That's it, which game/product/brand/company/you name it has the worst fanbase?

In my opinion, it would be Blizzard. I know it sounds hypocritical with Tracer both as avatar and steam name, but I swear to god that my interactions with the blizzard community have been dissapointing at best and downright infuriating at worst. It's just people singing praises towards them and treating Blizzard as if it was literally the 2nd coming of Jesus.

Well, it's not a shitty sprite game. If you can't tolerate the graphical style, then it's not for you, but if you don't care about that and enjoy games that are GOOD, then maybe you should check it out. Because it's really great.

Nope, not triggered. It's totally fine if he's checked it out and doesn't like it, but he seems to be making his judgement based off of two pieces of information.

With the deluge of indie games and mobile ports, it's really difficult to figure out which ones are worth your time and which ones are trash. Two games can have very similar "shitty sprite" aesthetics, while one has the story, gameplay, tight controls, music, etc, to back it up, while the other is total garbage.

Honestly, the game becomes really good and genius only near the end of your first run. Before it, it's not really that funny nor interesting. And it just so happens that fans won't shut up about that non-interesting part of the game. LOL SEXY GOAT MOM LOL SKELETON THAT CANT COOK SPAGHETI LOLOLOL ROBOT QUIZ actually that was kind of funny

It is quite well written and if you want to experience the part where you bond with enemies, you can see a whole different side to that. It starts off weak and only as the new characters appear does it get more engaging, captivating even. I was approaching it with a lot of skepticism and even some negative expectations, but the game dispelled them well over the course of entire playthrough. Not to say it doesn't have its bad sides, over-reliance on not telling you how to progress through some of the encounters when you try to be pacifistic and such. But it is very solid.

I also found it funny that with all the anime-styled games coming from Japan and whatnot, it took this thing to actually get a game that feels anime in the best sense of the word. Especially the final stages are like the quintessence of good stuff you can find in animes, writing- and emotional-attachement-wise.

You can definitely never play Undertale if you want. I didn't really think it was so good, and there are tons of much better less memeified games out there.

Play it before judging. Don't research any more than you already have or you'll surely spoil the game for yourself.

Also, isn't it ironic that you're assuming Undertale is a shitty sprite game. And yet you have 26 hour on Enter the Dungeon and your favorite game is Stardew Valley, which looks like a shitty RPG Maker game.

Even then, I'd still want to play Stardew to see what all the fuss is about.

It's not ironic, emphasis on shitty not sprite. I don't mind bad/old/retro/whatever graphics at all, I just want my game time to be enjoyable and fun. From what I gather from the Undertale store page, it looks like neither to me. Not to mention that if I do play it I'll go with extremely high expectatives from the comments and reactions I've seen, so I'd likely be hugely disappointed.

also if you want a shitty RPG maker game, play To the Moon.

How can your exceptions be high if your opinion is negative? This is the exact mind set I've had when I was a teen who only played 8-10/10 games. As I grew and started to build my own opinions, I didn't care for hype. At most it would get me curious to play a game.
Lost Odyssey, for example, never got my interest because I didn't like turn based RPGs. I decided to play it since my friend gave me it as a gift. In a nutshell, it was one of the best games I played on the Xbox. I'm not saying you will enjoy Undertale, all I'm saying is to try it or any game you have doubt on, before you make an opinion.

Why are you calling To the Moon shitty if your playtime says 0?

Because if a game/movie/book has extemely positive reviews I will judge it with a harder criteria than if I know beforehand that it's shite or mediocre. If I'm consciosly going to play something that it's not that good I'm able to overlook many of its flaws due to the fact that I don't expect it to be great, but if it has received such a high praise as Undertale does I'm gonna be nitpicky as hell.

I play many types of games, not only 8-10/10 ones, firstly because gaming journalism is a joke and secondly because I acknowledge the fact that I can enjoy a flawed product, take the example of HotS, if you were to ask me, I'd say the game is mostly shit and I'd recommend you stayed away from it, having said that I enjoy playing the game and have nearly 1,5k matches, I do also like to form my own opinions and not blindly parrot whichever opinion is the popular one.

Playing offline and/or DRM free versions is a thing, you know? :-p, e.g I have more like 40 hours on Enter the Gungeon and like 50 on Stardew than the ones listed on my profile

I wouldn't say the game is shitty, to be honest. It's an ok game that was blown out of proportion. The lore is fun on it. I haven't even played the game, but the actual story for the first 3 games was really cool. Then it went too far into "Lost" territory.

Git gus messages are always ironicall or just meant to annoy the person when they cry that the game is too hard. It's really just silly if you ask me.

I'm an amateur streamer. The Dark Souls stream netted me 30 concurrent viewers, which is a lot, considering I stream lesser known games. But with Dark Souls they just kept backseat gaming, but at the same time a lot of them were friendly and helpful as well. I have mixed feelings for them. Also, the "Git gud" thing is a joke, so no real beef with that.

Any fandom is terrible,although i have to say DS fanboys are not the smartest.
With comments like "GIT GUD" and continuously calling it one of the hardest games, as if you need specific skills when the point of the game is tactical thinking and pattern memorization, i wonder if this people actually played the games.
i never even talked about the stories being mediocre, not just because the game doesnt force it upon the player but mostly because they might get really defensive about that

The difficulty or the franchise is highly exeggarated indeed. Especially DS3, which felt much easier than all the other 3 iterations on Steam (included SofTS as a seperate entry). I've never played BB, so I can't comment on that.
Although on the storytelling we have different opinion, while there's no straightforward narrative, there's a pretty big lore hidden in item descriptions.

This is the community, that says "please, sorry and thank you". This is the community where random person appears to you and greets you with a wave emotion. Community, that looks forward to help new players, not selfish. The community, where players asked me if they could fish next to me (sic!) and we congratulated each other about nice fishes we got!

Minecraft (Childish, Too obsessed)
Five Nights at Freddy's (Too obsessed, Rabid, Furries)
Team Fortress 2 (Too obsessed, most of them are just marketeers that play, Judgmental)
Call of Duty (Too obsessed, childish,Divided, Judgmental, practically worships the ground EA walks upon)
DOTA 2 (Too obsessed, Judgmental, Marketeers, worships the ground Valve walks upon)
WoW (Too obsessed, Socially Inept/Awkward, Hard to Satisfy)
Steam Greenlight (I'm roping games like Rock Simulator, Dad Simulator 2015, What's That Under Your Blanket? etc) (Trolls, Too Obsessed, Judgmental)
Hardcore Gamers (Very Judgmental, Hostile, Trolls, Delusional, Too Obsessed)

FNaF is obsessed, yeah.
TF2... haven't seen a fandom for it. It just seems as a random game with the obsessed fan every now and again.
CoD fanboys died out after Black Ops 2.
Dota 2 fans seem a bit friendlier than LoL fanboys, but both have died down over time and now just feel like furries. They're in their communities, holding back.
WoW obsession is a thing, but the fanboys died out a very long time ago.
Steam Greenlight... are there fans of that? :D

For Steam Greenlight - the reason it's listed because I've roped them up into a bundle so to speak. I'm speaking on the people who are upvoting a game that's questionable in quality to be put on the marketplace. That's why you practically see so many crap games sold for pennies in the hopes that you're buying their game and trying to not give you a reason to bitch about it even though it was dirt cheap.

Notable examples are the Dad Simulator 2015, What's That Under Your Blanket? etc. All of these games are just a $1 but oh my god is their quality so horrendous and the people around them literally defend them. I may be labeled to be humorless because most of the time, their arguments to defend these games are "well, they're released for a good laugh and for your friends to give you awkward looks". It's not worth real money to me for all of that.

So, that's the point I'm trying to get at.

Oh fair enough, I get ya. I mean, those games aren't really horrible, since you know what you're getting and the price is cheaper than a packet of crisps.

The constant censorship on those forums usually doesn't help and the bribes on Steam Greenlight, like "Vote yes and you'll get a free copy!"
