You look for his Mettadong

All you get is another leg

anyway the mettaton fanclub is up now so you can talk about whatever you think is under that robot skin-tight suit
 
everyone on gamefaq is an idiot. dont get me wrong i love undertale, but it is not the greatest game of all time. also melee is **** it should not have been in the top 4. i could go on a huge rant about this half these games dont deserve to be in the tournament

its just that it is recent that people are really liking it. i have no hate on the game but it is not on the level of link to the past, super metroid, and paper mario 1+2

You have to remember: Nostalgia is just as bad as hype when it comes to creating bias. Do you know how many people I have had try to tell until they're blue in the face that Goldeneye hasn't aged like old milk?

While people are definitely riding the hype train too much, people, yourself included, are riding the nostalgia train just as hard.

I mean, can you honestly tell me with a straight face that Paper Mario and Undertale didn't use almost identical formulas to pave their way to success? (Good gameplay, self-awareness, boat loads of charm, and witty humor). Older doesn't necessarily mean better.



Actually, after listing off those core game design aspects, if you were to use them to describe a game to me, I honestly don't think I'd be able to tell if you were talking about Paper Mario, Undertale, Earthbound, or Lisa. (Popular games seem to share popular themes. Hmmmmmmm.)



Small sidenote: I think the only reason Lisa didn't get the same ammount of attention was due to its grueling difficulty - but from an artistic standpoint that fit suuuuper well inside the game's narrative of the world being tough and unforgiving.
 
This game looks really cool. And all the feels is amazing. My favorite LP of it was probably Game Grumps Steam Train. I wish I had a working computer to play it though. ><;

i dont think there is an answer to the best game ever. some games are better in some aspects than others. if it was divided by best story or best gameplay it would be easier
 
Sometimes I feel shocked she was a kickstarter character...

she was so fabulous for just a short amount of time ;o;
