Why FNaF 3 Is the Best in the Franchise

i subbed

It’s a great video, you should make more, and I subbed btw.

@@lilmoneyguyy Another Canadian? Based.

I love this vid haven’t even finished it

Yeah same lol Edit: I should probably clarify that I think it looks goofy, not that its scary. Lol. Why did I think that's what you mean't and not that you find it scary?

Oh dear god that traumatized me lol

bro dont remind me

Dude that game scares the shit out of me. I haven't even gotten past Funtime Freddy cuz of how scared I am of having to listen for him

@@LoneBread90210 lol, once I got over the fear of fnaf 4 (after screaming.. alot) it was easy

even though he's dead body is almost completely disconnected from his soul, the way it remains inside him it's a very artistic way to explain his character and backstory, giving a sense of mystery to the ones that don't know him

Like I’m scared of the game which I think is great I’m fine with the atmosphere but when I see spring trap when I think of the lore and see his body just been glorified really makes me scared because he just stares at you and watches which is generally horrifying

@@oheabop8151 and afton's corpse looks horrified

@@monobro141 while springtrap is my favorite of the bunch, afton legit became a head with tenticle limbs which has always baffled me, since he shouldve still had bones after the spring lock locked him in yknow? Jesus Christ loves you take care

Jesus loves you my friends :" ) have an awesome day

@@theofficialnationwidehater 🤡

Just how he (unalive) the children. Quiet, calculated, and sadistic.

@@taylorderryberry6147 Exactly what I was thinking! Sure, maybe it's not "shocking" or "scary" in the conventional sense, but once you know the backstory it gets real creepy.

I still think Scott could have done more with him since he's pretty much the main antagonist of the series. I think maybe he could have had the same jumpscare but position his hands in a way to seem like Springtrap was gonna choke you or smth

Oh, I never thought of that! I always had it in my head that William hears a child and he's like *CHILD. MUST. KILL* mode lolol

I thought that Purple Guy was into a Springlock suit, not a animatronic suit? Or is a springlock suit both a wearable suit and an animatronic? To be honest I forgot about this stuff-

@@somebigboyletters702 IIRC, springlock suits were animatronics whose innards could sorta move out of the way to make room for a wearer (that's what the springlocks are for). If you recall the end of FNAF 3, you see that he died because the springlocks failed and the suit was converted back into animatronic-mode, crushing him

@@_Heb_ Ah I see, thanks for the reminder, it’s been a while since I’ve dived into fnaf stuff so I’m just kinda learning stuff again lol

@@_Heb_ Can you imagine the immediate pain, then realizing what happened and realizing no one is there to help you, as you lay there, screaming in pain for god knows how long until you die

Finally, someone else brings this up :D

those animatronic eyes are just translucent plastic frames, his eyes are the actual eyes

Afton probably did that shit to lure children

@@thejaded well curiosity did kill the cat

I mean, the other Animatronics are very much sentient too!

thomas nookins

As much as I love fnaf 3 in help wanted the ai fucking sucks. Spring trap can get stuck without you even doing anything

@@KR_Kosmik cuz hes too thicc

Hw was the only fnaf game ive act played but from my expierience fnaf 3 in vr wasnt anywhere near as scary as fnaf 1 or the night terrors .fnaf 1 was so scary in vr bc when u first turn around and see bonnie standing there is horrifying

Just keep him at cam 2 lmao

Yeah, its absolutelly horrifying

I like how it's unique to afton though

@@matthewcampbell8586 not really, freddy did the same thing in the first game.

@@N.I.A23 I'm pretty sure it's cause he likes the darkness though or something

Freddy does the same thing in FNaF 1

It literally is personal. He wants to kill the security guard because the guard is Michael Afton.

literally…

Agreed, 100%. There are few things scarier in a horror game than an intelligent monster that wants the player dead; when designed well, of course.

Agreed, i do hate his RNG tho, but i guess that just makes the gameplay better? I guess so hehe.

Afton seems to have retained a lot more of his intellect than the other ones.

Intellegent kid of falls off when he falls for the audio cue for the 999th time

​@@forkgodsdescendant2503 It's not that he falls for it, the suit HAS to go to the sound, he has no say in the matter. "[...] the animatronics are set to turn and walk toward sound feed. This is an easy and hands-free approach that the animatronics stay where the children are for maximum entertainment/crowd-pleasing value [...]" Since the Balloon Boy "Hello" is the only different sound playing in the entire building, the Spring Bonnie heads towards it, even if William Afton doesn't. That's why it doesn't work anymore when he's near your office, there's new sound stimuli and thus he doesn't work when he's behind the glass.

Connection terminated. I'm sorry to interrupt you Elizabeth, if you still even remember that name. But I'm afraid you've been misinformed. You are not here to receive a gift, nor have you been called here by the individual you assume. Although you have indeed been called. You have all been called here. Into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune. A labyrinth with no exit, a maze with no prize. You don't even realize that you are trapped. Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles, chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber, always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach. But you will never find them, none of you will. This is where your story ends. And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you. Although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well, I am nearby. This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away. As the agony of every tragedy should. And to you monsters trapped in the corridors: Be still and give up your spirits, they don't belong to you. For most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps more waiting for you after the smoke clears. Although, for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the devil waiting, old friend. My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I'm sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up into their arms the way you lifted others into yours. And then, what became of you. I should have known you wouldn't be content to disappear, not my daughter. I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now. It's time to rest. For you, and for those you have carried in your arms. This ends for all of us. End communication.

@@kwalk475 Oh boy that was a cool end, now let's say you face off against 50 animatroni-

@@thazmania120 that could work out, but I have a real kicker for you Let’s say afton somehow made a digital version of himself in a bloody vr game, that’ll definitely please the fans and could lead onto many fully fleshed out, not rushed and buggy games

@@funkalotz76 for me FNaF SB is just a “what if...” games,like the books FNaF ends at 6, and UCN is the conclusion

Fnaf 3 and fnaf 6 are both perfect endings to their own "trilogies", that being fnaf 1-3 and fnaf 4-6. 4-6 was really a new era altogether of fnaf, almost more like a spinoff or inspired work rather than sequels to fnaf 1-3. It was a controversial decision at the time but it paid off in the end imo. Help wanted and security breach did the same formula of branching off after 3 games. Following that pattern, I wonder what the third game in the 7-9 trilogy will be and if it will be as satsifying as 3 and 6 were

Not only that, but it's assumed you play as his son, mike in this one, as you do in most of the games. But the idea of him being stuck in limbo, stuck trying to enter the office to get you, but his suit being activated and following the noises against his will feels satisfying from a player perspective.

The amount of likes is at 666 and it’s too ironic and hilarious for me to change it, but just know that the thought was there

Rip I ruined 666

Fnaf 3 is actually my favourite out of all the Fnaf games.

@@100legallystupid you have 6 likes yourself as of right now so it balances out, I won’t ruin it

True I just think 4 is an upgrade in every way idk what u guys think abt it. Its got problems but 4 genuinely scares me with the ambience.

also keep in mind that not only are you going against a dangerous animatronic, but you are going against a dangerous animatronic containing the man who started the entire story of the series which makes this game even more amazing

The reason for that is probably because there is an open door on the left, and a vent that can’t close right at the opening on the right. Your only defense are the scattered vent doors around the place, and the audio lures. If he gets to the door, you can’t look away to activate a lure, and if he gets to the vent your just dead. Nothing you can do. Not to mention that (pretty much) your main line of defense can break after 2 uses. (night 5/6)

And also everything you went against before made Uncalculated erratic movements,while springtrap flanks you,and hides from your cameras. Also he doesn’t rush you like the animatronics. He slowly lumbers towards you with that Grin on his Face.

then the rest is your fucking imagination because you ate fucking magic mushrooms

Omg fr, the absolute fear of losing springtrap on cams never fails

Yo, it's literally my favourite fnaf track, and I felt like I was the only one who loved it😂

Yeah it really does

Nah fr it's one of my favorite songs it's so beautiful.

Lol in fnaf 2 you only need to look at one camera

In fnaf 1 and 2 you literally only need 1 camera, east hall corner and the prize corner. Yes i absolutely agree tho this game actually made cameras useful

Being honest, who else is there to like in this game? The story is centered around springtrap so of course he is going to be the most interesting character. No one normal goes, "Damn, I love rockstar freddy's backstory." because he has none. Half of the characters in this entire SERIES are bland robots and dead kids that want to kill a 40 year old. You may say that the puppet or someone has an interesting story, but SHE DOESN'T. Sure she died outside of a restaurant, so interesting. Glad Scott is changing it up because instead of dying inside the restaurant, she died on the ouside, everyone cheer! Springtrap is the only character we see even a glimpse into the story of because he is the antagonist.

@@tarantula4569 ...you do have a point actually.

@@EternalTheMandarinGoddess I'm not trying to be rude, just show the amount of limited options when it comes to this topic

@@tarantula4569 oh you didn't sound rude at all! I agree with you tbh.

@@tarantula4569 That makes a lot of sense. Didn't think about it like that.

True. When it was released, I thought it was the most unique one, especially the atmosphere and Springtrap haunted me in my sleep. It was also the perfect conclusion to FNAF for me (before Scott decided to bring back Springtrap again and again) because what made me fell in love with the franchise is the story of the murdered children and seeing them being freed is a perfect conclusion.

my favorite is help wanted but out of the main games this is my favorite by far

@@jkeebla yeahh HW is pretty good

@@jkeebla same, Help Wanted is definitely the best Fnaf game ever, but out of the main games, I’d say 2, UCN, and (maybe) SL are the best.

The fact is it wasn't a jumpscared he was streight up staring to his son since you play as micheal afton like "you grown up son"

I beat this game for the first time in vr once you learn the mechanics it’s really easy

i feel exactly same of you, but i completed even when i dying of fear cuz is ez but scarier asf.

Have fun with fnaf 4 😂

Have fun with fnaf 4 😂

fnaf 3 is scarier@@iaganfoss

Idgaf abt the lore aspect of the jumpscare its one of the worst in the series bro 😭

I think that it really contributes to the immersive atmosphere of this game. I feel like it isn't too overstated and lets the atmosphere maintain

You right here make an awesome point

@@illiguxwolfwave1134 Thanks messed up the English on the comment surprised someone understood it 😂

@@santhepan9084 It's okay, cause you'll get better with time

And plus, its up to your imagination on just how brutal the aftermath thats gonna happen to you anyways, knowing spring trap, he would probably do sometging very horrifc.

I got this from a comment on Sagan Hawke's Retrospective on FNAF 3 but in my opinion , considering the lore, it feels more like Springtrap saying 'Listen, we both know you're screwed, lets save the theatrics'

Although I don't hate it, I'm pretty sure that's only the surface of people's problems. Most of it centers around the complaint of the gameplay just being the worst in the series, which I can understand. Especially when this game came after the complete overhaul that was FNaF 2. Not to mention the countless jump scares you're bound to get from other phantoms, it can be annoying

yeh i agree. i also just think that the other games outshine it. for me fnaf 1 and 6 have the ambience that makes a fnaf game scary, as theres no unbeatable strategy, and sometimes you have to rely on luck. for fnaf 2,3 and 4 u kinda just do a repetitious cycle thats unbeatable. theres no power or interruption if youre careful enough

People often forget about everything as a whole, and just focus on one quality. Yes his jumpscares aren't intense like all the others, but everything else is amazing. Plus, he is a serial killer, so he's going to be methodical about things, and I don't exactly know how easy it is to move when your body is trapped in a metal and plastic shell with your organs stabbed and shit lmao

yeah, but if they change it people will get extremely mad that they did. sadly.

Perhaps if he had a knife out it would be better?

Lmao

shanked from all sides

The worst thing is that he designed the suit with Henry meaning he knows everything about the springlocks.

@@SubspaceTripmine66.6he was probably desperate at that point, considering he was being haunted by his own victims. And because of the adrenaline and fear, it distracted him from the dangers of wearing the springlock suit in moist climate (the water dripping in the safe room caused the springlocks to fail and puncture him to death). The Night 4 & 5 phone calls foreshadowed his fate, since the phone guy explained to not wear the animatronic suit in moist climate. He also said in Night 5 that the Spring Bonnie suit was not safe to wear, after confirming it was moved (also confirming William using the suit) when the springlock suits were retired for safety concerns.

I think it was a combination of that. Knowing the springlocks’ design, their flaws also cause them to fail when exposed to a moisture. With what seems to be rain leaking into the establishment, that was what caused the springlocks to fail and turn Afton into the freakshow he is now.

Same here. Nearly everything about him is just interesting as hell to me. Definetly my personal favorite, just a shame they cheapened him in a way later on

@@grimmestcreaper2212 springtrap good scrap trap bad

@@KothSam buckteeth mcbighead lmfao

@@KothSam Burntrap ruined his character.

@@carameilana4419 could'nt agree more

He is just like: 'what's ur wifi password'

dudeeee that would be so cool

It would be cool but it’s hard to accurately model a decaying corpse without it looking off or bad. Even real corpses just don’t look human sometimes and comes off as cheesy. It’s possibly Scott tried to animate something like that, but wasn’t able to get it down right, and opted for him standing there instead.

@@mynameisambertoo7379 Also it might've been too gory. Scott's target demographic was teens and given how realistic it would've had to be to fit٫ it would be too much for a lot of people to handle.

@@mynameisambertoo7379 Scott can't model humans, that's why he came up with fnaf

Beautifully typed. 10/10

oh, also, this video was very well made, keep it up!

"An escape was planned for you but.... I get the feeling you are right where you want to be."

Honestly i like to think of fnaf 3 as the climax of the story showing almost all the main characters in the franchise up to this point

What I absloutely DESPISE about sl is how it's short, like I absloutely loved it yet there wasn't enough

In Dawko’s interview with him, Scott explains why he kept making the games all the way to 6, actually. Basically, FNAF 3 was supposed to be the end, but a lot of people were disappointed with it, and Scott wanted to have the series end on a high note, so he made 4. After 4 released, however, people get hung up on “The Box”, and since that made Scott feel like he was ending the series on a cliffhanger, he decided to make SL. Once that game released (and had its Custom Night update finished), he made FFPS to tie up all the loose ends made in SL and to end the series cohesively again. And after all that was done, he made UCN to celebrate the franchise, as well as give FFPS a little epilogue. As for HW and SB, that seems to just be Steel Wool deciding to add a plot to their VR game, and Scott backing them up once they run it by him, although I don’t know for sure. He never explains the reason why HW’s story was made in the interview, mainly because the interview was made before that game was finished.

You’re not alone

I also tought fnaf 3 was one of the best

Spring trap is the best my favorite tied with ennard, I love ennard so much

@@jkeebla ennard spring trap and molten Freddy are the best in my opinion

Everything is more simple than it's first seems since the og FNaF fans is giving way to cringy furries and Twitter freaks to ruin our game with their mediocre opinion.

willy proton

Bro fr went 🥜 on us

Same here. I'll rag on it for its gameplay but I think it has the best story/lore in the series

I’d say FNAF 3’s gameplay is my favorite, but probably because that’s the only one I’ve fully completed without cheats. I feel like if I did play through it sometime, FNAF 4 would be my favorite.

personally I think Scott made sl due to the backlash from dream theory

Development of future games is up to steel wool, the story is all Scott’s own. He’ll still guide the story direction.

personally i wish help wanted didnt have any lore elements at all. UCN ended the story with afton in hell, and help wanted should have just been a tribute to the series. security breach shouldnt have existed in the first place.

Yeah if it was for the money Pizzeria Simulator and Ultimate Custom Night would not have been free.

@@DocKorbeno security breach is my favorite tbh, the lore is a bit confusing but from a graphic design perspective, i think it's really enjoyable

and melon chica :_:

Because the phantoms are pretty boring and you can forget they pretty easy, sprindtrap is the only good character of this game

To me making Springtrap's jumpscare be just walking up to the player makes sense, even if it's not scary. He's a man who got springlocked and hasn't ran in a good while, so it would kinda make sense if he could not run at ya like Foxy, jump at you like Puppet, or do a normal jumpscare like everyone else.

Scott made only one animatronic, so you could feel that you're 1v1 with Springtrap. I agree that his jumpscare isn't scary nor terrifying, but it's still fun to play the game

@@thekindlykobold that makes total sense, well said my friend

@@thekindlykobold I love the concept of this but if we are being honest, his brain must have rotted pretty bad or something because he is as dumb as a bag of bricks. He will keep crawling into the same sealed vent over and over sometimes and it is damn funny.

@@RafaPro44 remember he might think this is his son. So instead of killing he looks closely.

Well it's not really one-on-one... Phantoms exist

@@anonanonymous9670 Not physically, so it doesn't matter much.

Oh you had no idea…

I think the jumpscare's great. This is a stone-cold killer that's finally got his target cornered, and is ready to savor the upcoming slaughter.

I personally don't think that fnaf games are meant to be enjoyed like that. I think what matters is the adrenaline you get by just... sitting around and playing their cat and mouse game, use the doors strategically while also saving energy, putting a mask on and using a flashlight, using audios strategically to get your predator out of you, or closing the door of your room because you heard breathing and you can't even turn your flashlight on without dying. And I think Fnaf 3 really delivers on this adrenaline boost and fear you get.

Agreed, there was always something so intriguing about who springtrap was and how he came to be.

I wouldn't say 'best', but he's definitely unique.

I feel the same

I 100% agree with you

Someone just made a good comment that disagrees without shoving their opinion. I thought they all were killed. o7

I respectfully disagree I see where you come from but maybe Im just not seeing it

A lot of melancholy emotion, I like it too

I was one of those kids back in 2014-2015 that would pirate the mobile versions and play them in the middle of school. Fnaf 3 is the only one i couldn't complete, it fucking terrified me with the phantoms and panic of broken devices and sometimes losing springtrap just threw me out, a kid that knew fnaf 2 like the back of their hands and that would play fnaf 4 nonchalantly. I fucking love fnaf 3

True, true.

They talked about it extensively because that's when FNAF blew up.

@@Vorcupine it blew up from the first game lol

Good taste for a 4th grader

@@sonicroachdoggjrraven3263 I can't tell who you were talking to- ?

@@Vorcupine I was talking about mojo MCcall they said the game clams out in 4th grade and they liked it.

Mangle replaced bonnie because springtrap is also a phantom bonnie

I'd argue that his jumpscare in 3 is far better than in UCN. He feels like a killer who just completely and totally cornered his target in 3, while he just feels like yet another spooky thing screaming in your face and waving its arms.

In my opinion, those are the unique good things of this game, because of that i think that this game its pretty far to be the best fnaf

Man used no punctuation.

I think people don't count phantom animatronics, because it's very easy to avoid them if you played at least 4 times. But the Foxy is scary and annoying

The reason I don't like FNAF 3 is because the only thing that kills you is way too easy to keep at bay.

The jump scares are goofy asf

@@gamingblastoise7959 it is not an exploit. You just use sound ques in the same spot, and close the nearest vent. That is how you are supposed to do.

You make a very good point. Each game was so influential to many different fan game devs that without them it would feel kinda weird to see where the community would have ended up. In a way that makes me happy that we got the other sequels, but narratively I just feel that 3 was such a solid conclusion.

@@Pastraspec my thoughts exactly, though fnaf 6 also was a pretty ok ending. Not as good as fnaf 3 in terms of emotional impact, atleast for me, but still satisfying.

@@--CHARLIE-- I think it was a great ending just because of Henry’s epic speech, I wish that was the ending of at least the Henry vs William story, but hE aLwAyS cOmeS bAcK

@@mcblazehunter6888 same, Henry and Michael finally rid the last remaining loose ends to this horrible nightmare of what happened in the pizzerias and finally giving the spirits peace (except for William Afton of course)

I couldn't agree more about the direction of later installments. I feel that the story just reached a point where it was becoming convoluted just for the sake of it rather than trying to tell a compelling story.

For me fnaf 2 just gives me a sense of panic because of the amount of animatronics there are. Eventually it doesn't become scary but at first it is. Fnaf 3 is my least liked mostly because it's gameplay is boring, even though it's creepy.

@@lbucoral6113 I think what makes fnaf 3 scary is that you have to realize this animtronic is possess by not a child this time but an intelligent,pyschopathic,manipulative man springlocked into a suit. I didnt even last 2 nights in fnaf 2,I just left it and never played it again lmao

Fnaf 2 perfected gameplay with horror

@@MDComix Sorry but the only times the game makes me tense is when I think I screwed up, but that happens with every game, I think I'm more tense playing hard rhythm games than in fnaf 2. The atmosphere also isn't really scary in any way, there are less hallucinations and the ones there are are not likely to happen because of how you use the cameras. The game is only scary in the first 2 nights and then it becomes too chaotic to feel scary after a few deaths

Yes!!!

That is very opinionated- but I respect it

I like Security Breach and the originals despite their flaws, but if you like the originals more, than that’s ok.

@@redninja0078 I never said security breach was bad, just not as good as the originals. It just doesn't feel like fnaf, and the rushed feeling of it doesn't help it's case
