Good writing and good music

Making it charming, fun, full of good characters, great music, ect.
Also, the genocide path was a great idea, since edgy pieces of shit kids all love that kind of shit, they love the idea of playing as psycho murderers. Its why garbage like Danganronpa is so popular with kids on tumblr.

It's got good and also unique story, gameplay, music, and characters.

It turns out AAA graphics aren't important or relevant to quality.

He ripped off Cave Story and Earthbound

By genuinely subverting expectations.

Kids are to young to understand mother/earthbound, so he just did a copy of it but with modern culture references

Wasn't there another game like this coming out? It was called like Omori Otori Satori

>Kids are to young to understand mother/earthbound
What? What is hard for kids to understand about earthbound? For my dad, who is not a gamer whatsoever, Earthbound was literally the only game he has ever played, enjoyed, and completed.
If even he can enjoy it, I think a child can

I had my reservations, I expected tumblr nonsense, and this is the exact moment when I knew this game was going to be good: when Sans said his brother was cool. I took a second to realize this wasn't supposed to be sarcastic. He genuinely liked his brother. The game didn't intend for us to laugh at Papyrus for being an idiot, our fun didn't depend on demeaning anyone, we just had to tag along and enjoy the ride.

furshit anthro characters

ANDREW? ANDREW HUSSIE?

soul

You do not play as a psycho murderer in Danganronpa

No idea, might aswell have been a vn with how shitty the ”gameplay” is

>the most popular vidya of all time
Do you have a single fact to back that up?

>new toby game is near to go out so now we have toby paid shills spamming and sucking his dick all over this board
why do paid shills lack soo much of intelligence?

The music made the game without it the game will be just a shitty earthbound rip off

user, you don't play as a psycho murderer in Danganronpa. Except in 2 but even the main character doesn't know.

this toby is literally a hack

>near to go out

Wait, really? I thought it was still at least a few years off.

>most popular of all time
Wouldn't that be Tetris?

Excellent music, nice characters, fun gameplay. The game didn't take itself TOO seriously

I've never played it

maybe some news about it's game so he's not forgoten, all the game companies do the same shit when they want to release something, they start spamming Zig Forums and then a month later comes a new about how the sequel of that game is gonna be released.

good music, memorable characters and good visuals here and there that's literally it.

the history is serviceable at best
the mercy system is not that innovative
the puzzles are laughable
the battles are too easy except for Sans

not trying to shit on his success but the game clearly did well in the areas that appeal to the masses/obsessive fanbases, that's why it became so popular so fast

Memorable music and relatively endearing characters.
Combined with even a poor/serviceable storyline, you've got yourself a surefire hit.
That's literally all it takes. It's just been so fucking long since a AAA developer did it in a way that feels at all genuine that people are totally unaccustomed to it.

here's a better question, why is the fanbase so fucking shitty?

Now imagine chrono trigger with undertale gameplay

The porn. That said boy howdy are those lyric vids the objective definition of cringeworthy.

Literally this. If the last few years have taught me anything, it's that Music is second only to gameplay in terms of importance. Hell you could argue it's more important. Good music turns below average games great, above average games into amazing ones, and great games into classics. Just look at Shantae, Sonic, and as much as I hate to admit it, Metal Gear Rising.
