You have to keep playing to unlock the skill to break it
I've been using status ailments and debuffs pretty much all the way, but I haven't really looked into hitting multiple enemies with one weapon attack. Guess I need to switch from Composite Bow to the Batarang.
Also, I picked the Mage class and most of his spells are crap.

I did it more than once, I even started looking up the issue on the internet.

Thanks to both of you, I'm on my phone so I'm not sure how to multi quote, but thanks!
I should be close to unlocking it, so I'll go down there when I do!

Only around 2 hours in, but horribly tempted to start over again.
Knew I shouldn't have started playing this on a Friday because it was always likely that it'd be left over the weekend.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Burn them fuckers.
Every single enemy and boss (at least for me) was susceptible to the burn status effects, and it takes off a generous chunk of health at each turn.

If you've done Mr. Kim's quest, you can get an equipment patch that gives you 2 PP every time you do fire damage. This makes your dragon breath essentially free to use. Fully upgraded, it's pretty powerful. If you wait until after the

Al Gore calls his secret service guys
it's actually a fart/sneaky squeeker
I paid $12 after selling a few games. I give it a fart/Nagasaki. Maybe if I paid $60 I'd give it a fart/dragonshout.
I found few enemies resist bleeding, a lot resist gross out and hardly any resist burn. Man I had a smile on my face when I unlocked

Ugh, I can't find any enemies post game to fight\achievement farm on besides forest wolves.

Ok this time I'm super cereal. Al Gore was not easy. After a number of attempts I managed to beat him, but yeah that wasn't easy. I take it I wasn't supposed to be fighting Al Gore as early as level 7?
He's scaled to your level, so I think what matters the most is just how good your gear / skills are relative to your level.
I beat him pretty early on at like level 8 as well.

Ugh. So its not in the game. I was hoping that it was a level. I would buy that in a second.
Now I want a sequel with the super hero theme. So much more content they can use from the show too

Yeah, me too. I'm hoping there is some sort of DLC with them as well as
Mephesto, Saddam, Big Gay Al, Santa, a full crab people scene, aliens from "Cancelled"

Loving it so far, started again as a fighter and enjoying the skills.
Any tips on blocking?
Any tips on blocking?
It's literally just a case of pressing the button (A on Xbox) when the shield appears below the victim's feet. Just need to be careful of successive attacks that come really quickly after first blow.
Santa is actually on top of the police station, but it's only a short scene, similar to the Christmas Critters.
Mage is good. Max out Dragon's Breath as an armour stripper on demand. You can level up the cold spell to hit a cone and basically usually hit most enemies. Pyre Ball (the last spell) maxed out ignores armour and shields...
I'm sure the other classes are just as good. Or even the other mage spells, if you max them out they are just as useful.

I finished this yesterday, and it was everything I hoped it would be. This is how you do a licensed game. Not that many new characters, I play it because I want to see the ones I know and love. There was some slowdowns but overall it didn't bother me. As a major South Park fan I would rank this 10/10, of course if you're not it might not be as fun but whatever.
Some thoughts: (don't read if you haven't finished, not everything needs to be spoiler but just in case.)
I've read on here Gaf that Matt and Trey seemed pretty burned out from the whole experience of making a game but I desperately want a follow up. I was thinking last night what characters and factions was missing and/or was severely underused. I know some of them were cut from the game considering earlier photos and stuff.

I have always liked Kevin Stoley as a bit-player and I was surprised that he got a fairly meaty role. I would say that it was bigger than both Tweek's and Token's roles, who in the show are bigger characters.
Loved that a lot of "forgotten characters" was featured in the game in one way or another. I.E. Halfie or the nurse.
The censorship on EU-copies sucked and is basically my only complaint.
Love how everything just kept escalating and shit just became dumber and dumber. Nazi Zombies, ok. Fucking Nazi zombie fetuses, just great.
Didn't have an over reliance on pop-culture references, which was great. Although Tom Cruise in the closet made me laugh.
Not that many fart jokes. It seemed like that would be a lot of the focus of the humor pre-release but I was happily surprised that wasn't the case.

Grandpa Marvin felt like a pretty big character that was nowhere to be seen. And overall the school felt underused. Most of the parents got to play a part and frankly outside of Randy no one needed to have a bigger role than just standing around.
For a follow up I guess a superhero-theme makes the most sense, and for new characters as I mentioned above Grandpa Marsh could feature, along with Satan and Captain Hindsight. Also Scott the dick and Scott Tenorman.
For factions that was obviously cut in this game I would like to see Crabpeople play a larger role and also hippies. I guess the elderly could have a spot as well.

This game has a lot more going on than dick and fart jokes. This may sound cheesy, but it really captures the power of imagination and reminds me what it was like to be kid. It's a lot like Calvin and Hobbes in that respect. A+.
Not enough people mentioning the music in this game. It has an amazing score, but I didn't hear What What in the Butt played anywhere.
Also, I kind of recall seeing a screenshot before the game came out where the Goths where fighting in a Cemetery - was that in the game at all?
I know I missed 1 pair of undies, 1 kindergarten kid and I totally missed seeing the forest critters - I wonder what else I missed.
Kind of tempted to replay the game in hard mode or something, it was piss-easy playing normal mode as a Mage.

Music is incredible -- but then again Matt and Trey have been nominated for an Oscar and won a Tony for original music, so it's not too surprising.
I love how they even included songs from Team America and other stuff they've worked on.

No Cartman love at all? Cartman wrecked for me.

Kyle is ridiculously OP. Ike is probably the second best single target damage in the game and his arrow is easily the strongest AOE, which is on top of his decently high defense.
Cartman is such a glass cannon that he's more fun to play with in my opinion, he goes down in just a few hits to balance out his damage.

That's how I felt, Cartman and Kyle were very comparable with defense being the biggest difference. I enjoyed the handicap more, at least added some difficulty.
I know that they're well known for their musicals, but I don't think they're the composers for this game's soundtrack. Most of the show's soundtrack is composed by Jamie Dunlap but I'm not sure if he's the game's composer. I tried finding out who was the composer/s in the game's credit but couldn't find it.

Yup. Cartman is fun to play with as a result I think. But I've enjoyed using them all.

I rocked Kyle the whole way once I got him. Kick the Baby did insane dmg, and the aoe arrows were sweet.
I'm booting up a replay now on hard. I think I'm going Mage or Jew.

Yeah, I mixed it up as much as I could. Jimmy was probably my least favorite because his damage output was so low. His sleep could be very powerful but I just didn't need it or his PP regen.

Can you get past that scene? Does it just play out? I reloaded my game after a minute or so.
You gotta let it play out.

I played with Butters the entire game and didn't have a single hard spot =\
Just finished the game. I think the length was perfect (maybe I'd think differently if the year wasn't so crowded), and the whole thing was just as hilarious as I'd expect from a South Park game. The ending was perfect (and that's a very rare thing in a game, never mind an RPG!).
I also didn't know about
until I got to it, so that was a nice surprise.
I also didn't know about

Question WRT buddies and the story...
I am on day 3 in the school..can I use Kyle even if I've chosen to side with Cartman?
