Curious question, gauging interest. I still am heavily put off from minecraft, but still yet something can catch my interest.

How many of you remember this old plugin, and would there be any point remaking it for Spigot in this day and age?

Undertale isn't a good game.

It's a good novel.

It's not a good game.



Don't fucking have your story interfere with game mechanics.

____________________

For the purposes of adding extra challenge I don't really care. For the purposes of trying to permanently tell the player they're terrible for playing the "wrong" way, and intentionally trying to make the game less fun if you do play that way, or guilt tripping the player if they want to play your game again, I mind much more.

So, get this -- I don't feel much sympathy for pixels on a computer screen, except in very rare circumstances. Story is, if anything, a bonus. It's something I occasionally look at, and a truly good story does improve the game a bit, but it's much, much more minor to me than how the game actually plays. I can enjoy a game with terrible, or no plot, and wonderful mechanics. I can't enjoy a game that has the best story in the world, and utter boring drivel for gameplay.

And what Undertale does makes me feel personally slighted for having different feelings from everybody else.



(On a side note, I still think Mother 3 is the best RPG ever released for being able to expertly weave both an amazing story and amazing gameplay into one game.)

but most of those things toy talked about, such as playing "wrong" or guilt-tripping you, and all that other stuff, is a thing that is only done through the story, so if you don't care about the story, then it should follow that you don't care if the story is talking down to you or making you feel bad, correct?

I'm not an emotionless robot, and there's a difference between a "bad" story (that I can just ignore) and one that's giving a gigantic middle finger to the player for something they've done that's not even relevant to their current playthrough (which, again, makes me feel personally slighted). I said it was minor, not that I don't care at all.



I apologize for not being able to sum things up simply, I still have problems putting things into words sometimes.

But, you know, when 90% of the responses to what you're saying are vitriolic knee-jerk hatred regardless of how well you explained your points, there's not much encouragement to learn how to explain yourself rather than just hide.
