Adder Moray posted:The murders happened prior to the bite during FNAF2. That's why none of the suits were acting right. I'll write up a FNAF 1 through 3 timeline when I have time Hamshot posted:When did the murders occur in that timeline? Prior to FNAF 2, when there was just Golden Freddy at Fred Bear's Family Diner (the FNAF 2 minigame), that child's ghost became the marionette I assume, and then the others after the 4 original animatronics are finally introduced but still prior to FNAF 2 to explain why they're all psychotic then? Doesn't the Foxy minigame in FNAF2 imply that the five kids were killed while foxy was active? But he was never active while at the FNAF2 location. The only thing that I can think of is that five kids total (one outside and four more later on, inside) died at Fredbear's, then the killer came back and killed another kid at the FNAF2 location, which would explain the GIVE GIFTS/LIFE minigame having a fifth kid appear and immediately be obscured by the Golden Freddy jumpscare. With that said, only five kids show up during the minigame in FNAF3 where the killer hops into spring Bonnie, so I might be way off.

Can we just talk about how great the part where the purple man hops into the suit is? I love the way he snickers like a cocky assholes moments before getting springmurdered. He was REALLY CONFIDENT that that thing was ghost proof. For some reason. I probably found that scene funnier than I was supposed to, but then again FNAF is as much black comedy as it is horror so who knows.

His death throws the moment he dies are in the trailer. 2. They tell you exactly what happened in one of the calls. Do not breathe on the spring-locks. It was the laughing like a smug rear end in a top hat that killed him.

Hamshot posted:And something neat I noticed looking up stuff, the FNAF 2 Night 6 phonecall goes "Someone used one of the suits. We had a spare in the back, a yellow one, someone used it...now none of them are acting right." That must have been when the ghosts got the purple man into springtrap. He DID say there was an opening on the day shift. Most people assumed it would have been because of the murderer fleeing/being arrested... but perhaps it was because he got himself killed. This brings to question why the building was so run-down looking in the minigames in 3, though. Maybe the place just leaked during storms.

Wouldn't it make more sense if the yellow suit he used was Golden Freddy? It could've been the second suit designed to be worn. That doesn't explain why it's the hauntedest, though.

So I"m hankering for some more old school/traditional type horror and was eyeing up Siren Blood Curse. It's supposed to be good right? I figured that or Fatal Frame 3, but I've never been able to bring myself to finish the first 2.

The Siren games are very very hard to play honestly. I love em but would not recommend them. Fatal Frame 3 is excellent though, i'd point you towards that.

What's hard about them? Like unforgiving, bad controls, just poorly designed? But unless someone comes in here saying it's horrible with a good argument I'll probably most definitely get FF3. Wish I had a Wii U to play the patched version of 4 or 5.

FNAF always seemed like it was going the same route as Silent Hill - you've got your main storyline, which has its fair share of creepiness, but then you read into it and look at the big picture and suddenly there's dead children everywhere. I do think it worked better when all this stuff was in the background though. It's arguably become the main attraction of the game.Leper Residue posted:So I"m hankering for some more old school/traditional type horror and was eyeing up Siren Blood Curse.

Remember when there was that fad for US remakes of Japanese horror movies? That, but as a game. It's decent by itself, but there's some very annoying things about it, like the split-screen effect when you're being chased, or the fact that the main character looks like Frankie Muniz from Malcolm In The Middle.

Three is sort of the climax of a loosely connected trilogy, and knowledge/experience of the previous games will help you both aesthetically and mechanically when you play three. Of them, the first game is the straight-up hardest, the second game is extremely accessible and almost too easy, and the third is kind of just right, although all of them suffer from a "where the gently caress do I go now" syndrome.

I'd recomend EgoManiac's Siren LP's to anyone interested in the games but not willing to fight the awkward and janky controls. He covers EVERYTHING about them in detail, doesn't talk over the videos and it's played well. edit: One of the best things about the Siren games is that it's thoroughly creepy, tense and offputting even when you aren't playing the game. I tried watching some Fatal Frame LP's, but I don't know. Always feels like I'd have to be the one playing them for me to get the full effect.

E: ^^^ Dangit!  Leper Residue posted:What's hard about them? Like unforgiving, bad controls, just poorly designed? They're very... obtuse, let's say. Honestly, if you want to experience Siren, you'd probably be best off watching Egomaniac's LPs. All subtitled, so you're not gonna hear someone talking constantly, which is good because the voice acting in 1 is hilariously bad. 2 is probably the best of the lot, if only due to how god drat creepy and weird it gets at times. The stuff those games do with faces is kind of scary in and of itself, actually...

There's a ton of memorization involved, like enemy routes, landmarks in various, maps, etc There's also the fact that while there is a mission select, it doesn't appear until you've cleared X levels, which can cause you to replay some older levels repeatedly and lead to burnout if you aren't psychic and figure out what's needed to trigger alternate levels. (The game will give you a hint hte 2nd time around, but sometimes it's pretty obtuse)

Blood Curse has that level where the girl hides inside a Shibito house.  One of the best levels in a horror game.Which reminds me, I'm always on the lookout for ~ that level ~ in horror games, the one that just sticks with you after you finish your playthrough. If only, because I like finding them on Youtube and watching them because I'm a wuss  I dunno, the Plaster Splicer Basement in Bioshock, the Shibito House in Siren: BC, the Mall in Condemned (which I haven't been able to find a video on just yet, was it in 1 or 2?)

Apart from the Fox animatronic you would think the creator would have at least one more animatronic or gimmick where one of them slowly moves or sprints at you in the camera feed. Just seeing them move around live in that creepy 90's CGI animation down a hallway next to you would be terrifying and I'm kinda bummed the third game didn't have that since it's only one robot.

Chip Cheezum did a subtitled LP of it that flew under just about everyone's radar that's worth watching. I don't think he ever planned to do the second game, but that's not surprising, really.

I just had an epiphany that makes too much sense. Regarding how the purple man dies in the minigames in FNAF: it's after the events of FNAF 1 and the restaurant has since been shut down and the animatronics abandoned, explaining the boarded up rooms, rats, drips from the ceiling and being so empty. The purple man returns, perhaps haunted by the ghosts, and destroys the animatronics god-knows-how but is cornered by the ghosts, putting springtrap on. It explains how nobody noticed a corpse in one of the animatronics, how springtrap looks already quite raggedy in the trailer showing purple man's death throes, why it was the only animatronic the guys setting up the haunted house were able to locate and the layout of the animatroic heads in the good/bad ending screens.

The phone call where phone guy mentions spring bonnie being moved could just be a red herring, like all of the phone calls in FNAF2. Nothing explains why the murderer assumed the animatronic suit was ghost proof, though. Unless he figured if the ghosts couldn't get out of the animatronics without him destroying the suits, then they couldn't get to him through the suit, either.

I assumed that it was behaviour carrying over from the haunted robots, in that they'd leave you alone when you were dressed up like them. Purple Man starts laughing when the ghosts ignore him...only to trigger off all the mechanics and get himself ripped apart. That final scene was low in detail, but high in

The phone call where phone guy mentions spring bonnie being moved could just be a red herring, like all of the phone calls in FNAF2. It's one more thing that the trailer tells you outright. "He comes back. He always does. We have a place for him." Going by the flashbacks in the second game, Purple Man first killed near the original Fredbear's restaurant, though it was just one victim either outside of the restaurant itself or in a place where he couldn't be seen. He then got bolder and spree-killed four more children in the second game's location, luring them with the Gold Freddy costume, and then escaped or disappeared. The Marionette - which was either always a supernatural entity or possessed by the first victim - placed the murdered spirits in the other animatronics, which then started to get Scary at people. The Bite of '87 may have been a result of growing pains more than anything. Later, the killer stayed away from the restaurant chain as it went into its death throes, but apparently broke into the now-derelict location from the first game to destroy the suits and finish the job. He probably wasn't expecting horrible child-ghosts, though. They herded him into the restaurant's saferoom where Spring Trap was kept, and he put it on out of desperation. Then, other stuff happened.

At first I thought the purple guy was just one of the security guards dressing up to dismantle the animatronics so he could do his damned job in peace and then freaking out when the ghosts showed up But I guess that's pretty clearly not the case
