Yeah for some reason the game plays the songs at different speeds than the OST does.

>>199439
Pretty sure the speed is identical. It's just that when you convert MIDI to an audio file, you need to do that perfectly, otherwise it will sound inferior to MIDI being played in real time.

But that's not my biggest beef; my biggest beef is with the cutting. Toby cut every track at the point where it should loop (for the soundtrack release), but he cut them imperfectly, resulting... in what was released. You have to time yourself and guess, then manually loop the track, hoping it will turn out fine.

>>199440
No, I went back and listened to Toriel's theme and it's definitely faster and more upbeat sounding on the OST than in-game. There's Youtube remixes to fix the speed back to the in-game version too.

>>199442
Oh, I didn't paid attention. Anyway, soon I could record playing sound with Audacity (there is no such option for Apple computers).

I listened to the MIDI music in the game and the OST, and they both sound identical. I don't know why you think they sound different.

>>199446
MIDI music depends heavily on your sound card. So what sounds perfect on one computer might not sound right at all on another.

>>199444
Sans fandom is basically its own insane circlejerk now. I just hope they hurry up and fuck off so they can stop dragging the other characters down with him.

>>199472
please dont ship real people

>>199472
So what's the deal with the Temmie shop thing? I thought she was just some random enemy and the stuff with her owning a shop was just some fandom deal, is it actually in the game? Because if it is I completely missed it.

>>199482
I missed it too, but then I backtracked and found it (after cheating and watching a playthrough).

Basically, read every sign in the game, and in the general water cave area you will find a message "north - snail farm, east - Hotland, ??? - Temmie Village). That is your clue to search the areas next to the sign. Explore everywhere, even where the game will probably not let you go.

>>199482
In the first mushroom room after the save point south of Napstablook's house you go all the way to the bottom right, even though you technically don't see a path there.

>>199486
You just took away Grandwizard Whorefucker's joy of discovery.

>>199487
I honestly wouldn't have bothered.

It's cool how many secrets there are though.

>>199535
Would you be courteous enough to give us a description?

>>199541
My apologies. I thought people can click links and see what the title was.
It's an acapella cover of 'Death by Glamor'.

>>199543
On regularchan, clicking the link does just that. Here though, clicking automatically starts the video.

>>199544

And we used to see video titles as part of plus4's inline embed script, but that functionality broke after one of YouTube's updates and no one has ever bothered to fix it.

You know, I just realized I've almost definitely spent more time listening to the game's soundtrack than I spent actually playing the game.

>>199554
I think I'm the opposite, since I played the game for 33 hours.

I bought this game and played through it once. I killed as few of the enemies as I could, beat the final boss, and then beat the second final boss. I'm half-way through my second playthrough (because everybody kept saying that this is a game you need to play more than once), and, while I am finding things I missed on my first playthrough, I'm not seeing enough to keep my interest very much. Should I keep going, doing essentially what I did the first time? Did I miss something?

>>199559
>Did I miss something?
Yes, you missed the last 10% of the game because you didn't do a pacifist playthrough the first time. If you do it the first time you can just reload after the normal ending and go for the true ending.

>>199559
Are you sparing all the monsters and bosses? That's important to getting one of the endings.

>>199562
>make sure to kill the 20 monsters in the ruins before fighting any boss boss monster
I ment: kill the required amount of monsters in each area before fighting any boss-boss monster.

>>199562
You should probably delete all this instead of spewing it all out, the game tells you what to do so long as you go pacifist.

>>199562
I am doing a second run, not killing anybody. No letter for anyone, cannot date the adorable nerd lizard.

What have I done wrong?

>>199565
You have to get the neutral ending before you get the letter. After you've gotten that ending, go back to Mettaton's hotel and you should get a phone call from Undyne in the corridor leading away from the core.

>>199566
Well shit, that is some well hidden shit.

Good thing I have saved right before MTT's fight, so I still have time.

I just realized I might have killed a couple of Temmies. Does summoning Aaron actually kill them? Cause if yes, then the game is fucking stupid.
>hey, try this vague thing that sounds really funny!
>oops, you accidentally killed the enemy even though you didn't mean to, too bad!

>>199571
No? If you don't get EXP it doesn't count.

>>199573
Did you date Undyne? Did you help her in Hotland? Also Mettaton is super easy once you get used to his bullet patterns. He's mostly hard because he's unpredictable. Once you figure out the various gimmicks to his fight he's a breeze.

Then you probably just have to progress enough because I don't think she gives you the letter until very close to the end.

>>199577
After the end, in fact. You have to go back to Mettaton's hotel after you've been to New Home.

>>199578
Okay then. The king does tell you to "do all the things that may be unfinished".

You are straight up told to go see Alphys after the first ending

The Completionist - UNDERTALE: THE ULTIMATE ROUTE
//youtube.com/watch?v=-8gKDRjfKeo

>>199602
I used to be a "complete 100% completionist on the first try", but then I realized if you worry about missing stuff, you do not fully concentrate on what you do get. Basically, you lose the ability to enjoy a game if you worry too much about missing content. If an RPG is meant to be played through several times, just embrace that and do play it several times.

>>199603
Yeah I used to be the same way. Now I just think that not every game deserves to be 100% completed. Or rather, I'll only bother to do that completion if I really REALLY like the game.

>>199606
That's Sonic the Hedgehog levels of crazy there.

How can a fanbase be “cancerous” if you can actively avoid it—or at least filter it out? I’m a furfag, and you don’t see me going on and on and on about babyfurs or whatever.

>>199613
Lots of shitposters trying to start shit. Also because people who like Sans in particular are extreeeemely vocal. He is quite literally the Undertale answer to Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase in terms of concentrated batshit crazy.

UT got that because, as /v/ sees it, it's an "SJW" game that got popular. That's how a lot of those categories shake out each year.

Oh! One True Love in russian

To avoid PTSD, I will not watch that.

Was Mettaton that bad for you?

>>199629
Growing up in Russia was that bad for me.

The finale of the Undertale analysis I've been waiting for. A very interesting interpretation of Chara. Oh, and spoilers, duh.
//youtube.com/watch?v=Kbmlx-VYaao

How do I not kill Undyne? I've tried everything I can think of, and I can't seem to finish the battle in any way other than dealing lethal damage.

>>199670
Pay attention to her intro dialogue. Also did you try every nonlethal option?

>>199670
You are me. I killed her, and then the Internet told me to pay more attention to the menu options.

Here is a hint: during battles, your available options often change after several turns.

>>199671
>>199672
>>199673
Kicking myself for not spotting that the first time.

So I'm about to fight Mettaton. I hate looking for answers online, so give me a yes/no: do I have to kill him, or is there a trick like with Undyne where I don't?

>>199676
you literally don't have to kill anyone

>>199677
But you will have to fight Asgore to zero hp.

>>199677
>>199678
Good to know, thanks.

>>199680
you don't have to kill her either

>>199682
I was trying to kill him, and yet ended up sparing because I used the yellow pewpew thing also.

So now that I've beaten the game without killing anyone, I guess there's only one thing left to do, right?

>>199685
Yes. Stop playing.

Unless you mean you only beat Flowey. There's significantly more to the end if you do the sidequests.

>>199686
I played TP, did Genocide, wiped my Genocide cleardata, and redid TP before putting it to rest. Sure Sans will be a self-doubting wreck for the rest of his life but everyone else is happy, and besides if the whole meta-narrative thing really is play then Sans has all the bajillion fancreated AUs to be a Mary Sue in.

>>199685
KILL THEM ALL

2 weeks of being afraid, 2 weeks of procrastination.

Returned to the game, beat Mettaton in one try. And Temmie Armor is not cheating, I worked for that money!

>>199704
>and Asgore
lol nope

>>199705
>not wanting to forgive the man with the biggest #1 dad potential

>>199706
Well Toriel is kind of a dick.

>>199706
>child murderer
>#1 dad potential
Don't make me laugh.

>>199706
>>199707
Fuck off mate, Asgore's sins deserve no forgiveness, she is under no obligation to shack up with him again after all this time.

I don't think Asgore deserves to be punished per se but I definitely don't think Toriel has to hook up with him

>>199712
This. Though I don't like the Sans/Toriel ship either, not with the way most of its fans tend to portray things.
I prefer her to remain single for quite a while.

>>199715
She's got Flowey and So Sorry to keep her company.

>>199716
I wanted to find that character, dammit.

But then I learned he is only available once a year, or if you reset your calendar to a specific date, I said "fuck it".

What was it like? Visited there a few times in December or so and it was nothing but furries and Tumblr newfags posting about how much they wanted to fuck Asriel or Sans respectively.

>>199732
To this day I have no idea why the fandom is so insanely obsessed with Sans to the point that they seem almost proud about the fact that they've literally never touched the game he came from and will make borderline copyright infringing webcomic series built around the premise of Unlimited Sans Works.

If this thread isn't going to be about the game can we just let it die

>>199741
If you don't have any MERCY in you, you can always finish the thread.

It's up to you.

>>199740
MT, could you please use the furry thread on /pco/ for stuff like this. Thanks.

>>199741
There is a hide thread feature. If anything, this thread will just be Twister posting... stuff while I post videos or music.

>>199748
>The fuck?? How is fanart from a(n amazing) blog /pco/ material??
By itself it's not but we are all well aware of how you operate so if you could just go live your furry life out where you really belong that'd be better

>>199748
I thought it was from a certain blog for people with specific tastes. And calling someone jaded for seeing something like that you posted and calling it sexual would be the incorrect use of "jaded". Cynical would be a better term. It's you I'm... uh... adressing and you a well-known furry so I put 1 and 1 together. Still not clicking it.

>>199751
I... think you're thinking of Mr. Stone.

>>199752
Stone is also a furry yes, but he doesn't just constantly post about it.

Twister does, and has for years.

>>199799
Alphys lab reminds me so much of Re-Animator moreso the original short story.

>>200166
9.5/10

>>200610
I'm not going to watch that video but I can tell from the thumbnail what it is and how much I'd hate it.

The Game Theorists is one of the absolute worst channels on YouTube. No that is not hyperbole. They're fucking awful.

>>200615

Now likely to be even worse with direct support. By worse I mean more nagging by YouTube to watch the stuff.

>>200610
I don't really care why he gave The Pope Undertale, since my reason would be just "The current pope is actually a pretty cool guy, so why wouldn't he appreciate a solid work of fiction?". I don't need a 16 minute video tell me that.

That aside, I've mostly enjoyed a lot Game Theorist's videos. though right now I'm mostly waiting for him to make the obvious follow-up to claiming that all of the main Mario cast is crazy, which is to dissect Wario and claim that he's actually one of the more rational characters in the series.

>>200622
Other than the fact that The Pope doesn't have a Steam account. Or Steam. Or a computer. I mean if you're going to give him a gift, a string of letters and numbers seems... kind of stupid?

>>200623
Bet the British Queen has a steam account, she's a cool old lady.

>>200623
The better question is why the Pope agreed to see an "ambassador" for the YouTube gaming community. It's traditional to bring the Pope a gift that represents one's culture, and there's not really anything he could've brought that wouldn't have been of completely zero interest to the Pope for the reasons you're saying.

But he chose a game that's all about finding peaceful solutions to problems and forgiving your enemies. I mean I don't like the guy's show myself, but if you put it in context his choice in gifts isn't that weird.

>>200634
But would the Pope get any of that? Would he be able to experience any of that? I understand what you mean, put in that way, thematically, Undertale is a fairly fitting gift, but to give this in the form of the game itself to a non-video game player with no way to even play it and especially put in the form of a random 15 character alphanumeric string, well you'd think someone would've stepped in with a "maybe let's think this one over again for a second".

>>200623
If he doesn't have a computer, then how does he use Twitter? https://twitter.com/pontifex
He's Catholic, not Amish.

>>200635
That was what I meant with my first question. Why did they ask for an ambassador from the Youtube Gaming Community in the first place? It's not like he was chosen to represent a University or something. What was he *supposed* to choose that would've had meaning to the pope?

>>200752
They should've split it up or something.

If they need your immortal soul to be free, why are they all trying to smash it into pieces?

>>200758

I don't think they realize that you're fucking with causality and undoing your death each time. If the player character didn't have this ability, I imagine a monster might have successfully taken your soul and that'd be that. A lot of the monsters are just doing other stupid crap, like how Vulkin thinks it's lava heals or Woshua is using its magic to clean you...or we're over-analyzing a game mechanic. Plus, Monsters apparently use magic/bullets to do everything from cook to make birthday cards.

>>200758
Most of the monsters aren't trying to hurt you though, if you actually look at and/or read their actions. Woshua wants to wash your face, Tsundereplane wants to get close to you but not TOO close, that volcano thing just wants to party, slimemold just wants a hug, Temmie wants to pet cute humans but humans are allergic to Tem (and Tem is allergic to humans). Their magic just causes your soul more damage than they realize.

The few that are attacking are often just mad at EVERYTHING, like that reindeer in Snowdin.

>>200759
Your ability to SAVE is something NO ONE knows about, except for 2, maybe 3 people. Monsters do not even know about save points.

>>200763
Yes. It doesn't matter if anybody know about the ability to SAVE. I see Frisk's soul shattering as a defense mechanism. It matters not if the monsters are trying to kill or accidentally kill or take Frisk's soul, the humans soul appears to shatters as a safety precaution so it can try again. I'm sure there has to be something about DETERMINATION about this whole soul shattering.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

>>200836
Now this is a real meme.

>>200836

If it’s real: I dunno how the hell anyone could translate the game to comic book form without losing a good amount of the charm, but at least Archie could be trusted to not completely fuck things up.

If it’s fake: Ahwell. Damn good art otherwise, tho’.

>>200836

Wasn't a comic one of the backer tiers?

It's the one-year anniversary of Undertale's release. Feels like time's just flown on by.

This makes me feel young again. To have a major and important game I played, come out only ONE year ago.

The game just updated.

And I won't even know what the update did, since replaying it would make me literally Hitler (according to Toby).

>>201688

Most likely, it is patches and bugfixes for the Mac and Linux versions.
