No because it's genuinely more ugly than games with even less budget and the gameplay is kinda mediocre.

yeah up there with Gone Home.
Instant 11/10 indie classics.

>Gameplay merges with storytelling
Why is Undertale praised for this, when it in fact completely fails at it?

The mechanics are completely disconnected from the narrative. In other rpgs, non-violent conflict resolution is handled through dedicated mechanics like stealth and diplomacy. Undertale just has this completely abstract bullet hell mini game. How does that even make sense?
The twist is supposed to be that monsters are actually peaceful and just afraid of you. But then why do they immediately try to murder you? Why don't they approach you peacefully first and see if they can reason with you? Or at least run away?

Why is there a village of monsters who don't attack you? This village is inhabited by monsters interact with you peacefully, so why can't the other monsters do that?

Why are you labeled as a genocidal maniac for fighting back in self-defense (and since the game has invisible random encounters, you can't avoid these enemies and you get assaulted by them just by walking around)?

The whole thing falls apart under the slightest scrutiny.

I honestly don't understand the appeal of Undertale. The writing and humor is so painfully forced and tumblr-y (or whatever fandom this thing originated from). It somehow manages to be more obnoxious than a Borderlands game. I didn't laugh once during my entire playthrough of it, but I rolled my eyes countless times.

It will also age terribly because of alll the dated pop culture references. Like, there's one part of the game where that scientist interrupts you with messages/calls every few steps you take, which is obviously parodying Facebook message updates. Not only does this show a child's understanding of how comedy works, but that segment is excruciating to play through, because you get interrupted every few steps.

no but I still enjoyed it

Yes.

No but it’s easily better then BOTW, DMC, Soulsborne & Persona

Am I the only one that played it for 15 minutes and was like "wtf is this shit?" and deleted it?" I guess I'm not woke enough to get it's meta-critic of gaming and society.

What did Mother do that was so groundbreaking and influential? It's just a generic jrpg.

That's kind of the point

Cry more, Souls game have always been irrelevant garbage

The only truly revolutionary RPG these past years was pic related. Think about it, it's a game with no human characters whatsoever, and very little in the way of story. The sole thing propping it up is the gameplay and progression throughout. It may not be perfect, and can be repetitious sometimes, but I'd like to see even one RPG get close to how well this was done.

I assume because you don't like it?

It didn't show any "meta-critic of gaming and society" shit 15 minutes into the game, other than Flowey being a cock. You just judged a game by the first couple minutes of it, is all.

Yes, the fact that it makes Yea Forums contrarians seethe in rage after 4 years proves that it’s a masterpiece

Congratulations, you're the target audience for Undertale.

I just like the music. Everything else boils down to "lol random humor" or (((woke))) politics. No, I'd say it deserves maybe a 6. The combat was interesting for a good 20 seconds and the first 5 minutes of the story was interesting.

No.

You dont get a perfect star for an attempt. "What it tried to do" is utterly meaningless, and all it tried to do was copy Mother 2 and 3 with minimal effort. Bioware does not get 10s because of "what they tried to do", so why should Undertale?

Funny how she tries to bounce them for the camera, but the shit aint moving a bit.

Western AAA games are always pieces of shit that’s why, indie games are consistently good

No, the game is really neat but people need to get over the honeymoon period before attaching scores to everything.

Linear, no depth, minigame bosses, 4/10 at least the music is good

This but unironically, Undertale only got its first massive surge in popularity thanks to the lack of another minor game autistic kids could feel attached to.

To whoever reviewed it did.
Aren't these scores just a reflection of someone's personal opinion? Why do people put any weight in to them?
Oh yeah... Shitposting.

Cope more

So was the whole first scene with Toriel just a red herring of the atmosphere of the game? after that I expected a serious tone with some interactions that would give you feels and shit but exactly after that point it goes all weird and crazy?

Most big publications the writer is not the one giving the score

SANESS.

>that pic

I'm sad now.

It knew where it's strengths were, made the most of them and didn't overstay its welcome. I absolutely think it deserves a 10/10.

>Set in then contemporary America
>Followed a child making friends along the way to defeat Giygas
>Had to collect pieces of a song to defeat final boss with power of lullaby
>Final boss was really just a pet raised by your great grandmother
>Part of the game takes place in her consciousness
All this without retarded meme spewing skeletons, goats and lesbian robot

Yeah, it was everything it was supposed to be.

>someone helped her set this up

I don't know.
never played it and never will

Yeah.
Honestly, it's always hilarious entering Yea Forums threads and seeing people get SO upset about the game.

undertale is such a sissy game

i don't know how to explain it, it just feels so "safe"

It's literally made to baby you into making the "safe" and "correct" moral decisions.

>For what it tried to do, yeah.
what, rip off actually good jrpgs from the past? there are countless other indieshit rpg maker games doing that and tumblrtale is hardly better.

No wonder why it's fanbase is full of queer/tranny ass furfags

Fuck no I was actually disappointed with how fucking gay it was. It was just cringe tumblr shit and NOTHING more.

Mother was great but it was tedious as fuck user.

No. Like if you're not a tranny
