Man, game is fantastic. Pretty much exactly what I was hoping for.

Couple of questions:

- I've received the quest to find three new party members after the inititial tutorial. Is it better to still follow the questline at this point, or is it fine to start exploring everywhere.

- The treasure indicators on the map. Does that mean there's treasure you haven't found, or is it treasure you have found? Because it's still showing a treasure icon at places at the start I've searched thoroughly.

 

[Kolgar]

This game is getting nearly universal praise here. Heaping amounts of it.

Good to see. It's deserving of it. Not that I'd have expected anything less from Matt and Trey, but I am grateful to them for their effort and for setting such a great example for the rest of the industry.

Hope the game wins the success it deserves.

 

[Revolutionary]

Platinum get. Such a great game. Really hope Matt & Trey come back for another go after the apparent success of this one.

Oooooh is that it? well maybe i'll get at least an hour on it after all as long as the postie arrives

 

[Log4Girlz]

I really want DLC because honestly, this game kinda helped scratch an itch i've been having for a fun turn based RPG.

PC bug list...

Tall goth kid would randomly pop up on the right side of my screen. Only happened two or three times though.

Not a bug, it's the loading screen where he sometimes shows, it just loads super fast at that point, giving you the pop in effect of the goth kid

 

[March of the Crabs]

I disagree with people saying you need to be a South Park fan to enjoy the humour and the references in this game. My girlfriend has never seen a single episode and she's finding it as funny as I am.

 

[MrBS]

My grand wizard edition arrived from the US today. So far I'm an hour in and very happy. This game is South Park.

 

[Dead Early]

Does this game get harder? I find it's been pretty easy, except for

Spoiler

the alien pilots.

Probably the most fun fight of the game so far, save maybe for the group just before the bard.

It never gets hard. There are a couple decently challenging fights though.

Loving the game, the nostalgia is brilliant. Love exploring peoples houses just to see things and nods to things from the show.

How does the saving system work btw? I saved just after the initial scenes at Cartmans camp, and i went in to his house. When I went to load the game, it took me back to the set piece beforehand?

I've seen a couple people say they had funky save issues like that but the ~4 times I saved and quit out it always put me in the exact same spot I saved at.

This finally unlocked for me this morning, and I've been playing it for hours already. So awesome. So funny.

 

[Warnen]

Started playing yesterday at 7pm, played till 2am. Don't remember last game I played that long. Finished the main game, looks like there some post game stuff to go back for.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

I've really been looking forward to playing this game even though I haven't watched South Park for years. The gameplay mechanics of the game, as well as the developers and writers and classic look of the game have attracted me.

Tried looking up if the game is censored in the UK, and from that I can tell, the PC version isn't but consoles are? How does that even make sense?

How does console censorship even work. Is content removed from the game or is it done by XBL/PSN region or something? (Some blu-rays are censored this way so I thought it may be with games too?)

 

[Kid Ska]

Finally had my first challenging fight. The

Spoiler

Alien Pilot and Co-pilot

. It was really only an issue because

Spoiler

the Co-pilot would get an attack boost when you killed the Pilot and would attack twice, but if I killed the Co-pilot first that wasn't an issue.

 

[BlackEyes]

Can someone explain to me the whole thief thing? i'm pretty ahead of the game and i only got so far a lvl 4 dagger, i mean i'm already lvl 10 and i know i can wear other weapons but i thought if u wear ur job priority weapon u will be stronger? i can't find a god damn dagger in any shop that is above lvl 3, so to wear other weapons?

yeah you can but you really dont need to i didnt use anything other then the shove dagger till i got the manbearpig weapon just put gross damage on your dagger and your bleeds mixed with gross damage will easily kill things by itself

So, if a young supple PC gamer wanted to get a hold of this, where would he go for the cheapest deal?

Just beat the game. Took me a bit under 11 hours, even though I completed all but two side quests, which I almost completed anyway

Spoiler

couldn't find the last hiding kid and missing a Hobo

but I felt the game was well worth the money spent.
Had a good laugh when I fought

Spoiler

Chef. I was expecting a reference to him but not a boss fight. I wonder why they retconned Darth Chef out of existence, though. And Not fighting Clyde was strange, though the Princess Kenny Fight was entertaining. I only saw Butters' and Kyle's Spacial boss attack, though.

 

[No Love]

Just booted up the game to see how it would run on my laptop (perfectly btw, game looks great).

Skipped all the cutscenes just to get into the game and the first thing I did was take a dump in the toilet and picked up a shit nugget.

Oh this is going to be fun.

Edit: There's a DLC option in the main menu...does that mean we could expect new content down the line (despite Matt and Trey appearing burnt out etc etc.)

What kind of laptop do you have? I'm wondering if this will run on my Ultrabook with Intel HD 4400 GPU... it'd be nice not to have to play it on my desktop sometimes. Edit: I guess it will considering people are playing it on weaker Surface PRo 2's...

 

[Sendou]

Either this is a game breaking bug or I'm missing something crucial. Light spoilers from relatively beginning below.

Spoiler

In the school brass room there's one kid hurt. I saved and loaded which causes the "buddy help" icon to disappear. So I can't interact with him and can't continue with the main quest line. I already helped him too but the way the game saving system works threw me back a bit.

Luckily there's another save 3 minutes ago but playing this games feels so dangerous to play :/ My platform is PC.

Yup speed potions make that fight so easy. I used them on both my and my companions turns and down they went quick. After that it was a matter of mopping up the rest. As for me I'm 6 hours in and just finished

I lost my shit here. I could not stop laughing my ass off.

I'm running it on a Lenovo Yoga 2 11. I'm pretty sure that's running the 4400 GPU (It's certainly not a beast) and fraps reports an almost rock solid 30fps. I think it only dips when it autosaves.

 

[Hugstable]

Is the 20% GreenManGaming coupon not working for South Park anymore? I tried using it right now and I just keep getting back that it's not a valid voucher. I thought it was supposed to be good until the 14th or so . Had to wait to get paid today before I was able to buy the game, and now I'm finding out it might not even work anymore.

 

[Zabka]

Works great on my home gaming computer. Also runs surprisingly well on a cheap NUC I have in the office ((this one).

Perfect. That's the same Intel GPU I have on my XPS 12. This game is not demanding AT ALL. The 4400 is as powerful as a Radeon 7550M so it does the job.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Those of you in the UK there's and interview with Matt in The Metro today that was a good read. Just the normal PR fluff piece but touched on a few bits.

Guys I'm sorry, I don't mean to get people upset...but anyone else kinda have a hankering for a MMO or Mini-MMO? Like maybe co-op. I think with all the varieties of outfits, fuck man I wanna play with a bunch of people.

Bizarrely when I was doing all the side quests I had a similar kind of throughout. Maybe released like an episode at a time with a few concurrent plot lines running through out. Could be interesting to see as thier clearly is enough scope from the South Park universe to do it.

All summons end the battle in one turn. This is why you can't use them in boss battles and why you only get three uses per summon (1 use per day).

The game was actually submitted and rated PEGI-18 before they made any cuts. Ubisoft decided to censor it anyway and resubmit it. Ubisoft are the ones to blame for the censorship.

What class are you playing? With a thief, all the bleeding you can cause makes that fight pretty simple, but if you do need a universal strategy, try using Butters' Professor Chaos ability. One of the options you can land on gives you an armor shield that lasts for quite a few hits, which can give you badly needed breathing room while the boss does his thing.

It's a tough fight (probably the most challenging one through day 2), but the conclusion to that quest line is so worth the pain.

I'm playing as a Jew, if that helps. But it's the boss's guards that are really causing me to lose each time. I'm doing like 1 damage on them. I thought "Oh, okay, that means use heavy attacks" but even then, hardly hurting them at all.

Also, random note, how do you get to the kid outside of Stan's (I think?) house. When you first pass him he says "you can't see me, I'm invisible" or something like that.

 

[krae_man]

Does the game have crafting? I've only played for a couple hours and spent most of it raiding every drawer I can open. I have a pile of random crap and I'm not sure if it's all there just to sell or if it can be used to make something later.

The one in the bushes? It's related to an ability you get later on.
