Gee, I wonder

Almost anything Toby Fox makes gets this huge ass cult following

It didnt go unnoticed.
It simply went less noticed, as if that was hard to figure out.

Are the French weeaboos too, now?

Moronic way of thinking.

literally 90% of anime is complete and total garbage

literally 90%

literally

Not enough wacky anime humor.

Because it already had the Homestuck fanbase behind it
>>
Off:
>Interesting setting
>Very unsettling atmosphere without being horror
>Simple formula, excellent execution
>Spooky skeletons and ghosts

Undertale;
>Amusing cast (mostly)
>Tries way too hard to invoke feelings while being cartoony as shit
>Lots of crazy shit added to gameplay that makes it annoying
>Has furry bait

Both have good and bad. Off just doesn't have the same lasting, disgusting fanbase. I liked Off way more though. No ridiculous DEEP shit like Undertale.

>>318351621
Maybe a small fanbase is for the best god knows what could have happened

Off
>made in 2008
>translated in 2011

>tumblr finds it in 2013
>still has small cult fanbase

Undertale
>demo released in 2013, /v/ likes it
>released in 2015
>fnaf-tier fanbase in about a month

tldr: because undertale was released 7 years after off was

Can you /v/ fatasses name a single fanbase that isn't "shit"?
>>
>>318350706
Off didn't have sick memes and doesn't remind me of homestuck
>>
>>318350706
oh, it did got noticed, it got quite big in the homestuck "fandom" more so than undertale, THAT or the homestuckfags are quite smaller now.

But hey, both are good games, and I cried in the OFF ending, but couldn't in undertale true pacifist.

There was minor hyping of the Undertale demo, can't deny that.

Street fighter, minus 09ers.

It's a shorter game with less variation and a slightly-different-than-generic RPG combat system. It's interesting stylistically / thematically but it doesn't really do anything particularly clever or compelling. The combat is sort-of unique but it's not interesting in the slightest and becomes too easy very quickly. The story is quaint but the major beats are pretty predictable and that atmosphere can't carry it alone. Plus it's intentionally vague and obtuse as fuck to the point where you can barely parse any details about the story other than what's explicitly spelled out for you. Things just feel ambiguous for the sake of being ambiguous, and that feels almost kind of lazy.

Basically it was just another dark and quirky RPGMaker experiment and there wasn't really much there, and there wasn't really much to latch onto for fandoms.

I have some issues with Undertale too but I'd hit the character limit and don't have the time to be assed about.

>>318350706
OFF is decently popular.

But the reason Undertale is more popular is because Undertale is far better. OFF is decent, but nothing phenominal.

Grand strategy folks are pretty cool.

OFF lacks substance. It's mostly good for theorizing and symbolism appreciation.

>>318355960
Just stay off /gsg/ and I agree

Miyazaki is a fucking hack, though. He's wholly incapable of writing a compelling story. He's a very talented (and scatterbrained) animator, nothing more.
