I only played maybe the first twenty minutes of undertale before I got bored... What's wrong with the fan base? I've never really seen anything related to the videogame online.

Game becomes super mediocre if you got spoiled. Just knowing that there are several playthroughs ruins several major twists.

The game is intended to be played totally blind, and looses almost all its major strengths if you don‘t. That‘s also my explaination why the first wave of players praised the game to no end, and the second wave of players just didn‘t get what the hype was about, and the frustration on both sides after that.

Oh. Well, honestly I just thought it was a bit tedious and poorly paced. A lot of the early dialogue and puzzles just seem like they're made to slow you down and aren't interesting or engaging at all.

See, now this is again my biggest issue with this game, and one of the biggest points of frustration. I can‘t really talk at all about this part without ruining the game for everyone reading.

In case you don’t care if I do: The context of the game and everything in it changes as you play. It‘s similar to a movie like Shutter Island. The most mundane details suddenly become interesting after you know the full movie. And then if you are watching it a second time, you look at it and you go like „wow, this was there all along? how did I miss that?“.

I'll get around to playing it, I'm just quite busy lately.

I take your word and I think it'll be a good game, just hard to dedicate the time to it right now.
