The Undertale fandom is kinda uniquely rabid in their defense of their favorite game, though.
If you ever express any gripes with the plot or how it’s presented online, someone immediately breathes down your throat complaining about how you “didn’t get it”.
It’s too tryhard and saccharine for me idk… also seems a bit too inspired by Earthbound. I’d rather just okay the original quirky game than the one that’s trying so hard to be it.. (the music is also trying to do too much imo)
I had no clue about this song.. although at this point, days later I feel less bothered and kind of respect the song 😆 especially considering, according to the comments, Earthbound also used Beach Boys samples.. so it’s like it’s coming full circle. So for this instance, this song at least, I’d give it a pass.
I don’t respect it because the song is specifically sampling songs from the Giygas section of EarthBound that the Amalgam section of Undertale takes obvious inspiration from.
There’s doing a homage through music samples, and then there’s rubbing it in our face that Undertale is just like that other game I love at every opportunity.
I do think the game did a good job of replicating EarthBound’s goofy sense of humor without literally repeating the same jokes, though.
I personally really love the art style and audio of Inscryption but I could see how someone could bounce off of it. First area boss fights are definitely tricky and feel pretty unfair with their gotchas though. Shame it didn't resonate with you, but understandable for sure. I had a good handful of issues with the game, but in the end, I really loved the experience of it. Got no intention to play it again any time soon though.
I feel like it's mostly just terms of taste, i like the artstyle and can see why the droning would be headache inducing, and basically digital magic the gathering with meta lore won't be everyones cup of tea.
yeah im confused the point of that was so you would get up and solve the puzzles in the room, or this person didn't understand what the game was trying to do i guess. bro probably brute forced it lmao
I like outer wilds, but its never quite clicked with me. It's fun exploring and piecing stuff together, but I just think incryption is a genuinely good roguelike, especially Kaycee's mod. I'm actually not too hot on inscryption outside of act 1. But I think if the initial vibe doesn't jive with you, then there's definitely no point continuing.
you're complaining about a mechanic but that was a vessel for tutorial, the comment i responded to has nothing to do with your opinion and whether you understood the point of the mechanic or not. try not to be so hostile
For me enjoying it meant throwing it out of my house. Brainrot of a game. And now my younger brother's playing that other game made by that creep and Jesus is it shit. I respect people who can enjoy such games, because i would never. Instant headache
Yeah same it just looks and plays just like a very low quality 15 year olds first attempt at a game in a game maker program or something. Graphics and audio from 30 years ago, gameplay loop very basic, story is nonsense

The key to enjoying Undertale is not interacting with the fandom. It's a really short game though.
