One of my favorite spectator sports lately is keeping an eye on r/fivenightsatfreddys/. The Five Nights at Freddy’s community is truly incredible, and I feel like this whole phenomenon is something someone could write a pretty fascinating book on eventually. The fandom is so obsessed with FNAF, anything vaguely negative causes quite a stir. Needless to say, the reaction to this “honest trailer" for Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 ($2.99) has been pretty predictably negative.
It reflects a lot of the criticisms commenters around here have had about the game series, in an amusing honest trailer way. Definitely give it a look if you’ve found yourself in camp “I don’t get it." If you want to try to get it, you can always take a look at Shaun’s FNAF plot guide, it’s a remarkably comprehensive look at what’s been happening in the games.
Personally, I wish I could get in to them, but jump scares just don’t work on me. I guess I’m just genetically predisposition to eventually get eaten by some big scary thing with lots of teeth that pops out at me because I don’t immediately flee in terror. Oh well, it seems like as good of a way as any to go.
