If nothing about the game's charm or humor has taken for you by this point then the more 'interesting' parts of the game later probably won't change your mindIt being my 9th favorite game of all-time aside, this is pretty accurate. It has a super-defined target audience, and if you aren't the target audience, you're gonna know pretty quick.
She talks about how good the story is, but I haven't really seen much in regards to story as of yet (just got to a snow town). All I know is I'm some kind of kid that fell into a hole and wants to go home or something, lol.
Nor people who put focus into gameplay over narrative, since it's such a mechanically simple game
I couldn't disagree with this more strongly
Undertale is a ludic masterpiece. It's one of its strongest aspects, in fact -- the intermixing of gameplay and story is what makes it such a memorable experience and without it it'd land a lot less hard. There's a reason tons of 'boss fight' mods exist for it too, like for example Undertale RED. It holds your hand a lot early on and if you stay on the 'correct' path, but the deeper into it you go the less true this is. That one fight (you know which) made like ten hours of my life vanish in a flash and I can't say that a game that did that has weak gameplay.
I'm surprised it took 17 posts for someone to make fun of the typo.
sorry i'm not a wrestling fantypo didnt register for me until here
I really thought the original post was going to end with Mankind getting thrown off Hell in a Cell.
I'm tremendously disappointed.

i just have no idea how to engage with a post like thisYeah like...obviously Undertale isn't for everyone, but I get the impression that there was minimal effort made to actually engage with what the game is presenting. Perhaps as a consequence of basically being forced to play.
Ok, so what am I missing?
A flower wanted to kill me. I was rescued by a monster who then wanted me to stay with her forever because she was worried about me. Most of the monsters aren't actually bad, they just want someone to talk to.
After I leave the first area, I run into some skeletons and dogs that are supposed to stop humans, but don't really take it too seriously.
The writing feels like it targets preteens who are into quirky Disney shows. And if the story is simply, Monsters aren't bad, I kind of got it.
I will finish it, so maybe I will "get it," at the end, lol.
I'm just trying to figure out what my character's motivation is. Am I trying to save the monsters from the humans? Is there an evil plot that I haven't seen yet? Or is the story basically, "the friends we made along the way?"
Baku, have you watched Ted Lasso? If so, what was your reaction as you were watching the first few episodes?I would, but we don't have Apple TV. Maybe in the future.
