Undertale

I can't believe there hasn't been an Undertale thread yet! There's an "Indie Games" thread but I'm pretty sure Undertale is big enough to get its own thread. So let's talk about it now, and if there's anyone on UPN who might like it and still hasn't played it, now's the time.

Undertale, made by Toby Fox (the guy who composed for Homestuck), is a game with retro-styled graphics and music. The gameplay is reminiscent of most RPGs, like Earthbound and Chrono Trigger, and the battles are bullethell based. You can play the game with keyboard or controller, though at one point having a keyboard becomes slightly useful but is not necessary.

Your personal choices impact the game. Like...big time. The story is amazing, but the game shines most brightly in the Golden Ending. Also know that the game doesn't hesitate to break the fourth wall where saving/resetting is concerned. It will remember if you, say, kill the first boss, reset, then spare it. Don't worry, this isn't really a big problem and the gameplay doesn't change...unless you go for the Worst Ending (which, don't worry, requires you to actually try to go for it), in which case the effect is permanent on every following playthrough.

The game's got lots of in-jokes and references to stuff.

The games has the best story out of games I've played, easily rivaling TLOU, MGS3 and Mass Effect 3. It's got the laurels to boot, winning IGN's, Destructoid's and Yahtzee's GOTY, and also IGN's Best Story. It has almost no ludonarrative dissonance whatsoever- the game and the story match up all the time, leaving you with no worries of acting like a dick on the golden ending or vice versa.

Due to the nature of the game, it is very easily spoiled, but I think the little I've said has to be said to attract anyone. While I was really tempted to make this thread "anything goes" with a big warning in the front page, I decided against it - so just be careful when discussing the best game ever! (At least, that's what Gamefaqs says )

I learned about this from clicking around blaze's sig.

It seems a lot darker/more mature than I would have anticipated given the art.

It can either be really dark or insanely saccharine depending on how you play.

Even the Golden ending is...really, really dark. It's got its saccharine moments, but it's made up by the fact that you know it's no children's tale.

And can I just say the OST is absolutely amazing. Holy shit Hopes and Dreams and Undertale. (Don't google the OST, youtube comments have spoilers and shit.)

I really love Undertale and I hope we get a Mother 3-esqye sequel or a game similar in style from Toby. The witty humor, pop xulture, and the loveable characters are amazing.

I was thinking about it, but one of my buds is super against having anything of his (pictures, videos, voice, etc.) put on the internet, which sucks since he handles the second melody, which is pretty prominent in most stuff we did.

Also we're still terrible and need to practice, but I do want to put it up eventually.

Guys the entire album of Determination is fantastic. I'd buy it but you know, poor. Especially recommend Wrath and Cowardice(ASGORE remix), Catharsis (Hopes and Dreams remix), A New Home (Undertale remix) and MOST OF ALL Ingress (Ruins remix). Like, holy shit, Ingress.

I haven't had time to do a Genocide Run yet so I'm just tiding myself over with the Bad Time Simulator.

Finished my first run, a True Pacifist run.

This remix of Save The World and His Theme is pretty cool.

(Totally not posting because I remix on that site, no)

If you haven't seen it yet. This fan animation series of Undertale is quite amazing. I teared up at the final video as if it were the end of the pacifist run.

So I'm not sure how many of you know this thing but it's been up for a while now, I first saw it a few months ago but I came across it recently and felt the need to share.
Its animated pretty well, and on the starmen forums the creator apparently wants to make more of these(?)

Sooo a lot of people in Skype chat were discussing how Undertale: UPN EDITION!!! would work. This is a rudimentary list and a work in progress, but still a hilariously perfect list tho.

(Characters may be spoiled in this spoilery spoiler)

Spoiler: show
Frisk: Hanatori

Flowie: Zora

Chara: Daisy

Toriel: ABL

Asgore: Muyo

Sans: Rangeet (LOOK WE COULDN'T FIND ANY BETTER SANS/PAPY COMBO OKAY)

Papyrus: Kindrindra

Undyne: ???? (can't find an Undyne for now)

Alphys: Yuki

The Amalgamates: Every single banned member

Muffet: Emilia

Mettaton: Deebs

Dogamy and Dogaressa: CB and Okiku

Burgerpants: Blastoise

Bratty and Catty: Talon and Kuno

Royal Guards: Slash and Dave

Shyren: Rue

Woshua: Trot Away

Aaron: Josh

Moldybygg: Mozz

Nice Cream Guy: Lit

Flame girl: Luka

Grillby: Luka's dad



I'm sure I missed a lot of people that were suggested in the Skype chat itself, let alone any other suggestions. So have at them, but if you really need to pick a bone over your character, beware that we don't really have the guts for it.
