No, but it's hardly the only choice, and frankly to me the absolute worst people in the Undertale fandom are the people who INSIST that Papyrus HAS to be Skeletor (and that Sans HAS to sound like whatever CZcamsr those kinds of people insisted he sounds like). Honestly, if I was directing an Undertale movie, I'd instruct the actor playing Papyrus to stay as far away from a Skeletor voice as humanly possible just to spite the bullies.

This playthrough is actually really funny in an interesting way. Since Undertale popularized a lot of hallmarks in modern indie games, Waligug's already seen the effects of Undertale without knowing the source which makes the game weirdly predictable to him.

The more years since the game’s release, the more charming I find blind plays. Finding one 8 years in is such a rare gem, and I’m actually impressed that despite avoiding spoilers and gameplay for so long, you were still able to figure out a lot of the less intuitive solutions without your chat backseat gaming (also as a side note, I witch-cackled out loud at the edited “you should kys right now” meme with undyne)
Man, is it just me, or is Undertale getting a bit of a revival? This has to be the third person recently I've seen playing it for the first time. Edit: since I've had multiple people ask, the two people in question are Therm (highly recommend! His voices are great!) and Solidarty (specifically the VOD channel if youre looking for it), but Bijuu Mike is also doing it, apparently.
like charmed said, it's the 8th anniversary, but we're ALSO approaching the release of Deltarune's NEXT chapters (finally!!!!!!!!)!! I'd say the slow release of Deltarune has definitely helped keep the hype for both games up for longer than it would have.

One of the more common ones. I believe it's a 5% chance. Not even close to the chances of something like Mystery Man (0.1%) or even the Gaster followers (0.5% or 0.2% depending on which one). Also to the other replies, Goner Kid is the second most common fun event in the game at a 10% chance. The only thing more common is the wrong number song. Despite what everyone seems to think, the fun events aren't that uncommon. You're actually almost guaranteed to see at least one of them. There is less than a 5% chance that you do not get a fun event. The reason they seem so rare is because you can only get one per run.
Favorite minor detail is that toriel's eyes are colored on the chat box. She is the only character who's eyes are colored like that, it's hard to notice though because her eyes are dark brown

To be honest, evading Undertale spoilers for 8 years is probably the same difficulty as evading taxes for 8 years. Just a rough estimate.

Seeing the epilepsy warning at 39:53 say "Skip to 55:05," but then it's the "cool dude" special attack made me laugh. XD Epilepsy warning actually ends at 40:06
i find it crazy that people have managed to avoid the "flowey was asriel the whole time" spoiler for this long. trying to dodge that back when the fandom was in its first huge wave was like trying to hide from machine gun fire 😭
I beat undertale for the first time a few months ago and to give you some insight, I was so distant from the undertale fandom at its peak that I was never really spoiled. The biggest things that were spoiled for me were maybe popular osts and the memes that became crazy big like “you’re gonna have a bad time”. Even then, I never had the context for those things, so I never cared that much, hell I never planned to play undertale so I just didn’t care that much. You just don’t pay attention to this stuff or retain it when you have no interest.
i find it interesting that undertale basically telegraphs most (if not all) of its punches, if the player pays enough attention. literally just reading and acting as the game tells you leads you down the true pacifist path. but iirc when it came out, so many people were used to classic grindy rpgs, the effect it had was huge. hell, this can be seen in some other youtube playthroughs as well, like in pointcrow's. he got to like lv10 or 14, and the regret in his eyes when the game basically slapped him across the face with consequence after consequence for his actions was palpable lmao and the best part is, even if you go straight for the true pacifist ending, you get an amazing experience. no matter how you play, the great writing, amazing music, fun gameplay just keeps you engaged (unless you go on that one route, in which case all warranty is void lmfao). but everyone gets their own personalized experience, depending on the context they start the game with. truly a wonderful game, and i'm happy to see people find out about it, even after its heyday :) the fanbase has thankfully somewhat mellowed out, although if you dig deep enough into any huge fanbase you'll always find some rot. that's just the sad truth. excited to watch the rest of this playthrough :) you're very perceptive and funny as well. perfect wombo combo
WRONG YOU DO NOT GET AS GOOD OF AN EXPERIENCE IF YOU GO PACIFIST FIRST I understand the whole quality of an experience is subjective but even as someone who played true pacifist first, I can not recommend it. Well if I had to recommend anything it'd be to go into the game spoiler free, but even if you know the whole story it still is important to do a neutral run first simply for the experience. The neutral ending calls are not only some of the most interesting dialogue in the game, but they serve the important narrative purpose of reminding you that your actions have consequences. The reason that every neutral ending is a little different is because your choices do matter, and getting at least one of those endings is important for cementing yourself in the story as an actual actor within the story. Yes I understand that neutral pacifist also gives you a call but it's not the same, all the events after are the results of Flowey's choice to kill the king, not any of your choices. So by skipping a neutral run, you've sidestepped such a major part of the game that it's like you've skipped straight to the ending. There's a reason that one of the common critiques of Undertale back in the day was that it is too preachy and on a moral high horse, it's because most people played neutral first. But what those people didn't understand was that that's the point. Undertale is not supposed to be a punishment for being a gamer, it's designed to be a twisted reflection of RPGs but it's also a love letter to the genre. TL;DR: Neutral is absolutely necessary because it sets the stage for pacifist emotionally.
@@theflyingspaget i understand; that was part of my point. you can ruin the experience yourself by gunning to the best ending first, but even in this ruined state you'll have a great time.
@@RatcheT2497understandable this was less directed at you and more at the old fandom trend of harassing streamers who didn't immediately play true pacifist
@@theflyingspaget that's fair :) yeah that is a pretty annoying trend that still persists to this day. it's understandable why people do it, but does suck out a fair amount of the joy of discovery. pointcrow's playthrough is really interesting for that reason - he basically only listened to chat once it was far too late and the emotional toll of his actions crashed down on him all at once :D not to mention the punches that kept coming later down the line.
1:08:13 holy fucking shit, i have NEVER seen someone actually understand the "talking flower" conversation before literally ever. every other blind let's player i've ever seen just assumes they thought wrong immediately and completely dismisses the rest of the conversation the moment the echo flower is brought up. i haven't finished the video yet, but even if this guy forgets the whole conversation within five minutes like every other let's player, he's still surpassed my expectations by simply realizing that sans IS talking about flowey, and was making an incorrect assumption in thinking it must be an echo flower.
LITERALLY THIS!!! its in yellow text and everything! honestly, the amount of shit people don't pick up on relating to flowey/asriel sometimes actually drives me up the wall 😭him being my favorite character is low key a curse sometimes. on that note, its also so refreshing to see someone not immediately start thinking asriel is a totally different character from flowey in the pacifist ending. the consistency of "this guy" "what is this guys problem" and "little bro" in both the omega flowey and asriel fight is fantastically funny with a side of lore accuracy
I also realized this as I was playing the game since after flowey taught us how to "play" I immediately got terrified of him back then and whenever the topic is about flowers it always reminded me of him especially during the waterfall chapter I was genuinely terrified of the fact that flowey might somehow pop up from one of the echo lowers
Is it not understandable that the yellow text would be overlooked? Yellow text is used fairly regularly in the game as simply highlighting. Not like red or blue text where it almost always has the same meaning, yellow is sort of a catchall for whatever needs emphasis because the font doesn't have bold.
In my 8 years of being a huge fan of undertale, watching a ton of playthroughs from youtubers, family, and friends NOT ONCE HAVE I SEEN SOMEONE FIRST TRY FLOWEY, ACTUAL GOD GAMER Edit: To anyone who first tried it, you missed some pretty cool stuff. I recommend watching someone who does fail.
if you mean omega flowey then I'm proud to say I first tried that fight. I had in fact seen other people play Undertale but tbh I still had no idea what I was doing to dodge the attacks lol edit: i keep forgetting if its timmy or jimmy help
Everyone is so CHILL LMAO. This game Changed my life too. Congradulations. I also avoided all spoilers and Its one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life. Just hearing the music brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for letting me relive this again.
whoa-- ive NEVER seen that refrigerator bit when you first enter the underground what the hell????? it actually spooked the fuck outta me cause ive literally seen SO MANY playthroughs of this game from many many different people and basically know the game by heart, i was NOT prepared to see something i havent seen before whoa
It's one of the many random "fun value" events! You can get a wrong number call from Alphys, see several secret NPCs, find a sound test room featuring Gaster's Theme, among other things, depending on your luck.
2:36:16 yeah the ice gets off there, ice is produced in Snowdin, where it's easy to make/plentiful, flows down waterfall's currents, and gets sent to the core to cool the machine down
Holy shit, naturally generated 108 Fun value on your first playthough. The chances of that are insane! (This is what caused the refrigerator phone call at 29:20)
An absolute blessing to see a blind playthrough of Undertale after all this time. Truly a masterpiece of a game. Slightly related note, if you get the chance, you should totally check out Omori! It's an indie story-rich RPG with a slightly similar vibe, though there are some big differences (Omori is a psychological horror game, and it deals with very dark topics like depression, trauma, and suicide). It's a way longer game but it's worth it I promise :D Thanks for the content
it was a devious trick making us watch your livestream to see the true lab. thats a pretty huge chunk of plot skipped in this video anyway it was nice seeing a blind undertale playthrough again, it's kind of nostalgic for me i will do my duty as an undertale youtube commenter and say, if you wanna see what happens, it would be cool to see a no mercy playthrough. no pressure though, do what you want
This was my FIRST big hyperfixation. I loved this game for YEARS and this video brings back so many memories. The music specifically is really makings me tear up
2 thoughts: You kept flipping between "this song is awesome" and "this song is just a repeat" - no. the music is flat out awesome, but the word you are looking for is 'Motif' - same theme, different context/accompaniment/tempo/etc, often associated with a particular character. Not sure if you noticed in situ of stream, but one cool thing I didn't see you notice in the vid here - the 'helpers' in the final neutral boss correspond with the weapons you get through the game (e.g. ballet shoes, frying pan, etc..), which are also the 6 other human souls.
Wonderful video! I found myself excitedly giggling almost the whole time because I just love this game so much :') I've only recently found your videos since I got into Stardew Valley (and making gaming videos) not long ago. This one made me subscribe though; you seem like a really cool person and I also love drinking tea haha! :)) [edit to clarify: not on the channel I'm commenting this]
I love your voice, I love your logical playstyle and compassion, I love this so much I can’t express it adequately. This is perfect. Thank you so so much 🥹
let’s bring back undertale, one video, meme and piece of fan art at a time. even if it’s 8 years old, most of the fandom left for deltarune or just left, the fandoms toxicity will forever roam here and there, undertail exists, fontcest, uh.. and many more things, we can and will revive undertale and the sane, sweet side. as well as the sane but dark, malicious side. i fucking love undertale and nothing can change that. im STILL in my undertale phase
As someone who does prefer the Deltarune community just due to like better theory and analysis content, Undertale is very relevant to us still because it informs so much of the worldbuilding in that game. But yeah, Undertale is a game that will always deserve appreciation even when it gets old. It's a very timeless game in a lot of ways, I have similar feelings about a bunch of my other favorite games narratively too. Hopefully Deltarune can do it justice as a sequel (personally I think it's already doing so, hopefully it'll try something new and different from the moral Undertale has presented us with).
I also played Undertale for the first time about a month ago and had avoided all spoilers as well! It really was lifechanging! (Or at least very, very good.) In 2016 I had played through The Ruins but that was it and never touched it again. I also played what's available of Deltarune so far right afterward and loved that, too.
all fandoms are like that, they're really toxic for a few years then they chill out. Its because of a small group of trolls that enter into a fandom to stir up trouble then dip once no one is interested in the thing that created the fandom@@penntopaper9305
@@penntopaper9305 you skipped 2 years, I would say it was very toxic in 2015-2018 (saying this as a fan from early 2016), by the time Deltarune came out the fandom was calmed down
@@mariotheundying man i was an undertale fan from 2015. maybe its just cause i wasnt on the wider internet as much?? i remember choosing to leave the fandom in 2017 specifically because of how toxic it got
Just started the video, but it’s nice watching someone react to Undertale for the first time I’ve played it several times and watched a lot of videos on the lore, so it’s cool watching the game through fresh eyes in a way if that makes sense
One of my favorite details is that if you wait for thirty minutes, Toriel will return and pick you up. Undertale even subverts the game tradition of having to break the rules to proceed.
i don't think this is true, you do need to actually leave the room yourself to progress the game. but if you wait you do get a series of phone calls from her at various intervals.
God I love several hour long videos like this, easy my favorite type of video since I primarily watch youtube in the background while doing other things
Great let’s play. If you play the game killing everything, the story/ending completely changes it’s like a whole different game. Would love to see you play it that way aswell!
Seeing new people's playing Undertale for the first time are Just something. I still remember being so freaking hyped hearing Megalovania. Now wait until he is into the fandom and familiarized himself with the AUS.
Thank you so much for the video, for bringing back those memories, I cried so much in the end, again 😭 Plus, you have a beautiful voice, and the way you cared about everyone warmed my soul❤ Later I'll watch your full playthrough)
This is the first time I'm seeing this ending. Because in my playthrough I had to fight Asgore and I literally COULD NOT WIN it was so incredibly hard. I literally quit the game and never finished it lol. I know to get to this part, I needed to do a pacifist run. But it was my first time playing and I didn't get the hints to be nice so easily lol. So I suffered and didn't play again lol.
55:17 i have literally never seen anyone start holding jump, see that they just keep going up even though they're blue, and then let go of jump in the middle of the bones. like i get this is your first time but what the hell.
its just muscle memory, honestly very understandable to not realize it at first ive seen it happen before but i watched a LOT of undertale playthroughs when i was younger
accidentally watched the whole video instead of sleeping and was really worried about work but I got lucky and have it off today so good for me I guess undertale is cool
Honestly most of Undertale's early fame came from the Homestucks. Yet, I saw all of Undertale at release before ever getting past the first 5 pages of Homestuck, until 3 years ago. Anybody who discovers and plays Undertale now has so much in-the-moment zeitgeist removed. It is sterile of the culture that came before it. Just found this thought interesting to share.
I will never fucking escape homestuck While I highly agree, that it did start out that way, the fact that it stood on it's own merits is more important imo. It's even surpassed homestuck, and honestly, dispite loving the world building, I think undertale is much better, toby fox, at least, handles his success with grace
since this video came out, i would turn on this video and fall asleep. tonight, im watching the last of it. thank you gug for providing good, chill entertainment and being a good commentator. just enough humor and perfect tone of voice.
I also played for the first time in 2023 (without spoilers) Im 31 years old …but this game is life changing. Still never seen some routes, stay determined :)
Okay man, you are good at stardew valley, you are good at undertale. Man you are a jack of all trades! And also, really long videos! Subscribed, also this is this night's video ig
I enjoyed the whole mouse on the screen for three hours thing but the undertale footage in the background distracted me from it here and there unfortunately
29:15 FUN VALUE MOMENT! This is a random event based on a value determined with each save file. This one has like a 1 in 9 chance of occurring, and prevents all other FUN secrets from happening :)
a 'blind' playthrough but you still know to do a pacifist run bc the Internet has convinced streamers that a neutral ending on your first playthrough is bad and wrong
@@Waligug Tough to answer without giving it away, but what they meant is that you had all the requirements to reach the true ending, subconsciously or not, and that's not a given. And the internet is EXTREMELY pushy on forcing decisions on people playing UNDERTALE. Considering the game's whole point, I found it rather problematic and ironic. Didn't watch the whole 10 hours, but there might have been instances where the chat influenced your decisions, or not. If it rings a bell, then It's really likely they wanted you to avoid "unoptimized" decisions, which for many viewers (me included) ruins and fakes the experience, especially on UNDERTALE.
@@WaligugYou did good man, I've been enjoying things alot, and there's nothing wrong with how you played. Some people are very, VERY uptight about this game, it's silly.
@@Waligug Not really. The game kinda forces you into a pseudo neutral your first playthrough, but there are a lot of things that happened in the end of your playthrough that you won't get w a neutral run. I'm not saying it's entirely impossible for you to come up with the idea of sparing/fleeing every single enemy with no knowledge whatsoever of this game's different endings and how fighting affects them, but it is pretty insane. I see a lot of streamers get pushed to play like that on their first run because chat will rip them a new one if they play the game "wrong" by playing how most people do on a first run.
It’s a shame that the Undertale community was absolutely horrible Like, for a game based around being given the option to choose peace and befriend your supposed “enemies” the community was shockingly toxic Fortunately since it died off, the community has mostly followed, so those that remain seem pretty good
I never expected a blind playthrough of this game in 2023, this is a special kind of treat, honestly this game is such a good experience playing it for the first time what I would give to experience that again
-Flowey’s DEFENSE dropped to 0! Paired with the music finale has to be the most hype moment in video game history. Undertale truly is the best game ever (in my opinion although it’s kinda objective)

Only difference is that the community will not act on their threats.

Seeing the epilepsy warning at 39:53 say "Skip to 55:05," but then it's the "cool dude" special attack made me laugh. XD
Epilepsy warning actually ends at 40:06
same with the around 1:58 hours ish
this game was definitional for me in middle school it’s so great to see people still being moved by it
i find it crazy that people have managed to avoid the "flowey was asriel the whole time" spoiler for this long. trying to dodge that back when the fandom was in its first huge wave was like trying to hide from machine gun fire 😭
I also somehow avoided it.
I beat undertale for the first time a few months ago and to give you some insight, I was so distant from the undertale fandom at its peak that I was never really spoiled. The biggest things that were spoiled for me were maybe popular osts and the memes that became crazy big like “you’re gonna have a bad time”. Even then, I never had the context for those things, so I never cared that much, hell I never planned to play undertale so I just didn’t care that much.
You just don’t pay attention to this stuff or retain it when you have no interest.
I remember being in middle school and someone spoiling it for me at P.E. when I specifically asked for no spoilers
...still mad about that
@@ikeshrafter I just opened this video having almost no clue what this game is about, well now I know that at least 💀
As someone who has only finished Neutral so far
who tf is Asriel
i find it interesting that undertale basically telegraphs most (if not all) of its punches, if the player pays enough attention. literally just reading and acting as the game tells you leads you down the true pacifist path. but iirc when it came out, so many people were used to classic grindy rpgs, the effect it had was huge. hell, this can be seen in some other youtube playthroughs as well, like in pointcrow's. he got to like lv10 or 14, and the regret in his eyes when the game basically slapped him across the face with consequence after consequence for his actions was palpable lmao
and the best part is, even if you go straight for the true pacifist ending, you get an amazing experience. no matter how you play, the great writing, amazing music, fun gameplay just keeps you engaged (unless you go on that one route, in which case all warranty is void lmfao). but everyone gets their own personalized experience, depending on the context they start the game with.
truly a wonderful game, and i'm happy to see people find out about it, even after its heyday :) the fanbase has thankfully somewhat mellowed out, although if you dig deep enough into any huge fanbase you'll always find some rot. that's just the sad truth.
excited to watch the rest of this playthrough :) you're very perceptive and funny as well. perfect wombo combo
WRONG YOU DO NOT GET AS GOOD OF AN EXPERIENCE IF YOU GO PACIFIST FIRST
I understand the whole quality of an experience is subjective but even as someone who played true pacifist first, I can not recommend it. Well if I had to recommend anything it'd be to go into the game spoiler free, but even if you know the whole story it still is important to do a neutral run first simply for the experience. The neutral ending calls are not only some of the most interesting dialogue in the game, but they serve the important narrative purpose of reminding you that your actions have consequences. The reason that every neutral ending is a little different is because your choices do matter, and getting at least one of those endings is important for cementing yourself in the story as an actual actor within the story. Yes I understand that neutral pacifist also gives you a call but it's not the same, all the events after are the results of Flowey's choice to kill the king, not any of your choices. So by skipping a neutral run, you've sidestepped such a major part of the game that it's like you've skipped straight to the ending. There's a reason that one of the common critiques of Undertale back in the day was that it is too preachy and on a moral high horse, it's because most people played neutral first. But what those people didn't understand was that that's the point. Undertale is not supposed to be a punishment for being a gamer, it's designed to be a twisted reflection of RPGs but it's also a love letter to the genre.
TL;DR: Neutral is absolutely necessary because it sets the stage for pacifist emotionally.
@@theflyingspaget i understand; that was part of my point. you can ruin the experience yourself by gunning to the best ending first, but even in this ruined state you'll have a great time.
@@RatcheT2497understandable this was less directed at you and more at the old fandom trend of harassing streamers who didn't immediately play true pacifist
@@theflyingspaget that's fair :) yeah that is a pretty annoying trend that still persists to this day. it's understandable why people do it, but does suck out a fair amount of the joy of discovery.
pointcrow's playthrough is really interesting for that reason - he basically only listened to chat once it was far too late and the emotional toll of his actions crashed down on him all at once :D not to mention the punches that kept coming later down the line.
1:08:13
holy fucking shit, i have NEVER seen someone actually understand the "talking flower" conversation before literally ever. every other blind let's player i've ever seen just assumes they thought wrong immediately and completely dismisses the rest of the conversation the moment the echo flower is brought up. i haven't finished the video yet, but even if this guy forgets the whole conversation within five minutes like every other let's player, he's still surpassed my expectations by simply realizing that sans IS talking about flowey, and was making an incorrect assumption in thinking it must be an echo flower.
LITERALLY THIS!!! its in yellow text and everything! honestly, the amount of shit people don't pick up on relating to flowey/asriel sometimes actually drives me up the wall 😭him being my favorite character is low key a curse sometimes. on that note, its also so refreshing to see someone not immediately start thinking asriel is a totally different character from flowey in the pacifist ending. the consistency of "this guy" "what is this guys problem" and "little bro" in both the omega flowey and asriel fight is fantastically funny with a side of lore accuracy
I also realized this as I was playing the game since after flowey taught us how to "play" I immediately got terrified of him back then and whenever the topic is about flowers it always reminded me of him especially during the waterfall chapter I was genuinely terrified of the fact that flowey might somehow pop up from one of the echo lowers
I thought I got it wrong until I took note of the difference in the colors used in the text. Forever in awe at how many details are in this game!
didnt jacksepticeye do it too
Is it not understandable that the yellow text would be overlooked? Yellow text is used fairly regularly in the game as simply highlighting. Not like red or blue text where it almost always has the same meaning, yellow is sort of a catchall for whatever needs emphasis because the font doesn't have bold.
In my 8 years of being a huge fan of undertale, watching a ton of playthroughs from youtubers, family, and friends
NOT ONCE HAVE I SEEN SOMEONE FIRST TRY FLOWEY, ACTUAL GOD GAMER
Edit: To anyone who first tried it, you missed some pretty cool stuff. I recommend watching someone who does fail.
I saw like 5 lines of dialogue I'd never seen before in this playthrough, wild how this game can still surprise us after so long
I got so lucky on my first run and beat it first try, on my pacifist run I died 3 times in a row before beating it
touhou player here to say otherwise to that statement
I technically beat it first try but I had seen gameplay from an experienced speedrunner lol
if you mean omega flowey then I'm proud to say I first tried that fight. I had in fact seen other people play Undertale but tbh I still had no idea what I was doing to dodge the attacks lol
edit: i keep forgetting if its timmy or jimmy help
i'm really enjoying all the super long videos lately. your content is always good, so more of the good is just great
When bro said "NO" to Napstablook i cried😭😭
If waligug plays it, I’ll most likely watch it. Even if it’s just rewatching to fall asleep to. Keep the game play throughs coming!
seeing blind playthroughs even 8 years later is always amazing
I appreciate how you uploaded the full video on the anniversary. Amazing planning work.
Avoiding spoilers for 8 years is actually impressive.
😂
The only thing I know about Undertale is Sans and Papyrus until I actually played it 😭
he recognized sans and toriel, game ruined
I haven’t revisited this game in SO long. Makes me want to do another play through!
The most impressive is that you managed to evoid all spoilers since 2015
The dog that keeps appearing is Toby Fox’s avatar, so he himself keeps messing things up in the game.
Everyone is so CHILL LMAO. This game Changed my life too. Congradulations. I also avoided all spoilers and Its one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life. Just hearing the music brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for letting me relive this again.
whoa-- ive NEVER seen that refrigerator bit when you first enter the underground what the hell????? it actually spooked the fuck outta me cause ive literally seen SO MANY playthroughs of this game from many many different people and basically know the game by heart, i was NOT prepared to see something i havent seen before whoa
It's one of the many random "fun value" events! You can get a wrong number call from Alphys, see several secret NPCs, find a sound test room featuring Gaster's Theme, among other things, depending on your luck.
2:36:16 yeah the ice gets off there, ice is produced in Snowdin, where it's easy to make/plentiful, flows down waterfall's currents, and gets sent to the core to cool the machine down
Holy shit, naturally generated 108 Fun value on your first playthough. The chances of that are insane! (This is what caused the refrigerator phone call at 29:20)
108???????????
Finding out Gug is Canadian changed my life, everything makes sense now.
what does this mean
I've been in this fandom for 8 years now, and seen my fair share of blind playthroughs. But to find some from 2023 is astounding
i definitely recommend playing the deltarune series after this!! it’s an entirely separate story but i think you’d enjoy it
3:05:43 bro that noise literally sounds EXACTLY like floweys pain noise
* Slightly scared at how Gug predicted literally every plot point in Hotland
Him: should I fucking bully the shit out of Alphys?
Alphys: I used to hate myself and I’m glad we’re friends now
RAHHH HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNDERTALE I watched most of this live and I’m so glad to have got to experience it
Never noticed alphys signs the answers to the quiz show with her hands.
Dude this guy is literally me. I bought undertale about a week ago along with deltarune. Still my best decisions yet
An absolute blessing to see a blind playthrough of Undertale after all this time. Truly a masterpiece of a game.
Slightly related note, if you get the chance, you should totally check out Omori! It's an indie story-rich RPG with a slightly similar vibe, though there are some big differences (Omori is a psychological horror game, and it deals with very dark topics like depression, trauma, and suicide). It's a way longer game but it's worth it I promise :D
Thanks for the content
1:50:06 I've loved this game for several years now (since 2018 at least), and yet somehow, I don't remember ever seeing this easter egg.
Most people just go to sit instead of interacting with absolutely everything, I do that in every rpg
@@mariotheundying Like, I've seen the interactions with everything ELSE in the room, just never the drawer.
it was a devious trick making us watch your livestream to see the true lab. thats a pretty huge chunk of plot skipped in this video
anyway it was nice seeing a blind undertale playthrough again, it's kind of nostalgic for me
i will do my duty as an undertale youtube commenter and say, if you wanna see what happens, it would be cool to see a no mercy playthrough. no pressure though, do what you want
This was my FIRST big hyperfixation. I loved this game for YEARS and this video brings back so many memories. The music specifically is really makings me tear up
2 thoughts:
You kept flipping between "this song is awesome" and "this song is just a repeat" - no. the music is flat out awesome, but the word you are looking for is 'Motif' - same theme, different context/accompaniment/tempo/etc, often associated with a particular character.
Not sure if you noticed in situ of stream, but one cool thing I didn't see you notice in the vid here - the 'helpers' in the final neutral boss correspond with the weapons you get through the game (e.g. ballet shoes, frying pan, etc..), which are also the 6 other human souls.
Wonderful video! I found myself excitedly giggling almost the whole time because I just love this game so much :')
I've only recently found your videos since I got into Stardew Valley (and making gaming videos) not long ago. This one made me subscribe though; you seem like a really cool person and I also love drinking tea haha! :))
[edit to clarify: not on the channel I'm commenting this]
I love your voice, I love your logical playstyle and compassion, I love this so much I can’t express it adequately. This is perfect. Thank you so so much 🥹
let’s bring back undertale, one video, meme and piece of fan art at a time. even if it’s 8 years old, most of the fandom left for deltarune or just left, the fandoms toxicity will forever roam here and there, undertail exists, fontcest, uh.. and many more things, we can and will revive undertale and the sane, sweet side. as well as the sane but dark, malicious side. i fucking love undertale and nothing can change that. im STILL in my undertale phase
As someone who does prefer the Deltarune community just due to like better theory and analysis content, Undertale is very relevant to us still because it informs so much of the worldbuilding in that game. But yeah, Undertale is a game that will always deserve appreciation even when it gets old. It's a very timeless game in a lot of ways, I have similar feelings about a bunch of my other favorite games narratively too. Hopefully Deltarune can do it justice as a sequel (personally I think it's already doing so, hopefully it'll try something new and different from the moral Undertale has presented us with).
I also played Undertale for the first time about a month ago and had avoided all spoilers as well! It really was lifechanging! (Or at least very, very good.) In 2016 I had played through The Ruins but that was it and never touched it again. I also played what's available of Deltarune so far right afterward and loved that, too.
Please don't let this masterpiece be ruined for you by the memes and the fandom as it was for me 🙏
man the undertale fandom's actually not so bad anymore. it was bad in like 2017-2018 ish. everyone's mellowed out nowadays
all fandoms are like that, they're really toxic for a few years then they chill out. Its because of a small group of trolls that enter into a fandom to stir up trouble then dip once no one is interested in the thing that created the fandom@@penntopaper9305
@@penntopaper9305 you skipped 2 years, I would say it was very toxic in 2015-2018 (saying this as a fan from early 2016), by the time Deltarune came out the fandom was calmed down
@@mariotheundying man i was an undertale fan from 2015. maybe its just cause i wasnt on the wider internet as much?? i remember choosing to leave the fandom in 2017 specifically because of how toxic it got
@@penntopaper9305 people were complaining about the fandom before 2017 so I think yeah you missed some stuff
Yess, can't wait!! I've loved Undertale ever since it came out!
I only just played it recently and it was the best thing I’ve done in my whole life.
"He's the type of guy to go like, I'm in a game, lalalala" major foreshadowing
Just started the video, but it’s nice watching someone react to Undertale for the first time
I’ve played it several times and watched a lot of videos on the lore, so it’s cool watching the game through fresh eyes in a way if that makes sense
IM SO HAPPY THIS FANDOM IS STILL ALIVE IM GONNA CRY
One of my favorite details is that if you wait for thirty minutes, Toriel will return and pick you up. Undertale even subverts the game tradition of having to break the rules to proceed.
i don't think this is true, you do need to actually leave the room yourself to progress the game. but if you wait you do get a series of phone calls from her at various intervals.
That's not true. She gets held up by a little white dog. Where are you getting your info..?
this does not happen
Too bad she doesn't go back to pick you up.
As someone who was 5 years late, I can relate
Just watched the entire thing in one sitting, gonna go watch some of the vods now though so I can see the true pacifist stuff
God I love several hour long videos like this, easy my favorite type of video since I primarily watch youtube in the background while doing other things
Great let’s play. If you play the game killing everything, the story/ending completely changes it’s like a whole different game. Would love to see you play it that way aswell!
Seeing new people's playing Undertale for the first time are Just something. I still remember being so freaking hyped hearing Megalovania. Now wait until he is into the fandom and familiarized himself with the AUS.
I love the long videos sm !! your voice actually helps calm me so much 😭
Thank you so much for the video, for bringing back those memories, I cried so much in the end, again 😭
Plus, you have a beautiful voice, and the way you cared about everyone warmed my soul❤
Later I'll watch your full playthrough)
This is the first time I'm seeing this ending. Because in my playthrough I had to fight Asgore and I literally COULD NOT WIN it was so incredibly hard. I literally quit the game and never finished it lol.
I know to get to this part, I needed to do a pacifist run. But it was my first time playing and I didn't get the hints to be nice so easily lol. So I suffered and didn't play again lol.
asgore was easier then mettaton and muffet??
same ending the other human kids who fell down got lol
Oh god the ending to this game always makes me shed a tear or two, I love this game and it's writing.
55:17 i have literally never seen anyone start holding jump, see that they just keep going up even though they're blue, and then let go of jump in the middle of the bones. like i get this is your first time but what the hell.
its just muscle memory, honestly very understandable to not realize it at first
ive seen it happen before but i watched a LOT of undertale playthroughs when i was younger
accidentally watched the whole video instead of sleeping and was really worried about work but I got lucky and have it off today so good for me I guess
undertale is cool
I haven’t been able to enjoy CZcams much lately but I’m super glad to see you’ve hit 200K subs! Congratulations, you truely deserve it! ❤
Uuuuuuuugh seeing him eat the pie so early is killing me lol
Honestly most of Undertale's early fame came from the Homestucks. Yet, I saw all of Undertale at release before ever getting past the first 5 pages of Homestuck, until 3 years ago.
Anybody who discovers and plays Undertale now has so much in-the-moment zeitgeist removed. It is sterile of the culture that came before it.
Just found this thought interesting to share.
I will never fucking escape homestuck
While I highly agree, that it did start out that way, the fact that it stood on it's own merits is more important imo. It's even surpassed homestuck, and honestly, dispite loving the world building, I think undertale is much better, toby fox, at least, handles his success with grace
probably for the best
@@android19willpwn indeed. I heard the Homestuck hype culture was bad..
I'm a huge Undertale fan and not once in my life did I even know the refrigerator event was a thing, that's insane.
since this video came out, i would turn on this video and fall asleep. tonight, im watching the last of it. thank you gug for providing good, chill entertainment and being a good commentator. just enough humor and perfect tone of voice.
I just played the game for the first time myself a couple of days ago! It was a lot of fun and so was watching your playthrough
Duke Nukum: "If you like Undertale, play Deltarune"
I also played for the first time in 2023 (without spoilers) Im 31 years old …but this game is life changing. Still never seen some routes, stay determined :)
Okay man, you are good at stardew valley, you are good at undertale. Man you are a jack of all trades! And also, really long videos! Subscribed, also this is this night's video ig
your so chill i could watch your vids for hours and say entertained and i also could fall asleep to them
Seeing someone enjoy Undertale for the first time fills me with joy
And determination ❤
I enjoyed the whole mouse on the screen for three hours thing but the undertale footage in the background distracted me from it here and there unfortunately
49:26 you could just say he has a bone-er
29:15 FUN VALUE MOMENT! This is a random event based on a value determined with each save file. This one has like a 1 in 9 chance of occurring, and prevents all other FUN secrets from happening :)
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, it was very enjoyable.
15:06 I just noticed those dolls. Maybe Everyman Theory is on to something.
how on earth you dodged every undertale spoiler for 8 years without being completely off the grid i will never know
a 'blind' playthrough but you still know to do a pacifist run bc the Internet has convinced streamers that a neutral ending on your first playthrough is bad and wrong
I did get the neutral ending though
@@Waligug Tough to answer without giving it away, but what they meant is that you had all the requirements to reach the true ending, subconsciously or not, and that's not a given.
And the internet is EXTREMELY pushy on forcing decisions on people playing UNDERTALE. Considering the game's whole point, I found it rather problematic and ironic.
Didn't watch the whole 10 hours, but there might have been instances where the chat influenced your decisions, or not.
If it rings a bell, then It's really likely they wanted you to avoid "unoptimized" decisions, which for many viewers (me included) ruins and fakes the experience, especially on UNDERTALE.
@@nazberry6281Man. Y'all are why people don't like undertale fans. 😅
@@WaligugYou did good man, I've been enjoying things alot, and there's nothing wrong with how you played. Some people are very, VERY uptight about this game, it's silly.
@@Waligug Not really. The game kinda forces you into a pseudo neutral your first playthrough, but there are a lot of things that happened in the end of your playthrough that you won't get w a neutral run.
I'm not saying it's entirely impossible for you to come up with the idea of sparing/fleeing every single enemy with no knowledge whatsoever of this game's different endings and how fighting affects them, but it is pretty insane.
I see a lot of streamers get pushed to play like that on their first run because chat will rip them a new one if they play the game "wrong" by playing how most people do on a first run.
It’s a shame that the Undertale community was absolutely horrible
Like, for a game based around being given the option to choose peace and befriend your supposed “enemies” the community was shockingly toxic
Fortunately since it died off, the community has mostly followed, so those that remain seem pretty good
This is peak content.
-No overly exciting editing, just pure gameplay
-Blind walkthrough after 8 WHOLE YEARS
-Good humor
-W game
Woah, I could have never avoided Undertale spoilers for 8 years. Like, this game is everywhere
Blud really ate the pie in Toriel Fight.
Well the pie has infinite heal and Toriel fight is the only fight you can't die in.
you can die in the toriel fight and also it isn’t that deep, allow a man to enjoy his first playthrough in peace, it’s not like he’d know
I finally watched this video after 8 days
As someone that has NEVER played this game…I still could not skip the spoilers, so props to you!
How did you know I was going to sleep, I was specifically looking for an Undertale playthrough to fall asleep to, how did you guess 💀
