Eh **censor**, late to the party but whatever. Crest did it.
A friend of mine and a good rp buddy bought me this game as a birthday gift and I ended up not playing it for a little while. I was pretty busy and whatnot. However, once I did pick it up... It was the game that taught me I suck at bullet hell.
I knew all about the morality system from the get-go, less by spoilers more by presented options and inference. That, and Toriel explained it pretty well. I, of course, did a Pacifist run. Flowey never bothered me, and I often wondered what role he might play later.
Needless to say I wanted to wreck his smug ass after Asgore (who I do really think is a character I can relate to in terms of personality). Of course I had no idea what I was in for, so I reacted a tad... Flabbergasted. By just how **censor** intense it was, anyway. The design was creepy in that fight, but I've seen far, FAR worse, so that didn't faze me.
The true pacifist ending actually brought tears to my eyes, something that a game has pretty much never done. I even backtracked the entire underground afterward, talking to literally everyone, hoping I could really save that last soul. Because he is a character that I love to pieces and just want to hug until he can be saved.
Anyway, my experience was positive beyond a doubt. I opted to not do a genocide run. Ever. Because I chose the Pacifist system, and I'm not about to go back on that - these characters are all far too great. So I watched Barry and Ross play a genocide run on Game Grumps. I uh, actually had to take a break from the videos a few times because feels. Poor Undyne... Jesus Christ the title of her geno battle track is too true.
But well, my favorite character was likely either Sans or Asriel, with a close one in Toriel. Sans loves puns, I love puns; Sans loves his brother, I love all of my siblings; sans is super relaxed and friendly, I'm super relaxed and friendly. The list goes on. Asriel, however... Well, reminds me of my youngest brother. And seeing that suffering and loss... Well, you can understand why I was so hung up on that ending based on that. And Toriel was just such a sweetheart to the core that I would have actually let my character hang out in the ruins a bit longer if I didn't know the result of that.
