Every game ever made loses some part of its appeal if watched on YouTube, seems a rather strange strategy to take that out on this one game.
Well then it is a good idea to take it out on this game because it's rather unwarrented unpopularity is it's downfall. If a game still cannot be entertaining when one sees a Youtube video, then it is not a good game.
OH What do you know, Five Nights at Freddy's 3 is out already. At this point, the series is already a joke in my eyes.
Jesus, and people still line up to play it? And i thought Call of Duty was stale.
As far as I know, Call of Duty isn't an indie game made by one man.
I mean, I know it's common to compare whatever you don't like and comes out frequently to Call of Duty, but it doesn't make much sense here.
And the games come out quickly— almost like an episodic series? No one's bashing Telltale for making TWD or Sam and Max games within a month between each episode. One more thing—
"If you seen it on Youtube, then you probably would know what to do, how to do it, and what spots the Animatronics usually go to. This in turn would make the game less scary."
So spoiling yourself on a horror game makes it less scary? You don't say.
"Get Amensia or P.T. or Alien Isolation, those are real horror games that can make you afraid and don't rely on the hope that you didn't see it on Youtube in order for it to be scary"
Pretty sure if I watched Alien Isolation on YouTube and looked up everything, including what the Alien will do and when and how to avoid it, it'll be less scary too.
You didn't have to look up F Na F in its entirety, you know.
"but it gets alot of unwarrented views of Youtube, which in turn make it even less scary."
It's less scary because other people watch it? What?
Also, the whole review reeks of "If I don't like it, no one should", and that's bad.
^Actually, I think The Alien in Isolation acts based on how you play, and plays to your weakness. I do agree with you, though.

That's most people on the internet for you.
Your problem is that you're watching videos of the game before hand. You can't blame the game for something that is your fault. Also, you do know that the gameplay isn't the only thing keeping the fanbase hooked right? The story is what everyone coming back to, not the gameplay (which is a problem but not the one you were talking about). Also, please remember there's a difference between watching a game and playing a game, watching a game may make you a little tense but playing the game is an entirely different experience
Okay, so before I wasn't entirely sure you weren't a butthurt flamebaiting troll. Thanks for clarifying that.

Ok, i want to ask anyone: how is this any scary? Ok, i can admit that it is rather unique as a horror game. However, honestly, it is a game that relies on nothing but cheap jumpscares. While i will admit the jumpscares can be scary once or twice if you never watched a Youtube Video of it, but they end up getting annoying fast. I mean...ooohoo that animatronic close to the door twitched, so scary. Ooh the animatronics get into your office and scream annoyingly, how scary.
While this is a game that has some bit of stradgy, the problem is if you seen it on Youtube. If you seen it on Youtube, then you probably would know what to do, how to do it, and what spots the Animatronics usually go to. This in turn would make the game less scary.
A good horror game shouldn't have it's appeal or scare factor diminished by the likes of Overeacting Let's players. A good horror game or movie should always remain creepy or scary one it's own, wither of not you watched it on Youtube or not.
Five Nights at Freddy's is not one of those games. It is a game that loses what little scare factor in it's cheap jumpscares if one views it on Youtube.
So basically, if you have a steam account, for some reasons haven't yet seen any videos or anything, then i guess it could be worth a try since it is only 5 or so dollars.
For anyone else who seen it on Youtube: My advice: Get Amensia or P.T. or Alien Isolation, those are real horror games that can make you afraid and don't rely on the hope that you didn't see it on Youtube in order for it to be scary.. Five Nights at Freddys is Slenderman of 2014: A so-called horror game that isn't scary, but it gets alot of unwarrented views of Youtube, which in turn make it even less scary.
Edit: Dang, Scott is lucky. I wish i could make "horror" games at a frequent pace that Call of Duty would blush at and still get people to line up, despite it undeserving to do so. I almost expect Five Nights at Freddy's 4 to come out again in 4 or 5 months and the next one in 5 months after that.
