Honestly I don't see the point in complaining in the first place.

Sure, the undertale fanbase here seems to like posting pictures and stuff about it (and it's typically appropriate for the context, but w/e), but they haven't really given any reason to be hated (yet).

I mean, the game does seem a bit overhyped, but the game's alright and I can see why people like it. You don't see people bitching because someone made a champion montage and mock the LoL fanbase for it here.

We don't really have the right to say other Fanbases suck.

Oh, we do. We do have the right, just like the pot has the right to call the kettle black.

SAO ABRIDGED SO GOOD

IcyPepper1 votes

Oh, I know full well where that's from :3

Honestly better writing than the original SAO, for some reason.

"Hey, are you going to put your sword away?" "YOU CAN SEE THAT?"

aítch1 votes

It's called having a plot... Something the original SAO forgot to have

IcyPepper1 votes

And character development.

How SAO Abridged made a somewhat sociopathic character likable is something I'll be pondering for years.

Yeah, I don't get why so many people keep saying that Undertale is so 'cancerous'. They pretty much never have proof of what they're trying to say. But people just generalize and jump to conclusions like the idiots they are. [zombie-brand-clap]

I don't really think it is cancerous... more of a plague really it spreads like a wildfire at the most inconvenient of times and has a tendency to derail entire discussions

Steven Universe Fanbase sucks worse, now get off my lawn you darned kids!

I personally can't imagine why this game took off. At first glance it just looks like a sorta pretentious "classic" indie game that's tries to bank on the popularity of Earthbound and saying it's paying homage to it. There's all kinds of weird things about it I see and hear, like with how the Crowdfund run was not so good, the game has furry OCs inserted into it, they have a sense of "tumblr appeal" in it, all that stuff.

Not that I'm going about the place hating on it, but it does seem like the opposite of what I'd want to get into. Forgive me for not wanting to see any of it in a different game's message board, but it's not all too bad. You guys have a good setup for yourselves; reminds me of the global butthurt storm that was MLP back in 2011-early 2013. Those were the golden days.

Ralanr1 votes

It's the storyline and characters apparently.

Unpaladin1 votes

That's what I thought as soon as it took off. Seeing this kind of takeoff from a video game is a little out of the blue nowadays, so I figured it may be the setting and all the crazy things about it. It really sticks out, and while I don't know how it happened, it totally did.

At least Steven Universe isn't being posted on this board; even though there's a lot of UT posts showing up in different places at least it's not, well, Steven Universe. Good.

"furry OCs" technically Toby Fox couldn't really refuse: he offered to include your character for any donation above 100$. So yea, he got some prety weird stuff. But he hid as bonus, ridiculous, commonly hated bosses the OCs that were originally intended for porn, and instead made cool elements of the story those who actually had some depth.

The Undertale fanbase doesn't annoy me like the FNAF fanbase does

Unpaladin1 votes

The Steven Universe one can be a nuisance, too. SJW's really came out of the closet hard on that one and that's the kind of thing that stifles merits and can be really hard to forget.

It's a funny little predicament that FNAF isn't to be be taken too seriously and yet here we are. I can't believe FNAF even got popularity outside of it being a cheesy game. Darn you, Living Tombstone...

what even is undertale? never heard of it.

and besides you don't have to be a fan of LoL to like playing it

kitcat3001 votes

Never played it either. My understanding is it is an 8-bit style RPG game, though its main premises is that despite getting into constant fights, you don't have to kill anyone.

The ending changes depending on weather you killed none, some, or everyone.

There's obviously the easy target of furries and politically correct/progressists, but really everyone who agrees to put any attention and empathy in what they do likes Undertale.

I recently got the game...it's alright, and it's really strange for an RPG.

Maybe I'll really enjoy it later on, but i don't think it's absolutely incredible yet.

~~ Besides, I'm already obsessed with Hyperdimension Neptunia and those damn sales~~

I mean this sincerely, I'm glad I'm somehow avoiding this so-called Undertale fanbase, because I just got that game and got a few hours into it. S'alright so far, but I wouldn't call it Earth-shatteringly awesome.

But if there is this fanbase out there, I don't wanna see it, because I hate liking things that are either mainstream or "cult".

There is a very comfortable middle ground between those two things, and I don't want Undertale ruined by being too liked, even if it's by a relatively small number of people who like it too much.

That middle ground is key. Like, say, being someone who misses Titanfall because it really was a great freaking game, or very much preferring Chrono Cross over Trigger, or being a hardcore Corpse Party and old-school horror game fan, or owning a Vita without a 3DS and without owning any new-gen consoles, or believing Nami is the sexiest champ in this entire game, for some examples.

Pff, hipster.

About the topic at hand: I've completed the game once, and I can defenitely see why it's popular. Without writhing a 5000 word review, I think there are two major selling point:

  1. It's different. Regardless if a game is good or not, simply by breaking the mold and doing something differently then other games, offering a (relatively) unique experience is often enough to get a game attention.
  2. Good writing. Most of the important characters in the game have a pretty great personality. There are no straight up stereotypes, and I feel like all the characters have a great depth and often a duality to their personality.

Oh, and the humor is awesome as well. During one section I got atacked by tsundereplane. I complimeted her wings. She called me an idiot.

looks up "hipster", that's like the third time someone's called me that and I never knew what it really meant

The hipster subculture is one of affluent or middle class young Bohemians who reside in gentrifying neighborhoods, broadly associated with indie and alternative music, a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility (including vintage and thrift store-bought clothes), generally progressive political views, organic and artisanal foods, and alternative lifestyles.

OK, I'm safe. Nearly all of that doesn't apply to me (especially the organic foods thing, because I'm asked to buy that stuff a lot whenever I go grocery shopping, but no way, I'm not paying extra money for less milk at the supermarket for something that is, as far as I've ever been able to find out or personally experience in my nearly 30 years of life, completely identical in every significant way but the damned bottle it's in), and none to a significant extent...

...so aside from the colloquial use of the term of not liking things that are liked too much...I think I'm safe.

But back on-topic (that was a heck of a tangent, though), cool. Game works well with Steam Link, too, which is a nice feature to have. I still feel like I'm working on Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed, but I get the feeling I'll never be able to avoid spoilers for whatever happens.

Well, I was kinda using the term jokingly. In my personal dictionary a hipster is someone who avoids being mainstream just for the sake of not being mainstream. Also, someone who would never admit being a hipster nudge nudge

It's been one week, I'm necromanc....necromancing...reviving this thread, because I keep feeling nagged as I read it over again that it went way off-topic because of me.

Two things. One, I haven't touched Undertale at all, because I couldn't avoid spoilers. Just wasn't possible after a point, really, not the way every Internet forum is now.

Two, I half-finished Neptunia U, but I'm getting (totally literally, by two of the characters, that series does not mess around with the fourth wall) taunted about all the post-game content. And oh man, there's a lot. Which may have never really been a discussion as much as a passing mention, but I'm just emphasizing that the prospect of actually advancing in Undertale just became even slimmer with the big spoilers.

And this is after I got the game to work on my TV with a Steam Link and a properly-configured controller. I need to motivate myself again, or it's gonna be Fatal Frame 2 all over again, as in, I'm gonna put it off for literally years after purchase on some random sale, then it's gonna end up being one of my favorite games, ever.
