This fucking game.

Just put the controller down after seven hours. Took a break. Going to play for another couple hours into the wee morning.

So bloody good. Ridiculous amounts of service to fans of the show. Solid adventure-RPG. I've laughed too many times to count.

The wait paid off.

Mackey gave me his in the PTA meeting after spouting about how he was no longer a hoarder.

He gives you the key to the storage locker. Inside the storage locker is the key to the PO box.

What was the name of the VPN again?

 

[flipswitch]

I used Spotflux.

From gaf user:

This is how you can get it to work using a VPN like spotflux.
1. close steam
2. use vpn
3. open steam, unlock game
4. set steam to offline mode
5. close vpn
6. only start steam in offline mode, play as much as you like

A little surprised to see people struggling with the button mashing. I only failed to poop once the very first time, and I passed the

probes

on my first try. You guys aren't trying to mash it out with your thumb are you? I set the controller down on my lap and spam it with my index finger.

 

[flipswitch]

So this button spamming is pretty hard? I hope I get through it when I start it up tonight on the 360 pad.

 

[Drake]

After playing that Anal probe scene I almost wonder if the EU and Australia are lucky they didn't have to play through that.

 

[Monado Blade]

Can anyone help me with this section at the abortion clinic?

Spoiler

I'm supposed to do an operation on Randy, and I can get past the sticking the syringe in the centre part, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do next. The game tells me to turn the left analogue stick counterclockwise but that just results in a game over.

Anyone?

 

[Log4Girlz]

Fuck, I am missing 1, 1 chinpokomon which is story related and I cannot retrieve it

was one of the ones in the school on second floor...door is locked now FUCK

Sad face. Anyway...boy I'm really tempted on another playthrough right away. One of the most entertaining games I've ever played.

It was definitely a huge problem for me, but I'm not good at button mashing stuff in general. Still there were a couple of different levels to it, and the difference in difficulty between the two cause me to think something is off.

Ha, that's exactly what I was thinking during my struggle.

I have some sort of glitch at the beginning of the game (PSN). After meeting up with Cartman you're asked to defend against some elves. You block the attacks and I cannot do anything. The game isn't frozen as I can hear music and see characters moving.

I cannot input any actions and the game kinda just sits there.

I deleted and and re-downloading to see if that helps.

Thanks, first thing I'll try after work.

In regards to button mashing, my old techniques of International Track & Field came back to help me!

Watch out for blisters.

 

[Svafnir]

Ok how do summons work? I have gotten one now and he said that I have to wait a day to get another?

Is there even a day system in this game... or do I just use it and come back for another immediatly?

Same as any other jrpg, walk through enemies until you reach the end.

I've only failed a couple due to my left hand being pretty slow on the W key, when I use my right hand it's easy for me. I don't know how someone would have trouble on a controller though.

I got that too on PC. Its supposed to trigger a counter attack. I just reloaded and it didn't happen again.

 

[Kadin]

I am having the most bizarre audio issue with this game. I have no clue how the game could do this but it's never happened before and it only happens when I'm playing. I almost feel like the game is trolling me.

Okay here's what happens. At random parts in the game, all of the sudden my audio will cut out completely. I've finally figured out that my actual sound in Windows is getting turned down to 0. I normally keep it around 22. It's happened 3 times so far and I can't figure out what's causing it.

Please tell me someone else has had this happen. Again, I don't know how a game could modify my Windows sound settings, but this is completely new and unique to just this game...

 

[Teknoman]

My character must be mad constipated, can't ever get anything out.

I really, really hope Ubi uses this tech to make a series of games, this game is spooky in how close to the show it comes. I don't know how they'd have another game in the town that doesn't feel samey but I'm sure they can figure a new setting out.

Imaginationland maybe? Unless thats already in the game.

 

[bronk]

Has anyone played multiple classes? Do you like any classes over the other? Im wondering which one I should choose. Maybe one with the funniest moveset.

 

[PedroPanache]

JRPG players: how does this game stack up?

It doesn't reinvent the genre and plays it pretty safe, but it executes well on all the familiar tropes. It's really all about the allure of poking and prodding anything and everyone in the South Park universe.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Btw if you're having trouble with a fight, DOT spells scale up really well through the game.

FUCK YOU AL GORE

 

[CrackPebbles]

My godlike mgs2 trained button mashing is working wonders.

Where else do you mash out? I have only done it on the toilet and

probes

Im on Day 2 btw, about 4 hours in.

And of course, set the controller down, tense your forearms grip till your arm is almost trembling. And mash from the side of your index finger (like how a pick is held when playing guitar) same motion and everything.

Yeah the arm spasm technique I developed when playing Asura's Wrath has been working pretty well for me so far too.

This is the gospel right here for button mashing.
Being the best button masher out of everyone I know feels damn good. haha

Question about a Quest in the beginning of the game.

Spoiler

How do I defend myself against the pepper spray?

 

[Dark Schala]

JRPG players: how does this game stack up?

Um, I actually wasn't expecting much so it's deeper than I had expected. It has some stuff like positioning, enemy stances, which enemies you should eliminate first and foremost above all else, buffs/debuffs mattering, etc. Game is easy, of course, but it's nice that there's some thought in the combat.

The game's exploration is really fun. I've been opening everyone's cupboards, destroying all of their wall pots, etc. to get stuff. The menus are neat, and the game's general look is for any South Park fan to enjoy. Customization with respect to cosmetics when you unlock more stuff is decent too.

I'm early on, though, so I guess I'll say more when I get further.

Anyone know if the digital version from the US PSN store have subtitle in other language like italian, french, spanish?

15 hours with all sidequests. If you are a fan of south park, don't let that stop you.

If you're stuck on any quest, check facebook. Someone usually has a hint post.

Love everything about the game at the moment.

Had plenty of laugh out loud moments and I adore all the fan service that has been included.

Just hit 9 hours, and on day 2.

I don't want this game to end, ever.

I could spend months exploring this game.

I believe you just hold A long enough for the waves to go crazy and then do the same with D, back and forth until it prompts you to right click.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Jimmy is so LOL! I listen to him each time for like 10 minutes. So good.

Wasn't expecting that opening cinematic.
So good.

 

[Coffee Dog]

The combat on hard is surprisingly solid and fun. I'll probably write up my impressions in detail tomorrow, but so far this game is fantastic for what it sets out to do. Only real problems I have are some minor technical niggles and the story being paced a bit too fast in some areas.

 

[UnrealEck]

I'm surprised. This game runs on my laptop which has the first generation Intel HD graphics. That's the one that doesn't even have a number after it. Just plain 'Intel HD Graphics'. It barely runs The Walking Dead on it even at 720p.

I said this earlier in the thread but... Its the perfect art style.
Not demanding in the slightest and stays true to concept the entire time.

The amount of - and attention to - detail in the overworld map, the houses, the character animations. Incredible.
