Was pretty easy for me playing on hardcore, I'd like to see a higher difficulty but I doubt that'll happen.



How so? They're flawless on my end. PC version.

They seem completely off, and I'm playing it on PC as well. They tell you to hit the button to block as the block oval appears, but you have to actually hit it on most attacks a split second during their attack animation, before the oval appears or it won't block. if you wait to block when the oval appears, it seems like you have less than a third a second to hit the button, and usually that's still too short. Honestly, there's a delay. Because I can hold down the button as they are attacking, right before you're actually supposed to block and it will block.

Finished it. I wouldn't call it a great RPG but its def one of the most refreshing and just plain fun games I've played in years. The writing and scenario design are particularly amazing. Not once in the 16hrs I played did I feel any tedium, which is a rare quality in modern games.

My two major gripes:

1. Combat was fun but I thought the PC became too powerful way too fast. Maybe its just the Mage but even on hardcore my spells would devastate everything. I actually "nerfed" him a bit by removing mods.

2. A lack of

Mr. Garrison!

Its criminal how little screen time he got.

Absolutely worth $60 and I'm crossing my fingers for some story DLC. I'd also love to see PC modders dig in and see if any of the cut content is hiding in the game files.

I really wish we would have seen

Towlie, Satan and more T&P. Also I thought for sure we were gonna see the woodland critters during Mr Slaves ass sequence but no =(

You do only get like 0.4 sec to react on some, it's really fast. It's definitely not off though because I had no trouble with it. Eventually you'll have to block attacks that don't even give you warning and are extremely rapid, those are insane but I pulled off a few perfects.

Just takes practice.

Sorry, when you can preemptively hold the button down and block with a 100% success rate, it's off. Just like every single fart is used differently outside of battle from the way they explain it.

Oh? I just finished and I did all the quests, which one is it?

I'm not understanding the block complaints, if I can pull them off 100% of the time then they're working as intended imo.

Also the farting training technique does get used in combat.

How to get the Hoff?

Is there any way to change subtitles language on PC? My gf wants to "watch" the game but is pretty bad at english

 

[Eusis]

Absolutely worth $60 and I'm crossing my fingers for some story DLC. I'd also love to see PC modders dig in and see if any of the cut content is hiding in the game files.

I'm actually kind of hoping (if it's even possible) for someone to unfilter Kenny's voice. Failing that, at least mod the subtitles to show what he's actually saying (though given its nature as a game this should've been an unlockable anyway.)

Yeah. Kenny was my least used just because his speech is so hard to understand.

I never used Kenny because after enemies start getting armor his shots can't penetrate and he does no damage.

Was there a way to buff his bow?

Playing on PC, just got Jimmy into my party. Head over to get him his flute and it does one of them things where game makes you skip the scene but doesn't give me the prompt so it's stuck in an endless loop. Tried loading save still doing it.

It's part of the game. Let him do it for a minute.

That's intentional, just wait it out.

I got that too. I think it might be part of the game? He eventually stops.

Lol thanks all just let it go and it ended

 

[Diprosalic]

my mana is blinking and it has yellow black stripes? what's up?

 

[-MD-]

I believe that means it's full.

 

[Saintguine]

Just finished it, I have to echo sentiments that it's too damn short because damnit I really wanted more of it. Can't remember the last time I laughed at a game so many times.

I wish there was more City Wok Guy though, I love how overly stereotypical that guy is.

 

[Jackpot]

I'm playing the PC version too. I can not get blocking right. It took me forever to get past the tutorial because of it. The indicator doesn't really seem to help me at all.

You can hold down Block the entire time but it will net you barely any bonus.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Keep it full at all times. Just before a fight top it off.


heh heh

 

[Taco_Human]

Hmm I just realized I used both the Mr Slave and Mr Wok summons and they never reappeared even if they said just once a day... Weird.

 

[Diprosalic]

last question:

i don't understand how you beat the elven anti-magician. he destroys butters in one attack even when i block it all perfectly and i barely do any damage to him.

 

[ScOULaris]

Playing the digital PSN version and every time I leave a building either the framerate drops tremendously or its stuttering as its loading but god damn it is doing it so frequently.

I've noticed this as well on my disc version (PS3). It seems to be caused by the aggressive auto-saving that occurs every time you enter a new area or building. I haven't tested it yet, but I'd bet that turning off autosaves (if you can) would alleviate the stuttering. I agree that it's pretty annoying.

In general the game just doesn't run as well as I'd hoped.

 

[Sikamikanico]

Quick question - I'm playing this on PC - is there any support for a 360 controller. I can't see anything in the options, so I presume no?

You have to visit them and talk to get their summon again.

There is.

 

[Sikamikanico]

There is.

Hmm. I'm playing on a Surface Pro 2, and the controller is all plugged in with the relevant dongle etc...

No option for controller in the settings...where am I going wrong?

[Hypnopompy]

The friends list status while playing this is amazing. I don't even have the game (yet) and it's already made me laugh. "Farting around in South Park", lol.

Yesterday I saw "farting around in an abortion clinic". Probably made me laugh more than it should've.

 

[MrCookiepants]

I'm glad this game isn't long. I'm starting to get a little burnt out.

Just found Mr Hankey. Great game.

is the controller turned on before you start the game? btw i don't think there is any "setting" for the controller..

Thats probably why they only ever showed the PC version pre-release.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question. The 360 controller is supported by the game and is functional but I don't believe there are any controller options (that I can see).

I just plugged my 360 pad in for the first time and started the game and it works.

Thats probably why they only ever showed the PC version pre-release.

Up until now I'd never played an Obsidian game but they've always had this reputation for having loads of bugs and other technical issues. I'm sure the console ports are a bummer going by what most people are saying but the PC version of this game was pretty flawless I gotta say.

Definitely an awesome first impression for me.

Ah okay, I'll have another play around with it. Thanks for the help guys.

I think this is the first time I used a summon.

what's a summon?

So I jumped into a second game and something hit me...

There are a handful in the game, Mr Slave for example is a summon. You can use them each once per day.

Can you screenshot it?

No, I'm playing the PS3 version. It looks like you are suppose to jump over it or something. I can't find anything to shoot with my ranged weapon either.

 

[Echoplx]

You need an ability from the main quest to get past that gap, keep playing and come back later.

The gap the moment you enter the sewer? You're supposed to use an ability on it but you might not have it depending how far into the story you are.

You get an ability to cross it later.

I played on PC too and didn't come cross any glitches either. The game also ran like a dream.

In fact, because I had read about others suffering glitches I thought my game was glitched on a couple of occasions -- like I thought for sure my homeless quest was bugged since I couldnt find the last one I needed after revisiting the entire town... turns out I wasn't looking hard enough.

Also on PC and I agree. Blocking is my only real gripe with the game thus far.

 

[Andrew.]

Well I got through the first two farting tutorials without much issue. The only thing I had to grasp was holding the major frequency once I felt the rumble. I kept on letting loose too early.

Also got through the probing mini game on the first try. I cant believe that shit was censored.

So, just double checking... Can you only change your own characters gear? And is the only way to get the Hoff head from the Rhinoplasty place?

I never found a way to change my partner's gear so I'm gonna say yes.
