The thing with Undertale is that it is an emotional and bit meta game without being ashamed of it being either, nor larping or relying to some other medium to tell it's story. That alone is an achievement in the sea of "story-heavy" games where the whole thing is basically an interactive movie without actual choices, usually slapped with the most basic gameplay to be "approachable". No, Undertale isn't some masterpiece that will never be topped, but it isn't just "average" or "decent" either. I think many people view the whole game through rapid fandoms and being oversold it. I feel bad for not mentioning Cave Story, so thank you for bringing it up for discussion, tho people are actually talking about vidya on this thread so I and maybe some other anons have to constantly bump it.
I have seen that many /v/irgins cannot help but view games through some kind of lens that has basically nothing to do with their actual opinion or preferences or the game itself. It might be just seeking for reasons to feel negative as it is quite addicting and feeding "intellectual" view of oneself, thinking they are better when they don't like "bad" games.
Anyway, even if this thread dies soon, I always take a sub-100 post thread with vidya discussion than 400+ post thread where 80% of posters are on pointless flamewar/falseflag/troll/shitpost streak for the sake of it.
Thanks for everyone who posted, I'm not the OP but the one who keeps spamming textwalls.
