      And you haven't given out the location yet, after over 1 year, probably because the place does not have the real Polybius arcade cabinet.

    What's really scary about this episode is the lack of music.
    When the video started the music sounded like he was doing a paranormal investigation series. But later on the music just became completely silent. I think that's what horror movies are missing, no music sometimes disturbs people. But most horror movies prefer to use Erie music to "scare" you.
    Also no jump scares. It's better to build up tension then actually just go for the typical FNAF jump scare. (Except there was a jump scare at the end, but that's besides the point)

    • @temmieton9755
      @temmieton9755 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      I feel like the jumpscare at the end was deserved after all the atmosphere and small little things he did to just make it horror without all of the cheap scares.

      The part where AVGN hits the Polybius cabinet while trying to get help kinda works as a jumpscares. It's unexpected and sorta loud but there is nothing scary about it so it keeps the mood going.

    • @yamato6114
      @yamato6114 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Jumpscares, when used properly, are actually pretty effective. The problem is a lot of badly done horror tends to rely too heavily on them so they loose their effectiveness.

      He's gradually left the "Angry" part behind which is disappointing because that's what made these episodes so great. For a bit he kept it up but I think he found it hard to be angry without manufacturing it too much. I think it also has something to do with the fact that he covered most of the games that frustrated him in his childhood where most of his pent up rage came from.
