Tim WildStar Cain.

Yeah, but it's fucking South Park.

"Oh my god they killed Kenny! You bastards!" was a line included in Fallout.

Serious answer to TwinkieGorilla: Some people are interested in this game because it looks a) nicely polished and b) more importantly, different. The average Codexer simply isn't very familiar with games of this type, and has never played them. If familiarity breeds contempt, then unfamiliarity breeds curiosity.

I'm sure plenty of people will announce the game is shit upon release anyway, but that's how things are right now.

You miss my point. South Park is not inherently bad (though the show itself hasn't been relevant for nearly two decades and stopped being particularly funny to me shortly after I graduated high school) and there is a difference between a reference made to a show (back when it WAS relevant) and an entire game based on it. There's just no way I can find myself getting excited about an RPG based on a tired, old, juvenile cartoon which has long since run its course. I don't see the appeal here.

Can't wait for the Family Guy game!



EDIT:

Why do you hate turn-based combat and Tim Cain?

Seriously? People are brofisting this? Petition to change site name to Mouthbreather Codex.

It's been holding steady for a decade, I imagine people who still like the show who are also into games would be enthused.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Yes, obviously. I just didn't assume those people were here.

I've seen that "Randy Marsh in a roomful of semen" reaction image in this forum more times than I've wanted to (zero).

You really think it's different? It's a jRPG just like Super Mario RPG, or more recently, Costume Quest.

Seems to me just an excuse for people here to play jRPGs, having kwan's farts jokes instead of weaboo's usual stuff... as that somehow is more legit.

Different from what most Codexers play, yes.

That's not semen; it was a spooky ghost.

Well, because some of the best episodes of South Park is when the kids are larping, man that gameplay trailer kinda convinced me of throwing some money to them (still will wait for a discount, 60$ dollars for it is too much and the codex veredict). That thief dude falling and being eletrocuted on water, the way the healing spell works (that tapping on the shoulder), the bard and Cartman with the ketchup it is absolutelly childish but endearing at same time.
