I've played it! by radioactiveSue on 2015-11-13 12:25:00 UTC Reply

I've finished the entire game EXCEPT for the final boss battle in the no mercy run. I've sort of given up on that run, but I will still (occasionally) try to beat it!
Been dabbling with it. by SeaTurtle on 2015-11-13 02:32:00 UTC Reply

Pacifist all the way.

My favourite part about the game is by far the OST. There's a lot of good tunes in there: Fallen Down, ASGORE, and Hopes and Dreams stand out in particular.

~~If you're also looking for another good game for 10$, try out FTL: Faster than Light. It's a really fun game and the OST is yet again phenomenal.~~

Ah! Nice to see another Captain around here. by SeaTurtle on 2015-11-13 14:19:00 UTC Reply

What's your favourite ship? I tend to fly either the Kestrel-B or the Fed. Cruiser-A.

I'm still in the process of unlocking them. by Fasoula on 2015-11-13 14:44:00 UTC Reply

But I'm partial to the Zoltan Cruiser Type A, myself. That shield and starting Halberd beam are just too attractive to pass up.

Ah yes, *that* game. by SkarmorySilver on 2015-11-12 21:50:00 UTC Reply

I followed the entirety of Game Grumps' LP of this game from start to finish, including both the neutral and pacifist endings. This is one of those games that really makes you think before you act rather than just level-grinding your way through every random encounter (and if you do the latter... be prepared to question your choices in life). The characters are also lovable in all their own ways even though not a single one of them is human. Mettaton EX is my husbando, sure, but my favorite character in the entire game has to be Alphys. She's such an adorkable little dinosaur scientist who actually goes out of her way to try and make friends with you, despite, well... I won't tell, because SPOILERS. ;)

Not exactly 'played it' by Matt Cipher on 2015-11-12 21:38:00 UTC Reply

but I have been following JackSepticEye's run of it which is absolutely hilarious! Especially the voice he chose for Papyrus which is basically Skeletor ("Nyeeeh!").

Stop watching. by World-Jumper on 2015-11-12 22:11:00 UTC Reply

I am not usually one to insist this, but stop watching and play for yourself. This game throws such loops and twists, that you just wont get with a lets play. Not properly, anyway. I don't want to say much (though you probably already know) but I will say this. The game is a program on a computer. And it knows that. And it uses that to play with all kinds of conventions and expectations. Watching after playing? More then fine, that's what I have been doing myself. Steam Train did a fantastic look at it, as has Dodger. But, for you and everyone else, do please pick it up. At very least to support Toby. $10. Not all that much for as much content and joy the game will provide.

Man, I feel like an elitist jerk for saying that, but I feel it needs to be said. It's just... very good. Really.

Yeah, not all that much... by Matt Cipher on 2015-11-12 22:47:00 UTC Reply

Until you consider that, due to the exchange rates, I have to pay thrice as much. So $10 for me turns into 30 PLN. And as a 'poor college kid' I'm currently on a game-buying rehab.

...You know what? I feel in a really good mood today. by World-Jumper on 2015-11-12 23:04:00 UTC Reply

You have steam, right? I'll gift you a copy. Do you want it sent directly to the steam account, or just a key with e-mail?

Oh, no, don't you dare! D: by Matt Cipher on 2015-11-12 23:49:00 UTC Reply

I appreciate it, really, but I wouldn't feel good about it myself!

I have some spare cash, and you are a poor college student. by World-Jumper on 2015-11-12 23:52:00 UTC Reply

Think of it like a Christmas present. Or something. Whatever it is, it's a gift. One that I am happy to give. Think nothing of it, really. So, how do I get it to you?
