So, I've been playing the game not killing anything, about an hour in or so, and...I dont get EXP ever, so I'm kind of...stuck at 20 health? Am I never going to get any exp?

If you never use the fight command, you will never gain exp and never level up. So yes.

In what way?

Minor spoiler on difficulty scaling:
Enemy damage is based on your level. The higher your level,the higher the damage you take to counteract your increased HP. It's not 1 to 1, the game is easier at a higher level, but level 1 for a fight compared to level 10 is not a huge difficulty spike
 
Yep, got it, thanks. Not sure I really needed all the snark and spoilers for a legitimate question.
...but there wasn't any snark.

And some parts of the game need to be put under spoilers for what they do in-game. Sorry if you don't like it but there are others who are trying the game for their first time as well.
 
I didn't mean for that to come across as snarky, sorry.
No problem, my bad for misinterpreting. Your post was helpful, thanks.

Someone earlier spoiled something in responding to my post, I don't mind stuff being in spoiler tags, but I hadn't gotten to the point they were talking about, and since they were directly responding to me about I clicked it thinking it was important information I should know. I don't normally care about spoilers, but people seem to stress how important going in blind is for this game.

Ok, game's done.
I'm a fucking monster

A true modern masterpiece, I must say. I didn't get the real ending it seems. Any way to get it? Feel free to spoil me.

No no

Go back

You guys are missing the best part of the entire game by not doing pacifist runs.

I mean exp is called
execution points
for a reason.

Wow you just spoiled the best twist in the whole game for that guy.

Unbelievable.

I'm going insane here.

I might have an idea of which spoiler you're talking about. Which is completely true that it shouldn't have been spoiled at all.

Its just that your post looked like it meant ALL the things we hid under spoilers to help out. My bad.

Nope, pretty much everyone else (including you btw, thanks) was helpful. I overreacted a bit, but it is kind of annoying to ask for help/clarification about something and get a huge spoiler in return.

Oh it's no worries! We made mistakes and we'll try better next time. I guess you could say that we're all BONEheads eh? Eh?

I'm so sorry.
 
Finished my first playthrough, only died twice
to Mettaton of all bosses
. I thought they handled the PS4 version as well as they could've

Bummed that the crash part got taken out, but completely understand why. Loved that they kept the essay question in the Mettaton boss fight though.

Was sort of bummed out that the dynamic border didn't do more. Was expecting more shenanigans especially during the Mettaton shows.

Edit: (Full spoilers)
Should wrap up pacifist run tomorrow, then I can start on the run that actually makes this game amazing.

Didn't realize till now that the collector's edition ships so late... Why? They didn't plan this out super well.

Did none of them ship yet?

There was a first wave that was supposed to be out by launch that sold out really quick, then a second bigger wave targeted for December.

Beat the game three times,
Neutral, Pacifist, and Genocide.

So, after doing the Genocide run, the screen is black and simply has hollow sounds coming out, like a windy mountaintop or waves on the ocean. Pressing buttons does nothing. Exiting out of the game does nothing. Do I have to wait for the restoration of the world, or am I SOL and have to completely delete my game?

Any help on the above would be appreciated.

EDIT: Never mind. seems that
I just have to wait it out.

Playing undertale right now.

Is it just me, or does the music have Shining Force vibes, specifically the first music.
 
Pro support?

And don't give me that, "It's a pixelated game!" nonsense.

Read Digital Foundry on Sonic or play Mother Russia Bleeds in 2160/60. These kind of games can have far superior IQ in terms of purity and precision than 3D games.

No.

Its a pixelated game that doesn't need it in Toby Fox's view. There has been no news on regards to that.

Sorry for the nonsense.

Performance wise the game is a 1:1 perfect port, don't see how anything could be improved in the pro.

It's a pixelated game. The only reason pixel games sometimes get like a 2% increase in clarity is because they move to integer scaling on 4k. People are getting crazy about this.

a 240p game doesn't scale exactly into 1080p, but it does scale exactly into 4k, so you get a tiny bit better clarity. It would also look 100% just as good at 720p.

Just got the true ending and wow this game is something special. Whole ending sequence was just so good.

Stuck at undertale the end, I assume it's just trolling now.

Also what the hell regarding pro support, it's a pixel game.

Now go ahead and ruin that ending. ;D
 
I got the Platinum trophy! My second Platinum I think!

.....though to be honest, it was a really easy Platinum so it's not exactly worth being prideful about haha.

On a 60" TV these things matter.

Seeing Sonic Mania with 2160 lines matching my 2160 display is a thing of wonder.

Dang, the Dog Shrine is kinda tedious yet kinda amazing at the same time lol. At least it only took a few minutes of mashing O and X to get all the trophies for it.

You are pretty good.
 
I just faced off against
Mettaton EX
.

I had to go online to make sure I actually
spared him though cause I got really worried on how the battle ended. I actually thought I killed him. And I felt horrible about it.

you should just play blind without worrying about anything, nothing is set in stones in this game, but it's a bit late to tell you that, haha
 
I don't know why, maybe it's because I'm almost at the end of everything, but
hearing the monsters talk about the first human and Asriel and just what they went through, plus the fact that the monsters just want to be free, made me feel overwhelmingly sad. Cause at the end, I'm the one standing in their way. And they don't realize it.

It's almost, how would I explain it, melancholic.

I'm hard at work with getting the
Pacifist ending
as soon as I can so I don't want to risk an anomaly in my walkthrough heh heh.

sure that's understandable, that saves time, but i think it lessen the experience a bit (not that much, just a little), anyway hope you enjoy it!

will you do the
genocide ending?

That is one of the most bittersweet and affecting moments in a video game for me. I already loved that song before I even played the game, and in learning more about the song I had also spoiled that for myself. But seeing it all together in context moved me to tears. I'm still in awe of how hard that still managed to hit me, and I can't listen to that song without tearing up a little now.

you should do it, it extends on the story and there a lot of really sad and epic moments, with new music....

if you don't want, at least watch it on youtube, FULLY

Alright will continue, the similarities from Nier is crazy. Did Mr Taro take inspiration from undertale?

Let me know if I should spoiler that.
