Undertale is vaguely charming, clever in how it handles the story via replays/saving, has a pretty good soundtrack, and has probably the most insanely retarded rabid fanbase of any current game.

The last one is probably most of the reason a lot of people don't really like it, which I can't really blame people for. The creator seems really insanely goony and he seems to have indicated horror at the fanbase he has inspired on occasion. IF he ever makes another game he will likely be eaten alive by said fanbase for it not being a sequel, or being a game that doesn't hit the exact same beats as Undertale.

yeah the fanbase is really awful. personally i refuse to let a lovely fanbase ruin my enjoyment of a thing though

I have no real nostalgia for 2D RPGs which I think is why I haven't tried it yet

I also don't tend to play the same SP campaign repeatedly

Really? A little while back I got linked tweets from him reacting in horror at people tweeting him creepy fanart, and him specifically hoping that the game would "fade away" after its popularity waned instead of creating a "cesspool" of a fanbase.

it's very short (like 3-4 hours) and a lot changes depending on which run you're doing. even the fights that are the same are handled completely differently depending on whether you're trying to kill your opponent or spare them

undertale does stuff that makes you think "hey that's pretty clever", and has more of those moments than I expected and I'm not even done with it yet (juggling games) and that's a lot of why I think it's neat enough

Undertale is supposed to be a childrens story. Its about a ten year old who gets transported to a hidden realm and has to escape by fighting monsters. So a wacky skeleton that likes spaghetti is a perfectly reasonable addition.

DEHUMANIZE  YOURSELF  &  FACE  TO  BLACULA
A survey of 2,001 American adults completed by the Pew Research Center has found nearly half of Americans play video games, but a much smaller group of people self-identify as gamers. Pew says 50% of men and 48% of women play games, but an average of 10% of adults call themselves gamers.

actually the whole survey is really interesting: http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/12/15/gaming-and-gamers/

undertale is so cheap though that even if you don't like it, you've likely spent more than $10 on worse things

sure but

spending the time to actually play it when you could be doing anything else is the issue

i mean like

i chose geneva as my hub city for euro truck sim, because i spent a while there on study abroad a few years ago and love the city. outside of lake geneve, there's nothing even remotely geneva about it, it's basically just Generic European City that happens to be next to a lake. compare to the amero truck sim gameplay, which actually has unique landmarks for different places. if they can keep that up in a lot of major cities than that is good

you'd think that in this day and age you could scrape Google maps for a basis on which to autogenerate some cities - most cities seem to have pretty accurate models of a lot of buildings.
