Ok, I want to try to make this thread early enough in the day so that most of the underaged kids on this board wont see it.
Is anyone else immensely disappointed in the reaction 4chan had to this game? I know, I get it, "/v/ is not one person" But you have to agree that the great majority of people willing to post on this board immediately dismiss this game. Every single Undertale thread on this board has been complete and utter shit. It will devolve into a shitposting mess 100% of the time, regardless of how many people want a genuine discussion.
I say I am disappointed because I am one of those people who wants to genuinely discuss the game. As much as /v/ sucks typically, when you want a good discussion about the more personal elements of a game, /v/ is perfect. I thought that Undertale would be perfect for that kind of discussion, but the fact of the matter is that, in the current climate, it will not happen.
>>324240503
this happens to everything that gets popular
Underfell is fucking shit and puts a real disgrace to the UT fandom
>not doing the thread at midnight
You know what's REALLY awful?
Watching Dragon's Dogma falling to the same shitposting. Most of the threads of full of dumb fuckery about how overrated or how it's unfair and too hard.
It's unbelievable. Like you can't even discuss HL2 on /v/ now without a giant brigade of shitposters loudly reminding everyone that it was overrated and a shit game.
Undertale is cynically crafted shit for streamers, feels chasers, video game reviewers, and retards. Fuck off.
It is to be expected when millions of fucking absolute morons shill it hard right up our asses.
I still like the game though.
Discussion was had and completely stamped out in the first week or so of release.
There's nothing else to discuss until Toby's 'bugfixes'.
It was fun while it was ironic shitposting.
>>324240503
This happened because of the gamefags poll.
Threadly reminder that we had MUH TORIEL threads for weeks before this shit turned mainstream and started earning awards.
>>324240560
Not everything. Witcher 3 tended to have excellent discussion ever since its launch, as long as you avoided talking about graphics.
Most Nintendo titles have excellent discussion at all times.
I know what you are saying though. I just fear that the backlash toward Undertale is more extreme than we typically see.
Another meta essay that would be better off on /qa/
It's popular, that's how popularity works, the thing explodes with discussion and the same braindead contrarians will swarm to fling shit in order to get the (You)s from the naive idiots who were too charmed by the game to tell genuine criticism from shitposting
>>324240503
Its just a bunch of motherfags being jelly about Toby being a better writer than shitoi.
>>324240664
There was a ton of hate even before that.
>>324240608
Agreed.
because there's nothing to discuss, and if the thread doesn't devolve into shitposting it devolves into tumblr fanart dumps and 'i want to fuck the goat/spider/ghost'
if you want to discuss the game go do it on tumblr, or better yet
>>>/vg/utg
>>324240503
It devolves into shitposting because it's a shit game.
If you're honestly surprised at /v/'s general reaction to Undertail, I'd say you've not been on this board very long.
>>324240713
who do you think are the ones making these threads? The Suppressed undertale fans on /v/? nope, they all migrated to /utg/ by now.
>>324240676
Witcher 3 was shitposted into the ground for it's entire pre-release over the graphics downgrade. Don't just say 'avoided the graphics', it was inevitably brought up in every thread.
The only games that can actually operate here without endless shitposting is Nintendo stuff, mostly because I'm guessing people outside of that particular little cult don't care enough to talk about it.
Here's the deal - splitting /v/ into /vr/ and /vg/ was a horrible fucking decision, same as creating /r9k/. Moot made fucking bad decisions, can we agree to that?
The problem is, all the actual discussion of a game post release migrated to /vg/, where the smaller base turned it into a weird, impenetrable circle jerk of waifu posting where nothing ever gets cleaned out. /vr/ funneled away all the oldfags who actually have been playing games before the Xbox360.
/v/ should be renamed 'Pre-release Hype and Shitpost Containment'.
>>324240760
>telling people to go visit goat fucker central
I hang out there and even I wouldn't inflect that horror on others.
>>324240503
The discussion was good the first two weeks. Do that's good enough to me
>>324240503
Yeah it is sad but then /v/ is no loger about video games it is about complaining and being a faggot.
But i like the game for what it was set out to do and i never did the genocide run since i loved the characters to much. And it made me feel really good when i did save everybody, it has been i while since i felt really good after playing a game.
And the dating with Papyrus was really cute.
>>324240676
>Witcher 3 tended to have excellent discussion ever since its launch
what did you smoke ? I remember specifically going to /vg/ to have a more tame discussion, everything on /v/ was "MUH DOWNGRADE"
the guy is right, anything that is popular enough is the perfect bait target for the occasional shitpost, but when you have a board as big as /v/, the occasional shitpost of 5% of the board's population means every popular game gets trashed
Guaranteed replies.png
>>324240875
S-some people bought the game only during Christmas and maybe want to discuss it now..
>>324240895
>fell for the feelsbait
undermemers are the biggest faggots of all time
>>324240760
That thread is the next Katawa Shoujo general, mark my words
>>324240624
Definitely. It is amazing how many games are labeled on /v/ as completely irredeemable, despite the fact that these games are objectively good games. I hate to use this term, but I believe hivemind mentality is extremely real here, and has been stronger than ever.
>>324240649
>I still like the game though.
Then go ahead and talk about it, what about the game do you enjoy? Has anything really stood out in the game that you really enjoy?
>>324240713
This is an over-simplistic view and accomplishes nothing.
>>324240734
I doubt most of the people praising Earthbound have even played it all the way through, especially on this board.
>>324240943
Every fucking /vg/ thread is like that.
Have you seen the Skyrim general? These people all know each other from their in-game avatars, it's fucking creepy dude.
/vg/ is probably THE most incestuous and insular board.
The structure of how /vg/ works - encouraging long, LOOOOONG recurring threads about a single topic just breeds weird circlejerking. It'd be better if it was never broken off from /v/ and instead moderators actually just clamped down on obvious generals.
It was fucking boring, what more is there to say?
it's full of pompous white boy humor
>>324240942
>You are not allowed to have fun your own way.
>>324240952
>This is an over-simplistic view and accomplishes nothing
It's a correct view in a meta thread that will accomplish nothing but allowing a handful of anons to vent about how they can't talk about a game they like.
In reality, there were, are and will be many opportunities to talk about this game on /v/ when you stop replying to people who post purely to get replies.
>>324240503
On average the more popular something is, the more it'll draw trolls to it. Trolls and shitposters in general seem to target whatever has the most popularity or threads at the moment. Hell, even less popular stuff gets shitposted into oblivion most of the time.
Getting genuine discussion on /v/ for any amount of time is practically a miracle. That said if you want discussion, you might be able to swing it on /vg/ at least.
>>324241080
>not even trying to hide the tumblr
undershit, this is your mindset
>>324241147
>>324240760
Come on man, you've been on /vg/ before, you know how shitty it is for any type of real discussion. Quit using that board as a set piece for your arguments.
>>324240805
Guarantee you I've been on this board longer than you have.
>>324240830
>Here's the deal - splitting /v/ into /vr/ and /vg/ was a horrible fucking decision, same as creating /r9k/. Moot made fucking bad decisions, can we agree to that?
I completely agree with this. Definitely. Again, I really hate to use this term, but we lost all of our board culture because of this shit.
>The problem is, all the actual discussion of a game post release migrated to /vg/, where the smaller base turned it into a weird, impenetrable circle jerk of waifu posting where nothing ever gets cleaned out. /vr/ funneled away all the oldfags who actually have been playing games before the Xbox360.
Again, spot on. However, because it is early in the morning in America, and most shitposters are American (do we really even need to question this?), I thought that I could stir up a decent discussion, not necessarily on Undertale, but maybe about the topic we are presently talking about.
>>324240952
I was literally blown away on my first playthru since I had low expectations.
Now I see a much broader perspective of the game, and the community itself.
Thanks /v/.
The part of the game that I actually liked the most is the date with Papyrus. The music reminded me of Ace Attorney. Geezus those memories.
>popular
>pop culture references
>zany humour
>anthropomorphic characters
It's easy to see why /v/ would have a hate boner for this game. The fact that it's actually not a bad game causes it to also be posted too often, couple this with the false flag posts and people quickly start to blur the lines of UT fans and bait and get sick of it in general.
The pushing and botting of the game to win Gamefaqs game of all time also caused a severe amount of butthurt amongst fans of genuinely better gamesand Smash, which caused even more hatred towards it.
>>324240895
I'm kinda curious about this. What is it about the characters that you love so much? I've played through the game on true pacifist already and while the characters are amusing, they don't seem to be anything special to prevent a run through.
That said, the Genocide path kinda seems a bit bland in my opinion and the few real fights are stupidly hard.
>>324240942
>scars on hand and not on wrist
wow it's not even a potential suicide "victim" just people looking for attention
>>324241213
>Guarantee you I've been on this board longer than you have.
If that is the case and you're still legitimately surprised by this, then you're an idiot. While you could've been forgiven for being ignorant if you were new, if you claim you've been here a long time then there's no other explanation.
>waah people who don't like my game are shitting on it
Cry me a river, if you want a circlejerk go make a general on /vg/ you beta fucks
>>324240503
>disappointed in /v/
but anon, that implies you had faith in this board. that also implies this board is worth anything at all.
and not to mention, you actually expect discussion on this god-forsaken containment board.
the amount of replies each thread gets is just confirmation that the majority of /v/ loves to shitpost about games rather than play them.
if you want actual game discussion, go to reddit. you get less flame wars, but more unironic meme posting.
there's a reason they call 4chan and reddit "two sides of the same coin". same applies to tumblr.
>>324240895
>But i like the game for what it was set out to do and i never did the genocide run since i loved the characters to much. And it made me feel really good when i did save everybody, it has been i while since i felt really good after playing a game.
Completely know what you're feeling with that. It brought back that childish feeling of believe that you were really interacting with a world inside of your game (because you were!). I have yet to see a modern game pull that off.
>>324240503
>Every single Undertale thread on this board has been complete and utter shit. It will devolve into a shitposting mess 100% of the time, regardless of how many people want a genuine
Not in the first 2 weeks

We already discussed everything except for muh deep lore
Should've jumped on the bandwagon earlier, OP
First two weeks were godlike and as soon as teh metacritic score came out it was clear as day that further threads will be shitposted to death.
I literally don't care for this game anymore and hearing it everywhere annoys me
>>324241357
they already have one they refuse to use.
it's fucking bronies all over again
Ever noticed how anything tumblr likes have the fucking awful fanbase?
>>324240503
I just want to fuck asriel, frisk and monster kid.
>>324241010
Fuck me for actually caring about another poster.
>>324241040
Yep, I have no idea how /vg/ could fall so far, I mean this is 4chan we are talking about. Yet, posters there are no worse than tumblr or reddit. Ever since we started catering to phaggots we let 4chan fall down a terrible cliff.
>>324241398
>that image
Why would you have this saved?
We definitely need a new board called /nv/ - Not Vidya where people can jerk off over all these 'feelsgames' and interactive movies
>>324240503
it's a meme you newfriend, that's how /v/ works.
When it just came out everyone loved it, after it shat on mgs5 and became one of the most loved games ever with 5 thread for hour then everyone on /v/ went full autistic and hateful.
This said: >>>/vg/128850889
>>324240624

HL2 really is shit
>>324241470
>UT general
He's already bitched about how there's no "actual discussion" on /vg/.
>>324241225
You have two choices man.
1. Accept the opinions of those around you. Assimilate these into your own identity.
2. Not give a shit what a bunch of outcast freaks on an anime imageboard think, and keep on enjoying the shit out of your game/life.
>>324241398
The people that make threads about undertale on /v/ aren't typically people who like it.
it's usually idiots shitposting about how it's part of the sjw marketing conspiracy or it's the next mlp
If anything, there should be an undertale shitposting thread on /vg/ for these people to flock to.
Take a dive into the mind of the average 4chan user and you will never be surprised by their behavior again.
Most people base their judgement of a thing on what other people think. Band-wagoners. The 4chan user, on the other hand, is unsure about his own value. So his main objective is to prove himself better than the rabble. This means that his judgement is still based on what others think, but they take the opposite position.
In other words, they are contrarians. The more popular they perceive something to be, the more they loathe it. I guess all people with taste did this in junior high or whatever, but eventually learned to think clearly about what we actually enjoy, and judge things based on that. Most 4channers simply haven't learned that.
>>324241330
Not really, you have no clue what this board was like in the past. Back when some shitty foxnews video was as famous as this place ever got.
>>324241147
I use Tumblr all the time to follow drawfags and look at porn.
>>324241469
While we're at it, let's put tangentially related bullshit like drawthreads there too.
Threads that don't specifically pertain to one or several video games shouldn't be on the video games board.
>>324240503
The game is pink-haired sheltered infantile bullshit. What do you want from us anon?
>>324241398
>>324240503
>>324240560
I don't know where you've been living and how big a rock your house has been for the past year, but there's been a LOT of discussion on UT's merits and faults in pretty much every thread.
Sure, the shitpost ratio is 10:1 or higher, but there's still people who discuss the game precisely because there's always a special snowflake like the OP who feels disenfranchised by the amount of hate their precious little game is getting and so they keep on harping on and on and on about how unfair it is that UT is getting shat on so much.
We get it. You like it. It's not a bad game. It's a solid 6/10 with sparks of briliance in between. However, there's parts where the game is a chore to chug through the endless inane and Tumblr culture jokes and the music is the only thing that allows the game to not be complete shit for chapters at a time.
So, in sumation: Me and a lot of anons are sick and tired of you faggots not shutting the fuck up about how disenfranchised you are because X game you like is being shitposted to death.
>>324241673
u kinda just described all video games my man.
>>324241362
The more obscure subreddits have usually too low a population to have any decent discussion.
>>324241608
You're forgetting people who just shitpost for the sake of shitposting. They can be people who don't give a damn or don't even believe in the crap they're spewing. They just want a rise out of people. That is the majority of what you see on /v/ especially.
>>324240639
This for fuck's sake. I'd tell OP to go back to Reddit, but I think it's more appropriate to tell him to go back to fucking Youtube, Buzzfeed or some shit.
>>324241653
So what you're actually saying is you're surprised at how this board isn't the same as it used to be?I.e. Idiot

Everyone says that, but I honestly don't believe it. Everyone is perpetually irritated and snippy and obnoxious here, so much that trolling is virtually impossible. Trolling is only fun when people are affected by it in some way.
No, I really just think there a lot of dumb, loud people spewing their opinions as loud as they can.
>>324240952
>I doubt most of the people praising Earthbound have even played it all the way through, especially on this board.
That's a scary thought.
>>324240915
Are those real terms? I know about bisexuality, but all that shit... Do made that shit up didn't you?
Are you for real in the US? How fucking brain damaged is your society?
>>324241564
I already did both. It's fine if people here hate this game because of this reason or another.
If I still smile seeing that damned fat skeleton pour ketchup on my burger, or watch that long-necked dog reach the fucking heavens, then all is good I guess.
>>324241852
I've been guilty of calling Undertale SJW propaganda on slower /v/ days because it guarantees at least 6/7 replies every time.
>>324241852
Disagree nigger. I bet my ass there's a giant population of anons here that are purely to shitpost and troll.
>>324241852
There is obvious false flagging though.
Like when Undertale didn't get in the top 10 best written games or whatever.
The same thread was made over and over just to spark fighting over this fact.
>>324241862
Looks like a bait image to me. I mean obviously in this context it is, but the creation of it in general.
>>324241852
You'd think that, but yeah its a lot of shitty trolling. Not even the fun kind where someone over reacts or does something stupid. Its the " I'm bored and want to kill some time, so lets argue on the internet " brand of shitty trolling that does nothing beyond waste everyone's time.
For some reason, some people fucking love this shit and eat it up like its fucking ambrosia.
>>324241286
I have been very alone for a while and when i played undertale for the first time it had some real fun for months. Papyrus remind me a little bit of myself since he collects figures and is childish. And Undying is very close how my best friend is, but we rare see each other.
I just guess all the characters just reminded me of my friends and family. Since it had been a while since i had talked or seen them, i really connected to every character in the game.
But i see if someone does not like them or find the game boring.
>>324241862
It's a bait image. It's been edited.
For fucks sake look at the context in which it was posted, why are you taking it seriously? It was designed to piss you off.
>>324241971
>>324241973
>>324241974
>>324241983
>>324241993
So it's a kind of sad trolling where you just want any social interaction you can get? At least regular trolling is exciting because you rarely get to interact with people in that way.
>>324240503
undertale fans are fucking cancer, the game is actually decent but fuck off with your mlp tier memes.
>>324242046
dont forget, youre not supposed to like it or have fun. so make sure to repress those feelings. get back to playing v approved games.
>>324242089
Mate there's a guy on here that's conditioned himself, fucking Pavlov style to get sexual satisfaction from shitposting.
Don't underestimate the power of weirdos with time. Just think if say, the Barneyfag decided to focus his efforts on shitposting instead.
>>324242089
Yes.
If you see an inflammatory one-liner on /v/ and want to give that guy your opinion so bad, remember that they probably just want the (You)s more than to change your mind.
My problem with /v/ isn't that people hate Undertale. No no, I wouldn't want an image board where people's thoughts and opinions were policed like it was some 1984 dystopian future. The board should be free to NOT be a hug box.
My problem is that most /v/ denizens have a tendency to hold a double standard. What makes Undertale a horrible game could make their favorite game a classic for example, even if there's no difference between the two. For example, I'll list just a few of /v/'s "criticisms".
>I hate how Metatton is implied to be trans! that's so disgusting! mental illness hurr durr
>omg Birdo is so sexy! le trap meme xD
>I hate quirky meta humor!
>omg Kid Icarus is so funny! Pitty pat!
>Wow why does Undyne have to be so strong? stupid sjw pandering feminists and their strong women
>Bayonetta is so epic! you go girl, teach those mysoginist pigs a lesson with your boobs! XD
>grrr why is this game so casual, it should be super difficult!
>hey man, Yoshi's Wooly World and Kirby shouldn't have difficulty. They're "comfy"!
>I hate these graphics! Stupid pandering to nostalgia with its gay 8 bits!
>haha Mario Maker makes me nostalgia with its ironically bad graphics XD
And so on.OF COURSE, there are the rare people who don't hate Undertale for these reasons, and they have a legitimate problem with it that is based in personal preference and not just some desire to be a hipster hating something popular. In which case I have no problem with that. But it's almost never the case otherwise.
>>324242046
>I don't live in the real world with real people, instead I hide in a childish reality I create to keep myself sheltered from being an adult and living my life..
Typical undertaile fan. Enjoy realizing you've failed to develop as a human being when it's already to late.

I never respond to stupid troll posts. First of all because Im not an idiot. Second because its just sad.
>>324242210
>/v/ is one person, the novel by Anonymous
>>324242089
Thats more or less it yeah. I don't even think the trolls think what they do is funny, but they don't seem to have anything better to do or don't want to invest time into anything they can't just abandon.
Its really weird cause trolling is really only fun if something interesting comes out of it. Someone overreacts to an absurd degree or whatever. Personally, I only think its funny if its something you can talk about later and make other people laugh about. Instead, most trolling on 4chan amounts to " I said something stupid and people replied. LOL "
>>324241710
with every community, segregation usually kills off the wider sense of belonging. you don't get as many responses to niche topics on discussion boards if everyone only browses their containment boards.
when you talk about an old classic on /v/, you usually get hundreds of responses simply because it's in everyone's view. however, if there were a general on /vg/ just for that one game, you'd only get a select few committed posters who will post until there's nothing left to post about.
see: 5n@f general. ever since lore discussion faded off, the threads have devolved into drawfagging, roleplaying and memeposting. it never ends well for the niche boards.
when you compare what discussion turns into, compared to what it could be on /v/ (see: infinite perpetual flame wars), you can see why people would rather ragepost forever to pass time, rather than circlejerk in agony and watch their hope fade away..
>>324242254
Mate you just did.
>>324242046
I've heard some people say this elsewhere. Seems a bit like projecting to me honestly, but if it made you enjoy it more all the more power to you.
For me, the only thing that stopped me from a genocide run was how tedious it seemed.
>>324240503
Did you ever play Dragon Age Inquisition?
It's a solid 7/8 / 10 game that lasts well over 80 hours.
However, because there's so much SJW shit in the game and the development cycle (every important good person in the game is female, every pitiful enemy protagonist is male, male enemies are often pathetically dealt with by random female characters too stronk 4 men) that /v/ holds the game as a bad meme and nothing more.
>>324242210

I agree. Well executed trolls are hilarious. But depesrately trying to bait out responses is a bad crack binge to the ecstasy of making a fool of a pompous idiot.
>>324242265
That's the most overrated defense I've ever heard. Until proven otherwise, yes /v/ is one person, mostly because this board has a prevalent and easily deducible hivemind that dictates what games are allowed to be discussed.
>>324242318
No, NOW I just did
>>324242408
No it doesn't you flea-brained moron. /v/ is the furthest away from "hivemind" it ever has been.
>>324242408
But you post here, so unless you are part of that hivemind you just contradicted yourself
>>324242408
Completely agree. Anyone who is arguing otherwise is failing to look at a broader perspective.

should've been here when it came out. That's when you're going to find good discussion. Now people are tired of hearing about it./v/ loved it and had nearly constant threads upon release.
>>324242408
When you see threads with people defending and shitting on Skyward Sword in equal amounts, or when you see people discussing the merits and and flaws to a localisation project from both sides.
When you see clearly in this thread that some people on /v/ adore Undertale and others see it as an overrated mediocrity, you will know that /v/ is possibly the least "hivemind" board on this site.
But I don't think you care about being right or wrong. Here's another (You) for the pile.
Then go back in time to when it was the new indie flavor of the month and all the hipster faggots here loved it.

>When you see threads with people defending and shitting on Skyward Sword in equal amounts
That never happens though. The rare occasion when people are allowed to discuss Skyward Sword is usually drowned out by people calling them "sonyggers" or some other console-centric slur. It happens every time, with every nintendo IP.
Likewise, /v/ is never allowed to make an Undertale thread without people calling it a meme game, or a tumblr game. A thousand actual meme and tumblr games get posted here everyday, like Splatoon and Metal Gear Solid, but they're some how immune to these kinds of posts. A hivemind is a perfect explanation of why.
>>324242908
What both of you fail to see, is that there are simply two hivemind on one board. One to go with the general consensus, and one to opposite it.

Dunno what you're whining about, OP. Just don't click on the threads that are clearly going to be filled with people samefagging for attention.
Don't be a defensive fan, nobody is happy that way. Discuss when the opportunity arises, and ignore the offhanded cries for attention from lonely anons.
And for heaven's sake, STOP making these shitty meta threads. They are so worthless to everybody.
>>324240503
I love the game, but I was thinking the other day when someone told me it was the best game ever made
I thought of mario and luigi superstar saga and how it was filled to the brim with content and jokes and good/imaginative art
How can anyone call this game perfect? It was a very good use of 10 hours but thats it
>>324240503
i dont own the game
i dont like bullet hell games
rpgs can be alright
>>324243042
No, that's not the case either. There are plenty of people with moderate opinions on games, but people don't pay attention to them because they'd rather be ANGRY than have a discussion.
With-us-or-against-us tribalism mentality is the thing that's dumbing down /v/ the most, and it won't go away unless anons make a conscious effort to lead by example and not treat /v/ like a chatroom when throwaway one-liners are posted just to get people mad.
>>324241753
I thought it was because people ship Sans and Toriel
>>324243302
I heard about that. Toriel is his waifu and he was jealous.
>>324243023
Your mistake is focussing on the attention seekers of the board instead of tuning them out.
People post inflammatory buzzwords in the hope of getting replies and curing their boredom for 5 seconds, not because they believe it.
>>324242210
Was mettaton actually implied to be trans? I thought he just had a campy style.
The dude's a genius the later half of 2015 was absolute shit so releasing a game like this at that time was perfect.
Look at all of the attention this game is getting. It was either this,battlefront or FO4.
>>324242210
You are not even trying
>>324243721
Trying what? I'm just making an observation dude.
/v/ had positive threads about this game for weeks. Then they discovered that Undertale is popular on other sites and a lot of people reacted by a) disliking the game on principle because those sites include reddit and tumblr or b) going in with unrealistic expectations and being disappointed because Undertale was incredibly overhyped.
And of course there are the obnoxious sides of the fandom, the furries and the memers.
All of /v/'s problems with Undertale can be traced back to its fans in some way.

Because your fanbase as a whole wanted to do that last night, they spoiled two of the three final bosses and quite a few plot details for me. I was going to buy it but I'll always hate Undertale now. Never have I seen a more cancerous fanbase which openly talks about the biggest plot details of a game without any spoiler tags. Which is why you should all fuck off to >>>/vg/ if you want to talk about the game in so much detail that you end up spoiling it for everyone else.

>>324240503
The game is such blatant emo-porn feelbait that there's no way to discuss it objectively.
Yeah the sad monsters are sad and everyone has a good feel and a good cry, and everyone's really invested in how all the songs gave them a good feel and a good cry, and everyone is defensive about the soft furry animals that gave them a good feel and a good cry.
It's like disucssing the cinematography in a gangbang video.
>>324244057
I feel so bad for you.
You had the final bosses spoiled for you?
That fucking sucks man, the reveals to the final bosses are done amazingly and one of them made my heart skip a beat, experiencing them first hand is quite something.
It's just a damn shame you've been spoiled hard for a game you were going to buy and enjoy.
That's the fanbase for you though, they can't stop gushing over moments that hugely spoil the game.

>>324244178
Yes, and then the attention-seekers proceeded to fling shit at the mention of Undertale when they realised it was getting popular.
Please read posts in context before replying straight away.
>>324244595
Maybe they had genuine gripes with it?
You're the real barrier to discussion because you don't take negative opinions seriously.
Which makes any further discussion, again, pointless.

>immediately dismiss this game
Spent like 4 hours on it. None of them were fun. Waste of time, shit game.
>>324244057
While that sucks and I know how that is, what did you really expect for going into a thread about a game you haven't beaten yet? Someone will ALWAYs post spoilers without tags it doesn't matter the game. Hell, in some games, some people will purposely make a thread with spoilers in the OP just to fuck with people.
If you're interested in a game, avoid the hell out of threads until you've played it yourself.
>>324244639
Genuine gripes don't come in the form of spamming "Undermeme" over and over and trawling tumblr for whatever objectionable fanmade content they can find.
If people dislike the game but cannot be bothered articulating it, they should learn to hide and ignore.
If someone wants to drop a couple of lines on why they disliked a game, they are absolutely free to do so.

>what did you really expect for going into a thread about a game you haven't beaten yet?
I expect discussion of a game with spoiler tags where necessary. Look at all the Chronicles X threads we've had. Every time someone's talked about big plot twists in certain chapters or boss fights, they use spoiler tags. That's how it should be.
An Undertale OP last night?
>"So I just beat the true final boss X in the pacifist route. How did he turn into Y?"
And then somewhere in another thread....
>"Oh man, the boss fight against Z was really fun. Can't believe he would be the final boss at the end of the genocide route
I've never seen a game spoiled at this magnitude on /v/. Fuck, I mean even the Fallout 4 spoilers at launch were disguised as GIFs and didn't outright spoil it for people browsing through the threads.

>>324240624
this. dragons dogma thread were top notch until the pc annoucement. it's nice to play the game at 1080/60 for once, but the community shat the bed hard. no where have i heard that before? thanks pc "gamers"
>>324240895
This is just partly the issue, and not even the biggest part (which most people have already covered here) but it is a prevalent one that naturally causes a positive feedback loop of hatred.
Your opinion is one I share completely, it's probably shared by hundreds and thousands of unique users over the time from its release until current day. If just 10% shares its opinion, which will look EXACTLY the same as yours, that's over 10,000 posts. That's if they talk about undertale exactly once.
That's a lot of times to hear someone tell you exactly the same thing over and over. It's compounded by the fact that not everyone discovers something at once. Some people were following and picked it up on release, I think a lot more came to it after hearing it wasn't shit. So what you get is this constantly cascading "Ilikethisgameitsgreat" threads and posts, where people post more than once.
so 10,000 posts becomes more like 80,000, 90,000, which again I stress bring absolutely nothing new to /v/ at all. It's essentially spam. It's the biggest turnoff imaginable.
Again it's not the core problem, which is more of a classic mix of elitism, paranoia and fun. It is an often overlooked aspect though.
>>324244842
finally a reasonable man on /v/. am i dead?
Here's my issue with the game
Almost every single character is annoying
Some have a couple point where I like them, but at least 90% of the major characters don't
I honestly don't see why anyone would like any of the characters.
>>324245289
You should never go into threads about games you haven't played for this reason period.
>>324245559
it's probably because the feels part of the game didn't resonate with you, whether it's the humour or the dramatic elements. A lot of the time the characters just pump out jokes or whatever like clockwork whereas any real character development happens rarely
>>324240503
Hey OP, I'm the tester guy that would lurk and talk to dudes before release.
You really missed out when the game first came out before it exploded as the threads were pretty great then. Now that the fanbase has grown and bloated to this diseased mess this is about all you're going to get.
If it makes sense on lead up I wanted people to know about the game because having played it I knew it was great and I'd post random tidbits here to build up hype but now you can't click on anything gaming related without it being frontpaged- a friend that did more then testing is constantly getting hounded on his opinions of the game just because of his involvement. A lot of people are just sick of seeing it, that's all.
Mix that with /v/ being contrarian as usual and anons desperate to be the next le epic ruseman and you have the current situation

Damn right we are. This indie game has got more overexposure than Shovel Knight and FNAF combined.
>>324240503
There used to be a lot of good discussion of this game early on release. But now most people have already finished the game for some time now and don't care enough to talk about it.
So now the only people will talk about the game are the autistic fan-base and trolls.

What mess? That people like a game? Boo fucking hoo.
>>324240503
Undertale was really popular here the first week it was out until it became.. well, really popular.
It's not as though this is unique to undertale. It happens here all the time.
It's a decent game bogged down by some memes and excels at presentation of its assets and manages to change the formula up for combat just about every boss fight. The soundtrack also did wonders for it. It also went places you wouldn't expect and had a surprising end game boss fight (flowey I mean).
Of course the community went to shit when people wouldn't stop talking about it. A mix of frustration and jealousy.
>>324240503
Its just a few dedicated shitposters, as always.
At this point there isnt anything left that you can actually discuss here.
>>324246628
See, you die hard Undertale fans always take things personally don't you? Like what you want, I don't give a shit.
No, I'm talking about people who kept posting about it constantly with images/"tidbits" from the game when it was launched. This then lead to an influx of Undertale threads over time and mass hate for the game on this board at present day. After about a week, the huge volume of Undertale threads made people sick thus causing the divide we have at present.
>>324245442

Haven't even played it. You need to reel in your autistic little shitfits and stop crying because people that aren't you like something. Consider not hanging out on a video game board if video games and the people that play them get your crusty panties in a twist this much.
>>324240624
The case of DD is justified though. I've never seen something so bland and generic getting so much praise for nothing.
There's an Undertale thread every damn day. I just want you to go to /vg/. Who cares if /utg/ is shit, that's where you go. Not here.
I don't even care enough to shitpost.

Damned feels chasers chasing feels.. I don't like those guys ,they're wimps or something.... Right anon?
Fucking feels chaserslol
Communities always go to shit the longer they exist.
Some have a bigger halflife than others and some are H7.
Personally I never cared much for Undertale and actively avoided discussions or talk about it, since I wanted to play it later down the line.
I bought it then during last steamsale and was kind of dissappointed so far. I only played about 2h but so far the game is boring.
The humour falls flat on me, the puzzles are the easiest and most obvious thing ever and the danmaku elements crossed with an RPG are by far not as interesting as I hoped they would be. The music is really good, but then the visuals are horrible with two styles clashing that really don't fit well together in my eyes.
All in all, I don't see why people are so hyped up about it. Maybe the story/writing gets good after a while, but the gameplay elements so far are barebones and lackluster.

>You need to reel in your autistic little shitfits and stop crying because people that aren't you like something.
You know, when a fanbase takes a game and dissect it to the point where it spoils the magic of the game for other and it doesn't become fun to talk about then it's no wonder why the majority of this board hate Undertale and want all threads about it moved to /vg/.
>>324246504
I was cancer because I talked about the game and engaged with people?
Dude come on now.
>>324246280
Yeah, I'm kind of sick of seeing it in everything too. I kinda hate that any game on the wii-u is instantly spammed with Undertale now, it's absurd.
I'd be interested to see if the people who were disappointed in the final game are the same ones who played the demo. I enjoyed everything from the demo, less so with the snow area but still having fun and then less and less as the game went on. I only really liked the bosses after that. The game really just dragged on and on for me. Anyone else?
When you shill to /v/ and then to tumblr, bad things happen.
>>324247697
Right here. Liked the demo, but after the ruins the game became more slow paced with each area for me.
People get emotionally invested with the characters.
Given how it's pretty much people's first walking sim then it's no surprise how big it got.
>>324247647
Anon, I stopped posting here about undertale like 4-5 days after it released, and I didn't make a single thread for the game- I only went into ones that were already made and just talked about it.
Blaming me for the overflow of threads is stupid and literally doesn't make sense any way you look at it but if it helps you sleep at night go for it.
>>324247697
Honestly I thought waterfall was kind of boring overall and while I liked Hotland it really could of been trimmed down a lot. The Alphy/Mettaton thing went on for way longer then it had any right doing so.
>>324247647
>Did them games have about 6+ threads a day or did they have 2 big threads a day in their first week? Do they still have daily threads?
Yes, they had constant threads made, dozens at a time, and they still get daily threads about them despite having generals on /vg/.
>You know, when a fanbase takes a game and dissect it to the point where it spoils the magic of the game for other and it doesn't become fun to talk about then it's no wonder why the majority of this board hate Undertale and want all threads about it moved to /vg/.
If the threads are spoiling the "magic" then moving them elsewhere won't stop that from happening. The only difference is that you won't see it unless you actively go looking for it. If you don't want to get spoiled, then don't go into the threads. Every game has its honeymoon period before it gets torn apart and examined down to its core. Quit having a tantrum because you missed the boat.
>>324240503
Its almost like your game has been discussed to death, and if you want discussion you head on over to fucking /vg/ because its become a general at this point
So fuck off to /vg/
Evidently /v/ is exclusively for shitposting.

>>324247852
100%
>>324248068
The whole game felt so bloated like almost every part lasted too long.
>>324248638
By your retarded logic, the person who made the very first Undertale thread on /v/ back when the demo came out is the person responsible for everything today.
Things would be peachy keen if that one person didn't make that one thread.
>>324240503
It's a bad game however you look at it.
It fails at being an RPG and isn't a good shmup either.
>>324244126
From what I know it's a AU where almost everyone is an edgy version of themselves.
What I wonder is, if /v/ is not fitting to talk even about a small indie game, then what can /v/ actually talk about?
Is the board beyond saving?
>>324249081
/v/ loves anything as long as it's obscure and untainted by those filthy normies.
Just look at Sorcerland and Tuba Croc. Both were full of gay furry faggotry and yet /v/ loved it because it was unknown.
>>324249081
At this point only shitty flashgames that pop up sometimes that people play ironically.
Its the last type of threads where people enjoy themselves.

We're talking about an audience willing to shut off an entire game, niche, or even genre if it offends their feelings. What makes you think they'd make an exception?

There were some good threads before the game really blew up in popularity, then the hatebase formed. Just /v/ being /v/.
/v/ was hyped for undertale long before it came out. We had the demo.
We also had really good undertale threads during release before it got immensely popular, discussing gaster, glitch rooms ect.
Was fun times.

>>324240503
4chan & 9gag are for shitposting & re-shitposting respectively, literally every other website is for discussion
Undertale is an alright game. I admit I like the bullet hell/rpg mix. The story is okay too but it tries too hard to be deep. Trying to push "deep" themes with lame no-budget graphics turn off what the dev want to express, the game would have been better off all silly. Characters are fun but most of the stuff that comes out their mouths are memebait quips. Gonna get shit but Papyrus was annoying. The fans make this game look like mlp homostuck garbage. 5/10.
There's your reaction now fuck off to /vg/
>>324254331
I'm beginning to wonder just how stupid the average poster here is when people seriously think that something like Undertale is deep, or trying to be deep.
>>324240560
>>324245231
You guys realize that trying to justify why people don't like as simply "because it's popular", that that just makes people hate you fags even more right? People are allowed to not like something. Stop trying to shove your own reasons down their throats just to justify your own affection for the game.
>>324255069
Funny how people only started hating on it here after it got popular.
>years from now, undertale will be shown in videogame design classes and called an "undisputable classic we should all learn from"
>most people will hold the opinion that undertale is as high up there as genuine classics like zelda, konkey dong, mario, etc
>mass market push for it to be commercialized like crazy, plushies, lunchboxes, so you never forget how great undertale is!
>>324240503
Undertale is a decent game that attracts the worst kind of people to it. You've got tumblrites, SJWs, furries, LGBT, hipsters, homestuck fans, etc. It doesn't help that the praise is completely overblown and it's become the most overrated game in recent memory. It also has NON-STOP threads when there is an incredibly active general. That is why there's constant shitposting in these threads and that is why you're a faggot.
>/v/ likes a game
>it blows up in popularity and the playerbase becomes so obnoxious it becomes embarrassing to talk about it anymore
why does it keep happening? Minecraft, FNaF, Undertale, every single time /v/ legitimately enjoys something it gets the attention of every autist in the world.
>>324240503
Game got popular. /v/ loved the fuck out of it before it got quoted everywhere. /v/ is an edgy kid.
Did anyone else do the Genocide run first? I was already spoiled on a lot of stuff, so I wanted to fight Sans first. I also like how much the Genocide route fucks up the plot and music. Also, I really like this remix.

>/v/ love the fuck out of it
No. It was it's own little thing with it's own fanbase before. Now it's being shoved down everyone's throats and is constantly being hailed as the second coming of christ. Even the people who liked the demo have become disenfranchised with how everything has played out. The game is alright. It's not at fault here. If you want someone to blame for how things have turned out, take a look at yourself and the rest of the fanbase.
Actually undertale threads were really good on the first few days of release, then got progressively worse as the game got progressively popular - at landslide pace. Go figure.

Poor arguing form, friend.

You can't be serious.
There isn't much to discuss gameplay wise. It's a pretty shallow experience.

Great rebuttal bro. I'll reply in kind. It takes one to know one.

Because the fans on /v/ ruined it. I've played the game and it's ok, but it's not GOTY or the best game in 10 years. I hate undertalefags. Any criticism is reduced to 'you haven't played it' or 'this is trolling/bait'. You made such an echo chamber, the fanbase literally became the videogame version of the MLP fanbase. That's why people dismiss your game, because you're all obnoxious faggots that overpraise an ok game.
People can have their opinions, OP. Some of that is just the standard shitposters and contrarians doing what they do, but if you didn't like Undertale's humor or characters, there's really nothing there for you.
