[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;49627118]How bad is Undertale's fanbase?[/QUOTE] Looks like you haven't been on tumblr for a while, I see.
[QUOTE=Zender Troop;49627126]As bad as Sonic's. You know, r34, inflation, OCs, etc.[/QUOTE] That's not really true. Looking at the usual places like deviantArt and stuff, the front page still has waaaaaaaay more weird Sonic and FNAF shit than Undertale.
And as a game, Undertale is way better than FNAF or modern Sonic games.
This is going to be biased from me, and I say this as someone who's visited tumblr all of one time a couple years back but I really don't get everyone saying that fanbase is bad. 95% of the posts I see complaining about the fanbase never say why, or giving reasons that literally every other fanbase has to deal with. Like SU I know is bad because I constantly hear about how fans of the cartoon go for the throats of everyone who draws any character remotely off model but never heard anything that bad on UT (yet)
Dismissing the game entirely on the fact that the fanbase is bad is really stupid. It's not just an Undertale thing, lot of people do this with lots of games/shows/movies/etc., and it's just silly. Like if you have genuine faults with parts of the game, that's fine, hell I love Undertale but it's FAR from flawless. But saying it's bad because of what some morons on tumblr said makes no sense.

Like I regular the Undertale and the SU threads here frequently and SU's is much better.
witcher 3, undertale, and fallout 4. lmao whatever happens there's gonna be drama. Can't wait. also is there even any other fanbase that has a bad rep like undertale's does, and is still relevant? Can't think of any lol. It's pretty much got this one in the bag.

I guess they feel they'll just ~magically transform~ into one of them if they happen to like the same things lol.
Oh my jesus Konami is going to almost certainly win EVERY award for being a shitty developer and causing video game drama. And most likely MGS:V is gonna get both good and shit awards

I enjoyed the game a lot, so I don't have much time, I've said my goodbyes, and I have my brother ready to put me down when I start showing signs of becoming one of "them".
[QUOTE=RichyZ;49627764]it's pretty great how you can play a game a certain way and it pisses off almost the entire fanbase when they see you playing it that way see when any high profile youtuber does a genocide run on their first go, the comments are wonderful[/QUOTE] That is super shitty, but to be fair, that's just backseat gaming in general.
[QUOTE=Fapplejack;49627632]Undertale was easily my favorite game of 2015 and I still think the fanbase is complete shit. Like I regular the Undertale and the SU threads here frequently and SU's is much better.[/QUOTE] I uh, repeat the "never explain why" thing. Like for Steven Universe I frequently hear stories about the fans sending death threats to each other over disagreements and the like, or how some girl was nearly pushed to suicide over drawing Steven too skinny or something along those lines. That's what I'd call a totally shit fanbase. Undertale has a big fanbase and there's a lot of cringe inducing things in it like that infamous Ask Humantale thing but like I said, it's all stuff I've seen in other fanbases and the like and hardly makes it stand out to me unless I'm missing something. (Which is why I'm asking for some clarity instead of just "it's bad fanbase" )
Every fandom on the internet is naturally shit. Get used to it
[QUOTE=CrossNgen;49625976]Shitty movement and unresponsive combat[/QUOTE] Not sure what you think it wrong with the combat but I can understand what you mean by the movement. But if we're going to start criticizing Witcher 3 for its movement then people need to start taking my complaints seriously when I say that GTA4-5/RDR/Max Payne 3 have some of the clunkiest fucking movement systems and can cause some seriously frustrating moments, especially in MP3 (I get that max is an old fat drunk dude now but holy shit dude could you get up [I]faaassttttterr[/I]) Literally the only benefit that they provide is that you can't make your character skoot around like an idiot, but hey, when you can skoot you can also turn on a fucking dime.
you all need to vote crypt of the necrodancer best ost right now [video=youtube;40kBkxknDGk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40kBkxknDGk[/video] [video=youtube;PHm_NiSdrbc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHm_NiSdrbc[/video]
But MGSV, Splatoon, and Hotline Miami 2 had some pretty great music.
This was a pretty ace year for game soundtracks
If it's anything like other /v/gas some random anime porn game will "ironically" win a bunch of awards alongside anything Metal Gear related. Still going to watch it and love it.

[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;49624873]undertale goty all years[/QUOTE] undertale most overrated game more like
[QUOTE=Fat White Lump;49628846]But MGSV, Splatoon, and Hotline Miami 2 had some pretty great music.[/QUOTE] Not sure if you guys have heard of this game, but Undertale had pretty good music.
Gotta love the people mass dumbing any mention of Undertale outside its own thread lmao. They're even more triggered than anyone on tumblr ever will be. It's going to be a tough fight against Splatoon, Necrodancer, Hotline Miami 2 and Undertale on best soundtrack. Considering it's /v/ HM2 will probably come out on top.
I don't feel that it's fair for HM2's OST to be picked, since most of it is independent songs used in the game, rather than created for the game.

Not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to this but at the same time it got way predictable. When there is one unique game that gets a lot of praise from gamers it usually wins every positive award it's nominated in. Sometimes it was two such games.
[QUOTE=megafat;49630419]They get dumbed down for the same reason every "10/10 GOTYAY" post gets dumbed when a game is popular. We get it, it's good.[/QUOTE] I'm not talking about "HOLY SHIT BEST GAME OF ALL TIME" posts, it's when I see people casually bringing it up on FP there's usually at least two or three people who get pissy about it. It happens with a lot of non-circlejerk popular games and it's getting pretty annoying.

Ori and the Blind Forest should get at least a nomination for best soundtrack because it's fucking lushhhhhh [quote][video=youtube;WwN1MEjUeGk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwN1MEjUeGk[/video] [video=youtube;eaiJKLROq5M]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaiJKLROq5M[/video] [video=youtube;O6rCpWMHEOw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6rCpWMHEOw[/video][/quote] Oh and best aesthetics while we're at it
Was voting for Worst Character, then I remembered the main character of Hatred's name is... 'Not Important'. Can't wait to see what makes it to the voting stage.
