I’m a casual Half Life enjoyer. Spent some time on the subreddit and man is it off the wall.
Tunic has an interesting fandom. That writing system has inspired a lot of cool stuff. The subreddit is censored six ways from Sunday because of how spoiler-sensitive the game is, but I have to wonder what random passers-by must think.
The Undertale fandom has permanently put me off trying the game. It’s not really my kind of game anyway, but I enjoy the soundtrack.
Minecraft has to have had the biggest demographic shift in its player base I’ve ever seen. I bought the game when it was in beta. Most fans were adults who were able to give a random Swede 20 bucks via PayPal. After the game’s release, and especially after the console ports and eventual MS buyout, the average age got younger and younger. I miss the old Minecraft forums.
I played Undertale and was kind of underwhelmed. The fandom would have you thinking it was the greatest game ever made
IDK, I was stupidly obsessed with Final Fantasy VII as a kid, to the point that I wanted to do a school project on it (I didn’t follow through thankfully). After playing other JRPGs I now know the story is by no means unique or groundbreaking, even if the game as a whole is well-executed.
I could see a naive young’un thinking Undertale is super unique but re-evaluating it later. Other “quirky” RPGs have come before (specifically the Mother series), so if you’ve played Earthbound first Undertale may not be so unique. I haven’t played Undertale, but I’ve read and watched plenty of content about it, enough to know what the game is doing.
Yeah, I think my mistake was not realize the praise was coming from a much younger demographic. I was really surprised by how little gameplay there is.
