Undertale (No Spoiler Warnings)

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-01 03:02:41

A thread with no spoiler warnings. Be warned, but just this one time

I'm not joking.

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-01 03:03:03

Now, any Gast-Sans theories

Aliroz · 2015-11-01 04:08:16

Gast is Sans' and Papyrus' elder brother.

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-01 04:48:00

He's a medium-sized skeleton.

Alduin · 2015-11-01 04:50:00

I hate Flowey

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-01 04:52:31

I don't get spooked by things very often but Flowey is very spooky, even if I knew what was up with him.

Seeing him scream at me always gets me.

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-01 16:39:11

It's more of a laugh, and knowing doesn't help that much

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-01 16:49:07

Also, it bugs me that most of the cover-stuff on youtube is based around Megalovania

I mean, ffs, it's already one of the more popular songs in Homestuck. Spread some love to the other songs

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-01 17:27:38

...though to be fair, the new version is a lot better than the old one

less squeedilly guitars, maybe

Yeah, concurred.

Toby Fox made it sound like there's a lot more to come ("shrouded in darkness" as the key phrase, both in the kickstarter and when talking about Gaster on twitter), so I'm just waiting for that to happen.

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-01 17:34:29

I'll also accept Gast being their skelementor

"Alphy's history books made me think humans were cool...with their giant robots and their flowery swordswomen."

The heroine appears.

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-02 14:14:06

PASSIONATE COOKING

Beating Mettaton was super hard. I ended with no health items and 1 HP.

Alduin · 2015-11-02 14:41:47

...did anyone else notice Flowey following you around

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-02 15:00:58

I did. It was freaky.

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-02 15:40:21

And now to play Floweytale.

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-02 15:50:56

I didn't think I could lose Floweytale.

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-02 15:52:06

You can totally lose Floweytale

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-02 15:55:41

At least it sends me to the last phase, but I've lost for the third time already.

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-02 16:07:41

I beat Flowey. Die, bastard.

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-02 16:45:49

The Undertale track makes me want to cry.

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-02 16:51:05

I already know one person who's cried to this game. You wouldn't be teh first.

Tanya · 2015-11-02 16:57:50

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-02 18:07:03

Going to import an argument I found somewhere else

Was Genocide really meant to be played, or rather, should it be played? On the one hand, actually going through with Genocide goes against the whole moral of 'do you really have to see all of the game in order to be happy' thing that the Pacifist ending has going on. And the game actively encourages Pacifism whenever you end with a Neutral/Good ending, while Genocide is something that you actively have to try in order to get. But on the other hand, Genocide arguably shows off the best traits of most of the characters, particularly the new final boss.

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-02 19:09:55

If it's there and I don't find it tiresome to play, then yeah, I'll play it.

I'm almost done here. It's now three in the morning. I'll try a No Mercy Run in the near future.

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-02 19:10:39

I wish we had an option that allowed us to run faster.

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-02 19:33:59

I'm done. I think I love pretty much everything about the game.

I especially love how the game makes you culpable for a lot of things, and how it kinda-sorta lies to you what game mechanics like LVL and EXP are, playing with what you already expect about it.

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-02 21:16:22

Again, I say

Dude, don't do Genocide

Just watch an LP of it.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-11-02 21:48:53

I'd argue that even doing that much is going against the spirit of the game.

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-02 22:00:38

I say it's necessary because there are some good character moments in it

It's not the right thing to do, but it's beneficial

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-03 02:48:44

I don't think it's against the spirit of the game. It's about culpability, after all, and that means a lot when you use that power to do horrible things. It's like, Metal Gear Solid gives you a rifle and a tranquilizer gun. Maybe using the rifle does not play well with the idea of Snake as an unseen ghost, but it's there, so someone isn't wrong for using it.

Alduin · 2015-11-03 02:50:07

Don't do Genocide because it's tedious and easy to screw up

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-03 04:06:06

"When Papyrus never comes home."

I have now done what Yarrun said, and I'm not entirely sure how much I agree with this now, since it really exposes Sans's character in a way that you don't see in the other routes.

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-03 04:53:36

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-03 09:35:06

True Pacifist is so Gurren Lagann.

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-03 12:15:14

Papyrus on a date with you:

Tanya · 2015-11-03 17:02:33

"Likes to say: Nyeh heh heh!" Papyrus says: Nyeh heh heh!.

Obā-san · 2015-11-03 21:27:40

lee4hmz · 2015-11-03 21:29:41

lololol they're afraid of skeletons lolololol

i wonder if they know there's a skeleton inside them right now, shock horror

Haven · 2015-11-03 21:30:23

Undertale deserves the publicity of a new round of satanic panic.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-11-03 21:33:48

I rly hope that's real

Fossilmaiden · 2015-11-03 21:40:47

It is.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-11-03 21:42:53

fuckin incredible

SF_Sorrow · 2015-11-04 02:41:59

I'm still not entirely sure where it's coming from but I'm starting to warm up towards Papyrus/Mettaton >_>

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-04 02:43:44

It's the only ship i've seen involving Papyrus, tbh

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-11-04 02:45:04

Are there even any other contenders?

Fossilmaiden · 2015-11-04 02:45:51

Yarrun XIX said:

Uh, hello, Papyrus x Spaghetti?

Yarrun XIX · 2015-11-04 02:47:20

It'd have to be an OT3 between Pap/Spaghetti/Undyne. Remember who taught him cooking.
