TopicFive Nights at Freddy's 6 gets cancelled

Good night, sweet prince.

http://www.pcgamer.com/five-nights-at-freddys-6-gets-canned/

The Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon has confirmed the next FNaF game has been cancelled—despite having spent the last month dropping hints regarding what it might entail.

Taking to a Steam community update post, Cawthon explains he simply no longer wants to work on the game and that he's been "neglecting other things in [his] life for the sake of trying to keep up with mounting expectations."

Cawthon highlights this move does not mark his departure from game development, nor does it mean he's abandoning the Five Nights at Freddy's series. He says: "I want to get back to what made game-making enjoyable in the first place. In fact, the first game that I'd like to make would be something for you guys.

"Remember Foxy Fighters from Update 2? I loved working on that game. It was a lot of fun, and it took a lot of the pressure off me knowing that it was just for the fans of the games. That’s the kind of project that I'd like to work on again. Maybe I’ll try my hand at a pizzeria tycoon game, who knows. The point is that it would be something for fun, and something for the fans."

Cawthon continues, suggesting the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy's movie is in "amazing hands" and that he's still working to release a VR game down the line. "I think this is where I step back," he concludes before thanking fans of the series for their understanding and support.

The Last of Us is a great game with a strong cast of characters and superb presentation. Problem is the story is very predictable and the gameplay only shines if you play on the hardest difficulty. Otherwise, you will never feel threatened at any point throughout the game except the beginning.

TopicWould you consider Fire Emblem, Splatoon, and Xenoblade as core Nintendo series?

Fire Emblem is probably one of their core series. No point in limiting what's considered a core series when FE series as a whole at the moment is probably bringing way more money per year than Zelda did the last 4-5 years. Zelda is honestly not that big outside Western market. It doesn't sell particularly well in Japan, and most European countries and other Asian countries aren't that big of a market for Nintendo.

Splatoon is on its way to becoming core if that rumors of 80% attach rate in Japan is true lols but it really hasn't taken off in Western market to the same extent. Kids here love it though

Xenoblade is too niche. It's easily their best series at the moment, but it needs more games and more attention from Nintendo themselves. Their push for XC2 in E3 was fucking abysmal. I think it was in part because they didn't have enough time to create a sufficient showcase for E3. Whatever they showed was pretty rushed, since they just slapped a boss at a place and just kept as is whatever the first area probably had. But if that means they're 100% focusing on actually getting the game finished for 2017, I'm fine with that, too. But they seriously need to like reeeally push this game. Everything I see and read about this game gives me so much hope and urges


Probably due to Super Mario Odyssey being there. Like last year's E3, Nintendo's floor was Breath of the Wild themed. This year's floor was Super Mario Odyssey themed. I think if Xenoblade 2 came out at a different time with none of Ninty's heavy hitters coming out, it could have gotten that treatment. Sadly, we'll never know. Next year will probably be Prime 4 or Pokemon themed depending if those games actually release in 2018.

It's odd. From what I've read, the points for COMG are skewed against Nintendo games. Meaning 800 points are actually more than 800k pre-orders? They keep track of 16 stores and their pre-orders.

It makes me wonder about the replies in that tweet. I think they think 1 point is less than 1k pre-order, but supposedly that only applies to Sony games. It might definitely be a million pre-orders, but COMG doesn't seem like that reliable of a source.

In any case, the actual numbers are probably super high


Yeah, the first Splatoon almost sold 5 million during its lifetime. For a new IP debuting on the Wii U of all consoles, that's crazy.

I expect the sequel to sell a bunch of copies as well especially since there isn't much to play for the Switch right now.

you can play Automata without having played Nier, and enjoy it and have the story make sense.

it does highly reference the first game, though, and you'll appreciate it all the more if you'd played it.

Objectively wrong order. Take those damn P3 nostalgia goggles off. The game isn't as good as you remember. Tartarus is more repetitive and monotonous than most dungeons in any JRPG you'll find, the characters were pretty flat and dull or just one-note, and you couldn't control your damn party. It had good music and a good plot, but that's par for the course for the series.

I could see you arguing you like the characters more even if they are flawed in many ways, but I can't think of much else it does better than P4 or P5.


The characters in far more realistic and developed in P3 instead of flat and dull or just one-note. Tartarus is incredibly easy to navigate and not too bad if you don't try to rush to the barrier in one go. The party A.I. was also serviceable aside from Mitsuru.

Boy, I sure did love it when they removed several different types of physical attack in P4. Also, both scenarios are silly but bringing someone back from the dead because friendship takes the cake. P4 could have really been special if they introduced that level of tragedy in the game but instead, the writers took the easy way out.

Those excuses are jokes, man. I hope you're not serious, otherwise you just look like a damn fanboy. Especially saying non-controllable AI is anything but shit. And Tartarus is a drag rushing it or not. It shouldn't be a drag either way to begin with.

And the word you're looking for describing the characters is not realistic, it's "generic."


I think you should look in the mirror before calling someone a fanboy, my guy. I'm looking at this from a purely objective standpoint. If you actually played P3, you would know that the A.I. was not complete garbage. Also, don't try to rag on Tartarus while completely ignoring the poor excuses of dungeons that existed in Persona 4. Tartarus had its shortcomings but it was not the end of everything you are making it out to be.

Won't even count the first few Persona games since no one has bothered to play them.

Yes, Persona 4 is the worst out of these three easily. The combat is incredibly dumbed down. The writing is atrocious at many points. For example, bringing back a character due to the power of friendship. The characters were written poorly. Where was the character development outside of their individual arcs or S-links? Non existent but I sure do love it when the main group sucks off the protag. Not saying Persona 4 is a bad game. It's actually a great game but easily the worst of the modern Persona games.

Persona 5 could have been GOAT if Atlus didn't drop the ball on the writing here as well. It's bad writing when the antagonists are Saturday morning cartoon villain tier in order to cast the protagonists as the greater good even though their actions are morally grey at best. Also, it makes matters worse when after said cartoon villain is defeated, they go "I was treated like shit, too!". What should have been done was the whole "treated like shit as well" should have been sprinkled throughout the villain's arc to make them seem more human.

Persona 5 is fantastic but it could have been so much better if the story didn't play it cookie cutter. Also, thank you P4 for introducing the "one character joins per dungeon" feature. Due to that, Haru felt extremely underdeveloped and forgettable.

P3 is obviously the best one. Persona 5 could have been far superior if the writers didn't shit the bed.

"lel who plays video games for the story"

It's a story driven RPG. Might as well go play SMT if you only care about gameplay.

Writing isn't everything, though. The story in the P2 duology is superb but that doesn't save the laughable gameplay.

Commenting on “13 Reasons Why,” Peter Chui said, “I feel it’s dangerous for that small percentage of young adults who the show can become a trigger for them and I feel as if the show gives only one alternative for cyberbullying and other teenage issues.”

Bella, of Livermore, also hanged herself. Her mother, Donna, found her dead inside the family home three days before the girl’s 16th birthday.

“All I could see is that she was on her knees bent over, like she was digging in the closet. I thought she was joking around ‘cause there’s really nothing to find in her closet,” Donna told the news outlet. “So I laughed and said, ‘Hey Bella, what are you doing?’ And then I got closer and she had hung herself. She was so blue.”

The teen’s father wound up cutting down Bella, who was on life support for a week-and-a-half before she was taken off.
Bella, a sophomore at Livermore Valley Charter Prep School, was a straight-A student who had battled depression in middle school after being bullied, her family said.

But in the weeks before she took her life, she was doing better, according to her parents.

“She was doing great. We put her in a new school. She had new friends. They were coming over. She was interacting with them, it was very positive,” her mother said.

The teenager’s father, John Herndon, is pleading for Netflix to not release a second season of the show.

“Don’t go through with the renewal for the second season of ‘13 Reasons Why.’ Stop this. This is wrong. You’re making money off the misery of others,” he said.

The popular show has been controversial since its release for its depiction of suicide.

Netflix said in a statement to KTVU: “Our hearts go out to these families during this difficult time. We have heard from many viewers that ’13 Reasons Why’ has opened up a dialogue among parents, teens, schools and mental health advocates around the difficult topics depicted in the show. We took extra precautions to alert viewers to the nature of the content and created a global website to help people find local mental health resources.”

Two California families are putting the blame on the hit Netflix show “13 Reasons Why” for the recent suicides of their teenage daughters, according to a report.

The young girls, Bella Herndon and Priscilla Chui — both 15 — took their lives just days after watching the controversial show that tells the story of a teenage schoolgirl who commits suicide and leaves behind a box of pre-recorded cassette tapes explaining why to the people who have hurt her, Fox affiliate KTVU-TV reported.

The devastated families of the girls, who did not know each other and attended different high schools, say the show had triggered the teens.

“It’s very graphic, especially the two-minute scene where she slits her wrists in a bathtub,” Priscilla’s uncle Peter Chui told the news outlet.

Priscilla, a San Mateo resident, had attended Aragon High School and lived with her uncle before she hanged herself.

“She was precocious. She’s very determined,” Peter Chui said.

Recalling the day she took her life, the uncle said, “I just remember her brother running out and screaming, ‘Priscilla hung herself!’ We took her down, called 911, tried to do what we could … CPR, but it was pretty obvious. She was cold.”

Priscilla had struggled with depression, according to Peter Chui, who noted that her grades had also plummeted.

Commenting on “13 Reasons Why,” Peter Chui said, “I feel it’s dangerous for that small percentage of young adults who the show can become a trigger for them and I feel as if the show gives only one alternative for cyberbullying and other teenage issues.”

Hearing that there were concerns with not just the directors, but also the main actor, will likely do very little to calm nerves about the Han Solo fiasco. Still, there are some things to keep in mind. It’s noted Lucasfilm was “not entirely satisfied” with Ehrenreich’s interpretation, meaning there could be some aspects the studio does like. Additionally, it’s encouraging to see Lucasfilm willing to go the extra mile in an effort to course-correct. They understand better than anybody how important it is to get Han Solo “right” in this movie, so they’ll do whatever it takes to get what they want. Whether the ends justify the means is an entirely different debate, but if Ehrenreich wasn’t delivering the desired results, getting an acting coach sounds like a reasonable decision. And with Ron Howard overseeing the rest of shooting, hopefully these issues are past the filmmakers.

Lucasfilm obviously has to do a great deal of Han Solo damage control in the coming months in order to clear the air and paint a better picture of what’s going on. It’ll be interesting to see if the spinoff has any kind of presence at July’s D23 expo (as was initially expected), where some footage could possibly debut. Now more than ever would be a great time to give audiences their first taste of Ehrenreich’s Han so they have a greater idea of what’s in store and can actually see him in action. A couple of well-cut clips with young Han and Chewie could go a long way in changing the tune.

Basically, Disney isn't happy with this man's performance so they hired an acting coach to help him while on set.

This movie is going to end up being terrible and pissing off the fans.

Alden Ehrenreich, star of the troubled young Han Solo spinoff movie, was not delivering a performance up to Lucasfilm’s standards, leading the studio to hire an acting coach late into production. Out of all the new Star Wars films coming out in the Disney era, Han Solo was the one many fans were most skeptical of. Over the course of four movies, Harrison Ford perfectly embodied the smuggler and became synonymous with the character. The actor’s performance is a key reason why Han Solo is one of the most beloved figures in Star Wars lore, making it a daunting task for anyone to fill his footsteps. That was the biggest hurdle facing the project. Harrison Ford is Han Solo.

Still, Ehrenreich, the talented standout of Hail, Caesar!, was up for the task, enduring a grueling audition process that saw no less than 2,500 thespians try out for the role. Surrounded by a top-notch supporting cast including Woody Harrelson and Donald Glover, Ehrenreich seemed well-positioned to carry Han Solo on his shoulders and add to the Star Wars legacy. However, the latest reports indicate the studio higher-ups weren’t all that pleased about what they saw in the footage and decided to take drastic measures in order to fix what was going wrong.

The latest domino to fall comes courtesy of THR, who mentioned in their write-up on the problems that plagued Han Solo from the start that Lucasfilm hired an acting coach to help Ehrenreich late in production in order to get a better performance out of the youngster. The outlet notes that it is not unusual for a coach to be brought onboard during a movie, but the timing of this particular instance (like so much with Han Solo) is indeed out of the ordinary. Being the lead of a Star Wars film is no easy task, though unlike Daisy Ridley and Felicity Jones – who were able to craft original characters – Ehrenreich is under the microscope as the new Han. He has to strike the tricky balance between making Solo his own while also honoring what came before with Ford. No matter how strong one’s abilities are, that’s a daunting proposition.

And working out alone can be enjoyable. After a long day at work, sometimes just having my music and myself is enjoyable.


Right? I love listening to music and going at it. You can't really do that much with a gym partner. If people want a work out buddy so bad, they can just go to the gym and meet people. Most people at the gym are super friendly. Sure, there are a few people who are full of shit but you can't do anything about a bad apple.

Newer folks are like that. It's okay at first because going to the gym can be a little nerve wracking when getting started.

Gym buddy helps motivate each other to go and workout. Its the passing of time csuse when you go alone in the gym, it feels like you count the time while with a buddy, its fun and time passes easier


It is fun but it can be distracting. One time, I went to the gym with a group of people and they were too busy chatting and flexing in the mirror than actually exercising. It was very annoying and I never went back with them. I can say that I wish I had someone to motivate me sometimes.

Going to the gym alone is perfectly normal.

However, going to the movies alone...is not something I'd be comfortable doing.


I hate going to the movies alone. I know I won't be talking to anyone during the movie but I love walking right out of a movie at the end and discussing it with another person. Going alone, I can't do that until I'm back home and on the internet.

is it weird to lift weights alone? i feel like you need a spotter or you might die


Sometimes, I lift weights alone but only if I can handle it. I wouldn't try to push myself if I didn't have a spotter.

It's a lot easier to get the best out of certain exercises if you have a spotter. Asking a stranger to spot you is scary.


True, but you can make a potential friend in the process!

This is not a trend that I've seen.

For the most part, I see people going to the gym alone.


Where I live, at least, many people I have interacted with can't exercise alone. I'm always getting requests to go to the gym with someone because they want a gym partner.

People are social.
Some people only do things because they are social.
It sounds like the person you described is not into working out but rather hanging out.
Nothing wrong with that. Still healthy. That is why group exercise is so helpful and popular.


Yeah, nothing wrong with hanging out or group exercise. Though, if you really want to lose weight, then exercising alone is an option and it's not as bad as some people think it is. Some people think it's horrible that I go running in the morning by myself when it's actually very relaxing.

Or even just exercising alone? Some guy on Snapchat yesterday asked if anybody wanted to go to the gym with him. When no one was available, he stayed home and stuffed his face with food. I notice more and more people have been doing this. "No one wants to exercise with me so I'll just sit home and eat instead". That's not really helping at all. It's great having an exercise partner but sometimes, you need to take initiative and do it yourself.

True facts of life


Symphonia should be higher than Xillia but other than that... Not a bad list.

Inquisition was not a good game. It's sad that people gave it GOTY when it came out.

But it is. The DLC was great and Trespasser was an amazing epilogue and setup.


I don't usually count DLC as part of the package. Mainly base game.

There it is. You're peeved that it received the lion's share of attention.

I love Dragon Age 2, but any list that doesn't have it last is a goddamned joke.


Not even. Inquisition was a piece of shit. At least I got some enjoyment out of DA2. Poorly written "an ancient evil awakens" plot, mostly unlikable and boring cast, agendas up the ass, laughable animations, boring combat, and more I'm not even going to touch upon. Inquisition was not a good game. It's sad that people gave it GOTY when it came out.

The Poliwrath bosses in Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon tore me a new one. I barely managed to beat them with my Fennekin/Snivy duo. I'm scared to go back to this game because of how hard it pushes my shit in. According to my sources, this is the a child's adventure meaning shit gets real later on in the game. Blue Rescue Team and Explorers were hard enough as it is.

No, we think you should get the fuck off CE, and get your head in the game. It's a party. Put down the phone. Go get laid.
