Be honest /v/, is it worth the money?
>>321802390
I found it to be boring and I don't understand the praise it gets, it's just a mediocre game that doesn't offer anything new; it's all been done before.
Also its fanbase is so shitty I don't even think sonic can compete with this level of autism.
>>321802390

Pro

>short

Bad
>while the character have personality, whenever you find it obnoxious or charming kinda depends on you, one of the character personality is that of an obnoxious social inept weeaboo and the game will beat you in the head with it over and over with ebin jokes like "DO YOU THINK ANIME IS REAL???"
>the internet is a sucker for anything that breaks the 4th wall and gaming convention and will suck it's cock regarding the rest of the content
>battle tends to be slow paced because you have to dodge all the attack that the enemy throws at you
>easy as fuck outside of a super secret boss
>most of the game is spent solving boring easy puzzles that you'd expect to find in a nintendo game
>game has a moral system but it's not explained really well and honestly it feels like it's played for cheap feels since most of it is basicaly "YOU KILLED KENNY!, BASTARD!" and there are only 2 endings depending whetever you go full hitler or full gandhi
>short
>bad graphics outside of battles
it's not bad but because of the way it breaks the 4th wall, it leaves a bigger impression on the player so everyone shill more than it deserves, outside of that a good chunk of your playtime is spent solving boring puzzles and defeating easy enemies, it's only when you get into fight with bosses that the game actualy shine, that would make it sounds horrible but as i said since the game is pretty short, bosses makes like 70% of the game
i like to compare the game to the stanley parable, that game was literaly "PICK A OR B" but it broke the 4th wall and gaming convention so OOPS! BEST GAME EVER!
Yes
/v/ just hates on it because it's popular, everyone here loved it during the demo and the first week or so of its release before it developed a fanbase
And if you let the community ruin a purely single player game for you, you have a special kind of autism
>>321802797
>it's all been done before
haha ok
>>321802390
Yeah, I got 12 hours of enjoyment out of a game that cost $10.
It's worth it at the sale price, especially if you like goofy shit like Earthbound and LISA. People will probably touch on its pros and cons in this thread or talk about the fan base, but you should really just formulate that for yourself.

It's the typical flavor of the month indie trash praised by pcpirates because they have nothing better to play
it's great
you won't enjoy it though, the magic was experiencing it blind. sorry the internet ruins everything.
>>321802390
If you're experiencing it blind, then yeah. If not, then maybe.
I played it blind and it's one of my favorite games.
>>321802390
Played it some time ago, killed the goat bitch and got to the skelememe brothers, couldn't stand how drawed out their encounters were so I quit and haven't touched it since.
I honestly think it's nothing special, but apparently people are treating it like the second coming of Jesus, so whatever, buy it I guess
game is too short to buy, just pirate it. Toby is multi-millionare at this point tbqh.

Probably the only game ever to have a moral choice system where the endings are actually complete polar opposites of one another, with your choices in the game actually mattering. Other games that claim your choices matter look like a sad fucking joke compared to Undertale.
You can be an absolute hero that saves everything and everyone, you can be somewhere in between, or you can literally become the villain of the entire game, with all the game world characters that you would befriend normally rising up to fight against you in an attempt to save their world.
It's pretty great, although like a lot of people have said, the "game" part of the game can be pretty lacking - The entire game probably could've had the same impact as an interactive story or something. The puzzles and stuff you can do outside of the more interesting boss battles are pretty lacking, especially after you beat the game once.
The great soundtrack makes up for it though.
>>321806585
Infamous 2 has polar opposite endings but there isn't as much attention to little details.

It is, I don't know why but people always wants to feel unique hating things like popular videogames or popular music just cuz it succeeds, I loved the game desu and im not like the 80% fanbase who will never find any defects, and it will be the mos brilliant game for thousands of years but its worth the feelings.
>>321802390
It's great and you just might fall in love with it if you give it a chance. OST is fucking great as well.
/v/ hates it because it's supposed to, so don't be mad at people that want to fit in, just ignore them.
>>321802390
It's incredibly easy to pirate, the game was crowdfunded so it's not like the dev NEEDS the money, and even if you do like the game paying for it amounts to nothing since the dev said he won't make sequels. I'd say just pirate it.
It has a very original battle system marred by how scripted and repetitive it is. You have the choice to kill everything, kill nothing or do something in between (even though the game beats you over the head with how killing nothing is the right thing to do), but the problem is that in any path you'll repeat the exact same stuff over and over. Other turn-based RPGs at least randomize attacks and let you custumize your turns and party, Undertale locks you into the same patterns for every monster type and it gets boring really fast.
The saving grace is how it plays with the "meta" elements of you playing a videogame and the story. However the story being interesting hinges COMPLETELY on you liking the characters and the writing. The entire game is mostly quirky and humorous, but quirk and humor is subjective. It may be too much for you, or not hit the right note. So the story being effective for YOU is kind of a gamble. If it hits the right note you'll love it, if it comes short you'll get bored easily.
Either way it's interesting. I had to force myself to finish it though as I didn't find the writing engaging in the least and the battle system falls short of what could have been done. Only consistently cool things are bosses, but they're extremely limited in number (there's like five in the entire game) and all of them are completely scripted. So replay value, while encouraged by the meta elements, is also limited by how much you're invested in the story and writing.
So yeah liking this or not is highly subjective because its defining and only hook is the humor and writing. Just pirate it and if you reeeeaaally like it buy it afterward.
>>321802390
It's a unique experience that hasn't really been done before, or at least in a long time. It takes full advantage of the fact that it's a PC game and the lore goes places you would not expect.
Choices matter a fuck-load. You'll experience different dialogue, bossfights, music, endings, items, areas, characters, enemies depending on your decisions in the game.
It's also pretty funny. if You can succeed through the power of friendship, or murder every single one of your friends.
Definitely worth 8 dollars. People are calling it FotM. I've been waiting for this game for years and it fulfilled all my expectations. Interesting combat system, changes through playthroughs, no enemy clones (as in you fight the same enemy later in the game with a different color scheme), interesting writing, unique and catchy music with every boss. And if you end up hating the characters, you can run through killing all of them one by one and the game is completely accommodating for that. Top critic score, with a 97.92% approval rating through steam. There's a chance you won't like it, but probably you will. The graphics suck and there aren't really any side quests, but there's a demo out made of the most boring part of the game so you can test it out for yourself.
no amount of money is worth associating yourself with these undershits 2bh.
pirate and play, stop making these threads.

>>321808730
>So replay value, while encouraged by the meta elements,
Actually the game outright tells you to fuck off and go play something else after you beat it, or at least it does after you get the pacifist ending. It'll let you reset of course but first it'll beg you not to ruin the experience for yourself and play through it twice just because it's an option to do so.
Otherwise 10/10 review, best opinion in the thread.

It's 8 dollars for a cute and pretty funny RPG, if you don't like it just refund it.
Now that it's gotten popular /v/ will tell you it's shit though, I remember when the demo came out and everyone was hyped about the release.
>>321802390
Gameplay was fine, music great, dialogue funny, characters either shallow, fucking obnoxious or both. Doesn't help that the most obnoxious character seem to have the most lines in the game, despite entering the game so late. Game had some good bossfights aswell. I found the story bad aswell as the twists and 4th wall breaking.
7.5/10, top 3 goty material, aswell as most overrated game of the year.

Bought it a few hours ago, just finished it. Found it to be pretty generic up until the very last 15 minutes of the game. Writing and music were above average but obviously graphics and gameplay subpar. Definitely not worth the hype and honestly I wouldn't buy it again for over 5 dollars.

>>321802390
I played the demo, but I couldn't help cringe throughout the entirety of it because it felt like it was written and deigned by a Furry.
>>321802390
It's $10, currently on sale for $8. And if you're still not sure, just pirate it.
It's absolutely not game of the year. I liked it, but I liked it because it was good relative to $10 games with a $50,000 budget. If it had been released for even $30 like so many indy FotM games seem to be, it would've been shit on. If you have $10 to toss away, go for it. Or pirate it. Who cares.

>>321811757
Linear, 6 or 8 hours of gameplay max for one playthrough, both the community and the game itself discourage you from obtaining other endings besides muh true pacifist, Hard Mode isn't completed.
All for $10.
No, it's not worth it. Save your money and go watch some faggot play it on youtube instead. That's how poorfag fans "play" it anyways.
>>321802946
The graphics are really hit or miss with this game, sometimes, you'll have some acceptable pixel-art, like outside of the houses in Snowdin but most of Undertale's pixel art is poor. You have to ask why he didn't go back and redo all the pixel art that needed to be redone.
It's all based on your thoughts on what is fun. The game itself has some very unique and fun moments, but it will only be entertaining if you're into it's content. I recommend you play the demo on the Undertale website to see if you are into the type of game-play. If so then it IS worth it.
>>321810105
It's basically a quirky movie. Kind of like spirited away. You get this sense that there is this looming threat and your in another world with monsters that are trying to killing you.
I never felt like they were my friends until the papyrus dating bits. Even then everyone was trying to take the humans soul.
Playing the game blind was a 10/10 experience.

Not really. The same characters will all fight you in a pure pacifist route. The only difference is sans. And he should've have done something after you killed papyrus, not long after you literally murdered everything you came across and are right about to meet asgore.
The story and routes are pretty shit if you think about it. What keeps the game going are the characters, but they're also hit or miss depending on the player.

>>321802390

>>321813919
It's a kind of game where being short works in its favor because there's little repetition. Each individual enemy has their own separate attack patterns and designs, and the game isn't padded out to the point where it overstays its welcom. It's kinda like Portal in that respect.
>>321814517
>And he should've have done something after you killed papyrus, not long after you literally murdered everything you came across and are right about to meet asgore.
Read his dialogue during his battle. He knows all the timelines will be reset anyway, and the only reason he intervenes when he does is because that's the point of no return where all of the timelines will be eradicated unless he can frustrate you enough to reset. Which is completely true; the moment you step into the throne room you lose all control save for Esc. So if you do kill Papyrus, he's pissed off at you but knows there's no point doing anything since you'll reset as long as it's not a genocide route.
>>321809239
>no enemy clones (as in you fight the same enemy later in the game with a different color scheme)
But there are.
>>321815039
But why didn't he try to do all of this earlier when you were weaker? He just watches you kill everyone until the last possible moment. Even if he doesn't know you might spare a single monster later on and botch a full genocide run, would that really be worth the risk to him? People say he's apathetic and removed from what's happening because he knows about timelines and resets, but it's not like he actually remembers experiencing anything other than the timeline he's currently a part of. Why would he not want to protect that until the very end, and when you've become strong enough to beat him?
If I recall correctly, the only reason he doesn't outright kill you the moment you meet in order to not take any chances is because of his promise to Toriel. Is killing his brother not enough of a reason to have him break that promise?
>>321816140
I think it's because he believes that you'll have a change of heart, but when he finally confronts you he knows it's too late and that Chara will erase the world.
>>321816140
>But why didn't he try to do all of this earlier when you were weaker?
Because he literally waits until the last moment. Up until you kill Mettaton, there's always the chance that you'll end up in a neutral run.
>>321816319
>>321816403
Why give them chances when he knows he could just force them to reset before it's too late if they start to show any serious signs of aggression? It would even make his job easier since you won't be able to put up much of a fight.
>>321817084
Because Sans is a lazy asshole undergoing an existential crisis. That, and he thought the "anomaly" was just unhappy and needed good food, bad laughs, and nice friends to be pacified. Even if he himself doesn't remember the timelines, he does the anomaly does and any little thing could help encourage the anomaly to reset and choose a better path.
>>321802946
All the bad you mentioned was subjective and dosent count

How about you buy it, play it, and formulate your own opinions, you mindless fuck.
I like rpgs but hate bullet hells so I never did try Undertale. Apparently it gets preachy or judgey if you play it like an rpg I heard.
It's a $7 game with 6~10 hours of content. You can always play the first 2 hours and refund it if you don't enjoy the style of humor or characters the game uses.

yes and no. The fanbase is fucking garbage. The game itself is a solid 8/10 with a 10/10 soundtrack.
Your either going to play it once or twice.
If you have absolutely no idea what it is about then the experience should be well worth 10 bucks.
Otherwise I would recommend either getting just for a few dollars or just outright pirating it.
