Wouldn't frisk be for genocide season and Chara be for pacifist season?

When the praise combined with the veracity of the fanbase vastly exceeds its apparent quality

Meme is now just a place holder word for an insult reddit and 9gag still hasn't added to their vocabulary.

>>321837270
Bad jokes that make up the majority of the game's content.

A game that's only really popular for being popular. It's a 7/10 at best but the fags who love it act like it's the pinnacle of gaming that every true gamer MUST play and they constantly circlejerk around it. Examples include:

Skyrim
Fallout 3 and newer
CS Series
Undertale
Dark Souls

Dont blame the game for your shitty internet

Funny thing is that the game create memes not recycle them. I think shitposters on 4chan is just jealous that the game can actually last where meanwhile literally everybody know that Vegeta originally said 8000 and not 9000, frogposting is now a shitty thing, normal cartoons use the word feels instead of the word feeling and so on. The game simply outdid them by creating memes without having to be posted repeatedly to actually become one.

Basically

I wonder how many shitposters I just pissed off but they can't say anything without admitting they are shitposters.

>>321837994
but how is that the game's fault?

How would a developer try and prevent their game from being labeled a "meme game" by you?
>>
It's a retarded word for a game that is popular because of a bandwagon or some other retarded reason.
>>
>>321838290
It's not their fault and there's nothing they can do about it. Just like if everyone decided to call you a pedophile there's nothing you can do to disprove it.
>>
>>321837994
>Skyrim
That's popular for its modding scene (non-sex mods are more popular than sex mods). You want to make a difficult dungeon crawler? That's mods for that. You want a survival game of hunting and dealing with the elements? You want a pornography game? There's a mod for that.

And for the survival mods, most of these mods get the appeal more than most survival games out there. Mix that in with most of the content mods out there adding in 3 dlcs containing islands that equal Skyrim's size and in some cases have better world design, and you've got more content than any AAA release ever will.

It's popular and a moron hates it. Since quality is subjective, a moron will consider what they like to be objectively good. The moron will thus not understand that other people are capable of liking things that the moron does not like. In response, the moron will think that a game is only popular because it's popular, which is an impossibility, and call something a meme game.

When people say meme now they mean fad.

Only time will tell if Undertale really is a great and timeless game or not.
>>
>>321839701
this
>>
>>321839701
By this definition, there are more meme games than not because the list of truly timeless classics is really short. So if this is the definition being used, is being a "meme game" actually a bad thing?
>>
>>321837994
This is the only good definition I've ever heard. I agree but not sure about putting Dark Souls and CS on it. Would fit Earthbound and Bioshock Infinite though
>>
It's fanbase being autistic

too bad none of those mods are good

undertale is a meme game because of its inclusion of internet memes and reliance on referential humor
>>
Pixel shit

>>321837994
Hold right there anon. Counter Strike is an awesome game and deserve a little more than 7/10. you might not enjoy it cause u r a friendless faggot
>>
>>321841583
It has no memes in it
Confirmed for not playing the game
>>
>>321841583
No, Undertale is a meme game because we turned it into one.

Self-fulfilling prophecy etc.

/v/ not liking it and wanting an easy insult.
>>
>>321841583
Referential humor exists in literally any game with at least some small amount of comedy. Human culture is built on referencing old material in a fresh way; that's how the original definition of the word "meme" got its start.
>>
>>321841885
It created its own memes and that is unforgivable.
>>
its when a disconnect arises between the idea of the game and the game itself
undertale the concept and undertale the actual game have little to do with each other at this point
>>
/v/ has a weird track record.
It can call a game shit and be right about 50% of the time.
I think undertale falls into the side that /v/ is wrong about.
I went into it, trying to hate it. It is not the greatest game ever. There was nothing spectacular about it, but for ten dollars i got my moneys worth of enjoyment.
I got a few chuckles, didnt see any memes.
At some points the blatant faggotry was a little bit cringy, but even it was played mostly for laughs.
I found myself thinking the over muscled faggot ice cream knights were even a bit endearing.

The music was good. The gameplay was fun and at times challenging.

I think Undertale is an example of a shitty fanbase and /v/'s general desire to be contrarian.
Both faggots are so annoying that i feel guilty liking this game.

Its minecraft all over again.
>notch posts minecraft prototype on /v/

What chu' talkin' bout' wilis?
Stupid shit gets popular for no reason all the time. It doesn't really have to be good, it just has to spread around enough.
>>
>A game that is popular but I don't like it so I'm going to shitpost

It's really not even that hard to avoid these things so I can't even file it under "sick of seeing it", it's really just people who can't accept that something they don't personally care about is the current object of affection.
>>
>>321842530
This anon gets it.
It's a good game, not goty good, but for indie, it's good. It's just that /v/ and the fanbase cause such a shitstorm over it.
Play it if you want, but if you don't, that's okay.

Pretty much this.
Just beat it today, and while it was worth it for $8, I hate how the fanbase is avidly praising it as the greatest game ever and I also hate shitposters saying it's a "meme game".
/v/ can only say games are great or shit. And usually they say they're shit.

Nah frisk gets taken over by chara in genocide it's step one of his master plan

Frisk going pacifist or neutral negates charas influence

Anything you don't like and don't want to play to find out if it's actually bad
