Show me a single shmup/bullet hell/wario ware-esque section in Earthbound you fucking memespewing parrot.

It's Earthbound's fault for not keeping itself relevant.
Smash Bros is the only reason anyone today would know Earthbound.

Why wouldn't it be? Even Nintendo acknowledged that Earthbound stinks.

Asriel = another name for Azriel (AKA Izrail, Azrin, Izrael, Azrael, Azrail, Ezraeil, Azraille, Azryel, Ozryel, or Azraa-eel), a Hebrew Angel/Demon, the God of Death, and some say he is the same entity as Sariel (AKA Seriel, Sauriel, Surya, Saraqael, Sarakiel, Suruel, Surufel or Sourial), demon son of Lilith and Samael, the blind God, who also identifies with the Angel Metatron (UNDERTALE's Mettaton). Yet another deity associated with Azriel is Raziel, and some believe they are the same being. Raziel (under the alternate name Galizur ("Revealer of The Rock")) is described as the "ruling prince of the 2nd Heaven." He is said to expound the "Torah's divine wisdom," and protects the ministering angels from the Hayyoth (four-faced anthropoid beasts), the "holy Creatures" that uphold the universe. He is the Archangel of the Ophanim, the wheel angels.

UNDERTALE is Jewish mysticism propaganda. Toby Fox is, quite literally, a Jewish shill who secretly tries to normalize the Hebrew Satanic cult of Remphan and Moloch and make it accessible to children.

it would be a small wonder if Undertale was LESS popular than Earthbound.
>>
>>339038539
We don't like the game because it's bad and not our thing. The fan""""art"""" only further fuels our hate, as a bonus.
After all, the game MUST by autistic to spawn all this autistic art in the first place. It simply attracts autism. You don't see the same treatment for games that are not autistic and tumblrbait by themselves.
>>
>>339037619
But Undertale is nothing like Earthbound.

I've played both.

The only thing they share are a couple of quirks. But beyond that? Go fuck yourself anon.

I doubt I would be a fan of such a game in the first place. I'm not saying that just to contradict you; there are always signs that a game will devolve into community autism. No community picks a game at random and starts spawning vile fanart about it.

You'd be surprised. A lot of people go out of their way to hunt down Undertale fanart. I mean yea there is a shitload of it, but finding the REAL bad stuff isn't easy. A lot of it is just decent drawings of their favorite character.

There will be always be cringeworthy fanart of a game. I fucking love Cave Story for example, but jesus I've seen some shit. Doesn't make me hate the game any more though

it was originally a joke rom hack called Underbound 2. there used to be some of Toby's posts on a forum, but the fucker actually went and edited them out.
this is the thread

all the 'empty' posts used to be Toby's about the game using a lot of assets later used in Undertale.

Except for Mother 3, there is absolutely no depth in previous Earthbound games, and what "gameplay depth" the Mother series has exactly?

How the combat system works
>Choose stronger attack
>Win

Or

>Choose stronger attack
>Push buttons timed with the music
>Make the battle 5 seconds shorter

wew lad

A fanhack for Earthbound with even less graphics somehow got more recognition than the entire series beforehand. Stay mad faggot

Undertale couldn't have been released at a better time. Earthbound sold poorly and was panned in its time, but these days people have analyzed it more and a lot of people wanted the sort of odd atmosphere Earthbound has.

So Undertale delivered it, and its success was measured by its sales. Toby Fox is a fucking millionaire now.

I'm going to ruffle some feathers and say the Undertale is actually better than Earthbound...when it comes to gameplay. Despite everything, it doesn't manage to capture the same atmosphere of Earthbound.

The world is empty, seriousness leaks in at inopportune moments, and it doesn't keep the bizarro train rolling long enough. Presumably this was because it was trying to be its own thing. and only inspired by Earthbound instead of blatantly copying it, but I don't think it worked well in its favor. There's a reason the first two sections of the game are much better than the rest of it overall.

It's just funny to me that the parts where Undertale surpasses Earthbound are the parts that weren't what made Earthbound popular in the first place.

Also the media reviews of it are fucking cancer. Way to ruin a developer for fucking ever by raising his first work to the level of "perfection"
