The heck are you talking about?


....oh.
Maybe? I'd forgotten it existed, honestly.

T_T. You said you would play it....

Yeah, but honestly it's not going to be as good as Alundra and I'm practicing new routes for the Alundrathon! :^P I'll maybe get to it this week.

How can you say that wish such confid- oh yeah because it's new... K, i get your mentality but thanks for wanting to try it! I can buy it for you if i have to!

No...not because it's new, because Alundra is my favorite game of all time. (^.^) It is not easy to unseat it, and I highly doubt Undertale will do that.

I have now played it enough to know that I dislike it.

The game tells you you can talk to things and not fight them. Once you start doing that, "Talk" becomes the equivalent of "Fight" in any other RPG, and 'combat' is then super boring/flat/samey.
The humor is 100% not my style, it's Regular Show style which I really don't jibe with.
And the art, apart from the intro...is...kinda..bad...
But the music was really good, and I did buy the soundtrack.

Also invisible unavoidable random battles? Another feature I could barely stand when there was no alternative in games, and now that there are games like Wild ARMs 2 (and onward) which made random battles tolerable, there's no reason for me to go back to that unless I appreciate the rest of the game.

Ok T_T..... At least you gave it a shot and gave an explanation. No idea what you mean by Regular Show style though, It's one of the few games that made me genuinely chuckle countless times all the way through... I trust you made it decently far before deciding it wasn't worth your time..

Oh, and it didn't support ANY controller I owned. As someone whose game has controller-detection code that tries to support everything, that's quite a few controllers. That was beyond annoying, I almost didn't play it at all because of that.

What I mean is, it's just random for the sake of being random. "I'll play my keyboard and transport us to the moon" style random. The flower is evil, spiders are having a bake sale, the rock is HILARIOUSLY sentient, wow.
And I'm not a fan of bullet-hell shooters, so that didn't do it any favors either.
I realize a lot of this might just be that I don't like lots of things other people like.

Huh? It' picked up my controller instantly, I use BetterDS3 if that helps. Sounds like you didn't even make it to Snowdin either.... whatever, I'll drop it. I guess it just needs time to age before being truly recognized, just like SG.

I still love you btw.

I've now gone quite a bit further, still dislike the same things, and it also crashes every time I quit from fullscreen.
There are some good design things. They don't outweigh the aggravating design things (to which I now add wonky collision on lots of objects) or the things I don't find funny. It's really not my style of humor.
Mike_Z
Mike_Z
It's already plenty recognized, witness people LIKE YOU. I'm not sure it will age well, either.
And I don't care if me not liking it would change your opinion of me?
Cheesedragon
Cheesedragon
OH yeah it crashes on quit from F4 for me too. But is crashing on quit even a bug? Either way it does what you want. And my opinion of you will never ever change, my lovely <3.
