Is OFF any good? Or is it Undertale tier trash?

It's like one of the first ones in it's own niche of indie pixel-art games. Undertale is mainly >oh you hurt thing you mean bad person now
While offs story isn't trying to be meta and it's pretty interesting in my opinion.

Better if you know French

Watch a walkthrough, gameplay's a chore

Play the game yourself and form your own opinion.

What did we do to deserve this absolute fucking banger. Everything about this boss was great.

You know he wont, which is why he said "undertail tier trash" because he never played it. Hes just a drone asking what the hivemind thinks.

It's a fun little RPG maker game. If you can handle RPG maker then you're in for some good old fashioned French weirdness. That element alone kept me going for a while. Stylistically the entire world is so bizarre, from the dialogue to the character portraits to the enemies to the world to the music. And yet it all feels purposeful, like that weirdness is trying to say something. I think it does end up saying something meaningful, though I won't spoil what that is. Some people say the translation is iffy, but I think the stilted nature of it adds to the game's overall atmosphere. If you know French though I'd recommend the original language. Mechanically it's a perfectly straightforward turn based RPG. Some of the names have been changed, but all the pieces are there. It's nothing special in that regard.

But I would like to come back to the music. Some of these tracks will really stick with you.

Undertale is pretty shitty though to be quite frank with you familia.

t. lefty faggot that doesn't care about sjw shit anyway

Peper steak is one hell of a battle BGM, that glitch-swing mess is memorable for years on me
Swing, Batter, swing for the world is impure

i think it's fair to say that most people who would be into a game like OFF probably enjoyed undertale

It's good. And it can't be """Undertale-tier""" trash if it came out almost eight years before Undertale did.

Undertale is good overall

I was just thinking of shitting on this game until you reminded me about this moment.

>interesting story and dialogue
I remember one of the NPCs swearing and it completely broke my immersion. It was like Undertale trying to be Yume Nikki.

>GAME IS BAD BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THE FAN BASE

Oh it's fantastic if you're into weird RPG Maker games. Despite there being very little to the MC, I ended up really liking the Batter. The intro battle was kino.

It's good.

why is everyone comparing it Undertale? because they're both indies? anyway, this game was bizarre and weird but it didn't come off as weird for the sake of being weird. the world is fascinating and the music is just orgasmic. the gameplay is the weakest part ironically but it's definitely more of an "experience".
it also didn't bore me like Undertale

It's very good. I had fun while playing it, no regrets

Because the NPCs swear like it's trying to be comedic? What's the point of a game trying to be an experience if the NPCs take away from said experience.

I don't know. Maybe because they're both oddball indie RPGs? It's a pretty loose connection but that sure as shit didn't stop the fanartists.

Jahpets boss was really great. The build up showing how frustrated he was having built the people an actual safe and calm place only to get no credit for it and then have it plauged by ghosts.

Plus this was the only boss I felt like you had to be smart with items and healing since his damage output was pretty high. Everything else felt like it was just damage sponges with no risk of losing.

>why is everyone comparing it Undertale?
Because Tumblr found it and threw it in to their rape dungeon where Undertale resides. That's pretty much the only reason why Off related content has millions of views on Youtube.

>why is everyone comparing it Undertale? because they're both indies?
no, that's because OFF was discovered and translated by the homestuck fandom

it didn't take me out though. it sounds like it just depends on your personal taste user. i didn't think the swearing was out of place, and really i even forgot there was any. also what does any of that have to do with my post

Good game.

OFF is older than most of posters on Yea Forums probably

Off is the only game where I had to use pen and paper to keep track of stuff to solve puzzles. Weird game, even weirder story. It is french and it shows.

There are absolutely 0 comparison points between OFF and Undertale beyond having an overworld where you walk around and encounter battles. Anyone that brings one up when talking about the other to make a comparison should have their opinion discarded because they don't know shit about anything.
Same goes for LISA.

>undertale is bad
Feeling like a cool kid yet?

They are all three RPG Maker games though and RPG Maker games are kind of always the same thing gameplay-wise.

Look up what Undertale was made in. And don't say "same thing".

Sorry, I'm retarded, Undertale isn't made with RPG Maker, I was thinking of OneShot.

Toby got his start making RPG maker games and Undertale is heavily inspired by games made in it

OFF is pretty good.

As manly as baseball can get. Not at all

Just play it you fucking faggot. The battles are boring, but the puzzles are fun.

I like seeing people try to voice act the characters, sometimes they do a good job.
I unironically liked Markiplier's OFF playthrough.

It's too French to be manly.

That's a good question indeed.
I know that the game hit it's stride around 2013 and was one of the biggest reblogged topics on tumblr back in 2014. Of course if you remember how tumblr was back then, the immense tidal wave of concentrated cancer that exploded from them overwhelmed Georis to the point of never wanting to open up about the game again.

Attached: 1472596451236.jpg (900x900, 141K)

Can't really say he's a one trick pony if he simply doesn't make another game. That expression is really only used if he made several games and only OFF was good.

I'd love to see a sort of OFF "remake" that incorporated some sort of baseball gameplay elements to the combat.

Shit my whole feed was nothing but off, though i think that was earlier than 2013
Then again undertale fandom is garbage but deltarune didnt get any hate when it was announced and turned out to be good, so thats not a thing that can stop devs from creating new stuff.

The gameplay could definitely use some touch-ups, and the dialogue.

You're definitely not wrong, that's a valid point. It's certainly noticeable how many notable RPGmaker games out there are just 'one and done' games done by a single person (Not that I'm asking for them to milk to death or oversaturate what they have)
It's wild to think the game is 11 years old now.

>that anniversarry OFF stream where mortis joked about how batter was a lesbian and zacherie would smoke weed and dab

It helps for Deltarune that it was aimed at and largely caters to people that did play Undertale, and it's not as interesting to streamers because it's a bit harder than Undertale was and there is barely even an illusion of choice (no real pacifist/murder dichotomy even if the game does change a couple of story-beats if you go one or the other)

It's alright. Gameplay is bog-standard RPG maker fare, figure out the one broken move and it works on literally everything in the game. The world and art are interesting enough to carry it.

>Undertale tier trash

I didn't really get undertale's appeal, and I loved Off

so is OFF actually about a father overcoming his demons from his past and deciding whether or not to turn off his son's life support? it seems that way when you think about it, with the batter going through his memories of growing up on a farm and witnessing the slaughter of animals (zone 1), being drafted for war (dedan) and witnessing and dealing out death there, one of his pet cats dying (japhet/valerie) and him going to amusement parks to cheer himself up (zone 2), him getting a mundane factory job (zone 3) after the war and perhaps witnessing fatal workplace accidents, and his son becoming deathly ill (hugo) and his wife (the queen) arguing whether to keep him alive.
it also seems to take place in hugo's imaginative perspective oddly enough, with him envisioning his father as a baseball player because that's his favorite pastime sport, his mom as a sort of princess, their cat's meowing actually being language so complex we simply can't understand it similar to "i am groot", the world not making any sort of sense at all (metal being extracted from cows etc.) with childlike beliefs derived from parental discipline (too much sugar being bad for you etc.), the religious imagery (father son and holy spirit add-ons, key words like "purification" and "uncleanness" and "holy wrath", the names of the characters etc.) stemming from his christian household upbringing, etc.

Watch Mikennemonic's play through of it. He's a jaded fatass who doesn't give much of a shit about anything. His videos are great.

it's a deconstruction of the wizard of oz, don't overthink it

I've always considered OFF to be one iteration of a looping universe that constantly dies and comes back.
My reasoning for this is we see the previous world in the Room, and everything's very different. My theory is that each world has a sleeping god that will be awakened when that universe dies. Hugo became godlike when his world was destroyed, presumably by another Batter-esque figure. I believe the Batter and the Queen are Hugo's personifications of his now-dead parents, and the three Guardians, his imaginary friends. One maybe could go as far as to say Hugo's real father was the one to destroy that prior universe.
The Judge is misled. He has good intentions, and the Batter is undoubtedly evil, but the loop's gotta continue. The Batter kills God since God's a retarded baby who's scared of his dad, and in the wake of the dead universe, Zacharie will create another, as he's the most likely candidate for a new god.

It will be remembered, but at what cost?

The atmosphere is way fucking different than undertale. As people have said the combat is mediocre but if you can stomach turn based combat I'd say go for it.

Any soundtracks like Off's soundtrack? I like the creepy ominous music it has.

fpbp

I'm sure someone else can come up with a better response, but the only one that comes to mind for me is Lisa.
It can be an eclectic range between chilled and laid back to upbeat funky battle shenanigans at times, but some tracks have this looming,
ominous undertone to them.

A lot of the fan-games have music on par or somewhat even better than the original games. It helps that using basic Fruityloops opens up the abillity to make remixes of previous tracks.

It fit his design and personality as a bitter man who got pissed off at how much of a pushover the Elsens are. It made his interaction with Hugo more wholesome and genuine.

There's almost no strategy in battles at all aside from choosing who to attack first. It's literally just use your strongest attack over and over. The elemental weaknesses aren't even worth looking at.

>Actually thinking manually inputting attacks and specials changes anything

Sure you feel like you're playing the game but you're just wasting time. It's like walking to work instead of driving. It's tedium. If the game is so simple that the premade AI can spam A and win why try?

after he specifically confirmed that the batter and zacharie are not gay for each other, he was hung and crucified by the tumblr community
after which, he said he's never making another game
(between this and wadanohara what is it with tumblr trying to harass RPG Maker developers)

>what is it with tumblr trying to harass RPG Maker developers
Teenagers and colleged aged communists trying to exercise whatever petty power they can by wielding the mob mentality. The only good way to answer the question, "Is [Character] gay for [Other character]?" is yes, and they know this. Saying no is just an invitation to be accused of homophobia or erasure or whatever buzzwords you can use to rile up a lynch mob. So you can basically force people at gunpoint to make your fanfiction reality. The actual morality of it is irrelevant, the people riling up the mobs love to destroy things more than they love to be fans of things. You see a lot of the same behavior on Yea Forums, with more of a nihilistic twist. Think of TORtanic posting or Ononono posting. People want to feel like they contributed to destroying something as an exercise of the power process. Or sometimes just seeing something crash and burn is enough.
