I'm not having a good time.
I hear only praise for this game, which is why I don't get why I hate playing it so much. I'm currently stuck in this Snowin (?) town, but that is not the reason. I hate the bullet hell parts, because I am just aweful at it, I die all the time because I'm so aweful and the game has me repeating the same fights, the same dialogues and the same puzzles over and over again. Sans "voice" is so annoying, it makes me ill. Is there some big reveal later down the line that makes the game worthwile, am I not understanding a central theme or something? I really want to "get" this game, but have no idea what other people like so much about it.

sometimes a game's just not for you. if this is your viewpoint than i respect that. you might as well finish the game though. you did buy it.

The game isn't about the gameplay tbh , I personally suck at bullet hell and I died about 5 times on Toriel but with the time I got better. I can't really say anything since it's your opinion, the game doesn't please to anyone , it's normal. But if you're willing to give the game a chance , try to continue to the end ? I think it's a nice experience but if it really doesn't please you just stop. :toriel:

Here's the problem. You suck at this game. Don't take it personally but the fact that you die and restart (due to dying in battle) kinda ruins the experience at the end. The "voices" are only a reference or rather the same thing as what some old RPGs do. Heck, even Animal Crossing had sound "voice" if we may call it that. Also kinda funny that you used the opposite of "bad time"

Assuming one does not suck too much at battles, the story is where it really shines. The fun of finding the way to give mercy to different monsters as well. Being bad at a game never makes it enjoyable. Undertale or any other games, failing just ruins the experience and it's perfectly normal.

The story is amazing but it's not really fun if you can't even experience it. There are not many solutions to this. Either you become better at the battles or you give up. Unless you cheat but I believe this gets you some cheater ending or not sure what. It's a shame you can't play this.

So, what I gather... Is that you like the story, but hate the gameplay.
Well, don't worry! You still have several other ways to continue enjoying the game! :)

1- check what kind of device you're using. Are you using a Keyboard? Or are you using a controller? Some people find that they prefer controller over keyboard. This may make things easier for you.

2- It might be aggrivating, but practice does make perfect.... maybe something will click if you keep trying. Don't force it too much though...

3- you can enjoy it by watching someone else play it! Although, that might not be your style either.

4- accept that it might not be your kind of game and decide to just drop it. You're allowed to have your own opinion :)

Keep practising, I was bad too until I just kept practising until it was pretty much beyond reason to do so.

Look for the ways that the game will try to break the fourth wall. Also, the main part of the game isn't actually the combat/battle system - it's actually the lore and story (and the characters), so try to look out for that. You will understand what the game is trying to tell you once you reach the end - but until then just keep practising, if you have enough Determination(tm) your pay-off will be observing the consequences, good or bad, of your actions.

Learn to read before you judge. I tried to explain as nicely as possible to the OP and even explicitly told him/her to not take what I said as offensive. You talk as if I was trying to defend something when I'm rather telling the OP what is wrong with the game in his/her perspective.
