It will. It always does. I have seen it countless times before, fandoms always turn into pure shit.

I just sit back and enjoy the good fan creations while they last.

Yeah, I know...Ho well.

I mean...Looking back after finishing this game a week earlier, it does feel also that the game's been overhyped a bit too much.

But let's enjoy the good things while it lasts...

By now I also think that Undertale might have been a bit overhyped. Don't get me wrong, I still think it is a Very Good Game. It's just that initial burst of emotions, that first experience, set off against your thoughts about the game once you've let it sink in for a few weeks and overthought it a bit more. Review scores are usually based on that first experience, and for Undertale it's absolutely amazing. But over time you lower your classification to just Very Good Game rather than the second coming of video game Jesus. It's a natural process.

One thing the game did very well was make you think a lot more about the consequences of your actions, because it won't let you forget them even if you restart. It gives your choices that much more impact. I liked how Bioshock Infinite was meta-commentary on how pointless the choices in a lot of modern games are (ironically including Bioshock 1 and 2), and Undertale takes that to the other extreme by making your choices matter so much you'll forever feel their consequences. (Unless you do a very thorough scrub of your save files.) I really hope we'll see this level of importance in more games in the future.

I am just happy to have experienced the game the way I did. Never before have I had such a hard time taking "evil" decisions in a game with moral choices.

I dunno on the killing part, in my first play though I accidently killed one whimper creature in the first stage and when I got to Undyne she was accusing me of being some kind of mass murderer of sorts, took me a bit out when in reality I only killed a single creature.

I guess it was a case of 0 to 90, with full genocide taking it to 110.

Undyne has pretty big moral issues in the (more merciful) neutral and pacifist runs. She wonders if you're really that evil. She tries to justify it with whatever she can find.

In the genocide run, that's not an issue of course.

Post by **Jacquerel** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 3:03 pm #124698

Remember, the characters have a reason to want you dead entirely apart from "because you are a murderer". They just struggle to justify it to themselves after meeting you (unless you help them justify it).

He's not fat.

HE'S JUST BIG BONED.

In unrelated news, the fact that I've not yet detected any furry OC shoving himself into Toriel or really anyone fills me with determination.
Which is lost because I know the kind of people Undertale attracts.

Just wait for it. It's going to turn into a shithole soon enough.

Which is sad since goatmom resembles realmom to a scary degree.

Alphys is the full fangirl stereotype, complete with crippling social anxiety and a tendency to compare herself to trash (the "selfie" that was just a trash can with glitter)

also during one of those random calls that you sometimes get, she tried to order a pizza from me by text but because I still had the old cellphone it started reading out aloud a full ASCII art picture of a catgirl

I wonder what kind of major malfunction he has developed, and how that will progress with Toriel still hating him.

Imagine being such an enormous piece of garbage even the nicest person in the underground divorces you and locks herself up with her dead son just so she doesn't have to see your face anymore.

Asgore "If you fall in my cave, you'll fall in a grave" Dreemurr

So it's kind of established that Asgore is an idiot sandwich.

But a delicious one, too.

Ricotez · Post by **Ricotez** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 5:51 pm #125492

Asgore is the one who decided to name the original sanctuary of the monsters (the ruins) "Home" and the new capital "New Home"

He is probably also responsible for the names of Snowdin, Waterfall, Hotland and CORE.

He's a big fluffy dum-dum.

I never really thought about this, but it does explain why his attacks have such names as "Shocker Breaker"
