Toby, like all SJWs, is obsessed with debasing, misrepresenting, and perverting things that are strong. Take, for example, all the knights and kings reduced to farcical faggots in this game, and the celebration of weakness, poverty, and sexual deviancy.

The message is: there is absolutely no value in masculinity--it a laughingstock that any other ethos surpasses--which is a very dangerous lie.

An astute observer would note that this game is parasitic and perversely destructive in its representations. Every archetype that was made renowned by traditional males is mocked or handed over to females, weaklings, and faggots with no credit offered to the genuine article.

So, this is an anti-male game that steals and parasitizes masculinity. That's why Toby is an SJW sex-traitor faggot.

He plundered the relatively obscure history of Indie/JRPGs, blatantly stole from ALL OF THEM, blended them together, and whored them out to Tumblr and SJWs.

It's like Anita Sarkeesian handed him a list of changes to make to Cave Story/Yume Nikki/Earthbound and he implemented them all, and gladly, and charged $10 for his thievery and bowdlerization.

The game shamelessly and blatantly steals from every successful cult game and indie game and then panders to every Internet subculture while hamming itself into a meme frenzy. It also combines Internet memeing with 90s cartoon Sanic catchphrase memeing.

This self-awareness and calculation is ultimately what makes it weaker than Cave Story or LISA. It's not wholly innocent of contemporary culture. It panders and is aware of who it's marketing itself to--even smugly so--with its scads of barely tweaked and disguised memes.

Toby's pretty smart and self-congratulatory while affecting something worthy of classic status because "he figured out the formula", and that kind of disingenuousness is offputting. It's calculation marketing itself as otherworldly fantasy rather than otherworldly fantasy itself. It is "the Internet" wearing a mask that says "I am not of the world."

It's ultimately too derivative to endure. It's the Eragon of indie games.

Best game of the decade? Are you joking? The pixel art looks like it was drawn by a senile man with Parkinson's and is an absolute disgrace to anyone who's ever created a game.

The creator of Undertale got $51,000 off Kickstarter to make his game, yet the pixel art looks like it was drawn by a down syndrome child. Freedom Planet had less then HALF of that budget, only $25,000 from Kickstarter, and came out looking one hundred times better, with actual quality pixel art and tight, fast gameplay (versus turn-based with mild bullet hell.) Here's the trailer so you can see the comparison, granted the voice acting was ameteur but understandable considering they had half the budget of Undertale which features zero voice acting whatsoever. https://youtu.be/fMEmcVRNZvI

It's the constellation of "homages" that's disgusting.

It's indisputable that he just stripmined the subculture of "iconic just-under-the-radar sleeper hit games and their resonant styles and imagery" and threw a sheet over them so he could claim them as his own wholesale.

What's nasty is that
a) the things he rips off are free or freely available and his game isn't
b) he effectively takes a dump on everything he rips off while exploiting it
c) he "improved" on his sources by going down the SJW agenda and implementing everything Anita suggests like her lapdog
d) he acknowledged no debts and instead plastered "BY TOBY FUCKING FOX" with the Inception-like sound at every chance as to proclaim his utter mastery and distinctness

So, he is thief who stole others original content positioning himself as this masterful auteur when in reality he just robbed everything that had worked in his contemporaries while giving them no explicit credit.

You are objectively a good person if you kill the monsters, though.

The real problem isn't even as simple as a misunderstanding of harm. The fact of the matter is that the monsters can destroy everything just by murdering enough humans. This is far too much power for anyone to hold, let alone an entire race, and thus they must be destroyed absolutely. It is the most ethical decision you can make.

>>342760867

The sudden change in the character designs would have made the whole reveal of the two characters way too fucking obvious. The whole game is designed to trick you into thinking that you are playing as yourself instead of an actual person with their own name and personality.
>>
>>342758036
If you go out of your way to genocide them, you're a really bad person. If you kill them in self-defense, you're neutral, bordering on good or bad depending on how much you killed, since there are other ways to defuse the situation without anyone dying and you're aware of that. If you spare everyone, you're definitely a good person because you took the hits to save other people's lives when it wasn't your responsability.
That's more or less how the game put it, I think. Sans doesn't criticize you too much until you get to really high levels and killed a lot.

Asgore still had enough will to kill the humans who came to the exit and start a war against humanity. He was overwhelmed with grief and a lot of people had very high expectations of him, so he did the best he could to try to make some moral compromise, where he avoids killing innocents as much as he can and raises the hope of the people.
Toriel said "fuck off" and went living in the ruins instead of supporting her husband and try to fix things where it really mattered.

>dyke fish: you though "he" was a man, right? with the big helmet and all? nope, girls can do it too!
No. Undyne is stated to be a "heroine" long before you get to see her in armor. Did you play the game?

>papyrus: autistic failure of a male. supposedly "super strong" but not actually.
He's quite the manchild. Not really supposed to embody any male value, his main quality is having a heart of gold, but that's not a masculine trait.

There's no strong male characters in the game but it's not like there's any flawless strong female characters, either. Every single character in the game is a cuhrazy fucker with personality flaws, and a mixture of good and bad. The plot is literally "everyone is special in their own way and the power of friendship will see you through!" kiddy shit for the most part, not "LOOK AT ALL THESE STRONG WOMEN!"

Fuck her. Literally fuck her. I'm not one to hate characters, in fact I was actually tolerating her in Hotland and was even into the date thing until she made me go to the dump, but holy shit what a fucking shitty character.

It's a shame that the only way to kill her is driving her to commit suicide, sadly you don't get to see it, you have to kill Undyne, and you have to let Mettaton live to fulfill his dream of becoming Hitler, it's amazing, even in the ending where she dies she ruins everything.

desu Papyrus is the worst character in the game next to alphys.

Seriously, can I go one fucking screen without this retarded cuck rambling about his spaghetti and puzzle fetish for 2 minutes?
Wow, now he wants to be my friend, who gives a shit? I'm trying to get myself back home.
Genocide run? How fucking stupid is Papyrus? If you were ever confronted by a remorseless serial killer, would your first thought be to CONSOLE HIM?
I don't see how people find him an "adorable cinnamon bun". He's an annoying retard that doesn't know when to keep his shitty memes to himself and ends up making the Snowdin segment drag on for eternity.

>This is an anti-myth where rising to the challenge and slaying the dragon is "bad." Instead you should just revalue everything and be content to be a loser and break down the barriers between loser and greatness so losers can be great, too.
Except the "Dragon" (monsters) is actually someone way weaker than you. Self-defense is justified in many cases but when there clearly are other options so everyone can live another day, that's a good thing to do.

>>342762615
But that's all true. Asgore killed 6 kids with his own hands, and it's very hard for him to do that kind of bad shit because he's a good guy at heart. He was overwhelmed when both his sons died and the underground wanted to start a war, so he did try to live up to their expectations, but also didn't want to kill, so he didn't go through the barrier to kill humans and break it.
Toriel went living in the underground because she couldn't stand Asgore's decision which was kinda justified at the time.
It's all in the game.

>>342762492

I'd say Sans fills that box. And Mettaton, in a comedic way, if you consider him a male since he looks like Bowie.

I find Mettaton worse though.

He literally goes from rather funny robot to a shitty gay-ass pervert with 0 personality with -literally- the flip of a switch.

>>342763297
I hate the fact that Mettaton only exists to justify how shitty of a character Alphys was, and like everybody else had 1 defining trait.

Your people literally went to war and the monsters are trying to break out again to somehow integrate (good luck with that when your magic kills humans by "accident" all the fucking time.) You're completely justified in annihilating them and gassing their slimy neethole which doesn't make any goddamn sense anyway.

Asgore could have broken the barrier with one soul. He's an unbelievable idiot and it's all a lame excuse for Toriel to have her "NUH UH BOYFRIEN YOU SLEEPIN ON DA _COUCH_" moment in the true ending.

The game doesn't make any sense and is a giant excuse to hate real strength and competency. Read about slave morality.

But the game doesn't blame you for killing monsters. It only blames you for genociding them.
Also, I'm not trying to justify those things, but I assume wild monsters attack you because most of them have animal-like minds. Named characters have legit reasons from their perspective (wanting revenge on humanity) or avoid killing you when you're low on health.

I'm pretty sure Gaster is actually in the game and was always meant to be. There's a random chance of him and related stuff appearing based on something called a 'fun' value. It's just that this mechanic was fucked for a while after the game came out, but Toby fixed it.

Gaster and the related incidents are weird, creepy things that show up randomly. They aren't dataminer bait. They're creepypasta bait.

No you're not. If Undertale is taking place in our world, it'd mean slaughtering 6 billions people for something that happened when they weren't even born, just for the sake of a few hundreds who (understandably) want to live in better conditions. This is not okay. Also, Asgore is like #1 dad, so killing children is fucking him up. That's understandable too.

>He's an unbelievable idiot and it's all a lame excuse for Toriel to have her "NUH UH BOYFRIEN YOU SLEEPIN ON DA _COUCH_" moment in the true ending.
Actually, it's there because if it wasn't there'd be no Undertale and the story would be over before it even began. Don't talk in Tumblrisms, please, they've already turned a lot of normal Undertale stuff into cancer, and you're doing the same.

>The game doesn't make any sense and is a giant excuse to hate real strength and competency

Negociation is a thing in real life and outside of Tumblr. I wouldn't discuss with a murderer, but in the Genocide run you're a little bit more than that.

I don't understand how people can even dissect such deep gender messages from this game. Half the writing is inside Otaku humor and "clever" jokes like "F4= Four Frogs, LOL. The town is called Snowdin, cuz it's Snowed in! Haha!" , and the rest is generic "Maybe hu-mans are the true monsters" tripe that feels hamfisted in almost any form of media that tries it. Most of the characters are generally tropes as well, and none of them get any real character development at all.

I mean as a game it's fine, but I don't think it deserves the level of analysis it's given.

It's never like that. It's the opposite actually, "Maybe monsters are just people too", which isn't quite ground-breaking but was pretty well-executed in my opinion. Remember that waterfall area with the wall writings? I like that shit.

I could be sjw or not, in either case the writing is still childish and simple, the characters are archetypal and lack any sort of depth, the combat (if you can call it that) is simple and unoriginal.

From what little I recall; the waterfall signa came off to me they were antagonizing humans, but I might need to give them a re-read.

As a story I feel the game falls flat on it's face, since it spends to much time telling jokes and dedicating whole sections of the game to gags. The end of the game came really unexpected for me, as the whole VN dinosaur segment felt like it was meant as comic relief. I'd really like to know what got it so much praise from critics.

Monsters would get destroyed by the humans. The MC, as a child, completely tears through all of them. They've been underground so long that people have forgotten how strong the humans are and Asgore, in blind rage, rallies people to him by saying they'll go fuck up humans for how they've wronged the monsters. As some time passes and he calms down, he realizes what an awful mistake he made but he can't back down because everyone is up for fighting the humans again. That's why he doesn't go get souls and why he tries to stall for as long as possible.
>>
>>342767901
In the waterfall area, you can see that the monsters have dreams, that they were hopeless in front of the humans, felt the weight of defeat and death, and that they wanted to take revenge. The mood is also really good (too bad random fights still occur).

As for the gags, well, it's polarizing, some people can't stand it, but I didn't really mind, it made things more lively for me.

A human/monster hybrid is stronger than a normal human, but he'd be so outnumbered that it wouldn't accomplish anything because it A. wouldn't free the monster and B. would just rekindle the disagreements between humans and monsters

All Godzilla movies have been a nlue balling of the most maximum degree, you always expect Godzilla to fuck shit up right from the start and they always end up screwing him over

>Inventive and creative.
Well, creative it might be, but it didn't invent anything new.
It was a fun game. It had an innocent and cute story mixed with some enjoyable music, but it's far off from being the best game of the decade.
This Year already we got XCOM2, Stellaris(which could need more content), Salt and Sanctuary, Dragons Dogma and SuperHot just to name a few.
If we would take the whole decade, it's even harder to tell it's a the best game.
My favorite piece of vidya of this Decade is, without a doubt, Ori and the Blind Forest.
Undertale is overhyped, but not a bad game.
It catered to the right persons to become the bestest game ever, but that's about it.

>you're supposed to feel bad for killing monsters
>meet undyne
>genocidal, has killed humans, her sections are annoying in general
>refuse to spare her in her fight and keep punching her even as she does her pathetic attempt at making the player feel bad for her as she dies

You can't make such an asshole of a character and expect players to fall for the "woe is me" shit when they actually get a karmic bitchslapping.

Fuck that fight

>genocidal
No
>has killed humans
Not sure whether she or Asgore did it. Yeah, it's a really bad thing but from their perspective it makes sense.
It would be bad if you were forced to go along with their plan and let them kill you to break the barrier, but you actually have to fight to protect your life in the neutral ending.

No, I was too busy dodging her shit and hitting her. I felt no need to kill until I met her, the other characters were actually fun and came across as decent, if a little insane. Undyne came across as a merciless villain so in my first playthrough I just wailed on her.

Fuck no, but more interestingly, have you guys read this Chara shit? People tend to make them out to be some genocidal monster, but the realization that Chara is the narrator in all of your playthroughs , genocide, neutral, and pacifist actually gives them a real personality.

Please save the autism for zelda timeline threads.

Not like this thread was going anywhere important. If the autism adds up it's worth talking about.

It's not the fucking game of the decade or game of the year. The game was ok, but it really wasn't anything great in my eyes.

>>342753670
i know you're just joking and fishing for (you)s
but there are some really fucking stupid people on /v/, who just want to fit in with the meme crowd, and they probably see you as a "really cool oldfag" and take everything you say as law
you're making /v/ worse

What the fuck are you talking about? Jojo is probably one of the least Tumblr friendly mangas out there.

You sound as dumb as the tumblrites themselves. Good job.

And problem solved, but they fucked up with the word gender.
