I was referring to the retail version.

I'm waiting that too
+1
Double dipping was worth it for me (in theory) because it's been lower in price than the DLC ever was on PS3 (plus I sold my copy anyway because the DLC was taking forever to release).
I put over 100 hours in and got platinum in it on PS3 as well.
Yup.
Your FAITH in the game at this point is amazing. I'm expecting a giant letdown beyond anything I can even imagine.
You may just be the Solaire of SteamGAF.

I am playing the original painkiller and i noticed that 1280x1024 looks better than 1600x1200. Correct me if i am wrong but shouldn't 1600x1200 look better since it is higher?

Not if the textures suck and it's just scaling/stretching them to the higher resolution.
Go take a 800x600 image and scale it up to 1600x1200, it's not pretty.

So basically the lower looks better since the game was made for 4:3 at the time right?
I find it somewhat difficult to understand how dismayed people are about the DkS2 downgrades. Personally, I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with the game. The whole light thing always seemed like a gimmick that would get old very fast, so I'm quite optimistic that it's still going to be a jolly good time.
But I'm not here to tell people how to feel of course, I'm just ever optimistic.

The gameplay impressions have been quite solid across the board. The lighting/graphical changes and the loss of a compelling gameplay mechanic are unfortunate, but hopefully they make a return for the PC version.
You are referring to using torches, right?
Enjoy.

What was that?
They added a bunch of ambient lighting to all/most/some (depending who you ask) of the previously pitch black areas, so torch managing is no longer necessary in order to see ahead.
We love you too, Doc.

Ah ok. I always found that more annoying than anything else (torch out, look, shield out), so I'm kind of glad it is gone.
Do you need to be a "modern" south park fan to appreciate most of it? Or can you get by with enjoying the show like...10 years ago or whatever it was? (Edit. Shit it was 15...)
We love you back fellow Gaffer! I almost certain you broke a record on giving away keys

Nah you can tell from the gifs it's gone because they had to put it on consoles and give it worse textures.
How did you find it annoying if it wasn't in DS1I forgot Tomb of Giants. Dat atmosphere and tension tho.
Sunlight Maggot for the win.
Wait, where did you get MW2 for that price? I've got MW1, but still missing the other two.
Damn Black Ops 2, got me hooked with Prestige Mode...
...there are only 17 seasons. So you will have missed 88% of the series content.
Specifically, the game also includes characters from later episodes and celebrities/political figures with show specific story lines that wouldn't make any sense for how they are inserted into the story/game if you haven't seen the show.
If you want I can give you a list, but giving you a list of the episodes that share major characters is problematic; as it would ruin some of the twists and jokes in the game.
If you want, you can view the entire series (except 3 episodes) at southparkstudios.com.

Shattered dreams, unrealistically high expectations and all that jazz
I'll wait and see for myself. And I just realized what feels off about DS2 - look at the cover art, the fur.

i was watching the DS2 quicklook and all i could think of was "hey its dark souls, but not in the locations ive done for 200 hours, yay". And even tho i expect the PC version to be prettier, the game was always ugly except for the art direction (even with dsfix), so I dont know what magical amazing looking game people remember in DS1
What backlash have you seen? Assuming you're not talking about the graphics in the final product as compared to previous demos, the reception's been overwhelmingly positive.

the backlash usually starts and stops (as in, it turns into "im canceling my pre order waaah") with the graphics, but also the whole lightning thing with the previous dark caves now not needing a torch and how that is for casuals (because that dark cave in DS1 was so fun to do...)
Im talking about the internet mind you, not just gaf. there are other places out there

Yeah I guess that is the concern. I think I checked out around the time of the Britney Spears episode... Just felt it had kind of "peaked".
Will wait on it I think and maybe watch a few episodes first.

Dream over
Thanks for this. I was holding out on it.
Funny you should mention that. I was just thinking about selling my PS3 Black Armor on eBay in April. I'd like to get $30 for it but I'll have to see where prices are at I guess.
Yeah, I was about to say that myself. It sounds like a tedious mechanic that would get old very quick.
I actually kinda disagree with Casimir here
there's definetly some references, mostly visual (if you go to the kids closets you see costumes and memorabilia from the most famous episodes). Some characters are much more prevalent now in South Park (butters, randy marsh) than before, so they play a big role and that might be.. weird? if you stopped early, same with clyde and some others, but it's honestly nothing that affects your experience with the game deeply IMO.
I found it hilarious and great on it's own, and I havent watched South Park in a long time either. Didnt feel like I missed a thing of the experience by not having watched the show lately, and if I did it was nothing circumstancial that affected my enjoyment of it.
Also, I know the game is about South Park and the writing first and foremost, but it's just really mechanically FUN, like Paper Mario. Just really really fun to play, even if it's not challenging.

Jesus Christ them video games. I read your piece at the end, I can't even imagine what its like.
I agree with this weirdo who is still celebrating Christmas three months after the fact. I still haven't used fast travel in part because the battles are fun.

Quiet you.
There's a $100 digital deluxe edition? Wut?
As I said earlier, the game remind me a lot of costume quest -- fast travel becomes important when you aren't really getting into battles and you just want to turn quests in. Also, there's a level cap at 15, so once you hit it, random battles are useless for the most part unless you're grinding money (and unless you're going for the achievement where you don't sell anything, you won't need to) or doing it for other achievements (DIRE AIDS) or quests you may have missed.

For anyone who cares, Not The Robots just got cards. Not too many on the market yet.
Take that back, both of you!
I hope it's really as fun as you guys say, as I'm fan of games that are fun to play and that means I will be buying SP after all, not now though, no.
