The only reason I'm replaying again is because I thought my ending wasn't happy enough. I want to reunite Mettaton with Napstablook this time.

I really need to Undertale.

I'm very worried you guys are overhyping it, though.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

That's what I thought when Tumblr wouldn't shut the fuck up about it like they did with Frozen. Then I played it. Didn't want to make the same mistake with Undertale that I did with VII.

The biggest complaint I have is that there weren't enough puzzles.

Well, I'd better play it next week once Uni finishes, before I end up playing the game by osmosis.

Norm's last comment is interesting and something I'd agree with.

Like, how I've been exposed to Undertale is interesting. First I saw of it was an Awkward Zombie recommendation, I watched a trailer and...

In all honesty the trailer itself didn't give the best impression. Shades of "meme game" but those weren't exactly my thoughts either. I thought I'd pick it up for a dollar in steam sales a year later. That sort of thing.

One other thing that bothered me was how a lot of people would react to people not playing the game they would play. Which seems to fly in the face of what the game looks like it does well itself. Although this was after I decided I was going to play the game so it's a bit different. Plus it's not a problem with the game itself.

And then tumblr exploded and everyone started to talk about it and I looked into it a bit more.

The actual steam page was a far better advertisement than the trailers for me. I particularly liked the review quotes.

I am very, very interested in playing it, but I won't be able to for a bit. On one hand I think this is will allow me to be separated from the hype somewhat and play it more objectively so that'll be interesting.

On the other hand I'm worried that by not playing it until said time, I will A) miss out on the undeniable fun of the Big New Thing at its height and B) learn too much.

Already I know "too much" even if I actually know jack shit because Undertale seems really designed as something you go into blind. The very fact that I know multiple endings exist is too much to truly experience it. If I wasn't aware of that I'd probably get some form of neutral at the end, through some mistake or other, now I know to "aim" for endings. Let alone the other stuff that's more explicit I've run across (cheating save scumming is something I have been looking for in a game for a long time and it would have taken me completely off guard if I didn't know).

Undertale actually looks like a game I'd be potentially interested in writing about too. Tying back into the point about Big Things before, I can potentially talk about a video game while being in a similar boat to everyone else bloody fuck. (SMT I love talking about but I've actually never been able to be in this position with... anyone. I've always been a "guide" to SMT with my friends, the games I most like to talk about are years old, etc. etc. Similar case with JJBA)

In conclusion I'm taking care not to let the hype define the game for me in either direction

also i'm gonna play genocide and none of you can stop me

fuck this is a whole lot of tl;dr what am I doing

I guess this is catharsis at the end of studying?

it's okay guys I won't self indulgently ramble like this again for at least three days

Scrolling through the reviews.

This game is like that one day when you were sick, so you didn't go to school and your favorite cartoon series was on a 24h marathon, and it was snowing, and it was actually two weeks till christmas, and you were getting your dream Lego set, and you were cuddled in bed, and there was pie, and you just played video games all day and oh my god im crying

Play this game. NOW.

now i'm sad again

because I get the feeling that the different paths contextualize and strengthen each other

genocide is more painful (and more dramatic/cathartic) once you've played another route

pacifist is sweeter for being aware of the alternative (bringing with it stronger victory)

and I would personally feel like I wasn't fully... engaging with (?) the game if I did not

I will Do My Best not to

just to clarify though I most likely will aim for pacifist first

and definitely won't go for genocide first
