What do you guys think the reason is LISA not reaching a bigger following yet?

I mean, Undertale was a great Indie game too, but really LISA deserved just as much attention, if not more, than Undertale.

It really deserves more acclaim.

The story is creepy and depressing, it's only goal is to make you feel crappy and it does a great job at it. Undertale has sad stuff in it but it's optimistic, "it fills you with determination". People like to feel good, so the games with happy endings are liked by more people, compared to LISA where everyone dies and everyone has problems.
LISA's idea of funny is climbing up a rope for 2 minutes to see a middle finger, undertales idea of funny is petting a dog and confusing it.
They both have pretty damn good soundtracks though, I'd give the edge to LISA there though since it sounds a lot more varied and hits better moods.
I guess the last point is that you actually kinda have to piece together the story of LISA, lots of critical information for the story is hidden in different endings or up to the player to put together. Undertale hands you the story on a silver platter, it's easy to digest and requires no discussion

And there's even less backstory to discuss in LISA since The Joyful just throws the answers at you in the most unceremonious, unsatisfactory way. Yado's just a mad scientist. Lisa fucked up Buzzo. Everything else was answered in Painful. Everyone's fucked forever. The end.

Undertale was a light hearted humor game based around the meta of game mechanics, even with it's genocide route.

LISA is a more dark humored (but still silly) game that plays its story straight. That story is about a guy in a post apocalyptic world trying to prevent an 11 year old girl from being used for breeding and he's in the wrong for doing so.
>>
>>324185938
>As opposed to... fake gay?
Yes. The men in LISA fuck dudes in wigs because there are no women left on Earth, not because they're gay. It was meant to show that the world is a shitty, miserable place, not to go "Look at how progressive I am with my LGBTQABC123KFC characters."

Painful should have multiple story paths depending if you take Joy or not, if you managed to kill Buzzo or not and if you spared Sticky. The game prizes itself on the element of choice but there is none: just one ending despite what people say and additional dialogue *without* video depending if you didn't take Joy. Every choice you make matters nothing, it's all blamed on "Brad is tripping on drugs lmao".

Joyful has interesting new gameplay mechanics but that's it. The story is atrocious and unneeded and Buddy was turned on the worst character in the entire franchise. In my opinion, it should be a prequel about Rando rising in power, perhaps fighting the same warlords present in the game to become the major army we see on Painful.

Combat sucks and the difficulty is ramped up quite a bit, they obviously want you to die

its easy to get lost and head into an area youre really not suppose to and get wrecked

theres some mechanics some people would find cheap like resting at a camp is dangerous (get poison, kidnapped party member, stolen items) and losing a fight and losing all your mags.

Losing party members sucks when you actually like them and put work into them.

I really liked the story though, enough for me to finish it.

Although this is true, Undertale didn't do anything exceptional with it's gameplay either.

LISA had cheap difficulty, Undertale was easy and didn't punish you at all for failure. And don't you try and argue Undertale had hard moments, it's peak difficulty was two bosses on the route no one takes.

but for the most part the game gives you a choice, either sacrifice something yourself or a party member.

The only time it's complete bullshit is during the Russian Roulette part, since it's complete RNG and can fuck you over easily. The first playthrough i had, i lost literally every one of my party members. But the second time around i made it through without losing a single one.

Undertale's mechanics change with every bossfight into something unique and memorable. Like, the mob fights might be generic as fuck, but when it comes to bosses, Undertale goes from bullet-hell to platformer to shooter and then combines those elements into something great.

Lisa is just the default RPG maker battle system with the only thing "unique" being Cyberdwarf-esque dial-a-combos.

So what? LISA isn't challenging either it's just punishing and cheap. It's like comparing SMT IV to Soul Hackers or Strange Journey, SMT IV isn't really a hard game it's "boy I hope this enemy doesn't just instantly game over me because of RNG"

But it DID do something exceptional with its gameplay, the point you were arguing against in your own post. It employed various, ever-changing mechanics to its combat that no other RPG has done, while LISA is the barebones default RPG Maker combat system.

Lisa isn't hard, either. The most difficult moments come from RNG instant-deaths. Even in The Joyful, an expansion banking solely on the combat, all you had to do was flash and spam a single knife lunge attack throughout the entire game, occasionally popping a Joy when you're sick of doing low damage.

A turn based battle system with a bullet hell dodge mechanic isn't revolutionary. Especially if it's easy, and no, the way it changes with boss fights isn't that impressive.

I never said Lisa was revolutionary either, what won it over for me was the atmosphere and to a lesser extent the story. I would argue that Lisa had harder moments than Undertale. The first joy mutant is miles harder than Toriel.

I didn't say revolutionary. You didn't say revolutionary. The word used was "exceptional". Definition: Unusual. Not typical. Undertale's battle system is "exceptional". Undertale's battle system isn't typical, while LISA is the most typical RPG battle system ever implemented. Undertale is unique in its mechanics, whereas LISA is not. Whether Undertale's combat is "revolutionary" is completely up to the future if people want to start copying Undertale's battle system.

Well that's kinda true.

meme
noun

"an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation."
>>
Which are your favourite Painful/Joyful bosses?
>>
I thought "memegame" is a game that got famous through viral exposition, even if it sucks, like Slender or that bike game that was famous a while ago.
>>
>>324188981
This is a fact. Earthbound had no memorable characters, everyone was a Mary Sue. The thing that made it memorable was the little substories it told and the atmsophere of the game.

Undertale is more Comparable to Mother3. Reliance on characters and story over gameplay and atmosphere.

Unless the store page specifically mentions your choices affecting the story, which is what you complained about, you're still wrong.
>>
>>324189241
My point is everyone should stop using the term "meme" all the time. It makes all discussions turn to shit.

How is permanently affecting towns, characters and life not affecting the story?

If the choices don't matter, why even advertise them?

>>324189323

It doesn't mean anything, people have been using "meme" to mean "thing I don't like" for years
>>
I feel good not knowing any of these "gamers", youtubers, e-celebs referenced on Lisa and sad that so many seem to know them. Didn't know any of these faggots were famous until I opened /v/ after finishing the game, which was a good thing since I'd be angry all the time seeing attention-whores getting attention.

The only references I got on Painful were "Praise the Sun" and "I like big butts, they don't lie", none of which are particularly bothersome.
>>
>>324189326
>Mother3. Reliance on characters and story over gameplay and atmosphere.
Mother3 had way more compelling gameplay than the snoozefest that was Earthbound though. EB is genuinely a chore to play though, M3 on the other hand is tolerable even during the more tedious and grindy sections because of the rhythmic combo system.
>>
>>324189189

Holy semantics Batman!
>>
>>324189189
I was more refering to this definition of Exceptional:
>unusually excellent; superior.
I was referring to the fact that Undertale's gamplay was as challenging and fun as baking a potato in a microwave. Considering I've played better games with better gameplay, I wouldn't really call Undertale's gamplay "exceptional". Unique and unsual? Maybe, exceptional and excellent? No.

Now stop being a faggot and stop nitpicking people's word choices.

>permanently affecting towns, characters and life

Your choices do affect characters, and towns. It never stated to which degree, nor that it was in relation to the story itself, the "life" part is purposefully left up to interpretation.

>>324189696
Joyful had the best bosses. Shame about everything else.
>>
>>324184297
i played around two hours, the open worldish gameplay didn't appeal to me enough to continue, the combat was not fun fso i didn't want to bother exploring anymore.

Played undertale around october, didn't know or it wasn't that popular yet.

I became aware of both games because of you guys.

I liked Lardy for his Dual Wielded AK47s and he felt like a nice ending to the Hernandez saga.

As mediocre as Joyful was it had a lot of really good bosses.

>>324189326
No memorable characters? Not Andonuts or Brick Road? Or Pokey? The Runaway Five? Frank?

Frank got just about as much exposure as the spider girl in Undertale did.

>>324189772
I'm not saying it didn't have improved gameplay, but I am saying it took the emphasis off gameplay and put it more onto progressing the story.

>>324184297
Not really a game to appeal that widely to reach that height.

Comparisons to undertale aren't invalid but undertale did have a larger appeal and a more palatable story, so the comparison isn't really a 1:1 thing.

I like Lisa a lot better but it was certainly very rough around the edges both thematically and gameplay wise, Undertale was super polished.

Looking forward to the next projects of both devs from the two games.

>>324184949
Are you the same person who always brings that film into these threads? I really don't see the comparison, having seen the film.Film's interesting though, really liked the concept but it's second half is all lover the place, ending was awesome though.

the game isn't fun to pay. the pace is absolutely trudging and the combat just isn't enjoyable whatsoever.

Although LISA affected me more than Undertale I too can't wait to see what these devs do next.

Undertale got popular because it had a positive message to it and was generally lighthearted.
LISA is a silly game but with a lot of dark tones and a lot of things set in place to make the player feel uncomfortable and unhappy. It is also pessimistic and bleak

People did not default to Genocide route for Undertale

I like both but this is a big part in why LISA is not as popular.

This could be one reason: the soundtrack of LISA, albeit very unique and experimental, is not attractive to most people. Only a few of the songs are normal enough for the standard person.
>>
>>324195994
Hmm, that raises an idea...
Subject people to increasingly stranger music until they give up, putting up monetary incentive based on how far they take it.
>Throw in the entire vocal adaptation of My Immortal in the middle of several Lisa songs
>>
>>324196264
What is your hypothesis for that?
>>
>>324196503
The average person would give up about 1/3 through My Immortal, with an upper limit around white noise dispersed with sounds of anacondas striking and a lower limit of first Lisa song.
And also,

>>324195994
The song are really hit-or-miss. As a whole they're not as consistently good or solid as Undertale's OST, but the weird shit much more interesting.

Mother 3 is the worst game in the series, do you have brain damage?
>>
>>324187035
All 3 are good the fanbases vary though

Undertale's fanbase is as bad if not worse than Sonic's

LISA's is half shit half good, but the majority of the good people have moved on by now.

Nuclear Throne's is pretty good if you can excuse everyone telling you to git gud or dodge if your shit at the game

Of course Risk of Rain's Fanbase is the best though

The theme of Lisa is enjoyed by a niche crowd, even the way people talk has a certain feel to it.

>>324184297

Lisa is much more gritty and more about the relationships of a handful of, by some measures, unlikable characters while Undertale is more about player choices/consequences with tropetastic, non-heteronormative characters.

LISA is certainly not generic. Its story was very deep and dark while still managing to be humorous. Your choices actually have a massive impact on not only the story, but the gameplay mechanics as well.

There are some truly fantastic songs in LISA but you can kind of tell they're the guys first songs and nothing really sticks like UT's.

Combat is good, but nothing too new or interesting. Especially in Joyful. Undertale outside 2 bosses is never really out to kill you but the combat mechanics are things that haven't really been done before.

One is really dark and in Joyful just straight up edgelord material while Undertale is a lot softer for the most part.

There's more like platforming and the like being dumb in LISA but ultimately Undertale is just better made like it or not. They're both fun and I don't mind suggesting LISA to friends but if I had to pick one or another it would be UT.
