Five Nights is one of the few games where the cheap, crappy nature of the models works in its favour.

The first time Bonnie appears his sudden  and fist raising cracked me up like a loving idiot. He's not so above getting scared after all.

Markiplier's a lot like the Angry Videogame Nerd to me - his gimmick is kind of annoying, but when he's allowed to just talk and play and discuss things he's absolutely fantastic to listen to. I really, really wish I had the sort of enthusiasm he carries himself with; it's endearing in a silly way.

year199X posted:It takes place before and during the main game. You play as the guy that sent out the email that lured the reporter to the asylum. I would also say it's way more hosed than the main game. Yeah, there's a...certain sequence that puts the Strogg cutscene from Quake 4 to shame.

I dunno, as someone who suffers from mental illness I don't really think 'wow, mental illness sure is being shown in a negative way' as some dude hurls a chainsaw through the lower portion of my spine. Sure, if they're trying to piggy back a 'real' illness into some sort of murderous psychopath diagnosis then I'm with you, but it always struck me as a bit of an odd thing to get hooked on.

Yeah, it's difficult to understand why you think it's a destructive approach when you haven't explained your thinking behind it. As Hak says I don't think anyone who plays these games genuinely thinks someone that suffers mental illness is going to grab a chainsaw and disembowel anyone, or that a person admitted to an asylum is going to come out possessed by demons and waving a meat cleaver. Boring and lazy? Sure. Harmful to those who suffer? I dunno. I'm struggling to think of any actual damage games like Outlast have caused to support networks or the people attached to them, patient or not.

Put like that I can see where peoples' issues come from, so thanks for that clarification. I guess I'm just stuck on the distinction between something being actively harmful, and something just being too lazy to doing anything positive. Fair few games I'm seeing nowadays do seem to be treating the mentally ill as victims of circumstance and exploitation, rather than inherently psychotic, so I suppose it's a step forward in that sense.

Len posted:So whatever happened with that unkillable ghost that was going to make Evil Within a bad game? Were people just hitting panic buttons for no reason? He appears in a single chapter and can be hidden from. A lot of people in the main thread keep complaining about the difficulty and how they lost all their ammo, but I can only imagine they did this by staring at a wall and firing - non-stop - until they were dry.

A one hit kill enemy which is heavily telegraphed and can be dealt with using the environment. I don't think goons really seem to get the Evil Within.

I'll probably wimp out and just watch an LP of this one, but I'll buy the game anyway. Unless it turns out the developer is an actual Nazi or something, he seems pretty cool and does everything(?) by his lonesome. Worth a few bucks.

If you can tolerate his gurning, Markiplier's doing a run (uploaded it just before the full game was out I think). I love this guy because he's so enthusiastic.

The mask does not work like I thought it would!  I thought it'd protect you from the old animatronics, while you just had to be calm around the new ones and let them do their thing - the nights changing their appearance to be more like the old (I've seen new Chica 'unbeaked' already...) making the distinction much harder as you juggle more poo poo. This has backfired.

dijon du jour posted:It's a reference to "The Bite of '87". On one occasion the phone guy in the first game refers to an incident in 1987 when an animatronic bit off someone's frontal lobe. So that date on the paycheck pretty much confirms what the game has been hinting at ("Animatronics acting strangely towards staff" "Suddenly a new position has opened up on the day shift" "Someone snuck into the back and put on a golden Freddie costume and then...") which is that this game is a prequel and the game takes place during the infamous "Bite" and the missing children incident that began the restaurant's downward spiral. Yeah, it's not a hugely inventive thing but it's a neat addition and explains a lot. I think my only problem with the game is that it's more overtly supernatural than the first, but I guess it's not a huge stretch.

Morpheus posted:I just wish the plot was more coherent. It's not even discordant in a cool, insane kind of way. My friends and I are on, I think, Chapter 9, and there's little in the plot keeping us interested - it just seems like a random mishmash of locations with little or no reason to them at all. You're in a sewer! Now you're in a village! Now you're in some catacombs! Now you're back in the hospital! More caves! It makes a ton of sense!...once you finish the game unlock the model viewer, which gives detail on all the monsters and so on. I think they tried for a 'less is more' approach when it comes to story telling, but just ended up confusing the gently caress out of everyone instead.

Fojar38 posted:For what it's worth both games have been surprisingly well designed for being developed by one dude so I dunno if it's fair to label him a cash-grubbing sellout yet. Props to the guy for realizing his creepy human animation skills were better suited to creepy animatronics. As long as he continues charging the same cheap price for his games I think he's cool. Dude clearly puts a lot of love into the products.

FNAF2 has been described pretty accurately as a plate spinning simulator. You have to keep a music box cranked, keep track of animatronics and "flash" certain ones so they'll get stunned and back off, juggle the use of your mask (Foxy ignores it and the tolerance level other animatronics have for the delay between them being in the room and you putting it on gets smaller and smaller...) and so on. It's a much more hectic, much harder, game than its predecessor. Was pretty good thinking to have a lot of the story dished up through death screens. RadicalR posted:Yeah, they should've slid down. Oh well. And lock people in when the power is knocked out during a fire?

Just look at the many clones that have popped up. Say what you want about the developer, but you can tell when Scott's behind something - the jump in quality and care is huge.
