What is /v/'s opinion on Undertale?

Has Undertale left a lasting impact on Video Games?
>>
No, I liked it a lot though.
>>
It has nice characters, and nice music, that's about it.
>>
It was good. A 10 dollar game that was more enjoyable than most triple A releases that year.

It's really too early to tell about making a lasting impact, but i feel it will be one of those big indie games like binding of isaac and super meat boy that people keep referring to years from now.

Undertale is a shoddy, overpriced, inferior Earthbound clone with a cheap, hugely overrated morality gimmick and pixel art reminiscent of the incoherent scribblings of a down-syndrome child.

Best Paper Mario game in years.
Really though, just a fun little game with some amusing 4th wall breaking moments. I found it a little preachy at times, but whatever. The neutral run is by far the easiest even though the characters chastise you for defending yourself. Less hypocritical at least than Spec Ops with that game forcing you to do awful things and then calling you an awful person. You can go through Undertail without hurting anyone at all but it's very difficult. It's not very well drawn and it really... feels like a gamemaker game, but yeah, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I agree that the message behind undertale is very juvenile and black and white, but it honestly hit all the right notes for me and I can't explain why. I'm capable at looking at it objectively and seeing all the flaws but the time I had with the game felt better than the score I would currently give it. It's elements which by themselves range from really good to mediocre are alright but when put together they make an experience more than the sum of it's parts. and I haven't really played a game that's done that before. I don't know if undertale will be some game we look back on in twenty years and think of as a masterpiece or if it'll fade into obscurity and be replaced by some new indie game but I really enjoyed it and wish i could play through it blind again.
>>
Undertale was good and /v/ was having some fun threads upon is release and prior to it with the demo.

Then cancerous furfags and other fanbases latched onto it and ruined it.
>>
I've only played genocide.
Sans fight was fun but I don't have any desire to play the other routes.

It pulled off some concepts that other games don't pull off well, but it's still not much more than just decent. I doubt it will impact the industry in a meaningful way, but it's likely going to have a following for years to come.

wew lads, a "dust has finally settled" thread

Okay, fine.

Undertale was a good game, with an interesting story and moral about what it means to play video games, combined with unfortunately shitty gameplay that is pathetically easy and repetitive, except for two bosses in the entire game.

Everyone enjoyed Undertale until the fanbase went full FNAF-style cancer mode. Now it is cool to hate it, because of the fanbase ruined the image and /v/ is 90% posers.

Lasting impact on vidya? Hardly.
Neat indie game? Definitely.
>>
The game lives off irony humor, which is doing same stupid thing as usual, but occasionally pointing at it and going at length about how stupid it is to do such a thing. Depending on your approach to post-modernism it breaks it into irredeemable shit or masterpiece.
>>
>>340446093
>>340444983
I don't get this "preachy" argument.
The game isn't preachy, a single character in it is, the villain, whose entire purpose is to mess with you through fourth wall breaking shenanigans.
>>
Tried it, wanted it like it (I love many like it), but got pissed off at falling down holes and not knowing whether to listen to the game or not.
>>
>>340447036
I wouldn't say it's to preachy but the message itself is pretty childish " Killing is wrong in every circumstance, even in self defense" is a very black and white way to look at it and anyone who agree's with that probably hasn't lived a day in some ghetto hood.

That's not the message I got from it.
What I got was "killing is wrong when there is a peaceful way resolve things", which there always is in Undertale.
>>
Regardless of fanbase, it's a great little game. It's important to be able to separate a game from its fanbse mentally, I think. I still listen to the music fairly frequently.
>>
>>340443874

>>
>>340448543
>Killing is wrong in every circumstance, even in self defense
But that's not the game's message - in fact, in the pacifist ending Asriel even comments on how the world outside of the Underground - i.e. the real world - isn't as simple as the world of the game. Specifically, he comments that there are "a lot of Floweys out there", referring to Flowey's kill or be killed philosophy.

Remember that your character literally has the ability to rewind time. He cannot die. This is an explicit part of the narrative. It's not condemning him for being violent per se, it's condemning him for being lazy. There is literally no reason for him not to try and resolve things peacefully except being a dick.

Basically it's criticism of the lethal/nonlethal play dichotomy in games like Deus Ex, where the ability to choose between killing and not are presented as empowerment.
>>
It was pretty good. Fun, decently challenging (Only Sans and Undyne the Undying), and had pretty cool characters.

It had a lot of flaws, like the entirety of the genocide route barring the dialogue and the 2 real bosses.

The soundtrack is fucking on point, though. It's the one thing the game has that isn't overrated.

It's standing on the shoulders of giants and polishing already existing design, maxing previous similiar design seem obsolete.

Simply put, Undertale to its genre is what Half Life is to its genre.
>>
I thought it was underwhelming. The main thing that bugged me about it is that no one really reacted to you killing people on the neutral playthrough except for like Papyrus and only Undyne and Sans each mentioned his death once. Killing people didn't really give you consequences other than just less content and when I went back and played True Pacifist I wasn't very impressed either. Music was good. Gameplay never really interested me. I didn't like most of the characters at all. The humor was often just obnoxious and I was left wishing I could skip through dialogue faster

I liked it. Characters are no ME or Witcher and the game takes itself way too seriously sometimes (True Lab, Genocide) but the end result is pretty fun, it wouldn't have been anywhere as good without the music though.
I don't see it having any kind of impact and that's probably for the best.

So in the human world, everybody knows that if you go up to Mt. Ebott, you disappear, right? And it's generally accepted that Chara and Frisk went up to Mt. Ebott to commit suicide, right?

The game was pretty good, but it wasn't good enough to warrant that crazy fandom. It was good for, like, 2-3 playthroughs to see everything. Music was good, battles got annoying and unfair. I even skipped Sans battle, cuz the music wasn't good enough to make up for how impossible it was.

>>340443874
The game is actually original in a few ways, but not for the things that usually get credited. The elements that are most commonly praised are the morality gimmick which was too overt to be effective and too, well, gimmicky to be original, it was just doing what every other RPG does except then going "ha ha, we tricked you! You're actually evil." Which, again, is just a more overt way of doing what SotC, MGS2, Spec Ops, etc. have already done. I get that its trying to "shine a light" of sorts on how thoughtless the player's actions in an RPG are, but the fact that the game itself acknowledges its not a real world makes it lose its emotional impact. Stylistically, the game looks like it's a Tumblresque fan parody of Mother (which, more or less, it is). The story itself is kind of entertaining but is not original, it's mostly composed of common tropes.

The idea of combining turn-based battles and bullet hell/platformer gameplay was creative as fuck, but the game was usually too easy to really take advantage of it.

The way that the story explores the thematic connections between the routes is creative too. That's kind of vague but I don't know how else to explain it. It's something that VNs often do, but Undertale kicks it up a notch in this regard.

That's really it actually, but those are two significant elements that might influence video games in the future, which two more than 99% of video games. Overall fun game, especially the genocide route, where the story came around thematically and the gameplay finally got challenging. I also liked the "shock" elements of the route, but they lost their impact by the end. I will say that without the genocide route the game would be worthless, but Toby obviously intended it that way.
>>

Yeah it's crazy how socially unaware some people are after coming into contact with it. Like I go to a musician's cover video right after he uploaded a new one, since he enjoyed the game a lot and wanted to do some music for it. Yet the comment section is just people screaming about how shit it is. It's quite pathetic.
>>
>>340443874
It's a pretty stellar game for a small price.
What stands out the most to me about it is the complete translation of story through gameplay, and that's what the gaming industry needs more of. It's funny and its got some nice music.
9/10 A gud game

>>340452304
Fair enough.

I'll grant in Frisk's case, it's ambiguous anyway, but in Chara's case I think it's explicitly stated they went up there to die.

Have some shit opinions...

Its character moments are pretty fun, however it does rely on the audience being somewhat familiar with current internet/gaming culture.

Gameplay is rather bland. Outside of bosses, the encounters are rather boring.

Music was great, but its not something I go back to.

The story is rather simple and the deconstruction was good at some parts and really fucking pretentious at other parts.

Graphics where ok, but again pretty bland but it did make the Omega Flowey boss's art shift more impactful

Its fandom is hot garbage shit

Play LISA instead.

It still holds up, I wouldnt say its one of gaming greatest achievements like Cave Story and MOTHER 3, regardless of the fact its on Wikipedia's "Art games" page.

Eh, who at this point still cares about Undertale?

More like "almost of all the people on /v/ who played it liked it until it became popular" because it became popular pretty fast, and most of /v/ did not play it until it became popular.

Not him, but CS was perhaps really is one of the greatest success stories in video games. It was entirely developed and produced by one Japanese guy in his free time, and is better than the vast majority of video games. It achieves a harmony between all of its gameplay elements that few other games can match, and its story and music are pretty gud too.

Yeah, it gave indie devs and game gold diggers the hope that their shitty products can be more shitty and give them more money than they though.

I really enjoyed undertale and it was legit one of my most enjoyable gameplay experience last year. I just wish people wouldn't fall over themselves trying to bash it to earn /v/ coolboy points (I seriously wouldn't even be thinking about it at this point if there wasn't a meme hate thread literally every day)

I don't think it'll effect games at large, but it will definitely affect some of the indie stuff. I wouldn't mind more games that messed with genre staples as concepts.

I honestly doubt it, I think they only wanted to kill enough to destroy the barrier because if they wanted to go on a murder spree there were plenty of other monsters who hated humans too who would've been better suited to give their soul to than friggin' pansy boy Asriel.

Plenty of monsters down there who hated humans and would've LOVED to go on a murder spree with Chara's soul, but Chara chose Asriel for a reasons.
>>
>>340459996
Possible, but I would think the main reason they chose Asriel was because they were close to them.

>Has Undertale left a lasting impact on Video Games?
No, it was a meme game like FNaF.
Now that they new FNaF has stolen the spotlight back no one gives a fuck about Undertale anymore.

The game was alright, it was really nothing special though.
It was pretty much references: the game which makes me wonder how it's hailed as the peak of originality.

The music was really good, one of the few things I did really like about it.

While likable, the characters are hardly developed beyond a few things and the cop-out "Power of friendship! ^_^" ending really killed it for me.

The whole talking to enemies thing gets old fast when you encounter them every few steps. Left me wanting to kill them, but the game shits on you for that.

Genocide's grind is annoying.

If you're so intent on playing against Undying or Sans just use flowey's time machine

Superhot's a fine game mechanically too, it's just the "story" was dumb.

You earn money by sparing though, which is needed to buy things if you really want to enjoy everything the game has to offer.

No one plays genocide normally.

Completely irrelevant at the moment. It was pretty good tho.

thought it was kinda funny- jokes are a hit or miss. art was subpar, the community makes me want to stab myself with a knife, the gameplay is withstandable.

feel like this game would resonate more with /v/ if the art had the same quality as some of the shopkeeper sprites had, maybe like in the pic related

the fact that it's on pc doesn't help either. the game would work great on 3ds. maybe one day nicalis will get permission to give it the same treatment as cavestory and binding of isaac

I really liked it only partly because I got it for free and really the size of the game, you can download it in 10 seconds.

I kind of valued it's meta commentary on the genre, and the effects of nostalgia on the gamer's psyche.

It's solid game, but it's also a dead end, I think the message was to look at current video games.

Well it was certainly the most overhyped game of the last few years. I have played it and for me it was a 4/10 maybe 5/10. Not as good as it's made out to be in any way and I honestly felt like I couldn't enjoy it properly because of the hype. People were acting like it was a second Half Life while it was just a fun little game. Also the community it spawned should be purged from the earth. Call it Memetale and give it a 4.5/10 rating and I'm fine with it.

This game on it's genocide run needed more time in the oven. Even though killing everyone shouldn't be something rewarded, it could have at least stronger enemies that came at you more, that's what the monsters should've done instead of be like Europe now.

I liked it a lot and I often find myself going back listening to the OST. Very good game for only 10 yurobucks. The fact that it's gained such a bad reputation between most people on the internet saddens me a little bit though.
Also well, I think it did leave a lasting impact in the video game industry, but it will always be remembered as a very overrated game by many. Not to mention its fanbase is comparable to fnaf's or sonic's.

It was a shit game that pandered to tumblr and got a even more autistic fandom following. The jokes were shit, most of the "Inside" jokes were shit, the gameplay itself was an average RPGmaker game at best, and the characters had to be the worst part of the game.

The Characters were one dimension as fuck, most of the characters were pretty much trope filled characters from anime and other such media, their was nothing special about them other then the nasty furries that want to have sex with an underage goat boy.

Unfunny tumblr-tier "humor".
4th wall breaks in place of genuinely good writing.


I just played it through for the music. Everything else it's gotten praise for is completely undeserved. By the time the game went full self-aware with that fight against the flower I was rolling my eyes at 160rpm.

What do you mean by "lasting impact". It's not like undertale did anything that hasn't already been done. We've had meta games, RPGs, flat characters, etc. out the ass for the past 10 years mate. Cave Story probably had more of an impact on the indie dev scene, inspiring people and whatnot.

The soundtrack was hella good tho.

Cave Story is the most important Indie game ever made senpai. Minecraft would be 2nd.
