HELP! This game is HARD!

[100%Jim]

Hi, I tried undertale today. Is it meant to be this hard? I died on the first part what am I doing wrong? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QrcVuIq0VY I do like the game though xD

Here's a few tips that'll help your adventure, Jim!

Holding [SHIFT] will "focus" your movements. In Curtain Fires like Touhou, you can see your actual hitbox with it. Though, in Undertale, your hitbox is exactly your shape. It's not smaller than it looks, it's just about right. I don't know your knowledge of Curtain Fires, so forgive me if I've insulted your knowledge.

Memorization is your GODSEND in Curtain Fire games. And Undertale is no different. I think you'd lose a bit of face for it in a let'splay, but blindly charging in and getting a feel for how their attacks work can help you save some items. If you find a particularly hard attack, make absolutely damn sure you try to understand it. Surprisingly, I don't think there's many "Safespots (where you can stand in one place and just avoid it all)" that exist, so your dodging capability comes moreso into play than you think.

Try to play Curtain Fires while you feel alert and ready. I think you need this moreso in Curtain Fires than First Person Shooters, but that's my opinion.

Laugh in the face of death. Undertale and you understand each other on more levels than you realize, so whenever you die, you should pull yourself together,

and refuse death.

You might try adjusting your settings a little bit through the console, it helps

Why are you trying to hijack someone's "Help" thread?

Wait what, Normie's this has nothing to do with the quality of the game. It's just that this person is finding it difficult.

Anyway's, If you have a joystick I would suggest using one. I've never used one in undertale but you could try it out and see how it feel's.

The quality of a game is based on how hard or easy it is. If a game is too hard to find enjoyable it definbetly affects the quality.

DarkSoul's is quite fun to play even if it is unforgiving.

Then what about Dark Soul's?

It isn't hard.

I wouldn't say that difficulty is a large factor unless you find the combat enjoyable.

If a game is too easy it's boring, likewise if a game is too hard it is boring.

Kirby begs to differ on that front.

That's highly opinionative. Some people don't want super hard games, some people don't want super easy, but there are people who want their very honor challenged, and some who wish for breeze-easy games. You're not stating facts.
