Did Undertale pretty much rip off Super Paper Mario
No.

Undertale is to video games what postmodern art is to art
No, but SPM has better writing/characters
>>340899213
Yes
I'm reasonably sure whoever wrote the copy pasta comparing the two hasn't actually played either game. Or it was intended to trick people who haven't played either game.
Undertale is a walking sim.

Undertale was pretty original, imho. The real scandal is how much Cave Story copied Undertale.

that's an insult to postmodernism, it's more like
undertale is to videogames what meme culture is to the internet
>>340899213
Undertale ripped off
Cave Story (setting and mimiga designs)
Shin Megami Tensei (pacifism mechanics)
SPM (what you posted)
Mother 3 (a metric shit-ton of ideas)
Earthbound (by extension of Mother 3)
and Mother 1 (intro is very reminiscent, a lot of things that were also in Earthbound)
I thought the game was okay but It's disgusting that people think it's innovative or unique

hey, i think undertale is garbage at what it does most unique, it's story, but it's a bit silly to fault a game for taking inspiration for what the creator likely loved to play. yeah, its story ripped off a lot of things (most notably the hidden ending of cave story), but it did an interesting blend of gameplay elements from multiple games, and i can't fault it for that.

This. I actually thought the gameplay was really unique and was fairly well executed (albeit very easy with two major exceptions). On the other hand I fucking hated the writing and the extremely try-hard attempts at humor.

>its story is the most unique part

I like the battle system (though it could use work) and like I said the game is a solid 5.5/10, the problem I have is when people try to say it was completely original.

why doesn't anyone ever understand this
cave story copied wayyyy more from undertale than undertale copied from anything
