Games You Don't Like, But Everyone Else Does?

UNDERTALE. I had fun during the boss battles and a few jokes were funny, but after I finished it and thought it over, I started to hate it. Sans and Papyrus are the only characters worth something. I'm supposed to care for everyone else on the sole basis that they aren't straight, despite the fact that they are despisable assholes and/or pathetic mental wrecks. I'm not being homophobic here, Papyrus might be gay if Frisk is a male. It's fine. The skeletons are at least funny and friendly. Sexual orientation isn't an inherently good or bad trait. Other characters have no good traits whatsoever and the "sympathy" I'm supposed to have for them hinges on the idea that "non-straight = inherently good".

There's more. Toriel is a fucking joke, she wants to protect you, and yet she never asks you your name or anything (until the end). She even tries to kill you when you want to leave. And then the icing on the cake, she refers to Frisk as "they" at the end, meaning that she is too much of a fucking goat trash to even take a guess on your fucking gender. Frisk wouldn't have killed her for picking the wrong gender or anything. Why do dumblrinas and everyone in this game act like it's the single most important thing to get right, ever?

At least the soundtrack is good. Battles are a bit repetitive outside of boss battles, but they're still enjoyable. The level design is horrendous, the last time I've seen level design this bad in an RPG, I was playing Touhou Mother. The graphics are trash too, low-res low-color depth can be done very well, but I think this game hits a new low in this department. Wouldn't be that bad if the level design wasn't so damn flat and straight.

I know people will call bait on me, it's not. It's not a shitpost either. I would've posted this even without the newfangled post leniency deal. The UNDERTALE fandom is fucking everywhere and is horrible, I would've been roasted either way.

There's also FPSes as a whole, I just can't get into them. Collect-a-thons, too.
tfw legitimately the only confirmed non-straight characters are undyne and alphys but you're so mad at the slightest possibility of not everyone being straight that you write giant paragraphs about how much you don't actually care about sexual orientation but are still babyraging about it

I'm puzzled as to what could possibly have made you think that Sans, Asriel, Asgore, Toriel, Burgerpants, Catty, Bratty, Muffet, Temmie, Gerson, Shyren, Greater Dog, Lesser Dog, Dogamy, Dogaressa, Doggo, Snowdrake, Chilldrake, Snowdrake's father, his wife, Napstablook and others I might be forgetting (+minor characters) are gay.

She doesn't.

Maybe it's just because Frisk is whichever gender you want him (#tb{;)}) to be, or because he's supposed to be a player self-insert character; i.e. you project a gender you relate to (or want to fug) more onto him.

Graphics are mostly trash, though, yeah. I honestly wish Temmie had taken care of the art direction or something, she's a nice artist.

i like how you spend two paragraphs whining about how mentally ill and queer characters exist in undertale and how toriel refers to you as a they (frisk is meant to be a player self-insert, thus the gender neutrality) and only one paragraph actually critiquing the game itself

This is like a review I'd expect from those ~TRU GAMEZ JORNALSIM~ sites that 'gaters made

Just so we're clear, I'm not even hating on you just because you dislike Undertale; while I like it a ton, I got tired of hearing about it near constantly the past few months

The worst part is that your critique on the game itself (i.e. not the BAWWWW THIS GAME HAS GAY CHARACTERS AND TORIEL IS TOO BETA shit) is actually really good and I honestly sorta agree with it

I'm not being homophobic here, Papyrus might be gay if Frisk is a male.

This is almost the same thing as saying "im not a homophobe ok some of my best friends are gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

RG 01 and 02
The game give a lot of screentime to Undyne and Alphys before they are revealed to not be straight and it's hardly a defining part of their character (the cooking scene with Undyne is where her character is established and her not being straight is irrelevant in that scene).

The thing that annoyed me about undertale's story is the plot twist at the of the pacifist path,
that the player character is not the one you named at the beginning
, since it felt really forced and only bring more question than answer. There is also the issue that there is not any reason to do anything other than pacifist/genocide and that sparing ennemies is mostly done by waiting or trying every options in ACT.

I'll say Earthbound.

While I can see why so many people like it, I just can't get myself into it like the first one and 3. The beginning is just so boring for me that I decide to quit the game before anything that might be interesting happens. I know what the final boss is too thanks to people spamming memes, so... Yea. That ruined the game for me.
The beginning of Earthbound is quite slow, yeah.

It starts to pick up when you go to save Paula imo (Happy Happy Village)

Speaking of Mother 1, I'm p hype for the remake hack
As much as I didn't really like the gameplay, the atmosphere and settings were rather nice

What a minute, *that's* the reason somebody said to me Undertale had gay themes or something like that in it? Because there are two confirmed gay characters and about the ambiguous nature of the 'dates'?

... what?

Spoilers:
Alphys and Undyne become girlfriends in the Pacifist ending, Alphys has crushes on both Asgore and Undyne and RG01 and RG02's battle is... well


The Undyne and Papyrus dates are more platonic than anything, you're not meant to take them seriously

the final boss is way more terrifying when you actually play it
Never understood the liking for Sonic & the Secret Rings. I played it for an hour and was bored and confused by the end.
                                                                                                                  
                              
Uh...is that a game people like? Pretty much all of the 3D Sonic games are terrible, and that one's no exception.
Altho on that note I think sonic adventure is kind of bad and sonic generations is only good for its 2d segments

Oddly enough, most people I've talked to have enjoyed it... It's a total mystery to me as to why...#smw{-_-}

                                                                                                                  
                              
Not every 3D Sonic game is terrible, don't know where that came from. Some of the ones most people agree to be good are Adventure 2 (though I disagree with that, I think it's overrated and 2/3 of it is shit) Colors, and Generations. I also enjoyed the Wii U/PC version of Lost World, though there's still debates if that one should be considered good or not.

Yeah, Secret Rings is shit. I've never heard anything good said about it, and I have yet to beat it. I probably won't.
SA2 is regarded pretty highly and I'm not quite sure why, because it's actually pretty bad from what I've played. Colors and Generations are indeed the only other ones I hear good things about, so I think most of them are considered bad.
Literally the only reason people like Sonic Adventure 2 is purely because of nostalgia (and the Chao Garden). And if that wasn't enough, SA2 fanboys are usually part of the deviantART/FurAffinity crowd.

While I wouldn't mind seeing the Chao Garden again (even as a spinoff virtual pet game on smartphones + 3DS eShop + Vita PSN or something), I want Sonic Adventure 3 to never happen.

In short, Sonic Adventure 2 was a mistake. It's nothing but trash. Those that identify as 'SA3 supporters' sicken me deeply.
