>>24986350>The Genocide Route was nothing more than a middle finger to the player and probably a way of Tony Fox saying that his game was superior to other RPGs, but I can ignore that as it's not forced upon the player. How do you mean?
>Best game of the year stretches it and I know that without the massive hype train it rides it would probably not come close.Yeah, pretty much. But it got its own Kickstarter and people have followed it for a while. I think the game exudes a certain charm similar to (I really am sorry here for saying this since everyone says it) Earthbound. I never played Earthbound. I'm sure there are other people who aren't. Undertale is a good entryway into that, especially for the teen crowd you talk about who may not have experienced it.
>Best game of all time is unacceptable and more evidence that the general quality of a video gameThere really ISN'T a best game of all time, though, and realistically there won't be. It's the same for music, movies, or any artistic form. I liked Undertale, but I do agree, it's not even close; I'm not sure what game is.
>by the fluctuating emotions of teenagers and trendsetters shilling their shit rather than level headed mature thinkers who can sit back and process all the angles.Undertale is "a game that makes you feel good", as I read one person describe it. The neutral and True Pacifist endings can really invoke some pleasant feelings you don't get in other games. It's not the only one to do it, but it's cheap, it's written relatively-well, and it's popular.
>We're not on /v/ but it really is interesting to think how this sort of problem applies to pokemon as well.And any fandom. I hate how people say "X fandom is cancer", because there's faggots in every group who spoil it. It's not just Pokemon. Or UnderTumblr. Or Ffff-naf. Or Roodiepie. The cancer exists everywhere, in a small portion of the group, but on the Internet it seems much worse. Go figure.
