Worth $10?

Is it short at least?

yes its worth ten dollars, also everyone is gonna shitpost from this post onwards

But promoting scams on /v/ is fotm
>>
>>312238451

It has a free demo. I wouldn't say that the demo is a strong part of the game, but it should be enough to tell you if it's worth parting with ten bucks over.

You would then have to replay the demo section, though, so if you wanna skip that I'd say yes, it is worth $10, give it a shot.

>The puzzles aren't particularly impressive. 10/10 - Destructoid
Is that a troll review or something? Is there some meta thing with this game?
>>
Eh, I'm not really getting the massive hype surrounding it but it's a pretty good game with offbeat, sometimes-funny-sometimes-dark writing and an interesting battle gimmick. It lasts about 5-6 hours for a single playthrough, give or take. There's room for multiple playthroughs but personally I'm not sure if I feel like playing it again.

It's worth $10 I think. Especially considering the cards are selling for an overly high price for some reason so you can easily make $3-$4 back in Steam funbux.
>>
>>312238771

The game is mostly made by one guy, and that guy thought it would be funny to put 10/10 reviews on the Steam page with negative quotes.
>>
>>312238771

The developer pulled just the offhand negative comments from a bunch of extremely positive 10/10 reviews for the page quotes.

It's pretty good. It's about 5-ish hours per playthrough, and you're heavily encouraged to do at least two.

If anything, it caters to people who've played a few RPGs before. It has some fun with the terms EXP and LV, and the genocide route makes a minor plot point out of you using the same name for your character that you'd use other RPGs.

5 hours for a regular playthrough, another 3 to get the true ending and another 10 if you want to waste time doing genocide. 5$ would be a more appropriate price, but you could always just pirate it seeing as the dude has clearly made his 3 years monies worth.

I respect this game a lot, but can the endless praise please take a break? It's not perfect by any means. While it succeeds in using its gameplay to convey its themes it doesn't succeed everywhere.

Firstly, the visual style feels like a confused mishmash of retro graphics with disregard for quality in a lot of places. Some sprites are pretty, others clash and make the game look unfinished.

Secondly, the dialogue is on-the-nose and the game doesn't seem to know what subtlety means. Every fourth-wall break and every joke is explicitly dropped to the player with no regard for tasteful discretion. This kind of makes the game feel like it's trying too hard to be a randumb memefest.

The moments involving gameplay are great. But the dialogue and story on its own is lackluster.

It really doesn't. It serves as a reminder that the game's characters, dialogue and plot has no value outside of memes. The use of gameplay is what carries this game, yet people derive so much pleasure out of smelling their own farts about how funny a character's memetastic joke was. It's MLP-tier.
>Sorry Kojima.
Doesn't refute my point.
>>
>>312239494
That's a poor comparison. More slices means more accuracy.

4 out of 4 means you are within 25% of perfect.
A 7 could be a 4.

10 out of 10 means you are within 10% of perfect, which is the margin of error, which means it should be pretty much fucking perfect AKA a masterpiece that is not likely to ever be equaled.

Unfortunately, game "critics" have destroyed the credibility of their profession by handing out 10s for $20s, so now they can only show approval for something they "like" by giving out free award coupons.

This game will make you depressed because it will reawaken your childlike sensitivity, thirst for love, zest for life, and wonder, and then you will come crashing back down to reality.

It will awaken your inner child, and then your inner child will have to die all over again, because that time is long gone, and you have work at a cubicle tomorrow.

Pretty much what I thought. The goat mom was kinda neat when she goes all weird, but people act like she was a fucking flawless character with real emotional ties to you.

>>312243396
That's why I never liked Bastion but I wouldn't say the same thing about Undertale - while random encounters can get tedious, all of the game's boss fights are really entertaining and fuck with your expectations to keep the game fresh.
>>
>>312243691
A lot of the fun of boss fights is the dialogue. While they do have new mechanics, they're usually not challenging. What keeps you entertained throughout the boss fight is the dialogue and the context in relation to the story.

Someone like >>312243050 who finds the game's plot and writing to be shit would find it tedious. Then again, I wonder if that's a problem specific to Undertale or if it's a problem that all JRPGs have to work around.
>>
>>312244158
I didn't say that the plot is bad.
The games plot and setting are quite good, but the writing isn't. I also found myself barely smiling to the stupid jokes, and those take up a majority of the game. I feel as though he reused jokes again and again because he didn't know what else to write. There was some good writing though, like the book in Toriels bookshelf.

In the same way that Homestuck was named as a somewhat synonymous reference to Earthbound, Undertale is somewhat synonymous with Cave Story
Two areas are similar to two of the first three Lands introduced. As a bonus, the name of the track that plays in the Hotlands is even "Another Medium".
"Megalovania" returns after being used in an animation in Homestuck. An animation in which a god awoke and stopped a monster with time powers and a fallen hero murdered someone who was their friend.
"Megalovania" is originally from Toby/Radiation's Earthbound hack. Its appearance in Undertale is not only a reference to that hack's twisted story, but his own Totaka's Song.
A few enemies are based on the trolls. Aaron seems to be based on Equius and Pyrope is directly named after Terezi. While Temmie most likely isn't based on Nepeta, her interaction with Aaron seems to be based on such.
Undyne seems to be inspired by Vriska and Meenah.
One of the monsters in the MTT Resort lobby is a white dog with long black hair and red shoes, likely referencing Jade, who in her god tier form has red shoes and is fused with her white dog.
Some of the characters have a unique font and quirk attributed to them (ie. Sans with all lowercase letters and using Comic Sans ( or Sans serif) font, Papyrus speaking in All Caps in the Papyrus font), which sometimes aren't used when things get serious.

and that's just the very very surface level

You can do it slowly and see for yourself. The point is to grasp your thum pand then instantly flick into postion at the 2nd picture. If yo udo it slowly, you can feel tension happening where it shows it will happen. It can hurt like hell and you might need a cast if you grasp your thumb too much and then flick it instantly into that position.

>>312248184
Oh, shit.

I was trying it on my left hand and couldn't feel anything, so I did it on my right, and could feel it as soon as I was about... halfway to the end position.

Yeah, I can see it.

Huh. tricking people into ripping a tendon is ALMOST as malicious as getting them to turn a spoon into shrapnel, or creating mustard gas in their kitchen, but at the same time it's more innocuous and more likely to trick someone.
>>
>Worth $10?
Yes.
>Is it short at least?
You can complete a playthrough in four or five hours. I did full pacifist, and explored lots of things, and it took me about eight hours to get the True End. The game does do the Earthbound thing where you can explore the world after final battle, and talk with all of the characters, with them having something new to say.

Try the demo. If you enjoy it, you'll like the rest of the game.

I finished my normal run in just over 3, then I reloaded and finished out true pacifist. All of the fucking walking in the true pacifist path especially when you go back to the goddamn beginning to talk to Asriel bumped me up to just over 6 hours.

I can definitely see some of these references, but some of them are just reaching. Like Undyne, or Papyrus' and Sans' quirks being based on trolls.
And even the enemies are pretty innocuous references, if you don't know about Homestuck they seem just like regular jokes, much like everything else in the game.
I don't blame Toby for referencing works he has worked on past, Homestuck in particular put him in map for lots of people, and it's not like MSPA was always shit.
>>
>>312248745
>especially when you go back to the goddamn beginning to talk to Asriel
...I didn't even try going back. God damn.
But yeah, I didn't play too fast, and took few attempts to kill some of the bosses. My run was pacifist, then loading after final boss to complete everything needed for the true ending.

You got through in 3 hours? That's pretty quick, although I guess if you're just blasting through everything that'd make sense. It took me 8 hours for my first run, but I was talking to everybody and checking out all the nooks and crannies.
>>
>>312249015
It feels to me that tone of the story changed too much as Homestuck progressed. At the beginning Andrew was making all the different characters as kind of parody, but the whole thing got way more popular than he expected, so he started investing more into those things.
Or that's the image I got as I read it few years back, anyway. It got messy.
>>
>>312249129
I did talk to everyone. I just had relatively few reloads, on account of not dying to much.

the Amalgam that pretends to be a save point killed me more than any boss did. I was too spooped to dodge properly.

i think you misinterpreted some things. all parody in homestuck always was underneath something honest. like dave's jokey parody business of being "cool" was always a front. rose's interest in gothy whatever shit always was an undercurrent to her depressive nature and eventual tendency to giving up.

and as far as it being messy:

>If it's just "did you know how crazy it would get" the answer's yes. That was always the intention. Perhaps not intention so much as grim understanding. I was going off the advancement of PS as a model, and expected to duplicate or surpass that degree of escalation from the very start.

there's an even better quote about this that i can't find, but that was always the idea. it starts off deceptively simple on purpose.

Undertale being one man effort definitely affects all the 10/10 reviews it is getting, but there is more to it than that.
It is short game, and packed very tightly with jokes and nice content. The things it sets out do, it does very well, and because it's easy enough that you don't need to grind, you don't get bored. If you play normally and get few levels, bosses are become very easy, which is reviewers like.
And the first ending that you get ends on very high note, with game then encouraging you to try doing things different, with True Ending being nice and heart-warming experience.
Only when you start exploring more, or going into Genocide route, does the game get frustrating and hard at points.

The good reviews are totally understandable, but I wish people would look into it more.

No, but

ONE CHARACTER TALKS LIKE THIS. SO KIND OF LIKE HOMESTUCK, I SUPPOSE. IF YOU WANT IT TO BE, AND IF NOT, THEN I GUESS IT IS NOT. NYEH HEH HEH HEH

and another character, you know, he talks like this. (yawn) real casual, if you know what i mean. so, if its too painful to read dialogue which kind of suits the guy who's saying it, then, you know, maybe it just isn't for you, heh.

I can read Terry Pratchett novels, but Homosuck was a bit much for me. I got to the update frontier some years ago, and never bothered to read it again.
I don't mind when characters talk in ways that suit their personalities, but the two you portrayed already seemed annoying. If they're supposed to be annoying, that's good.

I think the writing, towads the end, is a little flawed.

> the focus on friendship
The friendship in undertale is like having a relationship in mass effect accept it is mandatory.

Friendships are supposed to be personal and special, but here you are just put onto rails. It is a very shallow representation of friendship wich is a shame especially since the game makes a strong emphasis on this.
