>>340056167
I didn't get very emotional because I had no fucking clue what was going on since this game actually does a really bad job of telegraphing all the story elements until the parts it would be significant to know them in have already happened. It's impossible to get the full experience of the ending battle until you've already finished both routes, but then some of the magic is lost because you already now how it plays out.

Going back to the first room afterwards was what did it for me, as well as flowey's new home sequence in genocide

It was fine. Not really all that hype for me but that's because I never really got into the plot or characters. I was really let down by the game being so much less dark than the demo made it out to be. The genocide ending isn't really the kind of dark I wanted, either. I was hoping for something more like the Jindies.

It wasn't a bad game, I just wouldn't call it all that memorable for me.

Yeah, those would be good choices for how well they capture the emotion of the scene. Of course, I didn't hear the latter in-game because I'm not a monster. Some of the others are better just as songs for listening though, like Dummy, Megalovania, Spider Dance, and Death By Glamour.

Nah man, Photoshop Flowey was way more hype for numerous reasons. Once Finale kicked in, it was the perfect mix of that "Gaining the Advantage" feeling when Flowey's defense drops to zero, musical synchronization of Flowey's attacks, and the direct feedback of knowing I'm on more even footing when my attacks started doing actual decent chunks of damage. I could finally destroy this fucking insane demon-weed.

Everyone says the health mechanic was shit, but if Fox had only put that in after you saved all six souls I think it would've gone over better. The six souls would've been funneling you Determination and health items as you fought to keep you alive, eventually beating the ultimate evil by the skin of your teeth.

Plus, the actual transition from Your Best Nightmare to Finale was amazing, the dinky little melody of Flowey that was trying to peek through in YBN finally became a full-fledged track that was on your side now, spurring you on as Flowey became more and more desperate to defeat you. Fuck it's addicting.

Lisa the Joyful's ending was harsh too, but it was about on the same level as Asriel or Asgore's battles. Asgore at that point was just a king with no way out of his situation who loved everyone, and you just wanted to find your way home. Asriel was just a child stuck with more power than he could deal with and couldn't feel anything until you start showing him compassion as well, and the scene with him as a kid showcased that well.

Buddy's scene with Brad in the Joy-induced hallucination was very symbolic, but fuck man that shit was rough. It's as if she knew deep down that Brad was just trying to help but she acted too hastily, and now had fallen too far to accept it, so she tried to kill him even when he was comforting her.
>>
>>340060321
Well he's deliberately hating on it because he can so I doubt he'd want to, if he hasn't played it already. Honestly though I wouldn't reccommend the game for its writing. If I were to sell it to someone i'd tell them its a relatively light-hearted, decently polished pixelshit indie with

Nah. Asriel was a shonenesque fight who, maybe, could have worked if you gave a single fuck about Asriel.
You only learn about him in some audiotape in wich he act like some kind of generic nice children and then he turn into Flowey wich is just an asshole.

Asgore was sad but not as sad as Joyful final fight. Again, it's because Joyful ending invole characters you knew for a relatively long time while Asgore only appeared at the end. But it was still pretty good, one of the only good story moment in Undertale.

Everything leading up to this fight, and the fight itself just got me pumped up in a way I haven't felt since I was a kid.

Was chara ever even human? Did they only become a "demon" or whatever after death. The fact that they can take a human soul sort of implies they're not human anymore at least. I got the impression that both frisk and chara are actually "angels" like the prophecy mention, in that they might have human souls but they're at least part divine.

Undertale is a "lore" game
It's a game where the lore around it is far better than the actual game.
You're not going to see much of the lore when you play the game, and even then its only bits an peices. to understand why this little guy is so precious, you have to remember all the information given to you from some tapes late into the game, trust what some NPC's tell you late into the game, know what is said about him hen doing the Genocide run, and after you beat him, walk 20 minutes back to the beginning of the game and talk to him, then walk another 20 minutes back to the end of the game.

It's the kind of thing that's precious in theory but holy hell only like 1 in every 50 fans will discover this on their own.

Asgore was a much more emotional fight in that game. You could actually lose to him LIKE YOU SHOULD IN A VIDEO GAME, and his character is much more tragic.


>be a pacifist who doesn't want to murder anyone
>have to either murder humanity so your people can prosper in happiness, starting with an innocent child
>or you let the child kill you, so your people can suffer in darkness for the rest of their lives
>do nothing, everyone is screwed
>still no son
>still no wife

With Asriel it's "get rid of this problematic videogamey stuff and make it a glorified cutscene". You don't earn a damn thing through his fight, and it's practically handed to you. That pisses me right off.

It was purely for the sake of saving the monsters from their awful lives underground. Still morally bankrupt, but remember that Chara is also a child who can make dumb choices and be easily misguided.
>>
>>340062142
People laugh nervously as a coping mechanism, that's a pretty common thing. Also, Asriel is kind of on board with the idea and only has reservations about the whole thing once the humans see him. There was a post as long as a fucking thesis about the whole thing that discusses Chara from the Narrator perspective and gives a bunch of evidence from ingame sources about what they were doing and what their role in the game really is.

Best boss fight for me last year was the Master in my Fallout 1 playthrough.

>that design

>that build-up over the course of the game

Instant classic.

Or it was the Soul of Cinder. Really great design and a real crazy twist. It felt just as epic as fighting Gwyn in the first game (w/o parrying) was, if not more.

Haven't played Undertale. What's so cool about Asriel? Can someone explain? From what I've picked up on over various threads he's like a king or something?

Aesthetically, I think Monsoon from MGR is one of my favorite in recent memory. The boss mechanics themselves are alright but the music and overall aesthetic of the fight was...thrilling. Hadn't felt that way about a game in a long time. MGR itself is a pretty meh game but that boss fight sticks out.

Maybe if the gameplay was more fun and experience of the game more enjoyable, rewarding, and satisfying I would have played past the spider bitch but it wasn't. Shit was a chore through and through.

The gameplay is unfun and depthless garbage that is only there to serve the plots narrative and gimmicks. I've never played a game that's been so praised and not delievered on any front that actually matters before. I don't know how people managed to sit through the entire game.

Asriel's boss fight has mixed reactions. If you plan on playing Undertale, don't read, it's best experienced as a surprise.
Asriel is the prince of the Monster kingdom who was killed by humans, but he was brought back to life by Alphys as a sentient Golden Flower, but he couldn't feel any positive emotions such as compassion and love, twisting him up inside. He also gained powers to reset and reload saves during the revival process. So, after an eternity of living like this, he comes across the player character, Frisk, who reminds him of his pseudo-sibling, Chara, who died from buttercup poisoning. In the end, he tricks Frisk into bring all of his friends to one place, and Flowey then steals the souls of everyone, becoming a godlike being with Asriel's ideal form (like a deviantart OC since he is still a kid at heart, he never ages).

The fight is a bit polarizing because it's a bit easy, since due to plot points, dying has less penalty than usual, you just get sent back a few turns in the fight. Also, in the end, you're able to save your best friends' souls by calling out and finding them within Asriel, eventually pleading to him as well. With everyone's souls inside him, he begins to feel compassion again, since their compassion for Frisk gives him a feeling of it as well. He then projects his feelings towards his lost sibling Chara onto Frisk, causing him to break down and apologize, reverting to his previous, small-goat-child form, crying. Eventually after a few words are stated, including the reveal of Frisk's name not being the one you typed in at the beginning of the game (Frisk's name was never mentioned until now, you're led to believe your name is the same as the first fallen human's, Chara), Asriel breaks the barrier and frees everyone. But he can't stay a child and will revert back into a flower if all the souls are no longer in him.. You can never save him.

A lot of people didn't like how sudden the emotional parts of the fight were put in, as some people felt no real connection to Asriel and thus the emotional parts were fully wasted on them, making it feel hollow.

I for one felt it to be quite sad, but not the worst part of the game. For me, the most emotional part was the New Home segment before the story was told by the monsters, Asgore's fight itself, and most of Flowey's dialogue during new home in the genocide run.

However my favorite boss was definitely Omega Flowey, that shit was hype as all hell.

Honestly - I think Sans was a really great boss fight and better than any of the other fights. Obviously, this is usually the final ending people pick, and there's something humbling about getting your ass absolutely destroyed. 4th wall gets broken in a pretty good way.

I always felt like I would feel accomplished after I beat him, but instead I just felt empty.

I'm willing to say it's because his hair can't be completely black or it'd be invisible against a black background, so his lines were changed too for consistency

Asgore's bossfight was the best part of Memetale you uncultured swine. Unlike Asriel the entire game builds up to that moment from the very beginning and it's an actual bossfight that isn't a complete pushover and has a pretty neat twist if you've been playing pacifistic.

Anyone who thinks this fight was anything special are gay. It was the cringiest shit I've ever played, and the music just made it worse.
