/cow/ - Lolcows (Buffalo Barbecue Cream!)

That video is the first time I watch anything FNAF related

And I must say that I become scared pretty easily at videogames. Until my late teens I wouldn't even dare to play RE or SH. I even got creeped out just by reading what Pathologic was about while watching some screenshots

But god damn that thing was lame as fuck. How do people even get scared at that? Why is it so popular? Shit

I thought Pewdiepie closed his comment section partially because of how Google+'s integration encouraged the sheer retardation of his fans.

>Why is it so popular?

For the same reasons grown men watch pastel-colored ponies.

Reasons even God dosen't know.

Eh, the original was alright enough. It had a creepy atmosphere and the animatronics were legitimately just creepy. Yeah, the scares were just jumpscares, but they weren't random - they only got you when you messed up. It was tense and a bit scary, and all in all it was fairly well put-together for what it was. It was on sale for $2.50 on launch, and that was a fair price, I suppose. I think it would have been better as a free flash game, in all honesty.

The sequels have been a constant milking of a cash cow and just end up being tiring. I mean, the "toy" animatronics in two were kinda creepy in their own right, but 3 and 4 are just dumb. I'm sick of FNAF. The only reason the creator keeps pumping them out is because of the rabid fanbase, and even then they don't hardly even buy the games. They watch their favorite LPers scream at it over the course of 5 videos and then go obsess over it on Tumblr. The 4 games together have only sold a few thousand copies in total.

Pretty much, yeah, coupled with the new ways to spam and trick people in the comments. I mean, hell, there wasn't even a character limit, so people were sometimes just copy/pasting Wikipedia articles in the comments just to spam shit. People could also disguise links, so of course you had a lot of comments saying "Read more" only to send someone off to Lemonparty or some virus-ridden site. On top of that, the new comment sorting tended to bring the more "controversial" comments to the top, so anything that guaranteed replies now guaranteed first page status as well, making the spam and bait links even worse.

It appears he's allowed comments again, I guess. I can't imagine why.

The tumblr post very reasonable and the video was not as terrible as some of his other shit. I kinda liked his cynical approach and him obviously being sick of those fucking games. Color me surprised.

Easy. Little kids get pissed off when they cannot express themselves in the comments.

>>145647

But how do they express that without comments? Turning them off is a win/win. :^)

>>145661

afaik pdp got death threats over twitter. I mean yeah everyone gets death threats on the internet, but pdp got hundreds, some kids even said they would kill themselves

>Posting redditfrog

You should probably go back to reddit.

I saw a guy actually count from 1 to 10,000 twice in a comment. I guess Pewdiepie realized his channel was the special-ed class of the internet and taking the comments away turned off viewers.

>>145862

Why do wizards still use 8chan? They have their own shitty chan to go to and psychologically cannibalize themselves into suicidal depression.

>>145871

They still have r9k here to cry about their parents expecting them to at least have the decency to piss in the toilet rather than in bottles.

GTFO seriously? How can they be so retarded? And the creator too for playing along with this?

The creator used to make shitty christian games no one would buy, originally the FNAF animatronics were gonna be more or less as-is in such a game but people around him told him they looked too creepy, so he made them into a horror game instead. And since that sold more than double digit units it was more or less his breakthrough so now he's running with it.

>>145809

Over him disabling comments? Jesus Christ

>>145871

Who cares. I love that they do come here. It means there may be some hope for them yet. They realize that they too are potentially cows. Yes, you can redeem yourself. An ed article won't end your world. No one of importance reads them and takes them seriously.

>dox aren't serious

>>149536

They really aren't in most cases. I guess it depends on the shit you've done. More importantly half the shit gets written is pretty easily dismissed.

Unless you're Rika or something.

Just stop it /operate/
