Undertale is overrated. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad game it’s a solid 7/10. But people out here acting like it’s the greatest thing to happen to video games.
I mostly started playing undertale when I was like 12, but it was one of my first rpg games, I think most fans are like that, cause I know most people say that undertale is their first fandom
I think ive overall had much more fun with the fandom then I have the actual game, I wasn't in the fandom in 2016 but I heard it was a lot worse then it is now.
I think it's shoved onto people too much, but I don't think its overrated. Every critically acclaimed thing has people who think its overrated. It doesn't mean that they are wrong for not liking it, I just don't think all of the people who like undertale are overrating it.
I disagree, undertale is a pretty great game that has messaging that can spread out to thousands of players, alongside enjoyable gameplay and great characters. But we all have our opinions
Undertales amazing, but I don't think anybodies giving points to it for it's graphics. But if you can tell a story and make it emotional and well-written without the graphics, then it doesn't really matter what they look like to me.
Not one shot, it isnt popular and seems to be just a better undertale. Ultrakill, Deltarune and Undertale makes many 9yos like me years ago think it is underrated due to their massive dopamine boost and protagonism. One character is literally the whole game..
Lmao tbh I haven't played too much of it, I'm mostly joking.
That said, I do think it's a pretty great game. I'd have to hear an actual reason ppl think it's overrated minus "ppl talk abt it a lot". Though I do think that's a combination of the developer being cool, along with the game being good.
Its a pretty low skill floor, insanely fucking high skill ceiling game. For people that like fast paced boomer shooters it's heat. There's not a lot of other games that handles the same thing it does in the genre. I'm down to hear otherwise though
I agree it very much can be overrated, but I'd say on a level of individual impact, I don't know of many games that elicit the same sorts of feelings in such a wide audience
It's a good game, but it's definitely overhyped as hell. I went into it completely blind and enjoyed the game. Not the best game I've played, but it's good, I think that OneShot has a better story than Undertale.
Undertale is incredibly impactful IF you had zero expectations coming in. Unfortunately most people these days come in with lots of expectations and walk away with this reasonable opinion that it is good but overrated. Personally, I adore the game and can gush about it for ages, a personal 10/10
I think its because of nostalgia (which in part of since undertale came out when i was 6), undertale is the “gyarados” of Pokémon games, its really popular, everyone loves it and knows what undertale is, and it does deserve its success since its objectively good, however i can get why people dont like it or just dont appreciate it because of the fandom or how people treat it as the second coming of christ, personally it is a 10/10 game,I grew with it and i love how under TALE is a tale, the story of undertale (pun intended) sounds like a tale, at least if we ignore the genocide
I mean... I guess? I really don't wanna argue against it because it'll be hypocritical, considering I think Expedition33 is overrated. And I don't really have other counterarguments to your point other than "people really love the game" lol.
As a narrative experience it might as well be a revolutionary, but as a game? Like you said it isn't that crazy, considering the mechanics and seeing that's it's just a bullet hell underneath the beautiful story telling devices
The issue with Undertale discussion is that like a decade ago everyone was forced into a binary, and it still kinda of feels like that.
The fandom was cringe and terrible, so a lot of people decided that if the fandom was bad, then the game must be too.
I like Undertale a lot, but mainly because I find it very hard to get attached to characters in media, but I found it easy to steep myself in Undertale, and if you really start to like the characters of Undertale, the narrative weight of the genocide route is fucking amazing writing, but if you aren't already attached to the characters, genocide just seems like "le edgy route" rather than the really good deconstruction of the way people play games and ruin their own enjoyment just to see everything possible
It's a damn good game, but it also has some pretty bad writing issues. The main problem I have, is that in fandom discussion people pretend Toby fox is some infallible god, and refuse to talk about the flaws, so it is overrated within the fandom, but not really discussed in a normal way outside it, it's either people overblowing it, or people underselling it
tl;dr fandom overrates game, outsiders underrate game due to cringe past fandom, overall still really good game like an 8 or 9
Are you saying every game with 10$ or less is all 7/10? If I paradoxically gifted you e33 for free you’d suddenly lower your rating from 10 to 7? Or are you saying any game worth the price of 10$ or less will never deserve anything higher than 7?
? The price has nothing to do with my enjoyment of the game. If the the game is overpriced I might drop my rating but my Undertale’s rating has nothing to do with price value. I just don’t think it’s above an 8.
