Lutefisk doesn't make you fart.

 

[Zukuu]

Thank you, Thank you and Thank you.

That and the 3-episodes of Season 17, Episode 7,8 and 9.

If you watch those 4 eps, you're perfectly set.

 

[Geedorah]

it won't run without steam

i wonder how they got out of the Steam ---> UPlay launcher clusterfuck that is every other modern ubi game?

Even the copy they are selling on uPlay itself? 'cause that is the main thing keeping me from just jumping on it - I want the 'extra' 3 classes, but I want it in my Steam library even more.

Uplay games that happen to be Steamworks have activated on Steam in the past.

Are those the Black Friday episodes?

 

[Squall ASF]

Is there a point or benefit to pre-ordering on steam?

 

[adj_noun]

Are those the Black Friday episodes?

Yeah.

 

[Andrew.]

Yeah.

Awesome thanks!

 

[Interfectum]

There's that "fellowship" pack or some shit.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Lutefisk doesn't make you fart.

No, it just sticks to the walls

Think of it like a fart enhancer

 

[ThisOne]

Very interested to see how this does in the NPDs. Is South Park still a big draw for people? I've kind of grown tired of the show but the game does look fun (and funny). May pick it up when it drops in price some.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Who is derrick? Some forum princess or something?

A poster who was remembered as hating everything.

oh yes, I remember him.

RIP in peace derrik.

 

[Squall ASF]

Oh interesting, guess I'd be stupid not to pre-order it then.

 

[Sublyminal]

There's that "fellowship" pack or some shit.

That's why I got it... lol. I wanted the extra costume perks for the classes.

 

[Timu]

I will be surprised if this game gets below an 85 on MC.

With how reviews are nowadays I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

 

[DukeBobby]

Obsidian need that bonus.

 

[Sublyminal]

With how reviews are nowadays I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

Is it just me or does anyone else not give two fucks what a reviewer thinks of games anymore? I honestly wish that I could be paid to give my opinion on games, like all of these reviewers are doing.

Yeah I've completely stopped caring. Reviewers are just random underqualified writers that could have their jobs done (and done better) by 75% of GAF. I know i'll enjoy this game regardless of reviews, but I hope for the sake of sales it does alright review-wise.

pretty sure that is the dream job of pretty much anyone here

That's not very nice!

 

[Fezzan]

This sounds like it can be lethal for up to 5 miles.

I'm sure some Gaffer will make a thread that their boss thought it was BBQ Chicken

 

[Milennia]

With how reviews are nowadays I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

Reviews are on the 7-10 scale and its by obsidian, this game has had the odds in its hands from the get go.

 

[robotrock]

Any news on a preload?

 

[March of the Crabs]

That's not very nice!

To be fair I love the journalism side of things (interviews, long and informative articles and even previews), but I just think reviews are a waste of time that have way too much emphasis put on some random person's opinion. To each their own though!

• March 4, 2014 (US)
• March 6, 2014 (AU) (console version censored)
• March 7, 2013 (EU) (console version censored)

Price:

Pretty sure ALL AU versions were censored. PC included.​

Ubisoft has said the PC version is not affected, but I haven't kept up with this.

Wasn't that for the Europe version? I thought they were separately edited and they were forced to in Australia to keep the R18+ rating. I might be mistaken.

We need sources!

 

[VanCityGamer]

From people who have been reviewing the game and posting in this thread, it looks to be 18-20+ hours for main quest alone. Side quests are extremely numerous.

Impressions have been extremely positive, but they cannot reveal too much due to embargo.

Unless I've missed something, I don't think that's quite right. The only person I've seen provide a concrete estimate said 16-18 hours, and that included 3 side quests. That was also only an estimate. Who knows, could be even more but my guess is closer to 15 hours for the main quest alone.

 

[Darklord]

We need sources!

Every article I've come across assumes it's the same for Australia but the Ubisoft statement doesn't imply that. It's basically worded as "The EU version is censored but consoles only. Australian version is also censored.".

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Title change?

 

[adj_noun]

Title change?

Not complete yet. We're still (apparently) deciding on the right one.

 

[Gintoki313]

Just came back from reserving a copy for PS3. I would have got it for PC, but the trophies looked like they'll be fun to get. Yeah, I'm one of those people that enjoy getting trophies.

I just hope the PS3 version is stable.

 

[PolarGamer]

Got a message today from Ubi saying a review copy of the game is on it's way! Why aren't publishers sending out nothing but download codes? I know I would want a physical copy in a few years, but now I just want to play it.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

I bought this game from a guy on reddit for $20. He gave me it as a steam trade.
The game was region free and I just kept it in my inventory.
Well yesterday I looked and it says it's only redeemable in Russia and stuff.

Valve changed it or something.
What can I do?

Tl;dr anyone near Eastern Europe wanna buy south park stick of truth for $20 usd

yup, last week (i think) Ubi regionlocked the game in Russia, if you didn't add the game to your library before then you got screwed

What is the point of region locking? Can someone please explain that to me.

You're not supposed to sit on those...

 

[Echoplx]

The AU store page on Steam does say it's a "Low Violence Version"

 

[SHEF]

Just in case people were curious- VGP have tested the US 360 version, and unlike almost every other Ubisoft published 360 game, it is not region free.

Nooooooooooo... I wonder if there is any possibility the games on demand version might be ok and the censorship is just limited to physical copies; grasping at straws here!

This. Though, I would love to be paid to spout my bullshit opinions.

 

[MNC]

Wasn't there some work around to get it activated on your account if you had a russian copy?

 

[Fezzan]

pretty sure that is the dream job of pretty much anyone here

I would give every single game a ten and then when a big game that everyone is hyped for like Dark Souls 2 comes around give it a zero and then quit.

Perfect you are now my assistant.

 

[Almighty]

You guys would make terrible reviewers. Everyone know you are only supposed to give those who paid you a ten and everyone else a five at best. Look at you handing out tens for free like suckers.
