Is This Worth It?

Okay so I hear praise for Undertale in some places, but Sup Forums seems to hate it. What's the deal? Is this is a good game or over hyped indie nonsense?

literally who

It's a great game, and also over hyped.

Go play it without getting spoiled and you'll enjoy it.

Game is fine. It's just the rabid fans and the people who mindlessly hate on it who are cancer.

word of mouth, probably tumblr if I remember rightly, some of other places.

I loved it.
If they made a 3ds port I would gladly pirate it.

I liked it. After playing the demo and waiting for two years, I went in with the sole expectation of "even if it's shit at least I get a nice soundtrack." It turned out pretty nice in the end.
Is it just me or are Undertale threads becoming more common as it reaches its anniversary?

It's good, don't go in with super high expectations, and stay the fuck away from the fanbase.

I get the impression that its like earthbound in that it attracts an audience of unwittingly insincere hipsters that, when they meet, jerk it to what they pretend to believe is the peak achievement of the craft. It doesn't help that gross hippie sjw's are a large subset of that group. That seems to be why Sup Forums doesn't like it. It's probably good.

has a great story, great soundtrack, great pacing, and an engaging battle system. it's a great game.

This user gets it.

This. OP you should abandon the thread, actually play the game and decide yourself.

it's alright

it isnt anything outstanding, but it's a pretty fun and shortish game, if youre not in a hurry you could spend 8 or 9 hours on the first playthrough and if youre not having fun by the time you get to waterfall its probably not going to get better for you

not sure what to compare it to but I would describe it as a cutesy rpg with generic but well executed characters and story

or i suppose i just mean past snowdin, because i think waterfall is the name of the second town not the cave after the first

It's decent, but way way too overhyped.

Pirate it and only do one run of it.

It's good. I suggest doing more than one playthroughs if you liked the characters.

For me it was worth 2 playthroughs (neutral and pacifist). Spent about 15 hours on it and had a good time.

Genocide route is designed poorly, even if the concept is cool. Having to glitch the game controls to get those last random battles made me give up and shelve the game.

Play it yourself you mindless mong. Make your own decision. Return it if you dont like it

Just beat it yesterday. Definitely a bit overhyped everywhere outside of Sup Forums. It's a decent game though, would give it a 7/10.

The game is good, fanbase is shit.

Some people love it and some people hate it.
I Enjoyed it for what it was but if you go into it thinking its going to be the best game ever you will be disappointed.also stay away from the fanbase. Its MLP levels of autism.

Its a decent game. Problem is that there are people that praise it as the second coming of christ and act like there are no faults within the game. Hell if you told me something about my favorite game that you didint like I would probably discuss it with you further n stuff. But for some reason when it comes to undertale the moment you mention a criticism regarding the game they will jump on you like a pack of rabid racoons. The game is good. Just dont go in thinking its the second coming of christ.

I played about 2 hours of it recently

I was bored to tears, and the "humor" is not funny at all. Do tumblr actually laugh at these shitty jokes?

After hanging with the skeletons after the tutorial a bit you'll probably know if the humor is for you or not. Hype is always an issue, but it's worth seeing if you like it or not,

lmao Sup Forums loved this fuckin game until they found out tumblr liked it too. just torrent the shit if your so undecided

We had this discussion literally today.

Pic related doesn't go into detail on the game's faults but honestly if it did it would've seemed like cherrypicking. There are few major flaws with the game, but there are definitely polarizing design decisions.

Same thing for me. The combat is something you'd find in a flash game, and I laughed like maybe once or twice, and by laughed i mean I snorted or something.

Its just boring as fuck

i went in to the game knowing about the different paths, why wont anons tell him to at least chose one on the first try so he doesn't have to play the game through again?

It's overhyped, but it's also fantastic. The writing is charming, characters endearing, attention to detail impressive, music absolutely brilliant, the combat unique, and the price for it is awesome.

A lot of Sup Forums tends to dislike it due to the previously mentioned hype and the cancerous fanbase. Also, the game does have some issues such as wavering quality in art, some jokes run into the ground, and some annoying characters. Regardless, the game is still a solid 8 or 9. At the end of the day whatever community exists only should influence how annoying you find trying to discuss it, not how you view the game's quality.

Either way, ten bucks for a pretty awesome little indie game is great. Hell, I'd pay that just for the music alone.

Too much praise. It turned into tumblr buzz content after like a month.
It's an okay game.
It's not that engaging.
Relies on very "safe" and predictable humor.
Has very simple gameplay. Anyone can beat it.
Characters are pretty one dimensional but easy to sympathize with.
On the plus side the music is well composed for chiptune shit, but otherwise it's easy to see why ex-homestuck people and lifer furries jumped right on board and clung to it for like six months.

I don't know. If that sounds good to u give it a download broski.

>At the end of the day whatever community exists only should influence how annoying you find trying to discuss it, not how you view the game's quality.


fucking this OP never judge a product based only in its comunity, the game is grate and you may have a grate time if you dont pay atention to all the cancer that the game spawned

i played totally blinded about everithing including all the shitpost that the game generated from both sides and i liked it alot

undertale is worth playing at least one time
it isnt the best game ever made but it really is something special
that doesn't mean its good either, it has lots of problems
but its fairly unique, or at least it executes its ideas in fairly unique ways
its an interesting little game, sometimes cute, sometimes sad
how much you feel emotionally depends on how naturally empathetic you are and how much music can affect you, because none of the characters are that interesting or developed beyond their immediate quirks and then whatever their current plight is

>It's overhyped, but it's also fantastic
Essentially this. Not as good as people say it is, but very good nonetheless.

For the TRILLIONTH GODDAMN FUCKING TIME, it's a good game, just overhyped and overrated to hell and back.

Shitposters moved on to things like NMS, so for the first time since the first few weeks after it was released, people have actually been able to discuss the game.

This user is correct.

Good game, but overhyped. If you play it don't look anything up about it.

It has a good combat system and the music is great

Story is absolute shit and I hate it's choice system

5/10

In terms of gameplay it is immensely generic, and you might as well play Earthbound.

In terms of story, that is irrelevant and you could just watch a playthrough or read the dialogue and story yourself.

The soundtrack is great. Go for neutral ending first, then true pacifist if you play it

Glad I pirated it

Play it and enjoy yourself

Sup Forums hates anything once it gets popular
