Actually I'm amazed ANYONE here over 10 years still actually answers the polls. I think I stopped doing that over 20 years ago.

I answer the polls more than I post. The poll is way more engaging than the users. I miss the heavier moderation rules....

Compared to other GTA games?

We're comparing it to this. I don't understand how this is even a contest. This is some silly shit

GTA V cannot even touch the heels of P4G. It's that low of a game.

Sad that GTA IV was not this decade because that one is the best GTA.

Surprised this topic isn't gonna make it to 500. Or made it there much faster.

I didn't make this topic trying to get to 500. For some reason people want it to get there.

This was intended to, and achieved to, prove that anti-voters that made Undertale lose against Octopath are just as bad or worse as Tumblerinas when it comes to corrupting contests on the site.

The best JRPG of the last decade vs a $60 beta for a microtransaction riddled online service disguised as a single player campaign devoid of the trademark superb storytelling that lampoons American society through the eyes of a relatable unique protagonist of previous GTAs?

P4G has it in the bag.

garbage game gets knocked out in round 1

Can you try harder? That's not even good trolling.

It would be nice if SB gave his opinion on the matter. The last time I saw him engaging in conversation like a normal user and not the admin was like 3 years before CJayC left.

As much as I hated them ruining 2015's contest, I haven't met a single Undertale fan that has flamed, insulted or done anything of sorts to other people.

That's another point. Undertale fans came together and did something for their game. The consequence was the tainting of a contest which is a bad thing. But they didn't have bad intentions.

Butthurt anti-voters on the other hand, have bad intentions AND taint the contest. They're worse.

Nintendogs posted...

Can it be okay to use that as a reason not to play Undertale?

I really gotta wonder if Undertale fans would stick up for League of Legends like they do with their game in this thread.

It is not a good reason to not play a game.

People have forgotten but the Dark Souls (Or Demon's Souls for fellow OGs) fanbase was pretty wretched. The "git gud"" joke was not a joke or used ironically, people hated us. And now, no matter what your personal game of the decade is, you'd be a fool to argue that Dark Souls is not a top contender for Game of the Decade. Even more of a fool if you anti-voted it for not having "gitten gud".

TsunamiFox posted...

Where did I judge the game?

Fam there are thousands if not millions of games I could play. My backlog will never be cleared. And most of those games are probably more enjoyable than Undertale.

tl;dr get better bait.

No one is trying to bait you. You don't see the problem with approaching the topic from that standpoint?

TsunamiFox posted...

Not afraid.

It's not surprising then when people obsessively praise something and browbeat people who haven't played it that it's going to alienate people and make the fandom look bad.

Bu that's just it. You're judging a game by its fandom. That would make even Dark Souls bad.

Waluigi1 posted...

It's similar to the way I see hipsters. Hating something because it's popular is just as bad as loving something because it's popular. Either way you're letting someone else decide your opinion for you.

I like my analogy because it includes shit flinging. But yeah, this explanation is a million times better for this situation.

Even if you say he's acting like someone from tumblr, he's clearly not acting in favor of the way they would. It's like using the methods but having a different goal.

Angry manchild behaving like a spoiled brat over Undertale equals tumblerina in my book. Even if he "hates" it.

Think about it, would you go near a pear-eating monkey that likes to throw its pear shit? Nope.

Would you go near an apple-eating monkey that throws its apple shit just because you agree that apples are better than pears? Also, nope. Because they're both rude shit flinging monkeys.

Tumblerina is tumblerina no matter what type of shit they fling.

The Utility Man posted...

Wouldn't this make him an anti tumblerina boi? =p

What do you call someone whose decisions are bound by tumblr?

The Utility Man posted...

Well he did say "Almost no", so he is right. Despite the topic's amount of posts, there aren't many long timers who are acting upset.

While I can understand that some people may be annoyed with how he's acting, I seriously doubt he is a tumbler person, especially seeing as he doesn't like Undertale.

I don't mean that he literally comes from tumbler. But if your actions are still the product of a rally that happened on Tumblr 5 years ago.... you're a tumblerina, boi.

Yuri_LowelI posted...

The butthurt over Undershit losing is satisfying.

Stop trying to make this topic longer, closet tumblerina.

TsunamiFox posted...

Nah fam we going to 500 now

Just don't anti-vote.

Yuri_LowelI posted...

Thank god this game is dead.

DEAD.

FINISHED

now end this thread.

We can talk about DELTARUNE if u want.

Mortainous28 posted...

I played Undertale when it won a few years back to see what the fuss was about. It was nothing to write home about. And it certainly was not the game that should have won that contest.

Seeing it fall in round one should have been expected. It is certainly not the game of the decade. Not even close.

Which has never been the point. Octopath is even further away from being Game of the Decade. The point was and still is that the anti-voters are still a product of a rally that happened almost 5 years ago. The rally ended but it is still manipulating votes. I know that having tens of thousands of people vote solely on a game's merits is extremely idealistic, but I would still like for the rally to stop having the influence that it has. Anti-voters may think they're bringing about justice but they're just more mindless tumblerinas bound by said rally.

I also don't think Undertale deserves to win the contest, but for fuck's sake, 5 years later and it is still dictating outcome of matches.

can we go back to the alpha/beta topics

TsunamiFox posted...

I don't get how you guys aren't understanding this.

Other than L-Block most people here don't like Meme/Joke rallies like Undertale and Draven.

L-Block was no different.

MyMainAccount posted...

Personally, regardless of all this fuss, I found Undertale to be one of the best games Ive played this decade. It had a lot of heart and it made me laugh more than a few times. The extreme level of vitriol still here, Im surprised that Im actually a little surprised by how serious it is, but I am. Its a shame a game about looking past the surface and finding common ground through understanding is getting so many people to dismiss it without a second look. And hey, if you just arent interested, obviously thats fine. But dont let these polls dictate your taste, youre just making yourself angry and unhappy.

Amen

The problem with what you guys are calling anti-voting is that it is still something born out of the rally, albeit years later.

Being an anti-voter is effectively being the same as the people that participated in those terrible rallies back then. It makes you even more a of a fool because at they were participating in those practices consciously and willingly, while the anti-voter is ignorant that he is the same.

What Im saying is, anti-voting keeps the a 5 year old rally alive and impacting our contests.

Skeletal_King posted...

Nope., You know what that's called? Justice.

Octopath > Undertale.

If you like Octopath more that's valid. If you think it's justice then you're a tumblerina.

wg64Z posted...

The amount of people personifying a video game like it hurt them personally here is scary.

It's a game, a really good game. We're voting based on the best game. Not on past rallies, contest results, fan bases or spite. Yeesh.

Get. Over. It.

Exactly. They can't disassociate fandom from game.

imthestuntman posted...

I've tried undertale like 3 times and found it incredibly boring.

Which is okay, you should vote on what you think of the game, not their fanbase. That's why I think it losing was ridiculous. It's obviously the preferred game but people hold petty grudges.

Sens-Hangar_18 posted...

Reminder that Undertale won best game of all time thanks to bots a few years ago. It deserves this.

The people behind the bots do. Undertale doesn't.

Mythiot posted...

I honestly do want to play Octopath, since I'm very fond of JRPG's, everything about it looks good and I don't swear vengeance over a silly contest.

Honest advice. i pre-ordered that game and was my most expected game at the time. It's not what it looks like. Graphics are gorgeous yes, but the story(ies) flop hard. Get the Bravely default games, some of the same people worked on it but they scratch the RPG itch much better and have basically the same combat.

Yuri_LowelI posted...

No Undertale Beating Pokemon Red, Mario 64 and OoT is fucking ridiculous

So excuse me if i'm not showing any sympathy for this fucking game.

You're exactly like the people that made Undertale win those times. You just happen to be on the other side of the fence. This is about the games in and of themselves. Not justice. Instead of creating a balancing instance, you just helped create another ridiculous undeserved loss. You are in all the ways that matter just another Undertale Tumblerina.

Undertale was good.

I get it, the "deep fandom" can be extremely annoying but the game itself was great. maybe not Game of the Decade but definitely better than fucking Octopath traveler. That game looked so promising I go the ultra super special edition and hated almost every minute of it.

I feel like Transistor is super good but the ending was anticlimactic. That's why for me it's Pyre>Bastion>Transistor.

Yuri_LowelI posted...

Pyre was a snoozefest. Not my style of game

My Fav Supergiant game is actually Hades.

I bought it day one but I'm patiently waiting for full game.

My game of the decade is Pyre but Bastion upsetting some brackets, mine included, will do for now!

We totally would have known, had he not disbanded the National Council dedicated to pandemics.
