Finished it last night and got the super good guy ending. I really appreciate that even though the game has challenging bullet hell style parts it's designed with the fact in mind that probably not everyone who is going to play this is going to be good at that sort of game. Basically if you keep playing you will eventually beat it even if you're going the no EXP route.

So I've been using my laptop to play through Undertale again on the evil route, and in addition to making feel feel like the worst being in the universe that route has a lot of information and story details that are either only barely alluded to or not even mentioned on the good path through the game. It made some symbolism a lot clearer as well. The many layers of detail the story has is incredible. This game is incredible. It's one of the smartest games ever made. The developer really understands the language of games... not just in applying it to consistently clever game mechanics, but the way so much of the meta element and interactivity is directly relevant to the plot and not just abstracted concepts to create gameplay for the sake of gameplay. The developer knows exactly how people think when they play games, and uses this knowledge to great effect, to the point where at times it almost feels like the game is reading your mind. It never wastes your time with pointless filler, never adds content just for the sake of extending the game. Everything you do is significant to the main story thread, and to the characters that it revolves around. Even the music is smartly and cohesively designed. Undertale constantly surprises, delights, and disturbs the player. I don't want to go into too much detail about the game until more folks here have finished it (maybe create a separate spoiler thread later?), but I cannot praise Undertale enough. I'm still in the process of fully digesting it, but I seriously think it has dethroned Deus Ex as my personal favorite game of all time.

Great post, Feynman. I totally agree that Undertale knows the player so well. When I played this game very often I'd say "Huh, I wonder if this combination will trigger something new/maybe someone will say something about this" and I was always rewarded. The game really seems to calibrate itself to your level of engagement. You'll get out whatever you put in, and the reward ceiling is so high. And the lack of filler is astonishing. This is one of my new favorite games of all time.

I'm one hour in and this is what I wanted Earthbound to be.
Also chubby skeleton man that makes the puns is the greatest character ever made and I want him to be my bro forever.

Can we put a moratorium on the huge text because it makes phone browsing a pain thanks I'd like to suggest that folks cool it with the large text for reasons of it looking really obnoxious, phones be damned. =P

Soul is still broken but font size has been fixed.
EDIT: How do I get the BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD ending in the demo? I seem to have only unlocked the intermediate path, despite violently beating to death everything that looked beatable.

You have to grind every room until enemies stop spawning and at the end of the ruins you have to spare Toriel til the very, very last opportunity and then attack her for an instant kill Basically you can't just be a genocidal cunt, you have to be King Dick of Shit Mountain

I must be doing something wrong. EVERY room? I did go back to 'confirm' kills only after I saved at the house. Is there some sort of cutoff?
