Here is the single most important question:
Does one of the classes get the Ro Sham Bo ability and, if so, which one.
Because that is the class that must be played. By everyone. To win life.
warrior does if my memory serves me right. You do the three pounds with yuor fist like a game and then, BAM kick to the nuts.
Have you simply never played Chrono Trigger?

Anyone else looking to brush up on South Park lore, here's another list of suggested episodes to watch before playing.

You have to subscribe to their newsletter and they send you a code, though idk if it maybe too late by now. Its still worth a try, the majority of GMG 25% codes are now getting tied to specific email accounts anyway
It worked for me! Glad I checked my email before buying it on gamefly. $45.00!
Glad it worked for ya - I was wrong about it being locked to the account, BTW. It seems to be the same for everybody. My buddy got it to work, but it's still not working for me. IDK.

My code was different. (VRW14X-M2YVEU-B0C9OT) So IDK. They might not be tied to account but could be simply one-time use.
Hah. I actually just heard back from GMG.
That code I posted works everywhere EXCEPT North America. Shitheads.
Kinda hoping for adult swim shows to get their own games as well
A Venture Brothers or Boondocks game of this quality would be glorious.

Do you think this game will be as good as Chrono Trigger? Short games can be just as flawed as long ones. This game very much runs the risk of ending too early.

Don't think of it as an RPG. Think of it as a 15 hour game written and fully voice acted by two guys that have been nominated for an Oscar, won an Emmy, and won a Tony.
I think from a standpoint of the game removing and story being solid throughout, absolutely.
I'm 12 hours in. I don't have to hypothesize. The game is great and made better by having the type of quality given to side quests and such that a game like Chrono had.
It's tough to compare given the tone and goals of each though.
You guys can keep hammering on this, but as it goes: always leave them wanting more.

Or maybe a 15 hour interactive episode of South Park is a better way to look at it.
People are way too attached to this $$$/Time equation with RPGs. It's maddening.
With this one in particular. They don't have to establish any characters or anything. It's a franchise where they can just start balls to the walls and go from there.

Am I the only one who doesn't want an 80 hour JRPG from this game? Just play the first thirty hours and then it gets good... who the hell has time for that?
The die-hards seem to have a hard-on for that sort of thing. The rest of us seem to know that Matt and Trey aren't going to pull that nonsense.

Exactly! I have school/work/girlfriend/gym shit all going on, I don't have time to sink 80 hours into a game when only half is worth playing. At 15 hours I know i'll finish this game and that makes me happy.

Huh, I guess you're right. I just don't buy them that often I guess. Last one I got was Far Cry 3 a year ago but before that Assassin's Creed 2 in like 2009.

Going to hold off until they release a version for next gen consoles. Something tells me they'll do this.

I've been marathonning South Park all weekend, man there are some seriously amazing episodes in there. I'm still partial to Fishsticks, and the last episode of the season with Kayne was great too
When Kanye tells the story about The Little Hobbit was the best part.
"Hold up, (sniffle) h-hold up, I'm sorry."
That's a really good point. I didn't think about that. Most RPGs spend a significant time at the start introducing and then building on characters. It's not needed here, they can pretty much jump right in.
10am PT.
That's the part that has me so confused. Like did people want them to spend 10 hours getting us into the setting and establishing who Cartman is? I sure as hell don't. If you don't already know these characters, what the hell are you doing playing this?
In fact doing so would likely kill a lot of jokes.

I want Towlie, ManBearPic and the alien taco that shits ice cream in the game
I love Final Fantasy games, but if I really think about it, they probably only have 15 hours of content themselves. How much of the game is long dungeons, and leveling up? The main diff between FFVI and CT was that CT didn't have overworld encounters, and that probably removes several hours in itself.
If SP is tight with not a lot of filler, then the playtime is fine.

You'll get at least 2 out of 3. I've seen Towlie in the game and there's an Al Gore sidequest involving ManBearPig.

You sucked my jagon.
I'm not entirely sure what benefits - other than 60FPS - you could get. The game looks amazing on PS3. Other than increased resolution, not really getting what they could have squeezed out of this game.
I am willing to bet - in terms of size - this is one of the smaller last-gen games out there.

Local game store had 360 and PS3 versions on display but no PC version in sight. Plenty of other recent PC games were available, Lords of Shadow 2 for instance. Disappointing.
I'm one of those people who just walks out if I can't find what I'm looking for generally. Will get it online instead.
