I like how that reddit post outright lies about bracket placement


if you know nothing about the contest, drawing ME3 and then Fallout 3 and then Super mario World does look like a really tough draw.


No, I mean it says that performance this round decides who it goes against next round. Beyond winning, that's patently false

so is undertale gaining ground fast enough to win?

I can't tell because I keep forgetting to actually refresh on consecutive updates <_<


It picked up a ton of steam like 20 minutes ago which has everyone saying this is basically over.

You guys know that not all of tumblr cares about feminism, right? And considering Undertale doesn't have any real feminist themes, I don't see why you'd assue they'd care anyway.

The greatest side effect of all of this - feminism debates in EVERY topic for the next couple months.


There is no "debate", since that would imply two sides with reasonable points to be made. Feminists want men killed, which is evil. The end.

If you actually care about the themes of MGS I consider it a failure too. For example it directly contradicts the message of MGS2 In MGS2 Hideo made the point that the player is NOT Snake, you are not some action hero, it's just a game, you need to get off the console and face reality and make something of your life; he turned your expectations on their head. It was absolutely brilliant game design. In MGSV he's like, oh you actually are Snake. You're so cool and awesome! Keep playing for 500 freaking hours now.


That's a bit of a silly reading

What Jack did is not good. He lied to you and manipulated you. You getting to "be" him and enjoy it means you have been taken in by "the legend" too, meaning you too are being manipulated by him. Jack can give you fanboy squeals by saying "you're Big Boss" because the title doesn't mean anything to him apart from as a tool to bring more people to his banner.

The story has elements of MGS2 about it - shaping someone into Snake, etc - but that's like saying it's the same idea as MGS4 because parasites and nanomachines serve similar purposes. It's similar to 2 in only the most surface way, as in "oh hey now the patriots are aware you can do this so they'll try it later". The lie in 5 is key to the "downfall" of Jack. He's fully aware that "the reality is no match for the legend" and that "legends are usually bad news" but rather than stay humble and modest like Solid Snake - the true, untouchable hero of the series - Jack actually used his legend to lie to, manipulate and betray people. He fanned the flames of it by creating a double to expand the legend, meaning said legend will now partly be comprised of "exaggeration, misinformation, and outright lies" - aka exactly what the true "villain" of the series, Zero, did.

It's way too simple to say Kojima was contradicting MGS2 or sending a mixed message or something. MGS2 was about way more than what you said and so was 5.


Kojima clearly wanted to make the fanboys squeal though. He's not sending some deeper meaning. I'm with you on the reasons for why the character did it. But it really seemed like Kojima gave in to the fans on this one. He's like fine, you're Big Boss, you helped make this legacy, and here's 200 hours of gameplay for you. Please love me.

The game is so haphazardly constructed in general that I just don't buy that there's some genius deeper meaning to the ending and Kojima is just "manipulating" us like that. He just straight up gave people what they wanted instead of making something with his own vision. And maybe it's not even his fault, maybe Konami pushed a lot of these decisions. Regardless, the game suffers.

they can 'want' all they want, fact is men around the world rape and kill women way more than women kill men. Men rule this planet. Let's let women at least complain a bit.

Yeah, this is pretty similar to the Draven situation. Both Draven and Undertale were lucky they faced weak competition round 1 because of how late the rally started. They'll be ready from the start next round, most likely.

Completely different. Draven was part of ridiculously popular game rallied on a specific sub reddit. This is just some random nerd getting help from his followers to support a niche indie game.

Mario is a well-beloved franchise, but it doesn't really have that level of physcotic devotion lower-profile games get. And Undertale in particular has some really funny and cool characters that are easy to build a fandom around.

The tumblr rally voted ANIMAL CROSSING over Mario World. There is no way Mario 3 is gonna win if they interfere.

This would potentially lend hilarious support to my bracket actually - if Undertale takes out SMW and Pokémon beat SMB3 and manages to resist the Undertale rally via SFF it would lead to my dream scenario of SM64>RBY.

But I wouldn't even feel good about it.

It really is the worst thing.

I really think SMB3 had a shot at it, but now? I have RBY but ugh, I'd rather have just taken a loss there if I was wrong than possibly get it right because a rally happened. And not even a rally for RBY!

I just mean that nobody's really going to go out of their way to rally for Mario the way they did with Undertale and Life is Strange. If this site had its way, both of those games would've gotten curbstomped.

Ulti will somehow find a way to laugh at everyone about it for looking like fools, then everyone will be frustrated, making Ulti even happier as he draws his power from their unhappiness.

I don't know that's going to work because Tumblr is more of a decentralized platform. Once people start reblogging the original rally post, even taking down the original rally post wouldn't do anything to stop the rally because people could also reblog any of the other posts that reblogged the original rally post.
