Security Breach, the game that even people that the love the game hates.
I'm honestly a huge FNAF fan, and Security Breech was… oof. So much of it is unfinished the the story doesn't even make sense (not even for FNAF standards!) and they've since announced they're going to patch it so you CAN save after 6 am, which is just such an admission that it was never a good idea in the first place. I understand wanting to make a harder section after the game is "done", to be reminiscent of the previous games' sixth nights, but Jesus Christ, making failure more punishing doesn't make the game HARDER, it just makes it more frustrating.
I don't even know how it has such a positive Steam rating. Every other FNAF fan I know hated it
Before watching I hated how many games suck prolapsed witch warts, but now I really want more games to suck because the suck rage keeps these episodes hitting completely out of the park.
"It's very bad and I want to hurt it!"
Don't sugar coat it, tell us how you really feel.
Watched a Let's Play. Markipliers.
First part was fun, but I was a bit iffy at the end.
Second part was meh, and I was beginning to get bored.
I forced myself to watch parts 3 – 5.
Then I realized I was bored and stopped watching.
The game just… Sucks… It's not fun… And it's not scary either.
Notice how Yahtzee's review is mostly frustration? Yeah, that's people playing it and watching it too. We're too annoyed to be scared and the game also just isn't scary in general.
Cuz it's only way to try and scare you is "Boo face on the screen."
Which is shorthand for "We don't know how to be scary, screw it, put up a face suddenly appearing on screen. We don't know what to do, we're lost."
5:10 in Internet Historian voice "Uh, yes, yes they are."
Friendly reminder that the creator of fnaf is a bible thumping homophobe/transphobe who donates to trump and his right wing hatemonger lackeys.
Only reason he even played it is because he knew it was bad.
I jumped off the FNAF wagon around 4, played Sister Location later and didn't like it. Thought Pizzeria Simulator (6) had a decent ending and it should've stopped there. Found out Cawthon (the dev) was right-wing dogshit, that ended any chance of me every supporting him again. I did check out this game via a streamer I like, and you're on the nose with everything. The deadline apparently bit this game in the ass as they had to release it in this buggy state, but even if the game performed flawlessly it wouldn't fix the stupid story or the dumbass decision to make any of the other endings so inaccessible. I buy that they were embarrassed about the endings because they all collectively suck and make no sense. Vanny is tremendously underutilized, we don't know why the animatronics are still hostile, Gregory's animosity toward them is never explained, etc. All a bunch of build-up that goes fucking nowhere.
Poor Pewds. He's not insanely annoying anymore but he'll never live that impression down.
Something tells me this game will end up in Yahtzee’s bottom 5 for the year.
Only a hunch, but I don't think Yahtzee liked the game.
Making a Metroidvania style game that penalizes you for exploring (i.e., a game that deliberately limits the time you have before you can no longer save) is the sort of behavior I'd expect from people who wear their pants on their heads, if you follow me.
That's one for the old timers.
"..and the world became better somehow." …Lol
Thanks for the Content !
Ironic that the last FNAF Yahtzee reviewed was while waiting for a dying light release as well, 7 years and nothing changed 😛
Hooh, this is not going to be a kind one…
This brought me back to the days when I first saw yahtzee on G4
Probably the most interesting thing about this game is the sheer amount of art and money it made for furry artists drawing the animatronics getting jiggy with it. Pretty sure Glamrock Freddy is up there with friggen Bowser and Fox McCloud for sheer amount of Rule 34 art now.
Yeah but DJ Music Mans track is a banger, 10/11
The one thing that the game supposedly dose well is the art design. The characters and setting all look genuinely appealing.
This is great, fantastic, awesome… for any genre other than horror.
The game definitely feels unfinished. Like large chucks of it were haphazardly cut. I get that the community was getting impatient, but it would have benefitted the game greatly to delay it until it was actually finished or at least more stable.
That part about watching streamers scream is spot-on. As far as I'm aware, nobody I know has actually played any games in the series. At most it's kids who have merely watched streamers playing the games, and even then they focus on the reactions at least as much as the games themselves. (And the only part of the game they seem to care about is the convoluted lore that was explained to them in some youtube video or another. Actually playing the games is pretty much irrelevant, it hardly seems to matter that they're games at all.) Anyway, I'd bet money that if game streaming weren't a thing, this series never would have gone anywhere. Heck, I'd even bet that if streamers themselves simply couldn't be shown fake over-reacting but streaming of gameplay itself still existed otherwise, the series never would have gone anywhere. From what I've seen, it's a series that succeeded for all the wrong reasons.
I hate the game, but I love Freddad
Props to Yahtz for having the fortitude to reach an ending at all. I only got a few minutes in before I realized "Oh fuck me, this is another one of those generic "run and hide" survival "horror" games, and not even a well designed one" and that was pretty much it for me
First time I’ve agreed with him for a while. Maybe because I have an utter disdain for the FNAF cult, but was nice.
"If I don't get closure on this I'm going to wake up one morning in the chicken coop with one less chicken and a priapism" Is a line that will not leave my head and I demand that it begins to pay rent.
2:00 the answer to that is Vtubers
i see your point an… JUMP SCARE!
works every time
Wow, haven't actually seen Yahtzee legitimately angry in a long while.
Well its also about the theory’s and secrets are a big part of the series so it’s not going to tell wtf is happening directly
Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Mario are 40 years old now…. God Damn
Calling it now this will be the worst game of 2022. the phrase "I didn't have to play this game but I need to hurt it" really rings of this isn't the last time we've seen this game.
So if you look at said samey labyrinth before turning the lights out, you could see the cables leading to the generators to figure out where they were
Meanwhile my experience with this game was watching a nerd take like two weeks playing it because he was psychotically combing it for L O R E
I really hate those attention seeking twantsanders
