Top 10 Things That Made Undertale As Overrated As It is Today

The Top Ten
1 Sans and Papyrus

Undertale's good. The fandom's unhealthy obsession over Sans and Papyrus? Not good. They don't even play that big of a role in the game (except Genocide, but that excludes Papyrus), and according to the fanbase the whole game revolves around them. I like Sans as a character but with the fandom's obsession I just can't as much with the fandom's, ahem, *cough*rule 34 stuff. They're good characters, but the fandom pretty much dwelled and destroyed the best parts of the game. I'm not a big fan of Undertale, but acknowledge that it's a well-developed. The fandom, however, ouch.

The fandom is OBSESSED with these characters. The whole fanbase thinks undertale revolves around sans and papyrus (mostly sans)! Ugh, I hate all those sans fangirls! Some AUs have only sans (dreamtale even has an extra sans! )! Honestly, I like sans, but he's so overrated that I don't like him as much. Also, I prefer Mettaton. OH YESS!

Honestly, they're both great characters with great development, but it's just sad how the fandom has ruined them. Sans is a funny and nice dude, Papyrus is a sweetheart. It's saddening to see the fandom has literally destroyed them with overrated "memes" and porn. Toby even Tweeted himself "Papyrus doesn't know what things [sex] like that are and Sans is too lazy to do anything with anyone." Of course, people won't listen to that. Poor skelebros though.

I see them too much especially as Youtube avatars. And what is so special? People love to boast about how they speak in their respective fonts but that just seems like a dumb gimmick if you ask me. I could go on for Hours on why I don't like this game.

2 Steam literally forcing people to give the game positive reviews

How did that happen? How do they force you?

Undertale is overrated. Seriously, the characters are creepy, the fan base will give you nightmares, and overall it's just not a good game

The toxicity that's shown to even mildly negative reviews is quite disappointing.

The game is good, though I wouldn't say this is true lol

3 Highly autistic fanbase

How do you call basement dwellers that avoid social contact and go absolutely ape over a mere mediocre product because "its got pop culture references " and its "quirky and indy" but mostly because they never stepped outside and have no points of reference? Autists.

For all the absolute crap the fanbase posts on the internet with literally 0 quality control they are like the bronies or steven universe or some other cringeworthy network of idiots devoting their lives to worshiping someone else's work.

I know the fanbase is annoying and basically ruined the game but please do not call anyone autistic if they are not it is really rude and offensive to some people

Honestly, before 2016 the fanbase was GOOD. Full of mature teenagers.

Then came the YouTubers and their little children fans.

Now the fanbase is full of 12 year olds. Thanks YouTube.

4 The game being way too easy and in desperate need of a Hard Mode, which is luckily planned to come out later

Yeah openly admit not having a game with a harder difficulty is kind of a let down. I want to replay the game with much harder enemies to provide an interesting challenge. I know the game kind of does have a hard mode but it doesn't really last long does it?

I'm sorry, but have you ever tried to beat Sans during the Genocide route? Haven't played the game myself yet, which I'm planning to, but that fight took most YouTubers literally HOURS!

Hey. They have a hard mode. Enter your name as Frisk. Have fun with that.

It is NOT easy...You obviously haven't played Genocide run.

5 Being called the best game of not only 2015 but also the entire decade so far and perhaps even of all time

Well now I see why it's overrated...The fans who said this are obviously obsessed with Undertale..

Only time will tell if this game can stand the test of time. If it still is received well by the end of the decade then maybe...

Incorrect. It was a highly great game. Not the BEST.

If anything chose Mass Effect 2

6 The battle system

True, true
It combines RPG and bullet hell, so it's not revolutionary

It's not that "revolutionary" that they say.

7 Cute characters

Come on! There's a ton of cute characters like Alphys, Papyrus, Temmie, etc! I don't get why half of the fandom just forget about all the other characters and just focus on Sans instead!

Mark my words. Sans is not cute. He's ugly

8 Being considered as literally part of the Mother/Earthbound series
9 Comically overblown and oversized fanbase
10 Inspiration from Earthbound and Mother 3, which are both also insanely overrated games

I don't think they're overrated just miss judges because most of people have never had gotten to play the games to me way better than undertale to you it could be overrated it's not overrated it's just people wanting to do what they can't do like you wanting to crap on a game people praise I rest my case

The entire MOTHER franchise is better than Undertale

At said time it was more underrated than overrated

Mother is not overrated._.

The Contenders
11 People claiming that the game is considerably darker and more mature than it actually is

What? In either route the main character gets tortured and murdered by flowery for over 30 times, in the other route you get possessed no longer have the ability to do anything, kill everyone that exist, the last person who tries to stop you succeeding multiple times finally dies because your practically immortal.

You proceed to kill the universe, restart is and do it infinite of times over again.

This is the definition of dark, also not sure where you got the “mature part” the game prides itself in being filled with comedy

Genocide Route. Watch a playthrough, then tell me if it still isn't dark and mature.

12 Exteremely excessive praise from most of its reviewers
13 Better humor than what you would find in most games

You're right. That is pretty funny humor that you think Undertale has humor. If you're looking for a humor game play either Sonic Boom games.

Undertale was a good game. Keyword: was. The fandom, of course, ruined it. They started shipping characters that didn't belong and even wanted to meet Sans. THEN, they made horrible games like DUNDER-TALE or ABOVE-TALE. Undertale slowly got worse and worse. Now, it lies in hell.
Fandom whispers: (just like frisk-)

How does it being better mean it's overrated. Wouldn't if it's highly rated for a resin make it aptly rated?

14 People who want to fornicate with skeletons

You already have a damn skeleton inside yourselves, numbnuts

Spooky scary skeletons

15 People promoting the game way too aggressively for their own good
16 People who focus all of their attention on the stories of games rather than their actual gameplay
17 The fact that it even got better reviews than Xenoblade Chronicles

Hold on, what? Xenoblade blows Undertale out of the water.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore

18 The absolutely insane hype train demanding everyone to play the game as soon as humanly possible

All 4 of my AJ roleplay friends love it and tell me to play it even though they know I hate it.

19 Megalovania

This goes for the OST as a whole, coming from a huge Undertale fan myself. Undertale has a very good OST. There are songs in it that are downright beautiful. But, first of all, Megalovania isn't even the best track in the OST. I guarantee you it's the most popular due to it being attached to sans. Second of all, it isn't even the best OST of 2015. Hotline Miami 2 holds that throne, if you were to ask me. You might often hear comparisons drawn between Undertale and Touhou. Far better songs have come out of that series as well. Both Hotline Miami and Touhou are indie games, mind you.

Honestly, it's a good track, but there are WAY better tracks in the game i.e Hopes And Dreams, Spider Dance, Bonetrousle, Dummy, Death By Glamour...

First time is nice, but after awhile and hearing other tracks it does get tiring fast.

I don't get the feel of the song the other 2 final boss themes are better

20 It some how got a ps4 and PS vita release
21 The game officially achieving Cult Classic status
22 Sympathy for the fact that it is an indie game

Just saying, but indie games can be good, you know. Well, some are bad, but really, most of them are good.

Indie games aren't classics they can be fun but classics are way different

IGN gave this a 10... It's no where near that great. So many better games came out in 2015 from AAA developers such as MGS V and Witcher 3. Plus Outlast is a better indie game.

Indie =/= Automatically good. I've played Indies with better Graphics than this MSPaint Garbage. I wouldn't have minded it if people wern't being complete Nuisances about it. I don't judge Indies differently from AAAs because I don't think they're any different (I.E. Kickstarter Scams and Pay to Win Microtransactions)

That being said, The Premise is preachy. The gameplay is a snoozefeast. And the Characters look Hideous and goofy not to mention trying too hard to make you feel so sorry for Asriel along with the rest. The soundtrack is cool the first few times though but overexposure to it kinda makes me hate it.

And seeing everybody wouldn't shut up about it makes me almost Misanthropic.

23 The Pacifist Run

The ending is just so happy it makes me cry and undone in a bikini is hilarious

They say it's the only route, and they force you to do it.

This game is too stupidly optimistic and naive, like ralsei deltarune

the monsters attack you, you don't choose to fight them, and still you are punished for defending yourself

if some crazed criminal came to your house and you tried to hug him, he wouldn't become calm, he would stab you to death

also ness earthbound needs to cheat to not die in one hit like the rest of those monstrosities

it is truly too overrated, even earthbound beginnings was better and it was the worst in its series

Pacifist is my fave run (never. killing. METTATON! )

24 The "geeeettttt dunked on!!!" meme

This thing only appears ONCE in the game, yet, it is the most sick and repeated bunch of words together.

25 Sans' boss fight

They talked SO MUCH about it!
