@KILLER_OUTLET Yup. I felt this way for the battat motif thing and especially the introduction to the mew mew fight. Why is the last shadow crystal boss treated like a joke.
Like nah man wtf ralsei keep going I wanted to actually hear that, and then she’s just like “yeah flower dude told me already” I’m not saying she needs to have a mental breakdown about it but it this is such a Rick and Morty type of joke to me
Ralsei: Okay so there's this DEVICE okay?
Susie: Oh yeah of course I know about the DEVICE DEPTHS! Flowery told me about GONERMAKER DEVICE FRIEND GASTER!
Currently at the secret boss of deltarune chapter 5 and man I just am not enjoying this chapter much at all. It's got good moments but they are few and far between. We're 8 years in, can we focus on the characters we like and not introduce 7 new blorbos for me to not care about
I think one of the big reasons why I’m just not vibing with this Chapter is a large majority of the humor is just “WOAH GUYS LOOK ITS A MEME,” or something self-referential lmao. Like I don’t think I’m over exaggerating when I say this chapter just wasn’t written very well lol
@pikminfiend72 Pretty much all the flowers except Yellow are like, flanderized tropes of something, like Green being That Silly Mute Character or Seth being the nerd girl with glasses™
Yellow being just an incompetent cowboy who's constantly about to kill himself just feels fresh though
I hate that one joke where ralsei explains what the menu is to Susie and she's just says flowery already told her. The stuff the player interacts with is so important and the previous chapter had ralsei say he wants to be more honest and then its all treated like a joke? Idk man
@Caosquimera Ch5 was good, but I would argue that both Ch3 and 4 managed to be subversive in a way that enhanced the story, vs Ch5’s DW section which felt more subversive for the sake of being subversive. Felt this especially during the pink fight
@Caosquimera Not using the chapter about the guy who investigated the story's main mystery box, which takes place in the room where he investigated said mystery box, to explore the mystery at all in favor of condensing all lore drops to the game's final 12 hours is a baffling decision
Is it an ultra hot take to say that Chapter 5's soundtrack might be the weakest of the bunch?
Like, still not bad by any means and still has some bangers, but compared to the rest, just less so?
It felt a lot less like “asgore’s arc with wacky flower hijinks sparsed throughout it” and more like “wacky flower hijinks with asgore’s arc sparsed throughout it”
@NGreentail Whenever people bring up the fact it’s supposed to be the last fun chapter, I can’t help but recall how Chapter 2 was also hella funny, but still had full substance with its spotlighted characters, Berdly, Noelle, Queen, Spamton, Susie, even Ralsei, and quality story progression.
@NGreentail It is just way too tonally off from what Chapter 4 left us. I have no issue with this being a fun chapter, but there isn’t even a vibe of uncertainty or anxiety from the group which is so weird. Especially since these were pretty much the LAST things we saw them say
