That Megalovania one is extremely fun, I listened to it like five times in a row when I first found it.

I'm not sure this is really spoiler-worthy, but I guess it doesn't hurt either way:
Genocide is exceedingly different and unsettling by the standards of anything presented in Pacifist, but at the same time a full completion run of the game is pretty important to the overall picture.
It's up to you how you wanna play it but as much as I loved Pacifist I do think I appreciate the game a lot more having 100%'d it as much as a sane person can (you'll still wanna google secrets and easter eggs even if you do beat Genocide, a normal human being can't trip all of this stuff)

Undertale is evil!!!!!!!
Which dog?
Why is the soundtrack so damn good. The Core is even better than the last few tracks *_*
Im gonna have to wait till I finish to buy the soundtrack. Each new theme is like eating a cookie that just gets tastier each bite.
Also when you hit the 700 club, you know you've made it.
STOP CRUSHING PEOPLE'S HOPES AND DREAMS
maybe
Since Kirito, in all likeness, will likely be stopped 150 times by UU and 200 by Sans, it's just one timeline in 30'000. Knowledge of how it has really gone down and how to prevent it is worth one timeline in 30'000.

We all know he would do a genocide run if he ever played the game.
I think I'm gonna throw down the towel and steal a savefile or something.
I know I can do it but
surviving sans last attack is so goddamn hard
Stealing a save file to complete genocide is an unprecedented new low in evil-doing. Congratulations.

You don't even have to do that, as there's a save editor floating around.
I don't know how this works with the Steam edition, so I wouldn't touch it, myself.
No kidding, im at loss of words.

Stayed up til 5:30AM finishing up Pacifist run. What a game this is :3
"This is the best track I've ever heard"
*gets to new boss battle*
"No wait, this is the best track I've ever heard."
*several areas and battles later*
"HOW can this keep getting BETTER?!"

It's called acting darling.
I was curious so I tried it myself for a bit. I could bypass it, but I reverted back to my old save. I'll let time decide if I'll continue or reset for an all yellow run.
For now I'm done playing the game. I still like to watch playtroughs, so I'm not done with the game yet. Crazy game.

How ironic is it that he talks about video game violence in the context of a game filled with scenarios that actively encourage non-violent play?
if i had to answer, i'd say it's very ironic
it's almost they have no idea what they're talking about

Game is pretty linear, and it's about 6-8 hours approx.
It's about 6 hours for one playthrough. The entire game is a straight line and the gameplay is simple and easy to understand, so it's easy to pick back up.
does anyone know whats happening to vinesauce joel's chennel?
what do you mean?
Should probably mark spoilers a little better then, no?

Got a friend to start playing this and they're already really digging this, which is a pleasant surprise since they're not big on RPG's and don't have much of a connection to Earthbound. Have any of the more mainstream gaming sites picked up on Undertale yet? I reckon with enough of a push it could be a Shovel Knight-style breakout hit since it's super accessible.

The degree of coverage that Undertale receives feels like the exact representative we needed to demonstrate how poor traditional video game media is. Seriously, the only games that compete with it in terms of review scores are Metal Gear Solid V and The Witcher 3. And as far as new IPs go this year, I think only really Splatoon competes with it in terms of how successful it was.

I tried looking it up in the IGN search bar and it basically thought I typed in "Undertaker."
Game was pretty solid. I didn't see what was so special about it for the first hour or two...starts pretty slowly...but it gets progressively better, in my opinion, and I was absolutely loving all the meta stuff at end-game.
Awesome soundtrack, battle system, and obviously, Papyrus.
Thanks, Toby!
Edit: God DAMN that
fight....
However, I did NOT feel like completing the entire game again, so I just sort of YouTube'd the true Pacifist ending and continuation. Awesome stuff. I know a lot of people are going to tell me I was missing out on a lot of cool callbacks and references to the first time I played, and I guess that's true, but hey...I got stuff to do. = D

I can agree with that. Things do not pick up until you get to the waterfalls. But yeah it really does tug at you because neutral Asgore. I ran through it twice and that was enough for me.
It is sad when a gaming blog like Kotaku covers it more than actual game news sites.
Every time I see Andrew Goldfarb post on Twitter I want to yell at him to play this game. He loves Earthbound and Koromaru from P3. Earthbound fans seem to love this game and it's full of so many white dogs so it sounds like his perfect game.
Out of everyone at IGN he should be playing it.

I find it weird so many people were meh about the first hour or two. Even if it wasn't as good as the end it still hooked me and drew me in. I don't find any part of the game to be weak; I thought the beginning was good too.

I remember watching a YouTube video where the guy's friend gave up after the first 5 minutes. Was hilarious. But yeah, in this ADHD generation build-up like in Paper Mario tends to get more dislike than in the past. I get the first hour is meant to draw you in, so I was fine. Then you are running away from spears and it gets real.

Okay so this comic is EVERYTHING spoilers but I think it hits an appropriate area that sort of bugged me when people discuss this game. Here's a link since it's LONG and spoilery.

Edit: Holy shit that might be my favorite Richaad cover so far. Oh my god it is glorious.

I really REALLY like this comic because it always kinda bugged me that people shit on Asgore so much and use the game using him as the heel of jokes to shit on him a bit more. Asgore was in the wrong or at least wavering in his beliefs and does a lot to mess up a lot of things in the game. But I never found myself hating him or making fun of him or NTRing him like all the fanart loves to do.
Basically because he went through some enormously FUCKED UP shit. I'm not gonna say his way was better than Toriel's avoidance but I don't think she has such a high horse to sit on when talking down to him.
Asgore is a fantastic character that people give a tad too much shit too. This comic made me really fucking ache inside.

I finally got through a run of this game, so I should be safe to hang out here now, right? This game's incredible! I mean, I know some people are overselling it, but if sites like IGN are barely acknowledging it, I can understand why people want to get the word out. Besides, it makes sense people would try to hook new players that way, seeing how its heavily inspired by the Mother games and that's basically what U.S. Mother fans did for almost-literally decades.
Anyway, I have a question about the Run I just did, and my "Attempting to avoid spoilers" approach to answering it just confused me. I did a Pacifist Run, but
Do I need to start an entirely new run? Or is there a way I can go back,
, and get the Pacifist Ending without starting over? Either way, I'm satisfied with the ending I got, but I know it's not the "GOOD" Good Ending; if I have to start over, that's going to bug me. That's not to say that the game's not incredible, though. Because it is. "Best Game of All Time" might be overstating things, but honestly, between how good it is, and how weak this year has been for me, this is my Game of the Year, barring Mario Tennis if it's secretly hiding a finished game underneath that one stadium we've seen so far.
Anyway, I have a question about the Run I just did, and my "Attempting to avoid spoilers" approach to answering it just confused me. I did a Pacifist Run, but
I couldn't find Alphys after beating Mettaton, so I couldn't "date" either of them before fighting Flowey. I know that Undyne's supposed to give you a letter to trigger that date in a second playthrough, but do I have to do a second run now? I think I met the other requirements, since I never earned any XP, and befriended Undyne and Papyrus. And I know that Alphys is the key here, since Flowey flat-out said so after I spared him. But he sent me back to the final checkpoint; I don't know if that's so I can go back and fix things, or to let me know that I can't go any further without restarting.
Do I need to start an entirely new run? Or is there a way I can go back,
befriend Alphys somehow
He should have told you that you can go back to your old save file and befriend Alphys now. Just go back.

Reload your save and go to hotland, you'll get a call to trigger the sidequest for the true ending.
