i didn't get the undertale earthbound connection because i remember quite liking undetale whereas i thought earthbound was a grindy pain in the rear end like LISA

i think a Mother 3-Undertale connection is more accurate than Earthbound-Undertale

also my Earthbound story is that i played up until the Fourside Department Store, which is where the game really gets grindy. maybe i should go back and finish it, i dunno.

i still haven't played LISA but apparently it's sad with funny parts as opposed to Undertale which was funny with sad parts. confirm/deny?

It's a game that's possible to beat with no arms because you lost them both over the course of the game thanks to your gently caress-ups.

gently caress, i'm sold

You've made the right choice.

Also everything in the game, from art to writing to music, was made by one guy with no actual training or experience aside from one RPGmaker game. The game's soundtrack was made on a free trial copy of Fruity Loops

to be honest, the songs aren't really drawing me in as much as i thought they would. they just seem too jarring and eccentric, though i am listening to them out of context so maybe they fit the atmosphere perfectly and i'm just complaining for nothing

the moral of the story of undertale is that all lets players should be killed

i thought we knew this well beforehand

Listen to the music instead. I highly recommend it. That's probably over half of the appeal of the game right there.

pretty much. of all the reasons I've heard people say they dislike the game, the OST has never been one of them, and for good reason.

i'm seconding all these tracks by the way, along with Power of NEO, Save the World, Megalovania, and Hopes and Dreams

i still really can't believe that the entire OST was made by just Toby

We already know that video games can be art, Metroid Prime is the citizen Kane of video games.

i played Prime as a kid and i spent most of my time examining the dead bodies at the beginning to see how they died
