Undertale

There's a huge movement trying to get Undertale voted the best game ever in GameFAQs.
Personally, I think it would be hilarious if it won.

Nothing can top the time L-block won the best character contest.

People were so upset that Link or Cloud didn't win for the millionth time.

What was so special about the L-block anyway? I didn't get it.

I think it was a joke entry that made it all the way to the top because Internet

This is the same internet that made "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong" the winning flavor of a drink contest.

A shame, because had they not been so obvious, one of the other joke answers "Fapple", might actually have made it to production.

People on /v/ decided to piss off the people who take gameFAQs contests seriously by spam voting in the L-shaped block from Tetris, which went onto take the number one prize in the character battle contest, defeating even Link in the process. People on gameFAQs got really pissed off when it happened.

Back on topic: I really do recommend just ignoring fandoms in general for things that you like. Odds are if it attracts any amount of a community, you'll find particularly dumb stuff. I like to pretend that the various cringeworthy fandoms for various things I enjoy aren't simply there, and it certainly helps, sans (heh heh) the few times you find something that isn't entirely garbage and is worth acknowledging.

So uh, should I START with a 'kill-everything-and-burn-or-salt-the-remains' run?

There is no way to answer that question in either direction without massive spoilers, so you know, open at your own risk.

Spoiler: Don't click if you dont want shit ruined

Getting the bad ending taints every ending afterwards, and permanently alters the golden ending. Not even uninstalling the game will fix it, as it hides files in your appdata.

Given what this fanbase has come to, I'd do it just to feel like I'm putting those characters out of their misery.

Well, you know what they say: If you love something, stay away from the Tumblr fandom of it.

The best way to do it is go to a reddit or chan group about it that acts as a tumblr filter. Steals the good content while the drama and crap doesnt get through.

I gotta say, as much as Tumblr unnecessarily hypes up things, this is one of the very rare times they were totally right.

I'd recommend keeping that last. It helps to understand the story better from the other routes, plus the fights in it are incredibly tough.

Do a normal run first. It's okay to kill in that run a bit, since you can't get the true pacifist route done on your first playthrough--the game simply doesn't allow you to. After the first, do a pacifist run afterwards, since you'll have access to the real ending. For the third, you can do the genocide route if you like, though by that point, you may not want to, since a lot of people just don't have the heart for it then.

You don't have to start over to get the true pacifist ending on your first go through, they explicitly tell you to load your save and befriend more people if you haven't killed anyone when you reach the end. Since barely anything changes from neutral to pacifist I'd advise against doing a neutral run at all.

GameFAQs continues with its "Best Game" poll. Today it's Undertale VS Pokemon.

I really want to to see Undertale win this one, so I can drink of the tears of the pokefans. As bad as Undertale's fans can get, Pokemon fans are a bazillion times worse. I hope they get dunked on.
