I wonder how much extra DLC they plan for this game

I know they said no to dlc a bunch but I hope something is planned. As long as it isn't cosmetic I'll buy it for this game.

And you, whatever the name of that one SP kart game was.

Am I the only one that enjoyed South Park Rally? Seems like it sometimes. I was young though, young enough to enjoy South Park 64. I remember Rally being a pretty solid game though.

So is the PC version still a go on Steam for the netherlands on march 6th? Because i see in steam no date anymore. I was reading that only germany/austria is delayed...i do hope to play tonight.

Just use a VPN to unlock the game.

 

[Autofokus]

Normal is supereasy. Easier than Paper Mario. Kinda regret starting on normal myself. Enemies, even bosses are complete pushovers on normal.

You can change the difficulty at any time.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

So I played a bit last night after work. I have to say this game is fun as hell and awesome. It runs smooth as hell on my PC too. As someone who's not a big fan of these types of RPGs I'm actually enjoying this one.

 

[Dario ff]

Only thing I really dislike about the combat system is how the stats grow exponentially like nothing. There is one part of the game where I hadn't entered a single new battle yet, but with two level ups and some new equipment, I went from doing 150 melee hits to doing 1k melee hits. It's very hard to tell when that happens and adjusting your strategy to it, and it feels like old gear becomes useless too quickly. Paper Mario had a far more elegant and easy to follow solution to the stats system. The stats curve here is way too exponential.

Other than that, the game's very awesome, and I'm taking my sweet time with it.

On another note, I wonder if the game's stats are in actually easily modifiable files that it'd be possible to make the entire stats curve a lot easier to understand. Seems like the game could use some rebalancing.

 

[Tirod]

Hi guys sorry if this has been covered but any word about the technical performance of the game on PS3?

Auto-Save renders the game unplayable for 5-8 seconds if going between screen transitions.

When you run (as in the actual action of running) through town quickly and go through screen transitions, you get severe stuttering for ~4 seconds.

That's what I've had frequently on my retail PS3 copy. Everything else has been fine though. No dropped audio or game crashes on my end.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Only have about an hour played but Butters is a badass lol

 

[Outtrigger888]

I played a Thief, and it was a blast. So many cool options and such to make it great. Not very much weapon diversity on the thief side though.

I think I'm gonna replay it a bit more as a mage/jew.

You can equip any weapon from any class though.

 

[-MD-]

You can equip any weapon from any class though.

Yeah but you kinda wanna stick with the weapons for your class though, no? Most of the Thief gear has extra bleed and armor piercing stuff attached.

 

[LiK]

This game is fucking great. I love just walking around the world.

Butters is my bro.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Yeah this is a bit weird, I expected class specific weapons

 

[Atsumi]

I'm glad to be reading positive comments in this thread. Definitely excited to pick the game up this week.

He also feels like the most useful of the cast.

The lightning attack and healing ability just makes the kid so versatile.

So 6.5 hours later and I still havent completed the first quest of

Spoiler

delivering letters to Token, Craig and Tweek

. Just taking my time and exploring, completing quests and looting.

Question about Jimbos hunting sidequest:

Do the other creatures appear based on story progression? Ive only been able to beat the dog in the junkyard, but every other spot has no prompts like the area around the school.

At this rate the game is going to last me 20+ hours.

 

[Sarcasm]

Is there a way to force a resolution? I want 1600 x 900 but they only have 1600x1200

 

[Interfectum]

This game is fucking awesome.

 

[lt519]

Started last night, going with the New Jersey Thief. So far hysterical, but simple gameplay. I loved the series so the "junk" you collect makes me crack up. Finding the "Sword of a Thousand Truths" in Randy's bedroom drawer was hysterical. As were all the junk in Cartman's mom's draw.

I highly suggest people read the captions for the junk, hysterical.

 

[Toma]

As a thief, it's made no real difference and hasn't been referenced. It's probably the same for the other classes, though maybe Jew gets more.

I got a single comment by Cartman, regarding

Spoiler

being also perfect to take care of the finances of Kupa Keep

.

I assume that was a jew reference, but it also could have been a standard sentence from him.

 

[gillFTR]

Anyway to make the game in windows mode and not full resolution for the PC? or resize it

 

[Darksol]

Spoiler

I hate the Sneaky Squealer at the military base. It is horrible.

Spoiler

Why? It's easy. Squeaker to first two guards, send them to the right, walk right on by. In the next area, squeaker the cop into the van and shoot down the door, trapping him inside, or, just send him far enough right that you can use the probe to transport to the top of the building.

A couple of them do require you move the story forward a bit. The school one for instance requires

Spoiler

that you get back inside the school and find a room with a bunch of beakers, during a war between the factions. At that time you can fight one of Jimbo's hunts (some sort of microbial bacteria).

But most of them I found outside without too much difficulty.

 

[WheelHoss1]

Is it possible to create more than 1 character at a time (multiple save files/character creation slots/etc)?

My gf and I both plan to play it . . .

 

[Dub117]

Has anyone about halfway through got past

Spoiler

Kim kardashians bitch ass fetus? Giving me hell. Keeps reviving the fucking cord. Any tips?

Repost, still haven't figured it out.

 

[Darksol]

Just reached the

Spoiler

Anal probing scene

. Game is hilarious so far. Favorite sidequest yet is the

Spoiler

Battle against the Mongolians.

How far am I into the game?

Not too far. Maybe a third of the way.

Hard to say though. I'm already at 15 hours, and I still haven't finished the main quest or side quests (then again, I've been looking for random battles).

 

[dem0neyes]

The game does have multiple save slots so you should be fine

 

[Sakura]

Just finished it myself. Pretty good game, but I thought the ending was kind of abrupt, and it was a bit shorter than I expected (clocked in at 9 hours). I wasn't exactly rushing through, had 76 friends (not sure what max is) and 20/30 chinpokemon without really looking much for them. I hope they make another one.

 

[JaseC]

This game is fucking great. I love just walking around the world.

Butters is my bro.

Is it possible to upgrade/replace his weapon? His power attack does almost half the damage of that of my character.

 

[DeadlyBunny]

alright, played a few hours of this last night. Playing on the ps3 version, and so far the game is great. only complaint i have is FPS drop in some areas, mainly when walking around town.
While this game does a lot of things well, I have been most impressed with the music. Of all the things I thought would be great about a south park game, the amazing music was the last thing i expected to impress me. it sets a perfect mood of an epic make believe journey that only a 10 year old can experience.

 

[Resident Evil King]

I just started the game and it's awesome, but I'm having a few weird issues with it (playing PS3 digital version).

Once it seemed to kind of get stuck (didn't freeze up completely, I could still pause the game and load the last checkpoint) during a fight. I just beat a few enemies and learned the basics of combat, but now there's one enemy left (elf sentinel or something like that) and I select my rogue's dagger (everything but that one weapon is blacked out and unable to be used) but there's a red circle with a line through it like a no smoking sign over the only weapon I can choose, and it's pointed at my own character instead of the enemy who is also blacked out.

The only thing that I seem to be able to do besides pause the game is press O to unequip the weapon but I don't appear to be able to actually use it on the enemy or select anything else. Is this a weird bug or am I actually missing something obvious?

Playing with the 14mb patch installed

 

[Kid Ska]

Can you actually sell the

[interactivemonodrama]

What do I do if I don't get the picture from Randy? I mean, I didn't get the quest item...

 

[The Lamonster]

This game is fucking great. I love just walking around the world.

Butters is my bro.

Yeah I had a great time just hanging out with him and exploring South Park. I love farting in front of him. So many good responses. It's also fun to fart in front of parents.

The ui in the characher menus is fucking horrible and unresponsive, also some slow downs in town, along with a weird movement bug that occasionally only lets me go up and down.

Other than the bugs. The game is fantastic! Its what ive always wanted out of a south park game. The amount of refrenced material all over the game world to episodes is absolutely amazing! The voice acting and script is right out of the show <3

Im only about 4 hours in and having a blast. Couldnt stop laughing at some of the weird shit that happens when you open a house door sometimes.

Also <3 Butters. I dont want to put another person on my team because he is such an awesome character. The text you get from his parents are so fucking wrong lol.

 

[kinggroin]

This game is the love child of South Park and Earthbound

I'm playing on 360 and I agree it does feel touchy at times during combat in the menus and in the character stats screen. It definitely sounds like it's better on PC but everything else is fine.

Yeah, I feel like sometimes I'm pressing the A button to counter at the right time, but the game isn't picking it up. Feel like I have to press it earlier than I should have to to actually counter correctly.

 

[misho8723]

I'm not even a fan of the show, but man, i'm so enjoying this game.. higly addictive.. good RPG mechanics, which are simple, but on Hardcore difficulty you must use everything you have in inventory, and think smart.. its funny (the alien ship sequence didn't bother me), crazy enemies, crazy attacks, the artstyle is 1:1 to the show, etc.. obviously i dont get all the references, but who cares, when the game is very good on itself... i just love games from Obsidian
P.S. the PC version is totally fine

If anything, the game is making me want to rewatch seasons I totally missed out on.

Im loving this game right now. It reminds of Beavis & Butthead on the Genesis is some ways.

That being said I now want a Beavis & Butthead game made by this exact team. Even if it was just a reskin.

 

[Mask]

I've been playing a buddy's steam copy, and I REALLY want to get this on PS3 instead.

Just one question. I'm in the UK, so retail is a no-go for me. Is the US PSN download version uncensored?

This wouldn't be the first PS3 game I've downloaded from the US PSN store, Dragon's Crown being the first.

 

[NeededSleep]

Yeah ps3 here. Gonna get it on steam eventually during winter sale.
