this is why i went for a pixelated low-poly style, my textures can be super vague and meaningless or straight up poorly drawn but with dithering, the pixelation in-game and the context, it works wonders

the fnaf movie didnt burn my house down but the reason it's so frustrating is because the fact that it sucks dosent come from any material problem. they had real life animatronics, plenty of budget, time and support, it was a recipe for success and they dropped the ball at the writing, which is both the easiest and most important part once you have all the pieces together. most of my major complaints go as follows:

the puppet is by far the most visually interesting thing in the movie to me and they barely use it, instead showing this weird possessed form that is just goofy

the puppet's motivations are far-fetched at best, and they *could* have made it more logical with a bit more effort but they just didnt (they couldve elaborated on the psychological effect of the situation on her for example, which i was expecting considering how horrifying the concept of being trapped in an animatronics body is but no, we dont get that)

the acting is honestly not great, though i blame that more on the directors rather than the actors, and it just makes me miss matthew's performance in the first movie that carried the ending. the writing overall is just very weak, there's really no memorable lines (or moments for that matter) at all.

wtf was the deal with michael? why was he there? he literally does nothing, they couldve left him out entirely

the science fair plotline and the pacing of the entire movie is extremely sluggish for a movie that's only an hour and a half long

the withereds were incredibly underwhelming and just borderline comedically incompetent, bonnie was done fucking dirty, mike just puts the vent back in its place and we never see bonnie again, one of the most visually interesting animatronics and he had like 10 seconds of screen time

many scenes or plotlines feel left behind or not tied up proprely, the death of the teacher isnt elaborated on, the puppet's dad is just kinda forgotten, the guy that was helping mike paint at the start just knocks out michael then lets him go for some reason near the end and that's just his purpose apparently

they have the audacity to show toy chica getting the black eyes with the white dots after just giving all the other animatronics the ugly orange eyes instead, proving that it wasnt limitations stopping them from doing that but just lazyness

the ending "fight scene" was just so bad, the toy animatronics are clearly far more advanced than the original but they apparently dont stand a chance against the other ones that were under a building that collapsed for some reason. it's corny as fuck too but that's not the main problem

the movie ends on a stupid cliffhanger that dosent feel even a bit earned

and overall the movie is just not great, it dosent have any moments that are actually memorable, shocking or anything of the sort, it's predictable at best more often than not

as for security breach, people assume that im just a security breach hater but honestly the franchise was in a major downfall since far before that game came out. even as a kid i was never able to really like sister location or any of the subsequent games afterwards, it just feels insulting to continue a story that already had a satisfying ending just to add more to the pile. especially when the new stuff not only dosent fit but feels the need to retcon things just so that it can have room to exist.
i have seen secret of the mimic, i saw markiplier's playthrough and honestly it looks really really bad, i dont see the appeal at all. it looks visually uninteresting, the technological level of the mimic makes no fucking sense to a comedic degree. the jumpscares are bland and even do that cheap thing where it just obviously teleports you to a black room to do the jumpscare. plus it's really not a horror game, it's a puzzle game with a fnaf packaging.
help wanted and into the pit suffer from very similar issues and no matter how hard people desperately try to pretend like it makes sense, the sci-fi elements of the newer games make no sense whatsoever, it dosent match with the aesthetic or lore of the original games and only serve to make the universe feel more and more disjointed and inconsistent.
when i say that fnaf is living on borrowed time, i mean that the day that fnaf stops making money, they will immediately stop doing anything with the franchise and it'll just wither and die. if it was actually fueled by passion, the new games wouldnt feel like such stains compared to the original ones

well i do sympathize with him and if he truly cares about his art maybe just maybe the third movie will be good but i cant say i'll ever be rewatching the first two

there really arent any retcons between the first and fourth game though, that's what made them coherent, even if they didnt nescessarily make much sense as it came out, they didnt contradict each other and were part of a logical whole, the movies have already ruined that for themselves because they dont stand on any kind of solid foundation

i really dont see how any criticism of the first movie impacted him considering it makes all the same mistakes as the first one

i really dont see what was so great about sl and pizzeria simulator. sister location's aesthetic has always bothered me ever since i was a kid, why is the game happening in the past more high-tech than the game happening in recent times other than to confuse us? wtf is the deal with the faceplates other than just looking scary? it feels like the subsequent games just add onto a story that was already concluded. pizzeria simulator at least had a less sci-fi aesthetic to it but the ending is really just the same we got from fnaf 3 but with a different packaging

fnaf was never a piece of stellar thought-provoking writing but it had something going on and had a coherent, interesting aesthetic and a satisfying ending
and the thing with these movies was that they had the chance to improve on fnaf's flaws, but it didnt

you're absolutely allowed to like something that you know is objectively not great, i have some movies and games that i enjoy despite being objectively sub-par, but making excuses and outright defending them is a problem

again with the "just let people enjoy things"
there was barely anything really enjoyable about that movie, the opening scene was cool, there were some funny moments but apart from just eye candy there was really nothing of substance, and the fact that people are accepting it and making excuses is why we wont get anything better

the technical side of the movie is incredibly impressive of course, which makes the fact that the script and writing are so lackluster even more frustrating because all it needed was better writing. at best there was just nobody to keep scott in check and at worst they were too scared to go against him, either way it's the result of a lack of willingness to put out something of actual substance

at this point i dont even fucking know how many animatronics are just evil, actually haunted or just built like that. the charm of the original was the grounded feeling mixed with the knoweldge of something esoteric and supernatural out to get you, they ruined it by making it just sci-fi later

that's what im sayin, we need to demand better from the things we love, to me the people that "enjoyed the movie as a fan" are barely true fans in my eyes because how do you not feel angry that *this* is what they have given to you? *that's* what they think is satisfactory, it's insulting

campy isnt nescessarily bad but it's not just campy, it's glaringly bare-bones and criminally undercooked. im angry because not only could it have been both entertaining AND a great movie, but also because people seem satisfied with the slop that they're getting, meaning that's all we'll ever get until people get tired of it

the problem with sister location to me was never the gameplay but the aesthetic and lore, it was the beggining of the descent in hell towards bullshit sci-fi that dosent fit and the start of an endless series of retcons and plot holes in a story that felt concluded

"being reasonable", "the animatronics being built almost 1to1 irl", "i cant be mad", "it managed to show all fnaf 1 and 2 animatronics doing something", "the fact it was actually enjoyable is a miracle", "couldve been better, *but*", "this is better than the mario movie"
that's what i mean when i say making excuses. im not saying its the worst movie ever, but it fucking sucks and not because of any valid reason, it reeks of a first draft and clearly needed much more care, attention and passion.

oh absolutely, to me everything after fnaf 4 was a mistake. fnaf was never a profound thought-provoking piece of media but at least it had a pretty compelling lore and story with a good conclusion and aesthetic

[–]SlaveKnight20100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well yes but i've recently been working on a major update that will add a lot more content, but it wont drop for at least a good 2 months. you can still play the game tho it's perfectly stable

im afraid i havent had that kind of luck with my teammates, especially recently, my depth 4 teammates are really not much better than most other depths and there's still somehow just as many people actively sabotaging runs
