It was. Boring gameplay, boring visuals, and a boring story. The only thing it got right was the characters, who were varied and fun.

It was a total chore to complete the game. Was I happy I did? Hell yes, but no way am I going to do it ever again. How this game got so popular is beyond me.

Boring gameplay - not important, I played for the story

boring visuals - why do you care how it looks?

boring story - if you think and over analyze, you will see it's more than just getting out from the underground



So, yeah. This game is great, but not for everyone. Well, I guess that can be said about anything.

because its story wasn't what you'd expect going in (unless you let yourself be spoiled from the very beginning, in which case nothing would leave much of an impression of course).
its exactly what most people want from indie retrolike games

Still perturbed that this game beat Red/Blue in GameFAQ's best game ever series. Games that started a franchise, birthed a generation, defeated by a 2015 fad. But I never played the game, and it's still pretty popular from what I've seen. So it could grow to be a timeless classic, but in the context of its time now, that beating Red/Blue? I don't get it. It's interesting though to read less than positive opinions on the game, first time here for me.

It beat Red/Blue? That's a fucking travesty!

I tried to play Undertale. I liked it at first, but then I got really, really bored and just stopped. I tried again recently but stopped earlier than I did last time.
The soundtrack is amazing though.

That's what happened to me. I had to force myself to play it, something that has never happened. Looking back, it wasn't worth it, even though my original post says it was. I think I am just trying to rationalize me playing it.

i was going to ask how beating a 4-hour game could be considered a chore, but you probably did two or three of the routes instead of just the neutral route.

the way battles were a turn-based/shmup mashup kinda hooked me from the beginning. that and the soundtrack kept me going until about the end of the first route, and once i'd beaten the neutral boss i felt inclined to play the rest.

everything outside of battles is very, very simplistic, so i definitely see what you're getting at. probably won't be playing it again any time soon, but it was an interesting experience

Honestly, the MLP fandom isn't anywhere near as bad as the Undertale fandom. I've seen weird shit from both sides, but I've seen the worst from Undertale's fandom.

Simple, because GameFAQs is a terrible site (which has been brought up numerous times here) and Red/Blue aren't good games. The first good main series Pokemon games were Gold/Silver/Crystal.

Exactly what I did. I wanted to like it, but it got repetitive and stale fast. The only reason I even downloaded the game was because I read Sans' character bio on some undertale wiki when I was REALLY stoned, and I was like "HOLY SHIT this is a psychedelic game!" Playing it sober was a disappointment though.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.
