It's a game that ties its narrative into its mechanics in so many ways.

I don't really care much for its actual story/ the end of the pacifist route shit (genocide route made me feel more desu) it's just that I reeeaally like it from a game design standpoint. Hell, each generic enemy has personality that is represented even through the way you dodge their attacks.

Also, the kickass music:

> he calls you out

So the game installs a keylogger.

Nice. I know it's good to avoid now.

If you have low self-worth and hate yourself for having psychopathic tendencies, play the Genocide Route.

Don't buy into the tumblr meme shit
Almost everyone misinterprets some of the main characters

It's aimed closer to the shitposters/ realists than the safezoney/ let's-be-friends portion of the internet.

Normies also like games like Goat Simulator or I am Bread. Do I need to say more?

someone sent me a copy of Undertale on the 2nd day of it's release. I was like, wtfisthisshit mode

started playing it, was pretty emotionally engaged, did pacifist run and beat it, never did any other run.

then I started seeing it everywhere. I was like, okay this game was pretty good but how the fuck do you engage yourself in it's content for this long?

At one point I just said fuck it, I hate Undertale this shit is garbage. I'm sick of hearing this music, I'm sick of hearing these fucking Childish Gambino Bonfire mashups. I'm sick of these Hotline Bling mashups.

Fuckers only like this game because they think Sans and Toriel are fat and because the protagonist is genderless so all the genderless fat tumblr people can relate
>>
>>25030433
oh and the protagonist/frisk's fucking POTBELLY makes people think he/she's fat too, all this fat fanart/fat cosplayers, jesus, and CAATI

THIS IS A FAT GAME

dubs confirm undertale next mlp
>>
>>25030433
(I'm the person you replied to)
I feel the same way to be honest. I wish it'd stop :\

Toriel is supposed to be obnoxious/ annoying at the very beginning, because her character is a parody of hand holding tuTORIALs. (She literally holds your hand through one of the bits)

Sans is meant to be a shitposter who has given up on taking life seriously. Everyone treats everything in such high regards that he went a full loop and is finding stupid shit to be more fascinating, thus the indulgence of shitty jokes.
He's literally a 4chan shitposter incarnate.

But as you said, we get comics and gay mashups and ships with sans crying, papyrus admitting he's gay, toriel breast hugging everyone in the series, etc. etc.

Its storytelling mechanics (particularly enemy attacks) are fucking rock solid though.
>>
>>25030301
Spot on. Same with orange is the new black. House of cards had homo scenes in it. There was this really big game a while back called "Gone Home" about a lesbian couple. My mom is in a gay relationship and watches things specifically because of gay elements.

It makes me sick. I just want all the fags to die

It's Homestuck 2.0 with bullet hell elements desu

It makes homestuck look good in comparison desu. The only HS fans that didn't jump ship for this shit are the guys that were there before the tumblr invasion.
>>
>>25030480
fanbase is one thing, but I thought the games story fell flat on its ass as soon as sans made that whoopie cushion joke.
some creative gameplay elements, but the humor suffers greatly because it derives too much from internet humor and poorly implimented visual gags(such as papyrus diving out a window, and omega flowey's trollface).
>>
>>25030480
yeah I heard Toby used the word "faggot" in the demo of Undertale or some shit, lel
>>
>>25030508
that being said sans was chill as fuck and he's my favorite part of this otherwise mediocre game.
>>25030497
is right, the fact i'm shitposting about this outside of /v/ proves it.

you go on three dates and none of them end up in a relationship though. the game is so tumblr that your character's gender is androgynous
>>
>>25030595
Toby said that the character is not asexual/ androgynous or whatever; they are literally supposed to be whatever you think they are.

It's not "THEY ARE NEITHER BOY OR GIRL!!!!"- they are either that, a boy, a girl- whatever, it's meant to be whatever because literally who gives a fuck, if you can connect with the character more when you think of them as a guy then that is what they are

Except tumblr/ the general shit community misinterpreted this shit as well

I probably should have used the term ambiguously gendered. you know what I mean.

either way the game's overrated as fuck, which makes it even worse because a lot of 4chan likes it too. at least you can generally escape homestuck, MLP and superwholock shit here.
>>
>>25030644
The only reason I don't hate the overratedness/ over hype of this game is because it accomplishes a lot of what I want games to do nowadays.

NOT the gay/ homo/ tumblr/ "feels" shit, fuck that-

I literally just like how well the story brings you in through minimalist art and genius use of mechanics + player choices. Things happen to YOU, not the character on screen. (until the end of the pacifist route >_>)

I liked genocide route the most desu cause it made me really feel like a true piece of shit, and the final boss for it was just a shitstorm of emotions, skill, and spot on narrative/ commentary about how and why I did what I did.

... But if all I saw were "omg how great are these gay characters!" and "look at how cute my asriel art is!!!" then I'd roll my eyes at the series. I'm guessing that TobyFox is ultimately regretting taking that approach a bit too excessively, and just wish everyone would think more about what actually mattered. (Tying in game mechanics with story)

it's bowman doing the parody, another guy from the music team. it's most probable that toby forced him to hide it after he blew up on the internet.

it's sad because a load of toby's old shit is gone or hidden now to give him a fresh start. he's pandering to his new fanbase.

it rubs a lot of his old fans the wrong way is all. believe it or not he's been doing shit years before undertale which is now completely undermined and brushed away.
