>game tries to be clever and breaks the 4th wall
>it says no matter what I do I no longer have control
>"Oh really?"
>Ctrl + Alt + Del, force-quit, uninstall game

Ah, what do you know, I still had control all along!

If this isn't your response every time this shit happens, you're doing it wrong.

>that one part in genocide where they want you to exit the game and uninstall it

What would you do in this situation op?
>>
Holy fucking shit anon!
You fucking showed them! Y-you did refund it and get your precious, shiny dollars back, right?

You're not getting it. Once a game tries being "clever" like this, it stops addressing the player character. it instead breaks the 4th wall to challenge the human player directly. However, human players are far more powerful than the in-game character. By the player responding seriously, you're challenging and taking on exactly what the game dares you to do.

You can't argue it's foul play or against the spirit of the game, because the game is the one who broke the rules first. And if it's a competition between a bunch of lines of code a living human, the human will obviously win. What I'm saying is that as a writing device, this cliche is retarded and self-defeating.

>people praise this game for "super spooky fourth wall breaking!"
>many games before it have done this, and it's super easy to implement

Why does Tumblr do this?
>>
>>343677468
Its a just videogame, you autist
>>
>>343677468
What if the game installs a virus that formats all your hard drive partitions if you try to close the game? Who wins now, faggot?
>>
>>343677468
So... you challenged a bunch of lines of code and you won? CONGRATULATIONS

cool... have fun i guess?

>>343677723
No, it challenged me first. It's entirely its fault that it lost. It's like some kid picking a fight with an adult at a bar.

>>343676148
Why so much Undertale bait threads today? Is it the same guy?

Good luck, I'm sitting behind 7 proxies.

You could've just said "I don't like games that break the fourth wall" and not sounded like a complete autist.
>>
>>343677871
Its true, its just lines of code challenging a fat blob, its fairly not fair, autism is a great disadvantage
>>
>>343676148
Is there a game where the player can break the 4th wall?
>>
>Game is aware it's a piece of software

Absolutely nothing wrong with this.
>>
>>343677603
Because it doesn't really break 4th wall all that often. People just think it does, because it addresses the player's actions and responds to their choices.

AAA games have diluted the gameplay part of games so much, that people think good design = 4th wall breaking.

Bro, it's not just Undertale. For example, pic related is a far more egregious example.

I fucking hate you. I hate that you thought this was an impressive thing to do. I hate that you are so insecure you had to come to fucking 4chan to brag about your attempt at being a rebel. I hate that I've got diarrhea right now and it's over for the moment but I haven't even wiped my hairy asshole because of how angry your post made me.
>>
>>343678371
I liked it, but the story was awful
>>
>>343676148
But that is literally what the game wanted you to do.

If you close the game, the game wins.
