, or at least an established, definite paranormal explanation in the story, is something I don’t think works. I think the best part of the original game was that these animatronics were seemingly just acting of their own volition, and that was much more intriguing than learning that it’s dead children’s souls in them.

What I thought worked pretty well was the guy having to hide from his creations in a suit, but forgetting the one kink in the suit and having that thing ultimately lead to his slow and agonizing death, with his corpse being forever trapped within an animated suit that seemingly doesn’t even realize it’s in there. Or the robots trying to stuff you in one of those suits because they think you’re a malfunctioning robot that needs to be fixed. There’s some clever parts, but the story just tried too hard to be emotional or personal and it really just fell flat with a 2D villain that doesn’t really make sense.
