Why is Undertale being called one of the best games ever made? I mean the "bullet hell" gameplay mechanic is kind of neat for five minutes, I guess, but that gimmick only gets you so far, when the rest of your game is garbage.

The level design is shit. The vast majority of the game consists of the main character moving to the right of the screen. Sometimes you will go up or down. Once in a blue moon the game requires to go left a for a few seconds, but for the most part a map of this game could be represented with a very long, mostly straight line. That's pretty fuckin' boring if you ask me, and by that metric this game is already shittier than literally (rather than figuratively) any other RPG/Adventure game I can think of.
>Dragon's Quest
>Chrono Trigger
>Super Mario RPG
>Final Fantasy (even fucking Mystic Quest)

Without delving into opinions that can be disregarded as subjective, all of these games are OBJECTIVELY better than Undertale in the following two respects:
>The level design is more interesting than a straight line and requires atleast a little bit investigative intuition. Even Mystic Quest which is pretty shitty has more interesting villages to visit and explore than Undertale.
>The actual gameplay is more challenging and some amount of intelligent of foresight before proceeding can help substantially.
The encounter rate in Undertale is so low, and the chance of taking any damage enough to kill you before you reach another save-point/health-refill star is unlikely if your even half-awake while playing the game.
>OOOH! B-but you could do a pacifist run.
I could also play a better game.

Calling it mediocre and a quote-on-quote game is wrong, but I agree, it's capabilities is highly overestimated. It also ruins the game itself since you're supposed to go in with low expectations, and the "Fandom" is literally tearing it apart and making it seem like the next Pokemon.
It's a good game, and an indie GOTY contestant, but not overall GOTY, not game of all time, not even overall best game of the business quarter, but it's GOOD, and in terms of indie, it's GOTY-worthy.

People play Undertale for the writing and meta-elements.

Personally speaking, I think it's mediocre even then, but to try and explain things objectively, it's a very "current" narrative in that the characters are relateable to a target audience and the themes play and interact with common gaming subjects. Basically it's a game that came out at just the right time to impress.

I don't think it'll be memorable two years down the line though. The gaming climate changes fast these days and unlike the games you listed, it doesn't really stand on its own that it might become timeless.

You can continue to throw your buzzwords at the screen like spoiled toddlers but the fact remains: this game HAS and will continue to change gaming as we know it and be remembered as time passes.

Nobody has ever made such a charismatic, intelligent, insightful, innovative and creative game since MGS3 or Majora's Mask. Furthermore, you can continue to hate this by proclaiming it's "tumblr", but the fact remains, it's so much more than that. It's honest. It's emotional, it's vulnerable. It's as real as it gets for video gaming in 2015.

It's very experimental and not many will give it a chance because it doesn't "bang on the couch" but furthermore, it truly deserves all the acclaim it has and will get in the future.

Hate all you want, you know objectively it's 10/10. The storytelling, gameplay and concept are like no other.

Now something I see alot is people comparing this game to the legendary god-tier Earthbound. This is because the characters are drawn in a goofy artstyle & say goofy things. While I enjoy goofy dialogue, it does not require substantial talent to either draw the shitty Deviant-Art tier graphics of Undertale or write the dialogue in Undertale. To be fair it doesn't require much talent to write the dialogue in Earthbound either, but the graphics of that game are substantially better and the atmosphere far more engaging with far better level-design to boot.

Undertale is a SJW game.

>Y-you just think that because it's about pacifism and has gays!

Even ignoring the lesbians and trans robot, Undertale is a SJW game. And not because of pacifism. Undertale goes beyond being a game about pacifism. goes beyond saying "killing everyone is bad." There would be nothing wrong with the game's narrative if the message was just "killing everyone is bad." In that case it would just be overly simplistic in its morals, but well-intentioned.

Undertale' morals are insidious. The game paints a specific kind of self-defense as objectively bad in an intentionally disingenuous and manipulative way: the monsters want to kill you, but you can't fight back, because the monsters are afraid of you due to past actions of the humans and you need to take the initiative to show them you're not bad. The monsters are not at fault for wanting to murder you and actively trying to do so, because you, as a human who had "oppressed" the monsters, have what is clearly a sort of "privilege" over them through the power you wield, and the only way to beat the game is to "dismantle your privilege" in a symbolic sense by getting to know the monsters for the nice people they really are and ignoring their aggression against you. And if you dare fight back against the monsters whose aggression is justified because of the sins of your forefathers, you're a bad person for it. Dare I say, racist.

It's really transparent privilege narrative.Undertale' morals are manipulative and insidious. The message is not "don't kill everyone," the message is "it's your responsibility to resolve the aggressions of people who hate you because of what your ancestors do" and "self defense against aggressors is wrong if they can justifiably cry racism" before ending with a pro-mass immigration message.

Hmm, I wonder what Toby Fox's opinion on Syrian refugees might be! It's hard to figure that out from his hit game Undertale!

The internet is in a sad state these days. A "game" with atrocious graphics, atrocious character design, and which only lasts maybe 5 non-challenging hours long and has terrible pacing for an adventure RPG with non-adventure non-RPG bullet hell mechanics unnecessarily mixed into it (i.e. babby's first hack adventure RPG), for some reason has multiple threads up every single day for longer than the game itself lasts for, on multiple websites across the internet. And people reply and fill all of them up. People like it enough to keep posting, and people hate it enough to keep posting, where in reality it shouldn't have any attention at all except for having a small obscure community forum somewhere.

Why is the world so dumb, /v/?
>>
>>321324396
Just the whole pacifism theme. Even cute characters like Ness, or friendly characters like Mario have to fight their enemies sometimes. The idea of a giant fucking yeti coming after you with a spear and the game telling you you're not supposed to attack something like that, it's just pretentious as fuck. There is nothing wrong with defending yourself and pacifism is overrated.

Granted, I know you will make false analogies, comparing it to other games where you don't have to fight or you don't have to kill anyone. But there is a way to do it right, and a way to do it wrong. Undertale does it wrong.

It doesn't matter how mic time the characters were given to develop, all of their dialog was teeming with enough personality that people found them endearing, which is the main draw of the game's continued popularity. People are much more in love with Undertale's writing than its gameplay.

And even in the gameplay department, figuring out how to appease enemies instead of fight them is a novel enough concept as to make the game mechanically unique, no matter how effective you personally found the delivery of it.

It's a decent game, the twists and the soundtrack is well done.
The story is nice enough, but It's key emotional hammer is guilt, with several still living characters calling you out on killing any other character, and even if you don't kill anyone, you will be bitch slapped with guilt at the end anyway by the one person you can't save.

The "Muh tumblr pandering" crowd is over blowing whatever they see, the Girl guardian/Girl researcher relationship, workout bros, and ambiguous gender -tagonist have all been done before, and any accusations of meme pandering are just people trying too hard to bash the game.
That having been said, the fanbase is riddled with cancer, with waifu posting, crazy ships, Steel Donuts, and horrible fetishes abound. This is to be expected with anything that becomes breakout popular, though, and you can navigate through relatively unscathed, or don't handle the cancer at all, either one.

TL:DR: Undertale is a good game. It's not the absolute best though, and the Fanbase does have cancer. If you can handle that though, you'll probably like it.

It happens to pretty much every popular game, and it gets confusing as hell to determine if a game is legitimately good.

It'd probably be a bit better if tags and genres were a bit more descriptive. The way things are set up I don't know how to find JRPGs with good customization like FFV.

I liked Homura The Skeleton. I liked the meta elements that your character is aware that you're resetting. I liked the characters as a whole.

The game was something that hit me completely off guard and then ended up enjoying every last bit up until the Genocide boss fight that was insanely difficult. All the meta elements of you being someone behind the screen and the story was implemented so well and there are so many details in this tiny game it's hard not to like it unless you're le epic contrarian or muh graphix

The level design is really good actually. You're always going from one interesting/unique/creative area to the next with little to no filler. Puzzles are ubiquitous and varied, and the pacing is so good that you only see each type of random encounter 1-3 times.

Not doing a pacifist run is just refusing to meet the game on its own terms, though, so I'm not surprised you didn't enjoy it. I hope you eventually regain your joy for videogames.

It's not terrible, but there have been better stories. The story was a 6/10 but everything else more than makes up for it. The main emphasis is obviously on the characters.

>>321323024
The overall experience of those things, as well as the way they were used by the developer is up there with the best games ever. This is surprising because hardly any games in the past few years gave people lasting impressions as Undertale did.

>But they said it's the best game ever!

The substance was interacting with the characters, who were all well written in spite of their simplicity.

I know that the next thing to do is post a bunch of one line greentexts boiling the characters down to their strongest traits, but the fact stands that these traits were presented incredibly well. Every interaction you have with the characters is informative about their personality and charming individually, which makes the characters rounded in spite of being one note. The substance was the characters, who were all brilliant.

At this point people literally make threads to talk about how much they hate Undertale. It's hilariously sad.

What substance?
The writing? Lots of people love the characters so you're in the wrong there. There's also a lot of attention to detail in the game.
The plot? On the top layer it's a pretty simple concept, you enter place, you leave place and try to go back home. When you actually reach the end the plot becomes something entirely different that I haven't seen done before and takes full advantage of the fact that it's a PC game, even going so far as resetting the game and changing the game's code being canon to the lore/plot.
The gameplay? It's pretty much a simple bullet-hell mixed with WarioWare minigames that's fun for most people who haven't really played those games. This is probably a legit complaint but at least Sans was a fun fight.
The OST? It's fucking top-tier and contribute to making the game feel fun, especially when the rhythms fits with the gameplay. (For example the fight against Undyne in genocide and Asriel in pacifist)

>Why is Undertale being called one of the best games ever made?
Because doing so gets autistic longass rants from retards like you. Why do you think I voted Undertale on that GameFAQs poll? Because every time it won, /v/ would literally shit itself with tears and rage. Over a GameFAQs poll.

Undertale is a masterpiece. It has brilliant writing and relatable characters. It's also progressive and fully deserved to win that poll.

Now watch, some retard is going to take that seriously and reply to it.

Because shitposters don't like it, and false flagging is one of the easiest ways to make everybody else dislike it.

Why is Citizen Kane so critically acclaimed? It's an okay movie, but I personally think its way over-rated.

It isn't.

Why do you people feel the need to make new threads about Undertale every time you want to complain? There's a /vg/ thread AND at least a couple Undertale threads up at all times.
Are you this desperate for attention or are you actually so slow you don't know why the game was popular despite the constant threads asking the same thing?

Ive never played a SMT game but just from having skimmed past threads about it on /v/ I'm pretty sure you can do that in those games as well.

No, not even.

Gotta love how overtly political all the guys who love and hate the game have made of the messages and content in the game itself. Is it because this shitty site and specially this shitty board is full of degenerate sociopaths with a lack of empathy that the emotional aspect of the situation represented in the game is totally lost on so many people here?

Not only that, we also have people here whose only concept of gameplay in video games is just combat which is also pathetic due to how narrow the viewpoint/concept is, closing one's mind to variety in gameplay.

Though the most cringeworthy thing about this all are the ones who create threads and bump them to insane amounts of replies, meaning that they spend a lot of time, for the sake of hating the game. You claim you like actual video games? Then stop spending so much time thinking and writing about a game you purportedly hate and play video games that you like. Don't even try to say "I was looking for new viewpoints to help me like this game" because most people that either absolutely love or hate this game have their heads so far up their asses that they don't want to stick their heads out for actual other perspectives.

Rolling cuz good god these threads are always shit whether one likes Undertale or not.

Undertale isn't the best game of the year.
It isn't the best indie game of the year.
It isn't even the best indie game whose title is the word "under" +4 more letters of the year. Fucking pathetic.

>>321334134
You got it mixed up senpai, it's the autistic tumblr children who don't understand empathy or emotions and need a boring retro pixel RPG to beat them over the head repeatedly with a cliche message presented in a bright and colorful autism bait vidogame.

That's why you retards think a mediocre game is so good, it's the first piece of media in your sad autistic wall banging life that you grasped an emotional message in.

Undertale is regarded as "GOAT" because it breaks the modern mold of FPS 1080p console games, combined with yiff and "Friendship is Magic!" Basically, it caters to neckbeard manchildren.

At this point memetale should get it's own board like /mlp/, because that's pretty much exactly what it is. Quirky, colorful characters who all love each other to death spouting LE HILARIOUS dialogue at each other. Undertale is the new MLP.
