I guess it's popular to get that temporary rush of fear that lasts for like a second and then it goes old really fast.

But it is not even scary. It is just a teddybear popping up in your face.

That's called a 'jumpscare'. In case you haven't been paying attention to youtubers (as games such as this, called youtube fodder, are often played mainly by the youtubers cause 'it's more fun seeing someone laugh at glitches/get scared'), that's a rather popular thing these days. All it does is generally make you 'jump in fear' from a split-second pop-up in your face. Feeding on surprise elements, in other words.

I have seen a few youtubers play but it is all just fake reactions. How that could entertain someone is beyond me.

What might be entertaining for some people might not be for others. You could say the same thing for anything acting-wise.

In this case, it just happens to appeal to the online audience.

Jesus christ why are these pieces of trash so popular?

The same reason Bad Rats is popular, because people love trash.

People are weird.

People only like bad rats ironically though, right?

Cawthon released the game even EARLIER than what he moved the date from.

Released!
JULY 23 - SCOTT
Ok, so as many of you already know, I'm bad with release dates. The game is finished. 🙂

Enjoy!

Also, I see there are comments about the full-screen option not working correctly, I'll have that addressed before the day is over. Few more minutes...

i don't want to associate with these people

I hate how reviews are based on how comedic or "original" people are when they aren't even serious. Funny reviews take over the more serious reviews and it leaves ratings one-sided.

Everything you need to know about Five Nights at Freddy's https://www.reddit.com/r/fnafcringe
The furry community needs some kind of ethnic cleansing, like a genocide. A Five Nights at Freddy's genocide. It's just a bad meme that some people took too seriously.

Oh, and, to celebrate the new trailer:

So I just opened youtube, a random video on my home page greeted me with Markiplier's coverage of this one. Quick google, this game is already released. Somehow it has a 96% rating on Steam. The fanbase...
You know what, I'm gonna give it a look, or at least watch somebody else give it a look, since I'm already on-board to hell with the upcoming reviews.

Meanwhile, a random review on Steam.

Here's my journey in FNAF 4:

  • Bought the game

  • Screamed a little out of excitement

  • Opened the game

  • Main screen = spoopy

  • "Night 1? Okay, this is going to be easy!"

  • Makes it past Night 1, sweating in buckets

  • "Night 2? Pfft, Easy."

  • Gets jumpscared by Cupcake - WTF

  • "I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL CUPCAKE!"

  • Restarts Night 2

  • "Okay... I.. I can do this"

  • Runs to door

  • Clicks on Flashlight

  • Hair turns White

  • Restarts Night 2

  • ";-;"

  • Squeaks Freddy's Nose as a last chance of hope

  • Runs to door

  • Listens for breathing

  • No breathing

  • Clicks flashlight on

  • Soul exits body

This review is a Positive one with 0.5h played (didn't make a screenshot cause I can't be assed to change the Steam language which changed on its own to Polish), was marked as helpful by 1322/1801 and 1987 people marked it as funny.
I would mark it as helpful too, if you asked me. It just shows how terrible the fanbase is. But who the hell marked it as funny when the most I can squish out of myself after reading it is 'pathetic'?

I'm pretty sure at this point, if Scott Cawthon released a game completely unrelated in story and gameplay to the franchise and called it "Five Nights at Freddy's 5", the fanbase would still protect it, rate it "10/10 spoopy" on Steam, and draw the most absurd connections to it.

Steam reviews are, unfortunately, not really on par with reviews from critics to say the least, especially considering the whole trend of writing ironically positive reviews for terrible games as a hilarious and original way of making fun of them. I can't say a Steam review has ever swayed or even influenced my decision to buy something. :/

Steam reviews suck. I always wait for gameplay or trusted sources to review the game before I ever buy anything.

Apparently, Scott in his rush to create the game in a surprising time made a few mistakes... and MatPat already made a vid on it. Oh well! This one covers the scientific aspect of the game, so yeah, another video on FNAF will be coming. And while I will never play the game, I'm actually pretty curious on how the lore has been resolved.
