I don't get it.

Why do people hate FNAF?

Is it because it's not scary? Well, I have the first game, but don't want to play it, because it's scary to me.
Is it because it's incredibly popular? I see no one bashing on Minecraft...
Is it because it's popular to furries? Why do people have to bash on Furries?

Then why does it get so much hate?

I don't hate the game, I just dislike the community. The amount of times I heard people on Game Theory spamming: MAKE A FNAF THEORY VIDEO!1!1!. Or the topic of the game always popping up. Its like the one scene in Finding Nemo with the seagulls. Eventually everyone gets tired of it and just say "Oh shuuuut up!". The community as friendly as it is, just needs to calm down a bit and stop acting like hyper-active kids.

Oh yeah. Felt sorry for MatPat. xD
I will say though, Game Theory's FNAF videos are so interesting. Makes me appreciate the story of the games.

I have avoided talking about Five Nights At Freddy's simply because my opinion of it is meh. No doubt there would be uproar if I announced this in like a description or something which is personally why I have avoided it xD and lucky for me no one has made requests or anything (cuz some people made fab skins!!!)

What I dislike about it personally is the game. I like how Game Theory unpicked it and everything, and the storyline/concept behind it seems real cool but for me the game just doesn't deliver. Personally I think it's repetitive aha (ik ik most games are) but your 'player' literally stays in the same room, clicking objects, and for me I like to physically move my character.

I also like there to be a battle element to most of my games, where I as a player can do something to prevent my death. From what I know, there aren't any 'upgrades' in FNAF and all 3 (4?) of the games look very similar. Character is also a real draw for me as I find myself engaging with them and investing into their back stories and personalities (you know feels etc.) and FNAF isn't a game that's designed for that really - (though the fanbase have really taken away something that they love from it, which I think is great! If you find something you love stick with it)

I don't hate the fanbase (not in a million years) but I just don't like being exposed to FNAF so much, as I thought I was the only one who didn't care for it xD

I think that people do "bash on furries" but I think that it has little or none to do with FNAF. People bash on furries for what many of them do, but I don't think they should bash on furries, but on their actions. Even for furries who do not participate in what some of the bad things that the others do, are still supporting the others by being a furry. I don't think that people should be bashing on FNAF if they do JUST because furries like it. Should we be bashing on school mascots too? IDK...that's just my two cents...

Sorry if I upset anybody.

I wasn't saying that you openly support it but that good furries are grouped in with the bad ones and that being a furry is a way of supporting them I think that the idea of "furries" was probably just a fandom at first but then many furries acting in the way they do made the fandom corrupt and now people are under the impression that ALL furries are bad. They just have a bad rap I suppose. It kinda' sad really...

I can understand why people like it, and I have no problem about people liking it. I don't hate the game. I probably would play the last few if someone asked. But its taking over all other games, INCLUDING MINECRAFT, and its really annoying. Whenever I say for people to calm down, and stop fangirling and stuff like that, everyone yells at me. And hates on me. And completely rips me to shreds. Its mostly just the fanbase that bugs me, and i'm pretty fine with the game. To all those people talking about it on minecraft, well... We all already know everything you have to say about it, so please stop.

PurpleeFNAF has nothing to do with furries.


Now if only furries thought this.

Like I said before, I just get tired of seeing it everywhere I go. I don't hate the game, it's not that great, but I don't hate it. I payed five dollars, and I got five dollars of entertainment. I payed the money, I had my fun, now I want nothing more to do with it. You've got a better chance avoiding Minecraft related things than you are Five Nights at Freddy's related things, especially when you're a furry.


Hmmm... O_o

I should probably get out of this topic before I accidentally start a fight... XD

I only dislike it because this is what I see in the comment sections of those videos:

"Hay guyz I caem up wit theory. wut if purpl guy is actully freddy?1? omg!"
"You copied <Insert name of streamer here> who played this first!1!!!"
"FNaF should be gaem ov the YEAR!"

And then there's the occasional person who says something like this:
"How can anyone NOT like this beautiful MASTERPIECE of a game!?"

I mean, you guys can have your fun, but the things some of the more extreme fans say annoy me

I don't hate FNAF. I respect it as a game, although that respect might go away if I learn more about it. I honestly could care less.

It's probably because I don't care about it that the massive amount of skins/maps/texturepacks/threads annoys me so much. I'm just sick of seeing it absolutely everywhere. It's like teen skins. They're fine, but they're everywhere, and I'd rather look at things I'm actually interested in.

There are seem to be quite a few people who have accounts posting ~75% of their content on this stuff, and at low quality (like bucketfill skins).

Including resource packs, some of which people make 3+ different versions, I'm assuming for the "different" games? I found at least 4 people who updated these type of packs in the last month.

So that's why I dislike it. I mean, what if tons of children started spamming Roblox packs or Club Penguin packs or Barbie's Magical Funland Adventure (if these could be easily achieved in Minecraft)? It's one thing to make a pack in the same style of a 5+ year old game (that isn't over-saturated in the resource packs community) that has a good art style (Scribblenauts, Zelda Wind Waker, Okami) and another to make a pack about a normal game that people are still heavily playing, especially when DOZENS of people are going to make roughly the same pack as you.

It's like "Simplecraft 2.0" with a game theme. CoD doesn't need a resource pack, Angry Birds doesn't need a resource pack, Flappy Bird doesn't need a resource pack, and FNaF doesn't need a resource pack. If people want those packs, maybe they should search for them since if something is being done to death they don't need to make it.

Or maybe if they like FNaF so much, they should go play FNaF. I'm not quite sure why anyone would want to turn Minecraft into that different of a game, anyways. I might understand it for Minecraft-like games, but I don't feel the need to take something completely different and make a shoddy remake of its graphics in Minecraft.

For me, it's because the art and how much people exaggerate it.
The graphics and art? I mean, the graphics are...fine...HD and stuff.
But the art? The concept designs? The walls, characters, screens...the art style that they use in this, however realistic, makes my mouth taste bad. It's almost to the point where it visually hurts.
But my friends... "Oh, its really fun and scary--you'll love it." "Its SOOO SCARY"
It didn't live up to my expectation.
But if you like it, i dont mean to disrespect your opinion.

Actually, this is exactly why I don't like it. I don't really like it to begin with because its just a boring game and concept to me, yet everywhere I go, there it is. I can't get away from it and its maddening. I kinda miss not having it plastered everywhere I go when I'm tying to browse a little art or something.

Sure the fanbase can be pretty awful, but the game has a pretty good story to it, also, in relevance to FnAF 4 is something to do with Freddy Fazbear's Diner, the place before FnAF 1-3, but that's only my guess.

I will agree, getting a bit ridiculous.

FNAF is making Call of Duty seem slow. xD

As for the developer wanting to make money: THAT'S THE POINT!
People are bad-mouthing him for trying to make money, even though that was the reason he made the series in the first place. Just sayin.

How the dev only wants to get money. The first one was all hype, then he released the 2nd one (Still didn't buy it, waste of money, I don't spend $ on apps xD(#BeSmart, #AndroidMasterRace)) But it seemed like my friend was freaking out about the 2nd one coming out then the next day he was talking about the 3rd one. There's barely any update to the game is the real thing that bothers me. Just re-textures.

The first game was a unique and great idea, with lots of willing fans to back that up. Two was decent and three was just bad. Its all a money making strategy. He could've easily added 2 and 3 as dlc or something.

I personally have nothing against the game, but I think it's mainly due to the developer, Scott Cawthon, releasing the games too fast and jokes about it. Now there is nothing wrong with Scott, he's a pretty cool guy donating a lot of the profit he makes from the games to charity, but releasing the games too fast resulted in people making jokes about it and also the growing popularity made people hate it and gave other people who never played it the assumption that they should hate the game aswell. Now this may not make sense, but it is like Call of Duty and Dark Souls. There is that big assumption that Call of Duty is a bad game because all of the little kids playing it or when people make it seem that Dark Souls is an impossible game it make it harder than it seems when it isn't as hard as people make it out to be.

The gameplay... I only play the game for the story and lore behind it, if people say there is not one, they should dig deeper, there is a hidden story that you have to piece together from dialogue and those little min-games within the game. (GameTheory does an excellent job at explaining the story, plus the third game makes it seem like there is a story more than the last two)

I wish gameplay was different, but the only reason I play and enjoy the game is the story of the game, it is very interesting to find clues and uncover the mystery!

(Scott is "milking" the series, but COD, Sport games (EX: Madden) are doing this as well and no one realizes it, a lot of people would milk a game if it got popular, lets face the facts here, he is doing what a normal human would)
