Memorability in Recent Games

Why are games such as LISA and Undertale so memorable when most of the other games that came out in those respectable years was forgetable?
What made them work when everything else failed? At least, in the west.
**What makes stuff so

I like your thread, but you fucked up.
Redo and maybe I'll come here.

Cool fuck up in the OP you baiting faggot.

maybe you would feel more comfortable posting this thread not here, faggot

Probably bait, but on the off chance that this isn't, it's the soundtrack.

Remember Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 7? Of course you do, because they had excellent music that you may even be humming right now.


Now try to come up with a AAA game that was released in the last 2 years with a good original soundtrack. You probably can't even remember one song from them, because they're bad and not at all memorable.

Obviously Undertale was successful because of the spider
also the goatmom

You are a degenerate.

came here to post this

i bet none of you even got the real ending of undertale

go back to /cuckderground/

Undertale and Lisa already had popularity (IN) the gaming scene with public attention.
Also Lisa and Undertale both have things you can get for FREE

LISA wasn't very known until after it released. Undertale was had a headstart because Toby worked on Homosuck, so lots of people knew who he was.

Is Holla Forums getting as cucked as Holla Forums?

Nice try at CTR, newfag. Lisa & Undertale are solid well-made games. Sure UT has an annoying fanbase but what piece of work doesn't have some annoying fans? I was in the threads full of people enjoying it on release, looking for Gaster and so forth.

Undertale is boring and EZ PZ. Not enough violence to be memorable.

no, the demo made undertale already well known.

It definitely helped, but people looked out for the demo because Toby already had a dedicated fanbase.

Haven't played LISA but I've heard nothing but good things about it, played through Undertale way back when and thought it was decent but had an absolute ass-ton of wasted potential and plotholes also no hard mode, reminder that radiation hasn't even finished a dinky little clock-app that he promised for kickstarter

Shame Gaster was just a heavy red-herring with no real relevance to anything when he was more interesting than ~95% of the actual game. What we do know about him is cool as shit.

I think it's because they dont feel bland, they make feel things to put it easy, whish seems more easy compared to try to make a memorable game for having good gameplay.

Pic related, a mix of both, should be more popular, even though it's just pro-life propaganda :^)

LISA is okay but tumblrtale is straight up SJW trash
Go back to cuckchan, they love and shill the Tumblrtale you love so much.

You'll never get your $2000 back from all those scat commissions.

You have to admit it is pretty fucking gay how the developer tried to make you feel bad about killing demons.

Every time I see that claim of undertale being "sjw propaganda" I never actually see a straight up explanation of why that is the case, other than "LE TUMBLR XD" or "IT JUST IS, OK?". So it features a gay and a bi character, big fucking deal, the game doesn't make a fuss about it so I can't see the issue.

Since it's likely that you'll say that just featuring such characters is sjw propaganda, I'll argue that there's a huge difference between having a character who's homo/bi within the confines of the story, and having one for the purpose of spewing going on spiels and tirades about those characters being homo/bi or, conversely, how being "cis" is bad and stupid. I don't see alphys and undyne doing that so I can't see where the issue lies there.

But I know, you're just going to look for those posts of the TOTALLY VERIFIED AND COMPLETELY SINCERE 100% MARKETING EMPLYEE WHO'S TOTALLY NOT FAKING SHIT UP AMIRITE who says that undertale is some sort of next-level psyops mind-control propaganda machine from the (((illuminati))) along with those screen shots from the interview claiming that the game is ready for "le tumblr issues", completely ignoring the fact that toby fox outright refused to answer the obviously sjw-loaded questions and the fucking hacks still went and said that the guy is totally tumblr when he really isn't.

Wether you're the standard issue shitposter trying le ebin b8s or one thinking of "defending le board quality", tumblrtale is something you came up with out of confirmation bias.

I know this post is autistic, I'm just tired of seeing "TUMBLRTALE XD" as an argument without any explaining.


To be fair, the demons in the game are nice people, so killing nice people kinda makes you feel bad. Asgore did nothing wrong.

I'm concerned that you must have confused IDs, newfriend, go join to a place that appeals to a much more wider audience. (that place is called "plebbit")

They aren't people, they're demons, monsters, abominations from the depths. They want to kill you and eat your flesh.

Wait, are you implying those commissions weren't sincere but to scare people off? Because if so, holy fuck. That's a riot.

Legend goes that the man, in his consummate hatred for undertale, comissioned those pics to shit up threads until somebody found out who the guy was and started calling him "poopy joe" or something like that. Seeing that the plan backfired horribly and getting absolutely anal-triggered by people calling him that, the guy just dissappeared without a trace. At least that's what I've read about the incident here.

Man, I never knew about that. That's hilarious.
I have my doubs it achieved much, considering how shitty the fanbase is.

Not just sountrack, but bosses as well.

A good set of bosses that bring the gameplay together and change up playstyle makes all the difference.

The first Soul Reaver does one of the best jobs with this too. the way the world is set up around each brother build them up pretty well, and the reaction Raziel has to their forms is enough of a payoff there.

The total lack of bosses in soul reaver 2 also shows how crucial it is. The game felt like one long hallway. It's really hard to remember much about that game beyond the ending scene.

Are you ok?

Would you say that Legacy of Kain game still holds up today? I remember seeing shit about it in GamePro back in like 2000 and it looked great, but it's one of those games I never got around to playing.

t. humanity

I know only one scat-commissioner that refers to the game as "Tumblrtale" and cries about it being SJW trash Reddit buzzword cuck buzzword.

214e12 has it about right, back in the days of the demo threads our great friend Poopy Joe commissioned $2k worth of scat porn featuring Toriel and Animal Crossing's Isabelle to spam Undertale threads, until one or two people in the threads talked to a friend of the artist responsible and learned all the commissions had come from one source and the only place they were being posted was Holla Forums. Poopy Joe wasn't to be seen again until the game's release whereupon he went on a holy crusade on both 4/v/ and 8/v/, pitching a bitchfit about memegames, Cucktale, Tumblrtale, Tumblrmeme, etc. other high-larious names for the game until it'd been sussed out he was Poopy Joe again. Note his wrath is almost 24/7, the man barely seems to sleep so fierce is his shitposting and his hatred for Undertale. He's still found in the wild every so often. He hasn't gotten any new material to work with.

Worth at least 1 playthrough. People apparently got kind of annoyed with all the block puzzles in it.

They made good enough use of the spirit world shifting powers. It's a little like what Zelda was trying to do with the twilight realm.

MEMEGAME

Good god, I don't know if I'm ready to experience that event, my body cannot handle all that potential cringe.

Like an idiot I forgot to contribute to the subject of the thread: one of the most memorable experiences I had was my first playthrough of Dark Souls. That feeling of always being surrounded and walking cautiously with my shield up while paying attention to the environments was refreshing to me, especially the first time going through the tomb of the giants. Got me some major spooks there.

I suppose the reason behind the lack of memorable moments comes from the restrictive, cookie-cutter, rigid, and generic nature of western games that always pursue the cod audience because "muh high sales". A design can't be truly creative without sacrificing accessibility, and we all know what AAA publishers think about not selling to the wider audience.

Get out of here, faggot flower.

same

Well, for all intensive purposes: the games industry is a doggy dog world.

Because most games are largely the same. It's like with most Hollywood blockbusters now, it's to get as many people to watch it, and you forget it the next day.

i cant dance

i cant talk

At least you can post.

AGHHH

That's because undertale is good :^)

I finished Undertale the other day. My first run, I killed every boss except for Papyrus. I did a second run as pacifist. I can see how some of you would get annoyed that Toby Fox clearly favors letting all the characters live over killing any of them. Even though there is this slighty faggy atmosphere over the game, it is still really enjoyable for what it is, that is, a weird rpg-bullet hell combination. At no point did I feel like nothing new was being introduced. All the boss fights had distinct flavors, and the soundtrack was, IMO, really fucking good. What I'm trying to accomplish with this rant is to say that even though I wish Toby Fox wasn't so clearly biased towards a gay philosophy of "don't kill anyone even if they're trying to kill you", it was a very colorful and immersive game, which I really got into.

Post more spider

oh boy.
Looks like a big one. A massive C.U.C.K

LISA and Undertale weren't memorable though. I'd forgotten they existed until you brought them up.

Only in the west you see people wanting to fuck horses (mlp), goats (undertale), or liking ugly characters (lisa). Not ugly in the sense of bad art, but in the sense of beauty. Western animation has a lot of this, animals drawn like humans or just people drawn to be ugly. The simpsons, family guy, a regular show, ren and stimpy and so on.

Westerners have a fetish for fucking animals and laughing at themselves.

new undertale update came out
pic related its the new hard mode

...

It's unfortunate that he's a lazy cocksucker who can't code (seriously the amount of help he's had with it was embarrassing for something touted as a one-man effort) since it could've gone places if he'd finished hard mode.

Undertale and LISA had distinctive visual styles (the latter moreso than the former) and memorable soundtracks. The Painful was also somewhat controversial (though not very imo), which made it stick in peoples' minds.

My theory about Undertale is that it sticks with you because of this cute fluffy bastard that YOU CAN NEVER SAVE. It remains in the back of your mind because your brain considers it "unfinished business". You were never able to really finish the game because you could never save him, because you can't do anything with him. You don't even know what the heck he's going to DO, stuck in the Underground as a goddamn flower for the rest of eternity.

Oh, and if you ever want to replay the game with a completely new and mindblowing perspective, realize the following: Chara is unquestionably the narrator of everything, in every run. Delving into the absurd manifold of layers of Chara in the canon of the game is what keeps me going back.

They were both memorable because Austin and Toby wanted to tell a story, and they did so from the heart.

Now go for the good ending genocide

oppai loli

but I just want to fug temmie

I played neither, should I change this?

I can recommend LISA.

I would have forgotten them by now if faggots with horrible taste wouldn't keep bringing them up.

Damn dude, that's a spicy pasta.

it's fra diavlo
