is freaking awesome so far, and with my current setup, I basically have infinite PP with him, and almost solo due to on hit effects. His specials are really great too.

The whole metronome part is only for initially learning the fart magics. Once you unlock it, the command in battle is: Right stick down -- (wait for visual indicator) -- Right stick up.

I'm not noticing any visual indicator, and am just guessing due to the intensity at which the controller is vibrating. For the first one you get anyway.

My Grand Wizard Edition just got here!

 

[Andrew.]

Yeah this shit is amazing. Was not expecting the music to be this good.

PS3 version

 

[Grief.exe]

Just played 70 minutes after using a VPN (hope I don't get banned...)

Very fun!


Edit: I'm disappointed that it's only 30fps on PC. I know it's not a high action game, and it's based on a cartoon itself (so attempts to mimic the animation), but they could still do the same without the frame panning being so choppy.

You won't get banned.

How does the cartman doll feel in the hands? Could you see yourself snuggling with it in bed before sleep time?

Download almost done, wine ready

The right SONG playing... SOON !

 

[FrankWza]

Hate the combat system. It's equal parts easy and tedious. Enjoying everything else for the most part. Am I right in saying there is ZERO dialog and the PC is a mute? Also, to add to Jason's reports of bugs. I had an incident this morning where I successfully defended two attacks and had an attack of opportunity never execute. PC just stood there while the 'elf' was on all fours in front of him. No matter how many times I clicked. Had to load previous checkpoint.

Happened to me...first battle

Same here

Any PS3 version owners? Does it run OK?

I cancelled my pre-order after seeing the reviews complaining about performance problems in the 360 version. And of course since this is an American multiplatform game, as usual no reviewer appears to have gotten the PS3 version for review, so I have no way of knowing for sure if it's as bad (but I assume it is, because these companies always consider the PS3 version an afterthought).

The PC version apparently has less problems, but I really prefer playing on consoles. Hopefully the current and upcoming patches will fix most of the issues.

Jitters while the game is quick saving are noticeable at first but you get used to them pretty quickly. It is by no means a deal breaker.

I am still in shock that I just played 5 hours of an Obsidian game without encountering a single major bug.

This is the only bug so far on the ps3 version I've seen. Load times are fine so far too. Haven't been longer than 3-4 seconds

You won't get banned.

So I have a related question. I'm back in my home country, so I can't launch South Park as it's 'preloaded'. However, if I go to steamapps\common\South Park - The Stick of Truth\ and run "South Park - The Stick of Truth.exe", it launches the game, along with the Steam overlay and everything.

... Think that'll get me banned?

Depending on the magic there is usually a clear cloud of sorts that forms after holding down for a second. The tips even mention to look for it.

I've had a problem in the sewer when

Spoiler

I lost a battle right after rescuing Cornwallis, and when the checkpoint reloaded, the enemies were gone but he was stuck and couldn't be rescued

. Is the day 1 patch out yet? Hopefully it fixes it.

 

[Milennia]

Damn... Only a few more hours until i get to indulge in south park deliciousness.

 

[UnrealEck]

This game works perfectly through Steam's streaming service.

It's made of a sort of soft plastic material. Sort of rubbery plastic. It's not a stuffed toy.

You will never get banned for running a game, no matter what method you use to do so.

 

[Un4]

Just received my code from GMG. Pre-loading now!

 

[chickdigger802]

so how do they get away with twitter and facebook? I guess it can be classified as parody?

no clue how that stuff works for video games vs tv.

I've been doing similar stuff for over a year and others doing it for longer. You won't get banned for it

Great! I figured so as I'm not using it to bypass pricing, and they probably wouldn't want me to stop spending £100 on Steam sales!

I just wasn't sure that, it's one thing having a US IP play the game, but a UK IP play the game before release...

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Had to dodge parades, 34 degree rain, my close Kmart being closed today, and every Gamestop that was open being sold out on PS3, but I eventually found one lone copy at the scary Kmart by the Chuck E Cheese.

I swear, I dunno what's wrong with me, but I can't stop chuckling even at little things like the walking animation.

 

[Revolutionary]

I just cried from laughter after failing the prompt on Kenny's Unicorn ability. This game is incredible.

I haven't even taken him out of the box yet. He's a lot bigger than I expected though.

Question regarding the hunting quest:

How do I get to Canada?

And whats up with the forest?

Also how do I get to

in the Sewer?

Anyone?

Quick someone tell me. PC, XBOX or PS3?

These unlock later in the game.

PC

I was leaning PC. Just didn't know if there were any game breaking bugs/ bad port, etc.

 

[UnrealEck]

I think the same bugs are in all versions of the game. It just runs smoother and loads quicker on PC, so it's just generally a nicer experience. Oh and it's cheaper.

 

[Intheflorsh]

This game goes to some fucked up places, I can't believe what I just witnessed.

I just paid $59.99 on Steam.. so I don't know how it's cheaper, unless I missed a deal! Oops..

 

[JaseC]

Thanks Bough it. Any way to unlock it earlier than the official 2 days 1 hour estimate Steam gives? I live in Finland if it is relevant here.

- Download and install Spotflux
- Run Spotflux and, after a connection has been established, type "What's my IP" into Google to ensure it's changed
- Restart Steam

At this point you can either switch Steam to Offline Mode and then kill the VPN (this will allow you to play on-and-off without needing to load the VPN again) or leave the VPN running and continue playing while online. Killing the VPN while Steam is online will cause your in-game status to cease and this can cause issues with achievement triggers.

PC version isn't censored anywhere

Germany and Austria: No Nazi references
Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore: Same as the European censorship albeit with a crying koala screen (retail copies outside of Australia may be exempt)

 

[davewiththeid]

I'm about 12 hours in -- I have a question for everyone who's beaten the game:

Spoiler

Is Al Gore also the only enemy who gave you any trouble whatsoever? Those SS guys are killer. Also, Gore has to be the best gag in the game. The FB feed spamming is so perfect.

Wait, why don't I even have South Park in my folder despite it being preloaded?

Pre-load data is encrypted and stored in the depotcache folder until it is unpacked.

Oh what?! Now NZ PC version is censored?! Fucking lying Ubisoft.

 

[Andrew.]

I dont know if anyone has downloaded pre order bonuses, but they corrupted my data even before the game installed. I deleted them after I got the notification and the game then reinstalled and is fine for now.

But yeah, the DLC bonuses fucked my shit right up.

PS3 version

 

[Grief.exe]

Kindergartners.

• Farm
• Lake
• Bank - Behind Counter
• To the Right of playground
• Sewer
• I've found one more, but I can't remember where.

Homeless Camps

• U-Stor - inside Truck on the right
• Kenny's house - right side? Not 100% sure if I am remembering this one right
• Jimmy's House - Go right once, path behind tree.

 

[Mudo]

Well I bought this using the 25% of GMG coupon. I have seen South Park maybe 4 or 5 times ever and only know a little about it. Is there something I can read or watch to give me a crash course so I'm not totally lost, or am I just screwed and going to miss a lot of references regardless? I'm excited anyways and can't wait to dig in after work!

 

[Andrew.]

Also, is there supposed to be a bit of a delay to your friends list after you get a friend request?

Either it takes a little while to update or Im looking in the wrong sub menu.

So, ist this legit? http://blog.playfire.com/2014/03/25...uite&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=gmgsocial

For some reason, I want to add the voucher, but gmg doesn't accept it.

Most are in the sewers -- maybe all the rest.

 

[Dicer]

Anyone giving this a try via wine? I've been fitzin with it and hasn't gotten me far yet, if you are and have it working let me know

I get past the company logo's then a black screen I can hear the epic music though, so close yet so far...

 

[jacksepticeye]

Like JaseC said it needs to be unpacked before it shows there.

I thought the same thing with Thief recently

Doesn't work for me anymore neither - didn't have my CC at hand when I wanted to order this noon and now it doesn't take the coded from their front page anymore... strange.

I tried the voucher that I posted and it worked on South Park. Should work for you unless there are regional restrictions. I live in EU so I don't know if they use different ones for the US

You have to go to the "Home" screen of the menu to have the friend requests finalize.

Assuming the Ubi rep wasn't mistaken then as I said retail copies might be fine. NZ is definitely lumped in with Australia on the Steam Store, though:

AU Australia
NZ New Zealand
SG Singapore
HK Hong Kong
TW Taiwan
