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.

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.

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.

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 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.
