I did a video playing the latest FNAF (4).
Rating wise, it’s probably one of my worst videos ever:
Which is totally fine, that’s not why I’m writing this… the point is: fans were upset over the video and I just wanted to explain a few things around it.
The main reason people were upset is because I wasn’t scared while playing it. A lot of people know me on YouTube as being easily scared. So of course people want to see me play the game to see me get scared.
That’s not what they got, so they dislike the video - Fair enough.
Some fans even damn right demanded that I “faked reactions” for the sake of entertainment.
Fake reactions? It’s what fans wanted right? So why don’t I just do that? I’ll get more views, fans will be happy, everyone is happy? YAY, right?
I don’t know… I don’t want to?
I explained in the video that the reason I don’t find it scary is because after you played the first 3 games. You learn the mechanics, you understand how the game works, you know exactly what to expect, there’s no unknown or surprises anymore. Fear of the unknown if the biggest key to horror and that’s gone. What’s left?
A dull game that people are begging me to play:
I could go on, but you get the point…
Many also asked: “WELL IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE GAME, WHY DO YOU PLAY IT?”
How will I know if I like it or not if I don’t play it? Also: If I don’t play it, fans will get upset (you’ve seen the demand for it).
I actually liked the first 2 games! But apparently this game is the holy grail of gaming and any criticism to it will result to all of this.
Again, I could go more in depth about how this game objectively don’t hold up to the other 3 titles, but these were my main points and I’m going on for too long already!
To be honest, I’m kinda proud of myself for not bullshitting myself through the game for fan pleasing and views. *Pats myself on the back*. Not sure if 2012 PDP would’ve done the same…
Now, here’s the video, some people enjoyed it at least. :-)
tl;dr: Don’t hate the playa hate the gaem
Can I also just say that I’m a fan of Scotts work and I don’t hate FNAF. It’s just the insane fan craze over the games that puts me on the spot and I have to respond this way.
