Undertale Review
GBAtemp GotY Final Round

 

[Sakitoshi]

Whenever I hear stuff like this, I have to wonder whether the author even played the game. I've been playing Fallout 4 since it came out and I've only encountered a handful of glitches, much less than I expected, having played F3, F: NV or Skyrim. F4 plays just fine, at least in my case.

That's my point. You shouldn't have encountered any glitches to begin with.
Sure, every game has a its own bugs and glitches, but usually are triggered by certain actions that users shouldn't be doing, not by playing the game normally.
Is like people just surrendered and accept that Bethesda made games have glitches and that are meant to be like that.

It bother me that game like this is so popular but game like Ghost Trick and Mother is underrated.

I hate Undertale only half as much as its fanbase. The way they try to make this look like a best game ever bother me to no end. Remind me much about FNAF, thank god it's already end.

Ghost Trick underrated?
Why? Where? With an 83/100 aggregated score, I think it is not underrated at all.
Also, I must say that Mother is a good game, but sometimes it feels like a tedious chore.

PS: We all know that the best game ever is Super Metroid, to the point Nintendo wouldn't release new Metroids because of fear of comparisons. (fuck Nintendo)

83/100 from Metacritic is a bad score.

Ghost Trick should have at least 90/100 for what it does.

Don't be so picky.
Ghost Trick is a great game, I agree.
And 83/100 is a great score also. It could be 90/100, but it's not so far from it anyway.

It's a matter of perspective, not taste. Giving GOTY to Undertale is like giving an Oscar to a backyard film by a no-name director with his cringy family starring as "actors" - it may be well-constructed and fun, but it's not the same caliber.

WHOOOAA slow down there, i think you're giving the GBATemp GOTY poll a little too much credit lol

the Oscars? i think this more like Teen Choice Awards tbqh

 

[ketal]

topkek; undertale is too overrated

 

[Foxi4]

b-but the if the majority believes that a certain game is good enough to be GOTY isn't that kind of a sign that this time YOUR opinion is inferior?

My opinion is always superior, there are no exceptions.

 

[DarkCoffe64]

Undertale... Is winning everywhere...

 

[BORTZ]

lololol what a joke.

You are a troll.

I disagree, VN are games; e.g. Tsukihime is a good gaming experience, even if all its gameplay is a couple of "Choose your own adventure"-style decisions.
PS: In the same vein, "To the moon" is an even better gaming experience.

There could be some arguments made against this. While VNs are games, they just barely walk that line. They are undoubtedly good experiences, but are they necessarily good gaming experiences? I will stick to your Tsukihime example as its my personal favorite VN. Tsukihime's choices are rather minimal, and most people simply use a flowchart to make the choices to advance the way they want to. In this regard, couldn't this gameplay be considered a weaker part of the experience? Likewise, Tsukihime has a very repetitive soundtrack that hardly will keep you engaged with the sound. These things may not take away from the overall experience. I mean, I can't necessarily speak for you as your experience may be different, but I typically say I am reading a VN, not playing it. eg. I am reading Tsukihime. This is because the reason you read a VN tends to be very different than the reason you would play other games. As such as much as I like VNs I would argue that they aren't necessarily good candidates for a game of the year award because they are lacking in areas that make something a game. I may nominate them for best story, and they almost always deserve the award, but a best game overall may need to meet more qualifications

naahh, he is far of being a troll, he is just Foxy4<insert name of company here>(just in case he is defending a specific company, usually sony). he even has a fanclub and his own webcomic(rip in piece console wars: modern warfare ).
I guess you did't knew guild and his razor sharp posts then.

There are only 3 kinds of people who say

My opinion is always superior, there are no exceptions.

.
1. Trolls
2. People who want to hurt others
3.Morons

Foxi doesn't seem like a moron and i don't think he meant to hurt anyone.

you need to update you sarcasm-o-meter then. that was clearly a sarcastic comment or a joke.

About graphics of any game: I don't care how it looks, I care how it plays.

I care how a game looks if it looks like a SNES shat everywhere on the screen.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Foxi4 is a troll now? Oh boy.

Stay classy, GBATemp.

The "but the majority" argument is stupid. I like stuff, because I like it, not because someone else does.
