Title: Undertale
Post by: theANdROId on November 07, 2015, 08:32:00 PM
So...has anyone seen, heard of, or tried Undertale yet?  My cousin recommended I look into it because I love Earthbound, and because it's been getting ridiculously awesome reviews.  I've played it a bit and I totally freaking love it!!

Check it out here and see if you're interested!

I did, and loved it too.

If you like it now and (I presume) haven't finished it yet, just you wait. It'll blow your mind.

Yeah I believe for a little while it was the highest rated PC game on metacritic, though it's dropped for a 96 to a 93 now. I've not played it yet but my friends who have seem to adore it.

So here's a rundown on how to get the other two major endings:

I would guess neutral is probably what I'm already doing?

Yep, on the first playthrough the only endings you can get right off the bat are neutral and genocide.

Finished my first playthrough last night.  Aside from a few story revelations the neural ending was alright.  I'll go for pacifist next.

Maniac Mansion inspired?

Ohh this looks cool.

I used to love maniac mansion! It honestly used to scare me!

I haven't played it but I did look at a lot of playthroughs of it. Its nothing at all like Maniac Mansion from what I have seen. One can be easily fooled that this is an old school SNES RPG. The creator Toby Fox was heavily inspired by Mother 3 (Earthbound 2) when he made this game. I'm actually dying to play this game. I suppose eventually I will.

On another note the soundtrack to this game is incredible in my opinion.

Yeah, the soundtrack is really great. I haven't been able to get much into the game itself, though...I got to the second boss or so and got a lil bored. Maybe I'll pick it back up sometime, though ;o

Great game. Knows how to hit you in the feels. 'Course, now you have hipsters hating on it just because it's popular.  :P

That's exactly what happened to me in the first few minutes. Just keep at it. It gets way better.

What I like about this game is how the bosses have their own unique gimmicks as well as the ways you have to overcome those attacks to beat them in a pacifist way.  What I also like about this game is how the first boss effectively teaches you how to play pacifist, which is a nice thing as well.  Even common enemy encounters are entertaining due to the flavour text.  I haven't tried

yet though, so that's a part of the game I haven't experienced yet.

Ok I played it and my only gripe is that I beat the game within 2 or 3 hours if that. It was fun for what it was but I guess I hoped for more out of it than what I got. The game does feel incomplete as hard mode was more of a joke rather than an actual quest.  The game does have some appeal however. I guess that is why Nintendo devs are dying to get their hands on it.
