What is it that makes the fanbase so... bad ?
I finished the game the other day, somehow avoiding all the hype / memes / discussions / whatever surrounding it. The game was great.
But now that I'm looking around, it's one of the most autistic and embarassing fanbase ever.
>>
Shit happens, and unfortunately this had ties to Homestuck.

It never stood a chance.
>>
and does that hinder your enjoyment of the game in any way?
>>
>>339203950
No, that's the reason I wanted to play the game with knowing the less possible about it.
But I'm concerned about people who didn't play it and all their knowledge about it come from the fanbase. I don't think they'd want playing after that.
>>
This is game is basically for everyone as it has literally no requirement in skill or anything really so basically even the most autistic individuals can play it, also ties to homestuck through its creator

>>339204431
and will it hinder your enjoyment of the game if it happens?
>>
you'll want to shitpost about goat boobs and make stupid skeleton jokes, stay away friend
>>
>>339204719
...Nope? Where are you going with that ?
I'm wondering what would cause this phenomenon, as it's not as common for other games. Even here on /vg/ it's really bad.
>>
Each character is basically a "type" and people project themselves onto those types because they are not strong characters in themselves so they become fodder for things like fan canon and shipping.
>>
>>339204987
if it doesn't affect you, why do you care so much about how 'other people won't play it because of the fanbase'? the game is already among the top purchased games on steam, you don't have to look after it.
>>
I'd be lying if i said i didn't appreciate some of the porn coming out based on the characters
>>
>>339204987
we're not on /vg/
>>
>>339204994
>>339204493
Interesting, those can apply to Sonic's games and we know how the fanbase is.
>>
>>339205107
Its because you can't talk about it without people sperging out about head canon and just annoying overall behaviour. You can't talk about the game because then people just get into stupid fandom shit.

It's bias mostly.
>>
>>339205220
That's what I'm saying, the /v/ threads are quite normal but on /vg/ it's bad. By 'here' I mean 4chan.
>>
>>339205317
hey i passed the test. i actually do hate all the games on the right.
>>
>>339203528

why are you surprised?

>why has a game with a pretentious meta plot about furries and lesbo anime nerds attracted the 3 worst kind of person in it's fanbase?
>>
>>339205471

Then that's perfectly fine by me. It means you don't like the game, and aren't trying to pass off double standards.
>>
>>339205471
and that is if you think /v/ is one person or thinks like a hive mind.
>>
>>339205317
the strawmen are strong in this one. For both sides.
>>
10 years from now Toby Fox will hate this game.
>>
>>339205508
Whats even better is that Toby sort of resents those fans.
>>
>>339205317
Why do you have to hate every game on the right. If you say 'I don't like casual games' and dislike undertale and neptunia and that is it, you are still consistent.
>>
>>339205773

Depends. Is being casual the only reason that you hate Undertale?
>>
>>339205508
actually these things are really blown out of proportion by the autistic fanbase. Only a small minority of a diversity cast of monster can be considered furry, and the lesbianism is just.. there, it's not slapped in your face like Gone Home or other blatant SJW games.
>>
>>339205837
Why isn't that enough? Don't get what you don't like.
>>
>>339205307
well what is there to talk about really?
>>
>>339204431
I regret going to Undertales artwork section, I can't be unbiased for this game anymore
>>
>>339205895

I'm just saying this: it's perfectly fine to dislike BOTH Neptunia and Undertale for being casual, but if you also hate it for having memes in it, but you'll make a Splatoon thread filled with LE SQUID IS LE KID XDXD!, then it's a double standard you're trying to flaunt.
>>
>>339205632
1,400,000+ sales at $10 a pop, dude's sitting fat, ain't gonna hate it anytime soon
>>
>>339206636
10 years isn't soon. he's gonna hate it because he'll realize was a dumb innocent weeboo he was back then (now) and the game will be an embarrassing reminder of that forever.
>>
>>339205560
there will be a day where no true opinions will be found on this board
It will be entirely falseflagging and strawman arguments based on said falseflagging by other falseflaggers

that day approaches swiftly

well, one...

>>339206780
You underestimate the success and the impact this game had. In ten years I think people will remember Undertale fondly.
>>
>>339209861
people will, but Fox won't.
