Nobody really knows and Toby pretending the two games aren't directly related isn't helping.

Honestly would've preferred a more fleshed out rendition of this fight instead of the Flowey battle we got.

I'm a Spider Dance man, myself
Spear of Justice is also valid

I don't think anyone really knows where the story is going to go with Deltarune, the demo is too small a slice to give us much of an idea of what Toby wants to do, not to mention the entire script is littered with potential red flags and red herrings

because it's not "tumblr"
tumblr would just be pandering to sjws with no depth or creativity

Kris, the actual Kris, ripped the player out of their body and flashed a knife to show that they're either Chara or a Chara expy.

>Undertale
>tumblr shit
But that's wrong. When the game was only a demo only Yea Forums talked about it, barring one thread on reddit with like 20 posts.Undertale had such a presence on Yea Forums that I don't think I've seen that many threads for a single game at once on Yea Forums out side of GTA and DaS.

The game was building up to him the entire way, so getting to him finally pays off the hype. Not to mention, he had a little more depth to his motivation compared to Undyne and Metaton. I could understand someone feeling bad for him. His motivation and yours were at odds with each other, so it makes for a climatic final battle. His fight was also similar to Toriel's, so there's also the feeling of everything coming full circle.Really, I think it was mostly just good build up to him.

That was Kris's pie cutting knife user.

Kris is aware that you are controling his body and he doesn't like that. It's also implied that this happened before with how there are stains next to the heart cage.

Most prevalent theory is that it's the real Kris taking over, while the SOUL is the player. Also related to this is that section where you control Susie for a moment, Ralsei explained something to him while you were gone.

You overwrote Kris's savefile and now he's going to use that knife to cut some of that fucking pie

Because Toby Fox cares about the tumblr shit in a sincere normal person way, he wasn't just trying to show everyone how epic and woke his game is. Its all subtle things, there are masculine male and female characters, feminine female and male characters.

Also Core is kino.

Chapter two fucking WHEN

This game was pure SJW trash and the fact the majority of Yea Forums enjoyed it is scientific proof this board is taken over by Reddit fags.

You can literally feel how forced the dialogue is over writing, which is an impressive feat to dedicate yourself to being that bad at your craft, but it was still a shitty game with a shitty story and a shitty sermon about friendship it practically forces down your throat. Literally cannot remember one single part of this game where I had fun.

do do DO do

You don't have to call every slightly moralfag game "reddit". There are better descriptors than that. The gameplay is pretty weak, but I only stayed for the music.

Fun fact: Another Medium started out as a remix of the Homestuck track Doctor by George Buzinkai, though Toby decided not to release it in that state. The final track contains no traces of Doctor. Toby posted a sample of that earlier version on his blog. (Incidentally, another remix of Doctor, Savior of the Dreaming Dead, was one of Toby's first big tracks on Homestuck.)

Buzinkai died, presumably of suicide, last year.

Doctor: youtube.com/watch?v=ve7TB0FggaY
Another Medium, original version (entitled Patient): fwugradiation.tumblr.com/post/33265379210/patient-not-gonna-use-this-for-anything

I imagine if Toby is confident enough to put out a Switch/PS4 port already it should be closer than we think

At most that would mean he's got a team put together and is ready to start development. It's gonna be at minimum 2 years for it to come out.

I wish Toby wrote the ending of Homestuck.

Toby is a huge gay and his fans love him for it. It's disgusting.

The game isn't even half the "highschool tranny fan fiction" you even make it out to be".

Now what you're gonna do is take my post, trivialise it by strawmanning in meme-text, and then act like you won.

I'm noticing a contradictory in your philosophy here.

God, you just proved to me and everyone in this thread that you haven't played the game and you're running your mouth about shit you know absolutely nothing about.

You're a weak character.

I'm fairly certain he's going to be the bully considering he's clearly going to be the traitor/main villain.

I think you can still immerse yourself but not really start bawling if you kill a boss character.

I don't think Toby Fox is the guy to completely ruin established characters just for the sake of subverting expectations with cheap shock value.
Some people may call him a hack, but he's not THAT much of a hack.

I also think you can feel emotional pain and sadness without literally bawling. Strange how things work, right?

You know, I can at least give Cave Story some credit for showing shit getting fucked. But at least if you played the game right, you get a sense of bittersweet hope from all the despair. Undertale just seemed to want to keep things at a level that held players to some naive standard of how pacifism works. That love and friendship will fix everything.

It just felt juvenile to me.

i'm a baa

I couldn't give a fuck about 99% of these or most of Toby's work but Moonsetter really fucks with me for some reason. The first time I listened to it, I had to look for the source because I genuinely thought it was something I listened to as a kid, like those bargain bin child lullaby CDs my mom would play for me before I went to sleep. Nope, it's actually from fucking Homestuck, and I never even remembered listening to it in the first place.

It's got a pretty upbeat melody but listening to it really makes me want to cry. I will never understand the autistic psuedo-connection I have with this song. I still don't.

that's completely fine user
you don't have to feel anything that everyone else feels, and that doesn't make you better or worse than anyone
but if you start telling people that they should feel one way or another, that makes you come off as a smug prick, and people don't react well to that

Listening to Moonsetter as someone who unabashedly adored Homestuck until it went to complete fucking shit in the most heinous, disrespectful, unbelievable ways possible magnifies that feeling exponentially.

i get how it can feel kitsch to people, the themes are echoed all throughout saturday morning cartoons and all that
but i think the point was that people trapped in shitty situations are still people, and appealing to them with positive gestures and vibes can get you a lot better than acting like some turbodick violent-man

does anything taste more of wasted potential than homestuck to you?
i think hussie fucked himself with all the plot threads he left hanging and had to resolve at the eleventh hour

It still feels off to me. Especially when the narrative attempts to excuse the monsters that are...umm...shooting bullets at a child's soul? It comes off disturbing in a way that the monsters are excused, even when some of them express their desire to kill humans or are clearly hostile, but you're still encouraged to show love to them or else there's something wrong with you.

I found the ending of the pacifist route to be really impactful and satisfying because it makes you reflect on all your previous actions, and think about just how nasty and miserable things could have gotten, but you changed that fate.
You're filled with this overwhelming positivity because YOUR decisions brought you to that point, and honestly having a moral booster like that is nice to have in a video game every now and again.
The game didn't have to rely on edgy down to earth messages such as "bad shit will always happen and there's nothing you can do about it" while having a bitter-sweet ending, and honestly it's for the better because it's so overdone and it makes edgelords with low IQ feel unique and superior.
Undertale's pacifist ending is a celebration, it goes "yeah, life is actually pretty cool" and it's just really damn uplifting.

This doesn't apply to Cave Story because it did its endings pretty well, but all those other indie RPGs that try to be all intellectual with their edgy true endings can suck a dick.

I feel the same about sunslammer
That deserves to be the opening song on the revised Homestuck tv show if we ever get one

God those albums had some good shit on it. I think I tuned out after Volume 9, when the albums started to get megabloated. Did I miss anything good?

It was executed pretty well.
Any average JRPG would just keep the Mercy button and have the response be "It seems talking won't work in this situation.".

Well...you basically got that ending by doing what the game wants. I mean it does ask you not to play it again because you essentially got the best outcome. Not sure how impactful it is to get the cliched "my friends are my power and love saved the day" ending just from essentially following the rules. It's not much different from any other game.

Not that a game can't have such an ending. I just find it odd that people praise this game when it ultimately doesn't do anything new or outstanding. Just sayin'.

Hopes and Dreams/Save the World are the best tracks

i think it's kinda excused by the whole 'asgore's plan' subplot in a way
these monsters all had it built up that if they just got all these souls, then they could be free by a king who really didn't want anyone dead, but just wanted everyone to be happy.
most of the mobs you meet are kids in a way, where you could tell them a funny joke and they fuck off, satisfied, and that made me feel more for them, when they were talking about how they were all gonna be free at the end
also the part about them trying to kill you is undercut a bit by the fact you're functionally immortal
but if that didn't hit the right notes for you, fair enough

i think a lot of praise is overblown for it. it plays with the meta concept of it being a game fairly well, and since that concept wasn't something especially mainsteam, a lot of people blew it up into some grand magnum opus of all video games forever hey give it to the pope
however, i think it's unfair to imply that something has to be fantastic or do something new in order to warrant praise.

Undertale was only ever intended to be discussed for a few months after release and quietly forgotten. Unfortunately for everyone, that's not what happened.

to me it was being able to do a genocide and a pacifist run what made me really love the game. the pacifist run was generic but it was done amazingly well but genocide was something a rarely ever experience in vida feeling bad about doing bad thing i will never forget when i one shoted tori or when i killed papyrus or the hype that was the undyne fight or the sans fight so i dont think undertale would be as loved with out the genocide run

FINGERS

>just from essentially following the rules
But the rules are
1) Kill enemies
2) Get exp
Like any standard RPG.
You only get rewarded with the happy ending if you subvert the genre's expectations of you.
I don't know about you but when I was younger, there were plenty of times where I felt bad for killing enemies, such as the little bandana guys in Wario Land Shake It.
Undertale essentially teases the idea of be-friending those cute little guys that you would typically be forced to kill, and I like that. It's an inviting concept.

I suppose the execution of it all was what underwhelmed me. I can't get over a character like Undyne chasing after a child to impale them with spears then give her the benefit of the doubt later. At times, it's as if Toby couldn't decide if the underground is a dangerous place or a goofy one and then he just fabricates reasons to make the monsters sympathetic that don't really add up.

I know about the whole immorality thing but I don't think that mitigates the problem in my opinion.

Originally, the game was a rote RPG with no ACT/MERCY mechanics and Toriel was meant to die. You could say he originally wanted to replicate that bittersweet tone.
I think Asriel/Flowey's character has remnants of that.

For me, a game like Bravely Default did meta so well that Undertale just paled in comparison. And by the time Undertale released, we had Bravely Second and that did an even greater job at meta!

I can see him going this way with Deltarune, considering how your choices don't matter and all.

>people actually discussing undertale and not shitting on it

This is a good thread.

not that user but i get why you think that but for me i got why undyne did what she did being trapped for who knows how many years will drive anyone to try to do what thy did and i think you being merciful reminds then that thy are not actually evil

Stanley Parable broke me of being impressed by meta in games, because it exhausted pretty much every conceivable way to be meta

i wanna know if deltarune is not connected to undertale why the fuck is gaster leitmotif all over deltarune?

It is not a direct sequel to Undertale. It's like an AU.
What is Gaster known for doing?

I mean the "be a superpacifist no matter what" rule.

And I get the idea of befriending monsters instead of fighting them. It just shouldn't be compared to other RPGs because those monsters aren't exactly showing your characters mercy either.

>or else there's something wrong with you
Where did you get that impression?

Watch people take the constructive points they made of Undertale, and treat them as flaws when they get applied to Deltarune.

Is there any good music in Deltarune aside from The World Revolving?

was in undertale he created the core and he fell in it and got shattered across time and space and he is all over deltarune

you sound like one of the people who can have things ruined by oversaturation.
i feel bad for you — not trying to be condescending— but it must genuinely suck to have stuff that's otherwise good ruined like that.
If i'm wrong, my bad.

I think it helps that the game itself addresses this.

>Despite whar the others might think, things up there might not be as nice as things down here. There are a lot of Floweys in the world.
>Don't kill, and don't get killed. Sometimes that's the best you can hope for.

It's not the oversaturation, per se, but what that oversaturation entailed. Sans has been reduced to a meme the way Shrek has. I can't even seen the original Sans when I look at him anymore, I can only see Sans "do do DO do" Undertale, the man with the blue slug penis.

My problem is that whatever mission she was on is immediately cast aside once you give her water. And this is following the part where you might've saved the Monster Kid. Right in front of her. But that doesn't stop her advance.

no offence but im so happy im not like that even if the internet "ruins" something it dose not affect my opinion on it

Oh yeah, telling people they don't have a choice sounds a lot like something you'd say when accepting inevitable tragedy. Could definitely make for a more dire tone than Undertale, considering UT's central notion of choice/determination runs counter to being loaded with shit you can't do anything about.

ya

They like the Demo you dumb faggot, the actual game is okay, but the people who enjoy it are Tumblr tier retards.

Why does such great music have to be trapped in such an autistic weeb game?

The underground was meant to be dangerous and goofy. I don't think that it's 'bad' in any way to mix the two.
And I think 'fabricate' is a bit disingenuous in this context. The entire story is set up so these monsters are literally trapped underground and are coping with it in different ways. Fabricate gives off the idea that Toby didn't think about it until he had to get to a certain plot point, and i think it's evident that the didn't do that:
Most of the monsters up until Undyne aren't trying to kill you, that's how they have conversations, via their souls. And Undyne's whole shtick was that she saw herself as the big hero girl who was going to save everyone by killing you, but then eventually found out that you're not some monster (ironically). The monsters in the CORE are trying to kill you because you're their enemy as dictated by years of Asgore unintentionally hammering in that you're their salvation from this dying world. It's not presented as a good thing that they're trying to kill you, but an understandable thing.

But you're right, the immortality thing only mitigates their actions from a meta point, not a moral point.

The mission was stopped because she was conflicted at that point. Some kid who is a big evil thing in her head just saved her life for all she knows (in actuality someone drags her back to her house even if you don't resuscitate her). She goes back because at that point, fighting you is a waste of her time and she's dealing with all of these Confusing Emotions that have popped up because you're not acting like the monster (again ironic) that you're supposed to be like.

I say fabricate to stuff like this because it comes off as forced. We never see an example of bullets being used for communication at all. Since most monsters can talk. Instead we see bullets used as weapons. Or they just hurt without meaning to, like in the Mad Dummy fight.

>Some kid who is a big evil thing in her head just saved her life for all she knows (in actuality someone drags her back to her house even if you don't resuscitate her).

This is it, isn't it? The endgame. The conclusion to vidya.
This ending will deconstruct the very concept of PLAYER INPUT.
God it's gonna be so fucking kino.

You never SEE bullets used for communication, but there's a lot of talk about how the human soul is VERY fragile when it comes to magic, as opposed to monsters. See Papyrus' fight, where he is basically just playing a game with you, and puts you in a bed when you faint from exhaustion, because he sees you as his friend playing a game with him at that point rather than an enemy, as indicated by his dialogue.

And as to the second point, I'm honestly starting to think that you're delibrately misunderstanding me a bit here. She was conflicted at the point in which you saved the monster kid, as indicated by her slightly listening to the monster kid post-fall, but still the bedrock that she had built her entire personality on was to murdering you and take your soul. She WANTED to see you as a villain because that would make it easier. She even has a brief line about how 'You didn't trick her' by saving that monster kid in order to make her spare you. At the point when you go out of your way to dump water on her head to rescusitate her, it's a bit hard to rationalize that you're some evil animal that needs to be put down when you did something entirely for her welfare after she tried to murder you.
I'm all for talking about the errors in the script, but you're really just taking stuff that you don't remember properly and trying to base an argument off of it.

undertale >>> all other tracks
youtube.com/watch?v=EBhFHJMVfiI

It's kinda hard to describe how, and I've stopped rec'ing Undertale because of that.
The dev is a high profile EB fanatic, made romhacks and fan music from a young age. Because Mother is a major part of the creator's identity, you can feel it's ghost hanging around. There's a insistence on the writing carrying the whole thing, the humor is light and contemporary, gameplay is archaic looking but also unique, and it's in a simple/naive style.

hold up
deltarune's leifmotif is commonly don't forget
why does the menu then contain a melody more strongly associated with undertale, specifically, once upon a time
why does the menu show the trio in front of a fountain we haven't seen
so why is the music associated with another game, playing over what is clearly a scene we haven't seen before, titled fucking BEFORE THE STORY

I can't listen to this song because it's literally too emotional and a lot of the time I'm just not in the mood to go on a feels-trip.

I meant, "stopped rec'ing Undertale based on that"

It's common knowledge that Kris, Susie, and Ralsei are the "don't forget" trio Sans had a photo of, the trio we all assumed were just Sans, Papyrus, and Gaster before Deltarune happened.

I can't listen to this song without hearing the "Through the Fire and the Flames" lyrics.

Volume 9 was the worst numbered volume, and one of the worst albums overall, it's fucking absurd how bad it in compared to the rest. Not sure where you're getting bloated though, considering Volume 5.

The only other Volume to have come out is 10, and aside from some people complaining about the number of remixes, it's one of the best albums they've ever done, it's great.

Preach, I think that was the last page I truly enjoyed from the comic, though it's been ages.

Papyrus is unrealistically nice, makes me hate him. I pray DR makes him an asshole in some why that also justifies his unbridled optimism. Make him a psychotically maniac, so it justifies being mentally retardily happy, and you can also appear to trannies with brain problems too

Both are true.

Based

"Reenaction" isn't a word.
Try again.

Nothing even changes in the dialogue or the scene at all whether you kill her or not, it's written to be ambiguous as to whether he even knows her fate, yet the symbolism of her death is there in the throne room just in case there's the context for it to mean something. I can't decide if it's genius or toby just couldn't be arsed to make that part be branching

God damn, god fucking damn. I'm still not used to this song.
It's a remix of the first song you ever hear, and initially it was such a playful and goofy track that played before you had any clue what was going on. But after everything that happens, all the events that take place, this song comes back with a booming new rendition and my god it just fills you with so many different emotions all at once.
This game came out in 2015 and all these years later, the soundtrack still effects you as if you are in the heat of the moment. You just don't get desensitised to the music, it has so much fucking life and soul.

>what is a thematic reprise

For all they know, humans are naturally hostile, children or not. It's your job to either convince them otherwise, intimidate them through force or get rid of them altogether.
None of Cave Story's endings were about despair or bittersweetness. There's a bad ending, which is not really dark but rather "hey fuck you for choosing this", there's a normal ending, which is happy other than the fact that Curly and Misery are dead and Ballos is alive, and there's a "true" ending where you can basically fix everything.

This, it's genuinely kind of brilliant design when you start up again and Flowey taunts you about knowing what you did establishing the meta story.

Wasn't megalovania just ripped from deleted earthbound songs?

Yes user, all the monsters know is that they were imprisoned underground by the humans, and that life was better when they were above ground.
You can think of the monsters as white nationalists and the humans as literally any race that's not white. They hate it and treat it with hostility because they don't know any better, and once you show them that humans are capable of more than just evil they grow as characters.

But none of that works if you give in to the fucking stereotypes and hatred and attack back. If you attack then you prove their theories right. You have to set the example that shows them they are wrong in order for them to change.

The Ace Waters version of Bergentruckung is pretty lit.

No, it was inspirered (actualy inspired, not ripped off) from song megalomania from jrpg live-a-live. Firstly, he used it in his hack. Then reused it in homestuck. And then in undertale.
For 90% of encounters monsters don't even know you are human and don't think that bullets will hurt you.

I agree that none of the endings come off as especially bittersweet, but I'm guessing that what user meant was that defeating Ballos won't bring King, Toroko, the dragon hatchlings and all the other innocent lives that were taken back.

Asgore was the peak boss battle in that game IMO. It had a perfect feel to it, and the set up of "two reluctant foes fighting because they have no choice" is amazing.
The later bosses like Flowey and Asriel are too over the top for me and use tropes I've seen in tons of other media. They literally the "LET'S USE THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!" trope that has been done to death.

For some odd fucking reason, it ain't available

This fight was fucking great. Very nice touch that you could remark about how many times he's killed you before.

He'll rip off this part from P3 (close DW permanently and/or forget it exists to stop notChara or whoever is the big bad guy) then make a final chapter where you refuse to let go

>But none of that works if you give in to the fucking stereotypes and hatred and attack back.

I dunno, that sounds one sided to me. So a rampaging fish lady can chuck spears at someone but the moment that person takes a swing in retaliation, they're branded as evil?

How do you feel about this?

You can spare monsters with low health, you just shouldn't fucking kill them.

turn the other cheek, be the better man, and other jesus bullshit bla bla bla

nah but seriously i liked that the whole game is based around the concept of being able to resolve traditional RPG conflict by just talking things through with enemies

The game will be about the discarded vessel on a quest to kill the autistic kid and save humanity. Deltarune is a HFY story.

Isn't this literally the story of Hollow Knight?

>For 90% of encounters monsters don't even know you are human and don't think that bullets will hurt you.

So...they can't realize when someone is in pain, that's what you're saying. When you consider that they're a natural danger to humans, it's easy to understand why they were sealed away. So why is the point of the game to free them into the outside world again?

Homestuck Megalovania was the only good one

I do too. I just wish the game didn't basically amount to something PETA would do. "Woe are the monsters, being killed by the humans they attack".

Its not tumblr shit though, its literally oldfag Yea Forums shit.

I'm calling it now they'll be a lab level filled with incomplete/dead vessels. And they'll be the first humans kris has ever laid eyes on, dead little semi-humans that all look strangely like him.

...you didn't know this before Memetale 2? Oh my god, why are people putting this guy on a pedestal as if they've never heard music, let alone emotional music before? Other composers exist out there besides Toby Fox, guys. Other games have great music too. It's really not that special?

FINGERS IN HIS ASS

Autistic scalie doesn't like being possessed and really loves pie.

-your eyes lay upon this post.

Well, did it add anything to the story? You make one of them get sweaty and strip to entice the other. Then they leave. Okay. Great. Kind of a waste of time.

None of the "interactions" add anything to the story, you sperg. They're all "creative" ways to prevent a fight. Whether it's petting a dog, making a group of friends ditch Jerry, or telling two guards that they're into each other.

wow, I always thought that guy was saying "GET 'EM"

Critics will call her a bad person. The game won't. Because da monstuhs din du nuffin.

I'm getting deja vu from this argument.

She calls herself a bad person. There are several endings where she's implied to commit suicide out of guilt for being such a bad person, bringing her few friends to harm to satisfy her delusions and keeping secrets because she's ashamed of what she's done.
She gets a happy ending in THE happy ending because like everyone else, she recognizes she's done wrong and wants to change for the better.

Sometimes I wonder how I'd have turned out if I hadn't found this place after hearing it was where all the memes were born, then becoming debilitatingly addicted to mlp, while also gaining some weird, /d/ fetishes after a few months

It adds flavor, like pretty much every other random fight in the game. If every pointless interaction was removed the game would be bland as hell.

Yeah but it only gets me wondering three things:

1. Why did it take a random kid's shenanigans for them to realize they're into each other? I assume they've been together for a some time.

2.I wonder what the reception would've been if the stripping one was female.

3. They left and forgot to complete their mission....

I don’t really care if Susie is a lesbian or not but I don’t think her and Noelle’s personalities mesh too well. Even if Alphys and Undyne have different personalities, the reasons that the two having for liking each other makes sense, but I can’t see it working for Noelle and Susie

I don't know if this is bait or not, but you need to stop. Your intentions are clear to all of us.

well isn't that the eternal debate of fate vs absolute free will? maybe you were always meant to end up here, with the rest of us, or maybe you made a choice to join us, unaware of the ginormous effects it would have on you, your personality, lifestyle and tastes. In the end, our inability to see alternate realities leaves these thoughts as merely escapism from our current choices. We can't see our alternate presents, but we can build or future, so if you daydream of being more socially adjusted, you can instead start planning it for the future. Good luck in your journey user, I'll be here if you wanna stick around for a bit more.

ok

Oh do explain what my evil machinations could be. Until then, I literally have no idea what you're talking about.

Better than Megalovania.

>Why did it take a random kid's shenanigans for them to realize they're into each other?
you obviously have no experience with homoromance, plus its expected from them to act manly/serious because they are royal guards

Does that usually involve two people ganging up on a kid then realizing they're in love? And I'm not sure if they mention the fact that they were held back from expressing their feelings, just that they NOW realize they like each other in that way...

now youre just baiting at this point, actually trying to compare a videogame with literal monsters with irl relationships? are you retarded? but i will bite:
>Does that usually involve two people ganging up on a kid then realizing they're in love?
yes, exactly like that
>And I'm not sure if they mention the fact that they were held back from expressing their feelings, just that they NOW realize they like each other in that way
ever felt the romantic tension between two friends that see each other and like each other very much? probably not, but let me tell you, people wonder about romance and what coulve-beens, and some other people have a hard time expressing their feelings, to the point they might never even talk to the person they are infatuated with (not what happens in game but it happens a lot irl) so its not so implausible for this to happen ingame, i think it was a nice touch
>because one of them took off his armor. Hmm.
its silly because its a joke, you see this kind of dogshite in a truckload of manga and anime and other types of silly media

I want to fuck Ralsei's tight (girl) pussy and cum in her womb as Kris walks in, shattering his stupid autist mind as he sees me dominating an avatar of both his mother & brother.

>Now youre just baiting at this point, actually trying to compare a videogame with literal monsters with irl relationships?

Um...but you literally just said:

"You obviously have no experience with homoromance."

>And some other people have a hard time expressing their feelings, to the point they might never even talk to the person they are infatuated with (not what happens in game but it happens a lot irl) so its not so implausible for this to happen ingame, i think it was a nice touch

Sure, but it's not made any better by the fact that this confession came from one of them stripping and enticing the other. Doesn't really come off as heartwarming.

>its silly because its a joke, you see this kind of dogshite in a truckload of manga and anime and other types of silly media

Are you assuming I don't think it's stupid there either?

My man

did you really expect the joke to be heartwarming?

There are lot of good games with soundtracks that are just as good. Mother 3 comes to my mind

But man, Toby is a fucking genius of video game composition. His music is eclectic, evocative, and it feels like another element of his games (but all of these fucking jams are very listenable when not playing the games too)

Why can't you faggots remember that it DIDN'T solve everything? Asriel is fucking dead.

>At some point people started to feel insecure of having spaces between lines, because Reddit does so.
Reddit doesn't have spaces between lines, reddit and most forums like it require you to press enter twice to make a new line. There's literally no reason to type this way outside of those forums so doing it here means you're a redditor that's doing it out of habit

Undertale is nowhere near Earthbound, no matter how much it tries to be.

And Chara was powerful enough by the end to take on at least a six souls ASGORE so it would have been cool
