Nah, I don't think so. The Earthbound comparison's an apt one in a lot of ways, and that's hardly forgotten.
It goes without saying, of course, but I love how many of the people who are angry about this haven't played or watched a second of the game, and are getting it ENTIRELY wrong.
Do your JOB, Allen.

It's about time for a new winner.
This poll means nothing,but it still refreshing to see someone else wins it for a change.

Did you get all 3 endings? That's when it becomes mind-blowing.
A lot of people just get through the neutral ending and never go back to the game, so they don't realize its full potential.

My bad, but thanks for the correction. I'll edit it.

I don't think so. he'd be crazy not to try + port it to con$oles at this point. that'll take a minute.
that+Steam sales means there's a potential audience of millions that still have yet to get around to playing the game.
It's funny seeing the hate and conspiracy threads on gamefaqs when Undertale was my genuine pick for all of its matches. I probably wouldn't vote for it over games like Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Silent Hill 2 but it never went head to head with any of those, I guess that speaks to the tastes of the general gamefaqs voters. Even so, Undertale is certain to become a modern classic and deserves the votes it gets. When a game makes me not want reset and attempt another story route because of how much I care for all the characters, that's the sign of an amazing game.

I've been enjoying watching this play out. Undertale really is something special, and I doubt it will easily be forgotten.

Cuckholding is pretty hot so I should probably go finish Undertale.
Oh, I thought it was something more representative of the final game not only a tutorial.The demo is the tutorial level

There's a lot of stuff in Undertale that simply wouldn't work outside of PC. The minute-to-minute gameplay would work fine, but a lot of what makes the game interesting would need to be heavily altered.
Why would it be? It's already more succesful than some indie games that get recommended years later.

Yeah it's one of those games that resonated with me which rarely ever happens. So glad to see it doing well and other people enjoying it too.

People actually getting upset over an internet poll is hilarious. Not as hilarious as when Launchpad McQuack won that one poll on Gfaqs, but hilarious still.
It's the opening area of the game. The game gets immediately better after leaving the cave.

It just gives you a basic idea of the game and a little bit of the underbelly if you replay it in different ways.
What makes this any different from any other indie game that developed a cult following? Fez, CaveStory, Binding of Isaac, or even Minecraft?

You can't really port Undertale to consoles due to platform restrictions.
While I don't think it's the best game of all time personally, it sure as hell crushes every other game it has been up against sans (*wink*) perhaps SMW.
Definite GOTY if nothing else. Sad to see that so many people need to be fed PR and brand recognition in order to accept greatness.

The whole premise of this poll is laughable. There is no such thing as a "best game ever" and the only people this poll appeals to is the irrational. A more apt approach would be to have a competition with regards to each genre. So, for example:
Best FPS of all time: Half Life series.
Best Adventure game of all time:
Best sports game of all time:
Best RPG of all time:
Best JRPG etc etc

Also I'm pretty sure every Gamefaqs poll has been sabotaged by outside people, they should probably expect this at this point
But if it makes dumb nerds upset then by all means

Guys. Guys.
The important thing here is The Witcher 3 reaching Round 2, and Bloodborne losing in Round 1.

I remember the meltdown when Tails didn't win 'best sidekick' character and instead the other duck from Ducktales won. It was amazing salt.
I'm glad that it isn't just OoT winning everything as per usual- but come on, Undertale is a lame game. It's the corridor shooters of RPG- it is not Earthbound- it's barely anything, you just walk around a memeverse and make gaemr 'jokes' about how rpgs function but there's nothing mechanically to explore the idea aside from a tiny novel non-violent method of winning encounters that already has a 'flee' option that works most of the time anyway.
Oh well, at least it wasn't some microtransaction f2p mobile game.
Nah, it'll hold it's popularity a year. It's pretty unique (and really good) in what it does and it might inspire a few clones/games that attempt similar stuff.
I agree it'll probably be forgotten eventually but i'm pretty confident it's popularity will hold until the end of next year.
A "poll" or "contest" that hasn't any kind of legitimacy.
I'm actually playing the game and it definitely needs to be known to all RPG players.

I wonder what makes people think Undertale's just going to disappear. That's not how it works.
It's gotten more popular month after month. I've been seeing graffiti of this game. I wouldn't be able to escape this game if I tried. You won't, either, no matter how much you tell yourself everyone's just going to stop liking it.
So why don't you just... give in?

The demo is pretty bad. I had a horrible time playing the demo, to be honest, and it took me a long time to give the proper game a shot. I haven't played too much of the game, but everything after the demo has been much better.
That gif is great!

Lol. Spoken as someone who hasn't finished the game. How wrong you are. The jokes aren't very meme-heavy at all though some do require perhaps a bit much knowledge of gaming and older internet culture. The pacifist way of winning encounters is more akin to a modern rpg dialogue tree than anything else and is actually where most of the story in the game happens.

Only thing I can think of that wouldn't really transfer well is the
essay.
Also game title bar changing names I suppose.
There's some conceptual stuff with the Genocide route that I think wouldn't work, but it's not that much.

That post is like a torrent of ironi. Keep the boards about video games instead of SJW politics, by spreading the word about how Undertale is a SJW game.. What?
But it's almost to perfect, so I'm not convinced it's a real elaborate troll.
There's stuff you can't erase even by erasing the save file.
PC Mac and Linux, it has virtually no system requirements, I´d recommend plugging in a controller if you´re a console person, helped me millions.
You could probably run it on whatever you´re using to post here

Perhaps forgotten is the wrong word. But you're right, other than MC. I can see it having a cult following for some time.
Do this poll again next year though, and I guarantee it doesn't get anywhere near the top. Of course, half the results of this content make no sense to me, and indicate things about the GameFAQs audience I'd have expected to shift by now (like Smash Bros Melee winning over FF7).
Really? I've heard people be crazy about it for months now all over the place. Tumblr and 4chan both love it. And GameFAQs and GG hate it with a passion. It's a game that probably will be generally remembered.
