That's a nice argument. Unfortunately, you posted an opinion that isn't the same as mine on the internet, so now I need to cope hard that someone on the internet thinks differently than me.
I'll say it, FNaF 4 was done dirty. I think it has the best designs, characters, and story of the franchise and was worthy of having the Bite of 87 in it before the retcon. Such a shame that it's mostly ignored by Scott and most of the community nowadays, even Sister Location gets more love. I think that Nightmare Fredbear has the best design, best voice, and best origins. He's definitely on par or even above Springtrap. The quote about him being real was the coolest quote from the game. That's just my thoughts on the game.
this game terrified me when i first played it, so much so i had to abandon it. all these years later, this game is still just as scary and enjoyable. definitely one of my favorites!!
This was the only fnaf game that scared me, so much so i never got past night 3, out of context the nightmares' designs may feel goofy and overly or cartoonishly evil looking but in the context of the game and the dark hallways, they really do work well, i feel it was a natural progression once the idea of things moving that shouldn't stops being scary.
so true about the in context designs. i think all the designs in fnaf 4 look silly, but when theyre actually in the dark i change my mind real quick lol
@@yharim180 Then I see people say he "He isn't scary, he doesn't even have a jumpscare!" But being only 1 of 2 animatronics in the entire franchise - the only other one being golden freddy - is creepy as *Hell.*
regarding the "blast your ears off" complaint, I agree that saying the game relies on doing so to scare you is baseless, but I DO take issue with how high you have to crank the volume just to BARELY hear the sound cues that are CRUCIAL to the gameplay, only to have the jumpscares SO LOUD it can literally actually cause hearing damage. It makes it inaccessible to anyone with less-than-near-perfect hearing, and dangerous to anyone who plays. It is a great game though. I just can't play it because of the VAST difference in decibels between the breathing sound cues and the jumpscares.
@@jerakaigamez Also, there was a patch that changed the audio levels 4 days after release. So those reviews before July 27 all had pre-patch "blast your ears off" that was actively painful and left your ears ringing you had to crank the volume so much. Post patch the breathing is still quiet but not giving yourself hearing damage.
agree. i kinda hate when people dunk on fnaf 4 for being “the downfall of the lore”. I also hate people who say it isn’t scary, because it is clearly the scariest game in the series. (yes, even scarier than fnaf 1, sorry fnaf 1 glazers 😭)
i have always said, while fnaf 1 is definitely my favorite, fnaf 4 is the only one that still scares me, the audio mechanic and YOU having to be the one to press that flashlight button and see if they are there is so tense and genius game design, plus the lore, character designs, jumpscares, and overall setting is super unique and cool for the franchise, i mean if you go back to when the game came out, everything that game added was new and creative for the most part
I love FNAF 4, the only one I practically beat, I can draw nightmae Bonnie from memory, perfectly looking at him, I loveee the nightmare animatronics. They're seriously my favorites. The story is so cool and so are the mechanics. If there was a Twisted Animatronics game, that'd probably the only one to beat fnaf 4 for me.
The first one feels creepy, not scary but an uncanny feeling of creepy The 4th is straight up terrifying, the jumpscare provokes such a good fight or flight response
FNAF 4 was also the first one to introduce some coherent plot (not the lore, series have had a lot of lore before, but a story that is connected to the player himself), and oh boy I wish we had more of this than... you know... what happened since Pizzeria Sim. No offense to the devs, but they took not the best route.
Y'know I subbed to you not too long ago and I have to say, I love your content man, in a time of brainrot everywhere, this is stuff i can actually sit back and watch happily, keep it up and just know that your doing a great job and I love you
I absolutely love Nightmarionne. Because Nightmarionne is the best well designed character, and in my opinion a character that is criminality underused in this franchise. In fact, I have had a theory about this version of the puppet for a long time now. And my theory is that Nightmarionne is the physical representation of death itself. Because the original Puppet in FNAF 2 is supposed to give life to the dead kids that Afton has killed right? But Nightmarionne, I think he give death to people. A sort of a grim dark version of the puppets give life sort of idea in FNAF 2. IN fact look at his appearance in FNAF VR for example in the mini game, "Night Terrors". Nightmarionne is literally trying to get to you. And all you have is a flashlight to make him go away. In fact the mini game night terrors even adds to my theory about Nightmarionne. A representation of death itself, coming for you in anyway it wants. Under your bed, in your closet, on your ceiling, or even behind your own door. And that is truly terrifying. I know it might be a theory, but a theory that could be possible.
its easily the best one cause it forces you to get immersed into it with the sound forcing you to give it your full attention just for all of that attention to be broken by some of the most terrifying monsters ever
My biggest issue (Besides the aforementioned fact that the game forces you to set your volume stupidly high only to deafen you with a jumpscare.) is the total lack of uncanny valley the animatronics have had in literally all the other games. For me the horror of FNAF was mostly in it's visual design and humanoid robots that are just inhuman enough to make you feel afraid of them. FNAF 4 ditches that completely for a generic horror monster look, which in my opinion throws the entire point of FNAF out of the window.
I do feel thats an issue with alot of newer fnaf games and it kinda started here. Im excited for the new mimic game since it kinda reminds me of that old feeling
Honestly, this game scared the crap outta me as a kid, so i never played it. But I always could handle watching other's play it, which was funny to me. But it still always scared the crap outta me. I think it was always the fact that it was dead silent too- but I've always loved the game play and how you'd play it! One of my favorites
To think I FINALLY found someone brave enough and intelligent enough to comprehend the culinary complexity that is FNAF 4. And- YOU JUST BEEN HAD JERK! I KNOW *_YOU_* ARE THE KRABBY PATTY SECRET RECEPIE!
just a few days ago I finally 100% completed the series (1-6) and I'm stuck between FNaF 4 and SL. 4 had always been my favorite but after replaying Sister Location and having a proper playthrough of it's custom night (I beat Golden freddy) I'm pretty torn between these two. Great video though!
Great game analysis! I may not agree with you but this is really well put together, and reaches a wide variety of aspects. I will say I did greatly enjoy playing FNAF 4 and doing the challenges (of which I still haven’t done them all :P). I will say one thing: if you play so that Foxy never enters your closet, it’s an amazing gameplay loop, however I feel that once Foxy is in the closet, the gameplay loop immediately deteriorates. I enjoy gameplay loops where you have to make decisions: in FNAF 4 this is, do I go to the left door, right door, or bed? There are so many factors that go into this: how long it’s been since you’ve flashed Freddy, where Foxy is, the last time you flashed Bonnie or Chica, where Bonnie or Chica is, what footsteps you’ve heard, how much the screen is flashing black, many many things. This is why I find the gameplay loop so enjoyable. Once Foxy’s in, you can just do: left door, right door, closet, bed, repeat. Boring. Anyways, that’s all I’m here to say. Thanks for reading :3
I can kinda see your point with foxy, although i dont entirely agree i think it turns the game from making decisions on where to go to making decisions on how long you spend on each threat! I enjoyed reading this!
I absolutely agree, in my opinion, fnaf 4 has the best lore building and more complexity, the designs of the animatronics are absolute goated, plus 5 days to the party is my fav fnaf minigame and its kind of impressing that its the fnaf that ocuured in the cronological line of the franchise 😁
My fav is sister location. Playing and watching it for the first time was an incredible experience, seeing the game at the time of its release and all the theories etc, it was peak, as well as one of the best and most mechanical custom nights any fnaf has ever offered. "I can't fix you" is one of the, if not, the best the living tombstone music and the game has one of the best designs, the Funtimes are extremely cool, and Funtime Freddy's voice is iconic, he is my favorite character till this day
@@jerakaigamez Lol, nostalgia also adds to it, SL released in a time of my life where I was obsessed with fnaf, I bought it as soon as it released and till this day The only night I didn't do yet is the 10/20 which I'm intending to do in my college vacation. But if you don't mind me asking why do u dislike it? I don't know if you have a video about it, probably. If you want, drop the link down below :) Great content, and fnaf 4 for sure is in my top 3
Fnaf 3 is definitely one of my favorites, however it's kinda boring on later nights because of only ONE animatronic, that can kill you. But the office, and ambience is just so good!!
I also think fnaf 4 was the best because the nightmare animatronics are really creepy and another thing is that the jump scares are really loud on x box one since the volume has to be really high to hear the breathing and footsteps so when you mess up it’s insanely loud which adds to the fear of the game the end game mini games were also really fun and added a lot of lore and the Halloween update in this game is probably the best
Yeah this game is peak (2nd fav behind hw 2) Fnaf 4 was designed with the intention of traumatizing anyone who dared to play it, and it is a very hard fear to get over, even replaying it 5 times and ive only successfully beaten it once And the tension and anxiety in the sound design, atmosphere and enemy aggression makes it all the more scary and fun to play, which is why i felt so depressed transitioning from this to sister location lol This is the only fnaf game that i could feel my heart pounding in my chest
time to gladly ramble about my love for this game Five Nights At Freddy's 4 along with Sister Location are the most unique enties in this series and i'm ALL for it. Just the menu along is untherworldy and feels outta place. Usually you get rough static but NOPE just a silenc score with what sounds like wolves in the back. The atmosphere and sound design is to me AT IT"S BEST in this game the clock chime,the dog barking the silent melody while gentle doesn't feel safe. The bedroom is a simple yet effective location the creaky doors that BEARLY hold back the animatronics ans the fact that a simple ordinary flashlight is ALL you have to fend off DEAMONS is again simple yet affective as your tools are so unreliable in the first game you doubt your safty a lot but you NEVER doubt that the doors will keep you safe. The story is my FAVORITE one in ALL of FNAF all you know is you're a young boy who is afraid of the animatronics and has a Psychic Friend Fredbear. The way this is expanded upon the brother randomly harassing you outta nowhere,to being locked in the backroom all leading up to the party. You're on the floor crying as usual and the brother done got his whole squad on your ass. They take you to give Fredbear a big kiss and then....... CLAMP! Your head is crushed by the animatronic's massive jaw and all your brother and his gang can do is watch in horror and regret. The final scene of the child(or Evan as we cal him) is last seen talking to his Psychic riend Freadbear(Matpat's gone so let me enjoy this) while one by one hid Freddy,Bonnie,Chica and Foxy plushies dissapear living Fredbear and he makes a promise to "put him back together" and then vanishes and all we hear is a silent flatline as Evan passes on. Just damn that's so cold,sad yet epic this game is usually just seen a s"trying to hard" or "jumpscare simulator" but I see it as the tale of how bullying can get you and others into some really deep shit. This game obviously deserves this score which is a perfect 8/8
I honestly think it’s just the newer fans who complain.. all my friends (og fans) agree this is one of the best games in the franchise (I like sister location best)
I always enjoyed this game, but I do think that the audio cues can be criticized. It makes the game inaccessible to people like me (I am unilaterally deaf). To Scott's credit, I can't visualize any way to add a visual cue to someone creeping up behind your door. also, points to Scott for having Foxy sneak into your closet have a visual cue. while not every game is going to cater to everyone, it does suck when some demographics are inherently barred from engaging with them.
I can understand this. I'm colourblind and the poppy playtime games dont have a colourblind mode. i think maybe have a 1 second warning flash when your at a door but then it turns into a reaction game
The only games I know of that implemented subtitles for non-dialogue and actually have it work well was Baldi’s Basics Plus and BBCR (although it’s overpowered in that game lol) But yeah being barred does suck. There may be more but I’m not aware of them.
Ive Recently Started To Like FNAF 4's Gameplay But I Just Cant Get Over How Terrible The Nightmare's Designs Are (Besides Fredbear And Plushtrap) And How Unscary The Game Is The Flickering Flashlight Mechanic Ruins Any Suspense
The issue with sound that I hear the most and agree with that makes it a flaw isn’t that the same relies on sound. Because most the rest after 4 do too. It’s the fact that like you said everything is quieter. So you’re listen to a quiet subtle “breathing” and in the event you miss it you’re punished with an extremely loud obnoxious scream. That feels cheap. Missing an intentionally muddied “breathing” sound effect to be punished with an overly loud jumpscare. I’ll grant you that yea it make it the scariest. But not for the environment but simply the shock of the noise. “But that is the point, to scare you.” And is the cheapest way to do so. I’d say it’s a difference of scared and startled. 4 startles me. That’s the point of the game, but the only part I find scary is the story, the build up to the bite was more effective then the environment to me. Not them lurking in the halls of the Freddie’s cackling on the bed. The story of child abuse, then a “oops you listened wrong” scream to shock. The game is meant to scare me, not just be startled by a overly loud scream. Foxy’s false scare is the exception as that’s the only one I don’t anticipate. Fnaf 4 is designed so my walls are always up Fnaf 1’s environment hits me more then the bedroom. Seeing them waiting at the door does it more then seen them slink away. Seeing what looks like could be a real robot freaks me out more then the over exaggerated nightmares etc. For me at least that hurts 4 as a game. That leave 1 as the better game. But I do think 4 has the next best sound design. It’s entirely subjective but the bedroom nightmare environment just takes away from the game for me.
I think it might be a personal preference I personally think the jumpscares work really well. The fact they can get you at any point on repeat playthroughs is super cool to me. Everyone I know personally who plays this game and has those thoughts isnt 100% invested as I am when playing. Though FNAF 1 is definitely with FNAF 4 when it comes to sound design
@@jerakaigamez yea it’s entirely personal preference. Best way I can put it is the big “scare” in 4 being just the jumpscare for me feels cheap. Where as the ambiance of 1 and camera effects (Bonnie’s head glitching around), feels more oppressive to me. It’s weird I almost feel in less control in 1 vs 4. But that’s again preference. Prolly a good part come from me favouring psychological horror more too. Like in the case of “vibes” nothing beats 3 for me even if I think it’s not great for replaying. The environment and atmosphere is just prefect for the situation. But yea 1 and 4 sound designs are great. The circus then in one and foxys singing puts me on edge just as much as the grandfather clock.
14:24 Literally the MOST Accurate explanation of part of what make the story of The Bite of '83 so horrifying. I could explain the other horror elements on what made the story so horrifying, but I don't feel like doing it right now.
I'm so happy we have the same veiws. Sister location one of the worse and fnaf 4 the best. We have very simular veiws. And i 100% agree with everything you say
Honestly, people should give it a chance because that's easily the best one. A lot of people don't want to play it because it's scary, I mean,it's not that scary when you get used to it
I love the gameplay of this game, and the sound design is pretty good, but the animatronics feel like if a 4 year old was asked to make a scary monster. Adding a thousand sharp teeth and spikes on a character doesn’t make it scary, it just looks kinda stupid.
If a horror game isn’t scary because you don’t treat it as one, then that’s literally your fault and there’s no reason to complain about it on dock points
Great videobut you forgot to mention challenges they are cool and you can mix them like blind mode all nightmare mad freddy insta foxy blind mode. They are really great because they encourge you to beat 20/20/20/20 infact they are the only reason i beat the max mode because in any other game expect sister location you dont get anything if you beat there max modes
Here’s why fnaf 4 is also easily trh worst one. -no cameras to monitor the animatronics. -Audio ques should help the player and not be mandatory. -the story injured the fnaf community. -the bite confused so many players. -Freddy’s mechanic is just a chore and is easily avoidable. Foxy is annoying. - the doors suffer the same problem as the mask in fjaf 2. -The games loop has the fnaf 2 problem. Check left, check right flash foxy. And flash Freddy for fnaf 4, but fnaf 2 was random, this is very predictable and almost feels scripted. -WHAT DO THE FNAF 4 CLUES MSAN!! -you need headphones so on mobile, and console it is really hard to play.
I personally don’t like it because of it’s repetitive gameplay which yes I know, alot of fnaf point and click games are repetitive but this one you are just moving back and forth. Also there’s only really one strategy that works so you can’t really make your own.
I hate the character designs because they lose the uncanny valley thing they just look absolutely ridiculous,with the exception of nightmarionne and to a lesser degree nightmare BB,but the base character design don’t look scary to me,also im not a fan of the gameplay,the running back and forth and whatever its just like boring and repetitive and tedious,i mean none of the games are scary after night 2 its just a resource management,but since fnaf 4 doesn’t have the element of resource management its just so blegh,probably my least favorite one from the classic 6 along with fnaf3.
I didnt read the comments, but im sure 99% of them are gonna be these: "You are such un unintellected individual, by calling FNAF 4 the best game, clearly all that western propaganda got to you, huh. what next, russia started the war? Nice joke"
You know if u want to maybe try a fantastic game that fixes EVERY PROBLEM in FNaF 2 and it’s called FNaF 2 Reimagined uhhhhhh btw it’s on Roblox not CAP fr
FNaF 4 is the best game because the first night is never usually that bad in any of the games, so I can play through-
and... **RAAURRGHHH** AHHHHH WTF WTF

And like… _most_ iconic horror movie threats are kept in the dark for that exact reason? It’s really not the own that people think it is.
Nightmare is one of the most underappreciated animatronics in the entire franchise

Fair enough!
The first one feels creepy, not scary but an uncanny feeling of creepy
The 4th is straight up terrifying, the jumpscare provokes such a good fight or flight response
minimal unfair deaths? nightmare fricked me over so many times on night 8 you would not even believe
While not actually FNAF 4, Grimm Foxy has the coolest design in the franchise imo.
The only part about FNAF 4 I don’t like is how random and luck based Nightmare feels, especially during 4/20 mode.
Ive watched this 4 times. I love it. Easy listening for sure
Cheers boss!
Fun fact: this particular fnaf game has created THOUSANDS of cool ideas for future fnaf fan games 😎😎😎
TRUE!! The Joy Of Creation Story Mode for sure!
The nightmare designs don't really scare me, but you only really see them for short snippets of time so it works. They do look cool though.
Yeah only seeing them for those split seconds makes them work so well!

"I can't fix you" is one of the, if not, the best the living tombstone music and the game has one of the best designs, the Funtimes are extremely cool, and Funtime Freddy's voice is iconic, he is my favorite character till this day
Very interesting for me it was my least favourite but I respect your opinion
@@jerakaigamez Lol, nostalgia also adds to it, SL released in a time of my life where I was obsessed with fnaf, I bought it as soon as it released and till this day The only night I didn't do yet is the 10/20 which I'm intending to do in my college vacation. But if you don't mind me asking why do u dislike it? I don't know if you have a video about it, probably. If you want, drop the link down below :) Great content, and fnaf 4 for sure is in my top 3
@@yure_GD i mean that's fair enough thats kinda like me with fnaf 3
OMG YESSSS!! CANT SAY ITS MY FAV BUT ITS ON MY TOP 3!!

Whats your fav

@@Fathi_And_Ria ahhh ok
Fnaf 3 is definitely one of my favorites, however it's kinda boring on later nights because of only ONE animatronic, that can kill you. But the office, and ambience is just so good!!
I love this game it’s literally my fav Fnaf game ❤
Lets gooo!
I also think fnaf 4 was the best because the nightmare animatronics are really creepy and another thing is that the jump scares are really loud on x box one since the volume has to be really high to hear the breathing and footsteps so when you mess up it’s insanely loud which adds to the fear of the game the end game mini games were also really fun and added a lot of lore and the Halloween update in this game is probably the best
Yeah this game is peak (2nd fav behind hw 2)
Fnaf 4 was designed with the intention of traumatizing anyone who dared to play it, and it is a very hard fear to get over, even replaying it 5 times and ive only successfully beaten it once
And the tension and anxiety in the sound design, atmosphere and enemy aggression makes it all the more scary and fun to play, which is why i felt so depressed transitioning from this to sister location lol
This is the only fnaf game that i could feel my heart pounding in my chest
100% this game is so scary!
time to gladly ramble about my love for this game
Five Nights At Freddy's 4 along with Sister Location are the most unique enties in this series and i'm ALL for it. Just the menu along is untherworldy and feels outta place. Usually you get rough static but NOPE just a silenc score with what sounds like wolves in the back.
The atmosphere and sound design is to me AT IT"S BEST in this game the clock chime,the dog barking the silent melody while gentle doesn't feel safe. The bedroom is a simple yet effective location the creaky doors that BEARLY hold back the animatronics ans the fact that a simple ordinary flashlight is ALL you have to fend off DEAMONS is again simple yet affective as your tools are so unreliable in the first game you doubt your safty a lot but you NEVER doubt that the doors will keep you safe.
The story is my FAVORITE one in ALL of FNAF all you know is you're a young boy who is afraid of the animatronics and has a Psychic Friend Fredbear. The way this is expanded upon the brother randomly harassing you outta nowhere,to being locked in the backroom all leading up to the party. You're on the floor crying as usual and the brother done got his whole squad on your ass. They take you to give Fredbear a big kiss and then.......
CLAMP! Your head is crushed by the animatronic's massive jaw and all your brother and his gang can do is watch in horror and regret.
The final scene of the child(or Evan as we cal him) is last seen talking to his Psychic riend Freadbear(Matpat's gone so let me enjoy this) while one by one hid Freddy,Bonnie,Chica and Foxy plushies dissapear living Fredbear and he makes a promise to "put him back together" and then vanishes and all we hear is a silent flatline as Evan passes on.
Just damn that's so cold,sad yet epic this game is usually just seen a s"trying to hard" or "jumpscare simulator" but I see it as the tale of how bullying can get you and others into some really deep shit. This game obviously deserves this score which is a perfect 8/8
W stuff bro
@@jerakaigamezThanks fan and thanks for making this 🔥 video essay
Underrated! You genuinely deserve to have more subs
I appreciate that!
This is the only FNAF game that genuinely scares me. I still can't get past Night 2.
Its extremely scary!
I honestly think it’s just the newer fans who complain.. all my friends (og fans) agree this is one of the best games in the franchise (I like sister location best)
You might be right!
Hey, I love your videos! Just a suggestion: could you slow down the voiceover just a little bit? It tends to slur together and make it hard to hear
Im glad you like my videos and im definitely trying to find the sweet spot!
I always enjoyed this game, but I do think that the audio cues can be criticized. It makes the game inaccessible to people like me (I am unilaterally deaf). To Scott's credit, I can't visualize any way to add a visual cue to someone creeping up behind your door. also, points to Scott for having Foxy sneak into your closet have a visual cue. while not every game is going to cater to everyone, it does suck when some demographics are inherently barred from engaging with them.
I can understand this. I'm colourblind and the poppy playtime games dont have a colourblind mode. i think maybe have a 1 second warning flash when your at a door but then it turns into a reaction game
The only games I know of that implemented subtitles for non-dialogue and actually have it work well was Baldi’s Basics Plus and BBCR (although it’s overpowered in that game lol)
But yeah being barred does suck.
There may be more but I’m not aware of them.
Ive Recently Started To Like FNAF 4's Gameplay But I Just Cant Get Over How Terrible The Nightmare's Designs Are (Besides Fredbear And Plushtrap) And How Unscary The Game Is The Flickering Flashlight Mechanic Ruins Any Suspense
The issue with sound that I hear the most and agree with that makes it a flaw isn’t that the same relies on sound. Because most the rest after 4 do too.
It’s the fact that like you said everything is quieter. So you’re listen to a quiet subtle “breathing” and in the event you miss it you’re punished with an extremely loud obnoxious scream. That feels cheap.
Missing an intentionally muddied “breathing” sound effect to be punished with an overly loud jumpscare.
I’ll grant you that yea it make it the scariest. But not for the environment but simply the shock of the noise.
“But that is the point, to scare you.” And is the cheapest way to do so. I’d say it’s a difference of scared and startled. 4 startles me.
That’s the point of the game, but the only part I find scary is the story, the build up to the bite was more effective then the environment to me. Not them lurking in the halls of the Freddie’s cackling on the bed. The story of child abuse, then a “oops you listened wrong” scream to shock. The game is meant to scare me, not just be startled by a overly loud scream.
Foxy’s false scare is the exception as that’s the only one I don’t anticipate. Fnaf 4 is designed so my walls are always up
Fnaf 1’s environment hits me more then the bedroom. Seeing them waiting at the door does it more then seen them slink away. Seeing what looks like could be a real robot freaks me out more then the over exaggerated nightmares etc.
For me at least that hurts 4 as a game. That leave 1 as the better game. But I do think 4 has the next best sound design.
It’s entirely subjective but the bedroom nightmare environment just takes away from the game for me.
I think it might be a personal preference I personally think the jumpscares work really well. The fact they can get you at any point on repeat playthroughs is super cool to me. Everyone I know personally who plays this game and has those thoughts isnt 100% invested as I am when playing. Though FNAF 1 is definitely with FNAF 4 when it comes to sound design
@@jerakaigamez yea it’s entirely personal preference.
Best way I can put it is the big “scare” in 4 being just the jumpscare for me feels cheap. Where as the ambiance of 1 and camera effects (Bonnie’s head glitching around), feels more oppressive to me.
It’s weird I almost feel in less control in 1 vs 4.
But that’s again preference. Prolly a good part come from me favouring psychological horror more too. Like in the case of “vibes” nothing beats 3 for me even if I think it’s not great for replaying. The environment and atmosphere is just prefect for the situation.
But yea 1 and 4 sound designs are great. The circus then in one and foxys singing puts me on edge just as much as the grandfather clock.
FNaF 3 is the most RNG.
No matter what can you do if Springy runs to your window when you got 1/7 chance to get non working audio you're ded.
1 2 Freddy's coming for you 3 4 Better lock the door :v
lol
I loved the video
Glad you did!
Same
14:24 Literally the MOST Accurate explanation of part of what make the story of The Bite of '83 so horrifying. I could explain the other horror elements on what made the story so horrifying, but I don't feel like doing it right now.
hahah i feel you!

I must must be dreaming
@@Williamafton7891 u aren't dreaming its real
I'm so happy we have the same veiws. Sister location one of the worse and fnaf 4 the best. We have very simular veiws. And i 100% agree with everything you say
Damn let's gooo
Honestly, people should give it a chance because that's easily the best one. A lot of people don't want to play it because it's scary, I mean,it's not that scary when you get used to it
Agreed! its a horror game its meant to be scary
Off topic, but I’m getting deeper and deeper runs on 50/20 mode. My best time is 3:11.3 and I plan on beating it by the end of the week
did you do it?
Took a while but yes!
I love the gameplay of this game, and the sound design is pretty good, but the animatronics feel like if a 4 year old was asked to make a scary monster. Adding a thousand sharp teeth and spikes on a character doesn’t make it scary, it just looks kinda stupid.
If a horror game isn’t scary because you don’t treat it as one, then that’s literally your fault and there’s no reason to complain about it on dock points
Great videobut you forgot to mention challenges they are cool and you can mix them like blind mode all nightmare mad freddy insta foxy blind mode. They are really great because they encourge you to beat 20/20/20/20 infact they are the only reason i beat the max mode because in any other game expect sister location you dont get anything if you beat there max modes
I did indeed forget to mention them haha
Here’s why fnaf 4 is also easily trh worst one.
-no cameras to monitor the animatronics.
-Audio ques should help the player and not be mandatory.
-the story injured the fnaf community.
-the bite confused so many players.
-Freddy’s mechanic is just a chore and is easily avoidable. Foxy is annoying.
- the doors suffer the same problem as the mask in fjaf 2.
-The games loop has the fnaf 2 problem. Check left, check right flash foxy. And flash Freddy for fnaf 4, but fnaf 2 was random, this is very predictable and almost feels scripted.
-WHAT DO THE FNAF 4 CLUES MSAN!!
-you need headphones so on mobile, and console it is really hard to play.
I personally don’t like it because of it’s repetitive gameplay which yes I know, alot of fnaf point and click games are repetitive but this one you are just moving back and forth. Also there’s only really one strategy that works so you can’t really make your own.
That is fair I get that
That’s definitely not true because someone beat it with no sound
14:53 WAS THAT THE BITE OD 87'?
There’s a reason this game is scary meanwhile no one is scared of the nightmares in UCN or any other game really
Facts although id argue the nightmares have the best jumpscares in ucn
@@jerakaigamez maybe. Although Bonnie’s and mangle’s especially have something left to be desired compared to their original. And nightmarrione
Imma be honest I always found fnaf 4 way scarier than hw
I think i do now, at the time HW was scarier just because of the fact that the characters were so big
Honestly how I see it is night terrors in hw is basically Fnaf 4 and it’s so terrifying
fnaf 4 is easily the best one
Agreed
I hate the character designs because they lose the uncanny valley thing they just look absolutely ridiculous,with the exception of nightmarionne and to a lesser degree nightmare BB,but the base character design don’t look scary to me,also im not a fan of the gameplay,the running back and forth and whatever its just like boring and repetitive and tedious,i mean none of the games are scary after night 2 its just a resource management,but since fnaf 4 doesn’t have the element of resource management its just so blegh,probably my least favorite one from the classic 6 along with fnaf3.
why no editing :(
Idk didn't feel it needed much
I liked the video
eh atleast the other bears are nightmarishly difficult so 50/50
I don't like mad freddy challenge
damn
Fnaf 4 is by far the best.
Agreed
15:20 red circle?
Lmao tbh I forgot what it looked like when I wrote the script
@jerakaigamez aren't u colourblind? 😂
This what I been saying!!!!

I didnt read the comments, but im sure 99% of them are gonna be these:
"You are such un unintellected individual, by calling FNAF 4 the best game, clearly all that western propaganda got to you, huh. what next, russia started the war? Nice joke"
lol

Glad you did!
Now this is a hot take
Interesting
Nice
Very nice
Fnaf 4 is way too hard like my friend is a fnaf master better than me and he can’t complete fnaf 4
Fnaf 4 in my opinion is the 2ed best fnaf 1 is best
Based af
Cap it’s sister location
0 replayability, i would unirocally prefer to rewatch the emoji movie
Heh?
Also dingo I watched ur content i like your vids
@@Riley-uw9le thanks bro appreciate it
i thought it was fnaf 1 lmao
You know if u want to maybe try a fantastic game that fixes EVERY PROBLEM in FNaF 2 and it’s called FNaF 2 Reimagined uhhhhhh btw it’s on Roblox not CAP fr
Also I never intended it to cut off that part lol😂

FNAF 2 better
The music box is over reliant, and the AI is bad. Let's hear your argument
Nope
Then what is?
