Five Nights at Freddy's. The indie horror game where animatronics from a pizzaria try to murder you - Games

The phone message on the last day that's all garbled seems to always be translated into the same thing, something about a labratory and "The joy of creation." So maybe the animatronics were advanced malfunctioning robots illegally obtained by the owners?

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;45758270]Seeing how many necks you can break as they try and charge around a hotel with very limited visibility? :v: That and asthma attacks.[/QUOTE] The guy nominated to play the security guard is sitting in his 'security office' hotel room with the lights out, playing with his Limited Edition Fan Minifigure (with realistic whirring sounds!) when he hears a horrific wheezing sound. He flicks on the light, and a bowling-ball shaped man squeezed into a Foxy costume is stuck in the doorframe, breathing heavily as he tries to summon enough breath to SKREEEEE. Behind him are the rest of the Foxies, half of them trying to push him through the doorway, the other half trying to pull him back out.

[QUOTE=Lambda 217;45758049]Okay, here's my own ultimate theory for this game. Freddy and his band [url=http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140817194920/five-nights-at-freddys/images/6/69/Maskless_Freddy.png] without their masks[/url] look like fully functional robots, rather than just an animated support frame for a costume. So maybe the owners of Freddy's Pizza, being sterling executives, decided to blow their budget on buying the most expensive animatronics possible. The state of the art endoskeletons they buy are not only capable of movement, but can be adapted to any costume or role with their sturdy chassis and advanced programming. The dude who sets up the animatronics for Freddy's, however, is kinda a lazy chode. The animatronic's internal clocks are accidentally stuck on 31st of October. This has no noticeable effects in the day, when the animatronics are just running preset animations like singing to entertain the kids, but at night, when the animatronic's programming is fully active in Free Roam, the date glitch causes them to believe it's Halloween, and thus sets their personality mode to 'Haunted House' rather than 'Children's Entertainment'. Detecting the night guard via the Surveillance Cupcake, the adaptive intelligence of the spooky-mode mascots promptly begin a show designed to give an adult human (i.e the guard) a scare. They pull faces at the cameras, move things about, and Freddy (the endoskeleton designated as leader) assembles a story about murders and haunted mascots, which he shows to you via putting up posters near your cameras when you aren't looking, and making fake recordings of a previous guard (Phone Guy) to ensure Mike is sufficiently spooked by the mascots. Foxxy, however, is kinda busted, so all his processor can manage for a spooky surprise is running up to you and yelling. Freddy himself even sets up a hologram of an eyeless version of himself and projects it through the office window in a style similar to Pepper's Ghost. When the mascots reach you, they shriek and run up to you as part of their 'Trick Or Treat' protocols. However, poor Mike is so stressed out he simply flees the building screaming. The game ends with a shot of a creepy Freddy head the band planned to assemble if all their other tricks failed to spook you.[/QUOTE] So where does that leave the whole[sp]shoving you into a suit until practically nothing of you remains[/sp]business?

[QUOTE=TomReeves;45758308]Why the harsh response?[/QUOTE] That's not even Facepuch's usually snark. That's you saying "I'll totally stream if you spoonfeed me on how to do it. Oh and buy me the game. Oh and I'm 12 and will probably be awful at streaming." Let's not even get into how you sold yourself; Facepunch isn't keen on begging. There are sometimes specific threads for begging, especially for Steam games. This, it be not.

Well Freddy caused me to stay up late till 3am and lose sleep again because I was constantly peeking over my covers to see if chica was giving me the death glare. I'm actually afraid I'm gonna have night terrors starring the animatronics When I play eve online i sometimes feel like Bonnie is gonna pop out of the starless void and spook me

I nutted the fuck up and played this finally. Freddy just does not even give a single shit about you or your tactics. He just does whatever the fuck he wants. That goddamn fucking fox in the Pirate Cove is so unnerving when it runs. Am I crazy or is there a fifth animatron that's a yellow Freddy without eyes? Or did i just mistake the birdchicken for Freddy?

I always imagined the security guard looked like Christian Bale in The Machinist [t]http://puu.sh/b1UxY/b555e4b3fd.jpg[/t] skinny, sleazy, restless etc

[QUOTE=Javascript;45758473]Am I crazy or is there a fifth animation that's a yellow Freddy without eyes?[/QUOTE] No, it's a thing. He's not so much an animatron, per se, he just teleports in or fucks with your screen on occasion. And yeah, Freddy don't give no shits.

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;45758336]Mild rudeness and snarkiness are sort of normal. I suggest lurking around here some more, for real, while you pick up on how the culture works here.[/QUOTE] I've never felt the need to be extra rude to ppl online. What's the point?

[QUOTE=Nameisthis;45758510]Why would you even beg for Five nights at Freddys? If you gotta beg for it, you're [del]k[/del]not ready for Freddy then.[/QUOTE] When you're young, you don't always have access to instant-use money. I understand why someone would, but Facepunch isn't an open invitation to do so. And hell, sometimes when you're older, paychecks and bills don't line up when that $60 game you -really- wanted comes out. I've loaned friends' money before for that, and get paid back in equal or greater value when they do get paid. :v:

This is something that people should find out on their own, the game's biggest mechanic is fear of the unknown and uncontrollable, and the tension of knowing you could mess something up and cause yourself to lose (jumpscare is a punishment, not a mechanic to throw a left hook with no cause) is what makes it an enjoyable mini horror game to many people instead of an annoying "haha ur scared" jumpscare marathon

And yeah, Freddy don't give no shits.[/QUOTE] I ran out of power at 5am on night 4 and the yellow fucker kept popping up on my screen, shortly thereafter EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHfox shows up. I can see what people mean by the AI "learns". Freddy fucking tricked me so hard on night 3 a few times.

One of my friends stated that you can win the game by not touching the mouse once the night started. At all. It was apparently only on earlier versions. [sp]Fuck that friend. That's the most nerve wracking shit let me tell you.[/sp] [sp]It doesn't work on 1.13. Don't know if it ever did.[/sp]

He supposedly got up and went afk, and aside from a few IT'S ME hallucinations while sitting in the office not doing anything, the game happily played on without anything happening. The uploaded video speeds through the night at higher speed and then there's a fade transition he accidentally left in when slowing back down at 6am to win. (read: transition to another clip so the ending screen doesn't show the "tampering with the electronics" pink slip)

Not to mention that, as a kid, I was super afraid of Chuck E. Cheese. Something about animatronic movement scares the tits right off me. I haven't read any strategy, it's a lot more rewarding when you figure out how they try to get to you

Did we ever decode Golden Freddy's voice?

I don't see a reason to be especially sceptical about such an uninteresting find as a glitch that causes nothing to happen when the game isn't receiving any input from the player. If I recall correctly, certain events still have a chance to occur when AI is set to 0 anyway (I seem to remember someone doing a 20/20/20/0 run and still getting screwed by Foxy).
