[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;49475765]that sounds heavily like TBOI, and postal was into that game too, hosting op and shit. what is it with him and childhood trauma based games, is that why he became moderator?[/QUOTE]
I'm just a sucker for indie games
And also yes my mother tried to sacrifice me to God and I escaped by jumping down into the city of monsters under our house, so both games are v relatable to me
Didn't really like the game other than the likeable characters and the soundtrack
It feels like its just trying to break the norm and the way it plasters "HEY YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL ANYONE" literally everywhere is just stupid. The creator didn't want people to spoil the game yet that's pretty much what he did with that.
[sp]Plus in the genocide run which will make people feel like a piece of shit you have to kill EVERYONE. Most persons won't be able to achieve this if they're going in blind without looking at a tutorial for genocide and instead they'll get the neutral end.[/sp]

Huh I don't remember the game constantly reminding you that you don't have to kill except for the very start with toriel and flowey? What all are you referring to. Also I don't really see how the game telling you that you can play through it without killing anyone is the same as plot spoilers. Seems pretty reasonable to me for a game to do that, especially given its the core mechanic of the game imo
To be fair, even if you kill a single monster, [sp]Undyne's pre-battle speech involves how you're a murderer and doesn't believe that you even killed in self-defense; a murder's a murder and you have to pay the price.[/sp]

I meant not in the game. The store page description is literally just that. "Only RPG that you don't have to kill anyone in"
It might be a core mechanic but if there wasn't this description that says that you'd get a ton more people that will be surprised when they try to play it like an actual RPG killing everyone, because right now newcomers will clearly guess that doing the exact opposite is how you should play through it.

The guy has to find a way to make his game stand out from the crowd. I don't really think it's that unreasonable tbh. In a perfect world yeah it would be cool if everyone could go in blind but this game would've had a way harder time getting off the ground if it just looked like another standard indie rpg to everyone glancing at the steam page. Games touting their defining feature is kinda the norm I feel, so I don't really mind it.

It's advertising what it is. You blaming the advertisement now?

Everyone likes RPG's with a good story. It wouldn't really make such a difference to have a different description
But yeah I rest my case, the game itself is alright and the soundtrack is even better

It wouldn't really make it stand out. Kid fallen underground where there are cute monsters? Hi there, Cave Story. It'd probably make people [I]stay away[/I] because they'd say 'oh it's a clone, I don't want to play a clone.'

Reminds me of one comic I saw where Frisk was pretty much damn-near blind until getting a pair of glasses and realizing that everyone in the underground is, in fact, a monster.

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;49475699]plot spoilers
so like [sp]why aren't we spoiler tagging "frisk" because you're not supposed to know it's their name until the literal end of the game and I think it's a pretty big plot point that you're not who you thought you were playing as[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]I assumed it was similar to how you can name your character in Pokemon Red/Blue, but they're ultimately/officially called Red. It wasn't until I read someone saying "the greatest twist was finding out you didn't name the protagonist at all!" that I got it spoiled.[/sp]
