Default Re: Perfect Randomness:Grinding:Skill ratio

I found an old monologue of how I felt while playing the

it's funny, because originally I didn't have anything against undertale but I wasn't interested in playing it. A friend of mine (who is a big nerd for these kinds of games) was like "man you gotta try this it's greaaaaaaaaaat" and he gifted it to me as a humble bundle (because I don't have steam ). And I was like gosh dang it man you know I wasn't interested in playing it but since you gifted it to me, I'll try it. I'm sure it'll be fun. I start the game. I watch the intro. The music makes me cringe.
But hey, it was an intro theme, like it's supposed to be bad, right? So I started the game up, picked the name "Mike" cause I wasn't in the mood for "ShovelKnight" and I fell through a hole.
The cutscene was actually pretty cool, drawings were well done. Reminded me of a newer GBC game. Anyway, after watching the cutscene I entered the ruins. DUN DUN DUN
I met a flower named flowey. He told me about friendliness pellets. I was like "huh, I don't remember friendliness pellets, maybe this part of the game is different" so I collected the friendliness pellets and felt cheated.
After toriel intervened I thought, flowey is a pretty well-designed character and toriel took me through the ruins like I was a child. I guess I technically was, and going through the ruins was pretty enjoyable but when we got to toriel's house and toriel did the thing
well...
idk her character just bothered me all of a sudden so when I tried to leave the ruins and she stopped me I couldn't figure out how to not kill her. So I killed her. After that, I met sans. Sans was pretty cool. I mean, his name is a pun. It's really clever.
To be honest, I didn't actually want to leave the ruins, but the game doesn't give you a choice. So I met sans, and he became my favorite character. Then I met papyrus. Who I instantly disliked. After solving a few puzzles and meeting a few really weird dogs (the dogs were just off-putting, I didn't like them very much) I finally made it to snowdin town, the first place with a soundtrack that really stuck out. It just matched the sleepy little village aesthetic pretty well.
So I made my way through snowdin town and met papyrus at the end of the village and he started to flirt with me :/
I was like, "ok, can't kill him, let's do this". I fought papyrus over
and over
and over
and over
and kept dying
and kept resetting
and after I finally beat papyrus my friend told me "oh, if he captures you 3 times he lets you go anyway"
>.>
Moving on to the waterfall, I did like the whole thing they had with the echo flowers that was actually a cool part. At this point, I muted the game because the sound was driving me crazy. Of course, this was the same part with the piano so I was a little at odds with myself there. I played the little ditty on the piano and the wall opened up. Inside was a legendary artifact. It made me really excited, but then a dog appeared out of nowhere and stole the artifact, which REALLY got me mad. The dog also left behind some dog residue. I tried to figure out what it did, but the info bar was no help so I saved at the nearby mouse hole and used it, and it filled up my inventory after doing nothing, so I tossed all copies of dog residue and was mad.
Then my friend warned me about temmie village and said it was imperative that I find it, but that he had never found it. So I went through the darkened room blindly and found temmie village. After looking around a bit I decided the place was worthless and couldn't figure out why everyone loved it so much, so I left and continued on. At this point my favorite character became the scraggy lookalike. He was kind of awesome. And then undyne happened. Dodging the spears was actually kind of fun but when I made it to the save point in front of the tunnel and she went all hardmode on me I started hating undyne :/ as fun as ddr is ddr that kills you isn't fun I died to her so many timesthat I finally just looked up how to beat her on google (a first! I NEVER look things up)so it took a while, but I finally beat undyne. I also took lots of long breaks after getting frustrated. I finally made it through the waterfall area which reminds me of the jolly octopus person, didn't like her, just wished she would go away. Then I made it to Dr. Alphys' lab-this is where things got stupid.
METTATON APPEARED
5 minutes later...
METTATON APPEARED
10 minutes later...
METTATON APPEARED
METTATON METTATON METTATON
EVERYWHERE
SCREW
METTATON
HATE HIM the mettaton battles were the absolute worst part of the game and it completely ruined the experience. I spent more time on a single mettaton battle than I did on the entire rest of the (non boss battle) game, it was SO impossible. I continued to the core where I fought very difficult battles and saw a sign that said "The End". I was very interested in finding an end, but when I went to "The End"it wasn't actually the end- it was just-surprise- ANOTHER BOSS BATTLE. This time it was the stupid spider lady. I had to try this one a couple times, and after it ended, IT TURNED OUT IT WAS A MISTAKE. I don't understand this. WHY are monsters fighting me when they're "good people"? LIKE, GOOD PEOPLE DON'T JUST ATTACK A KID IN A BANDAGE. After finally beating her I made it to the final mettaton battle, where I had to get his ratings up to 10,000. Well, I got his ratings up to 12,000, and didn't beat him. I was told to get his ratings to 10,000, which I did. At that point I gave up with the game because it was so frustrating.


Low-key I read this and felt bad for that kid
And it was me rip
