im looking at the fix list and i dont see anything that stands out. Are you referring to the incorrect spelling of joystick in Spanish?

edit:

Heres a link to the post with the review guide that has the patch notes. Looks like standard stuff to me. Nothing in it stands out as having a "baaaaaaaaad time" if it wasnt fixed asap.

Oh nice, I just noticed those patch notes confirm that you can choose difficulty.

 

[Gen X]

I cannot believe this is finally coming out after all this time. It does, however, come out a few days before my overseas trip so it will have to wait. Or, I buy it while I am on holiday to play when I return.

it was a harmless south park reference

Got a press copy, under embargo and stuff but I can say that...

- plays exactly the way it appears in videos (see PewDiePie's video for example)
- feels like an episode of south park (for example: rude funny insensitive humor)

Can't wait til I can go into detail. will drop a video on my channel about it on the 4th when my embargo is lifted.

Excellent!

Thanks for the positive notes!

I wrote my review today. I'm bursting at the seams to tell people about this game.

Even though the embargo lifts really close to release comments like these are getting me more hyped than a glowing review. Maybe im misunderstanding and you guys and all the other reviewers cant wait to tell us how bad the game is but the whole anticipation of the affair is pushing some major psychological buttons.

Have you played Paper Mario before? I ask because in my mind, that game *felt* good in gameplay, the hits, sounds and such were responsive and I always worried this game would suffer from a more hollow feeling or, watered down/less fun style of play. I apologize for the poor wording but hopefully it can make some sense, PM is just fun to play because it actually feels good to pull things off rather than just the fact you did it.

 

[Sublyminal]

Man, I can't wait for this game to drop. The vids I have seen have me in stitches.

 

[PedroPanache]

Excellent!

*still on the fence whether to shell out for the Steam key*

I'm on that same fence. Love South Park and really love the idea of being able to play around in that universe, but gameplay is king, and until the reviews are in, I'm not putting any money down. I'm quietly confident that Obsidian will deliver a game worthy of the brand, but, for now, I'm just going to wait.

I'd be disappointed if it averages in the 70-80 range, citing it as flawed mechanically, but getting by on the charm of the license. If that happens, I'm waiting on a steam sale of 75%

I am a pretty big fan of South Park, lately I have been using their episode streaming service as a background activity when playing grind heavy/story light games.

I am on the fence because of my monetary situation. It's not the very best at the moment and I do not want to burden myself with more shit.

 

[Brazil]

Will non fans enjoy it? And how about old school JRPG fans?

The humor is, as someone would expect, very characteristic.

Gotta deal with that embargo, though!

Well at least youll save some money i guess. No Obsidian game will ever review 90 or higher.

Yup, same here. I've got plenty of crap on Steam already, enough to last me till Christmas. Money is tight, but at the same time, I just couldn't resist a really good South Park game that feels like I'm playing a great episode. I can resist an average game that punches above its weight because of the license, mind you. If it gets great reviews, it goes straight to the top of my gaming list; money be damned.

Well at least youll save some money i guess. No Obsidian game will ever review 90 or higher.

I don't expect it to. I do have a feeling that it will score in the high 80's; which is enough for me to jump off the fence. The reviews I'll gravitate towards will be the ones where the reviewer is a big fan of the show. I don't care much for the opinion of non-fans reviewing the game, other than they might have more insight on the mechanics.

Jealous! - BUT looking forward to what you have to say

i really would love this on my Xbox One - it just doesn't feel the same these days rocking out the Xbox360

Aggregate low 80s tops.

Urge to pre-order rising. This game is going to deliver. I can feel it in my bones.

 

[Gurrry]

I really hope this game sells really well. For a couple of reasons actually:

We know Matt and Trey love video games, but there previous attempts at an SP game have all but failed. If they finally do have some success, they may make more. And who knows, maybe it wont even be a South Park game next time.

Original IP from Matt and Trey? Sign me the fuck up.

 

[witness]

Reading all the positive vibes on this page has me so hyped.

 

[ekim]

Hey guys, what if I told you I have a way to get us the south park game if we all pitch in?

I heard you can rent Paul Martin's American Grill for wedding receptions. I made a plan:

You know, I would probably like a good Team America third-person shooter.

 

[Grief.exe]

I hope they don't compress the audio quality for the PC/PS3 release.

 

[DukeBobby]

These impressions...

 

[UpsideDownAce]

Hnnnggg.... all the beating around the bush about the positives of this game is making the wait even more unbearable.

Can't wait to finally play this Tuesday!

 

[razgriz417]

These impressions...

Was trying to figure out if this game unlocks at midnight, according to Steam, we still have 5 days 3 hours, so that's Tuesday 2pm EST?

On March 13, 2012, Obsidian cancelled a "future next gen project", resulting in the layoff of approximately 20-30 employees both from that project and the upcoming Stick of Truth team.[14] On June 4, 2012, they debuted the first trailer at E3 2012. It was also announced at E3 that there would be multiple DLC packs, the first 3 of which will debut on Xbox 360 first and the DLC pack "Mysterion Superhero" would be an Xbox 360 exclusive. It was also revealed that the Xbox 360 version would feature Kinect integration, allowing the user to use voice control including the ability to berate Cartman.

I wonder if any of that is still on the table.

 

[Dub117]

Yeah this is making the wait even harder. I wish we could read some reviews that would help a little. I'm guessing there is some sort of surprise half way through or near the end as people that have played more seem to reaaaly want to say something...

im actually kind of glad reviews arent coming out till launch...kind of builds my hype even more. Something would probably get ruined, now I can experience it for myself

 

[adj_noun]

I wonder if any of that is still on the table.

Could be, I suppose. I remember all references to that stuff disappearing when THQ went under.

There's definitely no longer any references to 360 exclusive content.

That's good to know, would you say it was worth the 1 year late wait?

 

[SlasherJPC]

This isn't really a spoiler or anything major but the fact that any time you load your game you get the SouthPark commercial break banjo twang play just makes me smile every time.

 

[Fezzan]

Great, so we do this and we can all get the 360 version of south park

What are you talking about, 360? I thought we were getting it for PS3!

 

[Scavenger]

360 version is region locked according to Videogamesplus.

But I want it for PS3, not crappy Xbox!

 

[abundant]

I somehow made it through the 4 PewDiePie videos and I already can tell that this will be my GOTY for sure. If you love South Park's brand of humor, then this game may be one of the funniest games ever. It's also full of references for the fans, even the random junk you pick up or going to the bank will be worth it.

Sidequests also seem to be worth doing, because that is how you unlock summons.

 

[Fezzan]

But I want it for PS3, not crappy Xbox!

FINE, everyone who wants the shitty PS3 version go over there!
