I liked Undertale and all, but I still think it's not GOTY.
Despite this, these people are ridiculously deluded and salty.
"People like Game-A more then Game-B?!
Even though I think Game-B is better?
They must be cheating!"
Like, I honestly couldn't care which game wins this, but this is pathetic. At least it gave me a few minutes of genuine laughter.

Play super mario 64 again. Not on the Wiiu or any virtual console. Pull out a nintendo 64, with it's single analog stick controller, and try playing the game. It has no aged well at all. The camera ***** around too much and you can't move it while still moving mario unless you want to change your trajectory entirely, and trying to get a single coin that's behind you when you haven't moved the camera is harder than it should be. Mario controls like he has soap shoes, and the textures in the game just do not look good. It hasn't aged. It's an early 3d platformer, it never really had a chance at aging.

Whether it's better than one of the 'classics' is up to each individual though. It's subjective. Every person has their own taste. SM64 in my personal opinion for an example wasn't that good. I played it, I completed it, but that's it. I didn't particularly enjoy it more than the other games I had for the N64.

"BGOAT" is a pretty tall order for a lot of the games on this list, I mean Halo 3? Melee? yeah, it's one of the most technically perfect fighting games ever, but the fighting is all there is, overall it's a little anemic. I'm not saying I don't love the game, I've played countless hours of it, but still. Even Ocarina, I'd certainly say there have been Zelda games since then that surpassed it.

Honestly, to call anything the Best Game of all Time is a pretty stupid thing to say in the first place, because there is no game that has ever been universally loved sure, some were fairly universally hated, but even those have exceptions. I recently met a dude who genuinely enjoys Colonial Marines and thinks that the story is exceptional and there's so many different types of games that having all of these on a list together is pretty stupid. It's like saying "Which is a better book, Dune or The Lord of the Rings?" Both books are equally masterworks, but are different types of literature so an apt comparison cannot be made. They both accomplish exactly what they set out to do equally exceptionally, and since they set out to do completely different things there's not exactly an objective way to say one is better than the other. Although I guess if you wanted to go by their respective movie adaptations, LotR is a clear winner, but let's not bring up the Dune movie

Whoever voted in this is clearly ******* retarded, this ****** overhyped indie deserves in no way to get best game of the year. Quite frankly find it absolutely ludicrous to even suggest that it's better than super mario world and pokemon red/blue. Honestly, it's pathetic what some people think quality is.

Listen. I know you think pokemon red & blue are good. They're not. The battle system is garbage where speed always wins, the sprites look like absolute **** , it's riddled with bugs and glitches and it has 0 balance. Psychic & Dragon are OP while Ice, ghost, bug, and normal are ******* trash. I can't really vouch for Super Mario World because comparing a simple RPG from today to a 2d platformer that pushed the edge of technology in the 90's is like comparing apples to oranges, and people just so happened to like oranges.

Also, look at that ******* bracket. Do you honestly believe that Sonic 2 is better than Portal 2? Or that Animal Crossing New Leaf is better than Super Mario World? What about Super Mario Bros 3, which has been out and dead for years, compared to Age of Empires 2, which got new DLC last month. That's the problem with these brackets, is that it's just the "supposed" end-all-be-all BEST GAME EVER which is retarded. It should be divided into "Best platformer of all time" "Best Adventure RPG of all time" "Best FPS of all time" and compare games that are similar. Comparing a platformer to an RTS, or an RPG to a platformer, is just stupid.

You see, that vote is to decide how many people like one game over another....

It doesn't matter how zealously they like that game because they can only vote once, meaning those people literally out number the big guns.

In other words, Undertale, despite it's simplistic gameplay and design, has trumped all the other games through sheer, gripping characters and story. Making you the silent protaginist allows you to insert yourself into the story more, and therefore enhances those characters even more.

Not only that, but the very concept of saving, loading, and resetting are all ingrained as an actual concept into the game, not just an average UI. The fact some can notice or remember makes you feel like your actions have effect, which again, enhances story and characters, each important character has their own custom made music to match them, all of which are composed amazingly, and, AND, to top it all off, there are still undiscovered secrets despite its popularity, and so much mystery left to be discovered.

This is why it's simplistic design and gameplay take nothing away, this is a game that spent almost all of its time empowering it's actual emotional experience and connections. Something so lacking in the world, that a few people don't even see the value in the concept anymore.

10/10 game, will love to the end of time.

I respect your opinion, but I would personally disagree. I like playing games that are story based, because unlike books and movies which are equally as good mediums of entertainment , you're actually "involved" in what's happening, you're not just watching a story unfold in front of you, you're making it happen itself. Of course, that only applies when said story-based game has actual good gameplay, it's a bad sign when you're waiting for a gameplay segment to be over just so you can see the next cutscene.

User avatar #32 to #28 - imoriginalposter (12/12/2015) [-]
But because you're "involved" compelling narratives either
a) have to be written in such a way that they can continue regardless of whether or not you make certain decisions
or
b) have a single rigid story with no decisions that you're playing connect the dots with, at which point why am I even there if not for exclusivly the gameplay?

Keep in mind I enjoyed the stanley parable, and bastion, and some other indie games that use unique gimmicks to their storytelling but without those I see no more reason to go to a game for a story than to go to a fish for a handjob.

I agree, but I would like to add that in the case of a rigid story, it does indeed boil down to the gameplay, and I feel like that's where the immersion comes from, not from what decisions you make in a story perspective, but the act of completing the task you have at hand. The immersion, and the feeling of accomplishment you get from completing the tasks you're presented with, can be gotten from the story that lies behind it. For some reason, the only example I can think of is Zelda, which isn't exactly the best example, but regardless: In a game like Zelda you'd be immersed in the fight against Ganon, because of all you had to go through previous (granted, that goes for both gameplay and story). I'd liken it to a book that, while it doesn't exactly thave he most innovative or challenging story, it's still a damn good story and experience.

What about Bloodborne, where not only are you a "silent protagonist" but you can even model your character after yourself if you should so choose. Bloodborne and the Souls games for that matter also has an atypical saving mechanic and world persistence/consequence moon changes, NPCs stay dead, enemies steal blood echoes, fighting optional bosses can change some things, etc. .

It's hard to say whether the gameplay itself is "simplistic" as the basic combat consists solely of attacking, parrying, and dodging; but each weapon possesses its own moveset, and items can be used in combination to make fights easier.

It's strange that you mention mystery in Undertale, since Bloodborne is almost even more so a mystery despite an earlier release date. It's world is beautiful yet obscure - we are only given parts of the story, fragments that must be strung together. For this reason someone wrote an excellent paper on Bloodborne, "The Paleblood Hunt", that provides an interesting insight get it? into the lore - which is more rich than one would expect from its initial minimalist presentation.

I think Bloodborne pretty much beats out Undertale in terms of RPGs, unless we make the distinction between ARPG and a more traditional RPG system. Then I don't really know who beats who, but Bloodborne's design and gameplay are prime examples of an expertly crafted game that can be enjoyed by people who don't care about story you get to kill awesome **** with minimal story/cutscenes compared to other RPGs and by people who do care about story Lore is scattered throughout, but in a way that feels like you're unraveling a mystery rather than trying to make sense of some fractured narrative that you care little about .

No hate on Undertale though, I just think Bloodborne is one of the best AAA titles to come out in a long time, and deserves recognition so games of its caliber and quality will be encouraged in the industry.

Sadly, I've never played Bloodbourne, but I do know it's played by a lot of people, so it's probably really good and wouldn't mind playing it when I got the chance.

I have seen gameplay though, however, and I do notice one thing, it doesn't really seem like anyone is.... Well.... Worth caring for? Like on a moral level I mean, they all seem to be pretty terrible people, save for maybe 2 or 3 people. Again though, can't judge it for I haven't played it.

Yes, but who cares? I was saying "who cares if Undertale wins or doesn't win"
The website is irrelevant as hell, it's not like Undertale not winning just because of some butthurt people will hurt their sales or something.

I find it strange how their viewership has been crashing super hard until very recently, almost as if it had to do with some sort of controversy or polls or something!

You don't need to go defend the game. The award means nothing, they only want traffic.

The comment section soon:

"These faggots posted like 3 undertale pics and made the frontpage, it's not fallout so it's not okay to do that. It is cancer because it is a repeated post about something that I don't like"

*Meanwhile Fallout 4 decimated every other post for 3.5 weeks.
*Meanwhile MGSV dominated the front page for two weeks.
*Meanwhile OnePunchman dominated for a week.
*Meanwhile Battlefront owned the page for a week.
*Meanwhile anti-radfeminism dominated the front page for 3 months straight.

Meanwhile "cancerous" fandoms like MLP, Undertale, and Steven Universe kept their cool, didn't complain, and respectfully let everyone else have their fun. I'm not even an undertale fan(I'm an SU fan), and I actually feel bad for the crap that Undertale fans are getting.

The fanbase I participate in got shunned, riddiculed, and basically hated on for being too enthusiastic about something. Nobody deserves that bullcrap.

I think I've found the bigger culprit of what is wrong with the internet, and surprisingly the "bad" fandoms seem to be more mature about their preferences.

"kept their cool" so literally ******* 20 people didn't say anything. because guess what, you are the ******* minority. just a lot of you of happen to be vocal and decide to spam the front page with **** content about an overrated indie game with a story that could've been written by anyone. The game is nothing particularly good, it average at best.
Fallout 4, One Punch Man and MGSV dominating the front page isn't shoehorning a cringy fandom into every ******* thing existing and acting like it's the best game they've ever played (Granted, some retards think that about Fallout 4).
There's a difference between enthusiasm and unwanted overhyping.

You guys know that that bracket is a contest with prizes on the line, right? You fill out a bracket, and the person who predicts the most victories wins. Most people on GameFAQs had never heard of Undertale before the contest began, which means they most likely didn't put Undertale on their brackets as a winner. Suddenly, it begins to win, and the contests involving Undertale get much, much more votes than any other one. It's clear that people from other sites are voting for it, and that's making people's contest brackets tank.

So maybe you can see why some people would be upset with these sudden victories from out of left field. There are definitely some people that are just upset because they don't like the game, but that's not the whole reason.

I really enjoyed Undertale. It's one of my favorite games. But the fans are acting like a bunch of spoiled little ***** .

They can't understand the fact that people who have played the game are capable of not liking it, and that's really sad. It has numerous flaws, as any game do, but they brush over them in a fit childish refusal that the game isn't perfect. Annoying fans like this are numerous and will view even the most inefficient game as some sort of masterpiece. Honestly, the majority of them probably haven't even played the game to it's fullest extent, such as working through the genocide run and finding Gaster within the code.

In reality, the characters are cliche, the backstory lacking, and it has the reeking stench of the standard shonen ******** where having friends and believing in yourself make you literally immortal. But, the soundtrack is beautifully mastered, the main plot is decisive with hints of mystery, and the setting mixes incredibly well with it's overall gameplay. It isn't perfect, but is still incredibly well made, which is why I hate that even a game such as this has such a toxic fanbase.

Within maybe a year's time, it will dissipate from it's current popularity, and be remembered solely for the cancerous individuals that clung to it like a child to it's mother's tit. It's a game. And as good as a game as it is, it is not perfect, and not at all life changing.

so it's a "sjw" game because it has a few gay characters and a sexually ambiguous main character?

they could build 2 strawmen with the amount of straw grasping they did.

at several points they've proven that they didn't play the game, and refuse to play it because "muh graphics".

i'm actually fine with being put into the same basket as the tumblrites this time. just because i disagree with most of their shenannigans doesn't mean we can't both like the same thing.

and besides. undertale deserves this, especially after being robbed at the VGA's.

didn't win best rpg. well ok that was to be expected, can't exactly win against witcher 3
didn't win best indie. huh rocket league eh? not my cup of tea, but i know it's pretty popular.
didn't win games for change... seriously? if anything i'd say it brought most change this year.

but god forbid we win on a site that hasn't really been relevant for 6 years, among well established games that everyone knows.

i hated the fanbase too, but at least i went and played the damn thing before passing any judgement on the quality of the game.

In my own opinion, Undertale does not beat out the other games on the list, it does not have gripping enough story or characters to even touch them, it's not emotional, at best, you consider your actions first, I didn't see where it was all that, (If we're going with gripping story and characters, OFF knocks Undertale out of the ******* ballfield, pun intended), but, my opinion does not match the opinions of many others, as obviously shown by the polls, it beat out Mass Effect 3, Fallout 3 and Super Mario World. That being said, even though I've ********** about Undertale, these people are unreasonably salty that it's beating their favorite games out in a poll.

Just ignore the poll.

I like the stuff Undertale has been shelling out, I mean, I remember when the Sans fight was posted in WebM and I just stared in amazement.

But I am kind of upset that indeed Undertale has been beating games that have been part of our childhood and made us who we are.

Yes I'm going to be salty a bit. Even if it's on an old website no one uses anymore, it still gets the title of "best game ever" and that's enough to get people upset. Is undertale good?
Yes.
Is it good enough to be the "best game ever"?
No.

Remember FNAF was an indie game.
If you don't understand the salt people are having, imagine if FNAF beat Ocarina of Time for best game ever.
Yeah.
You too would be upset.
