The early bits of Undertale don't do it any favours, it picks up at the end of Snowdin but yeah that is pretty much the whole game, befriending weird monsters and not killing everything, unless you want to of course.

I would also recommend significantly lowering your expectations for Undertale. It's a charming, unique game but the unreal snowball of hype that surrounded it did it no favors.

It was tied with Ocarina of Time and TP if you count Sheik as from OoT and Impa as from Skyward (since she has the model from Skyward Sword)

Post all the DLC it ended up still tied with OoT iirc.

Ah, yes. I forgot about that. Sheik and Impa are both very good and strong ladies.

Groose still should've been playable. He gets a sort of cameo in the form of the Groosenator, so the devs at least know he exists!

Yes he really should, but I can live with the fact he's clearly being held back until Hyrule Warriors 2 where he'll be the second lead character behind Link.

Yuga being in also completes the trifecta of wacky bad guys next to Girahim and Zant.

Alternatively if you're just running from all the fights, maybe Undertale isn't for you because half the charm of the game is dealing with the monsters. I mean it's obviously an option you can do but. eh

I'd agree that finishing Snowdin (there's a boss so it's obvious) is a good final "do I care for this game or not" marker. It gets harder and the story and characters are introduced/develop more, but if you don't care up to then you won't care either

Couple of Okami questions this morning, guess this is the best thread for it

- Should I already have known who this Tao Master Waka guy is? I mean I like him but Ammy clearly doesn't
- Use Gold Dust immediately or wait for upgrades?
- When do I (presumably) get access to fast travel? Bet it has something to do with the 2 kinds of save mirror?
- Holy god that guy wants a lot of Demon Fangs???????

1) Just keep playing, you'll learn more
2) You can use it immediately. There is a limited amount but there's no real need to save the stuff, you'll get more.
3) To fast travel, you'll need to drop a lucky coin into one of the ponds that has a beam of light coming out of it. It'll get tutorialized pretty early on, and from that point on you'll just want to keep stocked up on coins. They're cheap so just buy a bunch whenever you're running low.
4) Yes he does. There are ways to increase demon fang output.

A larger time frame for people to give you money is a good thing for the company selling the product, even (especially!) if you're providing no benefit to the consumer in return. Why wait to allow people to pay for it when by then some other game might catch their attention and they'll spend their money elsewhere?

edit: I guess you're asking why a consumer would do this.....I don't really know the answer. Impulse buying probably? Which is what they want...

My girls aren't allowed to watch YouTube unless I'm sitting right there next to them, and it's horrifying how bad it is even with the content that's not objectionable. Just tons of grown women playing alone with dolls or dads wearing GoPros chasing their kids around and badgering them to open presents and play with toys that were provided by the company. "Oh HAYLEY, look what our friends at MATTEL HAVE SENT US TODAY!" But then you talk to other parents and they have similar horror stories, but no two families seem to watch the same things. The algorhythm feeds everyone different trash based off prior views.

You get to know Waka more as the game progresses.

Use gold dust right away if you want, you will get more.

You get fast travel quite early in the game, maybe 4 hours in?

Try to get demon fangs every fight by unlocking the pee move

My kid mostly wants to watch DGR and Mario YouTubers like Mayro NicoBBQ, and Ceave doing no coin or low point challenges. Which are pretty ok, no profanity and generally friendly, but Christ DGR's overacting on each Mario Maker death is so annoying and I swear half the time he's dying on purpose to really telegraphed traps.

It's like that because every channel that makes normal content ends up demonetized. A hellscape of kind of creepy upper-middle class parents shilling products and procedurally generated nonsense videos targeted at kids is what they are actively trying to create.

I've thankfully never had YouTube just automatically start playing a new video after one finishes like I've seen other people describe (mobile only thing?), so I can just adblock the panel of recommended videos.

Wish I could say that I was surprised. There's heaps of horrific youtube videos buried waaaaay deep that are loosely tied to actual kids content. You know how when you're just linking from one video to the next on youtube and the suggestions get less and less relevant because people clicked over to them from a lower traffic video and there's fewer people to influence the recommendations? Yeah, weirdos exploit that to get the algorithm to recommend bizarre body horror/etc stuff featuring disney characters (and the like) for literally no other reason than to scare and psychologically damage kids. A lot of less supervised kids will spend a lot of time just clicking through stuff on youtube. It's a serious problem. :(

Seriously, don't take youtube kids and the like for granted. The algorithm is dumb as gently caress, and there are some seriously hosed up "trolls" out there who will take advantage of it for kicks.
