South Park: The Stick of Truth (PRE-RELEASE DISCUSSION)

[Zed]

Yeah but Terrance and Phillip are supposed to be ironic or meta-toilet humour. Or something. To be honest it's the only part of the series I never truly understood.

But you did understand them. It is ironic, meta-toilet humor, a commentary on how the show itself was perceived by many at the time. I guess at the beginning it was also supposed to be a parody of Itchy and Scratchy but they dropped the idea of making it a recurrent gag after the show settled in (mind you that i stopped watching the show after season twelve, after which i'm sure they started to recycle a lot of their older catch phrases or tropes). Personally, i think the show really took off with season four, with the first seasons having too much random for the sake of random and trololo, with Terrance and Phillip being a part of that.

The earlier episodes have way more catch phrases and shticks. "screw you guys I'm going home", "oh my god, they killed kenny", a lot more terrance & phillip, jews are greedy, satan is gay, etc

[Turisas]

gamesware.at says that the german version is censored and the jew class is named "Paladin".

How fitting, when I think of noble paladins, jews also always come to mind.



"A paladin, huh? So I guess we'll never really be friends."

So of all the people to get to show more footage of this game, it just had to be PewDiePie.

Terence and Phillip started as a meta-commentary on how people accused South Park of being just toilet humor when it first debuted, but that was just the starting point for their characters. At their heart they are more absurdism than meta-commentary and I think they work as characters entirely apart from the meta-commentary. "Not without my Anus" is one of my favorite episodes ever, and not as any sort of meta-humor. It's all just straight up absurdism and non-sensical silliness and parodies of bad TV melodrama and American perceptions of Canadians.

Plus, the first good episode of South Park was "Rainforest Schmainforest," which was the first episode of season 3. Then the series hit its prime beginning with the movie (I still see the movie as the quintessential South Park. It never got better than that).

Hey, all I gotta say is this: Breakout Characters.
The show has got a few of them. Damn good ones too.

 

[Broseph]

This game is pretty cool guys.

 

[Zed]

this game is gonna make obsidian some nice cash me thinks. reviews won't matter. offended journalists will just fuel the fire, and no-one will give a shit about the ratings.

man o man, this is good for the future of The Incline.

I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that SPSoT will become the best-selling game of the year.

 

[Xor]

this game is gonna make ubisoft some nice cash me thinks

Fixed.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I think the pilot was good too. I find it interesting that it took them so long to get their stride, its like they didn't expect their show was going anywhere and they had no idea what to do with it.

 

[Angthoron]

So apparently the South Park game will be heavily censored in the usual countries:

Germany for example will have the "jew" class renamed.

To what? Something more topical, like Middle East Migrant Worker?

And all the money will go to ubisoft.
Will be good for Obsidian's image though.

Paladin.

Paladin.

But the Paladin class already exists, Butters is one. So now Butters is a Jew?

 

[Hobo Elf]

Ask Obsidian. They are the ones who decided that Jew would be changed into Paladin.

It wasn't renamed. It turned out to be a mistake in regards to the pre-order bonuses.

 

[Angelo85]

Yeah sorry about that, the Jew class will not be renamed for the German version. Several Websites reported about it, but apparently you can't believe everything that is written on the Internet!
What they censor for the German version are Nazi symbols as per usual.

 

[Haba]

Yes.

 

[Duraframe300]

The european console versions got censored. PC is unaffected.
Rating for the console versions doesn't seem to change at all, so nobody knows why it was even censored in the first place.

Spoiler

 

[Bubbles]

Five?

Yet another reason why people should be buying the PC version. Still don't understand why people who have PCs keep getting games on consoles. Fine if it is Last of Us or some other exclusive, but it's got a PC version, get that one.

 

[Caim]

But wait, when we superior PC gamers get that abortion scene with Randy Marsh, is it him we abort via time travel stuff, or do we abort his child?

Subquestion for the second scenario: is said child Stan? Sub-subquestion: is that how we recruit him in the game? Because that woudl mean that Saints Row IV and Mass Effect 2 ain't got shit on this game's recruitment missions.

Actually, there are three main reasons for that for me.

• Some games come cheaper on consoles.
• Playing with second player(Cooperative or agains) is easier and better on big tv sceen.
• Some games are simply more suited to controller.(Which can be bought for pc but i didn't needed one when i got a PS3 myself)

PC is generally superior, but playing on consoles have it's upsides too.
