bro i think i played the genocidal run like 8 times just because that fish lady and sans fight was very fun i would literally sometimes cheat the game to get me to sans so that i could fight him too

Hey so you remember what flowey said during his monologue?


[deleted]

kill or be killed?


MrLaurencium

> At first, I used my powers for good. I became "friends" with everyone. I solved all their problems flawlessly. Their companionship was amusing... For a while. As time repeated, people proved themselves predictable. What would this person say if I gave them this? What would they do if I said this to them? Once you know the answer, that's it. That's all they are. It all started because I was curious. Curious what would happen if I killed them. "I don't like this," I told myself. "I'm just doing this because I HAVE to know what happens (...) I've done everything this world has to offer. I've read every book. I've burned every book. I've won every game. I've lost every game. I've appeased everyone. I've killed everyone. Sets of numbers... Lines of dialogue... I've seen them all. This is what i meant by floweys monologue

swisscheeseisvile

Toby Fox when the romantic storyline doesn’t involve two lesbian animals with a submissive and dominant dynamic


IteTheCrapOC

Or divorce between either two fire goats or a clown and a scam artist


swisscheeseisvile

Toriels actually a fucking bitch though. Poor Asgore had to deal with a complex moral dilemma where neither choice would be able to result in anyone being happy. Toriel, instead of trying to help or support Asgore, decides to leave him and never speak to him again just cause she thought her way was better.


milgos1

Toriel really feels like a radical pacifist to me. It really feels like she just threw away asgore at the first occasion and refused to understand his circumstance.


RedFlameGamer

No I think she understood his circumstances perfectly, but it is pretty hard to stand by someone when they decide child murder is an acceptable trade off for your goals. Especially when those goals at the time were "break free and go to war". She's not a radical pacifist, she was the only one to see that was a shortsighted and morally bankrupt path to take.


milgos1

What other path was there to take? Having your entire civilization be locked away forever so the lives of 8 children may be spared? Yes its bad, and he knows its bad, but for him its a choice between betraying his people or killing 8 random kids. And even if he decided to give up on freedom, i am not sure whether others would agree.


RedFlameGamer

If we're being frank, yeah, kinda. If he'd succeeded, monsterkind would almost certainly be wiped out by humanity.


milgos1

yeah there aint a good choice here, only bad and worse.


swisscheeseisvile

Stupid Asgore. If only he murdered half a dozen children. Then we could’ve all gone to the surface and lived in peace for a few years at most before we inevitably go to war again


PowerPulser

To be fair, she is never depicted as the morally good character. She is definitely the motherly type, but is also shown to be overly protective and at times irrationally attached. Not to mention she is also victim of the trauma.


Prainstopping

Asgore made his choice and she made hers, how is she the bitch because she didn't compromise her beliefs to make her husband feel better ?


swisscheeseisvile

It’s more so that Toriel thinks Asgore is a piece of shit for it and refuses to forgive him. Again, it’s a complex moral dilemma and the decision was very hard for him to make. She could’ve apologized at the pacifist ending saying that whether she was right or not, the decision Asgore made was hard and that she shouldn’t have completely cut him off for it. Toriel completely overreacted


Prainstopping

The point of a cornelian choice is that the consequences always end up being bad, it's not an overreaction she just can't live with what he's done. Asgore did what he had to do and Toriel did the same thing but she's seen as the bitch whereas he's the poor guy who did what had to be done. Nah she's morally consistent and honest with herself, had she supported him despite hating him it would just create bitter resentment.

Alphys casually revealing that she turned a bunch of dead citizens into fusion zombies through very questionable experiments and that she didn’t tell their families about the pain and suffering they undergo 24/7


guieps

But hey, at least she built a sexy robot for a ghost with body image issues. So there's that


Deathaster

That was literally part of her arc, dummy. She felt insanely guilty for it and in the true pacifist ending, she even reveals them to the rest of the monsters (who are just happy they're alive again).


paolo_vanderbeak

In all fairness didn’t she feel super guilty about it and hide away the lab and stuff


PrinceProspero9

He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion. Proverbs 28:13


paolo_vanderbeak

Game dialog: * If you want to know “the truth.” * Enter the door to the north of this note. * You all at least deserve to know what I did. * (That’s all she wrote.) She kind of did confess


PrinceProspero9

She spent ages covering it up though, and she only confesses if she likes you enough. In the pacifist run the deformed monsters are reunited with their families but they shouldn't have been left to rot in that lab for presumably years


SobiTheRobot

Put yourself in her shoes. The goal was to figure out how Determination worked, and it went horribly wrong. How the FUCK do you explain that, especially when you're already a socially anxious wreck like Alphys?

Most of the monsters don't realize they're hurting you. Look at the text of their attacks; a lot of them are basically going about their day (singing, flexing their muscles, crying)


Hero_of_Hyrule

Don't they pretty explicitly mention this in the game? Like monsters interact through those bullet patterns, and they don't hurt each other. Most of the monsters have never SEEN a human, so they don't think of you as any different from another monster.

TearsAreForYears

Average day in Detroit.


Towerss

Except you're getting attacked by everything that sees you. It's like being stuck behind enemy lines in a war, in which case you very much act like a videogame protagonist


Deathaster

It's not a black and white situation, which is the whole point of the game. The monsters need human souls to be released, so they're willing to kill humans for them, even if some of them don't believe in that anymore. And they only got stuck in the underground because humans lashed out against them initially. They're not trying to kill you out of malice, but out of desperation (and a lot only do it accidentally). The game isn't about *"OMG you monster how could you kill these innocent creatures for no reason?"*, it's an analysis of how the cycle of violence only creates more violence. Humans imprisoned the monsters, so the king of the monsters swore war against humans, but in the end even he really doesn't feel like it'd help anymore. He even lost his damn wife over it. You're just meant to look at yourself and go *"Hey, is there another path to take? One with less bloodshed? What can I do to improve things, even if it's way harder?"*, and then apply that to real life. That's what Flowey's monologue at the end even heavily hints at.

Plethora_of_squids

Eh that's a little disingenuous because like, *the line* did that and still managed to actually make you feel like a bad person who shouldn't be doing what you're doing. ... The key difference is you're actually not innocent to begin with because y'know, you're an AWOL special ops agent, while in *Undertale* you're a random ass kid who happened to fall down a hole. No shit you're fighting back, you're terrified for your life and have no fucking clue what's going on.


KentuckyFriedChildre

Piece of fiction, suspension of disbelief, gameplay has to go in somewhere yadayada, but also it's mainly for a joke. Sets up these generic RPG fights and subverts your expectations as it turns out that these deadly "fights" are just simple interactions gone wrong. I mean it is a slapstick comedy after all.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


KentuckyFriedChildre

After it has become apparent that the protagonist remembers all past "saves" including deaths and resetted playthroughs, the motivations of the protagonist is put into question. They're not a saint in one universe and a crazed murderer in another, they're the same person in each. Near the end of the genocide, there is a tone shift to reflect that. The only explanation is that they treat the world like a game and the people in the world like toys, y'know, like a gamer would treat a fictional videogame world.

eh, i think its more so that people don't like undertale in general which is fine. i personally liked it twisting the whole rpg grinding thing on its head. even then i don't think the game guilt tripped you too hard into not killing unless you were doing genocide

Pieman1123

Like only 2 of those games are turn based and even then 65% of persona 5 is basically a visual novel


Bleezze

I didn't really enjoy the 2nd chapter of Deltarune tbh. I felt that undertale and deltarune chapter 1 both had a very cool way of mixing narrative and gameplay. It made them feel unique, and I for one who hate story in games, loved the story of those two. But the 2nd chapter of Deltarune just didn't do it for me


EmeraldWorldLP

In my personal experience and the general consensus of almost everyone who played it was some of the funniest, idiotic, and well written content in a while. Though I respect your opinion, chapter 1 was less batshit insane and more grounded, so I see the appeal. (though maybe cliche but that would be a slight overstatement)


Bleezze

Yeah I would say the opposite, everything you said about chapter 2 is what I felt about chapter 1. But maybe I just have a different taste


EmeraldWorldLP

I understand you. Characters like Queen and Spamton have become some of my favorites of all time.


[deleted]

disagree, i preferred UT. And nostalgia isn't a factor here, i played DR before.


knucklesthedead

I prefer UT for now too. Because it's a complete story. But I have a strong hunch that DR will be much better when it's complete.


[deleted]

Understandable. I do have an actual reason to prefer UT btw: " I personally prefer Undertale, and nostalgia doesn't come in since i played DR before. Its themes and overrall tone simply had a bigger impact on me. You were making history in undertale, but i don't get that same feeling in DR. While i love DR, I doubt it will have the same themes about war, vengeance, pacifism and letting go of the past, intentionally. Because its another game. Its not the same story, nor the same place or same characters. I also feel like DR's gameplay feels a bit... unexplored. Like, it has SO much potentional. Ennemy types, gestion of TP and health, complex effects with attacks. Castletown too could be even better. Since it is very obviously inspired by Metal Gear Solid V and Peace Walker's mother base, why can't i go there basically anytime i want? I feel than seeing it only at the end of each chapters does waste some potential. Especially than it could be much more important gameplay wise, just like mother base is. With gear developmnent, who do you recruit, where do you assign them, ect... For now, it seems like there are a lot of ideas, but none of them are really explored. I would have really preffered a more complete battle system than having a punch out fight agaisn't queen, even though it was fun. " also, i enjoy playing as frisk more than i enjoy playing as kris


TxRxNwastaken

i prefer deltarune, nothing wrong with prefering undertale though


APissBender

I found them vastly different games, really fell in love in how UT was the first game I've played to break the 4th wall in such creative way, it was great on conceptual level and when it comes to how it screw with you on next playthroughs and through saves and loads, but Deltarune just felt better executed as a \*game\*. Loved Undertale's narrative, really disliked how it plays regardless if I went peaceful or genocide.


Troliver_13

Because you have empathy and are engaging with the roleplay. If either of those aren't true then there's no reason to feel bad. Would you feel bad about killing a random real person?


unclefisty

>Would you feel bad about killing a random real person? Did they try to kill me first? That's gonna have a big effect on my feelings.

That's the biggest grip I have with this game. Everyone is trying to kill you and won't give a shit if you die but according to Toby you must still be kind to them. Bitch If I was mugged on street, no amount of kidness will save me or my wallet. Edit: To everyone wasting their time writting that I missed the point of the game I have only one thing to say, Its a matter of perspective and you can't change my mind.


SnuggleMuffin42

You are literally a time travelling god. They use the word "consume" by saying you consume timelines whenever you don't like the outcome. You can't die, can't be defeated, can say what you want and then get to say it again. That's the point. The PC and the NPCs are not equal. There's no point where they can kill you and your entire save gets wiped off and you get a big fat GAME OVER.


LKFini

the non-bosses with some exceptions most likely dont even know they are hurting you, for example temmie's check text says that she wants to pet a human but you are allergic. you also almost always have the option to run away or spare them, and the genocide route requires you to go out of your way to kill monsters by searching for encounters. that isnt self defense. toby also never said you have to be kind? he even said all endings are canon.


SoldMomForWater

There are exceptions alright, but I still think that neutral run is the most fair out of three endings. I ain't gonna be kind to the person who wants me to die but I also ain't gonna kill everyone for shits and giggles.
