Fair!

I fully respect your opinion, however I have a couple of counterpoints; The miss delight sequence could have used some better respawning, for sure, maybe just a checkpoint in the middle, but overall she's pretty slow, you can run away from her, not staring at her and she can't keep up. If you lose track of her, you can back into a corner, and stare at both doorways and you should be able to catch her. Catnap's final boss fight does thrust you into into a scenario where you have no idea what you are doing, players will be confused, and I think that is a good thing. Not having control of a situation that is contingent on your life is terrifying. While I respect the fact that it's frustrating, and it really is, I think a lot of the horror would be lost if you could easily bust through it on your first try. Still, a lot could be fixed with the fight (like the computer monitor leaving you a little tip that the flare gun can reveal the truth). Catnap not killing us immediately is another thing I like about this chapter. Almost as if he's not just aggressive because he's a monster, but rather, he didn't see us as something that needed to be destroyed quite yet. He gave us clear warnings, telling us to leave outright, and when we kept pushing, he attacked. Maybe he saw us as a potential follower of the prototype? Then he really wouldn't want to kill us. I also think the reason he threw us in the trash compactor is because he thought we were dead at first, so he was just disposing us. We aren't a toy so he might not want actual human flesh. I like Mark, I really do, but in all honesty, he crapped on this chapter way to hard for it's flaws. He seemed to not really pay attention to the story. Ollie and Poppy made it clear that Catnap will eventually kill you, and he was confused as to why Catnap was trying to kill him at the end. He missed so many things he did not intend to miss. I honestly think the reason he reacted so heavily was because the Iron Lung movie is stressing him out. Anyone would be short-tempered when working on massive art projects. The rest is pretty agreeable, The puzzles do take up a lot of time, and pad the game out a little too much for how easy they are. I kind of wish more puzzles were like the mini critters and Miss Delight. Where you have to complete them under some form of tension, like a lot of Chapter 2's mini-games. Possibly even bringing back some older toys as threats surrounding said puzzles. Overall very good video! Have a like and a sub :3

You make some interesting conterpoints and I totally agree Mark would be stressed out! We are also talking about a gaming KZreadr who has played hundreds of thousands of games and being strict on time would probs make him frustrated. I think for me it was more the fact the game built up Catnap so much and it didnt feel like an epic conclusion, like it wasnt as cool as I thought it would be. I disagree with the Catnap final boss fight I still think its badly designed and is just frustrating. Your a legend for subbing! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Jeez was miss delight that hard? I never personally had a problem with her. As for the puzzles there were times i was like okay maybe less puzzles and more character scenes. But i definetely liked that the puzzles had new mechanics and each of the puzzles has sub mechanics to make the solution different each time. It wasnt frustrating for me but it felt like they could have instead padded the time by having more sequences with catnap or other monsters. The final boss battle was really fun for me because they made it better with the latest patch. Much more balanced and with no bugs. I feel like if you get confused with the mechanics thats entirely on you not paying attention. Because the game DOES give you time explaining and lets you experiment with the mechanics of the boss battle and understand them. Which is why i disagree with mark on this one too. Mark was not paying enough attention on the story and mechanics and was then questioning things and everyone in his comments section was also calling him out on this one. (Btw you can skip catnaps tutorial and speed it you dont have to sit through it lol.)

The puzzles had cool mechanics but they introduced all the mechanics way too soon and as a result by the 5th time it was getting annoying, plus the timing of the puzzles. And yes more character moments is what I wanted. The final boss fight was criptic to figure out. Considering how out of place from the rest of the game it was, it really confused me. It personally frustrated the hell outta me, because again I didnt care about catnap as much. The thing is I go into a game with the same mindset that I believe mark does. We go in blind and with just letting the game speak for itself. I don't watch outside lore or any teasers. I go in blind and experience the game as is. And when I played this game for the first time, it was right after 1 and 2. So I could not have gone in with any fresher perspective because I literally played the games in order and followed the story. I personally did not enjoy chapter 3 compared to the others. While the story is definetly cool and the game is scary, the gameplay was too distracting for me to get into it. Some people arent willing to care about the story if they arent enjoying the experience. Also I dont think you could on release which is when I played it.

I honestly disagree just I feel that even though the puzzles weren't perfect, they showed (the cave one being an example) how playtime put the workers in dangerous situations and I am a lore diver so for me this chapter was the best. even the boss fight room showed that experiments escaped and sometime a worker would be cornered in there to defend until help came. finally to wrap this up, just the entire thing about these puzzles, the new mechanics do build on how the higher up workers had to be put in more dangerous situations and just how much they had to do to maintain that higher up spot.

I see your point, but I feel that isn't the lore aspect they should have focused on. They should have focused on building up catnap better. I would have preferred to have multiple interactions with catnap or the other smiling critters or something like that then the puzzles.

Only issues for me is office, at least made catnap peaking at us more and use flare gun, or hiding from catnap when there a sign or something that u need to hide, but in the end after the horror momentum build through the whole game then the horror are gone (for me) after the final boss fight begin and turned out to be extremely fun like action boss fight Sometime i feel that ch3 is too horror to fun with lol, i mean it not fun cause it too horror

Heres my thoughts, number 1, Poppy Playtime is a very worthy franchise and deserves something. All franchises do, it's one of my biggest favorite franchises of all time to be honest. Number 2, the gameplay felt interesting and the CatNap fight was definitely frustrating and needs to be reworked. The gameplay was something different but i think it's the best chapter because chapter 1 was very short and many things cut, chapter 2 was like 3x longer but maybe the least scariest chapter from them all from Mommy's talking. Chapter 3 checks not all but most boxes. Its a very emersive experience of how dark this place is. The Playcare and Game Station where the kids would play games and live. And being used to make expermients and used for work/entertainment for the children which really is messed up. Especially for DogDay to me. Genuinely its an amazing chapter and i think it might be my new favorite game. I even bought there DAMN merch. At the end of the day, its your thoughts. Not mine. (Have a good day!)

There's no dialogue from you during the "Final Thoughts" segment.

I personally love puzzles a lot, so doing them is always fun for me. I think instead there being too many puzzles, what really contributed more to the padding feeling is that the puzzles themselves were too easy and uninteresting to do. They could've built on the puzzles more by making them more challenging and engaging to complete imo The thing markiplier said about the hand puzzles making no sense from a story perspective is true, though. Why would the workers need to get around like this? But if they're engaging enough I can suspend my disbelief enough to accept that weirdness.

If they built on the puzzles depending on the situation (eg. Making it that it flows with the story like in chapter 1) then I wouldnt have had as much of a problem.

Dogdays jumpscare is also funny and awkward.

my main criticism of this game is the fact that the game tells you too much and its pretty obvious that they were inspired by batim but missed what made that game work this gane doesnt feel like a rip off but it doesn't leave any room for mystery like bendy did and the gameplay is too focused on puzzles and stretching out game play compared to foreshadowing and making the unsettling scenes work an example of this would be introducing characters like dog day his scene was super cool but if you look back at it we have no real reason to actually care about him since the game hasn't even introduced him and it feels like he only has those 2 minutes of screentime just so the game could have another chase scene instead of a puzzle it took all the things that made bendy cool and fun but not what made it interesting and gave the characters depth i feel like if the only thing that makes one of your most important characters lovable is the fact that they died and not what they died for and why they died for it and you can only guess than that's kind of lame and although you could say this for a few batim characters that's only the scenes where they're introduced because unlke poppy playtime they let you see the characters personalities good and bad before they die and they have more depth than "i am the good guy and here is the answer to everything and the key to every door" or "i am the bad guy im gonna chase you and kill you"

I have to dissagree on this one I for real didn't give a single shit about the first two chapter or the characters beside Mommy Long Legs since she had something going on plus Elisa Lovestock killed it(sorry if her nane is spelled wrong also the second chapter wasn't bad necessarily but just mid) But chapter 3 is the best ine not only is the quality much MUCH better than the shittly put together OVERRATED first chapter but so are the locations also this chapter has that wired sense of realisam and feels grounded in reality (tho it's about a giant life sized angry sleep paralysis deamon cat that has the soul of a seven year old in it) but the locations on their own feel likevreal locations as most horror game locations nowadays feel over the top (Pizzaplex and the house from Hello Nieghbor) The characters this time around I actually really like the Smiling Critters are just fucking adorable like how van you hate Crafty Corn and Catnap and Dogday's real life possesed/monster counterparts are the BEST designs in the series next to Boxy Boo and Miss Delight speaking of which I also like how in this chapter and the second one Catnap and Mommy Long Legs had minions that were like mini bosses tho I don't think the baby Smiling Critters counts as mini bosses since Dogday was the boss of the playhouse I love the Hour of Joy tape where I know a lot of people talk about the massacre of the workers but I tend to view it from the toys perspective especially Catnap as they literally had their live taken from then just so they can be slaves in an abusive company tho just saying they could've soared Dogday So yeah 7/8 only problem was I wanted the other Smiling Critters to be bosses to

This title already turns me off of the video. The idea that chapter 3 is WORSE than 1 or 2 is ridiculous. It's easily my favortie out of the 3 and feels like an entirely different experience.

It’s worth noting the CatNap boss was fixed in patch notes, and it is more enjoyable. The Miss Delight boss was a drag, but I didn’t mind it after I beat it because it was fast paced once you got better at the game. DogDay’s chase sucked. It really did. It was just running. Nothing really interesting happened and there was never a real reason to look at his face so the threat wasn’t too bad.
